Chu Feng made a long journey back to the sect and submitted his mission. He then put away the mission reward of 300 contribution points.
It was just that there were too few of them. This made Chu Feng somewhat unhappy!
The lowest level of the Spiritual Energy Tower costs 200 points per hour.
These 300 points would not even be enough for him to break through to the Tenth level of Qi Refinement.
However, doing missions was too time-consuming. Of course, the most important thing was that his current Dao Techniques hadn't been fully incorporated into his fighting style and ability.
Moreover, he was only at the Ninth level of Qi Refinement. It was very easy for him to fail a mission.
Especially when the missions outside had too much uncertainty!
At this point, Chu Feng had an idea.
Through introductions, Chu Feng found Guan Hongxuan.
At this moment, Guan Hongxuan was sitting leisurely on a stone bench and enjoying his tea.
There were also one or two women at the side massaging him, making him feel very comfortable.
Chu Feng's arrival stunned Guan Hongxuan.
Then, he dismissed the women beside him.
He asked, "Why does Junior Brother Chu have the time to come to Senior Brother? Could it be that you need something?"
Chu Feng nodded and didn't beat around the bush. "I need a large number of contribution points. What's the exchange rate for spirit stones here?"
Guan Hongxuan's interest was piqued.
"How many spirit stones do you have exactly?"
"Junior Brother, you don't know this, but spirit stone is considered a currency high in demand. They can restore one's Dharmic powers and save one's life at critical moments. Right now, a lot of people in the inner sect need spirit stones."
Chu Feng nodded and took out his spirit stone pouch.
There were originally 133 spirit stones inside, but he had used up one. Now, there were only 132 left.
Guan Hongxuan's eyes lit up when he saw the spirit stones Chu Feng had thrown over. He hastily opened the bag to check.
Upon smelling it, he immediately nodded. "They're indeed low-grade spirit stones, that's right."
After the inspection, Guan Hongxuan placed the bag on the table and said, "The exchange rate in the Exchange Pavilion is one to three. Since you have so many, I'll give you four points for a spirit stone. What do you think?"
Chu Feng nodded after hearing Guan Hongxuan's words.
Selling and purchasing in the Exchange Pavilion had two different prices.
In other words, even if Guan Hongxuan bought them from the Exchange Pavilion, he would need at least five points per spirit stone.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was buying or selling, it was best not to go through the Exchange Pavilion.
Chu Feng was rather satisfied with this number, so he nodded and said, "Let's trade."
Guan Hongxuan immediately took out his inner sect disciple token and said to Chu Feng, "There are 132 spirit stones in total which translates to a total of 528 contribution points."
Both parties had no disagreements. Hence, Guan Hongxuan used the token to send the contribution points over.
Looking at his inner sect disciple token, it didn't take long for his contribution points to arrive. Now, he had 828 contribution points.
It was still not enough!
Chu Feng estimated that he would need 2000 contribution points to advance to the Tenth level of Qi Refinement.
Hence, he took out the Qi Nourishing Pills, Spirit Nourishing Pills, and other elixirs that he had on him.
Chu Feng's items surprised Guan Hongxuan. He couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother, your wealth could be considered pretty high among the inner sect disciples. Do you want to exchange everything for contribution points?"
Chu Feng nodded.
Qi Nourishing Pills and Spirit Nourishing Pills were of no use to him anymore.
That little bit of spiritual energy was not even able to compare to staying in the Spiritual Energy Tower for a minute.
Since Chu Feng had made such a decision, Guan Hongxuan didn't say anything. After some calculations, he gave 650 contribution points to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng looked at his own token. Currently, he had 1478 contribution points and was still far from 2000!
However, he no longer had anything on him to exchange for. He could only go back and use his projection to see if he could drop some good items!
Therefore, he prepared to leave.
However, Guan Hongxuan seemed to have seen through Chu Feng's thoughts. "Junior Brother, do you need a large number of contribution points to enter the Spiritual Energy Tower?"
Chu Feng nodded.
He knew that this was not a secret. Almost most inner sect disciples would throw the majority of their contribution points into the Spiritual Energy Tower.
Then, he said, "It's a pity that I'm still lacking some. I can only do missions!"
Guan Hongxuan's eyes lit up when he heard Chu Feng's words. "Junior Brother, since you're in such a hurry, I have an idea."
"What idea?" Chu Feng asked.
"Junior brother, don't you have the Foundation Establishment Pill that you have received when you were promoted to become an inner sect disciple? That is a good thing, it can be sold for a good price." Guan Hongxuan said.
"Foundation Establishment Pill?" Chu Feng was stunned for a moment. Of course, he had it, but it was a medicinal pill that was meant for him when he was breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. He hadn't seen it in anyone else's projection so far, so he naturally couldn't bear to part with it.
"Junior Brother, as a lone cultivator, you might not know, but the Foundation Establishment Pill can't guarantee the increase of one's realm by 100%." Guan Hongxuan saw Chu Feng's concerns and explained, "Other than accumulation, one's spirit root is also the key to determining the effectiveness of the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Chu Feng nodded, indicating that Guan Hongxuan should continue.
After all, he had not been in this world for long.
In addition, he spent all his time focusing on increasing his own strength, so he had no time to understand these details.
Guan Hongxuan paused for a moment before continuing, "Junior Brother, your spirit root is an Intermediate Wind Spirit Root, right?"
Chu Feng frowned when he heard Guan Hongxuan mention his spirit root.
"Junior Brother, you don't have to be like this. The sect has records of everyone's spirit roots. As long as you have a status high enough, you will be able to obtain information. Of course, you have to know that your Senior Brother will definitely not harm you," Guan Hongxuan hurriedly explained.
Chu Feng was his big client, so he naturally couldn't offend him.
Thus, he said again, "With your spirit root, one Foundation Establishment Pill is far from enough. You will need at least seven or eight of them to have a chance of advancing. Furthermore, you will need at least a few years of accumulation. So if I were you, I would rather sell the Foundation Establishment Pill first and exchange it for contribution points to increase my strength. When I have enough strength, I can do missions that give more contribution points. Naturally, I can then buy the Foundation Establishment Pill back."
Chu Feng nodded after hearing this. This was indeed a solution.
Once his strength increased, he could defeat the projections at a faster rate.
This was a good deal.
Furthermore, the Tenth level of Qi Refinement was the final hurdle for cultivators.
Once it was achieved, the spiritual energy in the Qi Refinement cultivator's body would turn into liquid. By then, both the amount of spiritual energy and the power of their Dharma spells would be greatly enhanced.
Compared to the useless Foundation Establishment Pill in front of him, the former was clearly more useful.
Thinking of this, Chu Feng nodded and took out the Foundation Establishment Pill. "I wonder how much you can offer to buy it?"
Seeing Chu Feng take out the Foundation Building Pill, Guan Hongxuan's eyes lit up. He couldn't help but rub his hands and say, "For this Foundation Establishment Pill, Senior Brother is willing to buy it for 1500 contribution points."
"This price?" Chu Feng was stunned.
"1800 contribution points. This is Senior Brother's bottom line," Guan Hongxuan said quickly when he saw Chu Feng's expression changed.
Chu Feng nodded in agreement. This price had already exceeded his expectations.
