"How are there more?!" Jiang Boyue stared at Deva Path in shock, almost speechless.
The formation of Five-Element Spirit Stones took time and could not be controlled by cultivators. Thus, the number of Five-Element Spirit Stones produced within a given period was generally about the same. According to Jiang Boyue's calculations, Akatsuki should not have had this many Five-Element Spirit Stones!
"We found a way to accelerate the formation of Five-Element Spirit Stones," Deva Path said simply.
The time difference within Cosmic Light Hall was one factor, but another was Lin Chuan's Three Pure Ones Clones. It was not only Lin Chuan whose five elements had reached perfection—the three clones had as well. All three could produce Five-Element Spirit Stones while cultivating. Moreover, Zero Burial was now in Cosmic Light Hall too, so their output of Five-Element Spirit Stones was enormous.
Lin Chuan had tried before, however, and Shadow Clones could not condense Five-Element Spirit Stones while cultivating. Otherwise, the output would have been even more terrifying.
"What exactly do you mean by exclusive agency rights?" Jiang Boyue asked with a frown, feeling as though he had been tricked.
Akatsuki possessed far more Five-Element Spirit Stones than he had imagined. Things were valuable only when scarce; if too many entered circulation, the overall price would drop. The Five-Element Spirit Stones Cherry Blossom Pavilion had purchased for ten million spirit stones each would depreciate, costing them tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of spirit stones. Jiang Boyue found that hard to accept.
No wonder Deva Path had been so eager to sign the agreement earlier. So this was what he had been waiting for.
"What I mean is, if Five-Element Spirit Stones appear in large quantities outside, their price will inevitably fall. But if they appear only in small
