"Half a year ago, our Li Family discovered sothing extrely strange inside one of our mining sites located outside Azure Wind City." Patriarch said solemnly.
Hearing this, Li Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"What is it?"
Li Jinyun nodded solemnly. "At first, we also believed it was rely an ordinary mineral deposit. However, after the miners excavated deeper into the mine, they discovered an enormous dark-colored boulder buried underground. The boulder itself looked extrely ordinary on the surface, but every single day, low-grade Spirit Stones would mysteriously erge from within it."
"At first, only one or two Spirit Stones appeared each day, but later the amount gradually increased. Realizing how unusual the situation was, we imdiately sealed the news completely and secretly transported the boulder back to the Li Family estate."
The mont those words entered his ears, Li Yun’s expression changed drastically.
"What?!"
Li Yun’s eyes widened instantly as disbelief appeared on his face.
A boulder capable of continuously producing Spirit Stones?
Even with Li Yun’s current knowledge, he had never heard of sothing so absurd before.
Spirit Stones were ford naturally after countless years of gathering heaven and earth spiritual energy.
Yet now, Li Jinyun was telling him that a single mysterious boulder could continuously generate low-grade Spirit Stones every single day.
Such a thing was simply unbelievable.
Li Yun imdiately beca serious.
"Patriarch, where is that boulder now?"
Li Jinyun slowly replied, "After realizing how extraordinary it was, we moved it into the deepest underground chamber of the Li Family and placed it under heavy protection. Very few people within the family even know about its existence."
"Originally, I wanted to wait for your return before deciding what to do with it. After all, sothing capable of continuously producing Spirit Stones is far too shocking. If news about it leaked outside, our Li Family would likely face disaster imdiately."
Li Yun frowned slightly after hearing this.
"Although it can produce ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones every day, our Li Family’s current situation is no longer the sa as before. We should not be lacking such a small amount of resources now. Besides, I doubt any of the top families in the county would care much about a few Low-Grade Spirit Stones."
Patriarch Li Jinyun shook his head with a solemn expression. "If it were only that simple, I would not have brought this matter up so seriously. The situation changed three months ago. That huge boulder stopped producing only Low-Grade Spirit Stones and began producing Mid-Grade Spirit Stones instead. Recently, it has even started producing High-Grade Spirit Stones."
"High-Grade Spirit Stones?"
Li Yun’s expression finally changed.
With his current strength and status, ordinary Spirit Stones were no longer enough to stir his emotions easily. Just the monthly salary he received as the Grand Elder of the Martial Ascension Gate amounted to ten thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
Furthermore, with Li Yun’s ability, earning additional Spirit Stones would not be difficult.
Even so, ten High-Grade Spirit Stones were still far from a small amount.
Ten High-Grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to at least one thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, or one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
This amount alone might not be enough to shock Li Yun, but if the boulder could produce that many Spirit Stones every single day, then the aning was completely different.
That was no longer a simple resource.
It was a treasure capable of continuously generating wealth.
Even powerful forces such as Ice God Valley and the Martial Ascension Gate would be moved by it.
Li Yun’s expression beca serious.
"Patriarch, take to see it."
Li Jinyun nodded imdiately.
Soon, the two of them left the hall and headed toward the hidden chamber where the huge boulder was stored.
The boulder had been concealed by a Hidden Spirit Array personally arranged by the elders of the Li Family. Around it, the Li Family had also set up several layers of strict defenses.
Aside from Patriarch Li Jinyun himself, no other Martial Artist was allowed to approach the boulder without permission.
Because of these precautions, the news that this mysterious boulder could produce ten High-Grade Spirit Stones every day had not leaked out yet.
Before long, Li Yun arrived before the huge boulder.
The mont he saw it, his gaze froze.
With just one glance, Li Yun’s mind seed to be drawn into the boulder, as though an invisible force had pulled at his soul and made it impossible for him to look away.
This discovery shocked Li Yun even more.
After reaching the sixth tier in both Spirit Soul and Comprehension, his mind had beco incredibly firm.
Even an ordinary Mortal Core Realm expert would find it difficult to shake his composure.
Yet this mysterious boulder had managed to affect him with a single glance.
Whoosh!
At that mont, the huge boulder suddenly trembled.
The divine luster covering its surface rippled like flowing water, and mysterious vortex-like patterns slowly appeared across the stone. Each vortex seed to possess a strange power capable of pulling one’s mind deeper into it.
The tremor continued for more than a dozen breaths.
Then, the layers of divine radiance on the boulder’s surface gradually condensed together.
Monts later, ten flawless Spirit Stones glowing with brilliant light were slowly expelled from within the boulder.
Li Yun’s eyes narrowed sharply.
"They really are High-Grade Spirit Stones."
The shock in his heart deepened.
These ten Spirit Stones were indeed High-Grade Spirit Stones without exception.
More importantly, they were not ordinary High-Grade Spirit Stones.
Each one was pure, flawless, and filled with dense spiritual energy. Their quality was clearly among the highest grade within High-Grade Spirit Stones, making them at least thirty percent more valuable than ordinary ones.
In other words, these ten High-Grade Spirit Stones were worth nearly one hundred fifty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Li Yun’s expression beca even more solemn.
"This boulder is definitely extraordinary."
Without wasting any more ti, Li Yun imdiately activated his Nine Tribulations Divine Eye and began carefully inspecting the mysterious boulder from every possible angle.
Seeing the grave expression on Li Yun’s face as he carefully observed the mysterious boulder, Patriarch Li Jinyun wisely chose not to disturb him further.
After quietly giving a few instructions to the surrounding guards, Li Jinyun silently left the underground chamber.
The entire area soon beca completely silent.
Li Yun continued observing the huge boulder without moving.
Ti slowly passed.
This inspection lasted for nearly half an hour.
Finally, Li Yun’s eyes suddenly narrowed sharply.
He had discovered sothing.
