505 Treasure Trove (2/2)
Chen Zikuang was baffled as his forehead darkened. By now, he had some understanding of this fellow's revolting behavior. Mo Wen was simply shameless. Chen Zikuang was worried about what the consequences of taking Mo Wen to the treasure trove would be. He simply couldn't imagine.
However, in order to cure Old Grandfather Chen's condition as soon as possible, Chen Zikuang could only bite the bullet and bring Mo Wen to the Intentionless Sect's treasure trove.
Both of them, one behind another, walked towards the palace behind the Intentionless Sect.
”Eh, what's that?” As they were passing by the public square, a weird radiance flashed in Mo Wen's eyes as he realized that there were piles of stone-like things in the public square. There were many various different piles and some simply looked like small hills.
”Crude ore,” Chen Zikuang said weakly. Although they had not yet reached the treasure trove, his mind was imagining the scene that would pain him.
”Spiritual stone crude ore.” Mo Wen turned his head slightly as he cast a look at a pile of greyish-white big and small stones. His pupils contracted as his facial expression changed suddenly.
That was actually a pile of Spiritual stone crude ore. That would mean that there was actually a Spiritual stone lode in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension! For a moment, Mo Wen felt that his throat was dry. Spiritual stone lode! Regardless of how small the Spiritual stone lode was, it was equivalent to having a gold and silver mountain to him. The Intentionless Sect actually had a Spiritual stone lode. Mo Wen began to think that he had been too merciful in merely asking for fifty Spiritual stones.
”You know about the Spiritual stone crude ore?” Surprise flashed in Chen Zikuang's eyes. Wasn't Mo Wen a martial arts practitioner from the main space where resources such as Spiritual stone crude ore were very rare? How did he know about this kind of thing?
The spiritual energies in the main space were very rare, it was questionable if there was an existence of things like the Spiritual stone crude ore.
Mo Wen glanced at Chen Zikuang as if he couldn't be bothered answering his idiotic question. Then, he glanced at the pile of Spiritual stone crude ore, licked his drying lips and asked, ”Why are you pilling the Spiritual stone crude ore in the public square?”
”Originally, the Spiritual stone crude ore is supposed to be transported to Huatian Palace, but since the Sacred Flame Sect had sealed the Intentionless City, we can't get them out. The store can't hold the Spiritual stone crude ore so we can only pile it outside,” Chen Zikuang said helplessly. If the Sacred Flame Sect hadn't sealed Intentionless City, the Spiritual stone crude ore would have been transported to Huatian Palace and they might be able to exchange for the next batch of Spiritual stones.
”The Spiritual stone crude ore can be exchanged for how many Spiritual stones?” Radiance flashed in Mo Wen's eyes.
”This pile is able to exchange for seventeen to eighteen Spiritual stones. It's equivalent to the production in a Spiritual stones lode for two months.” Chen Zikuang looked askance at that pile of Spiritual stone crude ore as he estimated.
”Wicked! Thoroughly wicked.” The corners of Mo Wen's mouth twitched as he felt speechless. So much of the Spiritual stone crude ore could be exchanged for merely ten Spiritual stones. It was simply plundering and exploitation. If this was in the Immortal Cultivation world, more than ten Spiritual stones couldn't even afford a miner. It was ludicrous that Intentionless Sect was happily working for the Huatian Palace. What is a monopoly? This is a monopoly!
An ancient martial arts sect like the Intentionless Sect could only mine for the Spiritual stone crude ore but couldn't refine them into Spiritual stones, so they had to trade with Huatian Palace.
This amount of Spiritual stone crude ore could be refined into at least thousands of Spiritual stones. If the Intentionless Sect knew the price of these Spiritual stone crude ore, he wondered what they would think of it.
However, Mo Wen couldn't tell and didn't dare to tell about this kind of thing.
”Let's go, the treasure trove is in front.”
Along the way, Mo Wen discovered that the public square was piled with many different kinds of Spiritual stone crude ore. The majority of them were raw materials used in the Immortal Cultivation world to refine the magical treasures or those special function magical instruments. However, all were basic raw materials and nothing precious.
They walked to a corner of the underground treasure trove. The treasure trove was piled with different kinds of medicinal herbs. Many of them were almost rare precious medicinal herb in the main space. However, they were piled casually on the floor like haystacks in the Intentionless Sect's store.
”Are there medicinal herbs here that you need?” Chen Zikuang asked.
Mo Wen shook his head decisively. Although the medicinal herbs here were precious, they were not Spiritual medicine. He was here for the Spiritual medicine, he wouldn't want to be penny wise, pound foolish.
”I can't use normal medicinal herbs. Only Spiritual medicine can be used.” Mo Wen uttered softly.
”Follow me then…” Chen Zikuang laughed bitterly. He guided Mo Wen towards a small door with a pinch in his heart.
Through the small door, there were layers of defensive measures. Both of them went through twists and turns and finally reached a secret chamber.
The secret chamber was relatively small, about two hundred square meters. There were many shelves, which were made of sandalwood, and there were countless wooden boxes on the shelves.
Mo Wen roughly examined the boxes. Almost every wooden box had a Spiritual medicine in it. There were about two to three thousand boxes in the secret chamber! Mo Wen's smile on his lips was getting wider and wider. Getting rich! This time he was really getting rich!
