The Value of Merit Points
An Eight-Realm Martial Saint frowned and said, "A spot in the Core Area of the Ancient Secret Realm? I heard that there are countless Heaven and Earth Power and all kinds of rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures there. 100 merit points can be exchanged for several Heaven and Earth Power. Is it unnecessary for us to go through the trouble of exchanging for it? What if we don't get anything after exchanging for it!"
"That's true. To be honest, only after entering the eighth realm did I realize how difficult the ninth realm is. How difficult it is to comprehend a Great Completion level Domain..."
Lin Yi realized that none of the Eight-Realm Martial Saint present knew anything about Profound Yellow Qi. If they knew the value of Profound Yellow Qi, they would probably fight tooth and nail for a spot in the Secret Realm Slot.
Lin Yi glanced again at the merit points awarded to him by the people of Martial Saint City and his colleagues in Tongguan Prefecture.
A full 1,200 points, which is more than ten times that of an ordinary Eight-Realm Martial Saint.
To be honest, these merit points seem few and not enough to match Lin Yi's performance in turning the tide of battle.
If you checked the treasures that merit points could be exchanged for, you would know that Lin Yi had made a huge profit.
To avoid disappointing everyone, the Ancestral Saint revealed tens of thousands of years of treasures from the Martial Saint City's Treasure Vault, allowing everyone to exchange them based on their merit points.
Among them, an ordinary Third-Rate Heaven and Earth Power is only five points.
A second-rate amount of Heaven and Earth Power is much more precious, costing about forty or fifty points to exchange for one.
The remaining purple and gold quality materials, with 100 merit points, can be exchanged for a large bag.
Lin Yi had over a thousand merit points, far ahead of everyone else. Zi Shanshui was second with only one hundred and twenty merit points.
Lin Yi took the merit exchange form that Grand Saint Granny had taken out and flipped through it from top to bottom.
Demigod Artifact Nine-Dragon Nine-Phoenix Chariot - 1000 merit points.
Opportunity to comprehend the Qiankun Domain root diagram - 900 Merit Points
Demigod Artifact Annihilation Spear - 800 merit points (The Artifact Spirit is dormant and will not awaken unless it encounters a compatible master).
Twelve opportunities to comprehend the Domain root diagram – 100 points
There were hundreds of options available for redemption, but few of them appealed to Lin Yi.
Thanks to the favor of the Grand Saint Granny, he had already comprehended the Domain root diagram back channels.
As for the two Demigod Artifact ranked first, one is Yu Shi Hu Shao's means of transportation, and the other is Demigod Artifact that can only be controlled by comprehending the 'Destruction' Domain.
For Lin Yi, there was no need to exchange for it.
Finally, Lin Yi glanced at the bottom.
100,000 Source Stone - 1 Merit Point.
Not bad, the exchange rate for merit points to Source Stone is quite high. If there are no treasures to exchange for in the end, Lin Yi might exchange his merit points for Source Stone.
Compared to Lin Yi's high standards, the exchange list that Grand Saint Granny took out made many Eight-Realm Martial Saint and even seventh realm Martial Saint' hearts flutter.
Perhaps fearing that the Spiritual Object were limited, they rushed to exchange them.
At this moment, Grand Saint Granny spoke up, "Merit points are more valuable than you think. If you're not in a hurry, perhaps you can wait!"
The Eight-Realm Martial Saint were puzzled, but Lin Yi seemed to be deep in thought.
Just now, a message left by Wu Shi also came from the Spiritual Treasure Jade Token, telling them to save their merit points.
As evening fell, several powerful auras swept across the remote Second Tong Pass, startling many Martial Saint in the Inner City, who looked up in surprise.
"This is... Ninth Realm Martial Saint?"
"Good heavens, why have all the Nine-Realm Ancestor from Martial Saint City arrived? Could it be that they're here to resist the Monster? The Monster have already been defeated!!"
"Hmph, these old fogies are like cats smelling fish when they see benefits; clearly, there's something here that attracts them!"
At this time, Lin Yi was extracting talent within the Spirit Vine World and was unaware of the situation outside.
At the highest point of the Central Mountain Peak in the Spirit Vine World, the Wishing Incense Altar in front of Lin Yi collapsed and was damaged once again.
Watching tens of thousands of Source Stone vanish into thin air in a short time, Lin Yi's expression grew increasingly impatient.
Just now, he specifically requested the Red Talent "Auspicious Evasion" to be drawn.
Logically, this non-random, fixed talent selection should increase the probability of obtaining a talent.
Unexpectedly, after he made his wish, the Incense Altar absorbed thousands of Source Stone before it began to exert its power. In the end, not only did he fail to obtain the "Auspicious Evasion and Seek Good Fortune" talent, but the Incense Altar also shattered instantly.
Therefore, Lin Yi had no choice but to use a large amount of Source Stone to repair the Incense Altar.
Considering that the talent of "seeking good Auspicious Evasion" is of the category of luck, Lin Yi actually had a few guesses.
Since he solidified his talent of "Burning Incense and Making a Wish wishes", he has never drawn any talents of good luck or fortune.
Even Lin Yi's wish to draw a few minor talents that increase luck value couldn't be fulfilled by "Burning Incense and Making a Wish and making a wish".
Xu Tian. After he solidified the talent of "Burning Incense and Making a Wish", it became incompatible with certain talents of good luck.
Lin Yi didn't care before, after all, the [Burning Incense and Making a Wish] talent was extremely useful to him. In addition to making wishes that allowed people to comprehend external skills, as long as he spent Source Stone, he could randomly draw talents below red level.
This allows Lin Yi to freely combine his talents for cultivation or to fight enemies.
Now, [Burning Incense and Making a Wish] can no longer anchor to Red Talent, and it also consumes a large amount of Lin Yi's Source Stone, reducing Lin Yi's patience to 0.
This Purple Talent needs to be replaced!
He needs a way to reliably draw Red Talent- quality talents.
Even if it costs a lot of Source Stone, I will not hesitate.
Unlike now, not only have I lost Source Stone, but I haven't even drawn any talents.
This is blatant fraud!
It absolutely must be replaced!
Before making the change, Lin Yi needs to adjust the existing Talent Slot and revert some indispensable talents back to their original state...
On the Second Tong Pass, it was a rare sight to see all the Ninth Realm Martial Saint from various schools appear together, vying for Merit Points.
Qian Poqiong, dressed in a long black robe, said in a low voice, "Brother Qiu, we were once close friends and acquaintances. Why don't you sell me your Mi Merit Points? I know you also plan to pursue the ' Three Talents ' Domain. My Qian Family has a portion of the Heaven and Earth Power that is suitable for you..."
The Zhen Family's Nine-Realm Ancestor, Zhen Changsheng, also appeared. He stopped an eighth-realm Rogue Cultivators Martial Saint and demanded Merit Points in a tone that was half threatening and half negotiating.
When Lin Yi returned, he learned that the Zun Sheng and the Mansion Master had stripped each family of their quota for the Ancient Secret Realm in order to punish the patriarchs for not contributing.
Each of the Ninth Realm Martial Saint ancestors must exchange Merit Points to obtain a spot in the Ancient Secret Realm realm.
You need at least one week's worth of merit points to qualify for the competition.
As Lin Yi stepped into the hall, all the Nine-Realm Ancestor inside sensed his presence. One of them, a bald old man with a red beard, stepped forward and said with a hearty laugh, "Deputy Prefect Qin, I've long admired your name!"
"Could you perhaps be the patriarch of the Li Family...?"
"What ancestor or not? My name is Bu Hui Li, you can call me Brother Bu Hui!"
Among the crowd of Garrison Commander of Tongguan Prefecture, Li Huo Li couldn't help but shake his head. His ancestor recognized Deputy Prefect Qin as a brother, so what was he? He wasn't even qualified to be a grandson.
"Brother Bu Hui, did you come here because of Merit Points?"
"Brother Qin guessed right. Look at this room full of old guys, isn't every single one of them here for the sake of the Merit Points?"
Lin Yi glanced at the many Nine-Realm Ancestor present, and even exchanged a glance with Qian Poqiong, with whom he didn't have a good relationship.
To be honest, a month ago, Lin Yi wouldn't have even had the courage to defy these ancestors and look them in the eye.
But now, he has already killed three of the Envoy-level Demon God with a flick of his wrist, so these Nine-Realm Ancestor' threats to him are nothing.
Lin Yi nodded and said, "I understand your purpose in coming here. However, apart from me, all those who fought for the Ancient Domain in resisting the attack of the Monster have received merit. You may trade with them first, but you cannot force them."
Some of the seventh and Eight-Realm Martial Saint who had just been coerced into making deals Merit Points the Nine-Realm Ancestor were immediately grateful upon hearing this and looked at Lin Yi with gratitude.
It was Deputy Prefect Qin who had the courage to speak up for them in front of all the Nine-Realm Ancestor.
However, Lin Yi's words still displeased the Nine-Realm Ancestor.
The Zhen Family's patriarch, Zhen Changsheng, sneered, "Qin Jian, you are merely an Eight-Realm Martial Saint. Even if you control the Twelve Tong Passes treasures and possess combat power comparable to a ninth-realm Martial Saint, you are still a junior. How dare you order us around!"
Lin Yi smiled, and with a flick of his hand, twelve miniature Tongguan Treasure floated in his palm like glowing bracelets, spinning around.
"I haven't returned the Tongguan Treasure yet. If you'd like to give it a try, I can clear out a space for you inside and find a companion for Envoy-level Demon God."
"Your words are sharp, but I wonder what your true abilities are?"
Zhen Changsheng didn't back down either, his body crackling with lightning and his eyes sharp.
As Nine-Realm Ancestor, each of them present was a former peerless genius who had suppressed the current generation.
Even though the people from the Second Tong Pass exaggerated Lin Yi Yi's performance to the extreme, in Martial Artist, no one knows who is stronger without a fight.
Moreover, he was confident that he could kill Lin Yi before Lin Yi could unleash the Tongguan Treasure.
"Enough! Do you think I'm not here?"
At this moment, Grand Saint Granny stepped forward, coldly surveying the numerous Ninth Realm Martial Saint, and said, "Just yesterday, I sought you all out, but was turned away at every door. How dare you come to the Second Tong Pass now?"
The Supreme Tai Shang Lingyun Nine-Realm Ancestor of the Tai Shang Family, smiled and said, "Ancestral Saint, we are currently in a critical period of seclusion and cannot leave at will. Besides, hasn't the demonic threat been quelled?"
The Ancestral Saint was even more furious.
"So you think that once things are pacified, it has nothing to do with you? Do you know how many people died at the Second Tong Pass to defend against the Monster? In my opinion, the current Tai Shang Family is not even one-third the size of your ancestor. If that ancestor had a spirit back then, he would probably rather shoot him on the wall than leave behind cunning and treacherous people like you."
Hearing this vulgar insult, many people present laughed.
Even Lin Yi smiled slightly, surprised that this Grand Saint Granny was quite skilled at cursing.
Tai Shang Lingyun's smile gradually faded, and his expression turned cold as he said, "Ancestral Saint, some things have gone too far!"
"Even if I don't say it, the people of the Ancient Domain will discuss where the Tai Shang Family, which once took it upon itself to slay demons, has gone."
As she spoke, Grand Saint Granny continued, "Other martial arts families can't refuse, but your Tai Shang Family is Tai Shang Lingyun. Since you became the Tai Shang Family Ancestor, all the disciples you've taught are greedy and cowardly. The reputation of the Tai Shang Family has plummeted. Let me tell you, the Ancient Domain doesn't lack high-ranking martial arts families, it only lacks those who have the Ancient Domain in their hearts and use the power of martial arts to protect the weak and vulnerable among us Martial Artist artists!"
As the Grand Saint Granny reprimanded him, Tai Shang Lingyun gradually became indifferent, and finally spoke lightly, "The Ancestral Saint's reprimand is correct, it is all my fault, Tai Shang Lingyun Yun."
Seeing Tai Shang Lingyun's weak and feeble reply, Ancestral Saint snorted coldly and said no more.
She could tell that this Tai Shang Lingyun didn't take her seriously at all.
Lin Yi, standing to the side, labeled this Tai Shang Family Ancestor as shameless and gloomy.
His relationship with the Tai Shang Family has always been poor, and they will likely clash in the future, so he needs to be especially careful with the Tai Shang Lingyun.
