Chapter 1018 The Sunset City Lord’s poisonous plan
"Oh, by the way, sir, a strange thing happened in Sunset City recently."
The hook-nosed old man whispered, and without waiting for the latter's reply, he immediately added, "I thought about it for a while, but I have to let the young master know about this."
The obese monk slowed down and his eyes fell on the hook-nosed old man casually, "Weird thing? What weird thing?"
The hook-nosed old man suppressed his voice and whispered: "In Sunset City, there have been a lot of high-grade spiritual stones in recent days." ??
"Send a lot of...high-grade spirit stones? How many can there be? A dozen? A dozen? Twenty?"
The fat monk was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked unconcerned.
The hook-nosed old man shook his head and said solemnly: "It's not a dozen or twenty, but...a hundred?"
The fat monk pondered for a moment and continued: "Hundreds? There are countless secret treasures in the Endless Sea. In addition, the auction is about to start. There are hundreds of high-grade spiritual stones appearing. Although it is indeed a lot, it should not be surprising. ”
"It would be a pity to have so many spiritual stones wandering outside. In this way, you can arrange for someone to secretly trade those high-grade spiritual stones."
"Don't worry, sir. The moment I learned the news by accident, I had already arranged for someone to do it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have learned so much news!" The hook-nosed old man responded quickly.
After saying that, he pondered for a while and continued, "It's just that if the Golden Core Stage monks take action, it may not be surprising. But the strange thing about this is that these high-grade spiritual stones all flowed from the hands of some Foundation Establishment Stage monks."
"Especially in just three to five days, hundreds of them were revealed, which means that there are definitely more in the opponent's hands."
The fat monk reacted immediately and blurted out: "What Mr. Yan means is that there are foundation-building monks who have discovered a high-grade spiritual stone mine?"
But as soon as the words came out, Fenglingyou couldn't help but remember that in the 'Yinfeng Mansion' cave, Fengling You had just started to see the change in Su Twelve's storage bag expression.
The hook-nosed old man nodded aside, "I'm afraid, this is the only explanation."
"In the East China Sea Islands, many foundation-building casual cultivators often risk their lives to hunt for treasures in the sea in order to cultivate resources. To say that there is a high-grade spiritual stone mine, it is... not impossible!"
"Master, do you think this matter needs to be investigated?"
The obese monk stopped at the entrance of the courtyard and muttered: "The investigation must be carried out, but according to my opinion... there may be another mystery to this matter."
"What do you say?" Upon hearing this, the hook-nosed old man was startled.
The fat monk was not in a hurry to explain, but asked.
"If I remember correctly, Fenglingyou has not only sold various treasures in exchange for spiritual stones over the years. He has also exchanged many high-grade spiritual stones from the hands of monks from various forces?"
The hook-nosed old man lowered his head and looked at the black crutch in his hand.
"Well...it's true. Even the old slave used two high-grade spiritual stones to get a piece of quite rare thousand-year-old black-gold wood from his hands. If it weren't for this black-gold wood, he wouldn't be able to refine it. The second-grade magic weapon, the black gold life-killing staff!”
"Young Master suddenly asked about this matter. Could it be that... you suspect that the person behind the exchange of high-grade spiritual stones is Fengling You?"
The obese monk shook his head and said: "No... Since Fenglingyou has spent a lot of energy trying to exchange for high-grade spiritual stones, how can he do it easily."
"But, you said there was
There is no possibility that the group of people who bought the 'Yinfeng Mansion' used... high-grade spiritual stones? "
"For a person who is in urgent need of a spiritual stone or a high-grade spiritual stone, what else... can be more attractive than a high-grade spiritual stone?"
The fat monk became more and more excited as he spoke. Two bright lights flashed before his eyes, and he immediately thought of a plan.
Two seemingly unrelated things were quickly connected by his divergent thinking at this moment.
The hook-nosed old man was slightly startled and understood instantly.
However, after thinking for a moment, he frowned, shook his head and said, "This is... unlikely, right?"
"Even if those people trade high-grade spiritual stones, in Sunset City, the exchange price for high-grade spiritual stones is no more than a 30% premium to the standard price."
"It's impossible that Fenglingyou doesn't know this. With twice the price difference and 30% premium, it shouldn't be difficult to choose."
The obese monk squinted his eyes and kept moving, "The 30% premium is true, but the problem is, even if there are enough low-grade spiritual stones, there must be so many high-grade spiritual stones circulating in the market, right?"
"It is not easy to exchange for high-grade spiritual stones worth six to seven hundred thousand or even more in a short period of time."
"In addition, according to what you said, a large number of high-grade spiritual stones were circulated in just three to five days. Including that it takes a certain amount of time for the incident to ferment, the time coincides with the appearance of those who hurt me in Sunset City."
"If the hundreds of high-grade spiritual stones that suddenly appeared in Sunset City were not discovered by the foundation-building monks, but were merely taken care of on their behalf. Then... it makes sense. Therefore, the people behind this matter are naturally those monks No doubt."
The hook-nosed old man shook his head, looked at the fat monk in front of him thoughtfully, and said: "Between Yi Lao Nu, this...these two are not directly related. The young master forcibly connected this matter, only Are you afraid of something wrong?”
"In the world of cultivating immortals, which monk would not want a high-grade spiritual stone, especially... a monk at the Golden Core stage or even higher."
"Let's not talk about whether those people have a large number of high-grade spiritual stones in their hands. Even if they do, how can they be willing to take them out and exchange them for ordinary spiritual stones?"
The fat monk smiled indifferently and said calmly, "Of course I understand what you said, and this is what I find strange. But... my intuition tells me that there must be a connection between the two."
"As for whether it is or is not, we will know after checking. Do you remember Mu Feiyan's group? My master was seriously injured before, so Mu Feiyan must have been rescued by the other party."
"The high-grade spiritual stones began to leak out among the foundation-building monks. Those who have just arrived, and those who can come into contact and establish a trusting relationship are...only Mu Feiyan and his group."
The hook-nosed old man nodded and said: "In that case, the old slave will start investigating after he returns. But what if... they have nothing to do with this matter?"
Obviously, he still remains skeptical about the fat monk's intuition and speculation.
Two cold gleams flashed in the eyes of the obese monk, and he sneered: "It doesn't matter? Whether there is a relationship or not is not important. What is important is that this matter can only be true, not false."
"Investigate as soon as possible. If my guess is correct, we will act secretly. There will be a large number of high-grade spiritual stones and there will be no room for error."
"If the guess is wrong... then secretly spread the news to all the forces in the Thirteenth Wu of the East China Sea. With their abilities, it is impossible for them not to know that there are high-grade spiritual stones in Sunset City. I don't believe that the more powerful forces will Are you really not curious at all? "Oh, by the way, sir, something strange happened in Sunset City recently."
The hook-nosed old man whispered, and without waiting for the latter's reply, he immediately added, "I thought about it for a while, but I have to let the young master know about this."
