Top-grade spirit stones and mid-grade spirit stones are vastly different.
In the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the exchange rate between top-grade and mid-grade spirit stones is not one to a hundred, but one to ten thousand!
However, no one has ever exchanged top-grade spirit stones for mid-grade ones, because mid-grade spirit stones only contain pure spiritual qi.
Top-grade spirit stones, on the other hand, not only possess more abundant and pure spiritual qi but also contain a trace of pure Spirit Vein energy.
This energy cannot be captured due to the mixture of spiritual qi, making it quite unique.
Spiritual qi is the foundation of the Immortal Path, and such energy, born from spirit stones, greatly benefits the cultivation of Unity True Lords, as they have begun to touch upon the rules of the Great Dao.
Top-grade spirit stones are also crucial for those in the Void Refinement phase, even earning the nickname "Boundary Breaking Stones."
If one starts using top-grade spirit stones for cultivation during the Void Refinement phase, the path to Unity would be smooth and unobstructed, making it easier to comprehend the Spiritual Qi Immortal Path.
With top-grade spirit stones paving the way, the Great Dao lies beneath your feet, making you the undisputed child of the Great Dao, a grand world tycoon, with countless cultivators bowing at your feet!
Before long, they were seated on tables and chairs crafted from "Immortal Fiber Stone."
This rare stone is quite expensive, with effects that calm the mind and spirit. It is warm and smooth, with a hint of green within the white, as if spiritual qi flows within.
Chen Xun did not drink wine, instead holding a cup of health tea, unusually calm. "Fellow Daoist Mo, I've heard that the Heavenly Immortal Tower has a grand origin, even capable of acquiring the Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins?"
Mo Ye Han paused in his pouring, raising an eyebrow. "Indeed, Fellow Daoist Chen, feel free to speak plainly. I dislike beating around the bush."
"The blood essence of at least five Nascent Soul beings from various clans in the Mengmu Sea Region."
Chen Xun's words were shocking, yet he spoke as if it were a trivial matter. "Does the Heavenly Immortal Tower have the capability for this?"
"Are you planning to cultivate some forbidden art?" Mo Ye Han's brows furrowed tighter, casting a deep glance at Chen Xun before speaking slowly. "If so, I advise you to abandon this thought; you cannot bear the consequences."
"Of course not." Chen Xun's gaze was sharp, his words firm. "Master Mo, I also dislike wasting time."
"Heh, interesting." Mo Ye Han downed his cup of wine in one go. "Fellow Daoist Chen, what about your financial resources? This cannot be accomplished in a short time, but the Heavenly Immortal Tower certainly has the capability."
Chen Xun did not respond to this, instead taking out two items, though they were quite fragmented.
"Returning to Origin Purple God Essence... Purple Mansion Green Spirit Liquid..."
Mo Ye Han, well-versed in such matters, recognized them immediately, his eyes filled with intense surprise. "Fellow Daoist Chen, these items..."
He hesitated, pondering deeply, showing no delight but rather a hint of struggle in his expression.
Chen Xun was not in a hurry, watching him quietly. Since he dared to present these items, he was prepared for any outcome and explanation.
He had inquired about these items within the Star Pivot, knowing they were heavenly treasures prone to causing disputes.
They were exceptionally precious, always in short supply, and even the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance had been purchasing them for years.
These two items could only be obtained from the Tower of Babel in Xuanwei Heaven, but the Tower of Babel was not something created by the myriad races of the grand world!
It was formed by the utmost creation of heaven and earth, a place where prodigies competed!
The other heavenly domains were the same, each having its own ancient heavenly secret realm.
Vast and boundless within, they could not be controlled by humans, nor did anyone have the ability to control them.
In the untraceable immortal history, it wasn't that the heavenly secret realms descended automatically within the heavenly domains, but rather places with heavenly secret realms were designated as heavenly domains, their origins extremely mysterious and ancient.
"Fellow Daoist Chen," Mo Ye Han spoke with some hesitation. "These items, my Heavenly Immortal Tower cannot handle them, nor can the family behind me; we need to draw a clear line."
Though he coveted such treasures, once they passed through his hands, they would involve all his connections, affecting everything.
As a prodigy, he shone brightly outside, but the care he received inside far exceeded that of ordinary people, and he did not want to bring them trouble.
The origin of top-grade spirit stones was too simple to explain; once they entered his Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal, no one dared to investigate. He did not want to touch these items; the risk was too great.
"Master Mo, I understand your concerns." Chen Xun nodded gently, showing great understanding. "I will handle these items myself; between us, there will only be spirit stone transactions."
"That would be best." Mo Ye Han's lips curled into a meaningful smile. "I will complete what Fellow Daoist Chen asked for as soon as possible, but it will certainly take some time."
"I can wait; handling these items will naturally take some time."
Chen Xun nodded, savoring his health tea. "But after today, I won't be visiting the Heavenly Immortal Tower again."
"Oh?" Mo Ye Han raised an eyebrow, his expression serious. "Is Fellow Daoist Chen still upset? How about..."
"I do have that much magnanimity."
Chen Xun waved his hand, cutting him off directly. "It's just that the expenses are too high; I'd rather buy some spirit beasts on Li Chen Island and cook them myself."
"Hahaha..."
Mo Ye Han laughed heartily, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "Fellow Daoist Chen has quite the interest, but if this matter succeeds, the Heavenly Immortal Tower will no longer charge you any spirit stones in the future; you may come freely."
"Mm." Chen Xun responded calmly, already rising. "Then, Master Mo, I won't stay any longer."
Mo Ye Han also stood up, suddenly filled with fighting spirit. "Fellow Daoist Chen, if you have time, I hope you will come to Dongxuan Dao Academy for a spar; I will welcome you with open arms."
Compared to doing business, such an opponent interested him more.
He refused to believe this person was an unknown figure, perhaps even unable to fit on the prodigy list of the Chaos Immortal Spirit List of the Southern Yu Continent!
Chen Xun had little interest in dueling, merely giving him a deep look and speaking politely. "Next time, for sure."
Mo Ye Han's expression turned awkward. Was this a refusal?!
He then took out a Void Transmission Disk, though this disk was clearly different from Chen Xun's. Changing the subject, he said, "You can contact me anywhere on the Southern Yu Continent using the transmission disk."
With that, he infused a wisp of divine sense into the void, then left directly, carrying an innate arrogance.
Chen Xun's eyes revealed a deep thoughtfulness; he had no way to investigate the background of the Heavenly Immortal Tower.
But at least it wasn't a gathering place for evil cultivators; it was still under the supervision of the authorities. The allure of top-grade spirit stones was something no discerning cultivator would refuse.
Someone who could reach the level of a tower master, whether a single meal or a lifetime of abundance, surely knew the difference.
Chen Xun then stopped thinking about it, storing this wisp of qi into his own transmission disk, and disappeared from the Heavenly Immortal Tower.
After Chen Xun left.
On the open-air platform of the Heavenly Immortal Tower, Mo Ye Han watched him leave, with a woman in a long purple dress standing beside him, her eyebrows long and slender.
"Master, can this person be trusted?" The woman's expression was cold, her eyes slightly respectful. "He might have some connection with Misty; it's best not to get too involved."
"Misty?"
"This person seems to be in the garbage collection business." The woman replied solemnly. "There's an ownerless land on the edge of the Immortal City, named the garbage recycling plant by him; this is newly discovered information."
"Garbage collection..." Mo Ye Han was momentarily speechless, his expression somewhat unpleasant, having thought he was some peerless prodigy.
But his furrowed brow soon relaxed, his eyes showing renewed interest.
Mo Ye Han turned slightly, looking at the woman and ordering, "Tell the sea tribe to leave some blood essence when they act; I have use for it. For now, there's no need to involve the Luo Yan Hall's forces."
"Yes, Master." The woman smiled faintly. "It seems this person holds a high place in your heart."
"Don't ask what you shouldn't." Mo Ye Han's sharp gaze was like a knife, silencing the woman immediately, making her close her mouth.
At this moment, a mighty gale arose!
Mo Ye Han ascended into the air, his black jade crown strikingly visible, coldly overlooking the terrace. "I'm returning to Dongxuan Dao Academy; do not disturb me unless necessary."
"Yes, Master."
The woman bowed her head in salute, feeling immense pressure. Such a person was like an unapproachable existence, completely from another world.
...
On the grand road, Chen Xun frowned, slightly raising his head to look at the floating islands in the distant sky.
He wanted to buy a large property on each of the super islands, yet over the years, he seemed to have lost his mind, forgetting to account for his wealth.
"Something's not right..."
Chen Xun muttered to himself, looking down. Given the current situation, with two Trash Islands in hand, how could his spirit stones be spent so quickly?
He took out a small booklet, starting to write and calculate every spirit stone he had spent.
The surrounding voices of various races no longer seemed noisy to him, and he even occasionally observed the appearances of others, finding it quite interesting.
"Not good!"
Suddenly, Chen Xun was shocked, a realization dawning upon him like a dream, his mind clearing, and he roared in a low voice, "That little girl tricked me!"
Whoosh!
A flash of light and shadow on the grand road, and Chen Xun was gone in an instant, heading towards the teleportation arrays of Chengfeng Villa...
