When Xiao Yaer received the message from the distinguished guest Mr. Ge, she was hiding in her room and "partying".
She secretly found a few bottles of plum wine, and asked her senior brother who came back from the mountain to bring her a lot of snacks. She asked for leave from the senior sister and lay on the bed as lazily as a cat.
While putting snacks into his mouth, he took a few sips of the fairy wine.
Enjoying the simple joy of slacking off while getting paid.
As an inner sect disciple of Tongtianfang, she has to follow her master and fellow senior brothers and sisters to handle the circulation and recycling of immortal money from various places in the sect for twenty days every month.
At the same time, he supervised the production of new immortal coins for circulation.
Tongtianfang does not care about or recycle the immortal coins with ten-degree spiritual energy. Even if the spiritual energy in the immortal coins is drained away, the cultivators can regain their value by replenishing it themselves.
However, when the large amounts of immortal money from Baidu and Qiandu are circulated in the cultivation world, they must be recycled at all times.
This is because these large amounts of immortal coins are made of expensive materials and are made using secret methods. Even though Tongtianfang is a wealthy and powerful company with the support of the Immortal Alliance behind it, it cannot withstand the wasteful consumption.
The main content of the daily work of the disciples of Tongtianfang is statistics and reconciliation.
They will use the thirty-three sects of the Immortal Alliance located throughout the world as recycling points.
When the amount of discarded large-denomination immortal coins reaches a certain level, Tongtianfang will send disciples to take those exquisite copper plates back to Baoping Mountain and give them value again.
From this point of view, the economic activities of the monastic world are actually quite primitive.
It's also quite fragile.
However, with the powerful organization of the Immortal Alliance backing up the Immortal Money, there have not been any major disturbances in the past five hundred years.
"Ah, the Mirage Pearl."
The drunk Xiao Yaer took out the communication stone and heard the request from the distinguished guest Mr. Ge. She shook her head to make herself more sober.
explain:
"I think I have it. I'll help you find it later... Hiccup, but we don't accept or sell Star Array Disks."
"Um?"
Jiang Xia snorted in confusion and said:
"Why is that? You guys even dare to accept stolen goods, so why don't Xingzhen get involved?"
"Are you a monk or not? You don't even know this."
Xiao Yaer was drunk at this time, and her self-control was reduced, so she answered impatiently:
"All matters related to the star array are under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Academy, and we are not allowed to interfere. Apart from the star array, we have everything you want."
"All right."
Jiang Xia was not worried about it. The star array was something that could only be encountered by chance, and he now had two secret worlds in his hands, which had not been fully explored yet.
Things with the Black Hand and Helford Manor are still progressing.
I also have to prepare for practicing in Mo Shuang Mountain. Now that I have to add another star array, I probably won’t be able to devote more energy to manage it.
He wanted to hang up the call, but when he heard that Xiaoya seemed drunk, he joked:
"Did something happy happen to you? Why are you still drunk?"
"Happy things, yes, there are."
Xiao Yaer smiled innocently, reached out her hand from the bedside, and took out a pendant of a flying wild goose. She looked at it with a dazed look in her eyes, with an unconcealable smile on her lips.
She said:
"Thanks to you, I am also... hiccup, uh, I can't tell you, but it's a good thing. I won't talk to you anymore, I feel a little dizzy, I need to sleep for a while.
Just sleep for a while.
Then I'll go find you a mirage pearl.
There should be a few more in the Master Sister's treasure house... but you have to prepare the money, because those things are very expensive."
As he was talking, a faint snoring sound came from the communication stone.
This made Jiang Xia burst into laughter, but he didn't have the bad intention to disturb Xiaoya's rest after drinking, so he ended the message and stood up in the small hall again.
He picked up the watermelon juice on the table, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the illusion, and looked down.
Hundreds of local monks were gathering in the hall on the first floor. Wang Liufu and Ma Tishu were standing on the big booth, talking to the monks happily.
Wang Liufu was willing to come here and show up.
This means that Mo Shuangshan doesn't mind Jiangxia holding a market in their name.
Jasmine was also counting today's sales. Although the day had just begun, a lot of things had already been sold. The small auction of three Foundation Establishment Pills and the Life-Restoring Medicine was about to begin.
“The purchasing power of local monks is not bad. Although it is a bit shabby, they have the desire to buy. If there is demand, there is motivation to work and make money.
You can only spend if you have money.”
Lao Jiang lowered his head and took a sip of the cold watermelon juice. He whispered:
"Once resources are integrated and the market is cultivated, there is great potential here. It seems that things like bounty lists and task notice boards should also be put on the agenda.
We can't just let them sit idle like this.
What a great human resource.”
"Bang"
The door to the small living room behind him was pushed open.
The third prince Shi Rui walked in with a contented smile, stroking the ring in his hand. He sat comfortably on the sofa and jumped up and down twice.
Then he said to Jiang Xia:
"Junior brother, you have done a great job in running this market!
It's been less than an hour and all the magic weapons that my senior sisters asked me to sell have been sold out. It's a good harvest. Now I can give an explanation to them when I go back.
Oh, by the way, there's something I didn't tell you before.
When I left the mountain gate, Senior Brother Chu also gave me a few magical instruments, which I sold at high prices. "
"Chu Qiao?"
Jiang Xia turned around in astonishment, looking at Shi Rui who looked relieved, he said:
“He is not…
This person is really weird. He clearly has a grudge against me, but he reminded me to run away quickly. He also clearly knows that you and I have a friendship, but he is still willing to give the magic weapon to you to save face for me.
This makes me a little unsure of how to evaluate him. "
"Oh, Junior Brother, I can understand that you have a problem with Senior Brother Chu, but Senior Brother Chu is definitely not a bad person."
Shi Rui stroked the ring and said:
“In our sect, Senior Brother Chu is a well-known warm-hearted person. Although he is a genius, he never takes advantage of his talent to get ahead of others. As long as his fellow disciples need help, he will definitely help if he can.
He is very popular in the sect. Even my master admires Brother Chu's character and gave him some of his own artifact drawings.
He never puts on airs towards a ‘waste’ like me.”
At this point, Shi Rui raised his head and said to Jiang Xia:
“As for this assistance, Senior Brother Chu made it very clear when he gave me the magic weapon. He said that there was a grudge between him and you, and that was a personal grudge between you two.
But this market was held in the name of the Mo Shuang Mountain Sect.
As a disciple of the sect, he naturally had to lend his all.
He also asked me to tell you not to use the sect's name to do evil things. If he finds out that you are using public resources for personal gain, he will come to you to argue with you."
"have a finger in the pie!"
Jiang Xia snorted coldly and drank a sip of watermelon juice, but did not complain anymore. Instead, he said to Shi Rui:
“From now on, Elder Wang will be in charge of selling magic tools in our market.
But he doesn't have a good relationship with Elder Liu Chu's disciples. Why not, you, senior brother, contact them and collect the magical instruments that are not used in daily life.
It's all business anyway.
I don't want their money, I just want to keep the scene. Also, why do you call Chu Qiao "senior brother"?
In terms of seniority.
He should call you 'Uncle Master'!"
"Oh, let's not dwell on this. You want a cultivator in the Realm of Existence to call me a mortal uncle. Even if Senior Brother Chu is willing, I can't bear it."
Shi Rui waved his hand and replied somewhat awkwardly.
He was about to get up and leave when he was stopped by Jiang Xia. Old Jiang took out a bag of ashes from his ring and threw it on the table in front of the third prince.
He said:
"I also want to thank you, Brother, for running around for the market these days. I don't have anything good to thank you for. Brother, please burn this before you return to the mountain.
Since you don't want to practice, and you have the magic weapon given by your master to protect you, I will not give you any offensive means. This is what I have carefully selected for you, which can enable you to obtain the magical power of the Five Elements Defense.
If you use it, the power of Five Elements spells below the power of the True Realm will be reduced by about one third when they hit you. It is best to use it with your protective magic weapon."
"Amulet of protection?"
Shi Rui's eyes widened. He didn't think Jiang Xia was lying to him. He looked at the ashes again and said hesitantly:
"You should keep this kind of good stuff for when you get in, and present it to your master, just to make a good impression."
"Don't worry. I understand the ways of the world. I've kept the shares for Master and Senior Sisters."
Jiang Xia waved his hand and said:
"This is yours, use it here, so you don't have to worry about it later."
The third prince was not polite.
He sat back on the sofa and, under Jiang Xia's guidance, poured the ashes into the brazier. As the red flames rose, Shi Rui rolled up his sleeves and asked again:
"Junior brother, this market has become very popular, and you have already entered the Qi training stage. Why don't you follow me back to the mountain now?"
"I still have some unfinished business."
Jiang Xia declined politely:
"Brother, you go back first. Two months later, I will definitely attend the sect's talent selection ceremony. Since I want to practice in the inner sect, I have to do it in a legitimate way, right?
Even though I have been internally selected for the position, I still have to go through the formalities.
We should learn from others at the talent selection ceremony to avoid being accused of being undisciplined in Mo Shuang Mountain.
You can also spend more time to help me blow the whistle and say a few good words for me in front of Master and Senior Sisters, so that she won’t have any dissatisfaction when she accepts me.”
"Is there anything more important than your cultivation? Even for a monk, every minute counts. Don't waste your time on worldly affairs."
Shi Rui, in light of his status as a senior brother, acted with dignity and gave some advice.
Jiang Xia shrugged, drank the watermelon juice in his hand, turned around and said to the third prince:
"I still have some things to deal with with the Immortal Alliance Qintian Academy."
"Qintianyuan, it's okay now...hiss, it hurts! Oh, this fire hurts me so much!"
"Brother, hurry up! Come and help! Your brother is about to be burned to death!"
——
Twenty days after the Fengshan Market ended perfectly.
Jiang Xia was in the county town, being guided by Wang Liufu to stabilize his realm and at the same time familiarize himself with the various practice taboos in the Qi training realm. Before he could even start a conversation, he felt a gust of cold wind in the study.
As the two looked up, they saw a ball of black gas gathering and dispersing in the room, and then transformed into a ghost wearing armor, a helmet, and holding a sword.
This was the first time Jiang Xia saw a real ghost.
This time, Cui Chenghuang is the one who practices with incense and is not an ordinary ghost. Except that he has no body, he is no different from a monk.
But the ghost soldier in front of him was weaker, still three inches off the ground, hanging in the air, and his armor and appearance were like those of a living person.
It's just that his face was abnormally pale.
There was also a strange green aura, with green ghost fire flashing in his eyes, and a cold and evil aura surrounding him.
If it appears late at night, it will definitely scare people.
"The City God invites Monk Jiang and Monk Wang to quickly bring the thirty-seven Ascendants to the City God Temple."
The ghost soldier even politely cupped his hands and said in a sinister tone:
"The envoys from the Imperial Academy have arrived. They will disperse the memories of those who have ascended and help them become living beings in the Bitter Wood Realm."
Jiang Xia and Wang Liufu looked at each other.
He immediately stood up, straightened his black robe, took out a few immortal coins from his sleeve, handed them to the ghost soldier who had sent the message, and said:
"Thank you for taking the trouble to come here. This little money can be used to buy tea for the brothers in the City God Temple."
The ghost soldier chuckled, took the money very skillfully, and then reminded:
"The high-ranking official of the Imperial Academy is very busy, so Brother Jiang should gather everyone together immediately and don't delay any further. If you neglect him, it will be disastrous."
"Um."
Jiang Xia nodded, called everyone over through the chip communication, and asked Wang Liufu to prepare the earth plate in front of the house. He quietly took out the parchment that he had kept close to him.
Put it in front of you and take a look.
Last night he had asked Mr. Crow, who was wandering in some unknown world.
The latter's answer to him was very simple, just two words.
"rest assured."
"Well, this is the last level."
Jiang Xia was in the house, looking out the window. The sun was shining all over the earth. Rogge and the others had already gathered at the door. He put away the parchment, rubbed his chest, and whispered:
"As long as I pass this test at the Imperial Academy, the troubles that Master Bao left me will completely vanish. Although the mortal world is good, I still have to embark on the journey of cultivation, seek immortality, and seek longevity.
At the very least I can live another 500 years... Oh, it’s so exciting just thinking about it, I can’t wait.
So, the next goal.
Moshuang Mountain."
