"ah?"

Seeing Ye Feng's questioning gaze, Li Chong took two steps closer.

"Actually, the secret realm is just a bit richer in spiritual energy. Once inside, you can't move around freely; you can only cultivate in one fixed place. Three days is equivalent to three months of practice."

Ye Feng quietly looked at Li Chong, waiting for him to continue.

"If Junior Brother Ye were to transfer the token... that would be a huge sum of money! The cultivation resources he could buy would be far more cost-effective than entering the secret realm for cultivation once!"

Is this okay?

Ye Feng's eyes lit up. It wasn't that he was greedy for money and resources, but rather that if he could obtain a large amount of trading points, that would be much more worthwhile.

Seeing Ye Feng's expression, Li Chong's spirits lifted even further.

"What do you think, junior brother? If you're interested, I can help you make some connections."

Ye Feng said with a somewhat embarrassed expression,

"This is a sect reward, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, the sect's secret realm only recognizes tokens, so no one will blame you."

Hearing this, Ye Feng nodded in relief.

"I wonder how much it can sell for?"

"Hey... how can you say it's a sale? This is a transfer, Junior Brother Ye is voluntarily transferring it!"

Seeing that the matter was settled, Li Chong's face beamed with joy. However, he couldn't very well say he was selling the sect's belongings.

It's important to know that sect secret realms are also obtained through points redemption, and these points cannot be traded.

If we were to sell it, and someone caught us doing something wrong... that would be terrible.

To everyone's surprise, Ye Feng's expression changed instantly upon hearing the word "transfer," and he said firmly,

"It's for sale, clearly priced, and it's a mutual agreement. Transferring it is out of the question!"

"Hey...you..."

Li Chong glanced around and said in a low voice.

"You can't sell this..."

Ye Feng wasn't entirely sure about the system's mechanics and didn't want to argue with it.

Just tell me how much you'd like to buy it for?

"Junior brother, what do you think of this number?"

Li Chong held out his palm and compared them.

"fifty thousand?"

"....."

Li Chong shook his head stiffly.

"Junior brother is joking, five thousand spirit stones."

Five thousand?

Ye Feng pondered for a moment. He didn't know the value of this token either, as it wasn't on the outer sect disciples' exchange list.

However, considering the overall ranking rewards, there should be a little more to go. Selling it for 10,000 shouldn't be a problem, right?

"Five thousand is too little. The sect rewards me with eight thousand..."

"What does Junior Brother mean?"

"forty thousand?"

Ye Feng tried saying a number.

Li Chong's face darkened. It wasn't that it wasn't worth the price, but it was already close to the limit.

Within the inner sect, a three-day secret realm token is worth 100,000 points.

One hundred thousand points is equivalent to contributing one hundred thousand spirit stones.

The reward for refining inexpensive and commonly used pills like Qi Refining Pills is only 0.5.

Of course, if you submit more than the limit, you will receive 1 contribution point for each pill.

"Junior brother, forty thousand is impossible. How about ten thousand spirit stones? Even that number isn't something an ordinary person can come up with. I'm sure you can guess why..."

Li Chong pointed upwards with his finger.

This has a somewhat threatening connotation.

Ye Feng was furious. So what if they gave me the cultivation manual? I'll break through to the Golden Core stage in no time and show them!

"Twenty-five thousand? Take it or leave it!"

After saying that, Ye Feng turned and left. This was inside the sect, and not only Li Chong, but even a Foundation Establishment elder wouldn't dare to make a move easily. Since he hadn't done anything wrong, Ye Feng wasn't afraid of anyone.

"Deal! I'll bring the spirit stones tomorrow."

Li Chong hurriedly said, "Twenty-five thousand is enough to complete the mission."

Although three days of cultivation was insignificant to Ye Feng, for someone with exceptional talent, it represented a difference of several levels.

The sooner you reach the late stage of Qi Refining, the higher your chances of breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

If it weren't a problem with spirit stones, even 50,000 spirit stones would be worth it.

Ye Feng was secretly delighted, but nodded calmly.

Only after Li Chong left and he returned to his cave did he finally smile.

Twenty-five thousand! My goodness... How am I supposed to use so many trading points?

"Host: Ye Feng, Transaction Points (20), Total Number of Full-Amount Transactions (1)"

Realm: Qi Refining Level 4 (Next Level 80), Body Refining Level 2 (Next Level 200).

Spiritual Roots: Metal 50, Wood 50, Water 50, Fire 50 (51-60, 10 trading points per point)

Cultivation Technique: Azure Cloud Qi Refining Technique (Levels 1-7)

Spells: Fireball (Mastery, next level 1600), Waterball (Mastery, next level 1600)

Decomposition Technique (Mastery, next level 3200)

Status: 100/100

There are also 7943 spirit stones (one mid-grade, one low-grade), one magic sword, one storage bag, one storage belt, and one spirit-gathering jade plate.

If you don't trade the storage bags and low-grade magical artifacts directly, you definitely won't be able to sell them for more than the original price and earn enough trading points.

However, mid-grade magic swords and storage belts can be sold directly, and you need to calculate the profit from what you get in the competition!

The system rewards for the competition have been distributed (but not yet claimed). Full-amount transactions, which occur every three days, can now be stored.

In the future, we can wait until there are high-value items to trade with others.

Fortunately, selling tokens doesn't require a full transaction; otherwise, there would be a 1000 transaction point limit.

There is no upper limit to the profits obtained from direct transactions...

After tomorrow's transactions, I'll have over 20,000 trading points. Even if the fees for upgrading spiritual roots increase, I can still level up several notches.

At that time, your spell proficiency will also continue to improve.

I wonder what level one will reach after mastering the art of decomposition...

Ye Feng packed his things and prepared to head to the market.

I'll apply to return to work after the transaction tomorrow; I need to buy some things for Afu to take with him.

The most suitable one is the Longevity Pill; it can add ten years to the lifespan of ordinary people.

It has absolutely no effect on cultivators.

Upon reaching the Qi Refining stage, one is free from illness and disaster, and their lifespan is generally around one hundred and twenty years.

While ordinary people could theoretically live that long, in reality, living to seventy is considered a very old age.

The Longevity Pill can only increase one's lifespan to a maximum of around 110.

One spirit stone for 1000.

As for pills that cultivators could take to increase their lifespan, the original owner had never even heard of them...

Before Ye Feng could even leave, the outer gate's protective array activated again.

Normally, you can't hear anything outside from inside.

This is also to prevent disciples from being disturbed during their cultivation, which could lead to situations like qi deviation or demonic possession.

When the warning array lights up, it's like a doorbell.

Unless one is an elder, deacon, or a disciple enforcing the law, no one else is allowed to forcibly enter another person's cave.

Ye Feng went outside and saw...

Isn't this the guy who did the assessment?

What are you planning to do now?
