Chapter 156 Becoming a Sister
While the players were warmly entertaining Coral, Elder Lu Ying on the other side also got up from his bed to work overtime, and was "reporting" to Fang Xianyu on the temporarily drafted "Plan for the Establishment of the Taiyin Sect's Sovereign Credit Currency System."
In fact, as early as when Chang'an City began to attract low-level cultivators from various sects and forces, the Flower-Growing Family project team had drafted a plan to establish a credit currency. However, there were too many things to deal with, and the Taiyin Sect's position was still very embarrassing, so they did not have the time to implement it for a while.
After all, judging from the level of development of the world of immortal cultivation, which is still in the wild governance period, a systematic credit currency has not yet appeared! If the Taiyin Sect rashly promotes credit currency without matching strength and voice, not only will no sect or force buy it, but they will also scold the Taiyin Sect for being whimsical!
If one's virtue is not in line with one's position, there will be disaster! And this exchange with the Quanxian tribe is a perfect opportunity!
First of all, the Quanxian tribe is an alien race and lives in the sea. Naturally, they don’t care much about the power of the human cultivators who mainly live on land. This gives the Taiyin Sect an opportunity.
Secondly, the lifestyles of the Quanxian people and the human race are very different, and many of the resources they possess are complementary. Apart from anything else, the country next door to the Blue Star Realm that lives a good life has one of the world's largest iron mines in the sea. The mineral resources on the seabed are actually very rich. Putting aside the problems of water resistance, pressure and the inability to breathe in water, seabed mining is actually easier - of course, it is easier for the Quanxian people.
Finally, the Quanxian tribe highly respects "iron tools".
This was told to Lu Ying by Fang Xianyu.
“Although there are many rare minerals on the seabed, the Quanxian tribe is not good at smelting. They either hammer them into shape or make knives out of fish bones or animal bones. Although there are indeed many exotic animal bones in the sea that are as hard as iron, they are still not as convenient to use as metal. Therefore, in the Quanxian tribe, knives that can cut seaweed and chop fish bones are all good knives.”
Although Fang Xianyu had not had much contact with the Quanxian tribe, he had lived for an extra century and had dealt with them to some extent and knew a lot of relevant details.
"So, the knife that Mr. Quan wanted was really a kitchen knife?"
Lu Ying frowned, thinking it was ridiculous.
Even if you don't change your magic weapon, changing it to cold weapons sounds more reliable than changing it to a kitchen knife!
Fang Xianyu explained: "The knives made of those exotic animal bones are hard enough, but too brittle, and easily chipped. It is also very time-consuming to make a bone knife, and it takes several months to sharpen the blade! Therefore, this kind of daily-use knife is extremely precious in the Quanxian tribe, so much so that some of the more unruly Quanxian directly use their claws to tear food to eat..."
"Hmm..." Lu Ying pondered for a moment before saying, "If we only rely on metal knife products to maintain trade, it will be too unstable! This kind of thing is not irreplaceable. Taiyin Sect can provide it, Guangcheng Sect can also provide it, and almost all major sects and forces in the Ten Continents and Three Islands can provide it!"
She thought about it and suddenly asked, "Master, does the Quanxian tribe have any special hobbies?"
Fang Xianyu also began to ponder, and suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Sugar!"
"sugar?"
Fang Xianyu said, "That's right! The Quanxian tribe needs to live in the sea all year round, but unlike most aquatic creatures, their physiological structure has not evolved to be more suitable for the aquatic environment. Instead, they can only swim by relying on the power of their tails and waists. The fins on their arms and ears... uh, maybe they are just for decoration? In short, they love high-calorie, high-fat foods very much. Even their favorite fish are whales! And sugar is a hard currency in the Quanxian tribe, just like the spirit stones among us cultivators!"
Lu Ying was a little confused: "But, won't sugar dissolve in water?" "In fact, the Quanxian tribe does not live in the water," Fang Xianyu explained, "They just 'can' live in the water, not 'only' live in the water. For example, Quanxian King City, although it is indeed located on the seabed, even at the entrance where Zhongzhou Sea merges into Guixu Sea, the Dao City is actually isolated from the sea water."
Lu Ying suddenly realized and laughed: "That's much easier. It seems that I still know too little about the customs and culture here. I'm sorry to make the sect leader laugh at me!"
At the same time, dozens of players and native monks had gathered near the open-air stall of the barbecue restaurant. Everyone moved their chairs and leaned against the tables, and some even simply stood in the crowd to listen to Coral, who was speaking the Middle-Asia dialect more and more fluently, telling about what he saw and heard on the seabed.
"We in the Quanxian tribe have only one king. When one king dies, another king is born. King Quanxian was 'invited' to be born by all the members of the Quanxian tribe. He is the strongest and most powerful of the Quanxian tribe!
"Our current Queen Quanxian is called Chongchuan. She must live in the royal city and suppress the passage to Guixu Sea. Otherwise, the evil demons in Guixu Sea will flood into the many seas of the Ten Continents and Three Islands, and I'm afraid that all living things will be devastated!"
Although Shanhu's words sounded a bit serious, most players thought it was a plot setting and didn't feel anything. The native monks knew all this very well and didn't have any new ideas. So everyone's attention began to drift away. Some players even openly gossiped: "Is your former king of Quan a man or a woman? Do you have a queen, a queen consort, or something like that?"
Shanhu didn't quite understand the players' focus, but out of politeness, she answered their questions: "Uh... now she's a female... a woman, without a husband..."
Players who knew nothing about the Quanxian tribe caught the "highlight": "She's a woman now? Huh? Was she a man before? Are the Quanxian tribe's technology so advanced? Can they even perform sex reassignment surgery?"
"Are you stupid? The Quanxian people are hermaphrodites and can change their gender according to their preferences! You don't even know this?"
The one who answered the question but spoke in a bad tone was a native monk. However, this monk had been living in Chang'an City for too long, and his way of speaking and doing things seemed a little strange to the players. If he didn't have an ID that only players have, no one would doubt that he was a player! Shanhu nodded and said, "That's right. King Chongchuan was actually a male when he was born... but because he liked the various jewelry that the human race brought into the royal city, he took the initiative to change his gender. I heard that it was to look better wearing the clothes and jewelry of the human monks..."
Many players were shocked when they learned about this characteristic of the Quanxian tribe for the first time, and there was an uproar around them.
"This ability is so strong..."
“That’s awesome!”
"I also want to be a beautiful sister..."
"Bah! Damn fag!"
"Wake up, even if you become a sister, you will become a fat, dark, ugly sister, not a pretty sister!"
“…”
