Chapter 274 Preferential Treatment
Ji An knew what the Earth Dragon Beast was talking about. Just now, the strange object hanging around his neck emitted a spiritual power and was absorbed by the stone turtle.

"Do you want to show this big monster the thing?"

He hesitated for a moment, but then dismissed the idea.

This miraculous object can produce Kunling for more than a hundred years every year, which is a huge harvest over time.

"I am just a foundation-building cultivator. How could I possibly possess a treasure that Yan Zu would value?"

"That's true, maybe I'm mistaken."

Earthdramon shook his head and walked back to where he had been, lying down again and pretending to sleep. "Keep your voices down!"

The breath just now was fleeting, and it was not very sure. This situation had occurred before.

Jia Yu suppressed his laughter and said softly:
"What are you doing here today? Are you going to exchange for another spiritual item?"

"Yes, I want to exchange for some water-based spiritual items. Do you have a lot in stock?"

Ji An replied that there was a Canglong tree in the Red Flame Peak, and the Xuanhuang soil accumulated in his hands was enough, the only thing missing was a water-based spiritual object.

"There's enough inventory," Jia Yu said with a hint of melancholy in his tone.

This was the negative impact brought about by the Canglan Secret Realm. Suddenly, there were nearly a hundred fewer monks who needed to exchange spiritual objects, and the inventory became abundant.

If possible, the sect would rather not have such abundance.

"Can I exchange more?"

"can."

"Then exchange it for three times the amount from last time," Ji An handed over his identity jade token.

Jia Yu entered the secret vault to retrieve the spiritual object and deducted a small amount of merit from the spiritual disk:

"There are 24916 points of merit left."

Ji An checked the weight of the spiritual object and said:

"Uncle Master, are there any discounts for A-level disciples when exchanging for Peiyuan Pills?"

The sect will always give preferential treatment to outstanding disciples. Even if there is no preferential treatment, you should find a way to get it.

The rules are dead, but the monks who make the rules are alive.

“No,” Jia Yu shook his head, “The pills for breaking through to a higher realm involve too many things, even for a top-tier disciple there won’t be any discounts.

Fifty thousand small merits, not a single bit less.

Unless you are of heavenly caliber, you must diligently and fully pay your small merits to be eligible for redemption."

"I heard that handing in the main medicine can reduce the minor merits."

"Yes, what kind of main medicine do you have?"

Jia Yu's eyes showed suspicion. This disciple had not entered the Canglan Secret Realm, so how could he get the elixir?

Could it be the output of Ge Ying’s private medicine garden?

“Both. I planted some in the medicine group on Scarlet Flame Peak. They are now a hundred years old.

Uncle, think about it, I have only been growing these spiritual herbs for thirty years, and they are already a hundred years old."

"So, you want to use something from a hundred years from now to pay off this year's debt? No way!

Boy, don’t think you can talk nonsense just because we are familiar with each other. I’m not senile yet.

Besides, it's still a long time before you can use the Pei Yuan Dan, so you have plenty of time to accumulate some minor merits."

"There's not enough time, Uncle Master. I'm already at the eighth level of foundation building. At this rate..."

Jia Yu released his spiritual sense and swept it over Ji An, immediately understanding the other party's current realm.

"How come it's so fast? Your current improvement speed is not much slower than that of a top-grade talent!"

He was very surprised. This was totally abnormal.

It is a great fortune for the sect to have a Li Haoran, so is it possible that another similar character will appear?

“I just practiced normally, and the breakthrough happened naturally.

Well, when I was at Mingfeng Mountain, I realized the second level of Dharma Incarnation, and my understanding of the technique seemed to have improved as well."

Ji An recounted what happened in Lin Qiubai's cave.

Jia Yu pressed for details of what happened, and finally looked at him like a monster:
"You are able to manifest the divine will of the technique. Your understanding of Qingmu Changchun Gong has surpassed the level expected of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator."

He frowned and thought for a moment, then said:
"The Peiyuan Pill involves breaking through the Chaoyuan Stage, and I don't have the power to change the rules.

I will inform the ancestor of your situation, and he will decide whether to grant you additional preferential treatment."

"Thank you, uncle master," Ji An bowed. Everything depends on human effort, as for whether it can be accomplished, it all depends on God's will.

By saying a few more words, I really gained the opportunity.

Jia Yu nodded and offered some advice:

"I see that your jade token has 100 major merits, which translates to 35,000 minor merits, so the difference is only over 10,000 points.

There are so many second-level spiritual plants in Scarlet Flame Peak that the speed of accumulating small merits is not slow. You can also borrow some spiritual objects from everywhere to exchange for small merits and pay them back slowly in the future."

"Uncle Master, can you tell me how many furnaces of Peiyuan Pills can be refined with the spiritual herbs that the sect disciples brought back from the secret realm this time?"

"If I can refine three furnaces, based on previous experience, I have a 60% success rate, which means I can make four to six pills."

Ji An thought for a moment and asked:

"If I now have enough small merit to exchange for Peiyuan Pills, can I get the pills when I open the furnace this time?"

"Let me check the sect's records," Jia Yu took out his jade token, placed it on the spirit disk, and read the exchange information he had handled. After a moment, he said:
"There are already five people ahead of you. If it weren't for the accident in Canglan Secret Realm, this number would have doubled."

"The sect can't rely entirely on the harvest from the secret realm to refine Peiyuan Pills, right?" "Of course not. The sect's medicine garden also grows herbs for Peiyuan Pills, but the spiritual herbs in the medicine garden are mature, and it will take about thirty years before we can refine two more furnaces.

The spiritual fields at high-level spiritual vein nodes are extremely valuable, and those medicinal gardens also need to grow spiritual herbs used by Chaoyuan-stage cultivators."

Ji An scratched his head, feeling worried.

He couldn't wait until the next time the furnace was opened, but there was no guarantee that he could exchange it for Peiyuan Dan this time.

I can only pray that the alchemist performs exceptionally well and accumulate enough small merits as quickly as possible.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the irritation rising in his heart:

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle Master. I will go back and think of a way to quickly gather enough small merits.

Oh, by the way, could you please give me a list of spiritual objects that can be exchanged for small merits?"

Completing certain tasks can accumulate small merits, but it is not suitable for him because there is a demon king watching outside the sect.

Jia Yu took out a jade slip and handed it over. He opened his mouth to say something comforting, but in the end, nothing came out.

Ji An took the jade slip and they both went outside the hall.

"Uncle Master, why is Yanzu here?"

He really couldn't understand why the sect's guardian beast was sleeping in the treasure pavilion.

Jia Yu explained:
“Yan Zu used to guard the secret vault, and I was just a decoration outside.

The demonic plague is severe now, and Yan Zu often patrols the area surrounding the sect to deter the demonic beasts."

Ji An suddenly realized that he had once sensed a strange aura in the secret vault and thought it was the change in the energy when the magic circle was running. Now it seemed that it might be the aura that Yanzu had accidentally emitted.

He took out the shuttle and said, "
"Uncle Master, I'm leaving now."

After he left, Jia Yu took out a golden sword for communication and activated it, and golden light flew towards Yingyue Peak.

He wanted to ask Senior Brother Lin to verify the situation at that time. Although he didn't think that his disciple would lie, it was a matter of reporting to the ancestor after all, so it was better to be cautious.

Half an hour later, a golden sword carrying a message flew back to the treasure house.

Jia Yu read Lin Qiubai's reply in detail, sorted out the information, and sent a golden sword message to the ancestor.

He soon received instructions from the ancestor:
'Disciples are allowed to exchange small amounts of merit for Peiyuan Dan on credit, but they must repay the debt within five years.

In addition, if the merchant flying boat from Zhongzhou arrives, you can use the spiritual objects to purchase a few Peiyuan Pills for backup.

The ancestor is very wise. It seems that he wants to use the accumulation of the sect to cultivate a few more Chaoyuan-stage monks.

Ji An drove the shuttle back to Chiyan Peak. He held the seed-shaped strange object in his hand, wondering what kind of treasure it was that could attract the attention of Yanzu.

After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out.

He hung the rare object around his neck again, and warned himself to put the pendant away when he went to the treasure house again.

Taking out the jade slip and placing it on his forehead, Ji An began to calculate how many small merits he could exchange for his belongings.

There are still quite a few gold and fire spiritual objects obtained from the Red Flame Peak, which can be exchanged for about 3,000 small merits, but the gap is still large. It seems that I need to borrow some spiritual objects.

During dinner, two golden swords of communication arrived at the dining table one after another.

Ji An was slightly surprised and caught the golden sword. From the magic mark on it, he could see that one came from his master and the other came from his uncle Jia Yu.

He first checked his master's golden sword, "I still have some resources that can be exchanged for small merits. You can come and get them when you need them. It can be exchanged for about 5,000 small merits."

But this is the last legacy I leave for Luo Ying, and you must repay her in the future.'

Ji An thought to himself:

"Master's last sliver of cash, probably because he's worried that the Pei Yuan Dan incident will affect my breakthrough to the Chao Yuan stage."

He picked up Jia Yu's golden sword for communication, and his eyes flashed with golden light.

"Thank you, ancestor!"

He was actually allowed to buy on credit. He immediately replied to the Master:
"Thanks to the ancestor's kindness, I can exchange it for Peiyuan Dan in other ways. Master, don't worry."

The golden sword of communication flew away from the Red Flame Peak with flashing light, like a happy golden carp swimming in the lake.

The next day, Mao Shi.

The biological clock he had developed over the years made Ji An wake up on time. He came to the cold pond, quickly ate breakfast, and drove away in the shuttle.

At the end of the hour of Mao, Ji An landed on the hillside of Chaoyang Peak.

He looked at the closed treasure house and said with a silly smile:

"You're early!"

He sat cross-legged at the entrance of the hall and began to practice Qingmu Changchun Gong. Precious time could not be wasted.

As the technique was practiced, the earth-element spiritual energy in the earth and the wood-element spiritual energy in the nearby spiritual trees were absorbed and entered his mouth and nose.

With him as the center, strange phenomena such as grass sprouting, growing, and withering appeared on the ground.

Time passes and life flourishes and withers.

Jia Yu came to the sky above the treasure pavilion with a dazed look on his face.

There is a difference between manifesting pneumatic phenomena when under oppression and manifesting pneumatic phenomena naturally during cultivation.

It is obvious that this disciple has made further progress in his understanding of the exercises.

"Once he breaks through the Chaoyuan stage, he should be able to open up the Mufu soon! This is too hurtful!"

At this moment, Ji An was in a trance, and he felt like he had turned into a grassland.

The spring thunder sprouts with the falling rain, the summer heat brings lush growth, the autumn wind is bleak and the trees gradually turn yellow, and the winter snow falls and the vitality is buried deep in the earth.
