Chapter 1157 Spirit Coins

In a secret subterranean city that seemed like a ghost city with its gloomy and dim environment and dark infrastructure, a black-cloaked figure was sitting cross-legged, surrounded by crimson mist.

At this moment, a pair of glowing crimson eyes filled with eerie sharpness opened, and a husky muttering rang, "My Blood Puppets died right after completing the mission? Even the Killing Fiend Curse was neutralized? What is going on?"

The black-cloaked figure suddenly took a formation plate and activated it. The more the formation plate shimmered, the brighter the sharp glow in his eyes became.

"Spirit Inferno Domain of Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect, and the target was John Weston, the Second Brother of the current outer branch's head of the Weston Family. The commission came from the Steward of the outer branch of the Sutton Family..." He muttered before a sharp glint flashed past his eyes.

"Could it be that the Sutton Family killed them to keep this from getting out? No, they should know better if they were able to approach us. Whoever did it must be at least an Ascension Guardian or the Killing Fiend Curse won't be neutralized. "Nonetheless, whoever it was, they killed my Ascension Solider grade Blood Puppets and went against the integrity of our cult. They must die and become part of my collection!"

His killing intent made the crimson churn violently before he suddenly stood up. Suddenly, from the crimson mist, numerous silhouettes appeared behind him.

"It's been a while since I was personally out in the field..." His husky voice was filled with murderous intent and a hint of cruel ecstasy!

The Western Guardian City has towering dark red walls and two city gates that are always bustling with crowds as they enter and exit, just like the other three-sect cities.

These cities were the biggest economic hubs of the Spirit Inferno Domain, and many people of the domain came here to do business. Even the first-grade sects of the domain had their own personal properties and had opened shops in these cities.

Only the powerful and wealthy could enter and live in these cities, and there were no mortals present; everyone was a cultivator.

"You and your beast... friends are registered. That would be 10 Tier-3 Spirit Coins." The guard asked for the entrance fee for all three of them.

Spirit Coins were actually the common currency of Mortal Ascension Heaven since whether they were Qi stones/Soul Crystals or Spirit Stones/Spirit Crystals, they had different grades and Qi density values. Higher-grade Qi/Spirit stones and crystals became increasingly important as the cultivators increased their cultivation.

This was especially true for the Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals, which could only be used by Law State cultivators and were poisonous for elemental state cultivators. The elemental grade treasures were completely useless for Law State cultivators.

That's why the Spirit Coins were introduced by a very powerful existence known throughout the Mortal Ascension Heaven, with an unfathomable background: the Prime Heavenly Bank, the most secured and wealthiest power known in existence.

Their branches were spread in every territory known to men, and their currency was acknowledged by everyone, not to mention their integrity and protection were top-notch, and many high-level existences used their services. They had also earned the reputation as the safest place in the entire Mortal Ascension Heaven, and no one knows just how old their linage actually was, the Prime Heavenly Bank was a true Ancient existence which no one wanted to offend! The Spirit Coins were divided into Tier-0 to Tier-9. One Tier-0 Spirit Coin was equal to One peak grade-9 spirit stone or soul crystal, and anyone could exchange them for each other anytime from any power or directly from the Prime Heavenly Bank branch.

The Tier-1 to Tier-9 Spirit Stones can be exchanged for Upper Ascension Grade-1 to Upper Ascension Grade-9 Spirit Stones or Spirit Crystals at an equal 1/1 exchange rate.

However, if the Spirit Stones or Spirit Crystals were 'raw' instead of 'refined,' the exchange rate would be 10 raw spirit stones or spirit crystals of upper ascension grade for 1 Spirit Coin all the way from Tier-1 to Tier-9.

Furthermore, Spirit Coins can't be exchanged with 'Lower Grade' spirit stones or spirit crystals, which increases their value and gives them the same credibility as the latter —even slightly more!

George wasn't surprised when he heard the guard demanded 'Spirit Coins.' He placed ten upper grade-3 refined spirit stones, which seemed to be like emerald pearls with three visible white rings around the peals.

"I don't have Spirit Coins, but these would be sufficient, right?" George asked politely.

The guard checked the quality of the spirit stones and nodded before putting them away. He suddenly flashed a smile and said, "You may enter. Welcome to the Western Guardian Sect City. I hope you achieve what you've come here to accomplish, young man, and remember, don't cause trouble!"

"Oh, I will!" George ambiguously chucked as he moved towards the entrance, his eyes shimmering with anticipation, 'Prime Heavenly Bank, how fascinating. Although they are extremely powerful, they also literally hold the title of the wealthiest target of them all!'
