Building The Ultimate Fantasy - Chapter 284
Chapter 284: Chapter 284, changing the currency of the Cultivation World [ thanks to the alliance leader of ‘Qing Ningzi’for the reward ]
The sound of the chess piece landing on the chessboard was not loud. It was a little like a drop of water dropping into a bucket.
However, in the next moment, there was a faint rumbling sound coming from the chessboard.
It was like the sound of the Earth cracking and the sound of the mountains collapsing.
The earth was being torn apart, and there was a terrifying sound like it was collapsing.
The lines in Lu Fan’s eyes were jumping. He was very focused on setting the seeds. The situation of setting the seeds was somewhat similar to the time when Sima Qingshan was drawing.
Beiluo city.
By the Lakeside, one flower boat after another was floating and sinking.
Young Master Tianxu and his four Golden Elixir realm old women were sitting on the same flower boat. There were many fruits on the flower boat.
He pinched a jujube into his mouth and raised his head. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the White Jade Capital Pavilion that was surrounded by whirlpools.
He could not help but raise his eyebrows.
The Empress sat on the same boat as Ni Yu. She pinched a sugar-coated Qi gathering pill that Ni Yu refined and glanced at the sky. The smile in her eyes became more and more intense.
Du Longyang and ye Shoudao also sensed something. After all, at their level, their spiritual senses were still very sharp.
Of course, apart from them…
..Outside Beiluo City.
Due to the expansion of the Earth, the distance between the various places had become much greater.
The original hidden territory of the Wolong Ridge.
That was the first hidden territory that Lu fan had built.
As the foundation of the hidden territory, this place was originally under the control of the Great Zhou dynasty.
However, along with the destruction of the Great Zhou dynasty, after Great Xuan and Xiliang entered the imperial capital, Xiliang took over the jurisdiction of the hidden territory of the Wolong Ridge.
Currently, there were many Xiliang cultivators in the secret realm of the Wolong Ridge.
However, the Wolong Ridge was the first secret realm to appear, and its functions overlapped with the Dragon Gate.
Compared to the pressure brought by the monsters in the secret realm of the Wolong Ridge, the terracotta warriors in the Dragon Gate were more pressured.
Hence, cultivators were more inclined to use the Dragon Gate to cultivate and nurture their cultivation armies.
However, today.
The commander of the Xiang family army stationed at Wolong Ridge suddenly opened his eyes.
This was a commander at the peak of the Qi dan stage.
When the Earth began to rumble, this commander only felt his heart tremble.
The next moment.
The feeling of tremors disappeared.
He rushed out of the tent quickly, and some Xiliang soldiers rushed over in a panic.
“Commander! A deep pit has appeared in front.”
“It suddenly collapsed without any warning.”
The soldier shouted.
This commander frowned. He had never encountered such a situation before.
Thus, under the lead of this soldier, he quickly rushed forward.
Finally, he arrived in front of the so-called “Deep pit”.
It was a circular pit with a diameter of about three meters.
Around the large pit, gravel kept rolling down and a bottomless figure could be seen.
It was as if there was a bottomless abyss under the pit.
The commander frowned.
He found a fist-sized stone and threw it into the pit personally.
However, there was no response for a long time after the stone fell into the pit.
This made the commander’s expression become more and more solemn. He looked at the deep pit with a faint sense of fear, as if the world connected to the deep pit was very likely an unpredictable purgatory-like world.
..
Bei Luo, Lake Heart Island.
The Lake Heart Island that was floating in the air became more and more magical, as if it was covered by immortal qi.
Lu fan rolled up his sleeves and continued to place his pieces.
He laid out a strange chess game on the chessboard. Each piece actually had a mysterious connection.
The mystic realm that was constructed in the preaching platform began to appear.
The sound of Lu fan placing his pieces continued without end.
Finally, when a chess piece was placed.
The chess board’s stance suddenly changed, and it actually became a little strange.
“This game is called ‘nine prisons’.”
Lu fan smiled.
..
Boom!
On the Wolong Ridge.
The commander of the Xiang family Army suddenly felt that he couldn’t stand steadily.
However, he saw that the underground palace in the Wolong Ridge, which was deep in the ground, instantly raised a shocking amount of dust.
It was as if it was swallowed by a huge mouth.
Thick smoke and dust billowed.
After that..
A door with a green face and sharp fangs carved on the head of an evil spirit rose up from the original position of the underground palace.
The underground palace had been banned!
“Quick! Quickly send the news to the imperial capital!”
The commander of the Xiang family’s army was shocked, and he hurriedly shouted at the attendant beside him.
As for him, he quickly rushed towards the door of the evil spirit.
He saw a stone plaque that was filled with an ancient aura hanging on the door, and the words “First prison”were written on the plaque.
It was filled with a ghastly aura, as if it could affect one’s soul, causing one’s heart to be filled with terror.
Rumble!
The earthquake did not stop.
The commander looked around in a daze.
However, he discovered that the circular deep pit was spiral-shaped, and stone doors rose from the ground one after another.
It was like a snail’s shell. The Last Door was only one mile away from the pit.
After a long time, the commander finally calmed down. He looked at the nine doors.
He discovered that each door had a stone plaque that was filled with an ancient aura.
They were divided into prisons.
In order, they were divided into nine prisons.
The first prison was exactly ten miles away from the circular pit.
Then, a region was opened up one mile after another.
The ninth prison was exactly one mile away from the deep pit.
Every door was open, and the inside was pitch black. Even if the sun shone into it, it would not be able to illuminate anything.
Deep, strange..
It was as if the door to hell had been opened.
“What… What is this?”
The commander mustered up his courage and circulated the spiritual energy in his Qi Dan. He displayed his strength at the peak of the Qi Dan Realm and remained vigilant at all times.
He ran at high speed towards the ninth prison.
However, before he could get close to the ninth prison, his expression suddenly changed.
Faintly.
He seemed to have heard the sound of a chess piece being placed.
It was barely noticeable.
However, he did hear it.
Then..
In front of him, a whistling sound was heard from the bottomless pit.
Bang!
It was as if the earth had exploded.
A thick black stone pillar suddenly rushed out of the deep pit!
The moment this stone pillar appeared.
A huge wave of air and pressure charged out with the stone pillar as the center. A strong wind blew, forming an incomparable domain.
This commander was somewhat enlightened.
He remembered that when the secret realm of the Wolong Ridge had just been opened, a shocking spiritual pressure erupted outside the immortal palace. Only by obtaining the heaven and earth qi token could one break through this spiritual pressure.
And now, the situation was so similar to back then!
The closer he got to the pitch-black pillar, the more terrifying the spiritual pressure became.
Even though this commander was only a Qi dan, he still felt that something was unusual. This time, the terrifying pressure wasn’t just spiritual pressure.
There was also..
A strange power that he couldn’t explain.
Puchi!
This commander suffered an unexpected disaster.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Because he was close to the ninth hell, this door was the closest to the stone tablet.
Thus, he endured the most terrifying pressure of the rebound.
A mouthful of blood sprayed out.
This commander who was at the peak of the Qi Dan was directly sent flying ten miles away. He rolled on the ground for several meters before he managed to stabilize his body.
His eyes were filled with fear as he panted heavily.
The Xiang family’s guards rushed over and helped him up.
“Quick… quickly send a message to the king… Another… immortal realm has been opened!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the commander tilted his head.
The guard who hugged the commander felt his heart tremble. Snot and tears gushed out of his eyes as he cried out in pain.
The other guard could not stand it any longer and slapped him.
“What are you crying for? The commander has just fainted!”
“Hurry up and inform the King!”
..
Although the world had changed and the distance between Wolong Ridge and northern Luo City had become far.
However, the moment the ‘nine prisons secret realm’appeared.
Especially the moment the Dao tablet appeared, the Strange Dao intent undulations it emitted caused du Longyang and the others who were far away in northern Luo City to feel their hearts skip a beat.
“Can you feel it?”
Du Longyang sat on the flower boat and turned his head to look in the direction of Wolong Ridge.
Ye Shoudao looked at him and nodded slightly. “It’s a little similar to the strange undulations when I comprehended saber intent back then.”
The Empress was a little surprised. She pressed ni Yu’s head and rubbed it vigorously. “Brother Lu really didn’t lie to me…”
“This is… a sequence dao intent? !”
Ni Yu was a little stunned by the rubbing. Big Sister… can you be gentler?
Even young master isn’t as Rude as you!
Du Longyang, Ye Shoudao, and the others heard the Empress’s mutter and couldn’t help but look over. “Sequence Dao intent… what is it?”
The Empress’s Red Lips curled up as she leaned lazily against the flower boat. “It’s the path we’ll be taking in the future… It’s the breakthrough point for us to break through to the infant transformation realm!”
The Empress’s words were like a clap of thunder that exploded in du Longyang and the others’ears.
They had reached a bottleneck in their path, and now, the Empress actually said that she had found a breakthrough point.
“Sequence Dao intent? I’ve never heard of it before…”
“Even if he’s a bitter disciple, he doesn’t seem to be walking the path of Sequence Dao intent when he wants to break through. Instead, he’s devouring the power of the origin of Heaven.”
Tianxu Gongzi narrowed his eyes.
He glanced at the empress. “Could it be that you’re making this up?”
“A woman’s mouth, Ha… a liar’s ghost.”
The Empress’s red lips stiffened as she glanced at Tianxu Gongzi. “Tianxu Gongzi, if you have the ability, can you say it again? !”
“OH.”
Tianxu Gongzi raised the palm-sized small sword he had retrieved from the northern Luo Lake and pointed it at the empress.
However, Tianxu suddenly recalled that the empress seemed to have mentioned that Lu fan was the one who told her about the dao intent.
Hence, Tianxu smiled.
“Ha, I won’t lower myself to women’s standards.”
As he finished speaking.
The empress sneered.
The four old women behind Tianxu also looked at him from the corner of their eyes.
“I seem to understand… is the so-called dao intent the same as my saber intent?”
Ye Shoudao asked.
The empress shook her head. “Brother Lu said that your saber intent… can not be considered as a sequence dao intent.”
Ye Shoudao was stunned.
Du Longyang got up from the flower boat and planned to rush over to take a look. However, the auction was about to begin.
This made du Longyang’s heart itch a little.
However, after weighing the pros and cons, du Longyang still sat cross-legged on the flower boat and waited quietly for the auction to begin.
The auction was held at the North Luo Lake.
The guests were on the flower boats.
On the North Luo Lake, the flower boats swayed and ripples appeared on the surface of the lake.
Suddenly.
In the depths of the North Luo Lake, amidst the dense air waves.
There was the sound of crashing.
A delicate and pretty young figure sat in a wheelchair and slowly walked out from the depths of the lake.
Following the appearance of the young man.
Everyone on the flower boat stood up.
“Young Master Lu!”
“Greetings, Young Master Lu.”
Every flower boat, including Tantai Xuan and the Overlord, stood up and cupped their hands toward Lu fan.
The Empress, Du Longyang, and the others were stunned when they saw this scene. They also stood up and cupped their hands.
Lu fan was dressed in a white robe. His hair was tied up with a velvet rope and tied behind him.
He put his hand on Feng Ling’s armguard with a gentle smile on his face.
Suddenly.
Behind Lu fan, Ning Zhao’s white dress fluttered in the wind, and a bamboo basket appeared on the crook of his arm.
Lu fan looked around and smiled. “This is the first auction since the establishment of white jade capital… I don’t know if there will be such an auction in the future.”
“White Jade Capital’s goal has always been to develop cultivation, so that people can step onto the path of cultivation and let the cultivation world flourish.”
“This auction also carries this purpose.”
Lu Fan’s words resounded.
On the flower boat, everyone held their breath and listened attentively.
Even du Longyang, the empress, and the others showed great respect to Lu fan.
Master Tianxu was used to bickering and wanted to bicker..
However, when he thought of Lu Fan’s petty behavior, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Forget it, forget it. For the sake of brother Lu, I’ll be… a quiet heavenly oasis today.
“The items in this auction have medicinal pills, cultivation methods, and spirit tools. Of course… There’s also the opportunity.”
“Moreover, this auction will use the spirit stone auction method.”
Lu fan said.
“100,000 silver can be exchanged for one low-grade spirit stone.”
“Everyone, please exchange all the silver you have into Spirit Stones first.”
“Otherwise, you’ll be disqualified from the auction. In the future… the auction in the cultivation world will only accept spirit stones.”
Lu fan said.
His finger lightly tapped on the ARMGUARD with a faint smile on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The people on each of the flower boats looked at each other in dismay as they kept on talking.
On one of the flower boats, Tantai Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Today, Mo Beike didn’t come, but Mo Ju came with him.
Mo Ju waved his feather fan lightly, his gaze solemn. “Your Majesty… Young Master Lu’s actions have far-reaching implications.”
Tantai Xuan wasn’t stupid. He naturally had his own analysis. “Is Lu Pingan preparing to unify the currency of the Cultivation World?”
“If the currency of the cultivation world is no longer real gold and silver in the future, then… it will have a huge impact on the various factions. Right now, the various factions don’t have any spirit stones, so everyone is standing on the same starting line.”
Mo Ju nodded, and his feather fan fanned a little anxiously. “The change in currency will have a huge impact.”
“If these spirit stones only serve the same monetary function as real gold and silver, then that’s fine…”
“If…”
Mo Ju did not continue.
Because, in the distance, Ningzhao had already appeared on their flower boat with a bamboo basket.
Tantai Xuan had a deep memory of Ningzhao. Back then, under bei Luo City, this maidservant had single-handedly defeated his northern County Army.
“King Bei Xuan, do you want to exchange for Spirit Stones?”
Ningzhao asked.
“Yes, I want to exchange for five first.”
Tantai Xuan laughed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ningzhao took out five spirit stones from the bamboo basket. Tantai Xuan, Mo Ju, and the others did not move.
They quietly looked at the crystal clear spirit stones stacked on top of the flower boats.
On the surrounding flower boats, many people cursed inwardly. This Old Fox, Tantai Xuan, actually did not exchange for all of them in one go.
To exchange for five spiritual senses first, that was to say, Tantai Xuan had at least 500,000 taels of silver notes that could be exchanged at the bank.
However, he only exchanged for five first. The exact amount couldn’t be guessed by others.
The auction stipulated that they had to buy it with spirit stones, so they naturally couldn’t refuse.
In fact, after these people exchanged for spirit stones, they felt that the spirit stones were abundant and could absorb spiritual energy for cultivation..
These people suddenly lost their composure.
This spirit stone… was a F * cking treasure!
Lu Pan looked at almost everyone on the flower boat who had exchanged for spirit stones and smiled. “There are spirit stone veins in the world. If you are interested, you can go and find some.”
Lu Pan really randomly found a few spirit stone veins in various places in the five Phoenix Continent.
Mo Ju sensed the spiritual energy that could be absorbed in the spirit stones, and his expression became more and more complicated.
“Your Majesty… After we go back, we need to immediately organize people to start searching for the spiritual stone lode.”
“Whoever obtains the spiritual stone lode… will have the power to take the initiative in the world in the future.”
Tantai Xuan naturally understood the seriousness of the matter.
Actually, it was not just Tantai Xuan. Overlord, Tang Xiansheng, and many people from the aristocratic families were not stupid. They were very smart. Lu fan had introduced this spiritual stone, and it was obvious that he wanted to perfect the monetary system in the cultivation world.
To be honest, true gold and silver were indeed valuable, but to cultivators, they didn’t have any real meaning.
Even if they could be exchanged for resources, it would still be cumbersome and difficult.
But spirit stones were different..
This thing could be directly used for cultivation. This thing was a resource!
If they occupied an entire spirit stone lode, they might be able to pile up an army of peak qi Dan and even body constitution realm cultivators. That would be… Invincible!
The Empress, Du Longyang, and the others raised their eyebrows.
Spirit stones… they naturally had them. The cultivation world of the Tian Yuan had long promoted the currency system of spirit stones. In other words, this was an inevitable trend when cultivation reached a certain level.
The Empress and the others didn’t exchange for spirit stones because… they had quite a lot of spirit stones.
Moreover, the spirit stones in their hands weren’t just low-grade. There were medium-grade and even high-grade spirit stones.
The grade of the spiritual stones was naturally divided according to the content and purity of the spiritual Qi.
Lu fan leaned on his wheelchair and glanced at the people who were extremely surprised by the spiritual stones. He smiled.
He raised his hand.
Rumble..
The lake water split apart.
The Little Ying Dragon held a wooden plate covered with cloth and floated up from the lake with a silly look. Its wings flapped and it floated in the air.
When Lu fan looked at the Little Ying Long.
The Little Ying Long smiled.
Although he didn’t know why his father asked him to hold these wooden plates, he just had to do it.
If he didn’t do it, he would be bound by the spirit ring, which was the same as being beaten.
He, the Little Ying Long, was very smart.
Lu fan was very satisfied with the little ying long and smiled at it.
The Little Yinglong’s eyes immediately lit up. It immediately pouted and was about to splash some water.
However, as soon as it did that…
The smile on Lu Fan’s face disappeared.
The Little Yinglong panicked and swallowed the water back with a gulp. At the same time, it burped gracefully.
Lu fan held his chin with one hand and calmly looked at the people on the flower boat. With the other hand, he gently raised his finger.
The cloth on the wooden plate that Little Yinglong was holding was instantly burned to ashes by the white flames, revealing what was inside.
