It was not easy to attract all the major clans over. Each clan had their own ideas and main areas of activity. Clans that were too far away from Luoyang City would not rashly come here to snatch food from others.
Even though all the clans now understood the importance of cultivation and were very concerned about the control of underground resources, the clans were best at risk management and choosing what to give and what not to give.
All the major clans would focus on cultivating geniuses, such as Chen Zu'an of the Chen family, Xu Wennuan of the Xu family, and Gao Shenyin of the Gao family in Yunnan. Cultivating a genius required countless resources, and this was the difference between ordinary Dao Yuan class students and the disciples of the major clans.
Nie Ting once wanted to fight for a way out for the poor cultivators in the world. Therefore, he maintained a high degree of principle from the beginning and rejected the major clans at the door. No one could fake their contributions. Those who did not have the aptitude would not open the back door just because the other party was a disciple of a major clan.
He felt that the day when the path of cultivation was not completely controlled by the major clans would be the day when the Tengra Earth Net would be full of talents. He believed that in this era, geniuses would definitely appear!
In fact, Lü Shu did not know that while he was going to Japan, all the other A-grade geniuses who participated in the special training, including Cao Qingci and Chen Zu'an, were all sent out to carry out missions.
Chen Zu'an was also very unlucky. He had thought that participating in the training with the geniuses would be a good thing, but he ended up being targeted by Principal Nie Ting Nie …
In fact, Nie Ting had sent them out to carry out missions because he felt that they did not have a strong smell of blood on them. They had not truly realized what the cultivation world was like.
These A-grade geniuses could only become the true mainstay after experiencing hardships and blood.
If there were any A-grade geniuses who died during the mission, would Nie Ting feel the pain? Yes.
However, steel could not be tempered. Elite soldiers and strong generals had to be trained.
Therefore, while Lü Shu was growing, Nie Ting was also exerting pressure on the other geniuses. At this moment, Cao Qingci was hiding in a desert somewhere, burying himself in the sand for a day and a night.
She had patiently lurked here just to hunt down three defectors of the Tengra Terra Net. They had escaped from the northwest after selling the internal information of the Tengra Terra Net. Cao Qingci wanted to bring their heads back to complete her mission.
Tengra's Earth Net did not sit back and watch the geniuses grow freely. Instead, it chose to put more pressure on them. Otherwise, how could they establish themselves in front of the descendants of the clans who possessed enormous resources?
At this moment, Li Yixiao was sending a signal to all the great clans. He was prepared to leave Luoyang City's black market, but he still had a few thousand spirit stones that he needed to sell. He was seeking cooperation from the great clans. Genuine spirit stones. You won't suffer a loss if you buy them, and you won't be fooled …
All the great clans were speechless. Why did it seem like they were selling goods from street stalls? However, Li Yixiao's intentions were also very clear: the black market would belong to whoever accepted the spirit stones in his hands.
When the great clans heard this, they became very interested. Was this Tengra Li intending to make a profit and then stop? However, they could not figure it out. Didn't the outside world say that this Tengra Li was extremely poor? Where did he get so many spirit stones?
Regardless, it was still a good thing to go and take a look at the situation. If the spirit stones were in the tens of thousands, it would be a little difficult for them to accept them. After all, they had billions of cash flow, so why couldn't they invest in something else? They did need spirit stones, but if they were to withdraw too much money, it would be useless to buy so many spirit stones!
In the past, all the great clans had thought that spirit stones might become the currency of the cultivation world. However, they now realized that this was not the case. There were many things about currency, such as the amount of circulation, the exchange rate, and so on. However, they still had no idea where there were more spirit stones in the world and where there were fewer spirit stones.
It was not that spirit stones could not be used as currency, but that everyone was still observing and waiting for the new order to be completely established.
Therefore, the greater significance of spirit stones was still their existence as a cultivation resource.
All the great clans made their move the moment they received Li Yixiao's message. The coordinates of Luoyang City were the sacred grounds of the seven great cultivation academies. The black market there was bound to be of great importance!
…
Far away in the capital, Nie Ting frowned as he looked at the document in his hand. "I've really written a self-reflection for nothing …"
The document showed that Li Yixiao had contacted 11 well-known clans in the country and released the news that he was going to sell thousands of spirit stones at the black market. Five of them had not made a move because they were too far away. They were afraid that even if they managed to take over the black market this time, it would be swallowed up by other clans in the future.
This was like a lone chess piece in a game of Go. It was a risky move. Perhaps one chess piece could win the entire game, but they dared not take the risk.
The other six clans had already sent their representatives to Luoyang City. On one hand, they wanted to take over the spirit stones to provide for the younger members of their clans. On the other hand, they had their eyes on the strategic location of Luoyang City's black market.
Shi Xuejin asked curiously, "He must have teamed up with Lü Shu. Otherwise, with how poor he is … where would he get the spirit stones …"
"It must be Lv Shu. However, this also matches up with our guess. He does have a few thousand Spirit Stones that he obtained from the Gods Fair." Nie Ting's eyebrows relaxed.
"Are you thinking whether you should take the initiative to break the ice and talk to Lü Shu?" Shi Xuejin put the book in his hand aside. "I think there's no harm in talking to him to break the deadlock."
Nie Ting's eyebrows twitched slightly. "It doesn't matter. It's only a few thousand spirit stones. It won't be a mess. This time, he has tasted a little sweetness. Maybe he will go overseas on his own. "
After a long silence, Nie Ting suddenly said, "The puppeteer wanted to establish himself in Europe, but ended up in a draw with the Faith Theory Department. I guess he may give up Europe and turn his attention to other places."
"With the Order of the Phoenix and the Saints in America, I'm afraid his chances are not high. I'm afraid his target will be the Middle East and Australia. I'm more inclined to think that he will go to the Middle East to develop his own forces." Nie Ting voiced out his speculation.
Shi Xuejin thought for a moment. "Is it possible to recruit cultivators from India?"
At this time, India was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. They had lost almost all their masters. Moreover, they were relatively rich in cultivation resources and had a large population. It was not impossible for many cultivators to sell their souls to demons in order to become stronger, even if they knew that the puppeteer might not be human.
Moreover, the puppeteer's methods were a bit evil!
Nie Ting said, "Pay more attention, but I can't care about this now. The day after tomorrow, I will set off for Changbai Mountain."
Shi Xuejin nodded. "Okay, this matter is more important."
The two did not say what was so important that Nie Ting had to put down everything and go to Changbai Mountain.
