“Mo Wen, how’s my father’s condition?” Chen Zikuang asked impatiently. Originally, he had thought there wasn’t any hope but now his prayers had been answered and it was as if he was dreaming.

“Still fine. He will need to continue treatment. With the right conditions, there is a possibility to be fully cured.” Mo Wen nodded as he spoke.

“What did you say to Old Grandfather Chen? He has actually agreed to let you go into the treasure trove!”

Chen Zikuang glanced at Mo Wen strangely with a melancholy expression. The youth had been here for a day and was actually being allowed to the Intentionless Sect’s treasure trove.

“Treatment requires resources. The better the medicine, the stronger the effect. As the Deputy Sect Leader of Intentionless Sect, you should understand this very well, right?” Mo Wen said gravely and earnestly. “Old Grandfather Chen is very sick at the moment, so naturally we can disregard trivial matters. Some things we have, we will need to use them. Some things that we don’t have, we will think of ways to find them so that we can use them.”

“What do you want? I can ask someone to get it for you from the treasure trove.” Chen Zikuang gave Mo Wen a wary look. No matter how he looked at this youngster, he still thought his motive was impure. Usually, the better something sounded, the more there was an ulterior motive.

“No need. I am not afraid of troubles. It’s fine for me to make a trip there personally. However, since I am putting in my best effort, shouldn’t Intentionless Sect pay a consultation fee if Old Grandfather Chen is completely cured?” Mo Wen said half-heartedly with his brows raised.

“Still need to pay a consultation fee?” Chen Zikuang widened his eyes.

“Or else what do you think? Nowadays, one must tip the waiter when he’s having a meal. You are tenably the Deputy Sect Leader of the Intentionless Sect, are you not able to afford a consultation fee?” Mo Wen asked. He felt that because the Intentionless Sect was so wealthy, it would be unjust not to rob the rich to help the poor.

“How much is this consultation fee?” Chen Zikuang asked as he smiled bitterly. He felt as though he had been duped. Mo Wen had already stated his conditions and now was actually asking for a consultation fee.

“All of you are experts in the outside world, we shall not deal in ordinary gold and silver. Let’s use the exchange of Spiritual stones.” Mo Wen grinned from ear to ear.

He was constantly thinking of the Intentionless Sect’s Spiritual stones. In order for the Intentionless Sect to maintain such a big Snow Storm Stratagem for half a month, they must have a lot of Spiritual stones. He would feel dissatisfied if he did not take some from the Intentionless Sect.

“What!” Chen Zikuang screamed in shock before he shook his head vigorously. “No, Spiritual stones cannot be given,” he said.

In the Intentionless Sect, the Spiritual stones were an important strategic resource. Every Spiritual stone was an important thing to the Sect. The activation of the Snow Storm Stratagem this time had already expended a terrifying amount of Spiritual stone power. It was originally insufficient so they might not be able to sustain for a very long time. Hence, they couldn’t give any to Mo Wen.

To the Intentionless Sect, Spiritual stones was a lifesaving thing!

“Not giving? What if I say that giving me a piece of Spiritual stone will mean that I am able to let Old Grandfather Chen recover in half a year’s time. If you give me two pieces, it can be five months. If you give me ten Spiritual stones, I can guarantee that Old Grandfather Chen will recover completely within a month! Mo Wen grinned at Chen Zikuang as he spoke unhurriedly.

Chen Zikuang’s lips twitched as he heard the words. It felt as if Mo Wen was extorting treasure from him. It was clear that Mo Wen was able to cure Old Grandfather Chen within a month, yet he was making out that he would only be able to do this if he received a gift of Spiritual stones.

“If you can cure Old Grandfather Chen within half a month, I will consider giving you ten Spiritual stones,” Chen Zikuang said painfully. Those were Spiritual stones! Although the Intentionless Sect controlled two Spiritual stones lodes, they could only mine the crude ore but couldn’t refine them into Spiritual stones. Hence, the only means to obtain Spiritual stones was to trade with Huatian Palace.

However, it was a difficult thing to trade with Huatian Palace. The crude ore produced by the two Spiritual stones lodes controlled by the Intentionless Sect in three days could be exchanged at most for one Spiritual stone from Huatian Palace. Even if the entire Sect was to work hard for a year, it would merely be able to exchange the fruits of their labor for about one hundred Spiritual stones.

However, it would be fine to spend ten Spiritual stones if Mo Wen could cure Old Grandfather Chen within half a month. Once Old Grandfather Chen was cured, perhaps the crisis of the Intentionless Sect would be resolved.

“To be cured within half a month, that would need twenty Spiritual stones.” Mo Wen shook his head, making it clear that this matter could not be discussed. Then, he changed the subject and said, “Of course, if the Deputy Sect Leader Chen is willing to part with fifty Spiritual stones, I am confident of curing Old Grandfather Chen within a week.” Mo Wen curled his lips into a smile as he looked at Chen Zikuang. He did not seem to think there was a chance he would disagree.

“What! In a week’s time, is that true?” Delight flashed in Chen Zikuang’s eyes. This news was surprising. If Old Grandfather Chen could recover in a week’s time, the Intentionless Sect would most probably come through this crisis successfully.

He believed that even if the Sacred Flame Sect was to fight with all their might, they should be able to obstruct them for a week.

“Of course, always true.” Mo Wen laughed aloud. If Old Grandfather Chen knew that after Mo Wen had extorted him, he was continuing to bargain with Chen Zikuang, he would vomit blood out of rage.

“Are you confident?” Chen Zikuang asked with his brows furrowed. This point was simply too important to the Intentionless Sect.

“I’ll be confident if you have the Spiritual stones.” Mo Wen said indifferently.

Chen Zikuang laughed bitterly as he shook his head before he said, “Fine. Fifty Spiritual stones. I hope that you can do as you said.”

“Then it’s a deal. Let’s go,” he said in a satisfied voice. “Now, we shall see what good things the Intentionless Sect has in its treasure trove… yes, some good medicinal herbs.” Mo Wen began to laugh.

Chen Zikuang was baffled as his forehead darkened. By now, he had some understanding of this fellow’s revolting behavior. Mo Wen was simply shameless. Chen Zikuang was worried about what the consequences of taking Mo Wen to the treasure trove would be. He simply couldn’t imagine.

However, in order to cure Old Grandfather Chen’s condition as soon as possible, Chen Zikuang could only bite the bullet and bring Mo Wen to the Intentionless Sect’s treasure trove.

Both of them, one behind another, walked towards the palace behind the Intentionless Sect.

“Eh, what’s that?” As they were passing by the public square, a weird radiance flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes as he realized that there were piles of stone-like things in the public square. There were many various different piles and some simply looked like small hills.

“Crude ore,” Chen Zikuang said weakly. Although they had not yet reached the treasure trove, his mind was imagining the scene that would pain him.

“Spiritual stone crude ore.” Mo Wen turned his head slightly as he cast a look at a pile of greyish-white big and small stones. His pupils contracted as his facial expression changed suddenly.

That was actually a pile of Spiritual stone crude ore. That would mean that there was actually a Spiritual stone lode in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension! For a moment, Mo Wen felt that his throat was dry. Spiritual stone lode! Regardless of how small the Spiritual stone lode was, it was equivalent to having a gold and silver mountain to him. The Intentionless Sect actually had a Spiritual stone lode. Mo Wen began to think that he had been too merciful in merely asking for fifty Spiritual stones.

“You know about the Spiritual stone crude ore?” Surprise flashed in Chen Zikuang’s eyes. Wasn’t Mo Wen a martial arts practitioner from the main space where resources such as Spiritual stone crude ore were very rare? How did he know about this kind of thing?

The spiritual energies in the main space were very rare, it was questionable if there was an existence of things like the Spiritual stone crude ore.

Mo Wen glanced at Chen Zikuang as if he couldn’t be bothered answering his idiotic question. Then, he glanced at the pile of Spiritual stone crude ore, licked his drying lips and asked, “Why are you pilling the Spiritual stone crude ore in the public square?”

“Originally, the Spiritual stone crude ore is supposed to be transported to Huatian Palace, but since the Sacred Flame Sect had sealed the Intentionless City, we can’t get them out. The store can’t hold the Spiritual stone crude ore so we can only pile it outside,” Chen Zikuang said helplessly. If the Sacred Flame Sect hadn’t sealed Intentionless City, the Spiritual stone crude ore would have been transported to Huatian Palace and they might be able to exchange for the next batch of Spiritual stones.

“The Spiritual stone crude ore can be exchanged for how many Spiritual stones?” Radiance flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes.

“This pile is able to exchange for seventeen to eighteen Spiritual stones. It’s equivalent to the production in a Spiritual stones lode for two months.” Chen Zikuang looked askance at that pile of Spiritual stone crude ore as he estimated.

“Wicked! Thoroughly wicked.” The corners of Mo Wen’s mouth twitched as he felt speechless. So much of the Spiritual stone crude ore could be exchanged for merely ten Spiritual stones. It was simply plundering and exploitation. If this was in the Immortal Cultivation world, more than ten Spiritual stones couldn’t even afford a miner. It was ludicrous that Intentionless Sect was happily working for the Huatian Palace. What is a monopoly? This is a monopoly!

An ancient martial arts sect like the Intentionless Sect could only mine for the Spiritual stone crude ore but couldn’t refine them into Spiritual stones, so they had to trade with Huatian Palace.

This amount of Spiritual stone crude ore could be refined into at least thousands of Spiritual stones. If the Intentionless Sect knew the price of these Spiritual stone crude ore, he wondered what they would think of it.

However, Mo Wen couldn’t tell and didn’t dare to tell about this kind of thing.

“Let’s go, the treasure trove is in front.”

Along the way, Mo Wen discovered that the public square was piled with many different kinds of Spiritual stone crude ore. The majority of them were raw materials used in the Immortal Cultivation world to refine the magical treasures or those special function magical instruments. However, all were basic raw materials and nothing precious.

They walked to a corner of the underground treasure trove. The treasure trove was piled with different kinds of medicinal herbs. Many of them were almost rare precious medicinal herb in the main space. However, they were piled casually on the floor like haystacks in the Intentionless Sect’s store.

“Are there medicinal herbs here that you need?” Chen Zikuang asked.

Mo Wen shook his head decisively. Although the medicinal herbs here were precious, they were not Spiritual medicine. He was here for the Spiritual medicine, he wouldn’t want to be penny wise, pound foolish.

“I can’t use normal medicinal herbs. Only Spiritual medicine can be used.” Mo Wen uttered softly.

“Follow me then…” Chen Zikuang laughed bitterly. He guided Mo Wen towards a small door with a pinch in his heart.

Through the small door, there were layers of defensive measures. Both of them went through twists and turns and finally reached a secret chamber.

The secret chamber was relatively small, about two hundred square meters. There were many shelves, which were made of sandalwood, and there were countless wooden boxes on the shelves.

Mo Wen roughly examined the boxes. Almost every wooden box had a Spiritual medicine in it. There were about two to three thousand boxes in the secret chamber! Mo Wen’s smile on his lips was getting wider and wider. Getting rich! This time he was really getting rich!
