My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 156: I want Li Wei to become the benchmark!

After leaving Li Wei's office, Mi Hongzhi immediately used her family's connections to find several middlemen who bought spirit stones. The middlemen were immediately excited when they heard that the spirit stones were of medium grade.

"I'll take as many mid-grade spirit stones as you can get, and the price will absolutely exceed your expectations!"

After some haggling,
The spirit stones, originally worth around 800 million, were sold for over 900 million, an increase of more than 10%, which even surprised Mi Hongzhi.

"Are spirit stones really that valuable lately?"

"It's not that spirit stones are valuable, it's that money is worthless. Ever since the dark web created the cultivation transfer payment system, the stock market, bonds, and currency have all plummeted in the past two days, and the entire cultivation market is in chaos. Only spirit stones are relatively stable, so everyone definitely wants to collect more spirit stones."

The middleman sighed, "Those of us who trade spirit stones are actually doing alright, but those middlemen who speculate on cultivation potions are the ones who are really going broke!"

“A friend of mine stockpiled a batch of Yuanling Zhenhai Secret Medicine. It used to sell for five million a bottle, but now it’s dropped to three million and he still can’t sell it. It’s really terrible.”

"Hopefully, the Heavenly Court will quickly issue some heavenly decrees to restrict the trading of cultivation points! Otherwise, this market is doomed."

Upon hearing this, Mi Hongzhi decided to wait and see if the price would continue to rise. However, a cultivator from Zhongzhou City, the capital of Zhongzhou, suddenly entered the market and offered a price that Mi Hongzhi could not refuse.

"I'll pack up your spirit stones for 12 billion. I'll only give you ten minutes to think it over. If you're not going to sell, then forget it!"

hiss!
Even if the market crashes again, it's impossible for the price of spirit stones to surge by 50% in a short period of time!
"How to trade?"

"Of course, through the dark web. You can just send these spirit stones to me by express delivery."

After signing the contract remotely, Mi Hongzhi quickly transferred the spirit stones.

Zhongzhou!

Central Leizheng University.

Tian Shenguang, the director of the teaching affairs office, took out the spirit stones he had just bought and carefully examined them. After confirming that there were no problems, he injected them into Yang Lei's online teaching array matrix.

Although Yanglei does not operate a physical school, it has built a 24/7 online virtual campus system to provide online training and learning courses for Yanglei students.

Recently, because the Dark Web Great Sage is at war with the Heavenly Court, a huge vulnerability has just appeared in Yang Lei's online teaching system. Fortunately, Tian Shenguang urgently purchased a batch of spirit stones to build an array, which allowed him to complete the maintenance of the array matrix of the online teaching system.

"It's all this damn cultivation transfer payment system's fault for making such a mess of the market, forcing me to buy spirit stones online!"

Although the cultivation transfer payment system started spreading from Xinhai City, it has affected the entire market. Even the cultivators in Zhongzhou City have recently been frantically scrambling for various important strategic materials, trying every means to exchange money for other physical goods.

Therefore, in the past few days, any spirit stones that appear on the market are immediately bought up. Even Tian Shenguang, as the head of the Central Thunder Academy, cannot get any. So he has to settle for buying spirit stones in more remote market areas.

However, he needed a lot of spirit stones, and such large-scale spirit stone transactions were rare in small places. In the end, he searched around and found Mi Hongzhi, and snatched the spirit stones from her at a high price.

"Phew! Luckily, the principal approved a sufficient budget this time, otherwise..."

Ding Ding Ding!
Tian Shenguang's training panel suddenly flashed. He opened it and saw that the principal was calling him for an emergency meeting.

"It's just that I bought some spirit stones at a premium, it can't be that serious!"

After clicking the "Participate" button, Tian Shenguang's entire body immediately became blurred and faded. Then, following the law network cable built by Zhongzhou Lei Academy in the virtual network world, he entered the Central Lei Campus in the virtual reality world.

Boom! !
Countless bolts of lightning roamed the virtual world, and crimson tribulation clouds floated in the sky between the sun and the moon.

Towering and majestic teaching buildings stand above the clouds, connecting heaven and earth, overlooking the entire Central Plains like an ancient demonic mountain. This is the location of the [Central Thunder Academy - Virtual Campus]!
At this moment, countless students, their figures both real and illusory, dressed in the uniforms of various local officials, walked and moved through the campus. Upon seeing Tian Shenguang, they respectfully bowed and said, "Good morning, Dean of Students!"

"Hmm!" After the student walked quickly across the campus into the principal's conference room with a cool and aloof expression, Tian Shenguang realized that in addition to the principal, there were several teachers from the academic affairs office, the logistics manager in charge of the first-year student files, and two school board members.

Even Zhang Wuling, the top-tier divine prodigy who is now the vice president of the student council and an inspector in the Thunder Department of Zhongzhou City, has arrived.

"Now that Lao Tian is here, everyone's here. Let's all talk about what happened today."

Snapped!
Ling Yanzi, the principal of Zhongzhou Thunder Academy and a Nascent Soul expert who was only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage, slammed the newspaper in his hand onto the table.

Tian Shenguang glanced at the newspaper and realized that he had seen it before. It was a report about Li Wei cracking down on Chen Haicheng's case of trading black cultivation techniques and the iron-fisted law enforcement cracking down on the Divine Blood Clan!
"The recent corruption case in the Dragon Transformation Realm, the collapse of the Dragon Transformation Realm, the descent of the Evil God case, and now the dark web cultivation transfer payment case are all related to Li Wei. Even I've heard of them before."

"But the funny thing is! I only found out about this top student in our school from the newspaper! Do you think that's reasonable?!"

Sweat began to bead on Tian Shenguang's forehead: "Principal, I take responsibility for this!"

"Isn't this your responsibility?! I ask you, has Li Wei ever mentioned our school once in all the cases he's solved? He's been enrolled for two weeks now, has he ever attended a single class through the virtual campus system?"

"If he continues this investigation, what does his academic record have to do with our Lei Academy?!"

"Do you know how that old thief from the Plague Saint School next door has been laughing at us these past two days?!"

In her rage, Ling Yanzi's magical power coalesced into a thick black cloud of tribulation, engulfing all the light in the conference room.

After he finished cursing Tian Shenguang, he turned and stared intently at the director of the propaganda department.

"And you guys, what kind of public relations are you doing?"

"Li Wei has achieved such great success, why don't you publicize it? Why don't you add Yang Lei's name to it? I apply for so much public relations funding for you every year, are you just doing this for nothing?"

The publicity director immediately lowered his head: "Principal, I will immediately send someone to buy trending topics and prepare a complete publicity plan for Li Wei!"

"Submit it to me by this afternoon, or you're fired!"

At last,
The principal looked at Zhang Wuling, the vice president of the student council, and his expression softened considerably:
"Although our Lei Academy advocates a combination of theory and practice, and a work-study approach to spiritual education, it doesn't mean we should neglect our students! For a good student like Li Wei, you students should show more care, support, and help, and try to integrate him into our Lei Academy family as soon as possible."

Zhang Wuling nodded and said, "Principal, don't worry. It's rare for a commoner to be admitted to Lei Academy. The president has long planned to recruit him into the student council as a role model for our Lei Academy's openness and inclusiveness."

"Furthermore, to show respect for the common people, the student council president has personally gone to Shinkai to try and persuade Levi to join the student council."

Ling Yanzi's expression immediately turned somewhat strange upon hearing this.

If he remembered correctly, this generation's student council president was an absolute believer in divine blood supremacy. Would she be willing to let Li Wei become a role model?
"Ahem, Vice President Zhang, are you sure she went to persuade Li Wei?"

Zhang Wuling pulled out a memo, glanced at it, and then nodded in confirmation, saying:
"That's right!"

"The president said that she felt the student council was missing a mount, so she was going to try to tame Li Wei into the student council's mount, so as to set a benchmark and let everyone know where the future lies for ordinary students."

Ling Yanzi suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly gave Tian Shenguang a wink.

Hurry and save them!!!

Otherwise, his mother will definitely be in big trouble this time!!
