Chapter 2857: Exchange!
Peerless Medicine God · 第2857章 兑换!
How many contribution points were fifty thousand?
To put it this way, for a True Imperial Heaven disciple, undertaking an extremely dangerous mission yielded between 300 and 500 contribution points.
Such missions were basically a matter of life and death; doing two a year was the limit.
For ordinary missions, getting a hundred or so was the ceiling.
And for Saint Imperial Heaven disciples, earning contribution points was obviously even harder.
Even if Ye Yuan was extraordinary, more formidable than Yang Qing, it would take him at least several decades to pay off the debt.
Thus, to others, Ye Yuan's words were simply ridiculous!
"Hahaha, hand it over to you? First pay off your own contribution points, then talk! Hmm? Brother Guo, perfect timing. Ye Yuan has come out of seclusion. He owes the sect over fifty-four thousand contribution points. It's time for him to repay them." Wang Lin laughed loudly.
At that moment, a figure emerged—it was Guo Fang, a disciple of the Enforcement Hall.
He had been sent precisely to arrest Ye Yuan and make him repay his debt!
Since you've broken through to the Xuan rank, fine, come and refine pills.
Guo Fang and Wang Lin were on good terms, and Guo Fang's master had received favors from Qin Shan, so naturally he would side with Wang Lin.
Owing contribution points to the sect naturally had to be repaid, but it wasn't to the point of being arrested right out of seclusion.
A large sect like this wouldn't be short of a few tens of thousands of contribution points.
Guo Fang looked at Ye Yuan and said indifferently, "Junior Brother Ye, please."
Many people were watching the show.
Even the Enforcement Hall had been mobilized; could he still turn the tide now?
Better obediently refine pills and repay the points!
Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm not going."
Wang Lin immediately beamed with joy upon hearing this.
That's exactly what he wanted—for Ye Yuan to refuse!
Sure enough, Guo Fang said coolly, "Going or not is not up to you."
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Of course it's up to me!"
Guo Fang said, "So, Junior Brother Ye is forcing me to take action? Don't think that just because Uncle-Master Zuo protects you, you can defy the Enforcement Hall. If the Enforcement Hall wants to arrest someone, Uncle-Master Zuo can't stop it!"
Guo Fang was also a half-step Emperor realm expert!
His ranking was lower than Luo Hao's, but he was still ninth; dealing with Ye Yuan was a piece of cake, wasn't it?
And the Enforcement Hall held a transcendent position in the Extreme Medicine Sect; neither Dao of Alchemy experts nor martial arts experts dared to provoke it.
Seeing this, Wang Lin and Zheng Qian smiled even more gleefully.
Ye Yuan shrugged, unconcerned, and said, "Isn't it just over fifty thousand contribution points? I'll pay them off today, and that'll be the end of it. What's the big deal? You all put on such self-righteous airs—it's really frightening!"
Wang Lin laughed loudly, "Just over fifty thousand contribution points? Hahaha... Do you think you're an Emperor realm expert? Even an Emperor realm expert couldn't conjure up fifty thousand contribution points in a single day! Talking big without fear of biting your tongue!"
Ye Yuan couldn't be bothered with him and looked at Guo Fang, saying, "I'm going to earn contribution points now. Do you want to follow?"
Guo Fang frowned slightly and nodded, "If you want to stall for time, so be it. But it must be within today."
Ye Yuan had just come out of seclusion today; if he could repay the debt today, Guo Fang would have nothing to say.
If he arrested him directly, it would be against the rules.
Ye Yuan didn't waste words; he turned and left.
...
The Merit Hall was where the Extreme Medicine Sect issued tasks and exchanged contribution points.
This method of contribution points was also how most sects maintained normal operations.
No matter how large a sect was, it wasn't a bottomless pit.
Over time, resources would always be depleted.
Thus, every disciple had the obligation to maintain the sect's operations, including the sect master.
At that moment, a large crowd suddenly surged into the Merit Hall, immediately attracting countless gazes.
Ye Yuan went to the task counter and directly said, "I am a disciple of Emperor Zuo Chen. I wish to see Uncle-Master Fei Wen!"
Shen Feiwen was the highest authority of the Merit Hall and also Zuo Chen's senior brother.
Naturally, Ye Yuan didn't know this; Yang Qing had told him.
That disciple was only at the Saint Imperial Heaven level; upon hearing that Ye Yuan was Zuo Chen's disciple, he naturally dared not be negligent.
Soon, Shen Feiwen came out and looked Ye Yuan up and down.
“Are you Ye Yuan? I've heard of you—your talent is monstrous, but unfortunately you're a rogue cultivator! What do you want from me?” Shen Feiwen said.
Ye Yuan said, “I've come to exchange contribution points.”
Shen Feiwen frowned and said, “As I recall, you just came out of seclusion, didn't you? You haven't even taken on any tasks. What do you have to exchange for contribution points?”
Shen Feiwen naturally wouldn't know an ordinary Saint Emperor.
But Ye Yuan's reputation was too great; Shen Feiwen couldn't help but hear of him.
“Hehe, Uncle-Master Feiwen, Ye Yuan owes the Sutra Pavilion fifty-four thousand contribution points. He said he could earn them in one day. We thought he was amazing, so we came to watch,” Wang Lin chimed in at the right moment.
Shen Feiwen was taken aback, then laughed, “Boy, bragging is not a good habit! Not to mention you, even I couldn't earn fifty thousand contribution points in a day!”
Wang Lin laughed, “Uncle-Master, Ye Yuan is a miracle worker. Maybe he really can earn fifty thousand contribution points in a day!”
Shen Feiwen knew that he and Ye Yuan were at odds, and he caught the sarcasm in his words. He looked at Ye Yuan and smiled, “Oh? What are you going to use to earn fifty thousand contribution points?”
“With these!”
Ye Yuan didn't waste words. With a flick of his sleeve, a pile of jade slips appeared on the ground, stacked as high as a small hill!
These jade slips were exactly what he had obtained in the Lost Spirit Palace.
In the fifty years before he came to the Tianyi Continent, he had been studying these things.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have reached the Xuan rank so quickly.
The grade of these jade slips wasn't high, roughly comparable to those on the fifth and sixth floors of the Sutra Pavilion.
But the content recorded in these jade slips was absolutely extraordinary!
At the height of the Lost Spirit Palace's prosperity, how glorious it was!
Their alchemy strength was at least as strong as the current Extreme Medicine Sect, if not stronger!
They wouldn't even look at ordinary things!
What could be stored in their treasure pavilion were treasures among treasures.
Originally, Ye Yuan planned to donate these directly to the Extreme Medicine Sect, but now, exchanging them for contribution points seemed fine too.
The appearance of these jade slips startled everyone in the room.
What kind of move was this?
Seeing this, Wang Lin couldn't help but laugh loudly, “I thought you had some skill, but it's just a pile of worthless jade slips! In this Tai Ming Yu Wan Heaven, where else has more scriptures than our Extreme Medicine Sect?”
Zheng Qian also laughed, “Senior Brother Wang is joking. He's trying to win by quantity! Think about it, even if each jade slip is worth fifty contribution points, a thousand slips would be fifty thousand!”
But could a single jade slip be worth fifty contribution points?
Impossible!
The Sutra Pavilion of the Extreme Medicine Sect was filled to the rafters with books.
There were countless jade slips of all grades.
These jade slips were at best an embellishment, not worth much.
Moreover, what good things could a mere Saint Emperor have?
Could his jade slips be better than the scriptures collected over hundreds of thousands of years by those Dominators?
Shen Feiwen also laughed, “Nephew Ye, trying to exchange contribution points with quantity probably won't work! You need to know that the scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion are all screened. Unrefined scriptures can't even enter the Sutra Pavilion. Even if they do, if they're not very valuable, they'll at most get you three or five contribution points. So, you'd better take these back.”
Ye Yuan wasn't angry; instead, he smiled, “Uncle-Master, that statement is a bit too hasty. How about picking one to look at first?”
Shen Feiwen shook his head and laughed, “Alright, no harm in looking.”
Wang Lin and the others also wore mocking expressions.
Just keep putting up a front!
So, Shen Feiwen casually picked up a jade slip and immersed his divine sense into it.
Soon, his expression changed drastically!
“This… this is the long-lost ‘Xuan Xin Ru Meng Pian’!”
Shen Feiwen's face was full of shock as he looked at Ye Yuan.
This ‘Xuan Xin Ru Meng Pian’ was definitely on par with the sixth floor of the Sutra Pavilion.
Moreover, it was a lost text!
Ye Yuan seemed to have expected this and smiled, “Uncle-Master, care to look again?”
Shen Feiwen's hand trembled, and his gaze toward Ye Yuan changed.
Don't tell me that all these jade slips are of the same level as ‘Xuan Xin Ru Meng Pian’?
Between doubt and belief, he couldn't help but pick up another jade slip.
His expression changed again!
