Currency War: Spirit-Infused Stones & Demonic Spirit Stones

Hey, Little C, we're Heavy Tomato User video-sharing platform). How dare you direct traffic to Douyin (TikTok) without our permission!

As for Little B, don't you have any self-awareness?

Defeating Gu Wusuan has already cost me a hand, and I've also used the Sword Talisman Jiang Mutian gave me...

Lu Ping silently chose A.

[You chose A.]

[Free options won't work; you need to pay for them.]

[Just repeat it silently in your mind.]

[Early Leave.]

[In the next instant, the Mystic Nether Pavilion before you, the poisonous mist covering the ground, and the several attacks that appeared out of nowhere all vanished.]

[You felt as if you were escaping from an extremely exhausting Overtime, and calmly pushed open the office door.]

When you opened your eyes again, you were already far away from Doushu City.

[You subconsciously scanned the Storage Ring with your Divine Sense.]

[This time, 3,200 Low-Grade Spirit Stones are missing.]

[People who earn 3,000 a month will cry when they see this number...]

[You look around; it's a desolate wilderness. The suffocating stench of blood from Doushu City is long gone.]

[Recall the moment you escaped.]

[Those old foxes hiding in the shadows finally couldn't hold back any longer and made their move, unleashing several devastating attacks directly at your courtyard.]

[Too bad, no matter how fast they are, they can't outpace your "Early Leave".]

Want to keep a worker who's determined to leave work? Dream on.

You looked down at your right hand.

[Having taken that fatal blow from Gu Wusuan, half of his arm was completely shredded. Now only a few Dark Gold bone fragments are sticking out, looking rather eerie when the wind blows.]

[You flicked your left wrist, pulled out a Pills, and popped it into your mouth.]

[Pseudo- Taiyi Origin-Returning Pill.]

[The Pills, upon entering the mouth, transformed into immense life force, surging along the meridians to the right hand.]

[In a short while, flesh buds began to wriggle on the Dark Gold hand bones, and fresh flesh quickly grew from them.]

[You flexed your As-If-First fingers, your knuckles cracking as you clenched them.]

[Resurrecting the dead, healing flesh and bones. My senior sister is the most reliable. You secretly admire her.]

[You shameless person have seamlessly immersed yourself in a role without even realizing it.]

Lu Ping: "..."

Lu Ping wanted to throw the "Commercial Espionage" label in Tongzi's face and never have to put up with this nonsense again.

Salty Fish, effective.

Lu Ping flashed a standard eight-tooth smile, looked at the control panel, and said, "System, yes, yes..."

[Oh, no, this is a counterfeit Taiyi Origin-Returning Pill that you concocted yourself using Jadegreen Spirit Vine and Nine-Pattern Snow Ginseng.]

[Your hand was healed, but you didn't dare stay in the same place any longer.]

[Aren't all those old monsters in Doushu City like dogs? There's always a chance some of them, skilled in tracking techniques, can find us by following our aura.]

[You activate the "As-If-Original Seal" to erase the traces.]

[Then, you pull out a Self-Made Random Teleportation Talisman.]

[Crush, teleport.]

[Landed, As-If-Original Seal had been erased.]

[Crush it again, then teleport it.]

[You moved it seven or eight times in a row, cleaning up the beginning and end each time.]

[Until you yourself lost track of where you were, you found a secluded cave, set up several Concealment Restriction, sat cross-legged, and began to analyze the spoils of the battle.]

This battle was not easy.

[Even if you've meticulously planned against a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation, you'll still be forced to reveal all your trump cards.]

[You savor every detail of the battle, gaining a deeper understanding of the Spirit Transformation realm.]

However, compared to these insights, the most tangible thing right now is Gu Wusuan's Storage Ring.

[You take out Gu Wusuan's Storage Ring and erase the remaining Restrictions.]

[You initially thought that an old monster who had reached the Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation and had been in charge of a branch of the Mystic Nether Pavilion for many years must be incredibly wealthy.]

[As a result, you scanned the area with your Divine Sense, and your expression became somewhat strange.]

[I do have a lot of Spirit Stones, but all of them add up to less than ten million.]

You couldn't help but mentally spit out a curse.

[You poor wretch! You're not even as good as some poor True Person from back in the day!]

[Your current wealth is largely from what you made during the Mystic Marrow Jade Financial Crisis. You also earned a considerable amount from the Profound Beast Taming Sect afterwards. This is what has sustained your cultivation efforts.]

[This Gu Wusuan Nascent Spirit Transformation, is actually less wealthy than you, a Nascent Soul Cultivator.]

[Although the Spirit Stones were few, the ring contained heavenly materials and earthly treasures and ores, all of extremely high quality.]

[As for Cultivation Method on Jade Slips, there are plenty. However, most of them are insidious and vicious methods, which don't suit your style.]

[You searched the entire Storage Ring but couldn't find a Secret Method as practical as the Spirit Refining Technique or the As-If-Original Seal.]

[Your current cultivation system is already very mature, primarily focusing on the Azure Origin Dao Canon, supplemented by the Hundred-Forged Medicine Body Formula and the Spirit Refining Technique. Your attacks utilize the Thousand Mechanisms Falling Blossoms Instruction in conjunction with the Star River Myriad Blades. There's really no need to change your sect.]

[However, it is still Cultivation Method used by Spirit Transformation cultivators, so it can be considered a valuable resource for you, something you can refer to.]

Just when you were feeling utterly disappointed, two things caught your attention.

[The first item was the set of "one million Low-Grade Spirit Stones " that was the highlight of the Auction.]

[With a thought, you retrieved a Spirit Stone from that group of Spirit Stones.]

[From the outside, this Spirit Stone looks no different from an ordinary Low-Grade Spirit Stone. However, the Spiritual Qi is concentrated inside, lacking any sense of fluidity.]

[You then retrieved the Spirit Stone you obtained from the Black Tiger Gang's warehouse from your Storage Ring.]

[Two Spirit Stones are placed side by side.]

[Whether it's the aura or the state of the inner Spiritual Qi being dormant and lacking fluidity, they are exactly the same.]

[Demonic Spirit Stone.]

[Moreover, the production of Demonic Spirit Stones is not low. A single transaction can involve millions of them.]

[As you gaze at the two Demonic Spirit Stones, countless clues begin to intertwine in your mind.]

The Domain of Chaos is an extremely abnormal place.

[There are no Spirit Blank available here, so cultivators cannot "produce" Spirit Stones themselves. They can only rely on bartering or exchanging them from the Mystic Nether Pavilion at exorbitant prices.]

[The entire Domain of Chaos is essentially a massive drain on Spirit Stones.]

[No matter how many Spirit Stones are invested, they will be quickly absorbed and consumed by cultivators, making it impossible to form a secondary market.]

[This also explains why, despite the millions upon millions of Demonic Spirit Stones, not a single one has left the Domain of Chaos.]

[Under these circumstances, a mysterious organization releasing these "Demonic Spirit Stones " into the Domain of Chaos is clearly an attempt to seize Cultivation Resources from the Azure Dragon Domain.]

No wonder they call it "Demonic Spirit Stone" in the Azure Dragon Domain.

[You're a seasoned veteran of Blue Star, you should understand this is called a struggle for "currency issuance rights."]

[Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. In the world of cultivation-based capitalism, seizing the "right to issue currency" is far more vengeful than killing one's parents.]

[Your eyes darkened slightly, and a bolder guess surfaced in your mind.]

[Demonic Spirit Stone... Demonic Cult...]

[... Jiang Mutian, who claims to be the Sect Leader of Demonic Cult sect.]

[If the source of these Demonic Spirit Stones is the so-called "Demonic Cult"...]

[So, this isn't a battle between good and evil at all; it's a currency war concerning the economic lifeline of the cultivation world!]

[Options pop up.]

[A: Seal all these Demonic Spirit Stones away. This matter is too complicated; it's best not to touch it for now.]

[B: Take this million Demonic Spirit Stones as a dowry, find the Demonic Cult Headquarters, and go...]

[C: Takes out Recording Stone, films a "Million Demonic Spirit Stones Unboxing Video", sends it to the top forces in the Azure Dragon Upper Domain, with the caption: "Family members, does anyone know this? I found a huge bargain in the Domain of Chaos today. Big shots, send me money, or I'll dump this batch of goods on the market!"]
