"good!"
Guo Feng's idea was just a sudden whim; he simply used the Immortal Vein as leverage to force the opposition and neutral factions to make a decision.
Of course, there was also a hint to everyone that they wanted to hand over the immortal veins.
Although he earns eight or nine hundred million spirit stones every day, he is still struggling to make ends meet.
The system's ability to reclaim spiritual veins can significantly increase asset value.
Even a dried-up immortal vein can definitely yield a lot of benefits!
Therefore, he also took the opportunity to test everyone's attitude.
When Zhang Yushu stepped forward, he pointed out the pros and cons and took the lead, which prompted the other four families to express their opinions.
In this way, he can benefit from at least five immortal veins.
This made him somewhat hopeful.
He glanced at Zhang Yushu, Sima Han, and the others, and smiled, "Indeed, I do possess a profound skill that requires a celestial vein. I am very pleased that you are all willing to relinquish your celestial veins. Of course, although this celestial vein was bestowed by the Celestial Emperor Haotian, and it would be only right for me to take it back, since you have followed me, I will not be stingy."
He paused for a moment and said, "I promise you that any family that follows me and hands over its immortal lineage to my family will receive 50 low-grade immortal stones every year."
"What? Fifty low-grade immortal stones?"
"Now that the immortal veins are dried up, the yield is only one or two per year. Now it's only fifty per year?"
"Where does the young master get such confidence? There are no immortal veins in the mortal realm, so there can be no immortal stones. Moreover, the immortal veins in the mortal realm wither a hundred times faster than those in the immortal realm!"
Everyone was shocked; it was utterly unbelievable.
You should know that, according to the system's price, a single immortal stone is worth one hundred million spirit stones.
Fifty pieces a year, which is five billion spirit stones.
Of course, while 5 billion spirit stones is a large sum for an ancient family, it's not too bad.
But you can't buy magic stones!
Even if you offer 10 billion or 100 billion, no one would trade it unless they were desperate!
This is what you call a rare commodity that can be hoarded!
"Young Master, if all twelve families follow you, you'll have to pay 600 immortal stones a year!"
Sima Han was so frightened that he quickly reminded Guo Feng.
For a leader, breaking promises is a major taboo. If Guo Feng makes empty promises and fails to deliver on them, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Guo Feng laughed and said, "Don't worry, Ancestor Sima Han, I mean what I say."
So what if it's 600 immortal stones? It's just 60 billion low-grade spirit stones. With his current income, that'll be enough in two or three months.
Moreover, once the twelve immortal veins are recovered, the benefits will be extraordinary.
600 immortal stones are nothing to them.
As he spoke, he waved his hand again, "Let me make this clear for now. Since the five of you have agreed to give me the immortal vein, I will have each of you pay a deposit of ten immortal stones."
After he finished speaking, fifty beams of seven-colored light, along with crystal-clear immortal stones, flew towards Sima Han, Zhang Yushu, and the others.
These people simply gestured, and ten celestial stones brimming with magical energy surrounded them.
This thrilled them.
In the cultivation of immortality, enlightenment is one aspect, but refining immortal energy is of paramount importance.
Both are indispensable.
Why do their progress become increasingly slow after reaching the Xuanxian realm?
There are just too few immortal stones!
Not ethereal enough!
It can be said that the current immortal lineage can no longer guarantee that these True Immortals, Celestial Immortals, and Profound Immortals will not fall from their realms.
If it weren't for the many ancient caves and folded spaces within the Nine Heavens Thunderclouds, where one could find immortal stones and elixirs, they would have already begun to regress.
Guo Feng offered ten immortal stones in one go.
How could they not be shocked!
At this moment, Guo Feng added, "This is nothing. In the future, I will reward everyone with more immortal stones based on their performance. Moreover, in the Holy Land of China, each family's ancestor should have left behind sects or clan territories, which should contain many benefits. If you come with me, the inheritances of each family's ancestor will also be yours."
He can exchange his immortal stones for spirit stones, so he is not worried about not being able to provide immortal stones.
He had also learned from his conversation with Sima Han that his father had taken away most of the experts from the twelve families.
Therefore, he concluded that each family's ancestor must have left behind a legacy.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of those who were neutral and even those in the opposition lit up, as if they were about to change their minds.
Some people even want to come out and make a statement.
Guo Feng waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's enough for today. I'll give you ten days to think it over. Once you've made up your mind, come find me in the Sima clan's territory. Now, leave."
He wasn't deliberately trying to pique people's interest; he only had twenty or thirty immortal stones left.
Even if these people express their willingness to pay, he will not be able to provide a sufficient deposit.
If he can't come up with the deposit, the authority he just established will be affected.
His words elicited a hint of regret in many people's eyes.
At this moment, Sima Han also said, "Everyone should go back and think carefully about what the young master has to say. Let's disperse."
Although the group was somewhat disappointed, they had no choice but to leave since the matter had been discussed.
"Young Master, what should we do next?"
Sima Han looked at Guo Feng and asked.
"Are you sure you want to give me the immortal lineage of your Sima family?"
Guo Feng countered with a question.
"The deposit has already been received, that's for sure," Sima Han hurriedly replied.
"Alright, let's go to the place where your immortal veins are located."
Guo Feng didn't want to delay; getting the immortal vein as soon as possible would be the best outcome.
"Yes, young master, please."
Sima Han nodded and immediately took Guo Feng and flew towards the central area of the Sima family's territory.
This place is somewhat similar to the spiritual vein mining area of the Chaos Empire, with many buildings constructed here and protected by array formations and barriers.
They passed through the array barrier and arrived above a huge abyss.
The place exudes a faint ethereal aura, possessing the power of a celestial dragon vein, yet it also carries a sense of decay.
Besides producing immortal stones, this kind of immortal vein can also suppress the fortune of a family, ensuring its long-lasting prosperity.
However, this immortal vein clearly no longer possesses this ability.
"Then I'll accept it?"
Guo Feng nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Sima Han.
Sima Han waved his hand: "Please make yourself at home, young master."
"good."
Guo Feng did not hesitate and immediately used the Great Sumeru Hand, covering an area of hundreds of kilometers. He dug down into the earth, penetrating nearly a kilometer.
Above the massive hand of Mount Sumeru, rolling thunder roared, breaking through all obstacles and unleashing immense power to slowly peel away an incredibly heavy immortal vein from the earth.
This actually tests one's control over magical power; too little power will be insufficient, while too much power may cause an explosion.
But Guo Feng was very experienced, and he was confident from the start. Half an hour later...
A massive, ethereal, yet somewhat broken celestial vein appeared in the sky.
"Okay, sure."
"Recycle!"
Guo Feng was overjoyed. With a thought, he immediately manipulated the system to reclaim the immortal vein.
In the blink of an eye, this immortal vein vanished!
