Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques

The Manor Master spoke in a deep voice.

Lu Changsheng slightly extended his perception and immediately discerned that there was indeed a spirit stone mine beneath the mountain range.

And its quality was quite exceptional.

"Have them stop at once. Leave immediately."

Lu Changsheng spoke.

Chen An nodded and promptly transmitted a message: "Everyone in the spirit stone mine, do not take even a single spirit stone. Leave the spirit stone mine immediately..."

The voice echoed throughout the mountains.

Suddenly, countless individuals raised their heads to peer into the void.

"What's going on? Why is the Manor Master asking us to leave the spirit stone mine and not even take a single spirit stone?"

"What? The Ten Thousand Sword Manor's Sword Master Chen Peng lost to Lu Changsheng? Even Chen Peng the Sword Master is dead, and now the spirit stone mine is handed over to Lu Changsheng..."

"Impossible. How could the Sword Master lose?"

"This spirit stone mine is the lifeblood of our Ten Thousand Sword Manor. We can't just give it away like this..."

Within the spirit stone mine, many found it unbearable to accept the reality of yielding the mine.

Some even defied Chen An's order, unwilling to leave.

Others secretly tried to take some spirit stones with them.

Yet, all of this was crystal clear within Lu Changsheng's perception.

Lu Changsheng was not one to "pamper" them.

The spirit stone mine now belonged to him.

Who dared to take spirit stones from his mine?

Absolutely impossible!

"Boom!"

In an instant, the mental domain descended.

Lu Changsheng did not employ any divine skills, merely unleashing his mental domain.

Upon reaching the Divine Power Realm, one naturally wields a mental domain.

And this mental domain was immensely powerful.

Within this spirit stone mine, there were only two Divine Power Realm experts stationed.

Moreover, both of them had been privately ordered by Chen An.

Having accepted the reality, they had already left the mine.

Thus, there were currently no Divine Power Realm cultivators present to oversee the spirit stone mine.

The moment Lu Changsheng's mental domain descended, it was a cataclysmic blow to everyone in the mine!

"Ah... What is this?"

"Mental domain! I'm being suppressed by a mental domain."

"What's happening? Where are our Divine Power Realm elders?"

"No..."

Lu Changsheng's mental domain crushed one body after another.

Each was someone attempting to take spirit stones.

The remaining individuals were also suppressed by the mental domain and forcefully relocated out of the spirit stone mine.

As they left, only one message remained: "Anyone who dares to step within ten zhang of the spirit stone mine will be killed without mercy!"

Those martial artists of the Ten Thousand Sword Manor, standing beyond ten zhang from the mine, looked upon it with faces full of terror under the shadow of the mental domain.

Death.

So many had just perished.

It happened in an instant, with the mental domain grinding them into dust.

There wasn't even a chance to retaliate.

"Lu Changsheng... So it was Lu Changsheng who slew the Sword Master..."

Upon realizing it was Lu Changsheng's doing, these people, even if reluctant to part with the spirit stone mine, dared not linger any longer.

One by one, they turned and left the spirit stone mine.

Approximately half an hour later, not a single person remained near the spirit stone mine.

Only Lu Changsheng and Chen An were left in mid-air above the void.

"Respected Lu Zun, the spirit stone mine has been handed over. I bid my leave."

Chen An did not wish to linger even a second longer.

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, and with that, Chen An turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

"Spirit stone mine..."

Lu Changsheng descended directly into the spirit stone mine.

With a mere thought, his mental domain instantly gathered all the excavated spirit stones into one place.

Lu Changsheng roughly estimated.

"Eighty thousand spirit stones."

"They probably hadn't had time to transport them to the Ten Thousand Sword Manor."

A faint smile emerged on Lu Changsheng's face.

Without hesitation, he stored the eighty thousand spirit stones into his space treasure.

One drop of Heavenly Spirit Water was worth ten thousand spirit stones.

Even though Lu Changsheng had a good relationship with the Li family, they wouldn't offer it much cheaper.

For long-term collaboration, a 10% discount was reasonable.

Eighty thousand spirit stones would equate to nine drops of Heavenly Spirit Water.

Theoretically, this was sufficient to produce nine Divine Power Realm martial artists.

However, to Lu Changsheng, this amount of spirit stones was far from enough.

Lu Changsheng then retrieved the records from the spirit stone mine.

These contained many detailed accounts of the mine.

For example, how many spirit stones were produced.

The quality of the mine, and so on.

Lu Changsheng carefully reviewed the records.

He spent a full hour doing so.

Setting down the records, a strange light flickered in Lu Changsheng's eyes.

According to the Ten Thousand Sword Manor's records, this spirit stone mine was indeed of good quality.

But it was merely classified as a small-sized spirit stone mine.

"Based on the records, this spirit stone mine can produce fifty thousand spirit stones per month, which is six hundred thousand per year. Roughly every three months, they'd transport the mined spirit stones to the Ten Thousand Sword Manor. These eighty thousand spirit stones amount to less than three months' worth and simply hadn't yet been delivered."

"Annually, six hundred thousand spirit stones is significant, but it requires establishing a gathering spirit array. Using spiritual energy to nourish the mine would foster the formation of new spirit stones, allowing sustainable mining. If too many spirit stones are extracted, the mine will be exhausted quickly."

"Setting up multiple gathering spirit arrays alone would consume at least two hundred thousand spirit stones per year just for maintenance. Furthermore, Golden Core True Masters would be needed to oversee the arrays, costing no less than one hundred thousand spirit stones annually."

"Based on these calculations, this spirit stone mine yields a net gain of three hundred thousand spirit stones annually. Even then, it can only be sustained for about a thousand years. After a thousand years of mining, the spirit stone mine would undoubtedly be depleted, and a new one would need to be found."

"If mined for one thousand years, after deducting consumption and maintenance, the total profit would exceed three hundred million spirit stones..."
