Chapter 713: Ye Yuan's Point-Farming Plan!

There aren't that many reasons to argue in this world.

The world of martial artists is inherently cruel, and in the Divine Realm, this is not weakened but strengthened.

Martial artists from the lower realm have no faction affiliation and are relatively weak, so they are naturally exploited.

For ascenders who know nothing, they are full of longing for the Divine Realm, believing it to be a beautiful world, a paradise for martial artists.

But after ascending, they realize it's not like that at all.

Even native martial artists of the Divine Realm are exploited by higher-level martial artists.

How easy is it to carve out a path?

Martial artists who can cultivate to the peak in the Divine Realm need greater perseverance and more outstanding talent.

Otherwise, they can only fade into obscurity.

"This... Is there no other way to earn contribution points besides mining?" Huang Tao couldn't help asking.

"Heh, there is, of course. But do you think you're capable of getting it?" Steward Lu said disdainfully.

Huang Tao had been struck down countless times today, but he still couldn't help asking, "Steward Lu, please tell me!"

Steward Lu waved his hand and said, "Xiao Yu, you tell them. I'm sick of explaining this stuff all day!"

Yu Ming responded to Huang Tao, "Your current status is only temporary residents of Gufeng City. Only after you've accumulated a thousand contribution points are you qualified to become full residents of Gufeng City. Then you can become guards of Gufeng City like us. Of course, you can also find other professions. These professions offer contribution points as rewards, much more comfortable than mining. If you want to earn contribution points now, you'll have to take on missions. But let me tell you, the mortality rate for missions is extremely high. Even we dare not take missions lightly. As for you..."

The implication was that they were too weak!

"Hehe, why are you being so subtle, Xiao Yu? I've never seen an ascender like you come back from a mission!" Steward Lu added inopportunely.

Everyone's hearts tightened upon hearing this.

Was the mortality rate really that high?

Huang Tao had no temper now. Would he dare to take a mission with a one hundred percent death rate?

Better to just mine obediently!

"Steward Lu, are there any missions suitable for an alchemist?" Ye Yuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked.

Ye Yuan was not surprised by this management style in Gufeng City.

For a faction to develop, it must exploit the interests of lower-level martial artists, making the strong stronger!

But Ye Yuan also knew that alchemists generally held a high status in the Divine Realm. Since that was the case, why not appear as an alchemist?

Steward Lu glanced at Ye Yuan with slight surprise and said, "You're an alchemist?"

"That's right!"

Steward Lu shook his head slightly and said, "It's useless! You're only at the Spirit Travel realm and can't refine sixth-tier pills. Missions below the sixth tier don't give contribution points!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No matter. Even if I can't refine sixth-tier pills, I still have the skill to heal people. Could I trouble Steward Lu to check for me? This small gift is my greeting to you."

Ye Yuan casually took out a sixth-tier spirit herb and handed it to Steward Lu.

Steward Lu took the herb and said in surprise, "Although sixth-tier spirit herbs aren't much in the Divine Realm, they are rare in the lower realm!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I happened to come across one by chance. Since I have no use for it now, I might as well give it to you as a favor."

This spirit herb was not from the Boundless Realm but something Ye Yuan had extorted in the Divine Forbidden Demon Region.

He actually had many more spirit herbs, but he naturally wouldn't take them out. He understood the principle of 'the innocent man with a jewel incriminates himself.'

In fact, Ye Yuan could now refine sixth-tier pills, but after entering the Divine Realm, he didn't want to expose himself too much.

Before his wings were fully grown, excessive exposure would only invite death.

Although the Divine Realm was vast, the Medicine King Hall was one of the eight great super holy lands, with immense power. Ordinary martial artists simply couldn't comprehend how strong a super holy land was.

If any news leaked to Ji Canglan, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Even in the Divine Realm, those who could refine pills across tiers were extremely rare.

If he made a name for himself and attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives, it would be bad.

Ji Canglan knew him too well; if he saw the pills Ye Yuan refined, he would definitely recognize them at a glance!

It could be said that after arriving in the Divine Realm, danger lurked everywhere!

Steward Lu didn't stand on ceremony and directly pocketed the spirit herb.

"Hey, you've got some sense, kid. Fine, I know you're unwilling to mine. There are naturally alchemist missions, but if you can't complete them, don't blame me!" Steward Lu said.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Steward Lu."

No matter where you go, the injured and sick are everywhere.

The most well-known skill of alchemists is pill refining, but pill refining doesn't cover everything an alchemist can do.

As long as one is proficient in pharmacology, a low-level alchemist can also treat high-level martial artists.

If Ye Yuan, a dignified Pill Emperor, were reduced to mining, he might as well bash his head against a wall.

Steward Lu took out a jade token and tossed it to Ye Yuan, saying, "Kid, these are the alchemist missions. They're all at least sixth-tier. Take a good look. Don't say I didn't warn you; reaching for what's beyond your grasp can get you killed in the Divine Realm!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Steward Lu. I understand!"

With that, Ye Yuan took the jade token and sank his divine sense into it. A long list of missions imprinted into his mind.

As Steward Lu had said, most alchemist missions were requests for pills. However, there were always some difficult and complicated ailments that required an alchemist's help.

Ye Yuan scanned through the missions, then returned the jade token to Steward Lu, saying, "I've marked the missions I want to take. Please help me accept them."

Steward Lu was somewhat puzzled by Ye Yuan's words.

It seemed from Ye Yuan's tone that he had accepted more than one mission?

When he sank his divine sense into the jade token, his hand trembled, and he nearly dropped it.

"You... you're asking for death! Taking so many missions at once!" Steward Lu stared at Ye Yuan as if he had seen a ghost.

"Uh... Is there something wrong?" Ye Yuan asked in confusion.

"You, you, you... You're infuriating me! If not for the spirit herb, I wouldn't bother with you! Every time you accept a mission, the city lord's mansion takes a twenty percent cut of the contribution points. If you take so many missions at once and fail to complete them, the city lord's mansion will directly execute you!" Steward Lu said with a look of disappointment.

Ye Yuan suddenly understood and smiled, saying, "Thank you for the reminder, Steward Lu. But... these missions are very simple. It's fine."
