Chapter 123 Flavor Ants
Xia Yuhui earned a total of over 12,000 contribution points this time, which is already quite a high number. If he could earn another 10,000 or 20,000, he could exchange them for a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Among the three, he received the most contribution points, which made Jin Shengguang, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, quite unhappy. He, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, only received about 10,000 contribution points, while Xia Yuhui, an early-Foundation Establishment cultivator, received 2,000 more.
At the same time, he had already acknowledged Xia Yuhui's strength and began to place Xia Yuhui on an equal footing with himself, since in the world of cultivation, strength is fundamental.
“Three seniors, if you sell this monster's corpse here, you can also earn contribution points,” the Guiyun Sect cultivator in charge of exchanging contribution points said cautiously.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Yuhui agreed. The three monster corpses brought him another 6,000 contribution points, bringing his total to 18,000.
Having gained so many contribution points, Xia Yuhui immediately asked the cultivator how to exchange them for items.
"Senior, please see, the items in the jade slip can be freely exchanged as long as you have enough contribution points."
Xia Yuhui took the jade slip and began to examine it. The jade slip contained nearly ten thousand items, some of which Xia Yuhui had never heard of before. Of course, their uses were also marked next to them. With just a glance, Xia Yuhui saw many things that excited him.
However, he did not rush to buy it, but continued to examine it. Seeing Xia Yuhui's behavior, the two members of the Jin family also took jade slips from the Guiyun Sect disciples to examine them.
"Seniors, you may take the jade slip back for further examination."
Despite this, none of the three left, because some of the items on the jade slip kept changing, some increasing while others gradually disappeared. Clearly, the missing items had been replaced.
After watching for a while, Xia Yuhui was immediately attracted by an item.
This is something Xia Yuhui absolutely needs. It is called Gray Soul Stone and is a material for refining weapons. Xia Yuhui wants to obtain this stone because his natal spiritual weapon, which is also a magic weapon sword embryo, is made from this stone. It is an auxiliary main material for refining his natal spiritual weapon, and its price is as high as 22,000 contribution points.
Upon seeing the price, Xia Yuhui's expression instantly turned serious. This was only an auxiliary material, yet it was already so expensive. If it were the main material, wouldn't the price be even higher?
Xia Yuhui carefully examined the list and immediately discovered more than ten kinds of auxiliary materials. However, their prices were all much lower than that of the auxiliary material. Thus, Xia Yuhui gradually accepted it.
After a moment of contemplation, Xia Yuhui exchanged all the dozen or so auxiliary materials, while keeping the main auxiliary material for the time being, since this stone was quite rare and few people would exchange for it.
As for the reason for its high price, in addition to being used to refine some rare spiritual artifacts, it is also food for a kind of demon beast called the Stone Brain Beast. It is a species born of nature and possesses the strength of the second tier. After growing for a thousand years, it can directly advance to the third tier. This Gray Soul Stone can greatly increase its growth rate.
Such monsters are mostly found in the northern border regions, so this Gray Soul Stone must have been found there as well.
After putting everything into his storage bag, Xia Yuhui bid farewell to the Jin family. The Qingpo Lamp had absorbed many souls this time, so his sea of consciousness must have been greatly strengthened. He needed to go back and stabilize his sea of consciousness.
Otherwise, even if one has a vast amount of knowledge, it may be unrealistic, which could lead to unforeseen problems.
After arriving at a cave dwelling prepared specifically for him, Xia Yuhui began to solidify his divine sense bit by bit.
This process took more than five days. After Xia Yuhui finished, he began cultivating again.
Every bit of improvement in his strength brings him more security, so he must seize every minute and second.
There are two second-tier top-grade spiritual veins in this market. One was originally there, while the other was moved here from within the Guiyun Sect using a secret technique, with the purpose of creating opportunities for cultivation for the cultivators here.
After all, if one cannot even cultivate, how can one have the morale to fight a war?
With such abundant spiritual energy, Xia Yuhui naturally found cultivation to be effortless.
He has already vaguely touched the second level of Foundation Establishment, and it is believed that he will be able to break through to the third level of Foundation Establishment soon. As for the bottleneck, it has not appeared since Xia Yuhui acquired a spiritual body.
One month later, inside a house.
There were seven people in the room at the moment, all of whom were Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they were obviously Xia Yuhui and his group.
Daoist Luoyun sat upright in the main seat and slowly spoke, "Overall, this mission for everyone has not been too difficult. I hope we can work together and return safely."
"Yes……"
The other six immediately nodded in agreement.
Now, with the January rest period just over, Guiyun Sect has already given them a mission: to intercept a group of beasts.
At this time, the main battle had not been over for long, so the demon beasts sent small groups of beasts to harass them. Some of these groups would often rush into the rear and surge into the territory of the ancient kingdom. Their mission this time was to stop such a group of beasts.
After informing them of the mission details, Daoist Luoyun led his team and quickly set off.
Once outside the market, the group each used their own methods: some flew using magical artifacts, some used escape techniques, and some even rode on demonic beasts.
Xia Yuhui naturally took out his small flying boat. Although it was slow, it was not the slowest among them. The slowest one was Akagi Yoshihiro, whom he had injured before. At this moment, the man seemed to have recovered from his injuries.
However, Xia Yuhui knew in his heart that this person was only like this on the surface, and probably had hidden injuries inside his body. If he was not careful, the injuries might worsen.
Therefore, Xia Yuhui remained extremely wary of him, fearing that this person harbored deep hatred for him. If he were to inadvertently reveal any weakness, the man would likely attack him immediately.
Once he makes a move, even that Akagi Yoshiaki or that mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Akagi family whom he has never met might be detrimental to him.
Although Akagi Yoshiaki slowed everyone down, they were still quite fast. In less than half an incense stick's time, they spotted a group of demonic beasts in the distance.
The group of demonic beasts had already sensed their presence.
This group of demonic beasts was a pack of Swiftwind Wolf Demons, renowned for their speed and ferocity. The pack included over a dozen second-tier demonic beasts; while numerous, their high-level combat power was somewhat lacking, and no powerful demons appeared.
Upon seeing this, everyone was overjoyed and was about to step forward to claim the credit when they were stopped by Daoist Luoyun. He then took a black insect out of his ear.
Upon seeing the black insect, many people looked puzzled, but Xia Yuhui instantly recalled relevant information about the insect in his mind.
This is a kind of spirit insect called the Taste Ant Insect. Its sense of smell is exceptionally sensitive, and it can detect any scent within a radius of 500 miles. Even if a cultivator has special concealment techniques, they will be completely ineffective against it.
Xia Yuhui observed the expressions of those around him and understood their limited knowledge. Among these people, only the Jin family members and Xia Yuhui himself should know about this insect.
After all, their two families have the longest history. The Xia family, needless to say, has a 700-year family history. Apart from the modern era, each of the other generations has produced people of exceptional talent and brilliance.
The same applies to the Jin family; this is where the difference in their background lies.
The incredibly precious black insect circled around once before flying back to Luo Yun Dao Ren's ear, and Luo Yun Dao Ren's expression instantly softened.
