"Senior, you can exchange contribution points with material treasures here, or you can directly exchange them with spiritual stones, but that's not worth it."
Huo Xiumao brought Jing Yingrong to the exchange office in the city. The deacon on duty obviously recognized Huo Xiumao and greeted him warmly.
"Master Nephew Huo, what do you need?"
Huo Xiumao: "I'll accompany Junior Sister Jing to redeem contribution points."
The deacon's gaze turned to Jing Yingrong, with surprise flashing in his eyes: "Is this Master Jing's nephew a new disciple in this apprenticeship conference?"
Jing Yingrong: "Yes."
"Then I will briefly introduce the rules of exchange to you."
The deacon spread out a jade-white book, but there was no word in it. He touched his hand, and the pages of the book suddenly shone with light, and in mid-air, lines of text and pictures flowed in the light.
"...Most of the spiritual objects in this world can be exchanged. The result of the exchange depends on the value and quantity of the item..."
The deacon talked eloquently.
After listening, Jing Yingrong stretched out his palm, and there was a round bead lying in his palm. The whole body of the bead is pitch black and bluish, with a little bit of starlight twinkling inside. At first glance, it looks like a mysterious eyeball.
She said: "I will use this to exchange."
Huo Xiumao looked at the beads curiously. He didn't see the reason and wanted to ask the deacon, but turned around and saw the deacon's face was shocked.
"Cang Long Eye? This is Cang Long Eye?!"
Jing Yingrong: "Yeah."
The deacon put on a special pair of magic gloves with both hands, carefully took the beads from Jing Yingrong's hand, and turned to go to the room upstairs.
While waiting for the evaluation results, Huo Xiumao asked Jing Yingrong: "What is the blue dragon eye?"
Jing Yingrong: "A kind of weapon refining material."
Huo Xiumao: "Very precious?"
Jing Yingrong thought for a while and said, "I have a lot here."
Huo Xiumao pondered: "That's not too rare? But why did the deacon have such a big reaction..."
Jing Yingrong did not respond to Huo Xiumao's self-questioning.
Jijie Pen: "Just because Li Chengkong dug up the entire Canglong Eye mineral deposit, you can't think that this thing is not rare enough."
Ji Sha Jian was disdainful: "This thing is not very good to begin with."
Ji Yanzhu: "It really doesn't rank well in the ring, but it still has some value outside."
Ji Sha Jian: "This is all worth making a fuss about. Taichu Guan sect is short of resources?"
Ji Jie Bi smiled and said: "This is the outer gate, so you don't have to be so high-minded."
The butler came down.
He still held the Canglong Eye with great care and said to the mirror: "Master Mirror's nephew, after appraisal and evaluation, your Canglong Eye is of high quality and is worth 100,000 contribution points. Are you sure you want to exchange it?"
Jing Yingrong: "Yes, I need to exchange it."
Deacon: "Please give me the identity token."
The deacon took Jing Yingrong’s identity token to operate.
Jing Yingrong looked at Huo Xiumao on the side and said, "What are you surprised about?"
Huo Xiumao swallowed and whispered, "I haven't contributed more than 100,000 so far..."
After finishing the matter of contribution points, the two went to the port of Tianqiu City.
The port is divided into two by a large formation, with thousands of foreign ships on one side and endless sea beasts on the other. There were a lot of people on both sides, mixed with the roars of sea animals, and the whole port was extremely lively.
"The foreign ship is safe and fast, and the sea beast is exciting and interesting. Which one do you choose, senior?"
Huo Xiumao asked.
Jing Yingrong looked to the left and then to the right.
"Leviathan."
Huo Xiumao took the mirror to Yingrong's side and went to the sea beast's side.
Countless sea beasts were floating in the water, including a huge black-striped whale as big as a mountain, a two-headed demon dragon that was hundreds of feet long, a round shell-swallowing beast, and a three-eyed sea crab with teeth and claws.
Each sea beast is put in a beast-binding hoop and is equipped with a beast master. Depending on the size of the sea beast, the number of people that can ride on each sea beast varies; and depending on the way the sea beast moves, the places for people to ride on it also vary.
Huo Xiumao: "Senior, where do you want to be on the sea?"
The mirror reflects: "Holding the Leaf Island."
"Yeye Island..." Huo Xiumao thought for a moment, "That's the island farthest from the port. Hmm...how about the Zhaohai Beast? It happens to be a two-person ride, and it goes deep into the bottom of Yaohai Sea, so you can have a panoramic view of the seabed scenery."
Jing Yingrong: "Okay."
The sea beast is flat and flat, with a long and thin tail trailing behind it, and its back is covered with dark oval spots.
The beast master was waiting at the shore position corresponding to the sea beast. When he saw the two people walking towards him, he asked politely: "You two want to sit on the sea beast?"
Huo Xiumao: "Yes, how many contribution points do I need to go to Xianye Island?"
The beast master was about to answer, but someone interrupted: "Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Huo? He is willing to sit down and take a photo of the sea beast. I mustn't be dazzled - am I wrong?"
There was a sense of yin and yang in the other party's words, and there was no concealment of ridicule.
Huo Xiumao looked at the other party, his expression unchanged, and said calmly: "Junior brother Xun has good eyesight, but it's a pity that his heart is blind."
"What did you say?!"
Xun Cang was furious. He was holding a beautiful female cultivator on his arm. The female cultivator caught a glimpse of Huo Xiumao's identity token, quietly tugged at the corner of Xun Cang's clothes, and said weakly: "Senior Brother Xun, he is a direct descendant..."
"So what if he's a direct disciple?" Xun Cang deliberately increased his volume, causing people around him to look at him, "Have you ever seen a direct disciple of the Foundation Establishment Stage? Hahahahahaha!"
"Personal disciple? Foundation building stage? Is there such a thing?"
"Ah, I know this. I heard that he is Daojun Yunmeng's new disciple."
"If you can get married during the foundation building period, does that mean your talent is very good? But I look at that person's age..."
Gazes with different meanings fell on Huo Xiumao.
Huo Xiumao pursed his lips tightly and his eyes darkened.
He ignored Xun Cang and repeated the question to the beast master.
Xun Cang, who was ignored, became even more angry. When he saw his face reflected in the mirror, he lost consciousness for a moment, and his eyes were filled with malice and jealousy.
"I asked why Junior Brother Huo, who couldn't even afford an empty cicada skin, suddenly became so generous and willing to ride on a sea beast. It turns out there is a beauty by his side!"
Xun Cang then looked at the mirror and said: "Junior sister, don't look at Junior Brother Huo who is only in the foundation building stage. He is a direct disciple and has a bright future! Although, he stopped for so long in the early stage of foundation building, and he is usually very economical - oh I’m not saying he is poor, don’t get me wrong. But he is still a decent person.”
Xun Cang's words were overtly complimentary and covertly derogatory, and every word was thorny. Others could tell that he was ridiculing Huo Xiumao and deliberately making Huo Xiumao embarrassed in front of Jing Yingrong.
Jing Yingrong glanced at Huo Xiumao, then at Xun Cang, and said, "You are an inner disciple."
Xun Cang was stunned.
Jing Yingrong continued: "According to the rules of the Taichu Guan sect, when inner sect disciples meet their direct disciples, regardless of their level of cultivation, they will respect each other as senior sister and senior brother. Why do you call him junior brother?"
"I……"
Xun Cang was speechless, never expecting Jing Yingrong to ask such a question.
Huo Xiumao also looked surprised.
Xun Cang came back to his senses, his face flushed, and he jumped to his feet and said: "He just got lucky and fell in love with Daojun Yunmeng! My golden elixir monk wants me to call him senior brother, but there is no way! "
