Chapter 183: Testing (1)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

In the following month.

Chen Daoxuan summoned the representatives of the various families who came to the Seaview Immortal City every day, as well as the itinerant cultivators who chose to open a shop in the Seaview Immortal City, to promote spirit stone coins to them.

The Seaview Immortal City was newly built.

Although it wasn’t completed yet, there were already many businesses moving in.

Although the entire immortal city wasn’t as famous as Ling Zhou immortal city, it was still getting more and more popular.

There was no other way. Cultivators needed a lot of resources for cultivation. No cultivator could produce all kinds of resources.

This was something that even large families and sects could not avoid.

Therefore, he had no choice.

Trade was very important to any cultivation force in this realm.

The stronger the cultivation force, the more prosperous their trade activities were.

After all, only when the economy was prosperous would there be enough resources to produce more powerful cultivators.

This was very different from his previous life.

Just as Chen Daoxuan had imagined, under his influence, no family or shop owner dared to refuse to use spirit stone coins.

Of course, this method of forcefully pushing spirit stone coins.

It would definitely leave an image of the Chen family being overbearing and greedy.

But Chen Daoxuan didn’t care.

How could outsiders see the benefits of the currency after it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

Now, they were rejecting it and even had to rely on Chen Daoxuan to use his strength to pressure the other party and force them to use spirit stone coins in the Seaview Immortal City.

However, after using it for a period of time, they felt the benefits of spirit stone coins.

They would definitely feel that paper money was much better than spirit stones.

In Chen Daoxuan’s opinion.

Using spirit stones as currency was not even as good as gold and silver in ancient times.

At the very least, the amount of gold and silver used as currency was fixed and would not suddenly decrease for no reason.

However, spirit stones were different. Apart from their monetary attributes, they also had an important function-to nurture spirit veins.

Both the Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance and the Zhou family had spent a lot of spirit stones to build the spirit vein.

After consuming a large number of spirit stones, the market in Guang ‘an Prefecture was facing a shortage of spirit stones.

This shortage of spirit stones had caused the entire Guang ‘an Prefecture to run out of money.

Many times, cultivators who lacked spirit stones had to barter.

However, there was no need to elaborate on how inefficient it was to exchange items for items.

That was a backward economic phenomenon that only existed in primitive societies.

There was another important reason why Chen Daoxuan insisted on promoting the spirit stone coins. It was because the industrial production of Shuanghu Island would bring about a leap in productivity.

Once these industrial products were introduced to the market, it would inevitably further aggravate the shortage of spirit stones.

Now that the Chen family’s industrial scale was small, this phenomenon was not obvious.

If the industrial scale of Shuanghu Island was expanded by a hundred times, the entire Guang ‘an Prefecture’s spirit stones would probably be concentrated in the transactions between the Chen family and the outside world, and it would not be enough.

At that time, Shuanghu Island’s industrial development would be greatly hindered.

If the development of industry depended on trade, then currency was the medium of trade. However, if this medium was not strong enough, industrial development would inevitably be hindered.

To outsiders, Chen Daoxuan’s actions might seem like a rash move, but in reality, he was clearing the obstacles for Shuanghu Island’s industrialization ahead of time.

A month later.

In the main hall of the Western Defense Zone Alliance Army Headquarters.

The ten commanders of ten thousand soldiers sat together with Chen Daoxuan in the hall.

After a long time.

Wei Lidao of the Wei Clan was the first to stand up. He cupped his hands and said,”” Commander, tomorrow is the day to pay the salaries of the allied Army in the Western Defense Region. However, the spirit stones in my army seem to be  ”

Wei Lidao felt the faint pressure on Chen Daoxuan’s body, but he didn’t dare to say the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

“Yes.”

Chen Daoxuan raised his eyes slightly and smiled,””Since tomorrow is the day of the army’s pay, there are some things that I have to say.

Everyone knows that although our western defense zone has 80 million spirit stones for military expenses, this amount of military expenses may seem a lot, but if you look closely, it’s not much.

They bought magic tools for the soldiers, cultivated spirit veins, built immortal cities, and paid the soldiers.

As a result, the military expenditure was already tight, but even in this kind of situation, there were still people who dared to covet the military expenditure.”

Chen Daoxuan’s voice became louder.

“Do you think our Western Defense Region Alliance Army, from the commander to the soldiers, can tolerate such a phenomenon?”

Hearing this.

Everyone was silent.

But everyone knew that since Chen Daoxuan said this, he was definitely going to make an example out of them.

Ray Zhen suddenly stood up and said loudly,”All the soldiers in the western defense region are working hard to build the immortal city and patrol the entire western defense region. Not only can we not sleep at night, but we even delay our own cultivation.

Even so, our Western Defense Zone still has such scum. Who can tolerate it?”

“Yes! General Lei is right!”

“I can’t tolerate it. This wind must not rise!”

“Yes…”

Zhou Mucheng did not say a word when he saw the crowd’s agreement. Wei Lidao’s heart was pounding.

“Xia Hong, come out!”

Chen Daoxuan’s voice exploded in the ears of a soldier who was a rogue cultivator.

Hearing this.

The expression of this mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator called Xia I long became extremely ugly.

He braced himself and stood up. He cupped his hands and said,”Commander, what are your orders?”

“What are your orders?”

Chen Daoxuan sneered.” Do you still want me to criticize you in public for what you’ve done?”

Hearing these words, Xia Hong’s expression changed again.

His hands trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with hatred. He said in a trembling voice,”I hope that Lord Commander can explain.”

“According to the military law of the allied army, how should we convict those who embezzled military funds?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mucheng, who held the position of Commander of Ten Thousand Soldiers and Military Governor, stood up and cupped his hands.”According to the laws of the alliance army, those who embezzled military funds will be punished according to the amount of money embezzled.

Those who embezzled less than 100,000 spirit stones were dismissed from their military posts and sentenced to flogging and branding.

Those who embezzled more than 100,000 spirit stones were dismissed from their military posts and sentenced to the punishment of nailing them to the bone.

Those who embezzled more than one million spirit stones were sentenced to death.”

Everyone listened.

Chen Daoxuan waved his hand and transmitted his voice to the outside of the hall,””Bring it in!”

In the next moment.

A group of soldiers carried fifteen boxes that were as tall as a person’s shoulder and slowly walked into the hall.

“Commander, these are the spirit stones found in General Xia’s spiritual residence.”

Hearing this.

Chen Daoxuan nodded and said indifferently,”! understand. You can leave now.””

“Yes, Lord Commander!”

After watching the soldiers leave, Chen Daoxuan walked to the first box and waved his hand. The box suddenly opened.

It was filled to the brim with spirit stones.

“General Xia, what else do you have to say?”

“Framed, it must be framed.”

When Xia Hong saw this scene, his eyes turned red, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour,” It must be you. It was you who saw that recruiting me failed, so you used such dirty methods to frame me.”

“Heh,”

Chen Daoxuan sneered.” You’re just a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. What right do you have for a sword cultivator like me to personally recruit you?

You said that I framed you, but do you dare to swear an oath to the Great Dao?”

Xia Hong’s expression changed again, his heart beating like thunder, but the resentment on his face became even stronger, he refused to swear, as if he had suffered a great humiliation.

Seeing this, Chen Daoxuan looked at Zhou Mucheng and said,””Overseer Zhou, what crime is slandering Shangguan in the alliance army?”

“Dismissal and investigation.”

Zhou Mucheng cherished his words like gold.

Chen Daoxuan nodded and casually picked up a spirit stone from the box.’Tsk tsk, this box of spirit stones is probably more than 100,000 spirit stones. 15 boxes of spirit stones, General Xia has a big appetite.”

Xia Hong’s face was ashen, and at the same time, his eyes faintly revealed a trace of despair.

Fifteen boxes of spirit stones, that would be more than a million spirit stones.

Executed!

He already had a guilty conscience in his heart, and when he thought of this crime, Xia Hong finally made up his mind. He said with grief and indignation on his face,”It’s you, it’s all you! You framed me! I’m not guilty, I’m not guilty!”

Xia Hong’s face flushed red, and he looked like a mad demon.” Chen Daoxuan! I’ll fight it out with you!”

After saying that.

He immediately slapped the storage pouch at his waist and a flying sword flew toward Chen Daoxuan’s face.

This sword light was as fast as lightning in the eyes of outsiders, but in Chen Daoxuan’s eyes, it was extremely clumsy.

He stretched out a finger and gently flicked it forward, knocking on the tip of the flying sword.

The next moment, the flying sword let out a faint cry and flew back rapidly.

“Overseer Zhou, what crime is it to attack a senior officer?”

“Death penalty!”

Zhou Mucheng’s words revealed a hint of killing intent.

When everyone saw this scene, they were clear in their hearts that Xia Hong was dead for sure!

“This fool…”

Wei Lidao sighed inwardly.

Sword light incarnation!

Chen Daoxuan stepped forward and pointed his sword finger at Xia Hong’s Dantian Sea of Qi, crushing it.

“Puff!”

Xia Hong spat out a mouthful of blood. Immediately after, his body went limp and fell down.

With his dantian and sea of qi destroyed, Xia Hong was completely crippled.

When the crowd saw Chen Daoxuan’s ruthless actions, even the seven rogue cultivators who had sworn their loyalty to the Chen Clan felt a chill in their hearts.

But at the same time, he was also very glad.

Fortunately, they had agreed to be recruited by Chen Daoxuan. Otherwise, they would be the ones lying on the ground and crippled.

Xia Hong struggled and wanted to stand up, but he was trembling and unable to get up.

Chen Daoxuan walked to the remaining 14 boxes and opened them one by one.

The remaining 14 boxes only contained one spirit stone each.

Chen Daoxuan lowered his head and looked at Xia Hong who couldn’t get up. He sighed and said,””General Xia, you’re just embezzling a few hundred thousand spiritual stones. You don’t deserve death.”

Then, he shook his head and said,”These kids. They’re using a box to store a spirit stone. Aren’t they scaring us?” It’s really…”

Hearing this.

Xia Hong was so angry that his vision turned black and he directly fainted.

He didn’t even look at Xia Hong who was lying on the ground.

Chen Daoxuan walked back to the seat of honor and raised his head to look at Wei Li.””What were you saying?”

“Reporting…Commander, this subordinate just said…The matter of salary.”

“Oh, right, pay the army!”

Chen Daoxuan clapped his hands.” Look at my memory. Please don’t mind.

“I don’t mind, 1 don’t mind.”

Lord Commander is busy with many things, so it’s normal for you to forget.”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Zhou Mucheng looked at the young man sitting at the head of the table. He simply couldn’t compare him to the young cultivator who had to rely on himself to intimidate the other families in Guang ‘an Prefecture’s Wandering Cultivator Market a few years ago.

The Chen family had really risen!

This was the only thought left in Zhou Mucheng’s mind.

Chen Daoxuan gently pressed down with his hand, and the hall returned to silence.

“I believe everyone has heard some rumors recently.”

Chen Daoxuan paused,” I plan to use a new type of paper money to replace spirit stones in the Seaview Immortal City for trading purposes..”
