"Ling Tian, I... will compensate you later."
After saying this, Hu Tao left somewhat depressed. Ling Tian knew what he was struggling with, but he just didn't know how to comfort him.
"Alchemy competition?"
Ling Tian touched his chin and thought that if he participated in the competition tomorrow, he might have a chance to get the Luanfeng Ding back. It would be fun if that happened.
Ling Tian's promotion ceremony was also regarded as a joke by tens of thousands of people in Danzong. Of course, he would not pay attention to these gossips, but he did not take it seriously. However, other people did not think so, especially some disciples of Dongfeng.
Ling Tian came to the Sutra Library and wanted to go in to look at some public pill recipes to increase his own reserves. After all, he only knew a few of them.
As soon as he entered, he was stopped by the administrator who was guarding the place. "Who are you? The Sutra Library is not for outsiders to enter. Leave immediately, otherwise the Discipline Hall will not show mercy."
Ling Tian frowned and took out his identity token. "I am the direct disciple of Peak Master Hu Tao of North Peak. I need to enter the Sutra Library."
The man toyed with Ling Tian's token, threw it over, and said in a rather tough tone, "It doesn't matter if you are a direct disciple or something else, if you want to enter the Sutra Library, you must make contributions to the sect. No one can enter without contribution points."
"Contribution points?"
Ling Tian was stunned. He didn't know this. He had only been here for two days and didn't know anything. He thought it was a man's duty. Just as he was about to leave, Song Yulan's voice rang in his ears, "Junior brother, what are you doing here?"
"Third Senior Sister, I just wanted to visit the Sutra Library to broaden my horizons, but I can't enter without Contribution Points. By the way, Senior Sister, how do I get Contribution Points?"
"Can't get in?" Song Yulan understood instantly and angrily dragged Ling Tian to the entrance, pointing at the administrator and demanding, "Weng Shijie, Ling Tian is a direct disciple. He doesn't need contribution points to enter the Sutra Library below the third floor once a month. This is a rule set by the Sect Master. Why don't you let Junior Brother Ling in?"
"Oh, Senior Sister Song, I was so busy that I forgot about it. I just remembered to call Senior Brother Ling, but he left too quickly. Haha, Senior Brother Ling won't blame me, right?"
Ling Tian did not respond, nor did he talk to him. Some things should be kept in mind. As long as there is a chance, it might as well make the world have one less piece of waste gas producing garbage.
"Senior Sister, which floor do you want to go to?"
"Hmph, I'm not going."
Song Yulan was a little angry at Ling Tian's weakness. She puffed out her cheeks, stomped her feet, and turned away.
Ling Tian wiped the tip of his nose. He knew very well why she was angry, but in the current situation, it was better for him to endure it. After all, his master could not handle the whole situation alone, and he would have to work hard on his own if he wanted to turn the situation around.
Without thinking too much, Ling Tian walked in. When he passed by Weng Shijie, he looked at him calmly. The majesty of his soul acted on him in an instant, frightening him so much that his back went cold and his forehead was covered in sweat.
Only after Ling Tian entered the Sutra Library did Weng Shijie dare to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
"He is definitely not a simple person. It seems I have to tell the Peak Master."
Ling Tian was shocked when he entered the first floor of the Sutra Library. There was actually a small world inside, and the area was huge. The number of collections was so large that he was astonished.
Ling Tian didn't care about the secret manuals of martial arts and the like. His only goal was to find the alchemy recipe. After searching for a long time, he finally found some ancient books related to alchemy in a corner. There were not many of them, only a few. After an hour, Ling Tian was very disappointed. Although there were many recipes recorded in the books, most of them were for healing and strengthening the body used by the secular world. Only the Qi-recovering pill was of some use.
A quarter of an hour later, Ling Tian arrived at the second floor. The area here was much smaller than the first floor. Ling Tian quickly found the area he wanted. There was only one book on elixirs, which made Ling Tian blush. Such a big alchemy sect actually had only this little wealth?
He opened the book and found only two kinds of pill recipes, both of which were common stuff and he knew them all. Ling Tian, not giving up, decided to go to the third floor to have a look. Needless to say, he returned disappointed.
After coming out of the Sutra Library, Ling Tian went to the Merit Hall and activated his identity token. Naturally, his arrival attracted a lot of strange looks.
Ling Tian naturally knew what they were thinking, but he didn't bother to pay attention and kept his eyes on the taskbar.
"Kill the Gale Wolf and hand over fifty wolf fangs for one contribution point. Valid for a long time!"
"Gather Night Herb at Yinfeng Ridge. Hand in ten pieces for one contribution point. The validity period is long-term!"
"Refine Amber Pills for me, three contribution points, long-term!"
"Hey, can you also make pills for me?"
Ling Tian looked at the task at the bottom of the task bar, which immediately attracted him.
After a brief thought, Ling Tian walked over to the counter to receive tasks. As soon as he arrived, a rather young-looking woman took the initiative to call out, "Brother Ling Tian, are you here to accept the task?"
She recognized Ling Tian. Although she had witnessed what happened at the ceremony yesterday, he was still a genuine disciple, many levels higher than herself, so she still had to respect him.
"Hello, Junior Sister, can you tell me the rules? I don't really understand them."
Dong Xinglan didn't expect Ling Tian to be so polite, which made her a little suspicious of the rumors.
"Brother Ling, this task column is very simple. Just pick the number behind the task and come to me to register to receive it. You need to pledge a certain number of contribution points to receive high-level tasks, but not low-level tasks. Once you receive it, you must complete it within the specified time, otherwise you will be punished. In addition to accepting tasks, you can also post tasks, such as refining pills for others. Similarly, you need to pledge contribution points. Each time you post a task, you need to pay at least one contribution point. The fee is based on a comprehensive evaluation of factors such as the nature and difficulty of the task."
"Oh, right, contribution points can be exchanged. As long as you control the identity token with your spiritual consciousness, you can do it. Contribution points can also be exchanged for spirit stones, but spirit stones cannot be exchanged for contribution points. The exchange rate is different every day, but there is not much fluctuation. The daily exchange rate is displayed on the wall over there."
Ling Tian understood, thanked him and walked over to take on a task of finding someone to refine Peiyuan Dan. Two contribution points was not bad.
"Junior Sister Dong, please help me register for mission number thirty-six."
"Okay, wait a moment!"
Dong Xinlan quickly registered Ling Tian. A quarter of an hour later, a disciple from Xifeng who was at the tenth level of Qi Refining came over. Seeing that the person who had accepted his task was the much-rumored new disciple Ling Tian, the man was surprised. However, he still respectfully offered the greeting of a junior, "Thank you, senior brother. I only need one furnace."
As he spoke, the man handed over a storage bag. Ling Tian took it and scanned it with his spiritual sense. There were dozens of herbs placed inside. He nodded and said, "Come to the North Peak Hall to find me in an hour."
"Okay, thank you, brother."
