“The fundamental purpose of Amethyst is to convert it into personal strength! With so much Amethyst, shouldn’t we quickly distribute it to the experts in the family to absorb? Are we just keeping it to look at the numbers? Isn’t that a bit strange?”
Li Chunbo looked ashamed and speechless.
He completely agreed with Mo Tianji's words; however, this was exactly what the Li family had been doing before! They harvested Amethyst every day, collected it constantly, but only a minuscule portion was given to the family’s experts.
The vast majority was hoarded… but what is the point of hoarding?
As Mo Tianji stated: if you leave it here, it becomes a pile of dead objects! If it were given to the experts of the family and supplied for their cultivation… if these Amethyst were truly transformed into the strength of experts, how much pressure could be reduced today?
Thirty billion five hundred sixty-seven million pieces of Amethyst, such a massive number, would be more than enough even to pile it among a thousand ninth rank supreme experts; if the Li family truly had a thousand ninth rank supremes… wouldn’t they have already swept their own family away in the last three days?!
“Ah, Chun… such a foolish strategy…” Mo Tianji sighed heavily: “Now that the Li family is on the verge of destruction, this vast wealth is about to fall into the pockets of others…” Has the Li family’s accumulation over millennia been for the sake of aiding the enemy today?!
“It’s simply absurd, absurd to the utmost!”
Mo Tianji said fiercely, with an edge of gritted teeth.
Li Chunbo had no words to respond. Every word spoken by Mo Tianji was harsh, yet they were all the truth! Thinking of the current predicament of the Li family, and then looking at the astronomical amount of stored Amethyst, it could all be transformed into the family’s own strength…
Not to mention Mo Tianji’s frustration; Li Chunbo felt like smashing his head against a wall!
In fact, all the major families were doing the same; Amethyst is a scarce resource kept for future use. It was only provided to the experts, but no family had ever fully utilized all of this Amethyst.
Because one always needs to keep some contingency, this is indisputable.
But the sheer accumulation of tens of billions, surely the Li family is one of a kind on the entire continent?
“Senior Li…” Mo Tianji asked, “Have you ever been to the Amethyst vault?” He teased: “Those Amethysts piled underneath… perhaps they’ve already gone moldy?”
Li Chunbo’s face turned purple, gasping for breath.
After a long time, Li Chunbo desperately said, “Is it really impossible to give it a try? Is there no room for a forced attempt?”
When he said this, it was partly due to the disappointment in his heart and partly due to the incompetence of the family’s descendants, lacking any sense of the bigger picture.
How could such shortsightedness lead to such absurdly foolish decisions? This was truly a unique comedic disaster for one of the nine great clans!
His self-established family, his own bloodline, was about to be completely annihilated in the world.
Moreover, clearly having the opportunity to save the descendants, yet finding hope only to have it shattered in an instant, the intense blow from hope to despair made this elder seem to age hundreds of years in an instant. At this moment, Li Chunbo no longer had the demeanor of an unrivaled expert; he was just a desolate old man who had lost all fighting spirit.
There was even a sense of “what joy is there in life?” and utter boredom.
Mo Tianji sighed internally, turning his head and saying, “Old Li, after so many years of life, even if you don’t know much about formations, you should understand the saying ‘a slight difference can lead to great errors.’ This is especially true for formations. If I were to force a situation according to your words, the formation would surely not be perfect; let alone seven thousand people, even seven would lead to disaster because of ‘forcing an attempt.’”
