g it only takes 10 minutes"Ye Bufan said: "You said that the title 'Divine Needle King' was self-proclaimed. With your level, you don't deserve those three words at all.""You... a mere child, with onl...Xi Men Feng had just finished his cultivation, the grand consummation peak realm was completely stable. Seeing Ye Bufan come to the door, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter Just call me over."

After receiving such great benefits, her attitude towards Ye Bufan is now extremely respectful.

"The Elder speaks too kindly. There is something I would like to ask you about."

Ye Bufan said, "Do you know where to find top-grade spirit stones"

"You said it!"

Ximen Feng was stunned for a moment, then said, "Top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare and can only be born in places with extremely rich spiritual energy."

In the Kunlun Continent, Tianwu State naturally has the most, followed by Tianmang State, and there are also Tiansheng States. As for my Tianqiong State, there are very few.

As she spoke, a luminous spirit stone appeared in her palm.

"Master Ye, I happen to have one here. If you need it, just take it."

Ye Bufan was both surprised and delighted. He originally just wanted to come over to inquire about the news of the top-grade spirit stone, but he didn't expect that Xi Men Feng actually had one in his hand.

He took the spirit stone in his hand, and immediately felt a surge of incredibly pure spiritual energy wash over him. It was far more powerful than even high-grade spirit stones.

This is not just a matter of quantity, the quality is also completely different.

"How embarrassing is this"

Ye Bufan really wanted to get this top-grade spirit stone, but he also knew that this thing was extremely precious, and for a moment he couldn't bear to lose face.

Seeing what he was thinking, Ximen Feng said: "Physician Immortal, you don't need to be polite. Since you can help me improve my cultivation, this spirit stone is nothing at all."

"Well then, I'll take them for now. Elder Grandmaster, just let me know if you need anything else in the future."

Ye Bufan didn't continue with the pleasantries, directly putting the top-grade spirit stones into his storage ring.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he asked, "Elder Master, why is there a top-grade spirit stone here, but when I robbed the three elders of the Demon Gate before, I didn't get even one Not even from Qian Wuji, the head of the Limitless Hall."

Ximen Feng explained: "That's it, in the sect, top-grade spirit stones are absolutely scarce resources."

As for our Jiǔfàn Xiāngū, it's only used when a high-ranking elder in the Great Vehicle stage tries to break through to the next level. Otherwise, it is stored in the sect's treasure vault.

This time, it was your senior sister who went to the Wujizong to help you guard that seal. She felt that I might be able to reach the peak of Great Ascension at any time, so she gave me a top-grade spirit stone before leaving.

I'm not too sure about the specifics of other sects, but based on what you just said, it seems reasonable. After all, top-grade spirit stones are incredibly rare.

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded, and then he understood the joints. It seemed that this top-grade spirit stone was not an ordinary treasure.

He asked again, "Can this be bought at the Gathering Treasure Pavilion How many high-grade spirit stones would it take to exchange for one"

"Generally speaking, a top-grade spirit stone would sell for roughly one million high-grade spirit stones..."

Ximen Feng had just finished speaking when Ye Bufan was startled and exclaimed, "One million top-grade spirit stones for a single top-grade spirit stone That's so expensive"

He was truly shocked. Before this, the exchange ratio for spirit stones had always been one to one hundred.

One hundred low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one mid-grade spirit stone, and one hundred mid-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one high-grade spirit stone.

Who knew that when they got to the top-grade spirit stones, a surprising exchange ratio appeared out of nowhere – a staggering one to one million.

"That's true, and it's priceless. It's usually unavailable for purchase."

The Treasure Pavilion in Tianluo State is definitely out of the question, and while there might occasionally be one in Tianqiong State, it's extremely rare.

As far as I know, the situation in Tiansheng Prefecture is a bit better, but it's not something you can just buy with money. You need to make a reservation in advance, and there's no guarantee that you'll be able to get one.

Ximen Feng explained, "This is actually the principle of scarcity making something valuable. Low-grade spirit stones, mid-grade spirit stones, and high-grade spirit stones are all used as currency among cultivators."

But this top-grade spirit stone is different. It's a truly rare resource. Even if someone had it, they wouldn't use it.

Upon hearing this, Ye Bufan understood many things. At its core, the superior spirit stone played an irreplaceable role.

For example, his breakthrough this time originally had three hundred million top-grade spirit stones. If he took them to the Gathering Treasure Pavilion to exchange, he should be able to get three hundred top-grade spirit stones.

As for him, even if there were three billion top-grade spirit stones, it wouldn't be enough to help him break through the Void Core Stage.

Based on his recent understanding of the top-grade spirit stone, he believed that ten of them should be enough for him to advance. This demonstrated the rarity and value of a top-grade spirit stone, as quantity alone could not replace the change in quality.

The truth is now clear, but the problem now is that he has completely depleted all the high-grade spirit stones in his possession. Not to mention that Baobao Pavilion doesn't have top-grade spirit stones, even if it did, he couldn't afford them.

Seeing him like this, Ximen Feng said: "I received a little piece of information before, that the prize for this Genius Demon Contest is supposed to be top-grade spirit stones."

First place gets five stars, second place gets three stars, and third place gets one star.

"Really Is this news accurate"

Ye Bufan's eyes lit up instantly. This was absolutely great news for him now.

Ximen Feng nodded. “It should be true.”

"Great!"

Ye Bufan was filled with excitement, whether it was to bring back Leng Qingqiu or for these five top-grade spirit stones, he had to win the championship of this competition.

Taking a deep breath to calm his excited heart, he asked again: "By the way, Elder, who is the organizer of this Heavenly Talent War Who will be hosting tomorrow's competition"

Ximen Feng explained: "The Genius and Prodigy Tournament was originally hosted by the five major states of Kunlun Continent, with each state's nine-star sect recommending one Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to form a joint elder council. "

But later, the Tianluo State declined too quickly, it didn't even have a single Nine-Star Sect, let alone powerful cultivators in the Great Ascension Stage.

Then, the qualification of Tianluo State was revoked, and the royal families of the four continents took over as the hosts.

Hearing this, Ye Bufan sighed. It seemed that the weak had no right to speak.

Ximen Feng continued, "As for this particular competition, Tianwu State recommends Hua Sijin, the Grand Elder of Huajian Pai. Tianmang State recommends Jue Ran, the Grand Elder of Jueqing Valley. Tian Sheng State is represented by Li Miaozhen, the Grand Elder of Hanjian Xianzong. And as for Tianqiong State, I am their representative."

On the imperial side, it is Prince Shenwu Bai Li Xingkong who presides over.

Ye Bufan nodded, thinking to himself that this world was indeed wondrous. Out of the five Joint Elders, he had already met three.

She then learned more about the specifics of the competition. As an elder of the Jiuxing Sect and one of the five elders this time, Ximen Feng had access to much more information than Qin Biyao.

The two chatted for a while longer, and it was already late at night. Ximen Feng returned to the location of Tianqiong Prefecture Post Station.

Ye Bufan returned to his room, unable to contain his excitement. He took out the top-grade spirit stone once again.

As soon as he got it in his hands, the rich spiritual energy filled him with comfort from head to toe.

After feeling it carefully again, I'm sure that as long as I have ten top-grade spirit stones, I can successfully break through to the Void Core Stage.

"Indeed, this is a good thing. I must get my hands on those five top-grade spirit stones!"

Ye Bufan had already made up his mind, he must get the championship of this Genius Monster Race.d obeyed only the royal ancestors. But just now, Du Guhong had shown no reverence for his own master whatsoever.Talking nonsense, and keeping his mouth shut is also nonsense. This enraged him greatly....
