Chapter 1708: Movements of the Lu Family
Jian Chen and Shen Jian sat on the ground in the seventh hall of the Mo clan as they sorted through what they had obtained this time. They casually threw the several hundred Space Rings on the ground. To one side, a large number of divine crystals had been sorted into three piles according to their grades. They had all formed mountainous piles now as dense origin energy revolved around the three piles, forming a thin mist.
At this moment, the origin energy was so dense that there was no longer any need to absorb the divine crystals. Just sitting around the piles would allow people to cultivate at terrifying speeds.
There were very few low grade divine crystals and many mid grade crystals. There were even quite a few high grade divine crystals. The most eye-catching part was the head-sized high grade divine crystal on top of one of the piles.
The standard for a divine crystal was around the size of a finger, a cube that was one centimeter in length, width, and depth. If a fist-sized divine crystal was cut up, it would amount to several dozen or even hundreds of divine crystal at standard size. With that as a comparison, a head-sized divine crystal would be equivalent to several thousand divine crystals of standard size.
Several thousand high grade divine crystals were equivalent to several hundred thousand mid grade divine crystals and several tens of million low grade divine crystals. Just the single head-sized divine crystal was great wealth to Jian Chen and Shen Jian.
Shen Jian picked up the head-sized divine crystal and stroked it fondly. He clicked his tongue, “I never thought that we’d harvest so much this time. Just this divine crystal exceeds everything you robbed last time.”
Jian Chen also turned his gaze to the divine crystal. He nodded, “If you use this high grade divine crystal to cultivate, it’ll be a little too wasteful. It’ll just feel like you’re wasting it. In my opinion, we should exchange it for low grade divine crystals. With our current cultivation level, low grade divine crystals are the best for cultivation.”
The difference in value between each grade was a hundred times more. However, that did not mean that the origin energy within a mid grade divine crystal was a hundred times denser than the origin energy within a low grade divine crystal. In reality, it was only a few times denser, ten times at most. It was just that the origin energy in mid grade divine crystals was much purer, where divine crystals would become several times more expensive even if they were just slightly purer. This was why each grade was worth a hundred times more than the previous one, even if the origin energy was only several times denser.
There was another reason aside from that. The higher an individual’s cultivation, the greater the requirement on the grade of divine crystals became. If a Godking wanted to use divine crystals to cultivate, they would require high or supreme quality divine crystals at the very least. If they used mid or low grade divine crystals, there would be almost no effect. It would not even be as fast as just absorbing the origin energy in the surroundings.
As a result, the higher the grade of a divine crystal, the more valuable it was.
“We’ll keep this high grade divine crystal for now. We can decide to use it or break it into low grade divine crystals in the future,” said Jian Chen. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he became stunned and turned around.
A bald man stood there silently. He was the ancestor of the Mo clan.
Mo Ling glanced past the three piles of divine crystals on the ground and became surprised. He clasped his fist and asked, “Brother Jian Chen, brother Shen Jian, was the operation successful?”
Jian Chen and Shen Jian obviously understood that Mo Ling was referring to whether they succeeded in taking the ancestor of the Lu family’s life.
“The more powerful clans in the Dong’an province have already learnt about the Lu family’s mine. Several Gods have gathered in the Lu family right now, so we had no opportunity to do it,” said Jian Chen. His voice bore some regret.
Mo Ling became stern. He made his way before Jian Chen by himself and sat down on the ground like Jian Chen. He said, “It’s extremely bad if several Gods across the Dong’an province have gathered in the Lu family. With the Lu family’s current strength, they’ll definitely hand over the mine, but they’ll be able to benefit quite a lot from the powerful clans. What I worry the most about is if the Lu family will get those clans to come to deal with us.”
