Back at the residence, Ling Xian was all alone, as Xiang Ru Gu hadn’t returned.
Ling Xian had just infused his spiritual energy into his white jade token and inside his brain, the exchange program appeared. When he shifted his gaze to look at the screen, he was very much startled.
Because for one, the heavenly treasures available was far too shocking. For two, the requirements for getting them were a very high standard and required way too much contribution points.
Looking at the many different numbers and noticing the many different valuable treasures and the astronomical numbers that followed behind, he was almost blinded.
Real dragon blood, a substance that could help cleanse the body and ensure powerful physique, was a rare treasure.
The requirement to purchase: a direct descendant. Contribution points required: 180,000.
The feather of a phoenix, a top-notch material for crafts that could make a craft incredibly offensive by allowing it to tear apart the heaven and earth.
The requirement to purchase: a direct descendant. Contribution points required: 190,000 per one feather.
The Dan of Seven Miracles, a Dan that could help a living being have seven different enlightenments - one could use the power of this item to achieve breakthroughs and be enlightened.
The requirement to purchase: must be an Elder. Contribution points required: 250,000 per one.
The Life Extending Dan, a Dan that could allow all humans or beasts to acquire an additional 300 years of life after consumption.
The requirement to purchase: must be an Elder. Contribution points required: 280,000 per one.
Without a doubt, all of these treasures were very rare. Any one of them, if out on the market, would create a bloody commotion. Yet on this screen, these heavenly treasures were ranked very low and were on the bottom of the list.
What did this mean?
It meant that there were much more insane treasures that were worth more than these items.
Comparatively, the requirements and the contribution points needed would undoubtedly be a lot higher as well.
“Such high prices, the Shang Qing Sect sure is greedy.”
Looking at all the heavenly items that made his heart flutter, Ling Xian smiled bitterly. The treasures on there were truly shocking and he wanted them.
Yet he couldn’t afford any of them.
Originally he believed that 100,000 contribution points was a huge sum of money and though it could not buy the highest ranked treasure, it would allow him to purchase many goods.
Yet after looking and studying the exchange program did he realize, 100,000 contribution points truly was a huge sum of money. Most of the descendants of the Shang Qing Sect could not earn this much money in their lifetime.
But to acquire those treasures, this was not nearly enough!
This made him speechless. Then, he continued to study the screen as he did not want to give up. He attempted to try and find some cheaper items.
After he scanned the screen, again and again, he was even more speechless and was almost close to crying tearlessly.
Because the heavenly items on there were truly rare. In the entire Taoism community, they were highly ranked treasures that could not be easily found. To match up to that, the asking prices were all astronomical numbers that would make anyone’s heart feel bitter.
“The Shang Qing Sect is far too greedy. I thought I made myself somewhat rich but I just realized I cannot afford any of these items.”
Ling Xian shook his head bitterly. The more he looked at the screen and the more his heart fluttered, the more he felt bitter.
What could he do? The treasures on there were far too valuable. Though he had seen so many treasures in his life, he still couldn’t help but desire them. But god damn, he did not have enough contribution points and he could only admire and sigh.
Therefore, why wouldn’t he feel bitter?
As much as he felt bitter, he also felt strange.
The cheapest treasure on there was the real dragon’s blood and it required 100,000 contribution points. It was already an astronomical figure and who could afford it other than a selective few?
Yet there were tens and thousands of descendants inside the Shang Qing Sect. If the lowest ranked ones contained real dragon’s blood, then what was the point in trying to gain contribution points?
Ling Xian really found this strange and was suspicious. After staring at the screen for a while, he finally found the reason.
It appeared that when he asked to see the exchange program, he didn’t specify which ranks of treasures he wanted. Therefore, the system automatically assumed and only displayed the highest rated treasures.
“I see how it is.” Ling Xian came to a realization. He called out silently and selected the lowest ranked items.
Then, he was ecstatic and suddenly felt like 100,000 contribution points was an astronomical figure!
Because out of everything displayed, the most expensive item required merely 10 contribution points and the least expensive one only required one point. This is extremely cheap!
Of course, these cheap items were no different than trash to Ling Xian.
He continued to flip through the pages and started to find items that he had the ability to purchase and were relatively worthy items. Sadly, after seeing the highest ranked treasures, why would he be interested in these slightly worse treasures?
Therefore, he flipped the screen back to the first page he saw and from there, he found the strongest and highest level inheritance of the Shang Qing Sect.
Then, he became furious. Because the price of it was insanely high. Anyone who saw it would be swearing at it!
The Shang Qing Technique, the highest level inheritance of the Sect, was divided into 3 scrolls and 12 chapters.
To purchase the first chapter, only admitted pupils could purchase it and the price of it was 1,000 contribution points.
Looking at that wouldn’t make you think acquiring this technique was that difficult. But if you kept on reading, you will go insane.
Because the price of the second chapter was five times the first chapter, making it 5,000 contribution points. The third chapter was five times the second chapter at 25,000 contribution points!
The fourth chapter followed the same pattern. In other words, every single chapter was worth five times more than the previous.
Therefore, even with Ling Xian’s mentality, he felt his head hurt.
He also knew very well that the Shang Qing Technique was one of the best techniques in Yuezhou and maybe even in the world. However, only having the first chapter was utterly useless because it wouldn’t allow one to understand the full powerfulness of it.
In other words, to truly comprehend and master the technique, one must get one’s hands on all three scrolls and 12 chapters.
Therefore, the contribution points required for this treasure ended up being an astronomical number. Naturally, Ling Xian felt his heart hurt.
“This is a joke. With what I have, I can only purchase the first three chapters.”
Ling Xian shook his head with a wry smile. He understood how difficult it was to acquire contribution points. If he depended merely on completing missions, he would never get all the contribution points he needed.
However, the Shang Qing Sect’s Technique was something he had to get. Therefore, no matter what, he would get it!
“It looks like I will have to slowly gather the points through accomplishing missions. However, I cannot choose the missions this path asks for. Because the gain is far too little. ”
Ling Xian tightly locked his eyebrows together. After staying silent for a while, he thought of a place that could help him gain some contribution points.
The prerequisite was that he had to be very capable. And capability was the one thing he didn’t lack.
“Then it’s decided. I will enlighten myself with the Immortal of Crafts’ inheritance then I will head there straight to gain some contribution points.”
Ling Xian had a faint grin on his face after making his decision. Then, he slowly closed his eyes and indulged himself in the Immortal of Crafts’ inheritance.
Because during class today, he suddenly felt like he was at the edge of a breakthrough. If it weren’t for that class, he would’ve continued to enlighten himself.
Now that Dong Fang Yu had said there was no more need for him to attend class, he naturally had to treasure his time.
Just like that, Ling Xian calmed himself down and studied the inheritance seriously.
Just as he was silently studying and enlightening, the beautiful professor, Dong Fang Yu, was going crazy from rage.
