For someone as experienced as Dong Qian, after he had understood the severity, how could he not know what decision he should make. Without looking at Chen Tong, he turned around and left. He initiated his Qi and disappeared into the void by turning into a wave of light. He instantly disappeared without a trace like wild gooses flying into the unseen world.
The expression on Chen Tong"s face changed drastically. He also clearly realized the danger as he channelled his Qi into his sword and leapt to the sky.
Naturally, Qin Sheng did not need to use the Graceful Spiritual Bow when dealing with a low-level enemy like him. He also flew to the sky and sent a flash of cold light into the sky. Next, he used a sickle-like curved blade and slashed it across the sky as if it was a vicious beast that could tear the void.
Chi Chi!
Before that Chen Tong had time to react, with a sharp and crisp reaping sound, his entire body was cut into two halves by this blade light.
Blood and flesh splattered across the sky and dispersed with the wind. This scene caused Qin Wushuang and Bao Bao to open their mouths wide in shock.
This was power, absolute power.
Even without using the Graceful Spiritual Bow, an elite warrior at the Transformation Void Martial Stage appeared way too insignificant before one at the Profound Void Martial Stage. Iinstantly made Qin Wushuang and the others fully realize that in the Xuan Yuan Mound, the difference between the levels sometimes meant innumerable mountains and valleys.
It meant life and death!
After Qin Sheng had killed Chen Tong, he did not exhibit a single trace of pride at the act. He dropped down and appeared uncaring as if he had just killed a chicken.
Radiant with happiness, Qin Sheng held up the Graceful Spiritual Bow before Qin Wushuang and said: "Young Master Wushuang, I am returning this divine weapon back to its righteous owner. Today, although I did not use this divine bow, I had initiated the power of the bow and borrowed its divine power to strength my aura. Along with some persuasive words, I managed to scare off that guy from the Dark Green Cloud Taoist sect."
This Graceful Spiritual Bow was Qin Wushuang"s most prized equipment. Of course, he would not hold back and took it back. Then, he said with a smile: "Senior Qin Sheng, as of today, the crisis of the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan should be resolved. Only, that person who issued the bounty would not give up. In the future, the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan should stay alert."
Qin Sheng nodded: "Of course. However, it"s not easy for them to deal with the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. If they were truly going to seize our foundation, in the end, even if the clan could not resist them, the other party would waste their efforts. Since the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan had established this foundation and exploited the mines, we are also prepared to destroy everything we have at anytime!"
Inwardly, Qin Wushuang was moved and looked at Qin Sheng with a somewhat surprised look. Indeed, this Hundred Leaf Qin Clan was righteous. Hearing his tone, apparently they were prepared to break the cauldrons and sink the boats.
If worst comes to worst, they would burn both jade and common stone. Even if the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan was destroyed, the outsiders would not gain anything.
Qin Sheng laughed: "Let"s not talk about these negative things. You have helped the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan greatly, Young Master Qin and we have not treated you yet. Please come with me back to the clan."
The crisis had been completely resolved.
Everyone from the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan was delighted.
The dark clouds during this period had lain heavy upon everyone at the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. Many Qin disciples were prepared to burn the jade and the common stone. They never expected that this crisis would be resolved with such ease.
Thus, to Qin Wushuang, this great benefactor, they were naturally friendly and courteous. Not to mention that Qin Wushuang was one of their own clansmen who shared the bloodline of the Qin. Although they came from different branches, in the end, everyone had inherited the bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan in their bones!
While staying for a few days at the Qin castle, under the lead of Patriarch Qin Bolong, Qin Wushuang also toured the crystal stone mine.
Behind the Qin castle, deep inside a few great mountain ranges, were all places that were rich in crystal stones. Although it was not to the extent of the mountains being full of mineral resources, in the Orderly Mountain prefecture, the success rate and production rate of crystal stones were undoubtedly the highest here.
If the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan had not supported the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan, indeed, too many would l.u.s.t after this gigantic crystal mine.
"Young Master Wushuang, the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan requires at least thirty percent of the highest quality crystal stones for operational use and training. It all comes from the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan."
"Crystal stones can also be used for training?" Qin Wushuang was rather curious.
Qin Bolong explained patiently: "The majority of crystal stones cannot be used for individual training. However, besides their use as currency, many high-quality crystal stones are the best raw materials to use for formations, refinement tools, and crafting talismans. Look at the mine that we are walking through right now. Outside this mountain, there are at least three layers of defense. Once the enemies had broken into the Qin castle, we will initiate this defensive formation. If this formation could not resist against the enemies, we will initiate the final destruction formation and destroy all the mines and level everything into the mountains! These formations were set up by the superior elite warriors from the Heavenly Emperor Mountain headquarter."
While Qin Wushuang listened attentively, inwardly, he was astonished. No wonder they were the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan for their decisive aspect. If they could not protect themselves, they would never let it fall into the enemy"s hands!
Bao Bao also praised: "This way, even if Chen Sen and his people break into the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan, they would not be able to do anything to you guys. All the disciples of the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan can just hide in the mines and let this defense formation take care of them!"
Qin Bolong gave a long sigh: "The Hundred Leaf Qin Castle is the foundation of the clan. It is also the first defense barrier. Only in the worst case would we do so, or else, who would be willing to sacrifice that castle? If the castle was broken through, the majority of the Qin disciples would die for the clan."
Qin Wushuang nodded: "Perhaps, only a few higher-ups of the Qin Clan know the secret of this mining mountain, right?"
Qin Bolong was surprised as he did not expect Qin Wushuang had guessed this.
"Indeed, Young Master Wushuang is smart. That"s right. Only the Six Elders and above know the secret of this mine. Normal Hundred Leaf Qin disciples would not learn about it."
"Ha ha, then you still told our Boss, are you not afraid us gossiping?" Bao Bao said mischievously.
"Ha ha, what kind of figure is Young Master Wushuang. Who from the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan doesn"t know him ?"
Qin Wushuang said with a smile: "Please rest a.s.sured, Patriarch, I am not a gossiper. Since this mine is greatly valued by the Heavenly Emperor Qin headquarters, it"s reasonable for it to be top secret news. If outsiders learned too much of it, they would use all their means to deal with these formation. Only in the situation where the outsiders have no knowledge of it could this formation could work as defense against sudden intruders. Additionally, this formation could also help to delay for time until the headquarters send elite warriors to aide."
Inwardly, Qin Bolong was happy when he saw Qin Wushuang had deduced many things from one case. He had a premonition that although Qin Wushuang had come from the human countries, with time, he would become the strongest existence that could share the worries of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain.
He was not inferior in any aspect even if he were to compare with those young disciples from the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan!
It took another three days to tour the mine. Qin Wushuang stayed for another five or six days and had asked to leave with the lingering thoughts in his mind. Of course, the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan would not refuse him from staying.
Before his departure, of course there must be some feasts and gathering. After another two or three days of delay, they would let Qin Wushuang leave.
"Young Master Wushuang, being disciple to the Qin Clan, there are no words to express my appreciation for your help. The benevolence from you to the Qin Clan, the entire clan will not forget." Qin Bolong said with a sincere tone.
He waved his hand and the subordinate offered a tray covered with red silk. When Qin Bolong untied the red silk, it was a plate full of resplendent crystal stones.
The multi-colored crystal stones was a feast for the eyes.
"Young Master Qin, these crystal stones are the clan"s kindly feelings. Please don"t reject it." Qin Bolong looked at Qin Wushuang with a pair of sincere eyes.
Before Qin Wushuang could speak, the Purple Flame Electric Beast started to laugh: "That"s great, Boss, earlier we were worried about money. Now, we don"t need to find p.a.w.n shops and use our equipment"s to exchange for money. Ha ha ha."
Hearing the words from the Purple Flame Electric Beast, Qin Bolong also laughed: "Young Master Wushuang had come to the Xuan Yuan Mound for the first time, and you didn"t know the rules of the Xuan Yuan Mound. We don"t use gold or silver here, and only recognize crystal stones."
"Isn"t that right? Our boss had to give away his valuable equipment." When Bao Bao think back that embarra.s.sing experience, he also laughed mischievously.
Qin Bolon put on a stern voice: "Young Master Wushuang, this one hundred green crystal stone is equivalent to ten thousand gold crystal stones. With these crystal stones, it will ensure you three decades of use. There are three purple crystal stones, the value is equivalent to three hundred green crystal stones!"
Initially, in Forbidden Spiritual Zones like the Xuan Yuan Mound, there were four levels of currency. Silver, gold, green and at the top there were the purple crystal stones.
One purple crystal stone worth one hundred green crystal stones. One green crystal stone was equivalent of one hundred gold crystal stones. And one gold crystal stones worth one hundred silver crystal stones.
By conversion, one purple crystal stone was worth millions of silver crystal stone.
For your information, normally staying at the inn or eating a meal would cost a few dozen silver crystal stones. Three purple crystal stones was worth three million crystal stones.
To Qin Wushuang who was embarra.s.singly short of money, this was a rich amount of goods.
On this tray, there were at least three hundred resplendent crystal stones. Besides the four designated currency crystal stones, the remaining were all training crystal stones.
"Young Master Wushuang, all these crystal stones have their own unique uses. If you put this blue crystal stone into a water attribute formation, it would help to perfect the formation and unleash greater power. This brown crystal stone pairs well with formations with earth attributes. The building of the Hundred Leaf Qin castle had relied on such "Earth Quartz". Not only did it help to stabilize the building, it could also be used to establish a formation, strengthening the sensitivities… And this blood colored crystal stone, this is mercuric sulfide crystal stone and the best material to write talismans with. Ordinary talisman users would l.u.s.t after such crystal stones."
"Another example, this black crystal stone seems no different to ordinary stones. In fact, it is the best raw material to make weapons. Even the most broken common weapons would become something magical if mixed a little with this crystal stone."
Qin Bolong explained patiently and talked about the approximate usage of these crystal stones. Qin Wushuang secretly tried to remember it all as he kept nodding.
With the unlimited magical applications of these crystal stones, it would be impolite if Qin Wushuang were to turn it down.
