As Jiang Ping stepped into the hall, the scene before him changed rapidly, suddenly becoming incredibly vast and dazzling.
Only then did he realize that this seemed to be a secret realm, a resource secret realm of the Qingling Palace.
Ahead, the Mountains and Rivers are magnificent, purple qi clouds gather, spiritual energy transforms into rain, and Divine Medicine grow from herbs.
At this moment, Jiang Ping gained a profound understanding of the profound heritage of the Supreme Dao System. Many of the flowers and plants that no one paid attention to by the roadside were actually Divine Medicine, all kinds of Primordial Spirit Medicine.
Jiang Ping clicked his tongue in amazement. The soil here must be incredibly fertile; even the roadside plants are like Divine Medicine.
Deep in the Mountains and Rivers, plants with Dao Pattern swaying in the breeze were particularly eye-catching; many of them were ones he had never seen before.
Many years ago, he fought with a group of Dao Seed for the Fire-type Dao Tree, and there is one here as well.
He then saw a young azure Azure Dragon taking a nap under a tree covered with regularly Rules water features.
Tea trees cover the mountains and plains, and martial arts masters have become tea farmers here, picking tea. Listening to their conversation, it seems to be Insight Tea, which can increase one's enlightenment in a short period of time.
At this moment, the aroma of herbs and tea, mixed with spiritual energy, wafted towards Jiang Ping, making him feel much more peaceful and serene.
"Here!"
At this moment, a Martial Artist beckoned to Jiang Ping and led him to a nearby palace.
The Martial Artist was somewhat aloof and didn't say much. He simply tossed him a booklet and then sat down to attend to his own business.
Jiang Ping didn't bother with any more words and simply opened the booklet.
It turns out that this is a detailed manual recording all the exchangeable resources within the Qingling Palace.
The text was densely packed with all sorts of information, including various Heavenly Art techniques, rare elixirs to enhance one's talents, and many powerful weapons.
"Heaven Origin Sword!"
Jiang Ping immediately noticed the information about the sword named "Tianyuan":
"The Heaven Origin Sword, True Saint Artifact, was forged by the deceased Heaven Origin Sword Saint. It embodies the three Order Water Fire Wind, and is imbued with a supreme Sword Art... Exchange requires 30,000 contribution points."
"Thirty thousand contribution points can be exchanged for a True Saint Artifact, which isn't too expensive!"
Jiang Ping murmured.
With 30,000 contribution points, based on the treatment of Guest Elder, it would take 300 years to accumulate enough to acquire a supreme weapon.
That sounds good, but for a prodigy like him, the most important thing is not contribution points, but time for cultivation.
Three hundred years—which extraordinary talent could possibly have the patience to retain all those contribution points without spending them, all for a single True Saint Artifact?
"Three hundred years from now, I myself will be able to reach that point."
Jiang Ping shook his head, scrolled down, and found a lot of information on True Saint Artifact. The lowest value artifacts cost 30,000 contribution points, while powerful artifacts cost 60,000 to 70,000.
"It's not worth it. For us Martial Artist, the most important thing is strength, which means breaking through to the next level in our prime."
Jiang Ping thought to himself.
As far as he knew, Qingling Palace also had other ways to earn contribution points, but he certainly wouldn't be willing to spend 30,000 contribution points on a True Sacred Artifact.
After all, being Guest Elder is risky; people can die!
Take the last Demon Purge that the Heavenly Maiden participated in, for example. One of her True Disciple was injured, and two Guest Elder died. Rumor has it that even a certain True Saint of Qingling was injured and needs to recuperate for a hundred years.
Therefore, whether it's him or the other Guest Elder, they would probably spend their contribution points as soon as they get them to quickly improve their strength.
There's no need to obsess over obtaining a True Saint Artifact.
However, Jiang Ping still saw an object that captivated him: a sword.
"Incompleteness Supreme Artifact!"
Without a doubt, this is Dao Monarch's sword, and even in its Incompleteness, its power far surpasses that of a true sacred artifact.
However, this sword did not have a price listed.
Jiang Ping asked the Martial Artist next to him and learned that only the Qingling True Saint was qualified to exchange for this weapon.
He shrugged, turned the page, and saw another item, seemingly an Incompleteness of Mountain and River Diagram, but worth five million contribution points. This greatly shocked him. Could this also be Supreme Artifact?
However, there was no further information provided, and Jiang Ping's inquiries with the Martial Artist yielded no results.
"Forget it, this isn't something I can dream about right now."
Jiang Ping shook his head and continued flipping through the pages, which contained everything from cultivation techniques to rare items.
[<The Great Destiny Art> - 100,000 contribution points. Requires first exchanging for <The Art of Fate Logic> for cultivation. Within a hundred years, mastering the Art of Destiny's control over Order will be considered a sign of talent for cultivating <The Great Destiny Art>. Choose carefully.]
[The Chaos Fist technique requires 50,000 contribution points to exchange. It's part of the Path of Ten Thousand Laws and has a high cultivation difficulty; exchanging for it is not recommended.]
[Blood Emperor Medicine, can enhance innate talent and increase potential, requires 10,000 contribution points to exchange.]
[The Ancestor Dragon Heart Blood, one drop for every 100,000 contribution points, can grant the physical body Undying characteristic, elevate its physical limits, and significantly increase talent in dragon cultivation—only ten drops remain, redeemable only by those of True Disciple rank or higher.]
"..."
Jiang Ping carefully perused the document. Although he had very few contribution points and couldn't afford to exchange most of the resources, he still gained a lot of knowledge.
He had to admit that, as the Supreme Dao System, the Qingling Palace indeed possessed profound resources, and these were the resources that could be openly verified.
Jiang Ping didn't believe that Qingling Palace would keep all its resources hidden in a single booklet; there must be some more precious items known only to a few core members of Qingling.
This indirectly proves that he made the right choice; joining such Dao system has far more advantages than disadvantages.
[A drop of True Saint Grade Azure Dragon Heart Blood, worth one thousand contribution points.]
Jiang Ping saw the resources he was refining in the register, which moved him deeply. The Dragon Blood that the Heavenly Maiden had given him was worth five thousand contribution points.
"Thanks to the Heavenly Maiden, otherwise, I don't know when I would have been able to complete the second stage of the Foundation Establishment Chapter."
He sighed, "When I first arrived at the Qingling Palace, I was still too poor. Fortunately, Zhong Shenxiu helped me out."
Then, he saw the blood of the Divine Tiger needed for the second forging of the Tiger Aspect.
[A drop of True Saint Grade Heavenly Tiger Heart Blood, worth 500 contribution points.]
"Five hundred contribution points..."
Jiang Ping raised an eyebrow. The resources he needed were more expensive than he had imagined; he currently only had enough to exchange for two drops of tiger blood.
It's definitely not enough to complete the second trial.
You can earn contribution points by completing tasks.
Jiang Ping also knew that the 100 contribution points provided each year were simply not enough; time was money, and he couldn't just wait around.
The only way to quickly acquire contribution points to exchange for resources is to accept various tasks assigned by the Qingling Palace.
For example, Heavenly Maiden taking a genius Qingling to Demon Purge for training is one type of mission.
According to Lin Zhizhen, the Heavenly Maiden earned nearly 10,000 contribution points during this Demon Purge.
"But!"
Jiang Ping thought of Zhou Taohong, who had been ambushed, and frowned slightly.
He's really made a name for himself at the Qingling Palace this time, overpowering a True Disciple; his reputation is sure to spread.
At that time, Master Ning Tianhe will surely know that he is in the Qingling Palace.
Although he can live peacefully in the Supreme City, he would most likely be attacked and killed by that True Saint if he were sent out on a mission.
"A true saint is not someone I can stop at the moment."
Jiang Ping frowned deeply, a sense of urgency lingering in his eyes.
