Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"This is snow lotus, the main ingredient in several kinds of elixirs;"

The price is okay...

Chu Yuan asked curiously, "How much does it cost?"

"Was it worth roughly a few dozen military merits?" Xie Jun thought for a moment and said uncertainly;

He wasn't interested in alchemy, so he only knew the general idea.

"..."

"This snow lotus is already the most expensive; the others are cheaper," Xie Jun said, gesturing to the dozen or so plants on the table.

"..." Chu Yuan remained speechless. In other words, he had gone through all that trouble to bring back a bunch of junk?

No, it wasn't particularly hard work, but it was definitely junk...

Judging from his expression, Xie Jun could roughly guess what he was thinking, and said with a wry smile, "If there really were any good stuff, you wouldn't think it would be your turn to loot it, would you?"

Besides, apart from secret realms, naturally occurring opportunities on Earth are extremely rare, and they're not particularly valuable...

Don't waste your energy on this.

"I feel the medicine inside is quite potent."

"So it's the main ingredient in several kinds of elixirs. If you converted it into money, it should be worth several hundred million?"

"That's quite valuable... but with such a small quantity, how can it be used as the main ingredient in elixirs?"

"There are only a few Earth-type materials... There is a secret realm that specifically produces these ice-type materials."

"Alright..." Chu Yuan regretfully put away all the plants on the table;

He suddenly realized that, at this stage, given the level he was able to access, it might be difficult to encounter opportunities that would surprise him.

Especially with the massive amount of merit inherited from the Blood Beast clan...

With his desire to plunder successfully dispelled, Chu Yuan entered seclusion mode again.

Whenever he felt he had made some progress, he would go to the snow-capped mountains to test his skills against strange beasts, and then return to seclusion.

However, he still couldn't bring himself to kill the last remaining Five Realms Snow Python;

After all, this is the only one left. If it's killed, Xie Jun obviously can't possibly catch another one for him...

The snow python had to move several times... Luckily, it seemed to be afraid of something and never dared to actually leave the snow-capped mountains.

During this period, the first assessment was held as scheduled, and a large number of people were eliminated!

Three days after the first assessment, the leaderboard and points redemption will be available!

This is purely a reward, with no punishment... The ranking is based on points, which was expected by many.

Kill points, cultivation points, leaderboard points... rankings are based on total points!

If you can stay on the leaderboard, even if you do nothing, you will receive a certain number of points every day.

For those not on the leaderboard, you might fight tooth and nail to kill a few monsters, only to earn fewer points than someone else who just lies around doing nothing...

It has a strong sense of the strong always prevailing and the winner taking all!

This time, however, no one complained about the unfairness.

Those who remain have already subconsciously accepted this model.

The words may be rough, but they make a lot of sense: If you can't accept it, then leave. No one is forcing you to stay.

It's unfair to complain here... but there are millions of students in the Great Qin who don't even have the qualifications to enter the training base, let alone get free martial arts techniques, exchange for pills, or receive guidance.

Wouldn't they feel even more that it's unfair?

After the leaderboard was launched, the second assessment followed.

The requirement is simple and straightforward: students in the Qi and Blood Realm who advance to the next realm within seven days without missing a stage are considered to have completed the assessment.

For students who have not yet reached the Inner Breath Realm, advancing to the Inner Breath Realm within ten days is considered as completing the assessment, which is three days longer than the former.

Those at the Inner Breath Realm are required to advance to a minor realm within ten days!

In an instant, someone else broke down...

That same day, someone made sarcastic remarks in an anonymous group.

"Xie Jun, I order you to advance to the eighth realm within one month! To the ninth realm within six months! And to pacify the outer battlefield within one year!"

"Did you make your family laugh? What does the instructor think this is? Growing vegetables? Growing one centimeter today, two centimeters tomorrow..."

"Actually, if you can exchange points for pills... it shouldn't be too difficult to achieve, right?"

"Have you considered that consuming too many pills might affect your future promotions?"

"There must be a solution, right? Didn't the instructor say that Great Qin needs strong people, not cannon fodder?"

"Look at his pathetic self, do you think he'd care whether you live or die?"

"I don't care about anything else, I just want to stay..."

"Me too. The pills I redeemed with points are more expensive than I could afford even if I sold my house... And after advancing in rank, I get more cultivation points, which can be used to redeem resources."

"Chicken or egg? What if you exchange resources but can't advance? Wouldn't that break the financial chain?"

"Let's talk about the future later..."

"You bunch of scoundrels!"

......

The atmosphere at the training base has changed once again;

The students either hid in their rooms and cultivated using the energy-gathering array;

They either rush to the snow mountain to accumulate killing points, then exchange them for pills or guidance, and continue their seclusion... and so on.

Of course, all of this had little impact on Chu Yuan;

The points he gained from killing that giant bear alone were enough to cement his position at the top of the leaderboard!

As for the second stage of the assessment, Xie Jun did not say what requirements a martial artist in the Divine Power Realm had to meet.

The trainees also tacitly avoided mentioning it... as if they had all forgotten about this person.

Chu Yuan didn't need to exchange for any pills or guidance like the others;

As for pills, he already had a batch of Blood Pills and Spirit Nourishing Pills. Later, when he became a disciple, Wei Huang gave him a storage ring containing a large number of martial arts pills that covered a wide range of medicines, enough to support his cultivation for a long time.

As for guidance... neither Xie Jun nor Zheng Qian could guide him in cultivating the Kingdom of Light.

Only an eighth-level expert who has practiced this martial art can instruct him.

However, there are naturally no eighth-realm martial artists within the training base...

However, the points weren't useless to him. He actually had his eye on a treasure, but it required a lot of points!

【The Phantom Veil;】

Category: Face mask

Effect: Allows for free change of appearance and form (human form only).

Restrictions: Cannot be detected by beings at the sixth level or below; can only change the outward appearance, not the physical body; if disguised as a non-human being, physical contact should be avoided.

Description: Forged from the energy core of a powerful member of the Phantom Clan combined with the laws of illusion.

Price: 100000 points

This item isn't the most expensive in the points vault, but it's what Chu Yuan wants most.

After all, how can one survive in the martial arts world without a few disguises?

Although the Phantom Veil's shielding level is a bit low, as long as it's enhanced by the system...

It's not like I can't get 100,000 points...
