Witch, please have some self-respect!

Liu Mubai began explaining the rules to Shen Yun.

"Our Holy Sect's outer disciples are not bound by any rules. They will receive five contribution points every month for completing one sect task each year."

"The first-level minors in our Minor Training Pavilion receive a fixed 10 contribution points per month."

Each year, one hundred finished runestones and ten high-quality runestones must be submitted. Attribute runestones are valued at two for every one they produce. The sect will collect these through contribution points.

"If you don't hand over enough, you'll have your contribution points deducted."

Shen Yun listened attentively, then noticed that Deacon Liu had fallen silent.

"That's it?"

"It's gone!"

Shen Yun hadn't expected the rules of the Holy Sect to be so simple.

Deacon Liu was also somewhat surprised. Shen Yun seemed very confident about the ten high-quality rune stones and didn't seem to have much worry.

It should be noted that many first-tier rune masters in the Holy City would rather not join the Holy Sect because of this requirement.

High-quality runes are not easy to come by. Even though Shen Yun uses Blessing Points every time he engraves a rune, he has only managed to produce two or three high-quality ones in this period of time.

The chances of other talisman masters creating exquisite seal carvings are even lower; it requires one to be at their peak in terms of energy and spirit.

Only a second-tier rune master can reliably produce high-quality first-tier rune stones.

Mobilizing more than 80% of the energy is as difficult as attempting to advance from a minor mastery level to a major mastery level.

Of course, the Holy Sect did not require that you be the one to carve the seals. If you can buy them from outside and hand them over to exchange for contributions, that is also your ability.

Seeing Shen Yun's confidence, Deacon Liu chuckled.

"We cultivators don't need too many rules to bind us. Exchanging anything within the sect requires consuming contribution points, and those who seek progress will try every means to earn sect contribution points."

Shen Yun also realized the importance of making contributions.

"How much contribution is required for submitting runestones?"

The Holy Ancestor requires contributions in everything, which serves as an invisible imperative.

"Senior brother, the methods to gain contribution points through minor cultivation, as well as the amount of contribution points that can be exchanged for with rune stones, are all in this booklet."

A disciple standing nearby took out a booklet and handed it to Shen Yun.

Seeing Steward Liu serve tea, Shen Yun tactfully took his leave.

Obviously.

The Auxiliary Cultivation Pavilion is not a place where auxiliary cultivators gather, like the Talisman Stone Hall.

Instead, it's a place for unified management of minor courses, consultation, and the submission of resources to exchange for contribution points.

The best place to supplement your training and improve your strength is still the Heavenly Craftsmanship Palace.

Although I'm not staying at the training center, I can rent a cultivation room at the Heavenly Craftsmanship Palace and listen to the masters' lectures without any problem.

This is what a neutral force is.

As they left the supplementary study hall, Feng Lei noticed Shen Yun's gloom and said with a smile.

"Joining the Holy Sect is certainly a big deal for us, but it's nothing to the Holy Sect. People join the Holy Sect every day, and people are expelled every day."

"If we don't enter the inner sect, the sect doesn't have high requirements for us. After all, even here, the entire Holy Sect is just a branch sect."

Shen Yun was taken aback, almost forgetting that the world he was in was just a secret realm.

"Thanks for reminding me."

"The three of us were brought into the sect by the young lady, but we were not valued at all. That's how the young lady instructed us back then."

Feng Lei still clearly remembers what happened that day.

At that time, they only went to the Hall of Inheritance to get their waist tokens, and that was it. You can imagine their sense of loss and confusion.

I almost thought I'd been tricked by the young lady.

"In fact, the achievements of the inner disciples are also limited. Only those who are true disciples of the Holy Sect, like the young lady, have the opportunity to leave this world and meet the main sect."

Feng Lei's words were filled with admiration for Feng Luoyi.

Even in one branch sect, there are hundreds of thousands of disciples.

Each of them is a young genius who has emerged from a vast region, but of these hundreds of thousands of geniuses, only half can enter the inner sect.

There are only fifty-three true disciples.

In a world where all great power resides within oneself, the Holy Sect needs true prodigies.

One person is worth more than ten million.

"When I was in the Feng family, I saw the eldest young lady as a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky; after joining the Holy Sect, I saw the true disciple of Feng as a mayfly gazing at the blue sky."

Shen Yun echoed this sentiment.

Feng Lei and Feng Dian were considered outstanding disciples in Seeking Immortals City, but they only entered the Holy Sect through connections.

The world is full of heroes, like carp crossing a river. Even the most outstanding people struggle to make a living, so how could someone like him, who is just a fish, have a smooth life?

You may be a genius, but there are geniuses everywhere here.

"Why think so much? All I know is that things are much more comfortable here in the Holy City, and my cultivation is progressing much faster!"

The wind power expert's rough remarks shattered the two men's promise of loyalty to the young lady from afar.

The two gave an awkward laugh. They weren't peerless geniuses, so they didn't have such grand ambitions. They only wanted to break through to the Blood Sea Realm and live a carefree life for three hundred years.

I have not yet climbed this mountain, so I cannot imagine how tall and magnificent it is.

"Uncle Shen, can you make high-quality runestones?"

Walking on the streets of the holy city, Feng Lei took a deep breath.

Shen Yun's evasive tactics were too good; unable to probe further, he had no choice but to ask directly.

"High-quality runestones?"

Shen Yun breathed a sigh of relief; at least it wasn't a loan.

"Premium runes are almost twice the price of regular runes, so isn't it more cost-effective to use regular runes?"

Instead of answering immediately, he asked a question in return.

Shen Yun vaguely sensed that everyone's attitude towards high-quality rune stones was unusual.

Feng Lei was surprised: "Uncle Shen, don't you know the advantages of high-quality rune stones?"

"Can ordinary runes protect against the mid-stage of Body Nourishing Realm, while high-quality runes can protect against the seventh stage of Body Nourishing Realm?" Shen Yun asked, frowning.

Feng Lei thought for a moment and realized that Shen Bo's stone-carving skills were probably learned in the Immortal Seeking City.

Moreover, at the early stage of body cultivation, one has probably only engraved talismans but has never used them to fight others, so they would never need to use the limits of high-quality talismans.

In fact, Feng Lei only learned this after arriving in the Holy City.

"Uncle Shen only knows one aspect." Feng Lei took out two rune stones from his pocket. "The runes inside ordinary rune stones are like grooves that have been carved in, and the energy is uneven."

The finest ones have vibrant energy channels; spiritual power flows along the meridians, not only minimizing waste but also resonating with blood and qi, accepting external blood and qi infusions, and unleashing even greater power.

"Oh, you can even infuse high-quality runes with vital energy!"

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Shen Yun's eyes. In that case, the power would be much stronger than expected.

The power unleashed by a high-quality runestone depends on the cultivator themselves; the more blood and energy infused into it, the greater its power.

It is indeed far superior to ordinary rune stones; no wonder high-quality rune stones are much more expensive to acquire.

However, there must be a limit to this, the limit of the energy that the runestone can hold.

Shen Yun listened to Li Yunliang discuss a blank talisman that could hold more essence in the talisman hall. The production process was based on the same principle and it was theoretically possible to make it.

"For the Wilderness Squad, there is a captain who has reached the peak of the Body Nourishing stage to lead the team. The greatest danger comes from the exotic beasts, monsters, and Tribulation Cultivators in the Great Wilderness who are beyond the ordinary late stage of Body Nourishing stage."

Ordinary protective runes are not difficult to obtain, but high-quality runes are the real game-changers that can turn the tide in crucial moments, allowing you to unleash even greater power in the later stages of body cultivation.

The wind and thunder, the wind power, and the people talking back and forth made Shen Yun realize the caution and prudence of the people walking among them.

When besieging and killing savage beasts, the main force should use protective runes to greatly reduce the chance of injury.

When encountering cultivators or demonic beasts, using protective talismans is commonplace.

If the strengths are roughly equal, and the opponent uses a skill you don't, you're bound to be outmatched.

Before committing murder, the primary task in the Great Wilderness was to break the enemy's protective charm.

Even a protective talisman can't be broken, and you still want to kill someone and steal their treasure?

Life is only once, and no one will be stingy with things that can save their life.

In the final, perfect stage of cultivation, having a stronger protective charm than others can be the key to turning the tide of battle.

All for the sake of saving their lives!

Your Swiftness Talisman isn't as fast as mine, your Protective Talisman isn't as strong as mine. It sounds funny, but in reality, it could be a matter of life and death.

Shen Yun suddenly realized why he had never seen any high-quality rune stones for sale near Lingnongfang.

It's estimated that the talisman masters who made them kept them for their own use, or sold them to others as a favor.

It seems that high-quality products will always be scarce.

Coincidentally, for Shen Yun, as long as he has enough good fortune, all of his items can be of the highest quality.
