Chapter 3371 — The Yu Family's Invitation

Wei Zhao's real purpose in doing this was to prevent the energy stones from being extracted and put to other uses—cultivation, for instance. This way, the moment an energy stone was forcibly removed, the cauldron's warranty and maintenance would be void; and it could only be done once. Recharging the cauldron would no longer be possible.
If one wanted more energy stones, the only path was to pay a high price for a brand-new cauldron. Otherwise, using a depleted energy stone for maintenance would be out of the question.
Naturally, the official price for replacing an energy stone would not be cheap either. Though Wei Zhao's jade pendant space could recharge them, Wei Zhao was no philanthropist; being able to make money this way was, in its own right, a development of the jade pendant space's functions.
"I understand what Brother Wei Zhao means. The energy stones may only serve to power the medicinal cauldrons, not to be used by cultivators for training. If that is discovered, the offender's subsequent warranty and maintenance rights are revoked." Han Jingyi nodded. "Actually, this is quite easy to implement. When the first- and second-grade automatic medicinal cauldrons refine pills, we can use server verification: each time, record the remaining energy of the energy stone on the server. If the energy stone's energy does not match the last recorded value, we shut down the cauldron's functions and revoke its maintenance rights."
"Mm, just see to it as you think best." Wei Zhao nodded. Then, in front of Shen Yushu, he suddenly drew forth a great quantity of energy stones from the jade pendant space. Yu Dake and Yu Xiaoke had already seen his ability, but Shen Yushu and Han Jingyi did not know of it, and Wei Zhao no longer wished to keep it from them.
Seeing so many energy stones appear out of thin air on the courtyard ground, Han Jingyi and Shen Yushu were startled.
"Chewing Gum Bro, where did these energy stones come from? Holy crap, did you conjure them up?" Shen Yushu stared wide-eyed at the energy stones on the ground.
Han Jingyi was equally astonished, gazing at Wei Zhao in bewilderment.
"I have a way of storing things. It is nothing much," Wei Zhao said. "Jingjing, these energy stones are all fully charged; the ones in my car are not. You can take these charged ones to study first, and put them on the market if you like. I have other matters to attend to and must go out; it may be several days before I can return."
Wei Zhao felt somewhat apologetic—after all, Han Jingyi had waited several days for him, and he was leaving the moment he arrived. But where Yu Ning and Shen Yushu were concerned, Wei Zhao dared not be negligent.
"Chewing Gum Bro, where are you going now?" Shen Yushu asked. "You still have not told little Shu what is so fun about that Hakunamata Desert!"
"When I return..." Wei Zhao sighed. RS
