Chapter 7: One or Two Things in the Mountain

He Bingkun reached into his arms and threw out a silver-shining object.

Yunqi raised his hand to catch it. It was ice-cold to the touch. He opened his palm and saw it was a round silver coin.

This silver coin had fine snowflake patterns on it. Looking closely, each snowflake was a regular hexagonal crystal. Yunqi exhausted his eyesight, but couldn't see any traces of carving.

"This is?"

"Snowflake money, the money in the mountain. It's also my fault for being too busy these days and forgetting to take care of you. If Xuhuai knew, he would definitely blame me. What is it that you eat white cakes every day? Better go and settle the account."

Yunqi smiled, "The mountain is not like the secular world. White cakes are sweet and not dry, very delicious."

He Bingkun shook his head repeatedly and said:

"Don't say more. Take the money to buy some good food. You haven't eaten Qi yet. Medicinal food supplements cannot be neglected. This money is not a gift, you have to return it to me later."

Yunqi had to say yes, and didn't push it anymore. Anyway, it was a relationship of living together morning and evening, and he could return the favor sooner or later.

"You have been too obsessed with reading these days, I didn't want to disturb you. Let's chat again tonight."

The two sat on the bamboo chairs in the courtyard. The moonlight fell into the courtyard, like accumulated water, clear and empty. There were algae and duckweed in the water, but they were just shadows of pines and bamboos. Yunqi put his feet on the ground, looking like they were soaked in water, shaking and disturbing the algae and duckweed, which was quite interesting.

"Don't think that you don't hear the smell of copper after entering the immortal mountain. It's still that sentence, you can't move an inch without money. Compared with the secular world, it is even worse. So listen carefully to the next words.

"Like us registered disciples, most of the money is earned from the Duwu Institute. First, the institute issues various labor tasks for a long time, and you can get paid after completion; second, if you have any precious stones, spiritual herbs, or magic tools, you can also exchange them at the institute. However, for those who have just entered the mountain like you, with nothing, you can only see what simple labor you can do."

"So that's it."

Yunqi knew that He Bingkun was teaching him, saving him the time of reading and inquiring.

"However, there is another kind of money that has nothing to do with the Metropolitan Affairs Court; it is the money of the Metropolitan Teaching Court. This money is not easy to take, but for those with true talent, it is something that comes along as a side benefit to their cultivation."

In our Little Wan Mountain, eating Qi, Zhou Tian, opening houses, opening mansions, Five Qi Facing the Origin, and even the great realms later, as long as the time to break the realm is short, there is a reward. If you can get on the list, the bonus is even more substantial, which is real gold.

In addition, if you have any new ideas in practice or solve the problems of predecessors, there are also bonuses."

Yunqi nodded, it was a direction he could work harder on.

"Dharma, wealth, companion, land, wealth occupies the second place. Listen to me and tell you about the money in the mountain."

"The cheapest and most used money in the mountain is copper. This copper is Shouyang copper, also called red copper, Yu Zhang copper, Ancestral Ancestral Tian Shi copper, thunder essence copper, tripod copper, furnace copper. They are all the same thing. Listening to these names, you can roughly know what this copper looks like.

This copper is red. It was first discovered by the Yellow Emperor when he collected copper and cast tripods on Shouyang Mountain, so it was first called Shouyang copper, which has been passed down to this day. However, the red copper mines that have been excavated in the world are the most in Yu Zhang, so it is also called Yu Zhang copper. This kind of copper is resistant to calcination and is close to thunder, so it is liked by alchemists and thunder practitioners, so it is also called thunder essence, tripod copper, furnace copper.

Our neighbor, Mount Longhu, is famous for alchemy and thunder methods, so it is particularly fond of this copper. The red copper mine directly under the Ancestral Ancestral Tian Shi's Mansion alone has six.

In addition to refining tools with copper, they also refine a kind of copper coin sword, saying it is an imitation of the Ancestral Ancestral Tian Shi's sword, which can summon thunder and cause fire. However, I guess it is just taking a name. This copper coin sword can be exchanged for ten taels of copper, and it is priceless. The swords released every year attract people to fight for them."

"The silver used in the mountain is called snowflake silver, which is the silver-shining object in your hand. This silver naturally carries snowflake patterns, which is very easy to distinguish, also known as moon soul. Snowflake silver mines are mostly in the north of the mountain and south of the water in the Heluo region. One unit of weight of snowflake silver can be worth one and a half taels of Shouyang copper. The silver coins made by Laojun Mountain in Heluo are the most widely circulated, also called suppressing evil money. I heard that they have a money tree on the mountain, which naturally produces silver coins. It is also seven units of weight heavy, worth one tael. However, the natural money tree is mostly false, just like the Celestial Master's Mansion still says their casting furnace was given by the Eastern Han Emperor, just listen to it."

"Laojun Mountain is imitating, using snowflake silver to calcine a bracelet, saying it is an imitation of the town mountain treasure Three Talents Qingning Circle, which has the effect of calming the spirit and warding off evil. A bracelet weighing one tael can be worth five taels of snowflake silver, which is also a very circulating treasure in the mountain."

"Finally, there is gold, which is called Fangzhu gold in the mountain, and it is also called Buddha head gold in the northwest. One tael of gold can be worth one hundred taels of silver. The gold coins circulated in the mountain are mostly of two types, one is the Qionglai money of Mount Emei, and the other is the Five Directions money of Mount Wutai. Both are seven units of weight heavy, worth one tael."

Yunqi nodded after listening, the mountain and the secular world were not much different.

He Bingkun looked at Yunqi after finishing, "You kid, you have been in the mountain for a few days, why don't you inquire about Mount Mingzhi?"

This was wronging Yunqi. Yunqi thought about reading the general history first, then reading the Yu Zhang Immortal Records and the Sanqing Mountain Sect History, and then understanding the affairs of Mount Mingzhi carefully.

However, He Bingkun obviously wanted to say something actively. He said repeatedly: "Please teach me, Daoist brother."

He Bingkun smiled: "From the time you entered the sect until now, Little Daoist Master has heard a lot, right?"

Yunqi nodded bitterly.

"Our Mount Sanqing accepts disciples, generally two cycles of sixty years per generation. Only second-realm practitioners have the qualification to accept disciples. However, second-realm practitioners have the tightest time, basically they are Daoist masters preparing to break into the third realm who will accept disciples and pass down the incense."

"But Mount Mingzhi has a sect rule that only two disciples are accepted in each generation. The two are either both cultivated to the fourth realm or one of them has died, before they can accept the next generation of disciples.

=9+Book_Bar

Mount Mingzhi has produced many talents, and the practiced techniques are extremely health-preserving and do not like to fight. Most of them can cultivate to the third realm, but it is difficult to reach the fourth realm. Therefore, accepting disciples is often after one of them has exhausted their lifespan, so Mount Mingzhi accepting disciples is often once every three hundred years, which is why the seniority is much higher than other Daoist veins."

"Then Master Yu Daoist Sukong?"

Yunqi looked at Daoist Sukong's age, not looking like her lifespan was coming to an end.

He Bingkun lowered his voice a little, "The Master Yu's practice is less than two cycles of sixty years. It should be that the uncle who walked outside had some changes."

Yunqi was slightly stunned, "Is there no news passed back to the sect?"

He Bingkun shook his head, "Maybe there is, maybe not, I don't know."

He added: "You are the first disciple of this generation, so you will have a junior brother or junior sister. Either Master Yu Daoist Sukong will accept disciples personally after breaking into the fourth realm, or you will accept disciples on behalf of the master.

"In addition, according to the practice of Mount Mingzhi, if you cannot open your heart mansion within ten years, then you can only be a registered disciple for life. Master Yu Daoist Sukong will accept disciples again ten years later.

"So you know, you are not like others, you must work harder."
