After Hu Xishan’s explanation, Chen Lin finally understood the points system of Danding City.
To put it bluntly, the purpose of Danding Sect establishing such a system is to collect natural treasures.
As long as you sell rare materials and treasures to Danding Sect, you can get points. These points are extra gifts, and you will get as many spirit stones as the goods transaction requires.
The ratio of value to points is ten to one, and one point can be deducted from one day's residence tax.
For example, if you sell a spiritual medicine worth one hundred low-grade spiritual stones, you can get ten points, which can be used to deduct ten days of residence tax.
After listening to Hu Xishan's explanation, Chen Lin could only say that the Danding Sect was cruel enough.
In this way, no one will use spirit stones to pay the residence tax. That would be a pure cheat. It would be better to use spirit stones to buy rare treasures elsewhere, and then sell them here in exchange for points. It is just a matter of running errands and basically does not cost anything.
However, people can obtain a large amount of natural treasures just by sitting at home.
No, even so, you still have to pay the entrance fee.
Dark, really dark!
Chen Lin complained in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
The rules were made by others, and they spent a lot of effort to set up the formation to protect the safety of the monks entering the city. It is reasonable for them to collect some benefits.
Of course, it didn't affect him much.
He already had quite a few spiritual medicines in his storage bag, and he had been planning to get rid of them. If he sold them to Danding Sect, he could get a lot of points, enough to last for a long time.
This calmed Chen Lin down.
"My two Taoist friends, three days is definitely not enough. I am going to have a big fight at Wuzhen Tower this time, and I need to save up enough points. Let's go now while there are not many people here!"
Yu Zimo couldn't wait any longer and urged Chen Lin and Hu Xishan.
Hu Xishan nodded, "Yes, it's not easy to encounter the advanced branch of Wuzhen Building. We can't delay it. Go and save points quickly."
After saying that, he suddenly took out a jade slip from his storage bag, threw it to Chen Lin and said, "This is the secret technique of dual cultivation that I mentioned. You should seize the time to comprehend it, and we will have fun together in a while!"
Chen Lin was stunned and took the jade slip in his hand, not knowing what to say.
No matter what, this is also a secret technique. The other party gave it to him as soon as he said so. He really didn't treat him as an outsider.
He wanted to refuse, but when he thought about how the two of them talked about dual cultivation as being miraculous and that it could quickly improve his cultivation, he became a little distracted and placed the jade slip between his eyebrows to examine it.
After his expression changed, Chen Lin took away the jade slip and bowed to Hu Xishan.
"Thank you, Daoist Fellow Hu, for the magic you have given me. This secret technique is profound and mysterious, and its origin is probably not ordinary. How can I take it for free? Please tell me the price, Daoist Fellow."
After only reading it once, Chen Linmian felt that the spell was extraordinary.
Although they had a pleasant conversation along the way, it had not yet reached the point where he would give such a secret technique to someone, and he did not want to owe such a big favor.
Hu Xishan waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's just a secret technique that can be copied. It's not a treasure that will disappear once it's given away. If you really feel bad about it, you can pay with the spirit stones when we get to Wuzhen Tower."
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, but he stopped being shy and said with a cheerful smile, "Okay, I will arrange good girls for you two Taoist friends when the time comes!"
"Haha, that's right, you finally got it, it's worth celebrating, let's go to the Xianshan Restaurant to have a good meal first!"
Hu Xishan gave Chen Lin a teachable look and laughed.
Yu Zimo next to him immediately agreed, "In that case, I'll treat you to this spiritual meal!"
Chen Lin finally went along with the crowd, and the atmosphere between the three of them became more and more harmonious. They talked and laughed all the way, and after walking for a while they arrived in front of a large restaurant.
Because there are basically no mortals in the city, the food here is all spiritual food that contains spiritual power. Eating it regularly is also very beneficial for cultivation. Of course, the price is also very expensive.
This one is the Xianshanlou, which is quite famous in the city.
Chen Lin had never eaten in such a high-end spiritual food restaurant and was quite curious.
The three of them did not go to the private room. They were just cultivators in the Qi training stage. They could not waste the spirit stones and did not want to be too high-profile.
Even if there are no murders or treasure robberies in the city, they cannot stay in the city forever. They will have to leave sooner or later, so there is no need to cause trouble.
It was precisely because of their similar personalities that Chen Lin teamed up with the two of them. Otherwise, even if he wanted to gather information, he would not associate with those who liked to make a big splash and cause trouble.
The prices on the menu were staggering. Since Yu Zi Mo was treating, Chen Lin felt embarrassed to order more and only ordered a braised green-striped fish for fifty low-grade spirit stones.
This is already a relatively low price. The higher ones are priced with medium-grade spirit stones, and some dishes are even priced with high-grade spirit stones.
Hu Xishan also ordered a dish of stir-fried Tianxinggu, which cost eighty lower-grade spirit stones.
"Why, are you saving me spirit stones? No need, I am well prepared for this trip."
Yu Zimo took the menu and ordered two delicious dishes worth five medium-grade spirit stones, a steamed giant claw crab and a smoked red fire spirit pheasant.
Then, he ordered a pot of fine wine.
Chen Lin estimated that this meal would cost ten medium-grade spirit stones.
A low-grade magic weapon was eaten!
He secretly smacked his lips in his heart. He had gained a lot recently and thought that he was already wealthy among the Qi-cultivating monks. But now he felt that he was still far from it. He could not afford such food and wine.
The dishes were served quickly and soon all were there. The three of them ate and talked.
Hu Xishan broke off a crab leg, which was as big as a pig's foot, and the shell was soft and easy to peel off.
He took a big bite of the crab meat and said with satisfaction, "It is worthy of being a specialty of Wudinghai. It tastes wonderful and I never get tired of eating it!"
Yu Zimo also broke off one, and then broke off another for Chen Lin, eating while saying: "It's a pity that I'm not good at underwater magic, otherwise I could just hunt monsters in Wuding Sea and settle down in Danding City for a long time."
Chen Lin also peeled the crab shell and took a bite.
Suddenly I felt my mouth watering, and a gentle spiritual power emanated from the crab meat, bringing with it a wonderful sense of stimulation that made my whole body feel extremely comfortable.
After thinking about it for a while, he looked at Yu Zimo and asked, "I have never been to Wuding Sea. It is said that the sea is extremely dangerous. I guess it is not easy to hunt monsters there, right?"
If you go downstream along the Jinshui River, you will reach the Wuding Sea directly, so the food here is mostly sea monsters. He also wants to go to the seaside and ask about the situation first.
Before Yu Zimo could say anything, Hu Xishan spoke up, "We Qigong cultivators are rootless and without any support. Where can we go without danger? If we go to Wuding Sea, we will not only have to face monsters, but also have to be on guard against other cultivators. It is indeed more dangerous. But Wuding Sea is rich in resources. If we can return safely, we can live happily for a while."
Yu Zimo nodded, "Yes, the current world of immortal cultivation is not peaceful, there is no place that is completely free of danger, and I have found that there seem to be more and more strange things recently, and I don't know what is going on. This time I plan to stay here for a while, concentrate on practicing, and strive to improve my cultivation to the ninth level of Qi training."
"Indeed, demons and monsters are rampant, which is a sign of troubled times!"
Hu Xishan sighed, but immediately changed the subject, "But if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. We, small Qi training cultivators, can't worry so much. We should pay more attention to the girls in Wuzhen Building!"
"That's right, let's do one!"
Yu Zimo picked up the wine glass, and the three of them started to clink glasses.
