Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Chapter 73 A Frenzy of Consumption

Jiang Yun was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Unexpectedly, the recipe for the Qi-Boosting Pill sold nearly 80,000 contribution points.

In addition, the other two prescriptions also have nearly 30,000 contribution points.

He quickly took the jade slip from Qiu Jiantian's hand and began to examine it.

As Qiu Jiantian stated, the recipe for Yiqi Dan yielded a total of 79500 contribution points.

A first-grade superior pill recipe requires 500 contribution points to exchange once.

In Maple Leaf City's forty-nine wards, almost every ward has three families who have exchanged for the Qi-Boosting Pill recipe.

The other two first-tier mid-grade pill recipes yielded a total of 29400 contribution points.

It takes 300 contribution points to exchange for a mid-grade first-tier pill recipe, and about two people from each workshop have come to exchange for it.

"By using the name of the Qi-Boosting Pill, I didn't expect that the other two pill formulas could also sell for 29400 contribution points."

"Including the 79500 contribution points from the Qi-Boosting Pill formula, the total is 108900 contribution points."

After examining the accounts within the jade slip, Jiang Yun began to make calculations.

"108,900 contribution points, Zixiao Sect takes 30%, I get 70%."

"So this time I can get 76230 contribution points."

Seventy-six thousand contribution points may seem like a lot, but in reality, it's not that many.

Each of the eighteen workshops on the second-tier spiritual vein of Maple Leaf City needs to hand over 1500 contribution points to the Purple Cloud Sect every year.

Seventy-six thousand contribution points are only enough to last for fifty years.

However, the matter of handing over contribution points is temporarily none of Jiang Yun's business.

He can use these 76,000 contribution points to exchange for whatever he wants.

On the other side, Qiu Jiantian saw Jiang Yun pondering after examining the jade slip, and assumed that Jiang Yun thought the Zixiao Sect's accounts were falsified, so he spoke up:

"Don't worry, contribution points are of great importance, and Duibaoge wouldn't dare to cheat."

"These accounts were compiled from the forty-nine Treasure Exchange Pavilions, and there are no errors."

Jiang Yun nodded, returned the jade slip containing the accounts to Qiu Jiantian, and then took out his identity token from his storage bag.

"In that case, I'll trouble Steward Qiu."

When Qiu Jiantian saw Jiang Yun take out his identity token, he naturally understood that Jiang Yun wanted to collect contribution points.

He took out his abacus and said as he turned the abacus, "The three pill formulas sold a total of 108,900 contribution points."

"According to the rules, you can only get 70%, which is a total of 76,230 contribution points."

After calculating, Qiu Jiantian picked up Jiang Yun's identity token and began distributing contribution points.

After distributing the contribution points, Qiu Jiantian returned the identity token to Jiang Yun, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Nearly 80,000 contribution points is something an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator would find difficult to earn in less than a hundred years. You've earned so many contribution points in just half a year; I truly envy you."

Jiang Yun glanced down at his identity token.

Zhou Yun, Contribution Points: 78690

Previously, there were 2460 contribution points. With the addition of this 76,000 contribution points, the total has reached nearly 80,000.

"It's just a one-off deal," Jiang Yun laughed. "In six months, everyone who was going to redeem their items has already done so, and I doubt many people will come to redeem theirs anymore."

"Since you have such ability, why don't you just develop another pill formula?" Qiu Jiantian said, stroking his beard.

"How difficult it is! It was only by luck that we were able to develop these three elixir formulas."

Jiang Yun shook his head; he knew his own limitations.

These three pill formulas were brought from the cultivation world of Qiankun; they were not developed by him.

"Now that you've earned so many contribution points, is there any treasure you'd like to exchange for?" Qiu Jiantian asked with a smile.

"Of course." Jiang Yun slammed his identity token on the table and said boldly, "I want to exchange it for the second-tier high-grade alchemy inheritance, the Myriad Spirits Pill Manual, and the Gathering Yuan Pill recipe."

Jiang Yun had long planned to exchange for the recipe for the Gathering Yuan Pill.

Now that I have enough contribution points, I naturally want to redeem them.

As for the second-tier superior alchemy inheritance, the Myriad Spirits Pill Manual, even if you don't exchange for it now, you will have to exchange for it later.

The alchemy techniques and methods he is currently using are only the second-tier, low-grade Fire-Wood Alchemy Technique, a traditional alchemy method.

The Firewood Pill Refining Technique can only produce mid-grade second-tier pills at most. Considering Jiang Yun's innate talent for pill refining, he might be able to refine high-grade second-tier pills, but the chances are slim.

However, if one possesses the second-tier superior alchemy inheritance, the Myriad Spirits Pill Manual, coupled with the innate talent of the Pill Meridian, it would be enough to use the Myriad Spirits Pill Manual to attempt to become a third-tier alchemist!

Upon hearing the treasures Jiang Yun wanted to exchange for, Qiu Jiantian was shocked and asked, "A second-tier, high-grade alchemy inheritance: the Myriad Spirits Pill Manual and the Gathering Yuan Pill formula. Do you know how many contribution points are needed to exchange for these two?"

Jiang Yun naturally knew this.

The Myriad Spirit Pill Manual costs 10,000 contribution points, and the Gathering Yuan Pill Formula costs 16,000 contribution points.

The total cost of exchanging the two is 26,000 contribution points.

"It's alright." Jiang Yun waved his hand. "No need to worry about these things. As long as you have enough contribution points to exchange for them, that's fine."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Jiantian shook his head, puzzled, and asked, "I can understand exchanging for the Myriad Spirit Pill Manual, but what's the use of exchanging for this Gathering Yuan Pill formula?"

"The main ingredients for refining the Gathering Yuan Pill are extremely rare, and only my Zixiao Sect possesses them. Exchanging for the Gathering Yuan Pill recipe is less useful than directly exchanging for a Gathering Yuan Pill."

Jiang Yun smiled without saying a word, then suddenly said, "By the way, exchange for a Gathering Yuan Pill as well."

"..." Qiu Jiantian was speechless for a moment before asking, "Do I have to exchange for both the Gathering Yuan Pill and its formula?"

"Exactly."

Jiang Yun nodded.

The decision to exchange for this Gathering Yuan Pill came to me on a whim just now.

"I exchanged a Gathering Yuan Pill for it and gave it to the family to repay their kindness."

"So that I don't have to refuse the alchemy tasks that my family assigns me every year."

"Give back this Gathering Yuan Pill in exchange for the freedom to refine pills."

Jiang Yun's idea was very simple.

He will repay the family's kindness, and then he can refine pills for the family as he sees fit, or not refine them at all.

In this way, more time will be available to focus on cultivation and striving to become a third-level alchemist.

"Fine, I really don't know what you need the formula for the Gathering Yuan Pill."

Qiu Jiantian shook his head and picked up Jiang Yun's identity token to fiddle with it.

"The Myriad Spirit Pill Manual costs 10,000 contribution points, the Gathering Yuan Pill costs 17,000 contribution points, and the Pill Recipe costs 16,000 contribution points, for a total of 43,000 contribution points."

As he spoke, Qiu Jiantian deducted 43,000 contribution points from Jiang Yun's identity token.

"These three items need to be obtained from the Zixiao Sect's Treasure Exchange Pavilion headquarters. You can come back in ten days to collect them using your identity token."

After deducting the contribution points, Qiu Jiantian placed the identity token on the counter and said.

Jiang Yun nodded slightly, picked up the identity token and looked at it.

In addition to the contribution point balance, an extra line of text was found on the back of the token.

Zhou Yun, Contribution Points: 35690

[The Complete Elixir of All Spirits, the Elixir of Gathering Essence, and the Elixir Formula of Gathering Essence]

This line of text records the three items that Jiang Yun wants to exchange.

Once you have these three items in ten days, this line of text will disappear.

"Thank you for your trouble, Steward." Jiang Yun put away his identity token and smiled. "In that case, I will come to bother you again in ten days."

"Not exchanging for other treasures?" Qiu Jiantian asked again with a smile.

Jiang Yun pondered for a moment.

He does indeed still have things he needs to exchange.

For example, advanced foundation-building techniques can balance cultivation speed and produce pure and powerful magical energy.
