After Hu Xishan's explanation, Chen Lin finally understood Danding City's points system.
To put it bluntly, the Danding Sect had established this system to gather heaven and earth treasures.
As long as you sold heaven and earth treasures to the Danding Sect, you would receive points. These points were an extra bonus; you would still receive the full payment in spirit stones for your goods.
The ratio of value to points was ten to one, and one point could offset one day's residence tax.
For example, selling a spiritual herb worth a hundred low-grade spirit stones would earn you ten points, enough to offset ten days of residence tax.
After hearing Hu Xishan's explanation, Chen Lin could only say that the Danding Sect really knew how to squeeze people.
With such a system, no one would pay the residence tax with spirit stones. That would make them a complete sucker. They might as well use their spirit stones to buy heaven and earth treasures elsewhere, then sell them here for points. All it took was a little legwork, with practically nothing lost.
Meanwhile, the sect could sit at home and collect vast quantities of heaven and earth treasures.
No, even then, people still had to pay the entrance fee.
