I can gather experience beads

The next day.

Cao Rui arranged the affairs of the Alchemy Institute.

Then he went to the Internal Affairs Hall to find Xu Qingzhi to exchange spirit stones.

Then go to Luoyue Xiuxian Market to purchase the materials for the Yellow Dragon Pill.

Most of the spiritual medicinal materials of the sect's alchemy academy, including the spiritual medicinal materials for the Yellow Dragon Pill, are grown in the sect's spiritual medicinal garden.

The purpose of planting is to meet the needs of the sect's disciples.

Therefore, there were no extra spiritual medicine materials for Cao Rui to consume alone.

Whether in terms of concealment or minimizing the impact on the sect, purchasing the medicinal materials for the Huanglong Pill from the outside world is Cao Rui's best choice.

In the Internal Affairs Hall, since being scolded by the sect leader last time.

The current head of the Internal Affairs Hall, Xu Qingzhi, made changes.

First, there were two more deacons in the main hall, who were responsible for receiving and handling disciples who had internal affairs.

Xu Qingzhi announced that any inner sect disciple who encountered problems that they could not handle could come to the Internal Affairs Hall to inquire.

However, the Internal Affairs Hall has just been opened for this business, and it seems that not many inner disciples come here.

Cao Rui found Xu Qingzhi in the small training room behind the hall through the deacon disciples in the hall.

Cao Rui stated his purpose.

"What do you need so many spirit stones for?"

Xu Qingzhi just asked, and then shut up in time: "Haha, I am meddling in other people's business."

"Well, four thousand contribution points... do you want to exchange them for forty mid-grade spirit stones, or four thousand low-grade spirit stones?" Xu Qingzhi asked.

One medium-grade spirit stone is equal to one hundred low-grade spirit stones.

However, the effect of medium-grade spirit stones is far stronger than that of low-grade spirit stones. If they are really exchanged on the market, only one hundred and five or even one hundred and ten low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one medium-grade spirit stone.

Cao Rui thought for a moment and said, "Change it to lower-grade spirit stones."

Four thousand low-grade spirit stones are enough to purchase the materials for the Yellow Dragon Pill.

Middle-grade spirit stones are also strategic materials for the sect, and this matter does not necessarily require the use of middle-grade spirit stones. Cao Rui would not exchange for middle-grade spirit stones and take advantage of that small advantage.

It is better to save the mid-grade spirit stones for the sect’s reserves.

"it is good."

Xu Qingzhi quickly took out a storage bag and handed it to Cao Rui, and by the way transferred 4,000 contribution points from Cao Rui's account.

In this way, the contribution points that Xu Qing had accumulated during his two years as the head of the Equipment Refining Institute were almost cleared to zero.

Four thousand low-grade spirit stones are a lot for an individual.

But for the Lingshou Sect, which owns several spirit stone mines, it is not an exaggeration.

Cao Rui took the storage bag and was about to leave.

Xu Qingzhi called out Cao Rui: "Ahem, nephew Cao, Chief Cao! Can I ask you to talk to me about something?"

Cao Rui stopped and looked at Xu Qingzhi, who seemed to be hesitant to speak. He guessed that this guy wanted to ask him something, so he said, "Palace Master, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Why hesitate?"

"I remember that you were the one who helped me get into the academy six years ago. If there is anything I can do to help you, I will do it without hesitation."

Xu Qingzhi coughed dryly and said, "Junior Brother Cao is righteous! Then I will speak quickly. This is what I mean. After being taught a lesson by the Sect Master last time, I have always wanted to do something as the Palace Master."

"Well, I have an idea now. We will hold a small-scale competition every year, divided into inner and outer sects."

Cao Rui nodded and said, "This is a good idea. It can promote the disciples' enthusiasm for cultivation and hone their fighting skills. The next time we encounter demon cultivators, we can reduce casualties. The sect master should support it."

Xu Qingzhi finally revealed his true purpose at this time: "Thank you for the recognition from Chief Cao. The Sect Master is of course supportive as well. However, although this is a small competition led by the Internal Affairs Hall and there is no competition for the true inheritance, since there is a competition, there should at least be rewards, right?"

"What kind of rewards do the disciples want? They are nothing more than elixirs, magic tools, and magic skills."

"Master Cao, you are the Master of the Alchemy Institute and you control the sect's medicinal resources."

"So I would like to ask you, Master Cao, for a favor and to provide some medicinal pills as rewards."

"Master Cao, do you think this is feasible?"

Cao Rui frowned slightly when he heard this.

After thinking for a while, Cao Rui said, "Palace Master, although I control the inner treasury of the Alchemy Institute, you also know that every spiritual medicine income and expenditure of our Spirit Beast Sect Alchemy Institute must be recorded and presented to the Sect Master and the elders for review. Now the income and expenditure of spiritual medicine in our Spirit Beast Sect are just balanced."

Cao Rui spoke without blushing or beating his heart.

Seeing Xu Qingzhi's awkward expression, Cao Rui changed the subject: "However, since this is an event for you, Palace Master, that will benefit the sect's disciples, the Alchemy Institute must squeeze out some spiritual pill resources to support it anyway."

"Well, I will give out 100 bottles of Qingshuang Pills to support the outer disciples, and 50 bottles of Huanglong Pills for the inner disciples!"

One hundred bottles of Qingshuang Pills would cost at least four hundred spirit stones on the market; fifty bottles of Huanglong Pills would cost at least six hundred spirit stones on the market.

Cao Rui squeezed out a portion of the elixirs he had secretly stored, and used up some of the stock in his inner storage bag.

"So, Palace Master, do you think it is enough?"

Xu Qingzhi nodded repeatedly: "Enough, enough! Junior Brother Cao is very generous! Unlike Wu Laogou, asking for a magic weapon is like asking for his life..."

Cao Rui raised his eyebrows slightly: "The head of the Weapon Refining Academy, Wu Qingxuan, is the Palace Master talking about?"

Xu Qingzhi coughed dryly: "Ahem, let's not talk about him."

"Hey, Chief Cao, when do you think I can get the pills for the competition?"

Cao Rui discovered that the old man Xu Qingzhi was quite suitable to be the master of the Internal Affairs Hall. He was thick-skinned enough, so he would become his elixir.

However, since he had already agreed to it, Cao Rui would not fail to fulfill it.

Cao Rui always carried the storage bag from the Alchemy Institute with him.

His spiritual consciousness probed into the storage bag, and Cao Rui quickly counted out a sufficient amount of pills and stuffed them into another empty storage bag, then handed it to Xu Qingzhi.

"Here you go."

Xu Qingzhi couldn't wait to count the storage bags. After a while, Xu Qingzhi finished the count: "Thank you very much! Brother Cao, I will reserve the most central viewing seat for you during the competition! I will definitely publicize your sponsorship!"

Cao Rui waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. This is all for the sake of the sect. It's my job. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I still have to go to the sect."

"Master Cao, take care!"

Under the gaze of Xu Qingzhi, Cao Rui left the Internal Affairs Hall.

At the landing site of the main peak, Cao Rui jumped onto Heiyu's back. Heiyu let out a cry and flew towards the entrance of the Spirit Beast Sect.

After experiencing the invasion of demons.

The Spirit Beast Sect reopened the entrance and exit system.

After the formation is activated, except for the special entrances and exits, entering from other mountain gate locations will trigger resistance from the formation and be considered as an external invasion. The disciples of the Law Enforcement Institute will rush to the scene as soon as possible.

A strict inspection system is implemented at the entrances and exits to prevent evil cultivators from sneaking into the mountain gate.

Cao Ruigui is the head of the Alchemy Institute. He also abides by the rules and rides Black Feather to land at the entrance to be tested.
