Elder Sun lay in his rocking chair, giving Chen Yu only a passing glance as he spoke. Coupled with his arrogant, slightly impatient manner, it left a sour taste.
Besides, a few days ago, he had refined Senior Brother Wu into Spirit Essence without warning or reason, even though Wu had completed his mission.
Chen Yu had no goodwill toward Elder Sun now.
He even felt some disgust.
He was about to speak when Elder Sun interrupted him again.
"Wait. If you're here for another loan, you can go straight back."
"You have a false spirit embryo, and you've already borrowed 300 Contribution Points from me. That's your limit. I won't lend you even one more point."
The number of Contribution Points a disciple could borrow was directly proportional to their talent.
The logic was that the greater their talent, the better the quality of the Spirit Essence ultimately refined from them, and thus the more Contribution Points they could borrow.
Even Spirit Essence of the same grade could differ in quality.
High-grade Spirit Essence refined from someone at the third layer of Qi Refining was nowhere near the same level as high-grade Spirit Essence refined from someone at the sixth layer of Qi Refining. However, high-quality Spirit Essence usually went directly to the Inner Sect, while the Outer Sect primarily used Contribution Points. The commonly mentioned exchange rate of 100 Contribution Points for one piece of Spirit Essence referred to low-grade Spirit Essence refined from those below the third layer of Qi Refining.
Elder Sun continued speaking.
"Besides, didn't you just receive 225 Contribution Points when you returned from the Netherdark Sea yesterday? Those points should last you quite a while, shouldn't they?"
His voice was neither loud nor soft as he spoke, just loud enough for everyone standing
