Chapter 1607 The Midas Touch
True Lord Henghuo looked confused and couldn't figure out why anyone wanted gold? Gold is not a precious thing in the world of cultivation, but since this is Lan Nuo's request, Confucianism should satisfy it as much as possible. Anyway, gold is also a relatively easy resource for practitioners.
It is very easy for practitioners to obtain secular property. On the one hand, their illusions can easily affect ordinary people, and let ordinary people work for them in vain, or obtain money from ordinary people. On the other hand, even if they do not use these evil ways, their productivity is extremely strong. If they obtain wealth through production and normal methods, they can also obtain a large amount of wealth in a very short time.
Under the influence of these factors, practitioners have a large amount of secular wealth in their hands, and the currency is different when secular times change. When ordinary currencies are preserved, they may not be used after the dynasty changes. Therefore, they naturally choose gold of the value that is usually retained in each era.
As a general equivalent that is quite valuable, each sect has a large amount of gold reserves, and practitioners can easily leave the earth and go to other planets. It is even easier to obtain gold. Gold is not a particularly scarce resource in the universe. The environment on many planets is much richer than on the earth. Tons of tons of gold are reserved in the Confucian Golden Lotus world.
After learning that Lan Nuo needed a lot of gold, Confucianism almost took out its gold reserves. At the same time, they were curious about what the use of Lan Nuo needed these worldly money? Could it be some spells related to krypton gold that needed to use worldly wealth to launch these spells? However, this explanation is obviously unconvincing. The spells that can be driven by worldly wealth should be quite weak. Those spells related to krypton gold usually consume wealth in the world.
Lan Nuo did not stop these curious practitioners from observing. As he sent the gold into the special container, a faint mist began to release from the transparent container, and purple mist enveloped the gold. Then he saw that Lan Nuo and others were busy debugging various parameters.
The gold in the transparent container burst out like popcorn. The things that expanded after the explosion made them widen their eyes. They were pieces of spirit stones of very good quality, and the worst quality among them was the fourth-grade spirit stone.
This is quite exaggerated. The input and output are completely disproportionate. The gold invested is almost worthless to practitioners, while the spirit stones produced are worth a lot. If 1 kg of gold is invested, you can produce about 1,000 fourth-grade spirit stones. This output is simply outrageous. The total mass of the spirit stones produced even exceeds the total mass of the gold.
This is definitely a historic breakthrough. If gold can be exchanged for the spirit stone, the economic system of the cultivation world may usher in a collapsed baptism.
The conversion of spirit stones is decimal, which means that one kilogram of gold can be exchanged for a seventh-grade spirit stone, one hundred kilograms of gold can be exchanged for a nine-grade spirit stone, and one ton of gold is ten nine-grade spirit stone.
In the secular world, a ton of gold can indeed cause turmoil in the financial system, but for practitioners, this amount of gold is nothing at all. You can easily obtain so many by mining it with extraterrestrial resources. The ninth-grade spirit stone is something that countless practitioners can encounter but hard to find. Many fifth-grade spirit emperors may not have seen ninth-grade spirit stones.
In ancient folk legends, there are often practitioners who turn stones into gold. The spell of turning stones into gold has almost become one of the most longing for by mortals.
But the magic of gold-turning into stone in front of me is countless times more precious than that of stone-turning into gold in the eyes of practitioners. With this magic, the spirit stone will no longer become a scarce resource in the future. Seeing the large amount of gold reserved by Confucianism turned into a massive amount of spirit stones, the Confucians really want to reserve more gold. If they really want to, they can easily get a thousand times more gold in front of them.
Although Lan Nuo and others had expected it, they still showed a relief expression on their faces when they saw the scene in front of them. The experiment was successful, and the self-replication experiment of spiritual energy was successful. After self-replication, they could automatically crystallize into spirit stones. In theory, they could basically achieve the freedom of spirit stones in the future. As for why the raw material is gold? The reason is also very simple, because the raw material was set by them themselves.
After invading the spiritual energy system, they customized the raw materials they use to copy themselves.
The self-replication of spiritual energy, considering that cost control is best limited to one element, if it is distinguished by more complex compounds, the cost will be greatly improved and the replication efficiency will be reduced. At the same time, copy errors may occur in this process. Once a program error occurs, out-of-control will often affect all elements in the compound, and the result may be catastrophic.
In the periodic table of elements in nature, the relatively advanced elements are often distributed in large quantities in organisms, similar to carbon, oxygen, and sulfur. These are absolutely untouchable. If these elements are converted into spiritual energy in large quantities, the consequences are absolutely catastrophic and may cause mass extinction. Especially carbon elements, as the basic element of most organisms in the heavens and all realms, once they are withdrawn on a large scale, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
When choosing, Lannu and others naturally choose elements that almost never appear in the organisms. They choose elements that are chemically inert and will not participate in chemical reactions.
These elements themselves cannot have too much harm and are convenient for preservation, but radioactive elements are not possible. Inert gases are theoretically possible, but they are not particularly convenient to preserve. Most of them are not particularly high in the universe. Lannuo has considered helium. Helium is indeed a lot in the universe, but it involves the movement of stars. Once it is extracted on a large scale, it is likely to cause a more terrifying cosmic disaster than extinction of organisms.
After the final selection, they still chose gold. The chemical properties of gold are extremely inactive. Without actively manufacturing special isotopes, they are almost radioactive and have little to do with the operation of star planets. Although they have certain applications in the industrial field, there is not no other substitutes, not to mention that the amount used in the industrial field is not particularly large, and it is an extremely suitable raw material.
So I chose gold as the raw material for spiritual transformation in my customization, and the scene of turning gold into stone that the Confucians saw in front of me was seen.
"Now I can announce to you that my spirit stone replication plan has achieved phased results, and now it has achieved the transformation of gold into spirit stones through technical means. Compared with the value of the converted spirit stones, the energy and consumables consumed during the experiment can be almost negligible, so you can also think that this is a method of mass production of spirit stones with almost no cost."
The representatives of Lan Nuo and others announced the experimental results that took only two days to obtain in front of the Confucians.
In this short time, Senior Bai had not even had time to leave the Confucian Jinlian World to go back to retreat. Song Shuhang was counting his own gains and exchanging the treasures he wanted with Confucianism.
At this time, he was also on the list of people watching. After seeing that gold could be converted into spirit stones, Song Shuhang, who was short of money in the five elements, suddenly turned red. This was simply the technology he had always dreamed of. As an existence who could not save money at all, he simply needed such a way to make money out of nothing.
Lan Nuo pressed his hands and calmed the chaotic and noisy scene in an instant. Now he was covered with a layer of strong evil aura, which was the murder of thousands of Nine Nether evil demons, so that every word he said now was full of majesty. Even if his cultivation level was far inferior to those of these seniors around him, they could still calm down and obediently.
"Ahem, don't be so excited for now. Although the cost of this technology is minimal, the current technology can only be realized in the Confucian Golden Lotus world or in other closed small worlds, so the scale of production is still limited after all.
I borrowed the Confucian Golden Lotus World for production, which can be regarded as using Confucian resources. I can divide up 30% of the net profit in the production process as a reward for paying Confucianism, and purchase a large amount of gold by the way. As long as a fellow Taoist is willing to provide gold, I will purchase it at a high price of one fifth-grade spirit stone per kilogram."
Compared with the value of the spirit stones produced, the purchase price is extremely unscrupulous, but for the value of gold in the eyes of cultivators in the heavens and all realms, this price is already a sky-high price.
It is basically equivalent to someone who suddenly purchases potatoes for an unlimited amount for a price of 100 yuan. People who hear this news will not even think about selling it at the first time, but will think that the acquirer is crazy, or simply fooling them with fake news.
However, Lan Nuo and others have also calculated that although gold is not scarce in the universe, it is not an extremely rich resource. Compared with hydrogen and helium, it is absolutely extremely scarce.
When practitioners exploit a large number of violently, the price of gold and the cost of mining will increase. In the future, the price will basically be one kilogram of fifth-grade spirit stones. Now throwing this price is not too much loss. It can even take away most of the gold reserves in the hands of practitioners in a short time, so as not to have any clever clever stocks with him.
At this price, most of the practitioners in the cultivation world did not believe it at first, and the Jiuzhou No. 1 group even regarded this as a fun thing.
Beihe Sanren: "There seems to be a fun in the world of cultivation recently. Some people say that Confucianism is buying gold on a large scale at a price of 1 5-grade spirit stone per kilogram.
I guess there is a genius fellow who just came out of seclusion? I saw that ordinary people who trade futures and stocks in history made a lot of money and wanted to learn from them to speculate and manipulate prices. Use this kind of rumors to raise the price of gold.
All fellow Taoists in the group must be cautious and never be fooled. This high-priced acquisition may be true in the early stage, but it will definitely explode in the later stage. Gold itself does not have that high value. The people who are hoarding now are waiting for someone to take over. If no one takes over, this thunder will explode immediately. Group members must be cautious!"
Mr. Zhengxing: “…”
He didn't expect that Confucianism had just released news that it would buy gold, and such rumors spread among the casual cultivators. However, it seems reasonable to think about it carefully. Gold has always been not very valuable in the world of cultivation. The only way to make him valuable is to acquire it at a high price without limits in a large organization.
Once this rumor is hyped, the price of gold may rise. If it is well operated, it can really reap a wave in theory. It seems that some practitioners have done this kind of thing in history, but the outcome is not very good.
The world of practice is different from the secular world of ordinary people. Ordinary people in the secular world are trapped by this kind of takeover game and lose everything, they can only choose to jump off the building. However, after being forced to jump off the wall and being penniless, they will not choose to jump off the building, but will go to the victim and tell him what I mean, I will definitely die, but you don’t want to live.
In the end, the practitioner who made his fortune by means of financial means hired a large number of bodyguards, but still failed to save his life and was killed by an assassin who mixed into the bodyguards. Later, few practitioners used this trick to accumulate wealth. This method can indeed make a lot of money when encountering some practitioners who have just left the seclusion, but it is definitely the kind of money that has the life to make money that has no life.
This is also the reason why Beihe Sanren calls the price increase of gold this time a fun thing. The practitioner who came up with this method is indeed smart, but he must be an ignorant person who does not know what has happened in the world of cultivation in recent years.
The group soon started to discuss this fun, and during the discussion, someone subconsciously tweeted Henghuo Xin so tired that she wanted to retire.
True Lord Huangshan: "Fellow Daoist Henghuo, does Confucianism really have a large amount of gold acquisition?"
Instead of discussing it in the group, it is better to ask the main master directly. The True Lord of Henghuo must know whether Confucianism is really buying gold.
Henghuo is so tired that he wants to retire: "That's right, Confucianism is indeed acquiring gold. @家家家, can you tell the fellow Taoists in the group about the reasons for the acquisition of gold?"
Mr. Zhengxing: "No problem, the fellow Taoists in the group are all their own people, and insider information can be revealed. But everyone also remembers that the videos and messages I posted should not be forwarded to other groups or to others. The benefits involved in this are too huge. Even fellow Taoists may not be able to grasp them."
While speaking, Lan Nuo controlled the account of Mr. Zhengxing and uploaded a video to the Jiuzhou No. 1 group.
