Adam and Beth were shocked by what Alexander said and couldn't help but ask, "And how much is a spiritual stone worth?"
Alexander smiled and said, "Depending on the grade, a ninth grade is worth ten gold coins while an eighth grade is worth a hundred thousand gold coins and seventh grade is worth a trillion white gold."
"Pffffff" So both Beth and Adam spied their tea and almost drowned, incredulous said: "A trillion?!"
It was only at this very moment that Adam and Beth felt poor after all that a seventh grade stone was worth more than a trillion White Gold!
That was more than 6 fucking millions a year in tax collection!
But if this went on in this order, how much was a Sixth Grade stone worth? Don't tell me it's worth ten thousand times more!
"What are you surprised of, As long as you are stronger the miserable continental money loses value, Thus most transactions would be made in spiritual stones!"
Beth barely calmed down and said, "Why are they so expensive?"
"Because the greater the grade of the spiritual stone, the greater and purer the qi it contains, you know an eighth grade stone is more than enough to create a hundred experts, half an Elemental step, not to mention that it can help a person move into the Elemental realm and still have Qi left over from the stone."
"One hundred experts half step like the supreme Elders? My God!"
But then Adam asked: "But then why is the ninth grade stone so cheap compared to the others?"
"That is because it is considered a junk stone by many people it is the worst stone among all, it can only be used by False cultivators and if it wants to be used by an Elemental expert Realm would need a few hundred or thousands to cover a peaceful cultivation and without speaking an Expert in Spirit Realm nor with hundreds of thousands could it cover their need, Most people with great depth give eighth grade stones to their children and do not look at ninth grade stones for them are only junk with impure and scarce qi Besides that is the most common."
Adam and Beth were shocked they had just learned of the existence of spiritual stones and also have just learned that there are people who treat them like trash!
"But why do they treat them like trash?"
Alexander shrugged his shoulders and said: "They must be very powerful so that in a mine of spiritual stones most is a ninth grade, eighth grade are scarce and seventh grade do not exceed two digits but everything depends on the size of the mine, where it is located and how it is mined."
"I've heard from my master that the best mine on the continent is just a mine that can give some third-grade stones and those mines don't exceed ten on the continent."
"Third Grade?!", Adam and Beth could not imagine what a Third Degree spiritual stone would look like.
"Yes, but don't get excited those mines are in the hands of colossal powers that can kill us with the thought besides that those stones are so expensive that with the current income of the family not even in a thousand lives could be bought".
Alexander continued: "At this moment we are one of the countless families on the continent at any moment we could be annihilated by any more powerful enemy and no one would notice but to be stronger we need more resources. Resources that we will never find in this Desolate Earth. So we have two options."
"Go to higher ground and get resources there or make more money doing business."
Adam and Beth saw each other and then focused again on Alexander: "What do you want to do?"
Alexander took a map out of his pocket and said "I want to open a store in the northern states, More specifically the Prim State of the strongest, I will sell a few supreme grades Elementary opening pills and I will make it a Fifth grade mortal country with this the obtaining of resources will be much easier".
Adam could not help but frown and said: "Why do you want to turn the prim state into a mortal country and not the Kingdom of Alba?"
Alexander sighed and said: "The nearest mortal country is the Uri Republic and it is millions of miles while the Prim State is halfway there. This would be much more credible to happen since the prim state has been a near-mortal country for several hundred years.
He saw his grandfather and said: "If the Alba Kingdom becomes a mortal country out of nowhere this will catch the attention of many people and they may not come with good intentions. Many would think that the royal family found a treasure or legacy of someone powerful in the past and it would not be strange to think that many powerful cultivators will come and demand that we give them to them."
"Just think, the Alba Kingdom is a small country on the southern tip of the continent with a deficient Qi, it is impossible for it to turn overnight into a mortal country."
Beth said, "Can't we just explain the situation to them?"
Alexander saw his grandmother and said: "Grandmother, you have to understand something the more powerful the person is the more irrational, Stupid and paranoid".
"If we do what you say, he'll probably kill the whole family first before he hears your explanation. A person like that would only hear your words if you have the same or greater cultivation as him, although there are exceptions as well.
Beth wanted to refute, but she didn't find words, so Adam said, "Would he really kill us just for that? Can he be so cruel?"
Alexander only smiled: "Grandpa, do you have emotions when you crush an ant?"
Adam had a revelation when he heard those words and in the end, he just sighed.
So the old couple was silent.
Seeing the silence Alexander said: "I'm not saying don't breakthrough the Elemental Realm but if you do not make it public anyway being a mortal country is only a matter of time what does it matter if it is a few years later than earlier".
His grandparents remained silent and even after a few minutes said, "How much money do you need?"
Alexander smiled and said, "50,000 gold coins!"
