Chapter 188: Dao Imparting Hall (1)

Other than the realm of the Sword Dao and secret techniques.

Other than that, the only things that could greatly increase his strength were all sorts of external items.

The external objects here mainly referred to various magic tools.

For example, high-grade flying swords, defensive ling armor, auxiliary magic tools, and so on.

A high-grade flying sword. He had a third-grade superior-grade flying sword, the Rainbow Sword, gifted by the Yang Family Patriarch, Yang Linyuan.

The defensive ling armor was slightly lacking, but he still had a level two superior-grade natal ling armor that he had tailored for himself.

That’s right.

The second-grade spiritual armor inheritance of the Chen family was also exchanged for by the Qianyuan Sword Sect.

This grade two ling armor inheritance cost the Chen family a total of 100,000 contribution points, which was almost equivalent to one-fifth of the price of this Nine Ruins Exquisite Pagoda.

Although the Chen family had accumulated a million contribution points in the past three years.

However, he had spent more than 600,000 contribution points to exchange for these two items. It could be seen that the more precious the treasure, the more exaggerated the cost.

However, this cost was too much for the Chen family.

It was nothing at all.

During the battle between the Eastern Defense Region and the zombies of Lianhu Island.

What the Chen family earned was not only battle credits, but also a huge amount of spirit stones. This was because the Chen family had always used the method of paying 50 – 50 for battle credits and spirit stones for their pills and magical artifacts.

In other words, the Chen family had earned more than 100 million spiritual stones in this military trade.

Most of the money was earned from pills.

Based on the profit rate of the pills, the Chen family’s net profit was about 70 million spirit stones, and this was only the profit from the military supplies trade.

Other than that.

There was also the profits of the Chen family’s industries in Guang ‘an City and Ling Zhou City, as well as the increasingly popular Seaview Immortal City.

Especially Seaview Immortal City.

In the past three years, due to Chen Daoxuan’s low tax support for the merchants and freelance martial artists in the Seaview Immortal City, the Changping Central Bank had also implemented loan support policies for various families and freelance martial artists with potential.

This caused the business of the Seaview Immortal City to become increasingly active.

More and more families came to the Seaview Immortal City to manage their own businesses.

This attracted a large number of rogue cultivators.

Three years ago, according to the Western Defense Region Coalition Army’s rough statistics, there were about 300,000 cultivators gathered in the entire Western Defense Region.

Three years later, this number had doubled, reaching more than 600,000.

Although not all of these 600,000 cultivators were gathered in the Seaview Immortal City.

However, the number of cultivators in Guanhai Immortal City had also exceeded 200,000, which was almost comparable to one-third of Guang ‘an City.

The profits generated from this immortal city was the true treasure bowl of the Chen family.

Of course.

Although the Chen family had made a lot of profits in the past three years, their expenses were also high.

These three years.

The Chen family didn’t spend all the spirit stones they earned. Instead, they stored most of the spirit stones in the bank as reserves and continued to print spirit stone coins to invest in the market of Guanhai Immortal City.

For example, the construction of the Seaview Immortal City.

Due to the lack of spirit stones, after spending 50 million spirit stones, the completed area of the entire Seaview Immortal City only accounted for one-tenth of the total area.

Now that they had enough spirit stones, the Chen family would definitely continue to invest in the construction of this immortal city.

Chen Daichuan had always remembered Chen Daoxuan’s orders.

He stored one spirit stone and printed out one spirit stone coin.

He would definitely not issue more than one yuan.

The people of this world might not understand this lesson, but Chen Daoxuan, who was familiar with the history of his previous life, knew it very well.

The Jiaozi of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Baochao of the Ming Dynasty all failed without exception.

The root cause of their failure was the influence of the imperial power.

To put it simply, the world was mine. I could do whatever 1 wanted. I completely ignored the laws of the market and issued money indiscriminately, causing the currency to depreciate crazily. In the end, no one was willing to use it.

Money itself had no value. The value of money lay in commodities.

Let me give you a simple example.

If they produced one catty of grain and printed one yuan, that one yuan could buy one catty of grain.

If it was printed for five yuan, then five yuan would be enough to buy a catty of grain.

If you printed out 10,000 yuan, no matter how much money you had, you wouldn’t be able to buy food. Because everyone was afraid of you, it formed a market panic, and no one dared to use your currency anymore.

In reality.

With the productivity of the Seaview Immortal City, it was already able to increase the currency to a certain extent.

After all, with the continuous expansion of Shuanghu Island’s industrial area, the Chen Family would be supplying more and more pills and magic tools in the Seaview Immortal City. If there wasn’t enough currency, it would cause a shortage of funds.

It was also not a good sign for economic development.

However, Chen Daoxuan was afraid that Chen Daochuan wouldn’t be able to control this, so he didn’t dare to let him overdistribute the currency.

Even a small-scale deflation was better than a large-scale inflation that would turn spirit stone coins into waste paper.

As his cultivation and Sword Dao realm became increasingly profound.

Chen Daoxuan’s speed also doubled.

In less than half a day.

Chen Daoxuan returned to Shuanghu Island.

Looking at the clan’s newly upgraded third-grade spirit meridian, Chen Daoxuan’s heart was filled with pride.

Ten million spirit stones.

Once upon a time, it was an astronomical number to the Chen family, but to the current Chen family, it was a huge number.

Ten million spirit stones was nothing much.

When he had seen the Zhou Clan spend 500 million spirit stones on the coalition army, he had been so frightened that he had not dared to speak.

Now, it seemed that as a major clan in Guang ‘an Prefecture, it would be laughable if they could not even fork out 100 million Spiritual Stones.

If Chen Daoxuan’s Nine Ruins Exquisite Pagoda were to be auctioned, it would probably fetch a sky-high price of more than 50 million spirit stones.

This price was already comparable to that of a normal fifth-grade magic tool.

In the entire Guang ‘an Prefecture, only the Zhou Clan was so bold as to equip their descendants with such expensive magical equipment to train their clansmen.

The light descended.

Chen Daoxuan discovered that Thirteenth Uncle and the rest of the Fu generation were all waiting for him.

“You bought it?”

Chen Xianhe looked at Chen Daoxuan excitedly.

“Yes.”

Chen Daoxuan stretched out his palm, and a green pagoda shone brightly in his palm.

“Good, good, good!”

Chen Xianhe was at a loss as to what to do. He wanted to touch the pagoda, but he didn’t dare to touch it, as if he was afraid of breaking it.

Seeing this.

Chen Daoxuan personally handed the green pagoda to him and teased,””Thirteenth Uncle, hurry up and touch it. Otherwise, when I’m done with it later, I won’t be able to play with it in my hand.”

Hearing this.

Chen Xianhe immediately picked it up and touched it.

“I’ve long heard that the Zhou family has an illusion of the Great Cosmological Abyss that can train elite disciples. 1 didn’t expect that my Chen family would have the chance to obtain such a treasure today.”

Chen Xianhe was so excited that he didn’t know what to say.

In less than twenty years.

The Chen family had undergone earth-shattering changes.

From a family without a single spirit meridian, it had become a large family with two grade-3 spirit meridians, seventeen grade-2 spirit meridians, and twenty-one grade-1 spirit meridians.

From a clan with only two cultivators, the old and the young, it had now become a large clan with one cultivator of the Immortal generation, 10 cultivators of the Dao generation, and 617 cultivators of the Fu generation.

Not to mention that the Chen family controlled an immortal city and even issued their own currency in this immortal city.

In this aspect, the Zhou and Yang families had failed.

Of course, they probably didn’t think of it, or perhaps they felt that doing so would be too much of an obstacle.

However, no matter what, among the three immortal cities in the territory of Guangan Prefecture, only the Guanhai Immortal City used spirit stone coins, a unique paper currency.

Moreover, due to the good reputation of the Chen family, the cultivators who were stationed in the Seaview Immortal City did not reject the use of this kind of paper money.

There were even some cultivators from small families and sects who voluntarily deposited their spirit stones into the Changping Central Bank to exchange for spirit stone coins.

This was undoubtedly a good sign for the currency issued by the Chen family.

All these years.

Looking at the changes in the family.

Chen Xianhe felt that he couldn’t give Chen Daoxuan any pointers.

Although he had been the clan leader of the Chen clan for decades, it was still a small clan that was on the verge of collapse with only a few thousand people including the mortal population.

How could it compare to the Chen family’s current prosperity?

What Chen Xianhe was doing now was to teach the children of the Fu generation in the clan and unleash his last bit of light and passion.

Everyone was excited.

He followed behind Chen Daoxuan and watched him place the Nine Ruins Exquisite Pagoda.

He looked at the empty space in front of him that was specially vacated for the Nine Ruins Exquisite Pagoda.

Chen Daoxuan flew into the sky.

He was dragging the pagoda with his left hand, and a mysterious control spell was circulating on his right hand, as if he was activating some kind of restriction on the pagoda.

In the next moment.

The green pagoda seemed to have been activated under Chen Daoxuan’s control.

Chen Daoxuan threw it onto the empty ground.

The green pagoda expanded with the wind.

From a miniature pagoda that was less than six inches tall, it crazily expanded by a hundred times, a thousand times…

“Boom!”

Under Chen Daoxuan’s control, the green Nine Ruins Exquisite Pagoda slowly landed on the open space.

A loud sound that shook the earth and mountains was heard.

The members of the Chen Clan standing below were so shocked that they could not speak when they saw the huge pagoda that was more than a thousand feet tall.

One had to know that even in his previous life, a i,ooo-foot-tall building was a famous building.

Moreover, this was not the highest form of the Nine Ruins Exquisite Pagoda.

According to the introduction in the exchange jade slip of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.

The Nine Ruins Exquisite Pagoda could reach a height of nine hundred feet.

Of course, for the current Chen family, there was no need to make it so high. In the future, if the number of Fu or Ze generations increased, it would not be too late to make it higher.

In any case, it was just a matter of Chen Daoxuan casually controlling it.

After settling down the Nine Ruins Exquisite Pagoda, Chen Daoxuan descended and looked at the tower in front of him. He smiled and said,””Let’s go in.”

11

Good!

11

“Oh!”

The disciples of the Fu generation cheered. They knew that strictly speaking, this Nine Ruins Exquisite Pagoda was bought for them.

This group of people from the Fu generation was not simple.

Counting carefully, there were a total of fifty-four people in the Fu generation of the clan. They were all carefully selected by Chen Daoxuan from the Fu generation of the clan.

The oldest was Chen Fusheng, who was only nine years old.

The youngest was Chen Fuwang, who was only five years old this year.

However, all of them were students of the Dao Imparting Hall that Chen Daoxuan had specially set up.

The so-called Dao Imparting Hall was a school specially set up by Chen Daoxuan based on the Dao Imparting function of the Primordial Enlightenment Scripture.

For the time being, there were only three courses taught: refining weapons, alchemy, and sword dao.

These fifty-four disciples of the Fu generation were the Kendo students that

Chen Daoxuan had selected from the more than six hundred members of the Chen family.

He was also a clansman nurtured by the Chen family as a core disciple.

The conditions to enter the Dao Imparting Hall were rather harsh. Not only did they have to receive the strictest education of loyalty to the family since they were young, but they also had to make a Great Dao oath before entering to never betray the family.

Whether it was refining weapons, refining pills, or the students of the Sword Dao class, it was the same.

The Primordial Enlightenment Scripture’s imparting ability was too powerful.

Chen Daoxuan had no choice but to be careful.

However, he could not abandon such a powerful function.

He could only give the clan cultivators who accepted the Dao teachings a double insurance of thinking and swearing a Dao oath..
