The Merit Hall was a place in Tianshu Holy Land specifically used to exchange treasures and cultivation techniques.
The three missions Su Xiaobai had accepted had gone unclaimed for so long that their contribution points had swelled to roughly ten times those of ordinary missions. After completing them all in one go, he had nearly three hundred contribution points in hand.
However, things had not gone as smoothly as expected. Obtaining contribution points was not difficult for Su Xiaobai, but to exchange them for an Ancient Grade Weapon or an Ancient Grade cultivation technique, one had to reach the level of a Saint Son or Saintess—in other words, the Renowned level.
"I'm an Outer Sect Successor right now. I still need to advance to Inner Sect Successor, then True Person, and only after that can I reach the Renowned level. It seems pretty far away..."
In other words, this route was completely impractical for Su Xiaobai, as it would require a great deal of time to accumulate.
If he could survive the New Star War, his position would naturally rise with the tide. By then, he would receive far more contribution points for the same missions, achieving twice the result with half the effort.
That was also why so many people were willing to become the guards of Saint Sons and Saintesses. On one hand, it was to obtain abundant resources for self-improvement; on the other, it allowed them to quickly integrate into a Super Holy Land and step into higher positions.
