High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

Those strange looks quickly fell on him, but no one came up to talk to him or provoke him.

This is, after all, the Azure Mist Chaos Island, and it's during the Wanbao Grand Gathering.

Behind any supreme being, there may be an untouchable entity, and no one would risk unnecessary trouble out of mere curiosity.

Su Jie remained calm. When it was his turn, he promptly paid 10,000 top-grade universe crystals and stepped into the teleportation array.

A dark golden light engulfed his figure, and a moment later he was already standing in the teleportation hall of the Qinglan branch of the Wanbao Heavenly Court.

The air was filled with an even richer aura of primordial chaos than before, mixed with the lingering scents of various rare materials and the energy fluctuations of the formation.

The hall was even more magnificent than the palace where the inter-domain teleportation array of the Taixu Divine Palace was located, with a high dome and various light screens and directional signs densely floating in all directions.

Su Jie stood in the center of the teleportation hall, his gaze sweeping over the dense array of light screen markers, and quickly found what he needed.

The Myriad Treasures Heavenly Court claims to be able to trade any item in the Chaos Mother Sea.

Whether it's treasures, materials, intelligence, or background, there's nothing they won't offer if you can afford the price.

For example, the service of paying money to buy an identity.

The system had mentioned it to him on the Void Ship: only branches of the Myriad Treasures Heavenly Court at the level of the Chaos Island offer this kind of service.

Of course, they wouldn't say it so bluntly on the surface. The official statement from Wanbaotianting is:

"All living beings in the Chaos Mother Sea, regardless of their status, can join the Myriad Treasures Heavenly Court through the contribution value system."

The core logic of this system is very simple: it doesn't look at strength or background, it only looks at how much you have contributed to Wanbao Tianting.

The more you contribute, the higher your rank will be.

However, the higher one's strength, the easier it is to earn contribution points.

Therefore, while this system may seem fair, its underlying logic still serves the strong.

It is said that all the highest-ranking members of the Wanbao Heavenly Court are, without exception, transcendent beings of the seventh rank or above.

That level stands at the very top of the entire Chaos Mother Sea, a level that Su Jie can't even look up to yet reach.

The membership levels of Wanbao Heavenly Court, from lowest to highest, are: unofficial staff, formal staff, deacons, senior deacons, head deacons...

With each level upgrade, the permissions and resource access limits will increase significantly.

Even so, the threshold for becoming an "unofficial employee" is ridiculously high.

However, there's a reason why they're expensive, because unofficial employees are far more valuable than fake identities bought from underground channels.

Almost all of the Eternal employees within Wanbao Heavenly Court are unofficial members.

Generally, only beings in the Transcendent Realm can accumulate enough contribution points to upgrade to a full member.

Su Jie's purpose in coming here was to become a member of the Myriad Treasures Heavenly Court.

In the future, whether it's sending photos, gathering intelligence, or causing trouble with fists and feet, it will be much easier than it is now.

Su Jie walked through the bustling crowd in the teleportation hall, followed the direction indicated by the light curtain through several passages, and finally arrived at a dimly lit corridor.

Every few feet along both sides of the corridor is a stone door, with a fist-sized gray crystal embedded in the lintel, emitting a soft light that illuminates the path ahead.

There were quite a few people in the corridor, all of whom came to inquire or directly purchase contribution points.

Those people had different faces and varying auras, ranging from those at the tenth level of Eternity to those at the third level of Transcendence.

Clearly, there are far more people on Qinglan Island who want to join Wanbao Heavenly Court than one might imagine.

Su Jie slowed his pace, his gaze sweeping over the markings on the stone gates.

Most of the gray crystals on the lintels are lit up, indicating "in use," while only a few crystals are dim, indicating that they are currently idle.

He walked to one of the dark gray stone doors. The crystal on the lintel lit up slightly as he approached, then slid open silently.

The space behind the door was much larger than he had expected; it was a circular, independent room.

The four walls were smooth as a mirror, without any decoration, except for a fist-sized dark golden sphere of light floating in the center.

The surface of the sphere was covered with fine runes, resembling a highly intelligent information interaction core.

Su Jie walked up to the ball of light and stopped. The ball of light flashed slightly the moment he approached.

A gentle, mechanical voice echoed in his mind: "Welcome to the Wanbao Heavenly Court Contribution Value System. Please select the type of service you require."

Several lines of clear light screen text appeared on the surface of the light sphere, arranged neatly and simply.

[Contribution Value Inquiry]

[Contribution Points Exchange]

[Membership Application]

[Member Permission Upgrade]

Su Jie's gaze lingered on the "Membership Application" section for a moment before he confirmed.

The screen switched, and new text appeared: "Membership application selected. Please select application level."

Current available level: Non-tenured employee. Higher levels require obtaining non-tenured employee status before applying for promotion. Would you like to apply?

Su Jie did not hesitate and directly chose "Yes".

The screen switched again, and a new line of information popped up.

"Application requirements for non-permanent staff: Accumulated contribution value of 100 Chaos Crystals (or equivalent items). Confirm application?"

Damn, a hundred Chaos Crystals?

Su Jie cursed inwardly.

He had already learned of the value of the Chaos Crystal from the system.

In areas at the Chaotic Isle and below, top-grade cosmic crystals are indeed the mainstream trading currency.

However, when it comes to markets at the level of Chaos Island, where transactions involve high-level transcendents and Chaos Treasures, the quantity of top-grade cosmic crystals becomes insufficient.

Chaos Crystals are a form of hard currency that emerged under these circumstances.

One Chaos Crystal is equivalent to one hundred million Top-Grade Universe Crystals. This conversion rate is a fixed exchange rate recognized by all major powers in the Chaos Mother Sea.

The reason why Chaos Crystals have such an outrageous value is that their production is extremely rare.

Only a very small amount can condense at certain special energy tides in the deepest part of the Chaos Mother Sea, and each condensation requires a period of time that can be measured in epochs.

More importantly, the pure energy contained within the Chaos Crystal can be directly absorbed and refined by those who have transcended, used to accelerate daily cultivation and recover from combat losses.

For those who transcend, Chaos Crystals are both currency and tangible cultivation resources, making them far more valuable than Top-Grade Universe Crystals.

Su Jie's entire fortune was only a little over two billion top-grade universe crystals, all of which were converted into the energy of the Taixu Chenyao Shuttle.

As a result, the qualification for a temporary employee now costs 10 billion. Wanbao Tianting is indeed a ruthless and greedy businessman who eats people without spitting out the bones.

No wonder they are the richest force in the entire Chaos Mother Sea. They not only bleed the outside world dry, but even their own people have to be skinned alive before they can get in.

P.S.: There was a data change: A first-tier Chaos Treasure consumes three strands of Primordial Purple Qi to transform into a second-tier one;

Consuming ten Daos allows one to transform into a third-tier cultivator; consuming one hundred Daos allows one to transform into a fourth-tier cultivator.

The amount of Divine Primordial Purple Qi required for each subsequent advancement is ten times that of the previous advancement.

1000 Paths to the Fifth Rank, 1 Paths to the Sixth Rank, 10 Paths to the Seventh Rank, 100 Paths to the Eighth Rank, and 1000 Paths to the Ninth Rank.
