Chapter 174: Hundred Billion Spiritual Stones
The two of them laughed and joked for a while, and then Zhang Qian took out the invitation to Tianji Pavilion that he had snatched from Mangcang Mountain.

"How did you get the invitation from Tianji Pavilion?"

Li Qingque was surprised when he saw the golden invitation in Zhang Qian's hand. He knew how precious the invitation from Tianji Pavilion was.

Zhang Qian smiled slightly: "I snatched this from the people of Mangcang Mountain. I was lucky this time. If it weren't for Jiang Shili's seal that showed the pressure of the Emperor, suppressing the people from Mangcang Mountain who were attending the Tianji Pavilion event, I wouldn't have been able to get it so easily."

Li Qingque took the invitation from Zhang Qian's hand, took a closer look, and then an identical invitation appeared in his hand.

"This time I left Jianhu Palace on the orders of the headmaster to attend the grand event of Tianji Pavilion. I put a lot of effort into this invitation, but I didn't expect that you also got one."

Zhang Qian chuckled, "It's bad luck for Mangcang Mountain. I sneaked into Mangcang Mountain and caused a big commotion before, killing all of Ye Lingxiao's family members. When I was trying to snatch this invitation, I also killed Ye Tianjing. Now Ye Lingxiao is the only one left in the Ye family in Mangcang Mountain. I have to find a chance to kill Ye Lingxiao as well."

Li Qingque was slightly surprised: "So it was you who caused such a big disturbance in Mangcang Mountain some time ago! I thought you were really amazing. Not only did you empty a treasure house in Mangcang Mountain, but you also made Mangcang Mountain look shabby. Do you know that Mangcang Mountain has already issued a huge reward in all the markets in Xingyun Province for clues about the person who caused such a big disturbance in Mangcang Mountain? Even I am jealous of that huge reward."

"I want to transform my spiritual consciousness, but you also know that my mental power is extremely strong. I don't know how many incense beads I will need to completely transform it into spiritual consciousness. I have no choice but to set my sights on Mangcang Mountain. Sister, you will never guess how many treasures I have obtained from the Mangcang Mountain treasury."

Hearing this, Li Qingque's eyes lit up: "Tell me quickly, do you still want to hide it from me?"

Zhang Qian did not hide anything and showed Li Qingque the magic weapons and spiritual stones he had obtained from the treasure house of Mangcang Mountain. What surprised Zhang Qian was that after seeing so many spiritual stones and magic weapons, Li Qingque was not surprised at all, but just nodded slightly.

Zhang Qian thought about it and asked hurriedly, "Senior sister, how many spirit stones did you bring with you to represent our Jianhu Palace in the Tianji Pavilion event this time?"

Li Qingque smiled teasingly and said, "Do you really want to know?"

Zhang Qian nodded, and Li Qingque waved his slender hand, and a strange round ball appeared in his hand.

This sphere is very similar to the void sphere that Li Qingque used. It seems that the sphere is not big, but the space inside the sphere is almost boundless. Li Qingque lightly tapped the sphere, and the scene inside the sphere appeared.

"This is……!"

When Zhang Qian saw clearly what was inside the sphere, he couldn't help but show a look of horror.

"How many spiritual stones are these? Senior sister, the master didn't ask you to bring all the spiritual stones in the treasure house of the Sword Gourd Palace, did he?"

There were so many spirit stones in this void sphere that Zhang Qian was shocked.

Inside the sphere is a sea of ​​spirit stones, which is more than the spirit stones Zhang Qian snatched from the treasure house of Mangcang Mountain and the spirit stones he took from Xu Ziyang's storage bag combined. Moreover, this amount is not just a lot, it is hundreds of times more than what Zhang Qian took!
Li Qingque smiled slightly, "How is it possible? These spirit stones are only a small part of our Jianhu Palace treasury. I heard that many rare and precious treasures appeared during the Tianji Pavilion's grand event. The headmaster ordered me to buy those treasures. There are a total of 100 billion spirit stones in this void sphere, which is not too much." Zhang Qian was stunned when he heard it: "100 billion spirit stones? Not too much? How many spirit stones are there in the Jianhu Palace treasury?"

What a scary number 100 billion is?

Zhang Qian robbed Mang Cangshan and Xu Ziyang's storage bags, but all he got was a few billion spirit stones. He still felt that he had become rich overnight, but compared with the hundreds of billions of spirit stones in front of him, it was nothing.

"Is this the foundation of an ancient sect? Although Mangcang Mountain is a large sect and looks impressive, it is far inferior to Jianhu Palace!"

Just think about it and you will know the gap. Xu Ziyang is the most powerful person with the highest cultivation in Mangcang Mountain. He personally escorted the spirit stones to participate in the Tianji Pavilion event, but there were only more than 600 million spirit stones in his storage bag. Look at Jianhu Palace, Li Qingque directly brought 100 billion spirit stones!

"Is this a spirit stone or a piece of stone from the roadside? Even if you want to collect a hundred billion pieces of stone from the roadside, it's impossible. How did you accumulate so many spirit stones?"

Zhang Qian was full of doubts at this moment. Although he was knowledgeable, the number of hundreds of billions of spirit stones was still scary enough.

"Why are you so surprised? Our Jianhu Palace is an ancient sect. A mere 100 billion spirit stones are just a mere 100 billion spirit stones. Our Jianhu Palace has been established for tens of thousands of years and has occupied thousands of spirit stone veins of all sizes. In addition to some daily transactions, it is not difficult to save so many spirit stones. Moreover, these are only acquired spirit stones, which are far less precious than innate spirit stones. Just now, you heard outside the Taikang capital that our Xingyun Province is just a remote place. In the Zushen Province, there are many innate spirit stone veins underground. Those are the truly precious ones."

After a pause, Li Qingque continued, "Innate Spirit Stones contain innate spiritual energy and are extremely precious. They are even more precious in our Xingyun Province. Often, it is a bargain to exchange one innate spirit stone for 1 billion acquired spirit stones, and you can't buy them at all. Innate spirit stones are very useful for those who cultivate the Yuan Shen. There are not many innate spirit stones in our Jianhu Palace treasury."

"What! One billion acquired spirit stones can only be exchanged for one innate spirit stone? And you can't even buy it?"

Zhang Qian paused for a moment, and after some calculation in his mind, he realized that his billions of spirit stones were only worth one innate spirit stone. This ratio was too shocking.

"Yes, acquired spiritual stones are only useful for cultivators below the Golden Core Realm. After refining the Dharmakāya, acquired spiritual stones can only replenish true essence and mana, and they are still far inferior to various spiritual pills. However, innate spiritual stones are different. Innate spiritual stones contain extremely precious innate spiritual energy. Innate spiritual energy plays an extremely important role for the mighty Yuanshen. It can allow the mighty Yuanshen to comprehend the innate wonderland, refine the Yuanshen, and purify the body. It has infinite magical benefits. Our Xingyun State is located in a remote place, and there are no innate spiritual stone veins underground. The innate spiritual stones collected by various ancient sects are mostly accidentally dropped from the outer star realm, or passed down from the Zushen State. It's just that the Zushen State is too far away, and there are not many innate spiritual stones passed down. Only at every Tianji Pavilion event, there will be a lot of innate spiritual stones auctioned."

Zhang Qian shook his head and couldn't help but think of his experience in the primitive world. Back in the primitive world, after the creation of the world, the ground was full of innate spiritual energy, which was basically inexhaustible. There were countless innate spiritual stone veins under the primitive land, but no one went to mine them. To the primitive powers, innate spiritual stones were nothing but useless things.

"Hey, I thought I was a wealthy man now that I had more than a billion spirit stones, and I was thinking about buying some good things at the Tianji Pavilion event, but I didn't expect that I'm still a pauper."

"Pfft!"

Li Qingque pursed his lips and smiled: "To put it bluntly, every time the Tianji Pavilion holds a grand event, it is the eternal great sects competing with each other. Only when those eternal great sects look down on something will it be the turn of large sects like Mangcang Mountain to compete for it. Forget about your few spirit stones. You can't buy anything good. However, there are many shops on the top of the cloud where the Tianji Pavilion is located. On the day of the grand event, these shops will sell specialties from other states. You can go and have a look."
