“That’s right,” the shopkeeper said. “I’m not lying to you. In the world of medicinal herbs, Golden Branch Grass can’t even be considered a medicinal herb. If it weren’t for a group of people who come to buy it every year, and they want as much as they can, we would never put this grass in the shop. Even now, apart from that group of strange people, no one else would buy this grass.”
Yang Shen nodded, but an interesting idea came to mind.
Those who bought the Golden Branch Grass were undoubtedly from the Empire, just hiding their identities.
After all, in the eyes of the Human Alliance, the Empire was synonymous with evil.
Yang Shen's interesting idea is—acquisition!
That's right, I'm also here to acquire the medicinal materials for manufacturing this catalyst.
He might not dare to say anything about other things, but he was the one who created money.
Although the materials from the unidentified creature were almost used up, there weren't many of the materials from the unidentified creature obtained earlier.
However, if he really needed money urgently, Yang Shen wasn't limited to using materials from unknown organisms to create it; he could also create it out of thin air.
However, coins created with superpowers can provide him with experience, but coins created out of thin air, although having the same effect, cannot provide him with experience.
In summary, he has as much money as he wants.
However, it's still unknown whether the money here is the kind he manufactured.
So Yang Shen asked, "How much does this grass cost?"
The shop owner immediately smiled and said, "If you buy a small amount, one point will buy you 100 plants; if you buy in bulk, one point will buy you 150 plants."
After a pause, the shop owner added, "Of course, if you pay with physical currency, I can give you a 10% discount."
"Physical currency?" Yang Shen flipped his hand, producing a handful of ordinary coins. "Is this the kind?"
“Yes, yes.” The shopkeeper’s eyes lit up. Although physical currency has already spread throughout the various planes, it is rare and not everyone has it.
The reason why physical currency became famous so quickly is precisely because of its effects, which are of great help to cultivation.
Having more than a hundred mortal coins on you is practically like carrying a small spirit-gathering array with you.
High-level coins are even more valuable; they are like an inexhaustible source of cultivation resources, and they never run out.
Although the effects are not as good as real rare and precious herbs, the fact that it is not wasted is enough to make countless people envious.
Of course, it's not that they're truly immune to wear and tear. If you deliberately try to destroy them, they can still be damaged. But below the Immortal Spirit Realm, forget about it. Ordinary people really can't destroy seemingly ordinary coins.
Unless deliberately destroyed, those coins should not corrode even after millions of years.
This is because it contains not only refined gold that Yang Shen specially extracted and incorporated, but also because of the special manufacturing method that makes each particle stick together and difficult to separate.
Yang Shen's special ability is to treat particles as units. If you want to wear them down at will, that's like grinding away the particles. That's disrespecting Yang Shen's special ability.
Some wealthy players used ten times the points to buy physical currency, which led to a period where the purchasing power of physical currency was higher than that of points.
The alliance later introduced policies to suppress the matter and severely punished those who reverse-acquired physical currency, which brought the matter to an end.
Nowadays in the City of Trade, you can only use points to exchange for physical currency, but very few people use physical currency to exchange for points.
But in places unseen by the alliance, some people are still using slogans to entice people to buy goods with physical currency.
In fact, the points system had previously paralyzed physical stores across various planes. Due to the virus, the currency systems of many planes were also paralyzed, leaving only the points system to be used.
But now, the new currency created by Yang Shen has enabled physical stores to reopen.
This indirectly caused huge losses to the alliance to some extent.
Because purchasing items in the Trading City incurs taxes, this is why the Alliance restricts the transfer of points.
However, after the emergence of physical currency, many people no longer go to the trading city and trade directly outside.
Unfortunately, despite Yang Hongyan and others' extravagant spending over the past two years, treating a thousand or even ten thousand yuan as if it were only one yuan, they still failed to get the new currency into the hands of most people.
In the end, Yun Zixin came up with a solution, leading everyone to the Trading City to make a large-scale purchase, which allowed the physical currency to flow into the hands of various forces across the heavens and the earth.
Because of the shops in the Trading City, all the major powers in the various planes of existence receive a share.
It can be said that Yun Zixin deserves much credit for making all the worlds aware of the existence of physical currency. After all, she was once a princess of a world empire, so she has a good perspective.
Although Yang Shen was not fully aware of these things, he knew a thing or two from the information he received from the protective measures he had left on Yun Zixin and the others.
Instead of directly proposing to buy them, Yang Shen waved his hand, conjuring up illusory images of hundreds of plants, and asked, "Do you recognize all of these plants?"
Seeing this, the shopkeeper pondered for a long time before saying, "I recognize most of them, but only a few of them are medicinal herbs; the rest are almost all weeds. If you need me, I can help you find them. Of course, you'll have to pay a deposit first."
Upon hearing this, Yang Shen smiled meaningfully and said, "Are you interested in working for me?"
"Uh, what did you say, young master?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had misheard. While he was taken aback, he was also somewhat dismissive. After all, he was a powerful cultivator at the Immortal Spirit Realm, but this young man, though he couldn't see through him, didn't seem to possess much of a strong aura. Wanting him to work for him? That's...
