Jiang Ping pondered.
He certainly wasn't willing to take on missions just to complete the second refinement of Foundation Establishment.
At least for now, he didn't want to go out.
He could take his time cultivating the Human Emperor Scripture, but he only had one life. When caution was called for, he had to be cautious.
After some thought, he drew the female guard aside and asked:
"May I ask, does Qingling Palace accept resources from outsiders?"
The guard answered expressionlessly:
"Yes, but you can only exchange them for contribution points."
Jiang Ping nodded, then asked, "How much can I get for one Dao Leaf?"
"What kind of Dao Leaf?"
"Fire-type."
The guard answered at once, "One Fire-type Dao Leaf can be exchanged for two hundred contribution points."
"Two hundred..."
Jiang Ping murmured softly, betraying no emotion.
A Dao Leaf, a resource that was exceedingly precious in North Nether, was worth only two hundred contribution points in Qingling Palace.
Still, considering how vast and rich in resources this place was, he could just about accept it.
Jiang Ping pondered for a moment, then asked:
"What about a Dao Fruit?"
"What kind of fruit?"
"A Fire-type Dao Fruit."
The guard answered coolly once more, "Five thousand contribution points."
"What about a Dao Tree, then?"
The guard: "..."
She looked at Jiang Ping, unable to conceal the look of surprise in her eyes.
What was the background of this newly arrived Guest Elder?
A resource like that was exceedingly rare even in Qingling Palace.
She said, "If it's a Fire-type Dao Tree that's intact and can be kept alive, one hundred thousand contribution points."
"Only a hundred thousand?"
Jiang Ping murmured, less than satisfied with the price.
That was a Dao Tree! Keep it alive, and there would always be Dao Leaves
