The Sorrowmender

PAID Chapter 136

Xu Qingzhou took a deep breath, realizing that he was increasingly unable to see through this girl.

Sometimes she was wise, sometimes adorably silly, sometimes calm, and she had a knack for feigning ignorance.

While others' attempts at playing dumb were full of flaws, hers were always just right.

If she were in the present day, wouldn't she be an award-winning actress?

But he wasn't in the mood to play along with her act, and with a furrowed brow, he said, "Speak plainly?"

Xu Qingzhou was a bit stern, the first time he had been this way with her.

Cangyue Xinyin, seeing the usually good-natured Mister displeased, put away her little antics, stuck out her tongue, and earnestly said:

"Spirit Stones. The reason they are willing to be loyal to our royal family is because of the Spirit Stones."

"Spirit Stones?"

"Yes, that's right. Our family has a mine, and the spiritual vein produces thousands of Spirit Stones each year, which can be harvested once a year. Mister knows that in the Mortal Province, spiritual energy is scarce. Cultivators reach a bottleneck at the Golden Elixir stage, and relying solely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is slow. But with Spirit Stones, it's different. They are said to be crystallized spiritual energy, rich in spiritual power, and can enhance one's cultivation. They serve the royal family for the Spirit Stones, and our Cangyun clan also relies on them to control these powerful cultivators."

Cangyue Xinyin pouted and continued, "In the end, it's a transaction, each taking what they need."

Xu Qingzhou naturally understood. In this world, if not for fame, then for profit. To cultivators, the power of a mortal dynasty holds little meaning, so it's about profit.

"I see."

Cangyue Xinyin pursed her lips and whispered, "Actually, Mister, you don't even need to ask to know that those people must have been sent by Duke Wei."
