"Oh?"

Su Han squinted his eyes: "Which three sects?"

"Dragon Cloud Sect, Frost Sect, Tai Ling Palace!"

Liuyun said in a deep voice: "These three sects are Entry-Level Sects, comparable to the former Silver Moon Sect and Hidden Blood Sect."

"I’ve investigated, and in each sect, there are at least fifty million disciples, with very strong overall power."

"The sect masters of these three sects are Grand Strongers of the Fourth Grade Divine Sea Realm, stronger than the previous Silver Moon Sect and Hidden Blood Sect sect masters. Besides them, there are many other strong individuals. If only counting high-ranking strong forces, even Hidden Blood Sect and Silver Moon Sect cannot compare."

"Fourth Grade Divine Sea Realm?"

Hearing this, Ling Xiao and Ye Xiaofei exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but smile.

Grand Strongers? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Fourth Grade Divine Sea Realm, in their current eyes, might not even be considered ants...

Liuyun did not notice their expressions and continued: "These three sects are extremely domineering, especially the Frost Sect. Upon discovering the Spirit Crystal Vein, they didn’t care at all and immediately started expelling our Phoenix Sect disciples. If those disciples hadn’t seen the situation was wrong and retreated immediately, they probably wouldn’t have had a chance to return."

"When was this Spirit Crystal Vein discovered?" Su Han asked.

"Twenty days ago."

Liuyun said: "If nothing unexpected happens, those three sects should have already started mining the Spirit Crystal Vein, as they wouldn’t simply leave such a vein unattended."

"Because of this Spirit Crystal Vein, Deputy Sect Master once gathered many high-level members of the Phoenix Sect for a meeting to discuss whether we should go and compete for it, as the Mixed Spirit Star originally does not belong to any force, and we were the first to discover this Spirit Crystal Vein. Speaking of snatching, it’s those few sects snatching from us first."

"However, everyone ultimately decided to wait until you return, Sect Master, before deciding."

"Among the three sects, there are probably no fewer than ten strong individuals of the Divine Sea Realm, and all the disciples combined at least number one hundred and fifty million. Even with the help of Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, it would be difficult to contend with them."

"Hmm..."

Su Han nodded: "That’s the right approach, one must not be blindly impulsive. People die for wealth, birds die for food; these sayings have a basis. The greatest reason anyone can survive is not because of their strength, but because of how good their patience is!"

These words, Liuyun and others obviously did not understand.

Only someone like Su Han, who has lived for billions of years, could really understand what the word ’patience’ should mean.

"Sect Master, then what should we do?"

Liuyun asked again: "Though I’m not sure how large that Spirit Crystal Vein is, I feel it shouldn’t be small, because the day after discovering the Spirit Crystal Vein, these three great sects joined forces to block more than eighty percent of Mixed Spirit Star’s teleportation formations! Why would they do something so strange unless necessary?"

Su Han pondered: "Regardless of whether the Spirit Crystal Vein is large or small, it’s necessary for us to acquire this vein due to the coexistence of Spirit Crystals and Demon Crystal Stones."

"Because in places where Demon Crystal Stones and Spirit Crystals coexist, generally, Star Crystals are present!"

"And Star Crystals are far more precious than Spirit Crystals; even a single Star Crystal can be traded for hundreds, even over a thousand!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped deeply.

They naturally knew about Star Crystals, but it was their first time hearing about the true value of Star Crystals.

A single Demon Crystal Stone could sell for the price of a thousand Spirit Crystals, but a single Star Crystal was worth hundreds, even up to a thousand Demon Crystal Stones!

What sort of concept is this?

A single Star Crystal...

Equals at least hundreds of thousands, even a million Spirit Crystals!!!

Who wouldn’t covet such precious items?

"Is the sect master’s intention... that our Phoenix Sect must compete for that Spirit Crystal Vein?" Liuyun’s eyes showed a glimmer of hope.

Since the battle with the Hidden Blood Sect, the Phoenix Sect hasn’t truly flexed its muscles for a long time, and this heart unsatisfied with ordinary seems to endure no longer...

"Is there a teleportation formation of our Phoenix Sect on Mixed Spirit Star?" Su Han asked.

"There was before, but they’ve all been destroyed by those three sects." Liuyun said solemnly.

A cold light flashed in Su Han’s eyes as he stood up and said, "I need to cultivate during this time and will be temporarily unavailable, but it won’t be more than two months."

"When will Xuanyuan Qiong come out of the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son?"

"It should be soon, at most twenty days." Liuyun replied.

"Alright, when he comes out, have him lead some men to Mixed Spirit Star, telling those sects that our Phoenix Sect only wants Star Crystals; as for Spirit Crystals and Demon Crystal Stones, we’ll leave them to them."

"If they’re willing, then we’ll mine together; if not... then we’ll wait until I come out to talk further."

"No need to say, they definitely won’t agree..."

Liuyun said in a low voice: "In their eyes, our Phoenix Sect can easily be crushed."

"That’s their problem."

Su Han said calmly: "We discovered the Spirit Crystal Vein initially, but it was snatched from us by them. This is reason, and we are sending people now to discuss, which implies sentiment."

"With both sentiment and reason on our side, if they still disagree, then our Phoenix Sect has no need to give them any face!"

"Yes!"

Liuyun’s body shook with excitement.

"By the way."

Su Han suddenly added: "After Lian Yuze comes out, have him go to any Artifact Refining Association to buy Demon Crystal Cannons, low-level ones purchase ten thousand, intermediate-level ones purchase a hundred, high-level ones purchase ten. Bring enough Spirit Crystals, the cost of buying Demon Crystal Cannons will be significant, especially intermediate and high-level ones."

"Alright." Ling Xiao nodded again.

Su Han and Ling Xiao had nearly ten trillion Spirit Crystals on hand, and now the Phoenix Sect is quite affluent.

Like Dragon Cloud Sect and Frost Sect, these sects, their total wealth can’t be said to be less than ten trillion, perhaps even more.

But they have many people to support, and the daily expenses are enormous.

While the Phoenix Sect is different.

Right now, these ten trillion Spirit Crystals mean a lot to the Phoenix Sect, but considering a bit, it might not be that much.

Buying Demon Crystal Cannons alone would consume quite a bit.

But similarly, Su Han isn’t buying these Demon Crystal Cannons for display.

Since they are going to compete, Su Han doesn’t intend to only compete for the Spirit Crystal Vein, nor does he intend to spare Dragon Cloud Sect, Frost Sect, or Tai Ling Palace!

With his current strength, wiping out these three sects won’t be a difficult task.

Supporting war with war, plundering the assets of other sects, allowing the Phoenix Sect to grow stronger step by step...

This is the best way to enhance the strength of the Phoenix Sect in Su Han’s mind!

There’s always some who don’t know their own limits, who look down on others with disdain.

The Frost Sect among these three sects is one such example!
