In the world of immortality, spiritual stones are money.
That thing cannot be eaten or drunk. Although it contains majestic spiritual energy, it is full of impurities.
If the monks were not on the verge of life and death, they would never dare to absorb it directly.
Under normal circumstances, it is used by big forces to inspire formations and control large magic weapons.
On the other hand, the rumored top-quality spiritual stone has the spiritual energy inside it condensed to an extremely pure level, which can be directly absorbed by monks.
But that kind of good thing is simply not accessible to ordinary monks.
Not to mention the best spiritual stones, ordinary spiritual stones can indeed be used as a general currency due to their scarcity.
Moreover, the right to issue this kind of currency is basically in the hands of the large sects.
The reason is simple, the more powerful the sect, the better the spiritual veins it can occupy.
And spiritual stones are produced from various spiritual veins.
Currency actually has no real value on earth.
It is more of a reflection of a country's credit, and this credit is formed by the integration of strong national strength and abundant resources.
When a country's credit goes bankrupt, its currency is actually a pile of waste paper.
In this world of immortality, the truth is similar.
The sect is too powerful, so when they decide to settle their respective cultivation resources as "spiritual stones", ordinary monks can only accept it.
Not only accept it, but also try your best to earn enough spiritual stones.
The battle between the Dajiang Gang and the Poshan Gang is over the resources in the mountains, and those resources represent spiritual stones.
At this time, in the Dajiang Gang, gang leader Wang Haichao sent away a foundation-building monk with a tired look.
"Finally the deal is settled."
"As long as we win the battle to the death the day after tomorrow and gain control of the channel resources in the mountains, the Lianyun Merchant Alliance will promise to hand over the water transportation of the other four cities to us."
Below him was Gao Tingyuan, the second-in-command of the Dajiang Gang.
Hearing this, Gao Tingyuan couldn't help but be extremely excited.
Just a waterway transportation here in Dahefang has made the Dajiang Gang a lot of money, and can even support Wang Haichao's daily practice in the foundation period.
If we take over the water transportation of another four cities, how much money will the Dajiang Gang make?
It can at least provide one or two more foundation-building periods for practice!
Seeing how excited he was, Wang Haichao frowned slightly, but soon smiled.
"Xiao Gao, it's not easy for you to follow me for so long."
"After I obtain the four waterway transportation rights, I will definitely try my best to buy you a Foundation Establishment Pill."
Gao Tingyuan was overjoyed and quickly bent down and bowed.
"Serve the boss until death!"
Wang Haichao twitched his lips, stopped mentioning this issue, and changed the topic.
"How about the fight to the death the day after tomorrow, are you sure about it?"
The list of eighteen people who will fight to the death on the Taoist platform has been submitted.
However, the order of fighting each other is still confidential.
In other words, Gao Tingyuan may encounter the Seven Tigers of Poshan Mountain or the Two Swordsmen.
When life and death were involved, Gao Tingyuan's joy gradually faded and turned solemn.
"As long as I don't encounter Broken Blade Xu Renke, I won't lose!"
Wang Haichao is also very clear about this.
Xiao Gao is very powerful, especially on large rivers, so he is also known as the Dragon of the River.
But the Taoist Forum has limited environment. If you meet the other party, you will probably lose.
"Are you sure you are sure about the others?" Wang Haichao asked.
Gao Tingyuan said confidently: "The other eight people, the Seven Tigers of Breaking the Mountain, only have the Heart-Eating Tiger. The Mountain-Breaking Tiger has some strength, but I am not afraid at all. The Sick Tiger used to be very strong, but after the road was cut off, he indulged in enjoying himself. I almost It surpassed him years ago.”
"What about Broken Jade Tiger?"
"Haha, just a young boy."
"No, I'm talking about the Broken Jade Tiger from before."
Gao Tingyuan was startled, "He's back?"
Seeing his appearance, Wang Haichao shook his head and said, "It seems that you are not sure, but don't worry. There are nine people, and the chance of you meeting them is slim. I have arranged for others."
Gao Tingyuan looked a little gloomy when he heard the word "other people".
Originally, apart from the gang leader Wang Haichao, he was the second master of the Dajiang Gang.
But recently, several late-stage Qi-refining monks have appeared out of nowhere, and all of them are powerful, which has greatly threatened his status.
"Maybe he is someone secretly supported by the Lianyun Merchant Alliance. I hope that after participating in the death battle, he will go back to where he came from." Gao Tingyuan thought to himself.
suddenly!
Wang Haichao's face changed slightly, he stood up suddenly and reached out to grab it.
But, I got nothing.
Whoosh!
There was a scream, and a small sword was stuck in front of his desk.
On the small sword, there was a yellow talisman written in Wufeng Natural, and then a cold and stern voice came out.
"Take care of your people and don't come to the inner city to cause trouble."
It is the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect's unique Flying Sword Telegraph Telegraph, and its effect is superior to that of ordinary telegraph telegraph notes.
The blood drained from Wang Haichao's face and turned completely white.
He slowly raised his head and stared at Gao Tingyuan.
"You sent someone to the inner city?"
Gao Tingyuan was also frightened at this moment.
That little sword is so fast.
If you want to kill him, I'm afraid it will be effortless.
After all, even Wang Haichao in the foundation building period was caught off guard and was not caught.
It can be seen from this that the person who sent this flying sword message is at least in the foundation building stage.
He showed an ugly smile and said reluctantly: "Boss, I just sent two people to investigate Luo Chen, the one related to the death of my little brother."
"It's something that fails to accomplish anything but fails more than it does!"
Wang Haichao cursed, and then said angrily: "Didn't I tell you not to make trouble until the matter is over?"
Gao Tingyuan didn't dare to speak, he just lowered his head.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Haichao knew that the other party would have to help this time, so he held back his anger and said: "Once again, before Master Jindan of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect leaves, he is not allowed to cause trouble in the inner city, and he must restrain himself in the outer city. .”
"Got it, boss!"
"Go down and prepare for a fight to the death."
After he left, Wang Haichao rubbed his brows.
Then he took out a list from the storage bag.
"This guy's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. If I keep him in the future, I'm afraid he might get in the way!"
...
After getting off the ship, Gao Tingyuan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Duan Sanfu happened to come up to him, and he slapped him with his backhand.
"Where's the thin monkey?"
Duan Sanfu was stunned and subconsciously replied: "Stay in the inner city and keep an eye on that kid."
"Are you sure he wasn't exposed?"
"Probably, probably not yet! Besides, it doesn't matter if it's exposed..."
Snapped!
Another slap.
“It’s something that fails more than enough to achieve success, but more than enough failure.”
Gao Tingyuan walked away angrily, leaving Duan Sanfu frozen in place with symmetrical red finger prints on the left and right sides of his face.
...
Two days later, the entire Dahefang, with twenty to thirty thousand monks, took action.
Put down what you were doing and head towards the inner city.
Today is the opening ceremony of Lundaotai, which is definitely a first-class event in the local area.
Regardless of whether you can sneak into Luofeng Mountain to observe it, it is still a good thing to experience it up close.
And I heard that Yuding Jiange has also built a gambling stall in the inner city, and will open a market for the bloody battle between the two gangs.
The minimum bet is one spirit stone, and there is no upper limit.
No matter how poor a monk is, he can still get hold of one or two spiritual stones.
I can’t see it, but if you bet on winning or losing, it can be counted as participating in this grand event!
Years later, it can be used as a conversation piece.
In the courtyard in the north of the city, Murong Qinglian got up early and started preparing clothes for her husband Qin Liangchen.
In the yard, Bai Meiling and Feng Xia were a little depressed.
They can't go to the scene. There must be a lot of people in the city today, which is a perfect day for Baicaotang to do business.
Two wage earners can't live without each other.
Accompanied by Murong Qinglian, Qin Liangchen walked out wearing a brand new robe.
"Brother Qin, we must win!"
"Old Qin, victory is in full swing, come back safely!"
Qin Liangchen laughed and said, "Okay, I'll come back and serve the wine then, so everyone can have a good meal."
Just as he was laughing, the door to the opposite room suddenly opened.
A young man dressed in gray clothes, with a wooden hairpin in his hair and long hair tied up behind his back, walked out.
Qin Liangchen's eyes lit up, "Xiao Luo, has your level improved?"
"Thanks to the bowl of tiger bone soup sent by my sister-in-law, I have also benefited from you, Brother Qin."
Luo Chen smiled slightly, and the spiritual power of the fifth level of Qi Refining was faintly fluctuating.
Just now, his cultivation progress bar exceeded 100, and he went from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the fifth level of Qi Refining.
And what he said was not false.
In the past two days, he took a total of three Qi-nourishing Pills and improved by three points.
By running Changchun Kung, my spiritual power increased a lot.
What finally caused a qualitative change was the small bowl of tiger bone soup.
In addition to strengthening the Qi and blood, it also contains a lot of spiritual energy.
After two days of refining, it was finally complete!
Qin Liangchen slapped Luo Chen on the shoulder and laughed and said: "Okay! Okay! Your improvement in realm is a great joy. It just makes me happy. I will defeat my opponent today!"
