Chapter 404: Priority in Mining

“Spirit stones?”
What did she mean by giving spirit stones??
Jiang Li did not quite understand what she meant. He looked at the few people below and confirmed that he did not know them at all.
Apart from Leng Tou, there were twelve super experts with deep auras and immense spiritual qi.
They did not seem to be from the same faction. Just like the flying ships parked outside, they were from twelve factions.
However, the flag patterns on the flying ships parked in the spaceport and floating in the sky seemed familiar.
Earlier, he was concerned about the Great Mountain Alliance and did not check properly.
Now, looking outside, he matched the patterns on it with the few names in his memory. Even with his temperament, his pupils could not help but contract.
Those flying ships were all from high-grade Divine Judgment factions in the Divine Judgment Hall.
‘They were the kind of factions that the Myriad Slaughter Sect would not dare to fart when they saw any of them.
‘There were a total of 120 ships from twelve high-grade Divine Judgment ships, and each had ten. As long as one observed the flying status of those flying ships slightly, they would know that they were all fully loaded.
The people from the Cloud Manor had no reason to lie to him. Could it be that these people were really here to give him spirit stones? Why?
“Could it be the Rock Mountain Range?”
Jiang Li suddenly thought of something and looked at the Cloud Manor’s Servant Hongxia.
Up until now, the only place that could allow Jiang Li’s Great Mountain Alliance to be related to the Cloud Manor and even these great powers was this place.
Previously, Jiang Li had provided information about the power of chaos related to the blood of madness to the Cloud Manor that could restrain the Armored Trolls.
‘That extremely important piece of information was exchanged for many things.
‘They let the Great Mountain Alliance directly join the Divine Judgment Hall and let Cloud Manor personally mediate the invasion of the Myriad Slaughter Sect.
He also obtained the ownership of the area in the Rock Mountain Range and got Cloud Manor to agree to excavate that area with the Great Mountain Alliance.
Although the development of the Cloud Manor was mostly dominated by the Great Mountain Alliance, it was still a very terrifying benefit. This was because every polluted stone could be sold for spirit stones.
“That’s right. At the highest meeting of the Divine Judgment Hall, the Cloud Manor has already shared that information with all the forces above the Divine Judgment realm.”
“They are willing to pay the price in exchange for seven days of priority mining.”
“Every family has already handed over a hundred ships of spirit stones to the Cloud Manor. The area of the Rock Mountain Range is now the territory of the Great Mountain Alliance. You naturally deserve this portion.”
Jiang Li almost choked on this Senior Hongxia’s words. Did they use ships to calculate the units of spirit stones?
Top forces were indeed great forces. Compared to the Great Mountain Region, which only had four spirit stone mines, spirit stones were probably not precious to these top forces.
In fact, the reason why they could use spirit stones to exchange for the priority mining rights should be because of their status and contributions in the Divine Judgment Hall.
It was the benefit they enjoyed as the factions of the highest authority.
The forces below them were not even qualified to know this information now.
‘After the Rock Mountain Range was divided by top factions like them, it would be the other people’s turn to pay the entrance fee.
At that time, not only would they have to buy admission tickets, but they would also have to pay additional fees when they had the gains.
Thinking about it, the spirit stones contained in these hundreds of ships could not be considered much.
“Everyone, he’s already here. Quickly take out the spirit stones.”
After Hongxia explained roughly to Jiang Li, she looked at the high-grade Divine Judgment envoys below.
‘The twelve people sitting at the table were extremely unyielding to outsiders.
However, they naturally showed different attitudes towards different people.
‘The reason why the three divine pillars were the three divine pillars was not because they were easy-going.
In the Eastern Region, no one dared to not give the Cloud Manor face.
‘When they heard the envoy of the Cloud Manor, they retracted their unfriendly gazes. Then, they used various methods to send a signal to the flying ship outside.
After receiving the order, the flying ships parked in the spaceport immediately opened the cabin.
In the next moment, spiritual light shone in his eyes.
Countless spirit stones poured out of the cabin.
These flying ships were actually filled with spirit stones.
A large number of spirit stones covered the ground, and then they piled higher and higher. Jiang Li did not know how much full capacity the 50 flying ships had. In any case, when they poured down, even if the entire spaceport was completely flattened, the height would still be more than ten feet.
The 50 flying ships rose into the sky, and the other 50 landed. They repeated their actions and poured out full of spirit stones.
Looking at the spiritual light emitted from it, it was actually not only low-grade spirit stones. There were also many medium-grade and even high-grade spirit stones mixed in.
‘That scene made many of the cultivators of the Great Mountain Alliance, who had never seen such a thing, unable to control their breathing. Looking at the mountain-like pile, they could not tell if they were dreaming or experiencing reality.
“Perhaps, it’s more likely to be real. After all, how can I have such a crazy dream?”
Even the situation of the elders guarding the door was not much better. Even if they sold the entire Great Mountain Alliance, they would probably not be able to get so many spirit stones.
In the entire mountain, the only person who was still calm was probably Jiang Li.
After all, he had two eternal statuses that continuously produced top-grade spiritual qi and top-grade chaotic power in his body.
As his strength increased, this status could also be continuously upgraded.
In terms of spiritual qi, he was not inferior to anyone.
“Since the spirit stones have been delivered, we’ll take our leave. We still have a lot to do regarding the mining of the Rock Mountain Range.”
‘The twelve high-grade Divine Judgment forces did not care much about Jiang Li and the Great Mountain Alliance. Even if Jiang Li was related to the Cloud Manor, he was still not worth paying attention to before he had sufficient strength.
Moreover, there were only seven days. Every moment was extremely valuable. Each flying ship was an important transportation tool.
The 120 flying ships accelerated and left, leaving behind the dumbfounded cultivators of the Great Mountain Alliance.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and store them. There’s no need to cover the ground with spirit stones.”
It was not until Jiang Li reminded that the cultivators of the Great Mountain Alliance finally packed up.
Ahundred and twenty ships of spirit stones, there had to be… at least a few billion, right?
If they wanted to store these spirit stones, they would probably have to build a new warehouse.
“alliance Leader Jiang, you are indeed a genius of the current generation. The first time I saw you, I felt that this young man would definitely have great achievements in the future.”
“How long has it been? You’ve already surpassed my expectations. This is the low-grade Divine Judgment Token of the Divine Judgment Hall. I’ve never had the chance to hand it to you. I can personally give it to you today.”
“However, I think this token will expire as soon as it’s handed to you. Because of the current merit of the Great Mountain Alliance, you can completely be promoted to a medium-grade Divine Judgment. As long as you make the request, I can settle it for you in the afternoon.”
‘The person who spoke was the Divine Judgment Hall’s Phoenix Sun City Branch’s Manager, Leng Tou.
He handed Jiang Lia token. No matter how Jiang Li was related to the Cloud Manor or what his ability was, as long as he maintained a good relationship with the Cloud Manor and always held the place called the Rock Mountain Range, Jiang Li and the forces behind him would rise up in the Eastern Region
with unstoppable momentum.
After all, with such benefits, even pigs could turn into super powerful pig demons.
Leng Tou was different from those high-grade Divine Judgment factions who did not care about anything. If he wanted to be the distribution manager, he had to build a good relationship with everyone.
It was not like he would lose anything to encourage and encourage newcomers with potential.
As for the merit points, it was clearly the Cloud Manor’s doing.
“Manager Leng, you’re too polite. I was just lucky. However, the Great Mountain Alliance doesn’t have the ability to shoulder a greater responsibility. We’ll talk about the matter of the medium-grade Divine Judgment promotion in the future.”
“In addition, I’ll have to seek your care in Phoenix Sun City.”
The two sides were not too familiar with each other. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they sent Leng Tou away, leaving only Hongxia from the Cloud Manor.
‘There were only the two of them left in the meeting room, and some things became much easier to talk about.
“Senior Hongxia, thank you for your help this time.”
Jiang Li thanked her sincerely, but the other party smiled and shook her head.
“You deserve this, don’t you?”
If it was any other faction, even if they were willing to cooperate, they would definitely think of ways to devour the weak until not even bones were left.
However, the Cloud Manor, which cultivated a special cultivation method, was directly related to the Heavenly Dao’s merit. It would be more particular.
Moreover, in their eyes, they looked down on these hundreds of millions of benefits, and it was not worth offending a successor of the Human Emperor who was drowned in the power of merit.
“Also, keep most of it for yourself. Giving too much to the Great Mountain Alliance on the surface might not be a good thing.”
Before Jiang Li could speak, the other party handed over a small pouch. This was obviously a storage artifact.
After Jiang Li received it, he sensed it for a moment and discovered that the space inside was not small, and it similarly contained a large number of spirit stones.
The number was more than twice that of the spirit stones poured out of the spaceport.
It turned out that Cloud Manor’s intention to share the benefits with the Great Mountain Region or Jiang Li was not 9:1, but 7:3.
On the surface, they would give less than 10% to the Great Mountain Alliance to prevent attracting too much greed.
In private, they handed the other 20% to Jiang Li alone. Even he was a little overwhelmed by this gesture.
This was the same reason as Jiang Li’s refusal to promote the Great Mountain Alliance to a medium-grade Divine Judgment.
The current Great Mountain Alliance did not lack resources. There was no need to suffer great danger and losses for that bit of treatment.
Jiang Li did not hesitate to put the pouch into the coffin.
“In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony.”
“In addition, can Senior tell me about those seven days?”
Jiang Li was also very interested in the meeting at the Divine Judgment Hall’s headquarters, so he asked the other party about the details.
Due to the importance of this information, he naturally could not throw it all out.
However, this information was of such value because it could be of great help to everyone.
Therefore, it had to be publicized in the end.
It was just that the sequence of releasing this knowledge involved great benefits.
There was no need to mention the three divine pillars. Under them, the twelve high-grade Divine Judgment factions were the first group to know the secret.
Moreover, they needed to be given a certain amount of time to convert information into practical advantage.
Therefore, they used a large number of spirit stones and resources to exchange for the seven days of mining time.
In the next seven days, the twelve high-grade Divine Judgment factions would be fully responsible for cleaning up the invading creatures of the other world in the Rock Mountain Range.
After that, they would return the cleaned up Rock Mountain Range to the Great Mountain Alliance.
This was a good thing for the Great Mountain Alliance, who was unable to deal with the invasion of the Asura World.
After that piece of information was released, the originally thankless task became a beneficial one for everyone.
Every Asura creature that invaded could be crushed after drawing blood and made into more than ten weapons that could deal with the Armored Trolls.
The Blood Fighting Arena was strong, and Vemacitrin was powerful, but that was only for Jiang Li. It could even suppress the Myriad Slaughter Sect, which was a medium-grade Divine Judgment faction.
However, the twelve high-grade Divine Judgment factions and even the three divine pillars had taken action.
Unless the Blood Fighting Arena was willing to contribute to the spatial crack and let the power of the entire Asura World invade, it was impossible to be their match.
These seven days would definitely be a destructive mining operation, but Jiang Li did not care.
Behind the spatial crack was an entire world.
The power of chaos and the blood of madness were endless.
Even if they were too heavy-handed and destroyed the spatial crack, Jiang Li could just open another one.
The only thing Jiang Li had to worry about was not letting the twelve high-grade Divine Judgment factions obtain too many materials.
He did not expect to earn the money of these twelve families, but it was best if the materials for the blood of madness in the hands of the twelve high-level Divine Judgment factions were only enough for themselves.
If they gathered too many materials in seven days with their methods and could sell them out, it would easily affect the price of the subsequent materials.
This purely beneficial transaction would become greatly affected.
Jiang Li secretly calculated. Although the creatures in the Blood Plains would continue to be reborn, there was still a limit to that number for a period of time.
Coupled with the existence of Jiang Li’s yaksha clone, this traitor, he had not been stingy with pocketing benefits during this period of time.
Halfway through, they captured countless wandering Asura creatures, causing the number of monsters to decrease.
Moreover, after gaining a foothold, there were also orders to retrieve the corpses in the Blood Fighting Arena and bring them back to refine the blood of madness.
Therefore, the Asura World creatures wandering in the Rock Mountain Range and the scattered flesh were not as many as they had imagined.
Even if they took away all this flesh and blood, with the scale of the high-grade Divine Judgment factions, it was probably only enough. They would not sell such strategic supplies for the spirit stones that they did not care about.
Therefore, Jiang Li had to be as vigilant as possible and not let them pass through the spatial crack to kill their way back to the Asura World.
That would bring many terrible outcomes that he could not foresee.
If these large factions transported back the lake-like blood pool, he would not be able to monopolize the business.
The information he provided had already contributed greatly to the cultivation world of the Eastern Region.
Occasionally, he could be selfish and retain his own benefits. He believed that even the gods would forgive him..
