Although spirit beasts did not use spirit stones, they knew that they were valuable items, so collecting them was natural if they found them.
It is said that spirit beasts in the upper realms can transform into humans. They are called demons, and demons use spirit stones in a manner similar to how humans do. It was just totally useless for them right now, but in the future, they might reach that level, so collecting them was natural.
The amount of spirit stones this beast had was only possible if it had found a spirit mine, and it should be near its territory. This was big news for them. If they could gain access to this mine, would they even need to sell pills to acquire spirit stones?
Well, technically, they would still auction them, as there would never be enough spirit stones with Jiang Hao and Ming Yue here, but that would happen in future.
And right now it would really be an unimaginable help for them if they could gain access to this spirit mine.
