The root of all struggles is interests.

The Wei family and the Zhang family have fought for decades, and neither side knows how many people died. In addition to secular money, the most important source is Star Stone.

With a light blue stone as big as a baby's fist in his hand, Jiang Chu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Master, the reserves of our Zhang family's star stones must be 8,000 yuan now, plus the 5,000 yuan seized from the Wei family, a total of 13,000 yuan."

Standing at the bottom of Jiang Chu, Zhang Heng explained cautiously, "The star power in the star stone is difficult to absorb, only those who are above the Ningxing Realm can absorb it. Moreover, generally speaking, the refining efficiency is less than 30%.

"Thirty percent?" Hearing this, Jiang Chu couldn't help but be shocked by this number. It was originally a waste to absorb 70 percent in Jiang Chu's concept.

"That's right, so the star gathering array is opened every year to maximize the use of the star power in the star stone." He nodded heavily, and Zhang Heng continued to explain, "The star gathering array is in the hands of the Star Hall and the Lord of Jingzhou. Every year, the nine counties in Jingxiang will have an opportunity to open the star gathering array. The Star Hall and the Lord of Jingzhou will draw a total of 30% of the star stones as reward. The rest of the star stones are all integrated into the star gathering array for cultivation."

"Since that's the case, why bother to fight for this opportunity?"

After taking out 30%, even if you absorb all of them, you can only absorb 70%. Although 40% more is added, you have to be controlled. It is not a very cost-effective thing to fight for this.

"Master, you don't know anything." Zhang Heng shook his head with a wry smile, pointing to the star stone and said, "The power in the star power is extremely difficult to refine. Even if you do, it will take at least three days to refine such a star stone. However, in the star gathering array, all the star power in the star stone will be released in an instant, and the star power of tens of thousands of star stones can also be completely absorbed and refined in just a few days. This is the key to everyone's struggle for this opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chu's face finally changed.

If it is just a waste, he may not care. Anyway, this star stone was not accumulated by him, so he would feel sorry for using it. However, the difference in speed is enough to make him pay great attention to it.

There is no doubt that for the Ningxing Realm, every year when the Star Gathering Array is opened, it is an opportunity to quickly improve its strength. Whoever competes for this opportunity can make its strength rise sharply in a short period of time, and then defeat the opponent and seize more resources.

For Jiang Chu, such an opportunity is urgently needed to improve his strength.

"Chu County, how many star gathering arrays will be opened?" Jiang Chu asked in a deep voice with his brow raised.

This is the key to the problem. If you can open it as long as you have a star stone, you don’t have to fight to the death.

"One!"

After a bitter smile, Zhang Heng's tone became a little solemn, "And, at least ten thousand star stones are needed. If it is not enough, it will be regarded as automatically giving up the opportunity to open the star gathering array."

Before Jiang Chu could ask questions, Zhang Heng continued to explain.

"There are at most ten people entering the star gathering array. Usually, the star stones were collected by my Zhang family and the Wei family. The number of places to enter will be allocated according to the proportion of the star stones."

"Is there a limit on the open star stone?" Jiang Chu asked again after a sudden change in his heart.

"No!" Shaking his head, Zhang Heng explained, "Theoretically, the more the better, but the star stones are limited. Now even if the Wei family is removed, there are only 13,000 star stones in total. No matter how many, it is impossible to get them."

Chu County itself does not have star veins for mining. All star stones are exchanged through various channels. Due to its limited strength, it is impossible to get more.

"In the past, it may not be possible, but this year... may not be!"

A flash of splendor flashed in his eyes, Jiang Chu held Xingshi in his hand and spoke lightly.

Luo Jianguang spread the news, and Jiang Chu naturally knew it too. Now that geniuses from all over the world are rushing towards Chu County, it is almost foreseeable that there will inevitably be countless troubles in the future! This time the opening of the Star Gathering Array will not be as simple as in previous years.

This method of praising and killing is very simple, and you can figure it out with a little brain. But, the trouble is that even if you see it clearly, you still can't change it.

Because, you can't stop people who come to challenge you, even if everyone knows clearly that someone is deliberately framed you, no one will give up this opportunity.

If you want to avoid it, the only way is to give up Chu County and turn back to the Star Hall. In the Star Hall, no matter how many people outside have any ideas, they can only provoke it, and cannot force Jiang Chu to fight.

However, after just taking control of Chu County and facing the opening of the Star Gathering Array, how could Jiang Chu escape?

Not to mention anything else, once you return to the Star Hall, who will provide the Star Stone? Can you still ask for it from the Star Hall?

Zhang Heng may not quite understand why Jiang Chu made such a judgment, but he could clearly see the ** and confidence in Jiang Chu's eyes.

Going down the river, Picaliang swayed around the swaying boat, looking harmless, hiding in the noisy ship, and no abnormality could be seen.

However, if someone who knows Picaliang is here, he will hold his wallet tightly at the first time and the farther away from him, the better.

In terms of strength, perhaps he is not very strong himself, and he is not a top figure among the nine counties of Jingxiang. However, when it comes to reputation, Picaliang is definitely not inferior to top-notch people like Lianhuazi and Xiao Luofei.

He comes from a thief and calls himself a thief. He rarely doesn't steal anything he likes. Even if Xiao Luofei is very troubled by it, he will have a headache.

However, no one expected that now, Picaliang would actually rush to Chu County first.

Following the crowd, he got off the boat and got on a carriage. Picasso took out more than 20 purses from his body like magic, lazily counting today's harvest, and muttering to himself.

"These ordinary people are indeed not very good. They only buy three star stones, and the others are all gold, silver and fine soft."

He curled his lips, took out all the things, and threw them into the space bag he carried with him. Picaliang yawned lazily, lifted the window of the carriage, and looked at the direction of Chujun from afar.

"Jiang Chu, you have attracted a lot of business to me this time! For your kind-hearted face, Master Bi, I will leave you 30% of the star stones."

Speaking of this, Picaliang seemed to remember something again, shook his head and said to himself.

"Isn't it right? I heard that this guy controlled the Zhang family. Now the star stones on his hand are probably worth tens of thousands. It's a loss to leave 30% of them. It's a waste of force... I'll leave him 10%!"

"...This is the best preferential treatment! But Mr. Bi never made any mistakes in stealing cleanly for others."

"Speaking of this... I don't know if I can get enough 30,000 star stones this time! Last time the star gathering array was activated, Master Bi got a full 21,000 yuan before he could barely condense the fifth star. This time he had to get enough 30,000 yuan."
