When the Evergreen Sect's disciples heard their sect master's words, every one of them grew tremendously excited and headed to the External Affairs Hall to check the contribution points required to exchange for Qi Condensation Pills and Foundation Establishment Pills.
When they saw how many contribution points the pills required, they were all overjoyed.
On the exchange list posted by the External Affairs Hall, a high-grade Qi Condensation Pill cost only one hundred contribution points, while a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill cost just five hundred.
Even servant disciples could earn one point a day by tending spirit fields and caring for spirit seeds. They needed only one hundred days to exchange for a Qi Condensation Pill, and less than two years to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill.
As for the outer disciples, their daily patrols of the sect earned them five points a day. With a few missions outside the sect as well, they could accumulate two thousand contribution points over a year.
Once again, they marveled at the sect's greatness, and many disciples began exchanging for Qi Condensation Pills.
For the newly admitted disciples, Foundation Establishment was still quite far away, but with Qi Condensation Pills, their cultivation speed would increase substantially.
Most newly admitted disciples only had enough contribution points for one Qi Condensation Pill, while most of those who had joined the Evergreen Sect during the first week could exchange for several.
However, they did not exchange for all of them in one go. They only took one or two first, thinking they might be able to save their contribution points to exchange for other pills in the future.
They also believed that since the sect had listed these Qi Condensation Pills and Foundation Establishment Pills for so few contribution points, its techniques for refining these two kinds of pills must already be mature.
Recalling the sect-wide voice transmission their sect master had just made, announcing Li Jishi as the Evergreen Sect's Alchemy Hall master, they only now realized that this senior brother, a direct disciple, primarily specialized in alchemy.
Although many disciples had never entered the Evergreen Sect's spirit herb garden, they had heard something about it from their fellow disciples: it contained countless spirit herbs and spirit plants of extremely high grades.
In the future, the sect would be able to provide all kinds of pills.
As the disciples exchanged for and consumed Qi Condensation Pills, fluctuations from breakthroughs among the sect's Qi Refining Realm disciples came one after another.
Li Jishi, the Evergreen Sect's Alchemy Hall master, looked at the fruits of her day's work with satisfaction.
Today, she had refined ten bottles of Qi Condensation Pills, three hundred pills in total, all of them high-grade or supreme-grade.
She had also refined five bottles of Foundation Establishment Pills, fifty pills in total, likewise all high-grade or supreme-grade.
While refining so many pills, she had also absorbed a great deal of spiritual resonance from the alchemy process.
Originally only at the Qi Refining Second Layer, she had broken through to the Qi Refining Third Layer after just a single day of refining pills.
Such a cultivation speed was terrifying indeed.
At the same time, Li Jishi felt a little pride in what she had accomplished today.
Only now did she feel that she had truly shouldered the responsibilities of being a direct disciple of the Evergreen Sect.
The Evergreen Sect's Artifact Hall.
In contrast to how effortlessly Li Jishi refined pills, Tie Dali was in a very bad mood.
He looked at the high-grade magical artifact he had just refined before him, a trace of worry on his face.
Ever since the Evergreen Sect's Artifact Hall had been established, he had spent one or two months there every year, refining all kinds of magical artifacts.
Yet so far, the highest quality he had produced was merely supreme-grade magical artifacts. He had never successfully refined even a single low-grade spiritual artifact.
Just now, he had thought he was about to refine the first low-grade spiritual artifact of his life, but at the final, crucial moment, he had failed to inscribe the spiritual patterns into it, and its grade had fallen to that of a high-grade magical artifact.
Even so, over the years, Tie Dali had still refined some three hundred magical artifacts, covering everything from low-grade to supreme-grade.
Most of the materials for refining magical artifacts came from the trading house or were collected by disciples on trips outside the sect.
In the Evergreen Sect now, supply could be said to exceed demand for both magical artifacts and pills.
Almost every Evergreen Sect disciple who had joined during the first week already had a magical artifact, either obtained through contribution points or awarded by the sect.
A small portion of the disciples who had joined later had also exchanged for a magical artifact that suited them.
The surplus magical artifacts Tie Dali had refined were all piled up in the Artifact Hall, and Lin Feng had yet to do anything with them.
But with the Alchemy Hall officially entering operation, along with Li Jishi's terrifying pill output, Lin Feng decided it was time to sell a batch of magical artifacts and pills to Sect World 999.
Not for spirit stones, but solely to improve Sect World 999's overall strength.
Then Lin Feng sent a message in Sect World 999's chat channel.
[Evergreen Sect Master Tiancan Tudou: Greetings, fellow sect masters. To further improve the overall strength of our Sect World 999,
the Evergreen Sect will hold an online auction tomorrow, primarily auctioning low-, mid-, high-, and supreme-grade magical artifacts, as well as some high-grade and supreme-grade Qi Condensation Pills.
There will also be ten high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills as the auction's finale. Quality goods at fair prices, with no cheating of young or old. Interested sects, please spread the word, prepare your spirit stones, and attend on time tomorrow.]
The moment Lin Feng made this announcement, Sect World instantly boiled over.
After all, although the trading house had unlocked permission to sell a certain number of magical artifacts and some pills when the Evergreen Sect advanced to a Foundation Establishment Sect, its stock was limited.
The number of magical artifacts and pills the Sect World trading house supplied each day was extremely limited.
Against such a vast Sect World, that tiny allotment was nothing but a cup of water against a blazing cartload of firewood.
Even among the top hundred sects, many had yet to snatch up a single magical artifact, let alone those even rarer pills.
Yet today, the Evergreen Sect was actually going to auction magical artifacts of various grades, along with high-grade and even supreme-grade Qi Condensation Pills.
Even more shocking was that the Evergreen Sect was willing to put up ten high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills as the auction's finale.
Quite a few sects thought the Evergreen Sect had gone mad.
Others felt that the Evergreen Sect truly deserved its place as the number one sect in Sect World 999.
For the shared development of the entire Sect World, it was even bringing out its own reserves for auction. Such fine character was something the other sects in the top ten ought to learn from.
Not knowing how many magical artifacts and Qi Condensation Pills the Evergreen Sect would offer at this online auction, all the sects began taking stock of their assets.
Besides spirit stones, they also tallied up their spirit herbs, spirit plants, artifact-refining materials, and various other items.
Some sects were determined to win several magical artifacts, while others were determined to secure a few high-grade or even supreme-grade Qi Condensation Pills.
The top ten sects, however, all shared the same goal: they were determined to win a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
After all, under this week's hundredfold time acceleration, their sects' most talented disciples already had a chance of touching the threshold of Foundation Establishment.
With the additional support of a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill now, their sects might also be able to advance to Foundation Establishment Sects within the week.
Watching the bustling chat channel, Lin Feng's lips curved into a smile.
