Of course, one cannot measure the foundation of a sect solely by the number of guaranteed rewards. At least in Su Lin's view, Sword Pavilion's guaranteed rewards are mostly profitable, with substantial additional income beyond the guaranteed rewards.
But the Netherworld Blood River Sect's minimum wage doesn't actually produce any goods! It's just that there are a lot of them!
There were still 6 low-income areas left in the town that Su Lin hadn't visited. He quickly ran through them all in 2 hours. Apart from the 2 low-income areas that had already been closed, he searched for the remaining 4 low-income areas!
3 gold, 1 purple.
"What kind of drop rate is this! This is worthy of being called the number one sect of the heretical path?!"
Su Lin was so angry that he cursed loudly. With the drop rate doubled, he still managed to get a purple item! He was guaranteed to get the bare minimum for the minimum drop!
Forget about traits, techniques, skills, experience, etc. These four minimum rewards don't even drop red collectibles!
"Serves them right for being swallowed up! What a fucking poor bastard sect!"
Su Lin cursed under his breath, but fortunately, the recruitment conditions were basically met, and his ultimate goal was achieved, so he wasn't too picky about the value of this extra benefit.
After exploring the minimum living allowance, Su Lin observed that the battle in the town was still very intense.
The Netherworld Blood River Sect is indeed a major sect. If they were to truly engage in a bloody battle to wipe them out, it would take at least a few days, including the time needed to clean up the remaining members.
Su Lin had no time to waste here, nor did he care about finding new hidden supply points. He directly asked Xiao Linlin, "Shall we go find Su Qingyang now? Is the Peace Stone with him?"
"It's highly likely. Judging from the timeline, the righteous path should have already obtained the Peace Stone, since that's the biggest reason for the war."
Xiao Linlin nodded: "But we need to come up with an excuse, a way to openly and legitimately get in touch with the Peace Stone."
If a player touches the Peace Stone without a suitable reason, it will inevitably raise suspicion about their role-playing and trigger potential threats to the mechanism.
Have you thought of it?
"There are a few excuses we can try."
"Okay, let's go find Old Su."
Su Lin nodded, very efficiently, and turned to find Su Qingyang without any delay.
But things don't always go as planned. In order to find Su Qingyang faster, Su Lin chose a secluded route in the town where there were few people, but he still encountered a new battle.
Moreover, among the two groups fighting, there were even some old acquaintances of Su Lin.
"Xu Zhenshu?!"
Su Lin was taken aback. He stood on the rooftop and looked down at the scene below. Xu Zhenshu was leading a group of Sword Pavilion disciples in a fierce battle, and the surrounding area was full of evil disciples, most of whom seemed to be quite skilled.
Behind Xu Zhenshu was the Shuyu Heavenly Palace camp led by Fairy Bai, who stood guard beside several carriages. Occasionally, the carriage curtains were blown up by the strong wind, revealing gold and silver objects inside.
"Judging from their route, they're heading out of the city. Are they escorting supplies out?"
Su Lin saw through the situation and shook his head: "Forget it, it's not really our business. Let's just avoid them."
Su Lin had no intention of playing the hero and rescuing the damsel in distress. Time was running out, and he needed to get the Peace Stone as soon as possible to find out where to escape.
Although Xiao Linlin speculated that obtaining the Peace Stone would allow her to repeatedly learn the location of the escape point, she was unsure whether the "24-hour" restriction on the escape point would be affected.
If this time limit is fixed, every minute Su Lin wastes is a disrespect for his own life.
He didn't want to stay in this match forever.
But before Su Lin could leap away, Xiao Linlin suddenly called out to him, "Brother, wait!"
"What's wrong?"
"I find it a bit strange. The great war isn't over yet, so why are the righteous sects in such a hurry to escort the looted wealth out of the city?"
Xiao Linlin frowned: "It's possible for other minor sects to do this, but given the resources of Sword Pavilion and Shuyu Heavenly Palace, they don't seem to be short of money. Why would they specifically send two relatively powerful junior leaders and disciples to escort the treasure?"
"If others find out, won't they gossip and laugh at us for disregarding the battlefield situation and only thinking about the plundered wealth?"
"you mean..."
Su Lin frowned: "The Peace Stone is in their hands?!"
"Very likely."
Xiao Linlin nodded: "Only this point makes sense for the team's eagerness to leave the city: although the situation inside the city is gradually becoming clearer, fighting is still going on everywhere. Now that the Peace Stone has been obtained, it is definitely safe to send it out of the city as soon as possible."
"Given that the experts from various sects want to stay behind to block those of equal strength, the most suitable people to do this are definitely the outstanding disciples of the major sects, who have the strength to escort them and will not affect the outcome of the battles within the city."
"Let's go take a look!"
Su Lin trusted Xiao Linlin's analysis. He would never miss any opportunity to come into contact with the Peace Stone, so he simply took a leap and joined the battle!
"It's Senior Brother Su!"
The White Fairy was the first to notice the anomaly, seeing a young man from the Sword Pavilion descend from the sky, wielding swords and knives, and charge into the crowd.
Overjoyed, her voice drew Xu Zhenshu's attention. She also noticed Su Lin's arrival, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with delight: "Junior Brother! You're really here!"
Xu Zhenshu had heard Bai Xianzi talk about Su Lin's performance and deeds tonight, and he was initially somewhat skeptical.
Looking at Su Lin fighting against the group of evil disciples, he was well-prepared and his sword moves were clearly the Zhou Tian Sword Technique. He was also holding the sword of the Sword Pavilion Sect Leader!
really!
Fairy Bai was not exaggerating; her junior brother's cultivation had greatly increased!
His arduous training in the blessed land over the past few days was not in vain, and it may even be... His junior brother had been secretly training hard without anyone knowing, but tonight he unleashed his accumulated strength and made a great contribution to the sect!
It makes sense, it all makes sense!
