Chapter 505: Sect's Weaponry
In ancient times, monks acted without any taboos.
Slaughtering the creatures of one side to refine the magic weapon; destroying the mountains and boiling the sea, burning the forest and sinking the land; ignoring the agreement, going back on one's word; killing and robbing, only seeking profit...
All of these are normal.
The reason for this is that as the level of cultivation improves and one's own strength grows, the restrictions on cultivators become fewer and fewer.
A Divine Transformation cultivator took a fancy to a rare treasure that a Foundation Establishment cultivator had accidentally obtained. He could easily kill the cultivator and take the treasure for himself. In this case, how many people would choose to obtain the treasure through "trading"?
Similarly, when a foundation-building cultivator is faced with a "deal" proposed by a spirit-transforming cultivator who is countless times more powerful than himself, would he dare not agree? If the other party breaks the contract and turns his face against him, what can he do? He can only swallow his anger and even be thankful that the other party did not take his life.
If the two parties in a transaction are not in an equal position, there is no question of fairness in the transaction.
But in today's Five Elders Council, and even the entire Xuanhuang Realm, this situation has been completely changed.
It is because of the existence of various contracts.
The [Soul Contract] signed by the Five Elders' Association monks when they sold their bodies, the [Business Contract] that Li Fan had used many times before, and the special golden contract that could be used to buy and sell skills...
This omnipresent mysterious power can impose real restrictions on monks.
Even a Hedao monk cannot defy the power of a contract. Once signed, it must be followed.
Driven by contracts, order is established.
If the Tianxuan Mirror and Yanfa Jue are the foundation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, then the [Contract] is the lifeblood of the Five Elders Association.
Let's talk about [Soul Points] again. The essence of Soul Points is a special energy hidden deep in the soul through the power of the contract.
In addition to being used for daily transactions, it also has a special use. That is to consume soul points and open the [Immortal Sect Arsenal].
There, you can exchange all kinds of skills, classics, and treasures from the ancient immortal sects.
What is more worth mentioning is that there are real illusions of many sects in ancient times in the Xianzong’s arsenal.
The power that created the real illusion was very similar to the Falling Fairyland. There, the monks could travel to many extinct ancient sects. There were also many images of ancient monks in the sects. Most of them had no consciousness, but were just shells. But in actual combat, their power was almost the same as that of real people.
The Five Elders Association monks can consume soul points to repeatedly compete with these ancient monks to improve their combat power. And in the [Immortal Sect Arsenal], all injuries will not affect the real body, but only cause slight injuries to the soul. What's even better is that this kind of soul injury can also be healed by consuming soul points.
Theoretically speaking, if one has enough soul points, even a mortal who has just started practicing can become extremely powerful through battles.
With the soul contract as a constraint, the Five Elders Council does not need to deliberately suppress the combat power of the general cultivators like the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance did.
Of course, all of this is not free, and the monks need to fight for it themselves.
At this moment, at the border of Wudingzhou and beside the white fog barrier, Lv Fan looked at the various types of [Puxian Zhenzhou] and couldn't help but be very moved. But he was not a member of the Five Elders Association, and he didn't have any soul points at all, so he could only look at them with envy.
At this time, a vendor came up and said, "These two Taoist friends should be from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and have not yet joined our Five Elders Association, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Fan's face slightly changed. He glanced around cautiously, lowered his voice, nodded and said, "That's right. I wonder what this fellow Taoist's name is? How did you find out?"
The vendor took the two to his stall and said, "Don't be so nervous. My name is Gu Binliang, and I specialize in reselling."
“As for how I figured it out…” Gu Binliang smiled slightly: “Whether or not you’ve signed a Soul Contract gives you a completely different feeling. And I just happened to hear that a group of cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance were captured recently and are currently in the process of [Returning to the Immortals], so I made this guess.”
Seeing that Lv Fan was a little nervous, Gu Binliang said, "In fact, most of our Five Elders have no hostility towards you, the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals. After all, there have been many examples of monks who were captured in the past, turned over a new leaf, recognized the reality, and eventually became members of our Five Elders."
"And these people are even more loyal than ordinary members!"
When Lu Fan heard this, his face turned a little ugly.
Gu Binliang was also a good observer, so he skipped the topic and asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you interested in the [Puxian Zhenzhou], but are you worried about your lack of money and spiritual points?"
"That's true." Lu Fan nodded.
"That's okay. Even if you don't have any soul points, I believe you should always have some standard spirit stones on you." Gu Binliang said with a smile.
"There are indeed some." Lu Fan said with some surprise, but then a trace of doubt flashed across his face: "You Five Elders Association also use this standard spirit stone?"
"Haha, what you said is true, fellow Daoist. Since it is a standard spirit stone, it is naturally jointly manufactured by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association and recognized by both parties. However, ordinary cultivators in our Five Elders Association cannot use it, and it is a bit troublesome to exchange it for soul points. So they don't accept it."
"But for me, it doesn't matter. As a real businessman, I still need a considerable amount of standard spirit stones for transit." Gu Binliang explained.
"A real businessman..." Lu Fan instantly understood what the other party meant, "Then I'd like to trouble you to bring me a [Puxian Zhenzhou]."
Gu Binliang waved his hand, and dozens of miniature flying boats suddenly appeared in front of Lu Fan.
He also enthusiastically explained the difference to Lu Fan.
It didn't take long for both parties to happily complete the transaction.
When Lu Fan was about to leave, Gu Binliang stopped him and said, "Do you have any unused items with you? It is very inconvenient to travel in the territory of the Five Elders Association without soul points. I can use soul points to exchange with you."
As he spoke, he took out a human-shaped statue whose appearance could not be clearly seen.
"This is the [Statue of the Manifesting Heavenly Venerable], which can be used to store soul points. Even if you are not a member of the Five Elders Association, you can use it to trade with other cultivators."
When Lu Fan heard this, he couldn't help but be moved.
He immediately searched for the things in the storage ring. Gu Binliang also accepted everything, as long as Lu Fan was willing to sell, he would buy it directly.
When the number of soul points stored in the statue of Xianshi Tianzun reached 50,000, Lu Fan finally could not find anything else he was willing to sell.
"If you have any needs in the future, you can come to me again." Gu Binliang said with a smile and handed over a communication talisman.
