After Shennong tasted the herbs, the problem of the human race's illness was solved. The problem of planting five grains for the human race to eat was also solved. The human race was thriving!
Although the human race was doing well, there were still some problems that needed to be solved!
One day, Shen Nong went to a tribe near the mountain forest and saw that the wild animals he hunted were thrown everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Shen Nong felt very strange. After asking, he found out that there were many wild beasts in this area, and the meat they hunted was too much to eat.
Another time, Shen Nong went to another tribe and saw that they were abandoning a large number of sorghums and grains.
Seeing them abandon countless grains, Shennong felt that it was a pity and stopped them!
The locals did not get angry at Shen Nong's warning. Instead, they smiled and explained," What's there to be sad about? In a few days, the new valley will be ripe again!" Anyway, he couldn't eat it, so he threw it away!”
After returning to the tribe, Shen Nong thought about these two things every day.
"Those who want food, bring salt in exchange!" Just as Shen Nong was thinking about these things, a shout came from outside.
Out of curiosity, Shennong went out to take a look. Sure enough, there was another human who used salt to exchange for food with that person!
Seeing this, Shen Nong was enlightened. Since grains and salt could be exchanged, why couldn't the tribes with more meat exchange with the tribes with more grain? Isn't it good for each to take what they need?
Thinking of this, Shen Nong didn't have time to respond to his clansmen's greetings and happily gathered all the tribal leaders.
In the end, everyone discussed and decided that every ten days, at noon, everyone would bring the extra things to a designated place and exchange them for what they needed.
Once this news was out, everyone agreed. Then, they happily took their extra things and went to the designated location.
At this time, the human heart was not as complicated as in the later generations. People were also very simple, and there was sincerity between people!
When they arrived at the market, people began to exchange what they needed with each other. Just like that, the development of the human race had improved by a large margin!
At the beginning of the exchange, it was naturally a happy and harmonious exchange. However, as time passed, the problem became more and more prominent. Many humans felt that it was unfair!
Why can I only exchange a big sheep for one or two chicks? Why can I only exchange so much grain for so little salt? Why can I only exchange such a big piece of tiger meat for a small piece of rabbit meat?
As the people were not satisfied with the items they exchanged, the market soon became deserted!
Shennong did not know what to do about this, so he could only ask Xuandu.
Although Xuandu knew how to do it, he lacked the key magic treasure--
Lu Ya seemed to know about Xuandu's predicament. When he was worried, Bai Yue came to him!
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xuandu! The white fox is very polite!" Bai Yue bowed slightly to Xuandu.
"The White Fox Sect is friendly! May I know why you are looking for Xuandu?" Xuandu returned the greeting.
"My husband knows about your difficulties and specially asked me to come and help you! This is the treasure money, perhaps it can help you! Fellow Daoist, take me to see the common master of the human race!”Bai Yue explained her intentions and took out the treasure money at the same time.
"Fellow Daoist White Fox is truly blessed to be able to obtain such a supreme treasure!”Xuandu was a little envious.
"Fellow Daoist Xuandu, you must be joking. I didn't find this item. My husband gave it to me to use for corpse chopping!”
Hearing Bai Yue's words, Xuandu could not believe that Lu Ya was actually so generous! Even though he was not the main wife, he could still give such a precious treasure to others. It could be seen that Lu Ya was still a person who valued relationships and loyalty!
Fellow Daoist White Fox, please!" Xuandu said as he brought Bai Yue to where Shen Nong worked.
……
"Teacher, why is this? I'm not in the mood to think about those things now!”When Shen Nong saw Xuandu bring in a woman whose beauty could not be described with words, he thought that Xuandu wanted to add a harem to his harem.
"Disciple, you misunderstood! This was Demon Saint White Fox, the wife of Demon Crown Prince Lu Ya! I heard that you were at a loss about the exchange of goods between humans, so I came here to help you!”Xuandu knew that Shennong had misunderstood and hurriedly explained.
"Demon Sage White Fox, please forgive me! I misunderstood!" Shen Nong immediately stood up and apologized.
"It's fine, Gongzhu! I didn't take it to heart! It's still more important!"
"Good!"
"Master, please take a look at this. It's round on the outside and square on the inside. It's small, convenient, and easy to carry…How about using this as a medium for exchanging human items?”Bai Yue took out the dropped treasure money and explained the benefits of coins and the method of making them to Shen Nong in detail.
Shennong looked at the dropped treasure money and felt that it was more feasible! He hurriedly ordered people to collect copper ores and create coins according to the appearance of the treasure coins.
The humans were busy again. After the coins were cast, Shennong gave the order that the humans would start trading coins from now on.
In the beginning, the human race did not recognize coins, believing that they could not be eaten or used to weave cloth. However, as time passed, they slowly discovered the benefits of money. From then on, there would no longer be a scene of exchanging a sheep for a chick!
Bai Yue transformed into a human and walked among the humans. Seeing that most of the people were using coins, she was very happy. She knew that her treasure money was about to be completed!
Bai Yue admired her husband more and more. He could predict these things and let her share the merit!
Seeing that there was nothing else for her to do, Bai Yue went back. She wanted to tell this news to Lu Ya. She knew that it would be another sleepless night!
……
Although the problem of currency had been solved, Shen Nong still felt that he was lacking something. It could not be considered as a complete merit, so Shen Nong simply went out to take a look.
Shennong was walking in the market when he suddenly realized that the two were arguing. It was a trade dispute, the length of the leopard skin!
The buyer paid to buy a leopard skin that was as wide as a shoulder. After receiving the money, the seller cut the leopard skin according to his shoulder width and handed it to the buyer. The buyer compared the leopard skin according to his shoulder width, but the leopard skin was not even as wide as a shoulder! The two of them had a huge difference in size. Both of them felt that they should be calculated according to the width of their shoulders. They argued with each other until their faces were red and the veins on their necks were bulging.
Seeing all this, Shen Nong was at a loss. What the two of them said made sense, and he did not know how to judge. Even the passersby could not say why.
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight at any moment and might even hurt someone's life, Shen Nong hurriedly sent people to pull the two of them away and forcefully terminate their transaction.
After Shen Nong returned to his residence, he thought about it for a long time without any results, so he went to ask his teacher again.
Xuandu heard Shennong's words and after Shennong left, he thought to himself," The length and size of items varied. Wasn't it just lacking a standard measure? Scale, ruler. And wasn't the Primordial Heaven Measuring Ruler in Lu Ya's hands? Lu Ya had used the Primordial Sky-measuring Ruler to knock down the Kun Peng's wings. Teacher is right. I still need to seek help from Lu Ya!
After hearing Xuandu's words, Lu Ya did not say anything else and asked Shen Gui to bring the Primordial Sky-measuring Ruler along with Xuandu.
At the same time.
Dipamkara, who was in the Jade Mirage Palace on Kunlun Mountain, had obtained a spiritual treasure by chance. It was called the Universal Ruler! After obtaining the Universal Ruler, Dipamkara couldn't help but study it and discovered that the Universal Ruler actually came with a master's order!
This treasure was only an ordinary superior-grade primordial spirit treasure, but Dipamkara had a feeling that the ruler would definitely not lose to a supreme-grade primordial spirit treasure after it completed its mission.
When Dipamkara heard that Shennong was worried about the scale, he finally knew the mission of the Ruler of Heaven and Earth. He was overjoyed and hurried to the Human Tribe to obtain some merit so that his Ruler of Heaven and Earth could increase its power!
When Lu Ya heard Xuandu's words, he asked Shen Gui to bring the Primordial Sky-measuring Ruler to the Human Race.
Shen Gui, on the other hand, arrived at Shen Nong's office even faster. He explained the benefits of a ruler to Shen Nong, explaining how much a foot was and how much an inch was. He explained it clearly, and Shen Nong agreed excitedly.
Just as Shen Nong was feeling happy about resolving the conflict between the Human Tribe, the guard outside suddenly reported that a Taoist priest who claimed to be a disciple of the Jade Mirage Palace wanted to meet the common master and discuss a great contribution to the Human Tribe.
Upon hearing the person's arrogant tone, Shen Nong did not dare to be negligent. After all, as the master, he was doing this for the development of the human race. Shen Nong was naturally happy to see him make a great contribution to the human race.
Shen Nong apologized to Shen Gui and personally went out to welcome him. He saw a smiling fellow standing in front of the door. Shen Nong did not know why, but he told himself that this fellow was definitely sinister.
Although he thought so in his heart, he still greeted him with a smile. After all, the purpose of his visit was for the sake of the human race. Although he did not know if it was true or not, as the ruler of the human race, he had to listen to his opinion.
"Taoist Priest Yuxu, Shennong is here to atone for his sins.”
Shen Nong greeted him with a smile and cupped his fists. The Taoist cultivator also smiled and cupped his fists." I am Dipamkara, and I am silently calculating the troubles of the Human Tribe. I have come to relieve you of your worries. I have no choice but to come. Please forgive me for disturbing you."”
"Haha! Thank you for your concern for the Human Tribe, Taoist Priest. I thank you on behalf of the Human Tribe. If you have anything to say, let's continue in the house. Please, Taoist Priest!”
As Shennong spoke, he made a gesture of invitation. Dipamkara nodded and walked in with his head held high as if he was here to relieve the humans of their troubles.
Shen Nong didn't say anything and followed him back to his office.
Dipamkara had just walked in when he realized that there was another person inside. He immediately frowned. Why was Lu Ya's eldest disciple here?
Due to the influence of Primitive, the disciples of the Clan of Enlightenment and Dipamkara did not have a good impression of Luya and his disciples. Although Dipamkara was uncomfortable, he still took the initiative to greet them on the surface."So it's little friend Shen Gui here. This Penniless Priest greets you!”
"Friend of the Burning Lamp Sect!" Shen Gui replied lightly.
After hearing Shen Gui's response, Dipamkara was very unhappy. He was of the same generation as Dijun and Taiyi. As a disciple of Luya, shouldn't you call me senior? Do you think you have the right to call me 'Fellow Daoist'? Indeed, like teacher, like disciple! Cult Master was right! He doesn't know manners, but I can't be like him!
How could Shen Gui not know about these things? Like Lu Ya, he could not stand these people from Chan School, so he naturally would not call them "seniors"! He had always looked up to his teacher. He would not be rude to those who were addressed as " senior " by his teacher, such as Zhenyuanzi and Ancestor Minghe. He would also not be rude to those who were addressed as " fellow Daoists " by his teacher, such as Xuandu and the people of Jie School!
Shen Gui continued," I didn't know that Vice Sect Master Yuxu had come. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Since Fellow Daoist has something to discuss with you, I'll leave!"”
After Shen Gui finished speaking, he left temporarily.
"Humph! At least you know what's good for you!" Dipamkara chuckled in his heart.
Dipamkara turned around and smiled at Shennong. He took out an item and Shennong was instantly stunned. This item was jade white and had the words " one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and zero " written on it. This item was so familiar!
Seeing Shen Nong's stunned expression, Dipamkara said proudly," This treasure of mine is the Ruler of Heaven and Earth. It can measure the land of Heaven and Earth!" I'm here to solve the problem of the length and size of the human race. I hope you can do me a favor.”
Hearing Dipamkara's words, Shennong finally remembered. Wasn't this another version of the Primordial Heaven Measuring Ruler that he, Immortal Shen Gui, had taken out? Shen Gui was invited by his teacher, so he trusted him. But was this Dipamkara a ruler he got from somewhere?
Although the Primordial Sky-measuring Ruler was purple-gold in color and was much longer than the one on Dipamkara's hand, it was undoubtedly a ruler that could be used for measurement!
After Dipamkara finished speaking, he looked at Shennong's surprised expression and could not help but ask in puzzlement,""Gongzhu, is there anything wrong with what I said?”
Shen Nong said with a stern face," Daoist Priest Dipamkara, you're late. The Human Tribe has already settled the issue of the size. I'm sorry to trouble you to come here. The Human Tribe will definitely entertain you well."”
Dipamkara was stunned and confused. He kept thinking, How was this possible? And this Divine Farmer told him that the human race's size had been resolved, and his opportunity was gone…
Dipamkara had a look of disbelief. When he saw Shen Gui, who had suddenly appeared with a smile on his face, he instantly understood that his opportunity had been snatched by Shen Gui.
Although he didn't know how Shen Gui had snatched his opportunity, this matter was certain. Dipamkara's face no longer had the smile from before. His expression was gloomy and terrifying.
"Dipamkara! I thought you really had something useful to the human race and deliberately avoided it. I didn't expect that it was just this?
Have you forgotten what my teacher used to knock down the Kun Peng's wings? The Untainted Land didn't know that you had a ruler type spiritual treasure. My teacher has a supreme treasure like the Primordial Sky-measuring Ruler, which is ten thousand times stronger than your lousy ruler!
I was invited by the master's teacher Xuandu, what about you?
Don't say that I didn't give you a chance. Take your ruler and fight me!”
As Shen Gui spoke, the Primordial Heaven Measuring Ruler appeared in his hand.
Dipamkara saw Shen Gui take out the Primordial Sky-measuring Ruler and knew that Shen Gui was going to be serious. He could not help but want to retreat.
He knew that Shen Gui was the reincarnation of the Northern Sea Black Tortoise and was born with great merit. He didn't dare to attack him easily. Moreover, his intuition told him that Shen Gui was definitely a quasi-saint! He was well aware of the power of the Primordial Sky-measuring Ruler. Even the Kun Peng could not withstand it. If he was hit by the ruler, what would happen?
"Little friend, you actually stole my opportunity! This karma was bound to end sooner or later.”After Dipamkara said those harsh words, he turned around and left. He was not a fool to fight with Shen Gui.
"Hahaha!" Looking at Dipamkara, who was leaving angrily but only dared to say harsh words and not accept the challenge, Shen Gui laughed without any scruples.
Just like that, the promotion of coins and size went smoothly. In just a few years, all the humans recognized it! Ten percent of the merit that descended from the heavens was given to Bai Yue, ten percent to Shen Gui, and forty percent each for the Primordial Heaven-measuring Ruler and the Treasure-dropping Gold Coin!
The Treasure Drop Coin directly turned into a Merit Spirit Treasure. The function of the treasure drop was greatly enhanced. It was no longer the daily three treasures. As long as there was enough Merit inside, the number of treasure drops was unlimited.
In his previous life, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao did not have the opportunity to forge coins, so the treasure coin did not have such power. The two of them also died in the True Immortal Realm and could not break through to the God List.
Seeing the change in the treasure coin, Bai Yue was overjoyed and quickly pulled Lu Ya to fight again.
Lu Ya could feel that the power of the Primordial Sky-measuring Ruler had become much stronger. He smiled." Shen Gui, this child, has been smart since he was young! It was not in vain that I lent him the Primordial Heaven Measuring Ruler to play with!”
