Exchanging for Treasures, the Geng Household's Gift of Thanks
Qinggeng Commandery City, County Government Office.
Five days had passed since the great battle within the "Myriad Trees Arrayed" formation. However, the entire Qinggeng Commandery was still in a state of celebration of victory.
Throughout the county town, cheers and celebrations were everywhere. The Geng Household "Qinggeng" held a grand banquet in the county town to entertain guests from all sides.
Meanwhile, the merits and achievements of the various cultivators who participated in the war were also settled in the past few days. The Geng Household notified the cultivators that they could come to the county government office to exchange their merits for the resources, spiritual items, pills, etc. they wanted.
The Kong Household's achievements were due to his slaying of most of the Third Tier enemies and a large number of First Tier and Second Tier enemies within the "Myriad Trees Arrayed" formation. The merits he made alone surpassed those of most "Eighth-Grade True Spirit" Lineage of the same rank.
Adding to the merits earned by other cultivators in the clan who participated in the battle, the total number of merits obtained by the Kong Household this time has even caught up with the bottom-ranked "Seventh-Grade True Spirit" Lineage Ya Household family.
Therefore, the Kong Household was able to exchange these merits for many valuable items from the Geng Household's treasury.
As for what to exchange for, Kong Wenxuan had already discussed it with his clansmen.
Because of their Bloodline Divine Ability abilities and medical skills, the Geng Household "Qinggeng" provides a treasure trove of exchanges, mainly containing various elixirs, Spirit Plant, and spiritual fruits.
In addition to the "Blood-Nourishing Pill" that he had chosen from the beginning to enhance and increase bloodline power, the materials that Kong Wenxuan chose to exchange also included spiritual plant seedlings cultivated in the thirteen counties of Qinggeng Commandery, such as "Red Pine", "Jade Magnolia", "Thunder Apricot Yin Locust", "Iron Fir", "Wind Willow Azure Mulberry", and "Green Spirit Plant".
He plans to transplant these "spiritual wood" seedlings to the Lineage's "Peacock Secret Realm" and Peacock County for cultivation and training. This will not only provide the Lineage with more kinds of spiritual fruits, but also provide more cultivation options for the Lineage's disciples who are refining the "Azure Wood Divine Sword" and "Azure Wood Talisman Slip".
Although it is said to be just a branch of the "Divine Wutong Tree" from countless generations ago, and even its properties have changed, it is unknown how much of the "Divine Wutong Tree's" wonders can still be retained.
Even so, the Geng Household "Qinggeng" guarded the "Azure Wutong" spirit wood tightly, not allowing it to leak out at all.
For example, in this great battle, the Geng Household's treasure vault, which was open to cultivators from various families to exchange merit points, did not contain any "Azure Wutong" spirit tree roots or seedlings, but only some "Azure Wutong" spirit fruits, which shows the extent of the problem.
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan could only reluctantly give up the "Azure Wutong" spirit wood seedling and exchange it for all thirteen kinds of "spiritual wood" seedlings cultivated in the thirteen counties.
In addition, he also exchanged for a batch of Third Tier- and Fourth Tier spirit wood and materials for the use of Third Tier- and Fourth Tier cultivators in the clan who would be refining the "Azure Wood Divine Sword" and "Azure Wood Talisman Slip".
After all, the Kong Household has only been prosperous for a short time, only fifty or sixty years. The family can cultivate enough First Tier- and Second Tier Five Elements spiritual materials for its members to refine "Five Elements Divine Swords" and "Five Elements Talisman Slips," but it still lacks Third Tier- and Fourth Tier Five Elements spiritual materials and needs to purchase them from outside.
What this "Qinggeng Commandery" has no shortage of are these Third Tier- and Fourth Tier wood-elemental spiritual materials.
Furthermore, the exchange list provided by the Geng Household even included Fifth Tier spirit wood and spirit fruit, but those required too much merit, making them beyond the reach of the Kong Household.
Finally, Kong Wenxuan used his remaining merits to exchange for some elixirs from the Geng Household's treasury. These elixirs were mainly for treating injuries, removing abnormal statuses, and restoring Law Power, which were the Geng Household's specialties and had the best effects. Naturally, he wouldn't miss this opportunity to exchange for them.
After all, for the Kong Household cultivators, increasing their Law Power mainly relies on refining the "Five Elements Divine Swords" or the "Five Elements Talisman Slips" to devour and refine the five elements spiritual materials, rather than relying on elixirs.
Therefore, the elixirs most needed by the disciples of the Kong Household, besides those that increase and cultivate the power of their bloodline, are naturally various elixirs for treating injuries, dispelling abnormal states, and restoring Law Power.
Kong Wenxuan had already prepared these exchange catalogs and submitted them to the Geng Household. Now that he has come to this "prefectural Lineage office," the Chencang Peacock Bloodline collect the resources, pills, and other items they wish to exchange.
The person who handled the exchange of these resources and pills for Kong Wenxuan was a female cultivator at the Third Tier the Purple Mansion Stage from the Geng Household. She worked in the household affairs department of the county government. She quickly prepared all the resources and pills he had exchanged and put them into a Storage Bag before handing them to him.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" Kong Wenxuan took the Storage Bag, checked that the exchanged resources and elixirs were correct, stood up to thank the other party, and prepared to leave.
"Wait, Fellow Daoist Kong." At this moment, the other party called out to him, took out another jade bottle and handed it over, smiling as he said, "Fellow Daoist Kong, this ' Heaven-Mending Pill ' is a gift specially prepared by our Geng Household for you, to thank you for your contributions in the ' Myriad Trees Arrayed ' formation battlefield."
"The Heaven-Mending Pill?" Kong Wenxuan's face immediately showed surprise upon hearing this.
This "Heaven-Mending Pill" is the very pill that Second Elder Kong Changlan needs to recover from his injuries and repair the cracks in his Dantian, qi sea, and Sea of Consciousness. On the market, one pill costs 20,000 high-grade Spirit Stone, while in the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty" merit treasury, it costs 10,000 merit points, both of which are currently a price that the Kong Household cannot afford.
The Kong Household originally planned to spend another twenty or thirty years slowly accumulating enough Spirit Stone or merits to buy or exchange for the "Heaven-Mending Pill" for the Second Elder to take and recover from his injuries.
In this way, after the Second Elder recovers from her injuries, she will still have more than a hundred years of lifespan left in the Foundation Establishment Realm, which is more than enough for her to continue cultivating and even break through to the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage.
Unexpectedly, before the Kong Household had accumulated enough Spirit Stone and merits, the Geng Household "Qinggeng" directly presented them with a "Heaven-Mending Pill" as a token of their gratitude!
The Geng Household said it was to thank him for his contributions within the "Myriad Trees Arrayed" formation. Kong Wenxuan knew that they were referring to his battle where he slew hundreds of third-tier enemies with his sword.
It can be said that he single-handedly killed most of the Third Tier- tier invading enemies, and his battle achievements far exceeded those of the other Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage cultivators.
Furthermore, his swift slaughter of most of the Third Tier enemies significantly impacted the overall battle within the "Myriad Trees Arrayed" formation.
Indeed, once the Geng Household "Qinggeng" trapped the invading enemies in the "Myriad Trees Arrayed" formation, they had essentially secured victory.
However, Kong Wenxuan's single-handedly slaying most of the Third Tier enemies greatly accelerated the victory and significantly reduced the number of casualties among the participating cultivators.
Although the "Myriad Trees Arrayed"Spirit Plant formation contained various spiritual lights that restored the injuries and Law Power of the cultivators, it had already reduced the chances of death and injury as much as possible.
However, the invading Demon Race, martial artists, and other groups, since they dared to invade the inner territory of the "True Spirit Realm" and launch an attack when they were at a disadvantage in terms of timing, location, and popular support, were naturally not to be underestimated. Among them were quite a few skilled individuals.
Therefore, even though one can use spiritual energy to heal injuries and remove abnormal statuses, injuries and deaths are still inevitable in battles and fights.
Even the Kong Household members who followed Kong Wenxuan to fight suffered more than a dozen casualties in that final battle; not to mention the cultivators from other families.
It can be said that if Kong Wenxuan had not slain most of the Third Tier enemies with his sword, and also killed tens of thousands of first-tier and Second Tier enemies, the battle would have lasted much longer, with more casualties on each side. In that case, the Geng Household would have had to spend a lot more Spirit Stone and resources to provide compensation for the dead and wounded.
Therefore, it's not surprising that the Geng Household sent a "Heaven-Mending Pill" as a token of their gratitude.
Of course, this must also include the Geng Household's optimism about him and the Kong Household, and their intention to invest in and win them over.
After all, Kong Wenxuan and the Kong Household members performed quite well and stood out in this great battle.
As for the fact that the Geng Household "Qinggeng" knew that the Kong Household needed this "Heaven-Mending Pill," it was even less surprising. The Second Elder Kong Changlan, still needed to regularly go to the "Qinggeng Medical Hall" opened by the Geng Household in "Bifang Commandery City" for check-ups and treatment.
Kong Wenxuan considered the matter, but ultimately did not refuse. He stepped forward to accept the jade bottle containing the "Heaven-Mending Pill" and bowed solemnly again, saying, "Thank you, fellow Daoist, and the Geng Household. Wenxuan and my Lineage will forever remember this kindness."
Seeing this, the female cultivator from the Geng Household's Purple Mansion knew that her goal had been achieved. She smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Fellow Daoist Kong, you're too kind. Let's keep in touch in the future."
