"Forbidden Zone?"
Lu Hao said, "I have my own plans. There's no rush to go to the Forbidden Zone. I'll go later."
"Fine, as long as you have your own plans, I won't force you," Zhang Tao said. He had only mentioned it in passing. "By the way, Minister Zhang, Fang Ping swallowed quite a bit of Life Essence in the Earth Cave this time and accidentally solidified his Bridge of Heaven and Earth. That kid then talked the others into doing the same, and quite a few grandmasters were persuaded. They may come over to conduct some experiments later."
"That's a minor matter. If they can truly figure out the minimum expenditure needed to solidify the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, we can provide energy for some geniuses as well and let them solidify theirs. Every bit of combat power from a genius matters. If they build a solid foundation, they can advance faster too," Zhang Tao said.
"Mm, there's nothing else. Let's deal with the energy stones first. I plan to leave five tons of energy stones at Magic Martial University and exchange the other five tons with the Ministry of Education. Let's just set a clear price for the exchange."
Lu Hao spoke bluntly.
Zhang Tao was delighted at first, then began his performance. "Lu Hao, you know how important energy stones are for cultivation. To tell you the truth, the energy stone reserves of the three ministries and four prefectures amount to less than a hundred tons. Those are our final strategic reserves. The few martial artist troops stationed beneath the three ministries and four prefectures only receive a few hundred jin of energy stones each year. It's nowhere near enough for their cultivation. Many soldiers fight with their lives for even a little energy stone.
