Ever since Feng Jun arrived at Liba Beach, he had never lacked Spirit Stones.
At first, there were Ordinary Spirit Stones, then Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, then Upper Spirit Stones. Now he was collecting Extreme Spirit Stones. He had never been short on funds.
But ever since he began refining the Virtual Combat System, his stockpile of Ordinary Spirit Stones had dwindled rapidly. Just thinking about it made the reason obvious: during the refinement process, people had to scatter Spirit Stones constantly. The consumption was enormous.
By now, he had refined nearly twenty magic treasures. It was perfectly normal for Ordinary Spirit Stones to be in short supply. Even the Spirit Stones excavated from the Leo Kingdom's seas had been used up by him—after all, they were unsuitable for use in the Blue Star Realm.
His reserves of Ordinary Spirit Stones were running low, but he was reluctant to use Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. So he planned to make a trip to the Icefield Plane. Both he and Yi Jue held shares in the Spirit Stone mine there. There were nearly two million Spirit Stones available now, enough to handle the immediate crisis.
Ultimately, it was because he had failed to plan ahead. If he had found customers willing to exchange Ordinary Spirit Stones for Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in advance, this would have been much easier.
However, Feng Jun did not want to seek help at the last minute. For one thing, the exchange rate might not be favorable. For another, he would owe people favors.
If he exchanged Mid-Grade Spirit Stones for Ordinary Spirit Stones, it certainly would not be at a ratio of one to a hundred. Otherwise, he might as well use the Mid-Grade Spirit Stones directly. But getting an ideal rate would also be quite difficult.
