Family Cultivation: I Can Store My Ability To Understand

Chapter 180: Subduing (1)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

“Young Clan Leader, please take a look.”

As if presenting a treasure, Chen Daochu took out a note that was very similar to the one in his previous life.

However, upon closer inspection.

This note was very different from the notes in his previous life.

Firstly, the material was different.

Chen Daoxuan took the paper money from Chen Daochu and flicked it gently with his hand, making a swishing sound.

“This is…Paper?”

Chen Daoxuan looked at him in surprise.

“Yes, but not entirely.”

Chen Daochu paused.” To be precise, this is a special talisman paper that we developed.”

Of course, Chen Daoxuan knew what talisman paper was.

The so-called talisman paper was used to grind the roots of the spiritual plants into pulp, and finally, the pulp was dehydrated. After a series of processes, it was made into the appearance of paper.

Compared to the paper made by mortals, the raw material of talisman paper was changed from trees to spiritual plants.

As for the rest of the processes, there was not much difference between the two.

However, due to the changes in the raw material, the talisman paper was abnormally tough and far from being as fragile as ordinary paper.

Chen Daoxuan took the talisman from Chen Daochu and used his hand to exert some force. Surprisingly, it did not shatter.

Seeing this.

Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but smile,””Interesting.

However, this is far from what 1 want.”

Of course not.”

Chen Daochu smiled mysteriously. He then took out a very strange magic tool and said,””This is the key magic tool to examine this kind of paper money.”

“This is…”

He looked at the square-shaped magic tool that Chen Daochu handed over. At the bottom of the magic tool, there was a glass-like stage.

Chen Daochu reached out his hand and said,”Young Clan Leader, please lend me some notes.””

Hearing this.

Chen Daoxuan handed over the notes in his hand.

Chen Daochu placed the notes on the glass table.

In the next second.

A strange lotus flower pattern appeared on the note.

“This…”

Chen Daoxuan looked at the scene in front of him and felt that it was very magical.

At this moment, he did not sense any fluctuation of spiritual energy or true energy, but a lotus-shaped pattern appeared on the paper note, and it flickered with a faint light.

It was just like the fluorescent light emitted by the banknotes in his previous life.

Chen Daochu then took the note away from the square magic tool and immediately returned to its original appearance.

Seeing this, Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but be curious.””How did you do it?”

“Materials and formation patterns.”

Chen Daochu stretched out two fingers and pointed at a seven or eight-year-old youth in the crowd.””It was him who discovered this material.”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan looked at a rather silent seven or eight-year-old child in the crowd. He carefully recalled and said,”Your name is Chen Fulai, right?”

“Yes.”

Chen Fulai nodded.

After all, Chen Daoxuan had taught the first batch of cultivators of the Fu generation.

With a cultivator’s memory, it was not strange for him to recognize Chen Fu.

“How did you find this material?”

Chen Daoxuan asked.

“When 1 was studying the talisman making inheritance in my family, I accidentally discovered the ratio of this new type of talisman paper. However, after 1 made this talisman paper, I couldn’t make it into a talisman at all, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.

Later on, I was selected by Teacher Daochu to enter the Changping Magical Equipment Research Institute. We studied the new paper currency that you proposed together, but we couldn’t find a suitable paper.

So 1 suggested this new type of talisman paper that I accidentally discovered. 1 wanted to give it a try, and it actually succeeded.”

Chen Daochu, who was standing at the side, sighed with emotion.””Speaking of which, we are lucky. Although this kind of talisman paper can’t be used to make spirit talismans, it can be used to inscribe an extremely special array pattern.

After the formation patterns are fused with the talisman paper, it will emit a lotus-shaped fluorescent light after being tested by this money detector that we developed, just like what you saw just now, young clan leader.”

“You mean…There was an array pattern on this talisman? Then isn’t it a magic tool?”

Chen Daoxuan frowned at all the notes he needed, which were all kinds of easy to make, but had high enough anti-counterfeit threshold currency.

The threshold for this type of anti-counterfeit was high enough, but it was not easy to make.

The array patterns on the note meant that it was a magic tool.

Without a specific refining method, who could imitate it?

“Young clan leader, listen to me. Although this paper note is a special magic tool, due to the simple formation patterns, as long as a Qi Condensation cultivator is familiar with it, they can instantly inscribe it.”

“Yes!”

“Yes, it’s very simple.”

Listening to everyone’s agreement.

Chen Daoxuan said noncommittally, “How simple?’

mi

Hearing this.

Chen Daochu hurriedly handed over a jade slip.

Chen Daoxuan took the jade and sent his divine sense into it.

In the next second.

With a strange expression, he pulled out his divine sense from the jade slip.

This formation pattern…lt was indeed simple enough. If Chen Daochu had not mentioned that it was an array pattern, he would have suspected that there was such a simple array in the world.

However, no matter how simple the formation pattern was, once it was fused into a weapon, no matter how high the cultivator’s cultivation was, they would not be able to see what the formation pattern looked like.

Otherwise, wouldn’t the clan cultivators be able to reverse engineer the refining method of high-grade ling armor by purchasing it?

This was obviously impossible.

“With the speed of twelve people in our research institute, we can make about a hundred of these semi-finished notes into finished products in ten minutes.”

He could refine a hundred pieces in the time it took to brew a cup of tea.

If he were to refine it for 10 hours a day, that would be 6,000 notes. With the face value of 100 spirit stones per note, that would be 600,000 spirit stones.

That was 18 million spirit stones a month.

If they had more manpower, this speed would be even faster.

With the current circulation demand of the Seaview Immortal City, it would require about 30 million spirit stone coins, which was enough to maintain the normal operation of the entire Seaview Immortal City.

Of course.

The face value of the spirit stone coins couldn’t only be one hundred.

In fact, Chen Daoxuan had divided the spirit stone coins into thirteen different values based on his previous life’s experience.

There were 13 types: 1 point, 2 points, 5 points, 1 jiao, 2 jiao, 5 jiao, 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, 50 yuan, and 100 yuan.

Perhaps some people would be puzzled.

One cent, which was one hundredth of a spirit stone coin, could be used to buy things?

In reality.

The purchasing power of spirit stones was very strong.

The reason why he felt that spirit stones couldn’t be spent was because the things that Chen Daoxuan usually bought were very precious treasures to cultivators.

If he used spirit stones to buy large quantities of materials used by ordinary people, one spirit stone could buy a lot of things.

Back then.

He only spent one spirit stone to buy a young and beautiful female slave from the Yun Nation.

One spirit stone would cost an unknown amount to buy the food that ordinary people ate.

Therefore, there was no problem in using the lowest unit to calculate the face value of the spirit stones.

This was because even if they were itinerant cultivators, they would have many servants working for them. These ordinary people needed to consume resources to eat, drink, and pee.

If these resources were to be traded in large quantities, they would be bought with spirit stones.

Perhaps small transactions between mortals would be settled using gold, silver, copper, and other currencies, but large transactions between cultivators would not agree with these three metal currencies.

In order to feed their tens of millions of people, the Zhou Clan had always relied on the food produced by the slaves driven by the freelance cultivators of Guang ‘an Prefecture.

The currency used to purchase these grains was spirit stones.

It was impossible for the itinerant cultivators to order yellow and white things and plant food for the Zhou family for no reason.

Gold, silver, and copper were metals used by mortals, but they were useless to cultivators.

Therefore, he had no choice.

If he were to mass produce these 13 types of currency, the time required might be multiplied by several times.

However, Chen Daoxuan couldn’t wait any longer. He had to send more people.

At the end of this month, he would start implementing his currency replacement plan.

Anyone who knew economics knew.

The development of currency was also divided into stages.

From a geographical point of view.

The currency could be divided into pilot, regional, and finally universal.

From the point of view of the international process, it could be divided into four stages. The first stage was the implementation of free convertibility under the current account.

In Chen Daoxuan’s previous life, the yuan had just completed this stage.

Simply put, in the future, spirit stone coins would be freely exchanged among the various major factions in Guang ‘an Prefecture.

This was the first step in the currency process.

If one day, the spirit stone coins issued by Chen Daoxuan completely replaced the spirit stones and became the only currency in this world.

It also meant that he had unified everything in the cultivation world.

Whether it was the economy, the military, or the culture, they had all been unified to achieve this effect.

Now, what Chen Daoxuan wanted to do was the simplest trial of currency for any sovereign government.

That was to use spirit stone coins in the Guanhai Immortal City.

He wanted to do this.

Accepted items, currency security, military security, the cooperation of the various families in Guang ‘an Prefecture’s Immortal City, and the alliance army in the western defense zone were all indispensable!

Now it seemed that…

Chen Daoxuan had already solved two problems.

Accepted goods and currency protection.

Next.

He also wanted the various families of Guang ‘an Prefecture to cooperate with him in implementing this plan.

However, before that, he had to completely subdue the Western Defense Alliance Army and turn this alliance army into his private army to a certain extent.

Actually…

Chen Daoxuan had already planned this when he first established the Western Defense Alliance.

Because as long as one was observant, they would discover it.

There were very few clan cultivators in the upper echelons of the Western Defense Region.

Chen Daoxuan’s direct subordinates had a total of 10 Battalion Commanders.

Among them, there were only two clan cultivators, Zhou Mucheng of the Zhou Clan and Wei Lidao of the Wei Clan.

The rest of them were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The reason why so many freelance martial artists were chosen to be the ten thousand soldiers of the western defense region alliance army.

It was Chen Daoxuan who wanted to completely subdue this army and turn it into a private army of his Chen family.

Although Chen Daoxuan was now the commander of the Western Defense Zone Coalition Army, he relied on his own strength and potential.

It wasn’t that the Chen family was really powerful.

Everything else aside.

The Chen family’s available people were few and far between.

Other than the ten cultivators of the Dao generation, the cultivators of the Fu generation had not grown up yet and could not be released to take charge of the place.

Just as Chen Daoxuan said, for the sake of the Chen family’s rapid development, it was inevitable to use outsiders on a large scale.

However, there were also rules to using outsiders.

That was to use rogue cultivators, but not clan cultivators. To clan cultivators, the most important thing was their own clan.

In this aspect, the Qian Yuan Sword Sect and the Chen family were astonishingly similar to some extent..
