C128 (1/2)
Since he saw that Qin Lie was not at all at a loss, he immediately opened up the conversation and no longer hesitated as he said, ”For the past three years, Gui Yun City and Zhengyang City have been fighting over a spirit stone mine. There have been more than ten battles between the two. It was said that the surrounding cities had also intervened and dispatched troops and generals. Two months ago, both sides had deployed almost five hundred thousand soldiers. This was most likely the reason why these victims fled. Wherever soldiers went, not a single blade of grass grew. It was already dry. Even if there was any food stored, it would still be plundered clean. ”It is said that a hundred thousand people have died of starvation.
Qin Lie was shocked, hearing Lian Fan's explanation, he slowly started to think. Spiritual Stone? This was something even harder to come by than Beast Crystal. It could also be used to craft Practitioner Weapons or to refine Pill s. It could also be used to cast spells or to extract Genuine Qi s to supplement Spirit Qi. It could also be directly absorbed to grow Cultivation Level s. However, because it was purer, there were fewer hidden dangers. All the high level cultivators and Profound Arts Master s treated it as a treasure.
Heavenly Dragon Empire had always been a rare sight, and when he was in the Demon Suppressing King Palace, he had even less of a chance to find Spiritual Stone.
In this battle, which involved millions of people fighting over Spiritual Stone s, the two cities probably had their own sects supporting them from behind. It was indeed the law of the jungle, unstable and unpredictable.
With a pitiful expression, he looked at the commoners who were dressed in shabby clothes, whose eyes were lifeless and filled with despair. Qin Lie suddenly felt furious and helpless.
These people looked at the two Cloud-stepping Carriage from afar and seemed to see some hope. However, when they saw the body of the gnus and the horse floating four zhangs above the ground, they once again moved forward in disappointment.
Qin Lie thought for a while before taking off the embroidered bag on his body. ”He took out a portion of it from the pouch and casually threw it to Lian Fan. You give these few hundred Beast Crystal to the two Mayor s for me. I don't care how they use it, I at least want to give these people a chance to live! ”
In a place of great calamity, food must be incomparably expensive. Even though the several hundred Third Rank Spermatophore Crystals in his storage ring were an enormous fortune, it was still not enough.
Adding on the few Fifth Rank s and dozens of Fourth Rank Beast Crystal s that were gifted by the Violet Cloud County Mayor, it would barely be enough. He had an enormous amount of wealth, but unfortunately, he was unable to use it.
Within the Heavenly Dragon Empire, regardless of whether it was the three great dynasties or the subordinates of the various sects, fifty taels of silvers was enough for a commoner to use for a month. And a single Fourth Rank Demon Beast Crystal, could be equivalent to a hundred pieces of Third Rank Beast Crystal worth a hundred thousand strands of silver.
Therefore, when Qin Lie had yelled out the sky-high price of ten thousand Third Rank Beast Crystal s back then, he had scolded him for being a spendthrift.
It was because in this era, Beast Crystal were too few. The proportion of Demon Beast killed was not even eleven, and there were many cultivators who needed these Beast Crystal as well. That was why he had raised the astronomical price of these Demon Beast Crystals.
If one calculated carefully, out of a million people, only one would reach the heavens. And a Heavenly Completion Stage Ranker who went through all the hardships of hunting and killing, regardless of cultivation, after a year of hard work, could only harvest less than ten Fourth Rank Beast Crystal. Their value could naturally be imagined.
Inside the bag, there were sixty gigantic Fourth Rank Beast Crystal. Even if the price of food were to skyrocket, it would still be more than enough to feed the million people for a year.
Qin Lie had also predicted that the Mayor s of the two cities, Guiyun and Zhengyang City, would not be used for disaster relief. Most of those Beast Crystal had been taken away.
However, as long as these two were not willing to let their Children die, then at least some of it would leak out from the gaps between their teeth.
Just a few would be enough to keep them alive.
Lian Fan caught the bag and was stunned. Some of them were confused, and some of them were staring fixedly at Qin Lie, as though they were somewhat in disbelief. Then without a word, he immediately mounted a Wind-controlling Colt and quickly left.
At this time, Zhao Yu also caught up with them and stopped by the side. After hearing that, he subconsciously laughed mockingly, ”I never expected Young Master Qin to be so kind! It's just that this Beast Crystal of yours was accumulated by millions of people in the Heavenly Demon Sect. These people are neither your Children, nor your Demon Clan. You used these Beast Crystal to do good deeds, have you considered the welfare of the millions of true Demon Clan Children s? ”
Hearing that, Duan Yun was immediately angered, and said with a face full of anger: ”They are all about to starve to death, how can they just ignore it like that? Do you really have a conscience? ”
Zhao Yu sneered, and disdainfully said, ”These people were displaced because their Mayor was incompetent. Young Master Qin was a Young Lord of the Heavenly Demon Sect, so these people shouldn't be bothered about whether they live or die. A useless person would be better off dead so as not to waste food. There are countless dead people, and you are only one person, how can you manage it? Even if those Beast Crystal were to be gifted to her, most of them would be taken away. ”It would be better to buy the grains and give them to them yourself …”
In front, Duan Yun was furious, but at the back, he was moved. He felt that it was logical and turned to look at Qin Lie.
However, Qin Lie secretly thought it was funny. He indifferently swept his gaze over Zhao Yu, but didn't say a word.
In the end, this was the woman's experience. If they really bought the grain, in the eyes of those two idiotic Mayor s, what kind of intentions would they have in making things difficult for others? Even the few hidden sects behind these two were wary.
Most importantly, he didn't have the time or the time to do so. He would not be stupid enough to risk his life for someone else.
However, Zhao Yu's words from before were actually correct and extremely reasonable.
But when Qin Lie acted, he naturally had his limits, and followed his heart's desires, to the point where it was his own. Why would he need other people to act against him?
It was just that everyone had their own way of thinking, he did not want to judge whether Zhao Yu was right or wrong when he said that, and he did not think that he was wrong.
Qin Lie glanced at the distance lightly, and suddenly let out a chuckle. ”Why do I not care about the lives and deaths of these people? Now, it's not my Children, it's fine in the future! Whenever I am in a good mood, I will beat down all these great sects and dynasties of Heavenly Dragon Empire and make me an overlord. While we're at it, we should drive away the Lingyun Sect and let them drink the northwest wind — ”
Zhao Yu was shocked when she was glanced at by him. He suddenly realized that the youth before his was absolutely not someone she could ridicule as he wished.
Hearing Qin Lie's later words, he became even more silent. He didn't have the slightest intention to mock him. Instead, he felt an unspeakable heroic spirit, causing him to be depressed.
He thought that if this child had grown up, it was not impossible for him to unify the Heavenly Dragon Empire.
To expel Lingyun Sect from one's Heavenly Dragon Empire was a bit of an exaggeration. There was a ninety percent chance of one becoming an overlord of a region.
To be able to kill the evil person Li Xieling at the age of sixteen, he naturally had the qualifications to look down on all the heroes of the realm!
Qin Lie laughed for a while, only to feel that the roof of the car was a little cool. He was about to turn around and return to the carriage. But suddenly, he felt that Lin Miaoke's beautiful eyes were fixated on him, her starry eyes were sparkling, revealing traces of happiness and praise.
Qin Lie immediately frowned and sighed, he felt powerless, the pride he had previously, had completely disappeared. He returned to the carriage listlessly. Then, all he could think of was the Spiritual Stone s.
These days, he had almost forgotten about the existence of the Fourth Rank Beast Crystal in the banks. Only now, upon hearing about the Spiritual Stone mine, did he feel the urgency once again.
