I Can Upgrade Everything Infinitely - Chapter 245 - 223: Exchanging for Law Stones
From what Zhu Hong said, Xu Qing now had a rough understanding of the two ways to obtain Law Stones. One was to find a Law Stone Ore Vein and mine it.
Clearly.
Cangzhou Prefecture had a long history, and ninety-nine percent of the Law Stone Ore Veins within its borders were already owned. Moreover, the prefecture had its own laws and regulations. Even if one found an unowned Law Stone Ore Vein, they would have to report it to the Prefecture Mansion. Only after obtaining a “mining permit” could they begin excavation.
Mining a Law Stone Ore Vein within Cangzhou Prefecture without reporting it, or without obtaining a “mining permit,” was considered “theft.” The punishment for such a crime under the prefecture’s laws was extremely severe.
It was a direct “death sentence,” with the guilty party’s entire clan, spanning three generations, implicated.
In other words,
for most people, this meant there was really only one way to obtain Law Stones: exchanging Primordial Stones for them at the Great Zhou Money Shop.
“What’s the exchange rate?”
Xu Qing asked.
“Sir, it’s like this.”
Zhu Hong continued, “At the Great Zhou Money Shop, one hundred taels of silver equals one tael of gold. Ten thousand taels of gold equals one Low-grade Primordial Stone. One hundred Low-grade Primordial Stones equal one Middle-grade Primordial Stone, and one hundred Middle-grade Primordial Stones equal one Upper-grade Primordial Stone.”
“And one hundred Upper-grade Primordial Stones equal one Top-grade Primordial Stone.”
“Finally.”
“It takes ten thousand Top-grade Primordial Stones to equal just one Low-grade Law Stone.”
“Those are the exchange rates and prices at the Great Zhou Money Shop. In some Black Markets, the rates are even higher. This is because Law Stones contain the Energy of the world’s operating Laws. They not only serve as a Cultivation aid for experts in the Third Realm.”
“Moreover,”
“for beings at the Ultimate Extraordinary Extreme, they can also help them comprehend the ’Pattern Technique.’ So, as a currency for trade, Law Stones themselves possess extremely high value.”
“Mm.”
Xu Qing nodded.
Now, Xu Qing basically understood.
“Sir, this is all I know.”
Zhu Hong lowered his head and asked humbly, “Sir, is there anything else I can help you with?”
“What’s your name?”
Xu Qing asked.
“Sir, my name is Zhu Hong!”
A flicker of joy crossed Zhu Hong’s face.
“Good.”
Xu Qing nodded. “I see.”
“You may go for now.”
Xu Qing waved his hand. “I’ll call for you again if I need anything.”
“Yes.”
Zhu Hong said immediately, “I’ll be at your beck and call.”
After that,
Zhu Hong left with his several subordinates.
’Law Stones.’
Xu Qing’s expression was pensive. He looked at Kaya and asked, “How many Primordial Stones do we have on hand right now?”
“Master.”
Kaya immediately replied, “If we convert all of our Primordial Stones into ’Top-grade Primordial Stones,’ we have a total of about one hundred and eighty thousand Top-grade Primordial Stones.”
“A while ago,”
“Master, you wiped out the leaders of the four major powers in the Ten Thousand Inches Mountain Range and took all their resources. Ye Langtian then sold those items, netting us a total of around two hundred thousand Top-grade Primordial Stones.”
“Since then, we’ve spent about twenty thousand Top-grade Primordial Stones on your Cultivation Resources, Master, as well as those for Wu Yi, Wu Er, Wu San, Ye Langtian, and this servant.”
“That means,”
“we have about one hundred and eighty thousand Top-grade Primordial Stones left.”
“Alright.”
Xu Qing nodded. “Here’s the plan. Didn’t Zhu Hong mention there’s a Great Zhou Money Shop in the central area of the first ring on the first level? Go there tomorrow and exchange for one Low-grade Law Stone.”
“Yes.”
“As you command.”
“…”
Kaya and the others responded.
’If a Low-grade Law Stone can really speed up my practice of the Reincarnation Law, then I’ll have to find a way to make money. The more money I make, the faster my practice will become.’
Xu Qing thought to himself.
Time flew by.
「The next day.」
In the morning,
Kaya and the others set out.
Of course,
since Xu Qing and his group were unfamiliar with Cangzhou Prefecture, Kaya didn’t take all of their assets on this trip to the Great Zhou Money Shop. She only brought the ten thousand Top-grade Primordial Stones needed for the exchange.
In addition,
to ensure nothing went wrong on this trip to the Great Zhou Money Shop, Xu Qing had the Nine Tier Sixteen Daoist Soldiers, as well as Wu Yi, Wu Er, and Wu San, accompany her.
Only the Ice Daoist Soldiers and the Vajra Daoist Soldiers remained at their residence.
’I hope everything goes smoothly.’
Xu Qing watched as Kaya and the others departed.
「Meanwhile.」
Members of the Brotherhood also noticed Kaya’s group and immediately relayed the information to Zhu Hong, who learned of it in short order.
’That lord actually sent all his servants out.’
Zhu Hong mused, stunned for a moment. ’I really don’t know what these great figures who enjoy ’training in the mortal world’ are thinking. What are they trying to do?’
’Unfathomable, truly unfathomable.’
“Big Brother.”
Beside him,
stood a burly, middle-aged man. Powerfully built with bulging muscles, he stood two and a half meters tall, like a miniature, muscular giant. “Not to overstep, Big Brother, but is that person really the top-tier figure you say he is? Even if he is, do we need to act like this?”
“Of course.”
Zhu Hong’s tone and expression were both calm. He glanced at the burly middle-aged man beside him. “You don’t understand at all. This is our chance.”
