Fine, I Won't Take a Loss This Time!

Qin Xiangqian also gave a detailed explanation regarding the hoarding of Blood Spirit Stones by aristocratic families.

Qin Xiangqian stated that the purpose of the aristocratic families acquiring and hoarding Blood Spirit Stones Blood Spirit Stone not to inflate their prices.

Although there have been countless instances throughout history of powerful families colluding to inflate prices and ultimately exploit consumers, that's all in the past.

Now, if they want to drive up prices, they'll have to ask our Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce for permission first.

However, this time the aristocratic families' acquisition of Blood Spirit Stones was not actually for the purpose of driving up prices.

The reason why the aristocratic families do this is because of the unique effects of the Blood Spirit Stone.

Blood Spirit Stones are among the few Spirit Power does not dissipate!

As we all know, regardless of its level, a spirit stone will naturally release its Spirit Power into the outside world over time, even if you don't use it at all.

The lower the grade of the spirit stone, the faster its Spiritual Qi dissipates.

The powerful families possess countless spirit stone resources. Although they have also built some low-level treasure vaults to prevent the dissipation of spirit Spirit Power, their effectiveness is definitely not comparable to that of the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Therefore, every year, the aristocratic families suffer countless losses just from the dissipation of spiritual Spiritual Qi from the spirit stones.

It wasn't until later that people discovered the characteristic of Blood Spirit Stones that their Spiritual Qi wouldn't dissipate. Although the Spiritual Qi Blood Spirit Stones wouldn't dissipate, the aristocratic families didn't acquire Blood Spirit Stones immediately.

The reason is simple... As we all know, there are two ways to obtain Blood Spirit Stones: the first is by directly obtaining them from mines, and the second is through the unique ability of the Evil God's Fang.

When Blood Spirit Stones first appeared, the vast majority of Blood Spirit Stone were controlled by the Vast Heaven Holy Land, with the remainder going to the Demonic Sect and the mineral resources of the Martial Emperor City.

In this situation, even powerful families aren't fools. They know that no matter how good something is, if it's monopolized, you should never touch it!

For example, if the exchange rate of Blood Spirit Stone is one Blood Spirit Stone to one hundred normal Spirit Stones, then powerful families would all enter the market and exchange all their Spirit Stone resources for Blood Spirit Stones!

But what if you've just made the exchange, Vast Heaven Holy Land announces that you can only choose fifty spirit stones from one Blood Spirit Stone? Tell me, what are you going to do?

The main reason why the aristocratic families did not act immediately was that the pricing of Blood Spirit Stones was controlled by a few people, and the aristocratic families would not touch it because the risk was too great and they could easily be exploited by the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

However, as the Spiritual Qi of the Three Continents continued to recover, more Blood Spirit Stones were discovered. After the major forces of the Three Continents acquired a considerable amount of Blood Spirit Stones, although the Vast Heaven Holy Land still dominated the production of Blood Spirit Stones, it became much more difficult for the Vast Heaven Holy Land to exploit them at this time.

Therefore, after the price of Blood Spirit Stones stabilized, the aristocratic families quietly began to exchange all their ordinary spirit stones for Blood Spirit Stones through various channels.

Those powerful families are all shrewd old foxes. They didn't go out of their way to acquire the company from various powerful forces, because they were afraid that if the news leaked, they would be ripped off by those forces.

The powerful families used their various channels to break down their holdings into smaller parts, and eventually succeeded in exchanging all their spirit stones for Blood Spirit Stones, which were easy to store and had a stable price.

Although the powerful families handled this matter very discreetly, they still couldn't escape Qin Xiangqian's notice.

Qin Xiangqian didn't bother to question the practices of these aristocratic families, as their habit of hoarding resources had been a long-standing tradition.

It wouldn't have been a problem for aristocratic families to hoard Blood Spirit Stones, but the problem now is... the earth's veins are shifting, and Blood Spirit Stones are absolutely necessary. Although the Vast Heaven Holy Land has a huge amount of Blood Spirit Stones, it's not enough to support the deployment of the Reverse Spirit Formation across the entire Three Continents. Under these circumstances, the only way to obtain a large number of Blood Spirit Stones in the short term is to take them from the aristocratic families.

The problem is, all the bigwigs present understand that while the Same Lifespan as Heaven and Earth Plan didn't cause the aristocratic families any losses, their relationships had reached a freezing point. Now, you're asking them to help by contributing Blood Spirit Stones? Do you think those families would willingly do so?

Even without the "Same Lifespan as Heaven and Earth" Same Lifespan as Heaven and Earth, in this situation, the powerful families would still try to profit from everyone. So, under these circumstances... the problem has become extremely complicated.

"We'll each go and talk to those powerful families. They have no choice but to agree. If they don't, then don't blame us for taking action!" Tantai Jing was the first to speak.

As for Tantai Jing's statement, although many bigwigs wanted to agree, the problem was that, putting aside the question of whether it was a righteous Demonic Sect, they were hesitant.

Do you think this matter is really that simple?

Those Blood Spirit Stone families didn't steal or rob; they bought them with resources... Under these circumstances, would they really agree to hand them over?

You think you can just start a war if they don't agree? You're underestimating the power of aristocratic families...

Do you think these aristocratic families are just ordinary aristocratic families? Let alone our Tantai Jing path, look at the two Demonic Sect elders following you, they both come from some aristocratic family.

Will they agree to your method?

How many of the bigwigs present are from prestigious families? Wouldn't things fall into chaos if a war broke out?

For example, Zheng Yu Zheng Lineage from a prestigious family. Given Zheng Yu's current status in Martial Emperor City, he should indeed prioritize Martial Emperor City in everything he does. But if the Zheng Lineage really encounters problems, will Zheng Yu completely stand idly by?

You have to put in some effort, right?

If one day the Zheng Lineage is discovered to be practicing evil and heretical arts, and various unorthodox cultivation methods are exposed, then Zheng Yu standing up to put aside his own family for the greater good is perfectly justifiable.

But now, if the Zheng Lineage forced to hand over their resources simply because they exchanged them for Blood Spirit Stones, and if Zheng Lineage refuse, Martial Emperor City will send troops to attack their Zheng Lineage, do you think Zheng Yu would agree to that?

Zheng Yu is just a microcosm of Martial Emperor City and aristocratic families. The major powers are basically the same. If we really do as Tantai Jing said, we don't know if we can get the Blood Spirit Stone, but the Three Continents will definitely be in chaos.

At that point, it will be a situation that no one can control.

Let alone outsiders, even Elder Yu the Vast Heaven Holy Land comes from a prestigious family. What? Are you suggesting Elder Yu lead a team to rob their Yu Lineage?

The first sword strike after landing—slay one's own people?

So why have these powerful families persisted for so many years, even growing stronger, yet no one has been able to do anything to them?

The reason is that when you want to make a move against a powerful family, you have to take a look at whether everyone around you comes from a powerful family!

Even if someone were powerful enough to wipe out the powerful families of the Three Continents single-handedly, it would be meaningless, because even if all the powerful families were destroyed now, new powerful families would be born in the Future.

The reason is simple: even if there were a force whose members were not from aristocratic families, and which could wipe out the aristocratic families through sheer force, wouldn't the descendants of those powerful figures from that force become the new aristocratic families a hundred years later?

Who will wipe out these new powerful families by then?

So at this moment, the entire Haotian Grand Hall fell silent... Regardless of whether they came from noble families, the big shots achieved their current status not only because of their strength, but also because of their understanding.

Everyone knows that powerful clans cannot be easily subdued! Even if they were, new powerful clans would emerge, and the cycle would continue...

Even Zheng Yu and the other young people fell silent at this moment...

What the hell? Why is Zheng Yu silent? What else can he do but stay silent? Should we send Zheng Yu to their house and Zheng Lineage them to hand over the Blood Spirit Stone? If they don't, should we have Zheng Yu slaughter their entire Zheng Lineage?

Or should you go and bring your family's Blood Spirit Stones first?

What the hell? You say you're not from a noble family? Fine... Brother, you're brave, I have faith in you. Here's the deal: I'll leave the task of dealing with the noble families to you. But take a look around you, many of those prodigies around you come from noble families. You lead them to wipe out their families, and see who ends up dying!

How many times have the major powers suffered at the hands of the powerful families? But what could they possibly achieve in the end? Aside from temporarily restraining the powerful families in certain ways and forcing them to make some concessions, there were no other results whatsoever!

As the old saying goes, it's not that I'm afraid of a strong opponent, it's that I'm afraid of an opponent who is your mother! It's not that I'm afraid of a fierce opponent, it's that I'm afraid of an opponent who is your father!

Even Cheng Xiaotian, the Martial Emperor City Lord, comes from a prestigious family. However, now that he is the Martial Emperor City Lord, he must act from the perspective of Martial Emperor City. Doesn't Cheng Xiaotian realize that dealing with prestigious families is becoming increasingly difficult?

The problem is, apart from living as long as Same Lifespan as Heaven and Earth, you simply can't find any other way to deal with powerful families and make them suffer in silence!

"Brother Tantai, don't be so murderous... Things haven't gotten to that point yet. They bought the Blood Spirit Stones with real money, why should we rob them? Just buy them!"

Chu Xinghe spoke slowly, and upon hearing his words, Tantai Jing Chu Xinghe his head helplessly.

Tantai Jing exclaimed, "Chu Xinghe, what happened to the Aristocratic Family Killer you were promised? Is this all you've got?"

"Senior Brother Shen Chun!"

"Hey, Junior Brother Xinghe!"

"Please ask Senior Brother Shen Chun to help send out invitations to all the aristocratic families in the world, and have them select a few representatives to come to the Vast Heaven Holy Land. I, Chu Xinghe, will personally discuss the matter of Blood Spirit Stones with them. Our Vast Heaven Holy Land will provide resources to purchase Blood Spirit Stones from them!"

"Okay!" Shen Chun nodded and immediately went to take care of it.

As Shen Chun went to handle his business, the meeting temporarily adjourned, and Vast Heaven Holy Land provided accommodations for the bigwigs from all sides.

However, it was clear that none of the bigwigs were very enthusiastic.

Because many powerful figures understand that this battle... although it hasn't even started yet, the major forces have already lost!

Faced with the deeply entrenched powerful families, even the Aristocratic Family Killer Chu Xinghe had no choice but to bow down and spend resources to acquire those Blood Spirit Stones from the various families.

But everyone understands that Chu Xinghe has no choice. After all, aristocratic families are not just a powerful force. Their members are spread across all the major and minor forces in the Three Continents, and countless of them hold high positions. This is almost an unsolvable situation!

Chu Xinghe didn't know what an unsolvable situation was, Chu Xinghe also felt a bit frustrated...

Although our Vast Heaven Holy Land is definitely losing big this time by acquiring Blood Spirit Stones, just look at how the Misfortune Compass is spinning like crazy!

The problem is, I, Chu Xinghe, also can't stand these powerful families. As the saying goes, there are losses and gains!

If you're going to talk about other losses in this round, I, Chu Xinghe, am willing to accept them, and I'm overjoyed by them!

But to be manipulated by powerful families like this is a huge loss. For the first time, I feel like I've suffered a terrible loss. I might as well not have lost at all!
