If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 310 Supreme Spirit Stone
Mo Changzai arrived in Meizhou soon.

Although he said that he had hidden his whereabouts, all the super sects had already known that Mo Changzai had gone to Meizhou.

Just as Ji Fa was about to build a building in the Jiuyin Land, Mo Changzai, whose feud with the Dayu Dynasty dated back thousands of years, fled to Meizhou. Everyone had a good idea of what he was doing; it couldn't be a trip, could it?

Li Yanmo hoped that Mo Chang would ask for a higher price, but Mo Chang asked for payment for the work and also wanted to bring his own materials.

Seeing that Mo Changzai was about to tear the ceiling apart, Li Yanmo could only lower his request to Mo Changzai doing it for free.

Li Yanmo couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Everyone says that Master Mo Changzai's fees are extremely high, and even the Buddhist sect hasn't paid back the money yet, so why hasn't he enjoyed any of it?
However, facing Mo Changzai's threat of paid work, Li Yanmo felt that it would be better not to ask too many questions.

Although Mo Changzai does not know Zhuge Liang's mechanical skills, he has his own way of observing the changes in the world. With his rich work experience, Mo Changzai discovered several flaws in Zhuge Moer's design.

The collaboration between geniuses in the same field is always straightforward and quick. Zhuge Moer and Mo Changzai quickly put together a new plan and listed the corresponding materials.

The main theme is still Zhuge's mechanical skills, but Mo Changzai and Zhuge Moer also considered some uncertain factors.

Meizhou's foundation-building cultivators had received a large amount of cultivation resources from the ancient caves, and Meizhou's spiritual energy was recovering at an extremely rapid rate. Under such circumstances, Meizhou was likely to see a large number of Jindan-stage cultivators appear in a short period of time, which was not a good situation.

To this end, Zhuge Moer changed Zhuge's principle of saving as much as possible in mechanical devices and magic weapons, and chose a lot of expensive materials.

Li Yanmo was afraid that the materials used were too cheap. Seeing that Zhuge Moer wanted expensive materials, Li Yanmo naturally waved his hand and took out the spirit stones obtained from the overflow of prestige experience.

"Ten billion supreme spirit stones?"

Even Mo Changzai was so frightened by Li Yanmo's attack that his eyes twitched wildly.

As a master of formations, his fee alone required 200 million Supreme Spirit Stones, but that didn't mean he thought it was too little. He set the price so high purely to trick those super sects.

Seeing Mo Changzai's frightened expression, Li Yanmo was a little confused.

Mo Changzai's spending alone cost him 200 million top-grade spirit stones, and the Buddhist sect still owes Mo Changzai a huge debt. For Mo Changzai, 10 billion top-grade spirit stones should not be a large number.

Mo Chang opened the storage bag and took out a piece of top-grade spirit stone. After looking at it for a while, he scanned the storage bag with his spiritual sense, and his expression gradually became strange.

Li Yanmo's heart skipped a beat, realizing that he seemed to have acted impulsively.

"It really is 10 billion pieces... of top-grade spirit stones."

Mo Changzai held his forehead and sighed, tightened the storage bag, and placed it in Li Yanmo's hand with great solemnity.

"Master Li, we need to talk."

"Uh...okay—"

Mo Chang created a temporary space on the spot, so solemnly that Li Yanmo became more and more certain that his action this time was a bit impulsive.

After entering the temporary space, Li Yanmo sat very obediently, while Mo Changzai paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, as if he was considering something. Li Yanmo did not urge him.

After a long while, Mo Changzai finally thought it through, "Master Li, do you know where the spirit stones came from?"

Li Yanmo scratched his head and thought for a while before he smiled awkwardly, "Earned it?"

"...That's true," Mo Changzai pulled out a square spirit stone from his bosom and tossed it. "In the beginning, spirit stones didn't look like this. Some were large, some were small. Legend has it that before the Great Wilderness, a cultivator discovered a spirit mine." "The cultivator originally planned to use the spirit mine for cultivation, but the ore was too huge. He simply couldn't absorb and refine it completely. But if he left it there, it would be discovered sooner or later, so the cultivator came up with an idea."

"He broke the spiritual ore into pieces and sold the fragments to other monks."

"Even though it was shattered, the spiritual energy within the spiritual ore wouldn't dissipate, so that cultivator made a fortune. He relied on the various materials and magical treasures he obtained in exchange for the spiritual ore fragments to become one of the most powerful cultivators of the time. But as the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. He was too greedy, so he was targeted and met an untimely death, and his wealth became someone else's wedding dress."

Mo Changzai shook his head helplessly.

At this time, the girl on the foundation-building platform exclaimed, "I know this person."

Li Yanmo's heart moved.

"Your acquaintance?"

"I was the one who caused his death."

"..."

Nvyao sensed Li Yanmo's speechless expression and immediately began to explain, "That man has always coveted my beauty and wanted to rape me by relying on his magical treasures. It just so happened that I was a little short of money at the time."

"He wanted to rob me of my body, and I wanted to rob me of my money. It was simply fate!"

"So I killed him."

Li Yanmo was speechless, but he didn't forget the important matter at hand. "Then what?"

"With this person starting things off, everyone naturally discovered the new value of spirit ore, and thus the spirit stone trading system was established. However, it was still quite chaotic at the time, and it wasn't until the Great Shun Dynasty became powerful that the value of spirit stones was standardized."

Mo Changzai put down the low-grade spirit stone in his hand, and took out the medium-grade spirit stone and the high-grade spirit stone.

Low-grade spirit stones look like jade, but are turbid and opaque inside. Medium-grade spirit stones are more transparent than low-grade spirit stones, and high-grade spirit stones are extremely transparent.

The value of all three is visible to the naked eye.

"But spiritual ore doesn't exist to be used as currency for cultivators. It nourishes the world and is the nutrient that heaven and earth prepare for the living beings of this world."

"The monks mined too much spiritual ore, causing the heaven and earth to dry up. That was the beginning of the Great Desolation. Unfortunately, the monks were so greedy that they didn't care about the consequences of extracting spiritual ore."

"The Great Shun Dynasty did not realize that the cultivators' wanton extraction of spiritual mines was the main reason for the advent of the Great Desolation. In order to develop, the Great Shun Dynasty is also looking for participating spiritual mines."

"During this process, four grades of spirit stones appeared according to the preciousness of the spirit ore."

Li Yanmo knew that Mo Chang’s next words would be the key point, so he immediately focused his attention.

"Low grade, medium grade, high grade, top grade."

"The Great Shun Dynasty set the value of different grades of spirit stones and the exchange rate. But this does not mean that ten low-grade spirit stones are worth more than one medium-grade spirit stone, nor does it mean that one thousand low-grade spirit stones can buy you a top-grade spirit stone."

Mo Changzai raised his hand and patted Li Yanmo's shoulder heavily, speaking earnestly.

"Only supreme spiritual ore can produce supreme spiritual stones. Spiritual ore is the nutrient used by heaven and earth to nourish a certain world. One piece of supreme spiritual ore is enough to produce tens of thousands of acres of supreme spiritual fields. Anyone, even an immortal, who sees supreme spiritual ore, will first react to extract it and place it in their own sect, rather than breaking it into square spiritual stones."

Li Yanmo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and finally understood why Mo Changzai had that expression when he saw the 10 billion pieces of top-grade spirit stones.
