Lin Tian said scornfully, "Are you really stupid, or just pretending? How many Spirit Stones do the Three Realms have right now? Five hundred years from now, after five hundred years of accumulation, everyone will have money, and there'll be more treasures too. That's how we maximize our profits!"
Everyone nodded in unison. His words were rough, but his reasoning was sound. The Three Realms did not have many Spirit Stones right now, so even the finest treasures would not fetch a high price.
Five hundred years later, the prices would be higher, and there would be more treasures as well.
But Tathagata's and Guanyin's faces darkened, because five hundred years later was when the pilgrimage would begin.
That was precisely what Lin Tian had in mind. Five hundred years later, the road of the Journey to the West would be packed with powerful figures instead of petty demons and monsters. The monkey would probably cough up blood when he arrived.
With so many powerful figures' interests tied up here, no one would be able to meddle with it.
At this point, Tathagata and Guanyin could not help suspecting that Lin Tian harbored sinister intentions. But this was a conspiracy they had no way to unravel!

Anyone who dared touch this place in the future would have to weigh the consequences. Even
