Chapter 539: Consider it tuition.
"Let them go." Smiling, he instructed the Huo family head behind him, "Join forces with the Hong and Yuan families, and immediately declare martial law throughout the city."
"Don't worry about the barter shop."
"I've always heard that there are also Mahayana Ancestors in the Exchange Pavilion, but that's just hearsay. If not, then Ancestor Wanqi..." Patriarch Huo looked worried.
The patriarch clearly wanted to protect those children; it wouldn't be good if Wanqi Yunyan found a loophole.
"No problem!"
Does Old Ancestor Huo not know if there are any patriarchs in the Barter Pavilion? Not only are there, there are several. Although they all come from different circles, the Barter Pavilion is a joint venture between these people.
But that group of people did not live in the Demon City.
Instead, he secluded himself somewhere in the desert to cultivate in seclusion.
The Exchange Pavilion can appear at any time if it so desires.
Otherwise, how could the Exchange Pavilion have stood in the Demon City for tens of millions of years without collapsing?
"By the way, Ancestor, we've also discovered something very strange!" Patriarch Huo said with a puzzled expression.
"Say!"
"We're not entirely sure either. The spiritual energy in this sacred cultivation ground seems to have suddenly become much denser recently, and we still haven't found the reason..."
The sound grew fainter and fainter as the Huo family members walked away, until it could no longer be heard.
Early the next morning, Mu Zhen and his group stood at the entrance of the villa, ready to go, with more than a dozen Nascent Soul Realm experts from various forces protecting them.
Before yesterday, they would naturally have refused to condescend to be guards for a few juniors in the Qi Refining Realm.
But now that the person is carrying a Dao artifact, let's consider it as protecting the Dao artifact. This thing cannot be taken away by any Mahayana patriarch.
The situation in Demon City is currently very stable, and there is no hope of any trouble occurring within the next ten years.
"Under normal circumstances, the Barter Pavilion does not allow the exchange of spirit stones for items."
However, spirit stones can also be useful if both the buyer and seller agree.
However, it can only be top-grade spirit stones. Don't you have ten million? You should be able to buy a lot of good things.
Don't underestimate the purchasing power of ten million. I only had five hundred thousand in my entire life, and I gave them all to you that day.
As they walked, Wan Gu explained the rules of the Exchange Pavilion to them.
Mu Zhen said frankly, "I don't have that much left. I used half of it while cultivating in the Holy Land... What happened?"
Everyone, including the powerful cultivators who had come to protect them from behind, stopped in their tracks, looking at them as if they were a bunch of idiots.
Why are you all staring at us like that?
The strangest looks came from Wan Gu and Xuan Yuan Jin Mo.
"Five million were used?" Xuan Yuan Jinmo didn't believe they would make such a basic mistake.
Do they know who top-grade spirit stones are for? They are only used by Nascent Soul cultivators when they are advancing in their cultivation level. They don't need spirit stones for regular cultivation; instead, they go to places with spiritual veins to cultivate.
For high-level cultivators, using spirit stones for cultivation is beyond extravagance, because no matter how many they use, it's never enough. Absorbing spirit stones for even a day is enough to fill a small mountain of high-grade spirit stones.
When breaking through to a higher realm, one must be extremely careful not to make mistakes. Only if the surrounding spiritual energy is insufficient will one need to use spirit stones.
Five million top-grade spirit stones are enough to advance from the early stage of the Fusion Realm... no, from the middle stage of the Fusion Realm to the late stage.
If several Qi Refining Realm cultivators could absorb all of them, wouldn't they explode and die?
Mu Zhen nodded: "Yes!"
"You even used a hundred buckets of the spiritual spring water that Fallen Cherry Blossoms gave you?"
"Yes!"
Xuanyuan Jinmo was momentarily speechless.
He's amazing! He respects no one but them!
Emperor Tianhuang seemed to sense something and asked suspiciously, "You mean we don't need these at all?"
"The spiritual spring is useful, but if you only cultivate steadily, it will take the six of you at least ten years to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining. You want to forcibly accelerate your advancement?"
The resources consumed would naturally be hundreds of times higher.
But... a hundred buckets of spiritual spring water is enough! Xuan Yuan Jinmo's smile was stiff, but at this moment, he had to give them a smile and let them figure it out themselves.
He also doubted how they were able to absorb all one hundred buckets of spiritual spring water in less than fifteen minutes.
With the technique I was given, it was absolutely impossible to do it.
He underestimated the resources these people possessed.
But cultivators have little in common except for their many secrets, and they are most averse to being questioned.
"Where did those spirit stones go?" Mu Zhen had a very bad feeling.
They always kept their eyes closed while cultivating, and when they opened them again, all the spirit stones and spirit springs had disappeared. They thought they had absorbed them all.
"Uh..." Xuan Yuan Jinmo was speechless.
He also wanted to ask how their parents raised their children. Did they let them roam freely in the deep mountains and forests from a young age?
You don't even know so much basic knowledge.
I really don't want to discourage them, but if this isn't clarified, they might cause trouble at the sacred site: "These kinds of man-made cultivation grounds usually don't allow spirit stones to be taken out."
Because spiritual veins will actively absorb the spiritual energy within them to replenish their own nourishment.
Furthermore, if you truly possessed the ability to refine five million top-grade spirit stones in a single day, you wouldn't be at the Qi Refining stage now, but rather the Nascent Soul stage!
After speaking, Xuan Yuan Jinmo rubbed his nose and awkwardly chased after Wan Gu, who had walked away.
Six people: ...
They all turned their peripheral vision to stare at the same spot.
There, Little Giant Pit stood there dumbfounded, taking a bite of a spirit fruit, and then whooshed back into the system space.
She didn't know about this either. In the past, when each host went to the cultivation ground, they never took out spirit stones or immortal crystals.
She didn't want to be scolded by the hosts all the time, so while the hosts were cultivating, she would go into her space to eat, drink, play games, and so on.
It's like how many people who have eaten rice their whole lives would never recognize a grain of unhulled rice.
Making basic mistakes is inevitable!
Even if we take a step back and say that she only said that if they wanted to cultivate faster, they should take out more top-grade spirit stones as an aid, and put away any leftovers.
But it didn't say we had to come up with five million, did it?
They were greedy and wanted to get rich quick, so who can they blame?
"Can we still go to the manager of the Holy Land to get the spirit stones back?" Mu Zhen asked a nearby Nascent Soul cultivator in a trembling voice.
More than a dozen people shook their heads at the same time.
It's like throwing a meat bun to a dog; you'll never get it back in this lifetime.
Didn't they see that huge rule stele outside the Holy Land when they went there? It clearly states that spirit stones must be placed in storage bags, and the authorities are not responsible for any losses!
Five million top-grade spirit stones, that's five hundred million high-grade spirit stones! My goodness, that's ten years' worth of harvest for the entire Hong family!
The Huo family's lineage is a celestial vein; no matter how many top-grade spirit stones are thrown in, it will only produce a sound and won't extend the lifespan of the lineage much.
Therefore, the Huo family didn't really gain anything.
In this situation, why should they return it?
Mu Zhen roared in his mind: "Little Giant Pit, you son of a bitch, can you please stop ripping us off?"
Five million top-grade spirit stones! I'm really... damn it, you're going to give me high blood pressure!
Mu Zhen was angry, and Xiao Jukeng felt wronged. She thought they would only take out a few dozen or a hundred at most.
They were greedy and couldn't keep up with the demand, so how can they blame her when they were overeaten?
Emperor Tianhuang remained the most composed. He had already said it was a huge pitfall, so he had to treat it as the ultimate pitfall.
Consider it tuition.
