Ice Extreme Pass, Martial Arts Arena.
Morning sunlight spilled across the training grounds. The sounds of drills, shouted commands, and clashing fists and feet mingled as warriors trained in small groups. Some honed their strength; others sparred on the platforms. Sweat and steam rose in the morning light.
Then an excited shout burst from the crowd. "Look! The Logistics Department just posted a notice!"
"What is it?"
The warriors stopped training. Some gathered around the man who had shouted, while others opened their Smart Watches and pulled up the Logistics Department's notice.
Seconds later, the entire Martial Arts Arena erupted.
For the next two months, all members of Ice Extreme Pass who had not joined the Heaven Stele Secret Realm operation could exchange Military Merit Points for any pills in the Exchange Treasury at half price!
"What?!"
"Every pill at half price? For two whole months?"
"Am I reading this right? All of them?"
Cries of astonishment rang out. Everyone rubbed their eyes, afraid they had misread a word.
Every pill at half price, for two months!
What did that mean?
It meant their cultivation speed would at least double over the next two months!
Pills that normally cost a mountain of Military Merit Points were now within reach for half the price. It was a windfall dropped straight into their laps.
The Exchange Treasury at Ice Extreme Pass already kept its prices low. The Military Lord had deliberately lowered them for the sake of his troops.
Another fifty percent off was practically giving the pills away.
If other factions heard about this, they would be green with envy.
"Why would the Logistics Department suddenly do this?" one warrior asked.
"Isn't it obvious? The Military Lord's looking after those of us who didn't get into the Heaven Stele Secret Realm.
