Chapter 525 Post-War 3

The distribution and verification of battle merit lists took a lot of time, but compared to the large number of people and forces involved, the speed was already very fast.

The logistics of the Lingxian Sect and the War God Hall are excellent, which is why they can achieve such efficiency.

Many cultivators were very satisfied.

Only then did Xiao Zinuo smile gently and proceed to the next step.

"Fellow practitioners, please take a look."

As he finished speaking, Lou Chuan raised his hand, holding several scrolls in his palm.

Then, he flicked his wrist.

All the scrolls were instantly shaken open and suspended in mid-air.

There are six scrolls in total, ranging from low to high levels, from level four to level nine.

As for the length...

Levels four and five are about the same, each several zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) high.

Levels six and seven are roughly the same, each about ten feet long.

The eighth level is already only three feet long.

The ninth level was further shortened to one foot.

Each unfolded scroll was densely covered with records of all sorts of rare and precious treasures.

Medicinal herbs, elixirs, mystical artifacts, talismans, and formations are just the most common items. Especially rarer elixirs, which come in all kinds—including the extremely rare ones, and even those that can prolong life!

That's quite a large sum of money.

There are many other rare and precious materials and various resources...

At first glance, it stirs the heart.

At that moment, many cultivators gasped in surprise.

"How generous!"

"Although the Lingxian Sect and the War God Hall said they would bring out good items, the quality of these items is just too good."

"As expected of a level nine power!"

"I want too much! It's just a pity that my battle achievements are somewhat insufficient, what a shame..."

"It is said that these battle merits cannot be exchanged for one another. If one has a large number of them, it is said that each battle merit can be exchanged for a spirit pearl..."

"It may sound heartless, but it is actually a gesture of goodwill from both sides. If it were really possible to exchange them, we, who are of little influence, might be coerced and bribed into not getting what we want."

"But even if we manage to acquire it, what if someone else tries to steal it? Wouldn't that be—"

"It is already very kind of both parties to consider our needs. Does your statement mean that we are still starving? Now we are exchanging for what we want and what is most suitable for us, which may not be suitable for others. This is also a kind of protection."

"That makes sense! I'll take a closer look and carefully examine it, so as not to waste this opportunity..."

"After fighting for so long, the outcome depends on this battle!"

For a moment, the cultivators fell silent, their eyes fixed on the scrolls, fearing that if they were too slow, someone else would take what they wanted. Many others thought that once they exchanged for resources, they could use them here immediately to avoid being coveted by others.

At this moment, even the disciples of the Spirit Immortal Sect and the War God Hall were somewhat excited—although they had seen a great many resources on the Pill Martial Sky Curtain, there were also a few that they had never heard of before—either precious treasures that were not easily opened to the public in the past, or newly acquired items that broadened their horizons.

To avoid finding that the canopy had already been redeemed by someone else when they returned, they decided to redeem it immediately if they wanted it, instead of waiting until later.

Their gazes, too, remained fixed on those scrolls.

·

Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan also glanced at the scroll.

In fact... it's not very appealing to them.

They have plenty of merit points; the only thing worth looking at is the level nine resources.

If there are things that can be inlaid on the ancient city and enhance its capabilities... then it's worth exchanging for.

If not, then they should focus on exchanging for some level nine medicinal herbs that they don't already have—or at least some level eight ones.

The couple exchanged a glance and confirmed each other's thoughts.

Wu Shaogan raised an eyebrow and smiled.

If you still don't have enough merit points after that, exchange them for high-grade mystic stones.

Zhong Cai was stunned.

[There's even this available for redemption?]

Wu Shaogan looked toward the end of the scroll containing level eight resources.

Zhong Cai glanced at it and, sure enough, it clearly stated the number of merit points required to exchange for high-grade Xuan Stones. His gaze moved downwards, and he even saw the exchange ratios for mid-grade and low-grade Xuan Stones and merit points on the level 7 and level 6 scrolls, respectively.

This is wonderful!

The two looked up and stared directly at the level nine resources at the top.

There were ten pieces in total, and the quality of all of them was not bad.

Only wealthy forces like the Lingxian Sect and the War God Palace could produce such high-grade treasures—of course, the main contributor was undoubtedly the incredibly wealthy Lingxian Sect.

Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan exchanged a smile.

They could afford to pay for every single achievement that was marked with a merit point.

Zhong Cai called out to the ancient city in her mind.

[Can you sense them? Are those treasures useful to you? Are they mainly for increasing speed and allowing you to change your appearance at will?]

Wu Shaogan also conveyed a similar message.

The ancient city was formed by the fusion of the two people's companion treasures, and naturally follows their wishes, reflecting their true intentions.

Although Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Wu put it rather concisely, the ancient city instinctively understood what they needed.

In just a few breaths, the ancient city "opened up".

[Among the ten treasures, the Gale Wings can increase the speed of the ancient city, allowing it to reach the level required for level nine.]

Zhong Cai's expression brightened with joy.

He didn't recognize some of the ten resources, and the "Wind Wings" that Gu Cheng pointed out were actually just a pair of grayish "stones" that looked like wings, which he didn't recognize at all.

Moreover, the name marked below is: Unknown Bird Wing.

Therefore, Zhong Cai originally thought that it was the wings of a rare bird of the ninth rank.

Now I finally understand that it is actually one of the rare and precious natural treasures.

Zhong Cai looked around, especially at the Nirvana cultivators—their merit points were the most likely to be exchanged for level nine resources.

Fortunately, most of these Nirvana cultivators were still comparing resources, and only a small portion had exchanged some. The resource names on the scrolls were also constantly being removed as they were exchanged... Luckily, they were all level eight and hadn't had time to exchange for level nine yet.

Without hesitation, Zhong Cai went over and found Xiao Zinuo Danhuang, saying, "This disciple wishes to exchange for a level nine resource."

— Level 8 resource exchange is handled by Nirvana Logistics, while Level 9 is handled personally by Xiao Zinuo and Lou Chuan.

Xiao Zinuo smiled and asked, "What do you want?"

Zhong Cai presented his list of battle achievements, saying, "Unknown bird wings."

Without hesitation, Xiao Zinuo crossed out the battle merit from the list. At the same time, he took out a dark box from his storage ring, which was specifically used to store the Gale Wings.

Zhong Cai opened the box, put away the Gale Wings with satisfaction, and returned the box to Xiao Zinuo.

"Thank you, Emperor Xiao Dan. This disciple will take his leave now."

Xiao Zinuo smiled and said, "You've worked hard this time, so try to get more of what you want."

Zhong Cai smiled and said, "Yes. This disciple understands."

·

According to Gu Cheng, there are no other usable items besides the Gale Wings.

Zhong Cai pondered that he had refined a lot of pills and accumulated a lot of pill essence during this great battle. In addition to the ones he hadn't used up before, he could draw more from the Golden Flame Pool... Why not try his luck again?

Even if he's not lucky, it doesn't matter. He's incredibly wealthy now and can offer bounties in the Land of All Beings. He's also quite famous on the continent, so bounties can be offered both within and outside the sect.

Wu Shaogan learned of Zhong Cai's plan and smiled in agreement.

Then, the couple looked at the other two level-nine rare medicines together.

Zhong Cai muttered to herself.

[The sect is really generous; they've even brought out a level-nine rare medicine.]

Wu Shaogan smiled.

[If A-Cai exchanges them, she won't have to feel the pinch for the sect.]

Zhong Cai's eyes lit up immediately.

Yes! I need to hurry!

Perfect! He didn't have either of these two level-nine rare medicines!

Zhong Cai had too many military achievements, so he had just returned and was now going back again.

Xiao Zinuo seemed to have known he was coming back all along, and still looked at him with a smile.

Zhong Cai suddenly understood.

The sect is so generous... perhaps one reason is that the people in charge know that alchemists really like rare herbs.

With so many level-eight alchemists helping on the battlefield, they must have accumulated a lot of battle merits. In the end, most of those who exchanged for these two medicinal herbs were also alchemists.

The Lingxian Sect is very confident that their alchemists will definitely accumulate more battle merits than those of other forces!

To put it bluntly, these two level-nine rare herbs are more like a perk for the alchemists of the Lingxian Sect.

—That's a little trick, I guess.

Of course, if a dark horse really emerges and surpasses the alchemists of the Lingxian Sect in battle achievements, and manages to exchange for it first... neither the Lingxian Sect nor the War God Hall would think much of it.

The alchemists from their own faction were simply not skilled enough to seize this opportunity.

It was a bit unexpected that Zhong Cai came to exchange it, but upon reflection, it made perfect sense.

Although he is indeed a seventh-level alchemy king, many of the things he does are actually more powerful than those of some eighth-level alchemists.

Zhong Cai is a Pill King who cannot be completely limited by rank.

In terms of detoxification alone, Zhong Cai's achievements have already surpassed those of some level eight alchemists—he has saved too many people, has too many ideas, and the total number is too large.

He deserves it.

·

Having successfully obtained a level nine rare medicine, Zhong Cai then set his sights on obtaining a level eight rare medicine.

This time it won't be so smooth, because there are too many cultivators available for exchange, and if you're not careful, the one you want will be chosen by someone else.

However, this isn't a big problem. Zhong Cai is relatively indifferent to level eight rare herbs, after all, level eight rare herbs are far less difficult to find than level nine ones...

Level nine alchemy is extremely rare and hard to come by, but as for level eight... if he really can't stockpile it now, once his alchemy skills reach the corresponding level, many people will come to give it to him.

Meanwhile, Wu Shaogan was silently exchanging for level-eight rare medicines.

His hands moved very quickly, focusing only on the exchange that Zhong Cai didn't have on hand—he was quite clear about Zhong Cai's accumulation.

With Wu Shaogan's help, more resources came into the couple's hands.

Meanwhile, Zhong Wufu's merit points vanished like water flowing away...

Zhong Cai's supplies were almost used up in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Now it's Wu Shaogan who's "swiping the card".

Despite how quickly these two exchanged their currency, there were actually quite a few others who did it just as fast.

Therefore, the cultivators who were still carefully selecting their candidates dared not hesitate for too long.

As time went on, the speed at which cultivators competed for resources increased rapidly...
