Han Muye’s eyes lit up as he whispered.
The golden bird spread its wings, seemingly agreeing with the suggestion.
“However, the Muyue Battle Puppet has already been exposed. I’m afraid there will be endless trouble in the future,” Chaos said, clearly more alert.
As long as this Battle Puppet remained in Cold Moon City, it could serve as a foundation to resist various major cities, but it would also attract the attention of experts from the Divine Realm.
Back then, this Battle Puppet would rather let Cold Moon City fall than reveal itself.
“Muyue…” Han Muye pondered for a moment, then said softly, “I promised that I would help it truly become a person.
“It’s about time to do so.”
These words stunned the golden bird, Chaos, and the Five Elements Divine Furnace.
“You, you can do it?” the golden bird asked in surprise.
Han Muye shook his head.
The golden bird flapped its wings, ready to speak again, when Han Muye said, “Not before, but now, it’s about time.”
The golden bird’s wings paused mid-air, almost causing it to fall to the ground.
The Golden Bead also stopped spinning.
As for the Five Elements Divine Furnace, it lowered its head with a complicated expression and muttered something.
For a weapon refiner, or rather, for the art of refining itself, the most difficult achievement was probably reaching the extreme of bionics, truly attaining the level of living beings.
Breaking away from mere imitation.
Truly creating living beings.
At this level, it would be Creation.
The ultimate goal of refining.
Han Muye was actually going to reach this level?
“Ahem, don’t tell me you think I can create living beings?”
Han Muye’s voice rang out.
“If I could reach that level, why would I stay in the Galaxy Universe?
“I’d go straight back to the Primordial Chaos Universe and create a few hundred powerful divine beasts at the level of Primordial Chaos Overlords. Wouldn’t that be great?”
His words made the golden bird flap its wings wildly, and the Golden Beads flew everywhere.
After leaving Julin City, Han Muye did not go to Vulture City or Cold Moon City.
He used the teleportation array to go directly to Tianxiang City, which was connected to more than half of the large cities in the void world.
Currently, Tianxiang City was known as a trading city. Countless cultivators traded within, searching for treasures that suited them.
Among them, the small buildings rented by various large cities were the most special.
These small buildings almost never did business with ordinary cultivators. Their transactions were those worth tens of millions of resources exchanged between large cities.
Stepping into Tianxiang City, countless figures intersected, and the noise was like a boiling cauldron.
This place truly was a trading city.
Countless forces pursuing wealth and countless experts seeking fortune came here.
Of course, without sufficient strength and capital, it was impossible to achieve anything here.
However, if you had foresight and methods, Tianxiang City held countless legends of overnight riches.
Walking down the street, Han Muye could hear countless stories around him.
Someone had acquired a damaged weapon at a stall, and after repairing it, it turned out to be a Primordial Chaos treasure, increasing its value ten thousand times.
Someone had bought a lot of spiritual materials in a newly opened pavilion and realized that a large city urgently needed them, earning a hundredfold profit in the process.
Many had accumulated billions by reselling various spiritual materials and resources.
Even those with no connections, earning hard money from various transactions, lived well here, far better than cultivators elsewhere.
Unknowingly, Tianxiang City had become a city of wealth.
It had also become a city of dreams.
Countless people here wanted to realize their life’s value.
“He Yangsun is not bad…” The golden bird stood on Han Muye’s shoulder, looking at the surrounding small buildings, muttering.
What Han Muye, who had returned to Tianxiang City, did not expect was that Tianxiang City already had a special currency.
It was a Tianxiang Coin that was exclusively traded in Tianxiang City.
This currency was a credit currency. It was traded in Tianxiang City, where the various factions set a suitable price for each other’s resources and then settled according to Tianxiang Coins.
The reason for the currency’s appearance was that neither origin coins nor origin stones were sufficient bargaining chips for the Void City.
These resources were precious items, and only treasures of the same level could be traded.
No one was willing to accept origin coins and origin stones.
Actually, origin coins led by the four alliances had not circulated particularly smoothly in large cities.
For example, the endless wealth in Han Muye’s hands was more in exchange for resources.
Actually, origin coins led by the four alliances had not circulated particularly smoothly in large cities.
Tianxiang Coins, a currency that didn’t have a physical body and only represented credit, was more acceptable to all parties in Tianxiang City.
This was an unexpected surprise.
However, along the way, Han Muye had a different opinion of the Tianxiang Coins.
“I reckon this Tianxiang Coin is also a double-edged sword,” Han Muye said softly as he looked at the small building representing the city lord’s residence.
This trading city had no City Lord’s Mansion, only tens of thousands of small buildings.
Every small building had at least one divine-level or peak-level sage expert presiding over it.
The number of experts in this Tianxiang City was unimaginable.
No one dared to have designs on this city.
When he saw He Yangsun again, this fellow’s current bearing seemed extremely solemn to outsiders.
Would he be in charge of a large city, or would he challenge and turn it into a trading city?
He Yangsun had courage, responsibility, and boldness.
The current He Yangsun was completely different from the desolate state he was in when he first met Han Muye.
Now, He Yangsun was also very famous in the Void City. Countless experts wanted to see the City Lord of the Trading City, who wielded endless wealth, but were unable to do so.
“Master Han, although Tianxiang Coins can become the city’s credit currency, there’s a drawback.” Standing in front of Han Muye, He Yangsun’s expression was a little solemn.
He had already reported the progress of all aspects of the city.
70% of those small buildings had already been rented out.
The annual rent alone was already an unimaginable figure.
Moreover, there were still those workshops on the other side of Tianxiang City.
The workshop was the foundation of the Jujin Trading Company.
Hearing his words, Han Muye chuckled and said, “You’re saying that this Tianxiang Coin will be maliciously controlled by a few people, right?”
His words made He Yangsun’s eyes light up. He nodded and said, “Teacher Han really sees through everything.”
Tianxiang Coins were used for transactions in Tianxiang City.
This meant that their value was extremely high, but they were limited.
If someone deliberately continued to raise the value of the Tianxiang Coins and hoarded them, they would eventually dominate the trading pricing rights of the entire Tianxiang City.
In this way, the profits from the transactions in the Tianxiang City would eventually belong to a small number of people. These Tianxiang Coins would also become tools for them to accumulate wealth.
To He Yangsun and Tianxiang City, Tianxiang Coins were a tool to maintain transactions in the city. They had good intentions.
But wealth moved one’s heart.
There were already people planning how to use a small amount of capital to leverage the operation of the Tianxiang Coins.
This was also something that He Yangsun had been vexed about recently.
“This Tianxiang Coin has already entered the market. It’s very difficult for it to be withdrawn.
“But the Tianxiang Coins won’t be refunded. I’ve already sensed that someone has started to hype it up and secretly collected it.”
He Yangsun looked at Han Muye and whispered.
He had also secretly interacted with many experts in the city.
There were also many business-sensitive experts in Tianxiang City who had done their deductions.
The result of the deduction was terrifying.
If the Tianxiang Coins were really controlled by someone with ulterior motives, Tianxiang City would lose the dominance of the trading city.
Every year, a huge amount of rental funds had to be filled in.
In addition, the powers that controlled the Tianxiang Coins would have the right to set the price.
That was true wealth.
He could reap countless forces in one go.
There was no need to really plunder much. As long as he cut off a layer of excess, it would be an unimaginable wealth.
Once or twice, when this harvest became a routine, it would be difficult for outsiders to notice.
“You’re right to be worried.”
Han Muye nodded.
He looked outside the small building, at the sprawling pavilions and the millions of cultivators.
“Once such a thing happens, not only can you not expose it, but you also have to become a tool in the other party’s hands.
“Otherwise, these cultivators will tear you and this city into pieces.”
Han Muye whispered, then turned to look at He Yangsun.
“It won’t be hard to solve.
“Have you ever heard of stocks and futures?”
He Yangsun shook his head blankly.
Han Muye nodded.
As if you’d ever heard of that.
