The Spirit Treasure Hall was just a general name. Within the Spirit Treasure Hall, there were many divisions such as the Resource Division, the Financial Division, the Reward and Punishment Division, and the Consecration Division.
The Merit Hall, the core organization of the Spirit Treasure Hall, was responsible for distributing contribution points and exchanging for Spiritual Treasures.
There were many disciples in the Merit Hall.
The Fire Worship Sect's disciples were divided into two groups. One group was to accept the reward mission.
The Merit Hall would release some missions periodically. Completing these missions would earn one contribution points. This was the biggest source of income for the Fire Worship Sect's disciples. There were many types of missions, including but not limited to assassination, collection, battle, intelligence gathering, and so on. It felt like being in an adventurer's guild.
Su Chen was standing in front of the mission bulletin board with great interest. There were many mission summaries on it and some of them attracted Su Chen's attention.
"Spy on the Immortal Dawn Sect, find out the situation of the higher management in the Immortal Dawn Sect, find out the relationship between the Immortal Dawn Sect and the Dragon Shrine, find out the relationship between the Immortal Dawn Sect and the Heng Valley Sect. This is an A-grade mission. The highest reward for a single mission is 100,000 contribution points."
The average reward for a mission was only a few hundred contribution points. However, the reward for this mission was as high as 100,000 contribution points. It could be seen that the Fire Worship Sect was focusing on it.
However, this was not unexpected. After all, the Immortal Dawn Sect had just gone through a major incident. They were constantly on the move. The Fire Worship Sect and the Immortal Dawn Sect were geographically close. Moreover, they were rivals and did not get along well. It was reasonable for the Fire Worship Sect to focus on the Immortal Dawn Sect's actions.
"It seems like the Flame Worship Sect is not stupid. He knows that the Immortal Dawn Sect is developing well and is on his guard. At this stage, he is just looking for information. Next, he will start to target the Immortal Dawn Sect. Especially the relationship between the Immortal Dawn Sect and the Heng Valley Sect. This is the biggest problem that the Fire Worship Sect is worried about. If it is proven that the Immortal Dawn Sect and the Heng Valley Sect have a good relationship, the Fire Worship Sect will not sit still," Ah Ke said.
Su Chen nodded.
He had already observed that there were many powerful Fire Worship Sect's disciples who were interested in this mission.
There would be a large number of spies sneaking into the Immortal Dawn Sect's territory. This was something that needed to be taken precautions...
However, no matter how strict the precautions were, the information would be leaked out sooner or later. With Su Chen's understanding of the Fire Worship Sect, this colossus would definitely launch a series of operations to suppress the Immortal Dawn Sect.
Even if Su Chen did not target the Fire Worship Sect, the Fire Worship Sect would still take action.
After all, once the Immortal Dawn Sect grew stronger, it would definitely shake the Fire Worship Sect's position. A mountain could not accommodate two tigers. The two sects were so close to each other. If the Fire Worship Sect was not stupid, they would definitely suppress the Immortal Dawn Sect.
It was actually a good thing that Su Chen could come here and understand the Fire Worship Sect's stance in advance. Otherwise, if the Fire Worship Sect really took action, it would be too late to prepare by then.
Soon, Cao De found Su Chen and Huang Xiaolong.
The two of them followed Cao De to the inner part of the Merit Hall and saw a steward named Lu Sheng. He was in charge of purchasing items with contribution points.
When he saw Su Chen and Huang Xiaolong, Lu Sheng did not beat around the bush and said bluntly, "Currently, the Merit Hall has 500,000 Merit Hall for sale. If an outer court disciple wants to buy it, he has to pay 1,000 Spiritual Stones as a tribute. This is the maximum amount that I can get. If it wasn't for Deacon Cao De's recommendation, I wouldn't have met you."
"Thank you, Steward Lu. I want all 500,000 Merit Hall. You can pay me now."
Lu Sheng looked at Su Chen strangely. Apparently, he did not expect Su Chen to have such a big appetite.
Su Chen did not beat around the bush and directly took out 600 million Spiritual Stones and handed it to Lu Sheng.
500 million Spiritual Stones were enough to purchase 500,000 contribution points. However, Su Chen directly gave Lu Sheng 600 million Spiritual Stones. After Lu Sheng received the Spiritual Stones, he immediately understood Su Chen's intention.
A smile bloomed on his face as he accepted the Spiritual Stones with a smile. "Little friend, you're straightforward. I'll help you increase your contribution points immediately."
Su Chen smiled and said, "Steward Lu, I heard that the contribution points between disciples can be traded. I wonder if Steward Lu has any connections in this area. I don't lack Spiritual Stones. If Steward Lu can provide some convenience, I won't mistreat Steward Lu."
When Lu Sheng heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "How many contribution points do you want?"
It seemed like there was a chance.
"The more, the better."
Su Chen obviously did not want so many contribution points to exchange for the Scarlet Lotus. However, if Su Chen wanted to get in touch with Zhou Ning Yun, this was the only way.
Zhou Ning Yun would not appear for small amounts of contribution points. She was Duan Rou's direct disciple and her status in the Spirit Treasure Hall was second only to Duan Yun. She had a large number of stewards under her command. When ordinary disciples came to the Spirit Treasure Hall to exchange for Spirit Treasures, the stewards would be in charge. Only the exchange of valuable Spirit Treasures would require Zhou Ning Yun or Duan Rou to appear.
The amount of Spiritual Stones wasted to purchase contribution points was almost negligible to Su Chen. All he wanted was an opportunity to get in touch with Zhou Ning Yun.
Lu Sheng thought for a moment and suddenly glanced at Cao De and Ah Ke, who was beside Su Chen.
Su Chen signaled Ah Ke with his eyes. She and Cao De stood up and left temporarily.
When there was no one around, Lu Sheng no longer hid anything. He said in a low voice, "I do have a lot of contribution points in private. Many disciples want to sell their contribution points. If you're not in a hurry, I can help you gather 100 million contribution points in three days. I'm just not sure if you can afford it."
100 million contribution points was equivalent to 100 billion Spiritual Stones!
Such a huge sum of money was not something an ordinary cultivator could afford. After all, many small sects did not even have that much wealth.
However, Lu Sheng had been observing Su Chen. When he saw that Su Chen's expression did not change after hearing the number, he knew there was a chance.
This lad was really a tycoon.
Such a tycoon had joined the Fire Worship Sect with an ulterior motive.
However, Lu Sheng did not care about this. There were many disciples in the Fire Worship Sect and their network was too complicated. He was not a big shot so there was no need for him to pay attention to Su Chen's background. As long as there was a profit to be made, he would not reject it.
"No problem. In that case, I'll have to trouble Steward Lu. I'll visit you again in three days."
"Alright, leave it to me."
Lu Sheng was overjoyed. If this deal was successful, he would be able to earn at least 10 billion Spiritual Stones. This was a huge sum. With this sum of money, he might even be able to become a core steward in the Spirit Treasure Hall in the future.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He must seize it firmly. He must not let the other stewards know about this. Otherwise, it would be bad if someone else interfered. After all, he was not the only one who wanted to do this.
