"As for what Brother Ouyang said, I feel there is a very high degree of certainty to it. Several decades ago, I once saw the Pei Family, Feng Family, and Wu Family of Jingzhou join forces to auction off some valuable items. Among them were even top-grade cultivation techniques. At the time, this greatly puzzled me.
"Thinking back on it now, they must have been holding the auctions on a large scale to gather the Spirit Stones needed to purchase that mine. However, since Brother Ouyang already knows that Spirit Infusion Stones exist within it, why not go to Brahma Sound Temple or those three cultivation families to buy them? Why come looking for me instead?"
There was one other matter Qin Fengming had not asked about: if Ouyang Chen wanted to make a move in secret, why had he not sought help from his two Nascent Soul stage senior brothers?
Hearing Qin Fengming's question, Ouyang Chen understood what he meant. He smiled faintly and said, "Brother Qin may not know this, but even if Spirit Infusion Stones truly exist, the Pei, Feng, and Wu Families would never sell a single one to outsiders. If I went there, they might even kill me to silence me."
"Oh? Why is that? I don't understand. Wouldn't giving them other treasures or Spirit Stones in exchange for the Spirit Infusion Stones be enough?" Qin Fengming could not help showing a look of astonishment.
"Heh heh. With Brother Qin's knowledge, you naturally know that Spirit Infusion Stones can not only serve as the foundation of formations, but can also be used as superb materials for refining puppets and even armor. Master Fang Ming of Brahma Sound Temple is a grandmaster of puppet refinement, and several of his disciples are masters in the same field.
