As mentioned in the last chapter, after the "exploration" ended, Zhou Jun, Li Mei and other survivors were teleported out and were about to be sent back to their respective sects by the "teacher commander".
"Okay, since all the surviving disciples of our sect are here, let's return to the sect together." Li Yinghao and Li Mei nodded to each other, and then greeted a group of "outer sect deacons" and more than a hundred surviving "outer sects" "Disciple" gave the order, and then they chanted incantations and cast spells to control the air and fly to the southwest.
"Master, my disciple and my senior sister have harvested a lot of 'spiritual fruits' and elixirs that can prolong life in the secret realm, which will surely allow you and my senior sister to delay..."
As soon as he said this, Zhou Jun suddenly thought of something, and quickly turned his face to look at Li Mei and said with a smile: "Senior sister, put the storage bag..."
"Giggle, I got it, don't worry." Li Mei seemed to be having fun, still clinging to her father's arms regardless, enjoying the tenderness.
"Haha, this little girl won't grow up, so I really need to worry about it!" Li Yinghao suddenly looked embarrassed and said, "Junior sister, I don't know about that..." The words were on his lips but he was embarrassed to say them out. , after all, monks' "yin and yang dual cultivation" is different from the ordinary people's "man has sex with woman" and has sex.
"Giggle, I got it, good senior brother, have you forgotten that 'I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry'? Just leave it to my little sister, I will definitely satisfy you, giggle."
As soon as the words fell, everyone cast spells together to speed up, and stepped away on the dark clouds. After an hour of flying and thousands of miles, they finally returned safely to the "outer gate" of "Changbai Sect". Next, the deacons called their names and asked their disciples to line up and present the treasures.
"Where is the disciple of my 'Changbai Sect' who is in the Qi refining stage?"————"The disciple is here!"
"This is the end of the assessment of you by Mr. Li and Elder Lu on behalf of our sect!" Li Yinghao and Lu Songyuan nodded to each other and continued loudly:
"At this moment, no matter who you are, as long as you can come out of the 'Secret Realm' alive, you will be considered to have passed the test of this sect! However, if you want to obtain the 'Foundation-Building Pill', you must combine what you got in the Secret Realm." All the treasures are dedicated to the sect! The number of 'Foundation Building Pills' will be distributed based on the value of the treasures!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar. After all, the "Foundation Building Pill" is not an ordinary pill. It is a necessary condition for the "Great Perfection Stage of Qi Refining" monks to advance to the "Foundation Building Stage". In addition, in addition to those who have surpassed the "Tianling Root" qualification, If other people with "spiritual root attributes" want to successfully build their foundation, they cannot do without taking the "Foundation Building Pill".
Normally, those with "Heavenly Spiritual Roots" only need one "Foundation-Building Pill" to build the Dao Foundation, while those with "Earthly Spiritual Roots" often need to take two "Foundation-Building Pills" if they are not completely sure. . As for the "Human Spiritual Roots", "Four Elements Wasted Spiritual Roots", and "Five Elements False Spiritual Roots", at least three or more "Foundation Building Pills" are needed!
As for the price of "Foundation Building Pills", in the "Inner Gate Market" of large sects, the price is no less than 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones or corresponding "Sect Contribution Points" each, but in the "Outer Gate" The selling price in "Fangshi" is often doubled and can only be purchased with spirit stones. If it is sold at auction, the selling price is even higher!
Sometimes, in years when the production of "Foundation Building Pills" is reduced, each pill can even be auctioned for more than 30,000 spiritual stones, which is simply a sky-high price!
For someone like Zhou Jun who gets double salary, even if the monthly salary is calculated as the basic salary of 10 low-grade spiritual stones + three bigu pills + two powerful pills + one Qi training pill + one "sect contribution point", Even if you don't eat or drink, you have to work hard for 10 years to save enough money to buy a "Foundation Building Pill". How sad!
Therefore, many outer sect disciples with poor "spiritual qualifications", low-level disciples of cultivation families, and low-level casual cultivators may not be able to obtain a "Foundation Building Pill" by accumulating wealth throughout their lives. However, people like the "Changbai Sect" and other "ancient cultivation sects" who were exterminated are considered generous in this regard!
Compared to the entire "cultivation world", this is at least true to its word. Even if there are "cowards" who enter the "secret realm" and wake up, they quickly hide and practice secretly, and are teleported out when the time is up, but they can He avoided the risk of being killed when he was initially unconscious, so he made a contribution when adding up the number of people.
Therefore, in order to "look good" when doing "advertising", the sect deliberately downplayed the "risk of fall" of "not one out of ten", but deliberately delayed again and again when issuing the "Foundation Establishment Pill" until These "cheating and sneaky" people will only be given out if they contribute more than one "Foundation Pill" to the sect.
"Where are Li Mei and Zhou Jun? All of you who have been called by name, hurry up and present the treasures you have in the 'secret realm'! Hehe."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mei and Zhou Jun, who were originally standing with more than a hundred surviving disciples in the huge square, were the first to step out of the queue. Under the envious and jealous eyes of the "deacons", they came to the "deacons" one after another. "in the palace". There were already many "inner deacons" and three elders waiting inside.
The "Inner Sect Deacons" mostly come from the "Alchemy Hall", "Weapon Refining Hall", "Talk Making Hall", "Transfer Hall", "Spiritual Beast Hall", "Lingzhi Hall", "Xianjiang Hall", " Formation Hall" and other "business halls", and the three "inner elders" are the two elders surnamed Huang from the "Alchemy Hall" and "Weapon Refining Hall" and Bai Zhongyu from the "Chuangong Hall".
The two elders surnamed Huang were originally two cousins in the "Xiuzhen Family" affiliated to the sect, named "Huang Shouxing" and "Huang Lixin" respectively. Although the former was a cousin, he possessed the "Three Elements" of "Fire, Wood, and Earth". "Spiritual root" and compound the law of "earth produces wood, wood produces fire, fire produces earth", so it is suitable for alchemy since childhood.
Huang Lixin is a cousin, and his "qualification" is the same as his cousin Huang Shouxing's "Three Elements Miscellaneous Spiritual Roots", but it is "Fire, Metal, and Earth". According to the "Five Elements Generating and Restricting", it is deduced that "Fire overcomes metal, and earth generates metal." "Fire produces earth", so he is not suitable for alchemy, but he has shown talent in refining weapons since he was a child and was trained by his family.
As for "Bai Zhongyu", although he is the elder of "Chuangong Hall", he was born as an orphan. A senior of our sect met him among the people by chance during a trip and found that he has "mixed spiritual roots of the three elements of metal, water and earth". The principle is that "metal generates water, earth controls water, and earth generates metal", so it was adopted.
Seeing that the little wanderer's "qualifications" were acceptable, the sect's senior taught him "Swordsmanship" and "Water and Earth Skills", so he was also specially trained.
However, these are not the main point, because they have already become "Elixir-forming Monks" who stand at the pinnacle of "low-level monks". They are euphemistically called "Jindan Zhenren" and are the "mainstay" of various cultivation forces, controlling cultivation. Responsible for the daily operation of the sect, responsible for various supervision and operational checks.
For example, this time they were responsible for the "quality control" and "value assessment" of the "Secret Realm Exploration" harvest. The "inner door deacons" of each hall were first jointly responsible and coordinated. When they encountered something difficult to determine the value, they The three "inner sect elders" came forward to resolve the matter and jointly agreed on the "sect contribution points".
"Disciple is here!" Zhou Jun and Li Mei responded at the same time: "Seniors, please take a look!" The two nodded to each other and handed over their storage bags.
"Eh? 'Chalcedony Mushroom', 'Purple Monkey Flower', 'Soul-Eating Vine', 'Diling Grass', 'Tianling Fruit', 'Shouyuan Fruit', 'Qingling Shou Fruit'... this... This is the main ingredient of the 'Foundation Building Pill' and the 'Immortality Pill'!" The deacons couldn't help but be shocked after seeing it, pointing at the various spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits on the long table in front of them and smiling happily.
In addition, there are many other types of rare materials such as "spiritual mines", "demon pills", "demon beast remains" and other items, which also made the deacons full of joy. However, there are too many materials that can be used to make low-level "talisman paper" such as "Seven Star Grass" and monster fur, so I am too lazy to choose carefully.
However, when Li Mei handed over the three jade slips obtained from the "Inheritance Hall" in the "Secret Realm" to the three "Inner Sect Elders", everyone couldn't help being surprised, and then smiled awkwardly. : "You two juniors, even though you are disciples of our sect, you should know what the meaning of 'secret realm experience' is?"
"Giggles, the three seniors were joking. The juniors just want to complete all the subsequent skills in these three jade slips. As for the other items obtained in the secret realm, they will be converted into "Sect How about a contribution?" Li Mei knew that this was the sect's welfare that she should strive for most!
"This... shouldn't we consider the 'magic weapon', 'magic weapon', 'spiritual stone' and 'foundation pill'?" After hearing this, the three elders couldn't help but look at each other and said:
"After all, the combined gains of both of you are not enough for 10,000 'Sect Contribution Points'! Leaving aside the 'Spiritual Stones', 'Magical Weapons', 'Talk' and 'Elixirs' rewarded by the Sect, they can only be redeemed at most. The follow-up skills of the two jade slips, as for the follow-up skills of the third jade slip, I am afraid they can only..."
"What can we do? The three seniors might as well say it straight." Li Mei and Zhou Jun couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this: "Don't we still have to make up the difference?"
"Hehe/hehe/haha, of course!" The three elders nodded to each other and then said loudly: "No more, no less, one hundred thousand spiritual stones!"
"What? One hundred thousand spiritual stones! Oh my god! Why don't you go and grab it?" After hearing this, Li Mei opened her mouth into an "O" shape, almost doubting her life.
"Uh... Three seniors, one hundred thousand spiritual stones is indeed too much! Can you be accommodating and see if we can solve it in other ways? After all..."
"Haha, that's easy to say!" Bai Zhongyu, who was sitting among them, took a quick look at Zhou Jun and discovered that with his "Five Elements Pseudo Spiritual Roots" qualification, he was able to rise from an "ordinary person" to a "Foundation-Building True Cultivator" in just one year. Then he asked curiously: "If your boy wins the first place in the next 'Sect Competition', then..."
"Sect competition? This... dare I ask what the seniors mean..." After hearing this, Zhou Jun and Li Mei couldn't help but look at each other: "Could it be that they are inner disciples..."
"Haha, of course!" After hearing this, the three high-ranking "inner sect elders" all rolled their long beards and said with a smile: "Two years later, all inner sect disciples will have to go through the sect competition "once every ten years". Bi' is divided into two levels, the 'Foundation Building Stage' and the 'True Pill Stage', and those with the lowest scores will be exiled to the outer sect."
"Uh... this... two years later seems a bit far away. I wonder if I can pay the 'sect contribution points' in advance now? How about using our sect salary as collateral? If it is really not enough, you might as well consider the following Use other methods, such as mortgaging this 'top quality magical weapon' and 'Shikigami Demon Ape'?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mei turned over her hands, and a "three-foot short stick" and a "sealing talisman" appeared out of thin air. They turned out to be the weapons and spirits of the "giant ape monster" in the "secret realm". Blood and soul! He was originally a disciple in the Qi refining stage of the "Ten Thousand Demons Valley", but now he has become someone else's wealth.
"Haha/Haha/Quack, it's easy to say, it's a deal!" The three superior inner sect elders nodded to each other and said. After the inventory harvest was completed, each of you used your identity token to go to the "Inner Sect Training Hall" for freedom. Can be exchanged. As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them used their "magic pens" to write down the accounts and sign their names.
