The air was somewhat quiet.

The sunlight in the square was still bright, and a few unidentified white birds flew over the city wall, leaving behind two short cries.

Mo Qianjun and the others exchanged a glance, conveying a subtle meaning.

Then, Mo Qianjun coughed lightly, breaking the silence first.

The white-haired old man carefully chose his words, his tone tinged with uncertainty. "Young master, the Sound Transmission Jade Token you mentioned, capable of covering the entire Eastern Domain and even a wider area, is indeed worthy of being crafted. However... a Sound Transmission Jade Token with such a wide range requires extremely high-quality Divine Soul Jade as its main material, and the Runes drawn on it are also quite complex. The price of the finished product would probably be comparable to a Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Yang, wanting to see how Lu Yang would react.

After all, who would be willing to pay a price comparable to Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure for a mere Sound Transmission Jade Token?

However, upon hearing this, Lu Yang smiled and casually replied, "As long as it can be refined, the price doesn't matter."

For Lu Yang, the Sound Transmission Jade Token was used to contact his lovers, so naturally, the higher the quality, the better.

As for the price... what he has in abundance right now is Spirit Stones.

Mo Qianjun and the others exchanged bewildered glances. "..."

Are there really people who would use top-grade Divine Soul Jade to craft Sound Transmission Jade Token, something that's practically useless?

Seeing that the others remained silent, Lu Yang they didn't believe he had enough Spirit Stones.

He smiled and asked, "Elder Mo, could you give me a specific price?"

Mo Qianjun took a deep breath, then said solemnly, "Our Heavenly Craft Mystic Sect's treasury contains top-grade Divine Soul Jade. If we refine it and inscribe Runes on it, the finished product can cover up to two great domains, which is the limit of our refining techniques. As for the price, this level of Sound Transmission Jade Token is quite difficult to refine, and the materials used are also very valuable... One would cost approximately 500,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones."

Mu Yunxue, who had remained silent until now, couldn't help but show a flicker of emotion in her usually cold eyes upon hearing the offer.

500,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, that's a whopping 50 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones!

Keep in mind that a Supreme-Grade Law Artifact only costs tens of thousands of Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

For that price, you could buy a pretty good Spirit Treasure!

Now it's only being used to buy a single Sound Transmission Jade Token?

Even someone as aloof as Mu Yunxue felt it was a waste.

In the past, she wouldn't have bothered to talk about other people's business.

After all, she had no interest in or concern for other people's affairs.

However, since the other party was Lu Yang, she couldn't help but instinctively send a telepathic Sound Dao: "Junior Brother Lu... is it really necessary to buy such a high-level Sound Transmission Jade Token?"

Lu Yang glanced at Mu Yunxue with some surprise.

Sunlight shone on her fair profile, her pretty face still as cold and aloof as snow, only her cherry lips were slightly pursed, her expression a little solemn.

Based on his understanding of Mu Yunxue, this ice-cold senior sister didn't seem to be the type to persuade others.

I never expected to say that to him.

A slight smile played on his lips as he Sound Dao, "What? Senior Sister Mu, are you worried about me wasting Spirit Stones?"

Mu Yunxue: "..."

She glanced at Lu Yang, pursed her lips, and, as always, said earnestly and frankly, "It's a bit... too expensive."

Hearing Mu Yunxue's sincere and calm tone, devoid of any shyness, Lu Yang couldn't help but grin.

Is this senior student being direct again?

He gently Sound Dao, "Senior Sister, don't worry, these Spirit Stones are nothing to me."

Seeing Lu Yang's response, Mu Yunxue didn't press the matter further, simply nodding slightly, "Mm."

Duan Heng and the others were all Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, so they could naturally sense the soul fluctuations between Lu Yang and Mu Yunxue.

They were all old folks who had lived for so long, so they naturally understood that they were discussing whether or not to buy the Sound Transmission Jade Token.

To be honest, even though they were master craftsmen who had forged various Law Treasures for many powerful individuals and were quite knowledgeable, they still felt there was no need to buy such a Sound Transmission Jade Token.

That's such a waste.

In their view, Lu Yang would ultimately choose the inferior Sound Transmission Jade Token.

However, Lu Yang nodded calmly and said casually, "This size will do. Give me forty. Do you have any in stock?"

Lu Yang currently has over 1.9 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones and over 4 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

In total, there are over 2.3 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

However, there is a certain premium when exchanging Mid-Grade Spirit Stones for Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Lu Yang calculated it as 20 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

That's enough to buy about 40 Sound Transmission Jade Token.

In fact, Lu Yang doesn't need that many Sound Transmission Jade Token right now.

After all, this Sound Transmission Jade Token was only meant for Lu Yang himself, a few of his lovers, the Lu Household, and Li Ao.

However, who knows if there will be more concubines or more servants and subordinates in the future?

It's always good to have it on hand, just in case.

Anyway, he plans to use this transaction to get a rebate, so he'll definitely spend as much as he can.

Mu Yunxue: "????"

Duan Heng and others. "????"

Lu Yang's words left everyone present wide-eyed and filled with questions.

Even with Mu Yunxue's aloof nature, she looked at Lu Yang with disbelief.

She originally thought that Lu Yang would at most buy two or three of these high-level Sound Transmission Jade Tokens.

You're giving me forty coins right off the bat?!

That adds up to a whopping twenty million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!

Let alone Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, even a powerful cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm probably couldn't come up with that many Spirit Stones!

Mu Yunxue opened her mouth, wanting to try to persuade her again, but in the end she didn't say anything.

After spending some time together, she had come to understand Junior Brother Lu's personality somewhat.

Once he's made a decision, he won't easily change it.

And...

Given Junior Brother Lu's background and status, taking out these Mid-Grade Spirit Stones might not be too much of a burden for him.

Although Mu Yunxue felt a pang of heartache, she ultimately held back.

Mo Qianjun and the others, however, did not feel sorry for him.

They were completely bewildered.

Even though they've been refining weapons for hundreds of years, they've never seen a customer like Lu Yang!

A single order worth a full twenty million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones would only happen in strategic transactions between sects!

This kind of deal might only happen once in a century!

This time, it was a personal transaction!

One person's Spirit Stones are equivalent to the strategic reserves of a top sect.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Even if Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator commissioned them to refine magic Law Treasure, they wouldn't place such a large order!

However, Duan Heng was, after all, the leader of the Heavenly Craft Mystic Sect. He quickly regained his composure, and a friendly, businessman-like smile immediately appeared on his face, his eyes almost disappearing with laughter.

His voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement as he said, "Young Master, 40 top-grade Sound Transmission Jade Tokens will cost 20 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. Are you sure?"

Lu Yang nodded, his tone firm yet calm. "Of course. It would be best if you had it in stock. I'll pay with Spirit Stones now."

Upon hearing this, Duan Heng's bright smile froze, turning into a wry smile.

He waved his hands repeatedly, his tone apologetic, "Young master is too kind. No one has ever bought Sound Transmission Jade Token of this quality before. You are the first. How could we possibly have one in stock?"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, crafting Sound Transmission Jade Token isn't as complicated as crafting Law Treasure. The few of us can work together, and with our full effort, we can complete it in just three months!"

Lu Yang frowned. "So long?"

He thought for a moment and then asked, "How long would it take to refine ten?"

In the early stages, ten should be enough. He can take some first and refine the rest slowly.

Upon hearing this, Duan Heng immediately replied, "Ten of them can be refined in less than a month."

Lu Yang nodded slightly. "Then refine ten for me first. I'll wait for you in Heavenly Craft City."

Duan Heng quickly replied with a smile, "No problem! Of course, no problem!"

He paused, rubbed his hands together, his smile growing even warmer, and carefully chose his tone as he asked, "However... how shall we proceed with the payment? Could you perhaps pay a deposit first, young master?"

Lu Yang glanced at Duan Heng and chuckled, "No need for that. Let's pay in full at once; I'll give it to you now."

Just kidding, he was planning to use this transaction to get a rebate, so naturally he wouldn't split the payment.

Mo Heng and the others. "????"

They were all numb.

Having worked as a weapon refiner for so many years, I know that when customizing magical Law Treasure, the usual procedure is to pay a deposit first, and then pay the balance after completion and inspection.

They can actually understand this.

After all, no one's Spirit Stones come from thin air, so naturally, risks must be considered.

If the product produced doesn't meet your needs, and you've already paid in full upfront, you'll be completely ripped off.

And this young master's Spirit Stone seemed to have been blown in by a strong wind.

They were incredibly generous.

I paid the full amount before even receiving the goods.

This is a customer they could never have dreamed of!

Mo Qianjun immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Young Master, rest assured, we will do our utmost! We will refine ten Sound Transmission Jade Tokens for you as quickly as possible!"

Lu Yang nodded and chuckled, "As long as you take it to heart."

Afterwards, Lu Yang and his group went to a private reception room in the manor.

The reception room was quite spacious and equipped with several layers of soundproofing and defensive arrays, preventing any outside noise from entering.

Based on the exchange rate Mid-Grade Spirit Stone and Low-Grade Spirit Stones, 105 Low-Grade Spirit Stones can be exchanged for 1 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.

Lu Yang used 1.9 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones to exchange for the item. If that wasn't enough, he made up the difference with Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, resulting in a total of 20 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

In this way, the rebate will also be in the form of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

Although it appears that Lu Yang spent more Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

However, the rebate is in the form of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, which is enough to make up for the loss, and there might even be more.

Not to mention, the uses of Low-Grade Spirit Stones are far less extensive than those of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

For Lu Yang, exchanging them for Mid-Grade Spirit Stones would only bring benefits.

When the mountain of Spirit Stones poured out of Lu Yang's storage ring, the entire reception room was filled with the light of the Spirit Stones.

A dense, almost viscous Spiritual Qi rose from the pile of Spirit Stones, transforming into a layer of pale white mist visible to the naked eye under the indoor lights, slowly swirling around.

Duan Heng and the others put away the mountain of Spirit Stones, their smiles never fading.

After carefully storing the Spirit Stones, they couldn't wait to take their leave and go back to refine the Sound Transmission Jade Token.

He solemnly instructed Zhang Chi to treat Lu Yang with utmost hospitality.
