[Detected available instances, do you wish to consume one million Spirit Stones to reclaim them?]
[Detected available instances, do you wish to consume one million Spirit Stones to reclaim them?]
......
When Jiang Yuan entered, he glanced around and a whole bunch of pop-up windows indicating reclaimable instances appeared in his view.
He was instantly overjoyed, but each instance required a million Spirit Stones. Although he wasn’t short of money at the moment, it was still somewhat burdensome to pay for them all.
"Why are there so many Ghost Realms?" His voice held no fear or apprehension of the Ghost Realms, only the excitement of wanting to become a ’master’.
Sang Lishan sighed lightly, "Ever since the imbalance of heaven and earth, more and more realms in the Myriad Realms have collapsed. Many fragments float in the Void, and it’s natural for many to become polluted into Ghost Realms.
Given various reasons, as the Wilderness World declined and the barriers between worlds weakened, the attempts of Ghost Realms to invade and contaminate have become increasingly frequent."
He paused, frowning slightly, "To date, we still haven’t figured out why Ghost Realms are attracted to descend here, thus we can’t eliminate them at the root.
We lords can only work together to suppress and seal them, otherwise, once the contamination spreads, it won’t be long before the entire world falls! How many Ghost Realms can your Divine Artifact suppress? Do you need me to help with anything?"
He was a bit curious because he hadn’t seen anything resembling a ’Divine Artifact’ in the other’s hands the whole time.
But the sealed Ghost Realms did indeed vanish, so Sang Lishan pondered that perhaps Jiang Yuan didn’t want to expose the artifact, fearing others’ covetousness.
"Indeed, I need Lord Sang’s help." Jiang Yuan roughly calculated and realized that reclaiming all the Ghost Realms would require more than ten million Spirit Stones, which was beyond his means.
So he spun a lie, saying, "Driving the Divine Artifact to reclaim and suppress also requires a large amount of Spirit Stones, with one Ghost Realm requiring as much as a million Spirit Stones, and right now I don’t have enough on hand..."
Sang Lishan immediately responded, "Sir, you are relieving Sang of his worries, these Spirit Stones naturally should be provided by me. Please hold on, I’ll have someone deliver Spirit Stones right away!"
Collecting three Ghost Realms earlier already cost three million Spirit Stones, and he silently calculated that Mr. Jiang shouldn’t have to bear this expense, so he quickly sent for more money.
Is there anything more to say when faced with an enthusiastic wealthy man?
Jiang Yuan happily accepted piles of Spirit Stones, then clicked to reclaim each instance one by one.
Within just two minutes, the oldest and most troublesome sealed land was finally cleared out, and Sang Lishan’s expression visibly lightened, his brows unable to suppress a wry smile, asking somewhat sheepishly, "I wonder if sir’s Divine Artifact can still reclaim more Ghost Realms?"
The instance page had already filled up, but the system opened a second page without indicating any limit to reclaiming, so with a large sweep of his hand, he said boldly, "It should be possible to continue."
Being able to clear out a time bomb that’s been looming over him for years left Sang Lishan delighted, and he immediately moved with Jiang Yuan to explore other sealed lands.
By the afternoon of the next day, all forty-six Ghost Realms large and small under Sang Lishan’s jurisdiction within the Yunmeng Mountain area became instances waiting for exploration and purification in the system.
The most gratifying part is that the resources contaminated during exploration can be completely purified after completing the storyline tasks given by the system.
At that time, the purified instances can stably produce corresponding materials. For example, the Riverfront Village instance is still providing raw materials like oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar for the small courtyard.
"Sir, here are twenty million Spirit Stones for the subsequent suppression of Ghost Realms with the Divine Artifact. If it’s not enough, let me know anytime and I’ll send more Spirit Stones; Sang is embarrassed for his inability to purify the Ghost Realms, relying solely on you, please don’t mind."
Once back at the Lord’s Mansion, Sang Lishan didn’t have time to deal with those few intimidating Mountain Masters, directly inviting Jiang Yuan to the seat of honor.
With a sweep of his wide sleeves, even twenty piles of Spirit Stones didn’t take up much space.
Jiang Yuan was just hesitating whether to accept when the subordinates of the Lord’s Mansion brought in trays of treasured items, placing them like flowing water in front of him.
[Millennium Green: Rare material, can be used for building upgrades]
[Blood Yellow Stone Essence: Rare material, can be used for building upgrades]
......
All were system-recognized rare materials, crucial for the urgent upgrades needed in the small courtyard’s buildings!
The main task required upgrading all buildings to Level Ten, demanding a large quantity of rare materials. If he could take back this batch, it would greatly ease the burden.
"Last time, upon hearing that sir needed these flawless Void Products, I asked friends to help find some, perhaps they can be of use?" Sang Lishan smiled, inviting him to examine each one.
Originally, these fine items were prepared for trading when requesting help with Elixir crafting. Now that Jiang Yuan helped solve the most troublesome and thorny major issue, as a lord, he couldn’t be too stingy.
"Oh my, these are indeed needed!" exclaimed Jiang Yuan, his eyes lighting up, contemplating whether to not accept the Spirit Stones, and just earn from this venture, fearing he might seem too greedy.
But before he had a chance to refuse, Sang Lishan cupped his fists and said, "That’s wonderful! You solved the major crisis for Yunmeng Mountain; it’s only right to have some recompense. I wish to inform other lord friends, in case your Divine Artifact can still suppress Ghost Realms, might you..."
"Of course!"" Jiang Yuan took out the Communication Stone, leaving a contact method, "However, I might have to go on a trip to handle some matters in the coming days. If it’s urgent, do contact me soon to discuss a time; if not, it can wait until my return."
"I’ll get in touch right away, and once again thank Mr. Jiang for relieving Sang of his troubles!"
Ultimately, he successfully accepted over forty different difficulty instances; accepted the twenty million Spirit Stones as a labor fee; and also accepted numerous rare materials.
