Chapter 161 Contribution Point Exchange

East China Sea temporary headquarters, Volcanic Islands.

The large transport flying boat slowly docked in the square. An escalator was pulled down from the right side of the ship. The monks who had returned from the front lines came out one by one. Lin Shan flew directly back to the Black Lotus Sect's mountain gate on his sword.

The first stop was the sect contribution exchange hall. I had 18200 contribution points in my hand, which could be exchanged for some useful resources. Now that more than half a year has passed, I thought that resources from the distant Lu State were being shipped in continuously, and there should be more things that could be exchanged.

There were not many people in the sect's exchange hall at this time, as most of the demonic monks had gone to the front lines to fight. Most of the people here were the wounded soldiers who had been sent back from the previous batches. They all looked at the exchange light curtain in the center of the hall with frowns on their faces.

Sect's magical power: Rakshasa Void Magic, 1000000 points

Minor magical spell: Seven Evil Soul Locking Technique, 300000 points

Minor magical power: Soul-leaving and Forgetting Seal, 200000 points

……

Magical weapon: Glazed Glittering Armor, 200000 points

Magical weapon: Su Nu Bell, 150000 points

Magic weapon: Demon-killing dice, 100000 points

Magic weapon: Red silver needle, 100000 points

……

Lin Shan looked at the high-level magical treasures above and felt a slight toothache.

This is tens of millions at any time, are you sure you are serious? Can these losers in the Black Lotus Sect afford it in their lifetime?

He originally thought that he was already rich with more than 10,000 contribution points, but he didn't expect that he was still poor. He couldn't even afford the cheapest magic weapon, let alone minor magical powers!

In fact, the Black Lotus Sect's contribution point exchange system is 1:1 with the spiritual stone currency in the cultivation world, and all kinds of treasures are also fairly priced at the market price.

However, high-end items like magical powers and magic weapons are basically in short supply. No matter how many spirit stones you offer outside, you cannot buy them. They are circulated among high-level cultivators through barter.

However, sect contribution points cannot be exchanged for spirit stones and can only be obtained by completing tasks for the sect. This also causes the monks in the sect to have closer and closer ties with the sect in order to gain a way to move up.

As for the high-level treasures worth tens of millions of contribution points, they were originally prepared for the Jindan stage guardians in the sect. What kind of magic treasures do foundation-building cultivators need? Can you use them even if they are given to you?
Not to mention low-level cultivators, even Jindan-stage cultivators don’t know many minor magical powers and spells. Of course, rare things are valuable. It is difficult to accumulate enough contribution points in peacetime. After all, how many contribution points are given for completing tasks?

Fortunately, now that good and evil are in great battle, a large number of contribution points can be obtained through military exploits, and corresponding military exploits can be obtained by killing cultivators from the righteous camp.

So war is a godsend.

For example, the true disciple of the Qianyun Pavilion in the Foundation Establishment Stage who was killed by Lin Shan, according to a comprehensive assessment of his strength and status, 8,000 contribution points is already a lot. If it was replaced by killing an ordinary cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he could get 2,000 to 3,000 contribution points.

Only by killing a Jindan-stage cultivator can one obtain more than 50,000 contribution points. The matching of strength, status and wealth is the evaluation standard of the sect's contribution point system.

"That is, you need to kill two Jindan-stage cultivators to exchange for a magic weapon, and four Jindan-stage cultivators to exchange for a small magical power spell."

Lin Shan looked at the exchange light screen in the center of the hall in silence. This kind of mission was so difficult that it was a life-threatening task for the Jindan-stage guardians in the sect. How could it be so easy to kill a Jindan-stage cultivator of the same level?

However, if we use the method of accumulating small amounts into large ones, one magic weapon is equivalent to forty or fifty Foundation Establishment cultivators, and a minor magical power is almost equivalent to hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The difficulty of this for the Foundation Establishment Stage is no less than a fight among the Jindan Stage cultivators.

After all, the righteous sects are different from the laissez-faire style of the evil sects. They all follow the system of master-disciple inheritance or bloodline cultivation. An ordinary righteous sect or cultivation family probably has only a few dozen cultivators in the foundation-building stage. In other words, they have to massacre the entire sect to accumulate enough contribution points.

How could the Jindan-stage ancestor of another sect watch you slaughter his own people?

Lin Shan couldn't help but grit his teeth. It seemed that it would be a long time before he could exchange these treasures during the Foundation Establishment Period.

"Magic weapons are not cabbages. Do you think you can buy them just because you want to?" The Black Skull Demon Lord couldn't help but speak at this time. He really couldn't stand Lin Shan's distorted values ​​and felt that he needed to educate him about the real situation in the world of cultivation.

"In order to break through the Jindan stage, ordinary cultivators have to use up all their savings in the first half of their lives before they can cross the line. After reaching the Jindan stage, they have to start all over again and accumulate for a long time before they can hope to create or exchange a magic weapon of their own."

"You are just lucky. You picked up Master Gui's relics when you were still in the foundation-building stage. Now that you have two magic weapons, you think that magic weapons are worthless. You are simply a survivor with a blind spot."

"Master Gui is a master who is one step away from the Nascent Soul stage. His worth is several times that of a Golden Core of the same level. Don't aim too high!"

……

After listening to this, Lin Shan felt that there was some truth in it and couldn't help but nodded.

But then I thought, I am not an ordinary person, why should I look at the world with the eyes of an ordinary person? How could the Black Skull Demon Lord know that I am extraordinary?
It’s just a pity that he can’t exchange spirit stones for contribution points at a 1:1 ratio. Otherwise, with the hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in his hand, he might be able to exchange them for a small magical power or spell.

Then he moved his eyes downwards and looked at the other exchange items.

Magical weapon: Red Mandarin Duck Silk, 8000 points

Magical weapon: Aikun Ball, 5000 points

Weapon: Dark Bamboo Dart, 2000 points

……

Pill: Hunyuan Golden Pill, 50000 points

Pill: Soul-Enriching Pill, 10000 points

Pill: Purple Heart Pill, 5000 points

Pill: Biluo Pill (one bottle), 1000 points

……

Lin Shan looked through them all, and then decided to exchange for the Bi Luo Dan and Zi Xin Dan. The former was used to improve his cultivation on a daily basis, and the latter was used to assist in breaking through the bottleneck of the foundation-building period.

The Purple Heart Pill has a good auxiliary breakthrough effect for bottlenecks in both the early and middle stages of the foundation-building period. It is recognized in the cultivation world as one of the most stable pills, and can increase the chance of breakthrough by 20%.

Don't underestimate 20%, this is already the best pill compared to the same period. There is no pill in the world that can 100% assist in breakthrough, we can only say how much it can assist in breakthrough.

Of course, in Lin Shan's eyes, 20% is far from enough. But he can use the strengthening panel to strengthen it. Good steel must be used on the blade, and the breakthrough of cultivation cannot be sloppy.

Although other elixirs also have the effect of increasing the chance of breakthrough, if several elixirs are taken together, the cumulative effect will be greatly reduced because they are not linearly superimposed.

Most of Lin Shan’s contribution points have to be used to exchange for Biluo Dan to improve his cultivation, so it is safest to strengthen it with ancient rhyme.

……

After spending all the more than 10,000 contribution points he had in hand and exchanging them for a Purple Heart Pill and a dozen bottles of Blue Sky Pills, Lin Shan returned to his cave halfway up the mountain and began to practice in seclusion.

As for the disturbances in the outside world and the fierce battle between good and evil in the Song Dynasty, he temporarily put them out of his mind. Time passed quickly as he forgot about everything.

This retreat was the longest ever, and I stayed at home for ten whole years.

In ten years, the ground outside the cave was covered with dust, and autumn leaves turned red, yellow, yellow, and green, forming a thick layer. During this period, monks from the sect sent annual offerings to the cave, including elixirs and spiritual stones.

Lin Shan relied on the dozen bottles of "Izumo Pills" that could improve his cultivation that he obtained from the storage bag of Qi Zhong, the true disciple of Qianyun Pavilion, as well as the dozen bottles of Biluo Pills from the sect's exchange hall, plus the pills offered in the past ten years, which was equivalent to the pill quota of other people in the sect for forty years.

Finally, he cultivated to the peak of the initial stage of foundation building.
