A Fortune in an Instant
Xue Tianfei was astonished. She grabbed Lu Qing'an's hand and asked excitedly, "Heavens! Are you serious? A hundred unclaimed Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins? We currently have less than ten Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins. If we could acquire a hundred unclaimed Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone in a single day, even the lowest grade ones, our assets would far surpass those of many top-tier powers!"
Lu Qing'an smiled and said, "Of course I wouldn't lie to you. With these Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mines, the Chamber of Commerce won't need to mobilize its resources. We can just take these Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mines to the auction together."
Xue Tianfei nodded quickly, then couldn't help but ask, "You said you could find a hundred unclaimed Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins in a day. If you had enough time, how many unclaimed Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins could you find?"
"Minimum guarantee of one thousand."
As soon as Lu Qing'an finished speaking, the air around them froze again, and everyone was stunned, especially Leng Xinghe and Chu Xuantie.
They knew this treasure was powerful and extremely valuable, but they never expected that it could locate a thousand Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins at once, and even know whether these Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins were ownerless!
This is insane!!!
Before long, Lu Qing'an called Li Muchen and the others over.
Li Wensong was still walking at the very front.
"Brother Lu, is there anything we need to do again?" Li Wensong asked with a smile, looking like he had nothing better to do and was eager to get back to work, perfectly embodying the spirit of a model worker.
Lu Qing'an explained what he wanted them to do and used his Divine Ability to tell them the approximate locations of the different Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins, instructing each of them to find ten veins and bring back these unclaimed Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins as soon as possible.
When Li Muchen and the others learned that Lu Qing'an could find them a hundred Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins in one go, they were just as stunned as Leng Xinghe and Chu Xuantie, standing motionless like wooden logs.
One hundred unclaimed Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins?!
And it can be found within a day?!
Lu Qing'an used his Divine Ability powers to mark the hundred Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins closest to them, then interrupted Li Wensong and the others, urging them to regain their senses and get the matter done as soon as possible.
"Fellow Daoists, if you have the time, please help me out. I will certainly not treat you unfairly afterward." Lu Qing'an also glanced at Chu Xuantie and Leng Xinghe. Both of them were Peak Eternal Realm experts. When searching for these Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone, the stronger the person, the more efficient they would be in finding them.
The two took a deep breath and nodded. Since they had nothing else to do and had already witnessed Lu Qing'an's power, a thought crossed their minds: after they finished dealing with things here, they would talk to Li Wensong and the others to see if the Eternal Night Sect would accept their joining!
Indeed, both of them had already decided to join the Eternal Night Sect!
And so, under Lu Qing'an's arrangement, the group of people had a goal.
"Okay, Brother Lu! Leave this to us. We guarantee we can get it done within the time limit!" Li Wensong spoke first, like a soldier receiving a military order, his expression extremely solemn.
Lu Qing'an nodded, then dismissed them and told them to take care of the matter immediately. He didn't stay idle either; he looked at Xue Tianfei, extended his hand, and smiled as he waited for Xue Tianfei to reach out.
"Since we have nothing else to do, let's go look for it."
Xue Tianfei smiled sweetly, reached out and took Lu Qing'an's hand, and nodded slightly.
The two followed Li Wensong and the others, leaving the courtyard and exiting the Eternal Night Sect, flying off in different directions.
And just like that, a day passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Wensong and the others split up to search for the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone vein. Since it was an unclaimed Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone vein, they didn't need to do anything else. As long as they found the specific location and used specific methods to find where the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone vein was hidden, they could quickly locate it.
These Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins are not of high grade, and they are not difficult to collect. Even Li Wensong, who is only at the Early Eternal Realm, finds it very easy to collect low-grade and mid-grade Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins.
Therefore, within the timeframe anticipated by Lu Qing'an and Xue Tianfei, Li Wensong and the others brought all the Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mines back to the Eternal Night Sect!
That makes a total of one hundred and ten!
There are a total of ninety low-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins!
There are a total of twenty intermediate-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins!
Lu Qing'an glanced at Li Wensong and the others, who were sitting excitedly in the stone pavilion.
"Thank you all for your hard work. Now our Eternal Night Sect should be one of the wealthiest forces in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains."
He didn't know how much wealth the richest groups possessed in total, or just how terrifying the assessed value was. But now, he was extremely confident that he was definitely not much worse off than them, and might even be richer!
And this is just the beginning. If they had more time to prepare for the auction, they could have found all the remaining nine hundred or so unclaimed Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins in about half a month!
Back then, who dared to compare with them in terms of wealth!
They're all younger brothers!
"Brother Lu, you're joking. We're also members of the Eternal Night Sect, so this is what we should do! There's no question of hardship! If you need us to do this kind of thing again, just give the order, Brother Lu!" Li Wensong was also very excited. He had witnessed the founding of the Eternal Night Sect and was very clear about his position and importance within it. The more powerful the Eternal Night Sect Eternal Night Sect became, the higher his status and position would rise, after all, he was the number one pawn!
Li Muchen and the others echoed each other, saying that they hadn't worked hard and had only run errands.
Lu Qing'an smiled and nodded. For Li Muchen and the others who had already joined the Eternal Night Sect, this matter was indeed just a small contribution to their own power. However, he had to properly thank Leng Xinghe and Chu Xuantie for their help.
"Fellow Daoists, they were just joking with you two earlier, asking you to repair the Heaven-Seeking Treasure Mirror. How could they expect you to give us Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins? Here are ten Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins; you can take them and divide them among yourselves."
Lu Qing'an took out ten Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins and distributed them to Chu Xuantie and Leng Xinghe.
Previously, they lacked Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone, and he could have kept them if he had obtained them from the two men. But now that he is wealthy, it would be better to give them some reward.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the two shook their heads frantically.
"Fellow Daoist, I don't need any reward, because I've just made a decision: I'm going to join the Eternal Night Sect with them!" Chu Xuantie said quickly.
Leng Xinghe, not to be outdone, said earnestly, "Me too, I hope you will accept me as a member!"
