After Lu Yin left, Xia Yan glared at Elder Long. "This kid is decisive and has contributed greatly to the poor. He also has an important mission. You've gone too far."
Elder Long replied, "I'm just educating a junior."
"No one here is your junior. His name is Ah Qi, and he's the sixth master of my second base." Xia Yan was displeased.
Elder Long frowned and glared at Xia Yan. "There is no difference in status between us. You belong to the Xia family, and I belong to the White Dragon Tribe. You have no right to speak about my family's matters."
"This is the second base's headquarters!" Xia Yan shouted.
Elder Long did not care. "So what?"
Xia Yan was furious, but there was nothing he could do. The Infinite Power Sourcebox Array had five bases, and the Four Way Scales controlled them. The commander and the array core belonged to different families to prevent monopolization. However, there were also drawbacks to this arrangement, as it would be troublesome if the commander did not get along with the array core.
Xia Yan did not want to fall out with Elder Long over this matter, so he did not say anything else.
Lu Yin's expression darkened as he left the headquarters. He could clearly sense Old Monster Long's dissatisfaction with him. If he was from this planet, then both Old Monster Long and Long Ke would have tried to mend their relationship. Unfortunately, he wasn't.
So what if Elder Long was a half-step ancestor? With his status, as long as he did not do anything out of line, even a half-step ancestor could not do anything to him.
He took a deep breath, as it was time to find the best treasure. Every base had a place to exchange merit points, and Lu Yin finally found it after a while.
The place to exchange merit points was not far from the headquarters, and it was a simple earthen house. The second base's camp was made of the same material, and while it looked simple, it was actually very sturdy. It had not been damaged much in the previous battle.
Many people were exchanging merit points, and Lu Yin walked in and saw a cloud stone. Once activated, it would list the items that could be exchanged for and the required merit points.
Power vessels, battle techniques, materials, star essence … There were many things that could be exchanged for. Lu Yin flipped through the list, but he still could not see the end. He saw all sorts of power vessels, defensive weapons, and a variety of battle techniques. There were at least a thousand types.
Although the back of the battlefield was a dangerous place, if one was lucky and stayed there for a long time, it was also a place to increase one's strength.
There was no lack of resources here. There were high-temperature flames, planets, and even sourcebox arrays. There were also slots to leave the backside of the battlefield, as well as slots to bring people out of the backside of the battlefield. Anything that one could think of could be found here.
Lu Yin looked around and directly checked out the power vessels.
A power vessel was not an ordinary external object, and its creation required the strength of others. Although Lu Yin had seen quite a few people with power vessels, they were either from the Four Way Scales, the Liu family, or the Farmer family. Their power vessels might seem ordinary, but in reality, most cultivators, even those who were close to becoming Emissaries, might not even have one.
The best power vessel that could be exchanged for here was a box. Lu Yin was speechless when he saw the box; who would be so bored as to create a box power vessel?
The name of this rare treasure was Small Heaven and Earth. According to its introduction, it could withstand the attacks of two Origin Tribulations Emissaries. It was quite good, but it did not look good when used, as it would cover one's body. However, its power was not weak.
Lu Yin had his die's Three Enhance, which allowed him to upgrade all his treasures to an abnormal level. Even the universal armor's defensive capabilities far surpassed this box box.
Xiao Chen shook his head, feeling that it was a pity. He did not have any more unique treasures, so he had to find something else.
The Rare Treasure is someone else's.
Some foreign objects were not inferior to rare treasures, and some were even better. For example, the machine that had attacked Hui Kong in the Technocracy, his own universal armor, and the giant's right arm were all foreign objects and not rare treasures.
There were far more external items than power vessels, so Lu Yin immediately found the one that required the most merit points. It was a very ordinary piece of clothing called the Cloud Lace Robe, and its description said that it was made from extremely rare materials. It contained many sourcebox arrays that could defend against all sorts of attacks, and its defensive power was roughly equivalent to that of a fifth tribulation cultivator.
Five Origin Tribulations meant that Lu Yin could withstand the attacks of more than nine hundred thousand powerhouses. Even the strongest defensive item that Lu Yin had was not as good, and the Cloud Flow Robe required an astronomical amount of merit points to exchange for.
Lu Yin's eyelids twitched as he glanced at it. Only someone with a power level of 800,000 to 900,000 could afford it, and it was even possible that only someone with a power level of a million could afford it. Such a powerhouse might not even need the Cloud Lattice Robe, and even if others wanted to, they wouldn't have that many points.
As for exchanging it for the younger generation, the price was too high, so much so that until now, no one had taken it away.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. That's it. Right, how did I get it?
He looked to the side.
Next to him was a woman. Coincidentally, she was about to exchange for a rare treasure. She raised her hand and tapped on the description of the rare treasure. Then, she entered her contact information into the Cloud Communication Stone and left.
Lu Yin followed suit and entered his own Cloudvision Stone's communication method. He walked out and followed the woman.
The woman took a few steps forward before she sensed that Lu Yin was following her. She turned around and stared at him. "Why are you following me?"
This woman had an ordinary appearance, and her cultivation was roughly at the level of an Explorer. Even if she wasn't cannon fodder on the battlefield, she wasn't far from it. Her eyes were filled with stubbornness and unyieldingness, as well as vigilance.
"This is my first time exchanging for something, so I don't know where to go."
The woman's gaze relaxed a little. "Head to the headquarters. Turn right, you can exchange there."
"Thank you," Lu Yin smiled.
The woman didn't move, and she only relaxed when she saw Lu Yin leave. She then slowly left.
Everyone on the battlefield was on high alert. Their enemies weren't just the monsters; there were also spies. However, after spending so much time here, one would become numb to it.
Lu Yin entered the headquarters once more. Without Liu Jing leading the way, he went straight to report to Xia Yan. He didn't have anything to prove his identity, and such people were generally not allowed to enter the headquarters. Lu Yin had no choice but to take out his token, which startled many people before he was allowed to enter.
Turn right?
Lu Yin turned right when he reached the headquarters. Coincidentally, someone was leaving, so he entered. Coincidentally, he saw Liu Jing.
Liu Jing hadn't expected Lu Yin to come and was astonished. "Ah Qi, what are you doing here?"
Lu Yin replied, "I'm exchanging for something."
"You have merit points?" Liu Jing was astonished.
Lu Yin nodded.
There was an old woman beside Liu Jing. She had a grim expression as she looked at Lu Yin. "What are you exchanging for?"
The Cloudvision Stone in front of him lit up, and Lu Yin entered his communication method. The Cloud Landing Robe jumped out.
The old woman and Liu Jing were shocked, and they looked at Lu Yin as if they had seen a ghost.
"You want to exchange for the Cloud Landing Robe?" the old woman asked in shock.
Lu Yin nodded. "Yes, the Cloud Landing Robe."
"Where did you get those merit points from?
Are you toying with me? "The old woman was furious.
Liu Jing hurriedly asked, "Ah Qi, the Cloud Landing Robe requires too many merit points. Do you have any?"
Lu Yin replied, "Senior, please check. This junior can overdraft Senior Qingchen's merit points."
Both of them had heard of Qingchen's name before, and the old woman was even more astonished. She hurriedly checked on him, and Liu Jing stared at Lu Yin. This person was becoming more and more mysterious since he was able to overdraft the merit points of a Commoner's Nine Gates Superintendent.
"That's right. You can indeed overdraft Senior Qingchen's merit points," the old woman said. Her gaze towards Lu Yin immediately changed, becoming much more respectful.
Qingchen was a Half-Ancestor, on the same level as Xia Yan and Old Monster Long. As a Superintendent of the Nine Gates, he had too many merit points to exchange for the Cloud Landing Robe. However, that wasn't the most important thing; the most important thing was overdrafting.
Even the most elite disciples of the Four Cardinal Scales didn't have the qualifications to overdraft their merit points. Only important people could do so, and at the very least, they had to be people who had a great influence on the battlefield. This person was so young, but he could actually overdraft his merit points.
"Can I exchange for the Cloud Landing Robe now?" Lu Yin asked.
The old woman was troubled. "I have enough merit points, but the Cloud Landing Robe is a little troublesome."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. He didn't believe that she would dare to make things difficult for him. "How troublesome?"
The old woman patiently explained, "The Cloud Landing Robe has been reserved by someone with the approval of the First Array Base's Commander, Lord Bai Chi. These items are all usable by all five array bases, and Lord Bai Chi has already agreed to let that person reserve the Cloud Landing Robe. It's not my place to make the decision."
Lu Yin frowned. "Is there no other way?"
The item that was second only to the Cloud Landing Robe could only defend against two Origin Tribulations, and it wasn't even as good as his universal armor.
The old woman was troubled. "Unless Lord Bai Chi or the other commanders agree, the Cloud Landing Robe can only be given to that person, even if that person doesn't have enough merit points."
Liu Jing spoke up. "Merit points have always been prioritized when it comes to items exchanged. Since when can you reserve it? That's against the rules."
The old woman was displeased. "It's not up to you to decide whether or not it's against the rules. In any case, unless the commander says so, I can't make the exchange." She looked at Lu Yin and gently said, "Little brother, don't make things difficult for me. Besides, even if I exchange it for you, I might not be able to get it back. All of the items are not with me."
Lu Yin understood her difficulties. Nobody would dare to take out something that the commander had reserved.
"Little brother, you should pick something else," the old woman said. Even she felt that it was a pity, as the Cloud Landing Robe was very precious. This person had already overdrafted Lord Qingchen's merit points at such a young age. Once he exchanged for it, he would have nothing to worry about on this battlefield.
Liu Jing frowned. "If the commander says so, can we exchange for it?"
The old woman replied, "Of course. Commander Xia Yan isn't any weaker than Commander Bai Chi. Once he says so, no one will dare to make things difficult for him."
Liu Jing looked at Lu Yin. "Seven, why don't you talk to the commander? Maybe he'll be willing to help."
Lu Yin hesitated. He wasn't from the Xia family, and Xia Yan might not be willing to offend Bai Chi for him. Bai Chi was obviously from the Frigid Immortal Sect.
"Let me think about it," Lu Yin said, but he didn't leave. The old woman could also see the items that were being exchanged, and she was happy to make things easier for Lu Yin.
She looked at Liu Jing. "Leave. Without merit points, I can't give you anything."
Liu Jing's expression turned ugly. "You're also from the second base. Do you want to see our people get slaughtered by those monsters?"
