"Although the Treasure Pill Palace is named after the main hall, it's actually a place with abundant earthly fire in the spirit vein of Mount Qingxu.
There were a total of 18 mountain peaks, and on each mountain peak, there was a special underground fire connection that was opened up to connect to the ground.
Now that you're an alchemist of the third rank or higher, you're qualified to choose one of the eighteen peaks as your temporary residence. You don't have to worry about the lack of spiritual energy in the spirit vein of Mount Qingxu.
However, once you move in, you'll have to take on certain missions from the school in addition to the benefits of being an elder.
Every year, the school will assign certain missions to you. Although they're not compulsory, they're all related to your merits and directly determine how much you can exchange for from the school.
Also, Palace Master Dan Chen once said that all alchemists of the third rank or higher in the Treasure Pill Palace must form a team of alchemists. They'll work together on alchemy matters with a single peak as the center.
In other words, a group of Pill Alchemists will be assigned to the mountain you choose. The number of pills they are able to refine will be closely related to the contribution you receive.
Another thing worth mentioning is that if any of the alchemists in this group can make a breakthrough with your guidance, they'll be handsomely rewarded.
If you can guide a third rank alchemist, the reward won't be less than ten years of painstakingly refining holy pills. "
Dongfang Ming finally brought Ziyue to the Treasure Pill Palace and said this.
"It seems that guiding disciples to make a breakthrough is the fastest way to earn merits."
Ziyue nodded calmly.
With the decline of the Treasure Pill Palace, alchemists of the third rank or higher were scarce. Not only was the school anxious, but Lord Dan Chen, as the palace master, was naturally even more anxious.
That was why he set up such a reward system in the hopes of producing more high-level alchemists.
However, making a breakthrough through alchemy was never a simple matter.
As an early fourth rank alchemist, Lord Dan Chen was among the top five alchemists in the entire Cloud Piercing Mountain Range. However, he'd always been a loner and wasn't good at teaching disciples.
The only third rank alchemist he'd ever nurtured died in an accident.
That was why the Treasure Pill Palace gradually declined …
However, this was a good thing for Ziyue.
His alchemy ability was increased by consuming soul energy in the attribute panel.
Although in terms of the number of holy pills he could make, he was even less than some alchemist apprentices who'd just started learning alchemy for a year or so. However, his experience and understanding of alchemy had already reached the limit of a high third rank alchemist.
Most importantly, he was very well-rounded.
Generally, no matter how difficult a third rank holy pill or how complicated the refining method was, as long as he had the corresponding recipe, he could successfully refine it without a lack of experience.
Ordinary Third Grade Alchemists were either good at recovering Spirit Pills or Spirit Pills that could increase True Essence and Divine Sense. There were always some shortcomings. In the areas that they were not good at, their performance was even worse than some Second Grade Alchemists.
Naturally, it would be difficult for him to guide his disciples in all aspects and help them advance.
...... for Ziyue..............
Of course, he didn't care too much about this in his heart. After the thought flashed through his mind, he asked casually, "I once heard Daoist Rich Water mention that there is a Merit Hall in the sect. It is where the seniors in the sect have created their merit over the years. There are many records of merit creation inside?"
He didn't forget his real purpose of joining the Qingxu Sect.
Now that he had officially become a disciple of the Qingxu Sect and was the leader of the Qingxu Sect Elders, he naturally had to put his creation on the agenda.
Disregarding everything else, the countless records of inspiration in the Hall of Creation would definitely be of great help to him.
"Elder Kunlun, it's time for you to create your own?"
Dongfang Ming was surprised and then said, "There is indeed a Creation Hall in the Sect, but if you want to enter it and create your own, you need to spend a lot of merit points.
That's because not only are there records of the many creations and inspirations that you've mentioned, but there are also records of the insights that you've obtained.
The most important thing is the environment of creation in the hall after it's opened.
In the special environment of creation, not only will your thoughts and inspiration increase greatly, as if you have the help of God, but there will also be many methods of operation derived by the predecessors, which will be verified in front of your eyes one by one.
With the help of the past and the present, the efficiency of creation will naturally increase greatly. "
Ziyue nodded thoughtfully. Such an auxiliary effect was comparable to enlightenment, but the effect was definitely not as good as real enlightenment.
"How many merit points do you need?"
Then he asked again.
"Generally speaking, you need to spend at least 1,000 merit points a day. If your requirements are higher, you will need to spend more merit points a day, up to 10,000 merit points.
Such a cost doesn't seem to be much, but the time of creation is not fixed. If you add it up day by day, not everyone can afford it.
However, you have the Purple Gold Token, which has a certain discount, which is much less than the ordinary disciples. You only need to spend about 70% of the cost to enjoy such treatment. "
As he said, Dongfang Ming's eyes showed a trace of envy.
He had the Golden Elder Token, which also had a certain discount, but it was not as great as Ziyue's.
Moreover, he knew very well that the real benefits of the Purple Gold Palace Master Token were not limited to this.
Not only was it higher than the ordinary Elders like him in terms of authority and status, but also some special treasures could only be touched and exchanged by cultivators with the Purple Gold Token.
Those were the real treasures that made people green with envy.
For example, some spiritual objects that could prolong one's life, treasures that could help one break through to the next realm, protective objects that could greatly increase one's strength and life-saving ability …
"In that case, may I know if these merit points can be exchanged with spirit stones?"
Ziyue thought for a while and asked again.
"Yes, you can exchange it directly in the Internal Affairs Hall. One merit point can be exchanged for ten low-grade Spirit Stones.
However, if you want to exchange it with Spirit Stones, you need to exchange for 30 low-grade Spirit Stones. "
Dongfang Ming answered clearly.
"Three times?"
Ziyue frowned. The price range was a little too big.
Dongfang Ming smiled and said, "The most important use of merit points is to exchange for resources in the sect.
However, many of the resources in the sect are rare or even non-existent in the outside world.
The sect also doesn't encourage disciples to exchange merit points with Spirit Stones.
However, if you need it, there are disciples in the sect who are willing to trade privately. Usually, it's much cheaper than in the Internal Affairs Hall. Generally, 20 low-grade Spirit Stones can be exchanged for one merit point. "
Ziyue nodded silently. He couldn't help but look at the 114,000 merit points on his Identity Token. Only then did he realize that the number of merit points was actually quite a lot.
Among these merit points, 100,000 were the reward for entering the sect as a special talent that the sect needed. 14,000 merit points were the reward for killing the evil cultivators on the way back … The fact that it was recorded was obviously a sign of goodwill from the Qingxu Sect.
At least, he wouldn't have to worry too much about merit points in the short term.
…
Then, Ziyue chose a mountain called Fiery Spirit Peak among the 18 peaks of the Elixir Treasure Hall as his cultivation residence.
There was a cultivation palace in Fiery Spirit Peak, as well as many large and small alchemy rooms. As long as he tidied it up, he could use it directly.
Ziyue didn't delay. He refined the Palace Control Stone on the same day and officially settled down.
"The peak of the Fifth Grade Spiritual Vein, Starlight Spirit Gathering Formation, Purple Gold Token, Elixir Treasure Hall, Merit Creation Hall, seven to eight Golden Core Realm Perfected Cultivators, and more than 100 Divine Realm Perfected Cultivators … This is the Qingxu Sect, worthy of being one of the Four Immortal Sects of the Cloud Piercing Mountain Range."
Ziyue sat cross-legged in his cultivation palace. He couldn't help but recall what he had experienced today one by one.
While it was an eye-opener, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
In this place, he truly felt the aura of immortals, and also sensed the divine elegance of immortal spell cultivators.
Especially when he saw the three Golden Core Realm Perfected Cultivators, including the Coffin Hall Master, Jiwu Hall Master, and Ren Feixian Sect Master, at a close distance, it made him yearn endlessly.
Of course, at the same time, he also vaguely felt the strength of the Golden Core Realm experts.
They seemed to have a natural Dao and were quiet and inactive, but there was a terrifying explosive force hidden inside. Once they used their thoughts, they could create a terrifying power in an instant.
He thought that his strength was strong, but in front of such an existence, he really had no room to resist.
"This is the Golden Core Realm.
Divine Thought, Original Power, Soul … Endless power turned into a point, forming a Golden Core Realm Perfected Cultivator. "
Ziyue sighed with emotion. He couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart. He had a strong desire to create the follow-up Cultivation Method as soon as possible and improve the realm of immortal cultivation.
"But it will be soon.
As long as I translate the Demon Clan Cultivation Method, I will go to the Merit Creation Hall and can deduce my Divine Realm Cultivation Method in one fell swoop.
At least, it can be deduced to the Middle-stage or even Late-stage of the Divine Realm. "
Ziyue's eyes were shining, and he smiled.
Then, with a thought, he waved his hand and four storage pouches appeared in front of him.
These four storage bags belonged to the four Demonic Cultivators who died in his hands.
With a thought, he summoned the Ten Thousand Flames Furnace with his Divine Sense and placed it on the bags of holding. The restrictive spells, traps, and even some backfiring methods on them turned into clouds of black smoke and vanished the moment they came into contact with the five-colored flames.
Then, with a "pop" sound, the seals on the four storage pouches were all broken by him and they were completely opened.
