X-Dragon Era-Chapter 633 - s Era Changes_3

The academy could construct many more teaching buildings and training halls and expand its scale, and Mountain Sea City could build many large functional constructions to perfect the city's functions as well. In addition, the salaries of the Tsunami Gang members could be increased, and everyone, having more money, would be able to accelerate their cultivation speed greatly.

Watching the three leaders' expressions change like shifting clouds, Xin Yun knew... under such circumstances, it was still difficult to get their agreement, but as long as he added a heavyweight chip to the scale, it would tip instantly.

With this thought, Xin Yun took a deep breath and said decisively, "Well... of course, money isn't everything. Many things cannot be bought with money. Therefore... in addition to ten million taels of silver, I will give you an extra one thousand Spirit Stones each year!"

"What!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, the three bigwigs finally changed their expressions simultaneously! Just as Xin Yun had said, money isn't everything. Spirit Stones, for instance, are hard to buy in such quantities even if you have the money.

Typically, Spirit Stones are priced at one thousand gold each, which translates to one hundred thousand silver coins for one yuan. The price is certainly right, but the problem is that the production of Spirit Stones is too low; they only sporadically appear in batches of ten or eight, making it impossible to buy in large quantities.

It's true that Dragon Crystals can also be absorbed, and their effect is not much worse than that of Spirit Stones, but in terms of efficiency, it's a lot worse. Dragon Crystals are man-made, and while they can absorb the same total amount of energy, the absorption takes much longer. However, Spirit Stones are different—they're natural and easy to absorb.

The time it takes to absorb a piece of Dragon Crystal is enough to absorb ten Spirit Stones. And... absorbing too many Dragon Crystals results in very mixed energy that is difficult to control, while Spirit Stones do not have this problem. They're quick and convenient to absorb, with absolutely no issues with control.

Therefore, Spirit Stones have always been priceless, and the idea of collecting a thousand of them, especially a thousand each year, was simply impossible! Their allure was much too great.

Clearly, in terms of market value alone, these one thousand Spirit Stones are worth another ten million taels. Added to the initial ten million taels of silver, Xin Yun had put forth a cost of twenty million taels, especially the one thousand Spirit Stones valued at ten million taels, which were truly irresistible! If the initial offer of ten million taels wasn't enough to move the three bigwigs, then these one thousand Spirit Stones certainly hit them where it hurt.

Although to the outside world they were the dean, the city lord, and the gang leader, they were, first and foremost, Martial Artists; and for a Martial Artist, no matter what their status, what matters most is always their own strength!

Xin Yun proposed one thousand Spirit Stones per year because he had considered it carefully. With over three hundred days in a year, and three top-tier diamond-class experts on the other side, three hundred plus stones for each, totaling one thousand, would mean that if the deal was struck, each of the three bigwigs would have Spirit Stones to use every day. Such a temptation was impossible for them not to be moved by.

On the surface, it may seem like Xin Yun was giving up too much, but in fact... the so-called Spirit Stones were abundant in his world within the pot, even more so than Taiwan Island. In that world within the pot, larger than Taiwan Island, the daily new formation alone amounted to hundreds of millions!

In reality, to Xin Yun and others like him, these Spirit Stones didn't serve too great a purpose. The concentration of Spiritual Energy in the world within the pot had already reached its limit, and any denser it would solidify into Spirit Stones. However, for the outside world, these Spirit Stones were undoubtedly the best aid for cultivation.

Although the development of Mountain Sea Academy was highly valued, when compared to personal strength, external factors were really inconsequential. After exchanging glances, the Dean finally turned around and, smiling, extended his hand to Xin Yun, "Alright then, you win... We can't refuse such conditions."

Gently gripping the Dean's outstretched hand, Xin Yun smiled and said, "That really makes me very happy. Since that is the case, I ask that you prepare the teaching group to be dispatched as soon as possible. The compensation agreed upon in the contract will be delivered along with the instructors when they set out."

Excitedly shaking Xin Yun's hand, the Dean nodded and said, "Rest assured, the teaching group can be dispatched tomorrow. Here... on behalf of the three of us, I guarantee that we will send the very best teaching group to go."

Nodding, Xin Yun smiled and said, "Very well, in that case, let's all hurry to make preparations."

Hearing Xin Yun's words, the three leaders didn't linger with pleasantries, they immediately turned and left the stands. Meanwhile, Xin Yun and his people also made their way out of the stands. Just a few steps out, the person arranged by Kaso came forward to greet them, leading Xin Yun and his group towards the guest room beneath the stands.

Soon... Xin Yun and his team arrived at the guest room. By the door, Chu Rui and Zixia said goodbye to Xin Yun and the others. The reason they didn't follow inside was that the attendants informed them that only Xin Yun, Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, and Ming Xuan were invited to enter, whereas Chu Rui and Zixia were not part of the invitation.

As for the fat man, Xin Yun didn't know much about him, not only unaware of what he intended to do but also clueless as to who he was or where he came from. His only reason for coming was out of consideration for the warm hospitality he had been shown before; it would have been quite difficult to refuse.

After setting a time and place to meet with Chu Rui and Zixia, the four, led by the attendants, proceeded towards the guest room. Pushing open the heavy doors of the guest room, everything inside was revealed before them.
