Chapter 144: Big Client

Tai Ming Mountain Reservoir.
Plop!
As the water splashed, Su Jingxing released his true energy and enveloped his entire body. He then dived into the underground cave.
Familiar with the route, he soon arrived at the underground cave.
Standing in front of the Concentration Fruit Tree, Su Jingxing took out the Simple Explanations of Array Formations and the Energy Gathering Stones from his palm space.
Flipping through the pages of the book, he found a basic array formation. He buried the Energy Gathering Stones in the ground according to the nodes of the array formation.
This basic array formation could be stacked, as long as there were sufficient Energy Gathering Stones, it could be expanded outwards continuously and the array formations would increase.
With every stack, the effect would be doubled.
For this reason, Su Jingxing took out all the Energy Gathering Stones and formed three circles around the Concentration Fruit Tree following the lines of basic array formations to triple the effects.
Tripled effect, the acceleration of maturation would be three times faster.
It was not enough!
In order to have the Concentration Fruit Tree to move through 90 years time within a few months, it had to be at least ten times faster.
If the acceleration of maturation could be sped up by 20 or 30 times, it would take even less time.
The problem was, where could he get more Energy Gathering Stones?
This thing could not be found on the market. Even in the black market, they were rare. The major factions did not even have enough for themselves.
It was the same for the martial arts families in Qinghe City like the Li, Zhou, Qi and more families.
They used Energy Gathering Stones to set up their special training rooms.
The same went for the Martial Suppression Office and the City Guard Office. They basically won’t sell Energy Gathering Stones.
Unless one used other treasures to trade with them!
Did Su Jingxing have any extra and useless treasures?
Nope.
The spirit weapon, Thunderbolt, the newly obtained Five Elements Ring, a few secret abilities, ultimate arts like the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven were all of use to him.
The Blood Drop Heretic Art was a possible option.
Su Jingxing just had to memorize the martial arts theories inside.
As for the function cards, he would never let anyone else know about them.
In any case, Su Jingxing had no use for the Blood Drop Heretic Art, nor would he ever choose to use it.
Let’s leave it to the Martial Suppression Office to safeguard. It will save me worries and effort.
The only thing to worry about was whether Li Linzhou would be tempted by the Blood Drop Heretic Art and cultivate it in private.
Although the Blood Drop Heretic Art was incomplete, if one cultivated it, they could advance to the third-grade!
Even though there was only a single grade difference between the fourth and third grades, they were poles apart.
Ignoring true essence, just Martial Art True Intent alone could make most martial artists go crazy for it.
Take for example Shi Zhinie. Such an ambitious and ruthless character would kill countless people and stop at nothing in order to advance to the third-grade.
Li Linzhou had been stuck at the fourth-grade for more than ten years now.
Su Jingxing could not guarantee that he could resist the temptation of advancing to the third-grade and reject the Blood Drop Heretic Arts.
If Li Linzhou were to fall into the same trap and get addicted to the Blood Drop Heretic Art, starting a killing spree to advance to the third-grade,
Su Jingxing would be an accomplice. The consequences were too severe.
At this thought, Su Jingxing gave up on the idea of exchanging the Blood Drop Heretic Art for Energy Gathering Stones.
Instead of creating future trouble with endless casualties, he might as well try to buy it in private.
Whether it was the information about the Energy Gathering Stones or the stones themselves, he would exchange for them using money.
As long as the price was right, Su Jingxing didn’t believe that no one would take the bait.
The 10 billion Great Yu dollars had been transferred. Su Jingxing had no use for the money. If he left them in the bank, it would be benefiting the bank.
The remaining people of the Stone Annihilation Alliance could be put to good use again. He would get Shen Qian and the others to spread the news, collect information about the Energy Gathering Stones, or purchase them.
That’s right, let’s do it this way!
He made up his mind.
Su Jingxing left the underground cave and returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
When he reached home, the sky was already bright.
He sent a text message to Shen Qian using his phone and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After washing up, he casually made some food.
Just as he sat down, a notification sounded on his phone. He clicked on it and saw that it was indeed Shen Qian’s reply.
No problem!
Seeing this, Su Jingxing made a call and explained everything in detail.
In the end, he instructed, “If there are any ready-made Energy Gathering Stones for sale, send me a message. I’ll go collect them.”
“Yes, Senior.” Shen Qian replied respectfully on the other end of the call. “I will inform you immediately if there is any news.”
“Yes, regardless of whether there are ready-made Energy Gathering Stones or just information about it, as long as you complete a transaction, you will be rewarded with one million Great Yu dollars,” Su Jingxing said.
“No need, no need.”
Hearing this, Shen Qian quickly rejected, “We are very honored to be able to work for Senior, how can we accept money? Senior, don’t worry, we…”
“Alright, that’s it.” Without waiting for Shen Qian to finish, Su Jingxing hung up the call.
He had no lack of money, so there was no need for him to owe others favors.
Although even if he did, Shen Qian and the rest would not dare to say anything.
But that was not Su Jingxing’s style of doing things. Previously, both parties had a common goal, they shared a cooperative relationship.
Now that he was contacting them when there was no longer a common goal, it was better for their relationship to be simpler.
The price Su Jingxing offered was enough remuneration.
Even including the purchase of Energy Gathering Stones and information about them, the price was quite high.
Shen Qian and the others spread the news. In less than half an hour, many people in Qinghe City knew that there was a big client who was willing to pay a lot of money for Energy Gathering Stones!
Very soon, an operation regarding the Energy Gathering Stones began to grow that morning.
Su Jingxing himself stayed at the crematorium to move corpses and extract cards.
The next morning, Gu Bo called him once he appeared at work.
“Little Su, there’s an outdoor task. Why don’t you come with me?”
“Sure.” Su Jingxing nodded.
The two of them immediately got into the corpse transportation truck. Gu Bo drove them to the southernmost waste-to-energy plant in the Western District.
The task this time was to pick up a corpse from the plant.
There were many sources of electricity in Qinghe City.
Hydropower, thermal power, wind power, geothermal power, etc.
The most important was hydropower. 60 years ago, in the upper reaches of the Sky Water River, big money was spent to build a dam and establish a large power plant.
Wind power generation was employed by building windmills on the mountains on the periphery of the Green Cloud Mountain Range.
Geothermal power generation was not large here.
In the beginning, thermal power was burning coal. Now it was basically burning garbage. There were two power plants in total.
They were located in the southernmost part of the Western District and the northernmost part of the Eastern District.
Su Jingxing and Gu Bo were heading to the power plant in the south of the Western District. It was the larger one.
The corpse transportation truck drove at full speed. When they arrived at the power plant, there were many people gathered at the entrance.
“What happened?”
Puzzled, Gu Bo pressed the horn.
“They’re here, they’re here. Everyone, move aside.” A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader stood on a high ground and shouted at the crowd, “The corpse transportation truck is here. Everyone, make way.”
“What’s there to make way for! The corpse of a dead person whose cause of death is unknown can’t be transported away!”
“Yes, hand over the murderer. Otherwise, no one can take the corpse away!”
“What are you doing? If we don’t take the corpse away, are we supposed to leave it here, let it turn into a Corpse Puppet and kill everyone?”
“F*ck off. Little Yan has only been dead for less than an hour. How can she become a Corpse Puppet so quickly?”
“Hehe, who knows if there are any Corpse-raising Insect Eggs nearby.”
“That’s right! Hurry up and transport the corpse away. You people are not afraid of death, but I haven’t lived enough!”
