After leaving the residential area, under the familiar guidance of Zhuo Yushi, we turned around several busy streets, passed through several corridors, and came to a palace gate.
There were ten inner disciples who came to receive the sect gifts, and they lined up in a long queue.
Xiao Chen finally saw a lot of senior inner disciples, most of whom were in the low-grade Martial Queen stage.
But unlike Zhuo Yushi, the aura of these senior disciples is very restrained, and their true energy is extremely condensed.
They were also in the low-grade Martial Queen period. If Zhuo Yushi fought against them, he would probably be able to catch all ten moves.
If the prediction is correct, these people should have taken Juyuan Dan once, and then cultivated to the low-level peak Martial Emperor.
In addition, Xiao Chen also discovered something, that is, some people received more sect gifts, and some people received less sect gifts.
The inner disciple with the most received one hundred thousand high-grade spiritual stones and fifty low-grade spiritual beads in one go.
Xiao Chen asked Zhuo Yushi behind him: "What's going on with those people?"
Zhuo Yushi explained: "Those are the inner sect disciples who rank higher on this month's contribution list. They have completed many tasks for the sect and received additional rewards."
"By the way, speaking of this, we have to take on a mission this month. If we don't take it, we will be expelled from the inner gate."
Haotian Prefecture has a vast area, with countless cities in the prefecture. Many chambers of commerce, families, and city lords' mansions will apply to the Haotian Sect to solve problems when they encounter problems that cannot be solved.
The Haotian Sect is also willing to accept the commission. Firstly, it can maintain the stability of the state, and secondly, it can train the disciples in the sect.
There are also some tasks issued by the true disciples, elders, and deacons within the sect. They encounter some things that they cannot spare the time to solve.
It will also be released as a task and handed over to the disciples within the sect to complete it, and it will only cost a little reward.
Zhuo Yushi said: "You can get not only task rewards but also contribution points for completing tasks. Additional rewards when receiving sect gifts are the biggest source of wealth for inner sect disciples."
"But the rewards and contribution of the mission are all linked to the risk. It is often said that some disciples never come back after accepting the mission."
During the conversation, it was soon the turn of the two of them to receive the sect gift. The process was very simple, just hand over the inner disciple identity card and let the other party check it.
Zhuo Yushi's family was not rich. After receiving ten Spirit-Returning Pearls, his face was extremely excited. He held a few Spirit-Returning Pearls and said, "Now, I have the money to buy the Juyuan Pill."
Xiao Chen said in surprise: "Why are you exchanging Gui Lingzhu if you have nothing to do?"
Inner sect disciples can use one-tenth of the first-order spiritual source to practice. Under these conditions, the effect of high-grade spiritual stones to assist cultivation has been much weaker.
It can only be used after going out. It can only be used as currency on weekdays, and it is far less valuable than in the lower world.
Spirit-returning beads are different. Not only can they help you pass the level, but they can also be used to practice faster than using spiritual sources. Of course, the premise is that you have enough spirit-returning beads.
Zhuo Yushi smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to either, but before the end of the month, I should be able to reach the low-grade Peak Martial Emperor, and I must use Juyuan Dan."
Xiao Chen felt relieved. He could have 200,000 high-grade spiritual stones, which he could only get by killing many veteran martial emperors in the lower realm.
Not everyone is like him. They have just been promoted to Martial Emperor and dare to look down on the veteran Martial Emperors in the lower realms.
"Let's go, let's not talk anymore. Let's go buy Juyuan Dan. I will also go into seclusion later." Zhuo Yushi said.
The city floating in the sky is the inner city of Haotian Sect. The inner sect disciples have a chance to go up there once a month.
It is said that there is a fourth-level top-grade spiritual source inside this city, which not only fills the inner city with spiritual mist that lingers all year round, but can also produce a large number of top-grade spiritual stones every year.
Practicing on it, even without using spiritual sources, is much more effective than the houses where inner disciples live.
After passing through the thick fog transformed by spiritual energy, the two registered at the city gate and successfully entered the inner city.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of Haotian City below, the atmosphere in the inner city is calmer and more comfortable, and pedestrians walking on the streets rarely speak loudly.
From time to time, you can see many powerful disciples whose cultivation is so unpredictable that no one dares to underestimate them.
Zhuo Yushi had been to the inner city once last month and was familiar with the places that sold elixirs in the city. He quickly led Xiao Chen to a medicine shop.
When the shop owner saw business coming to his door, he immediately greeted him warmly and said with a smile, "You two little brothers, what kind of elixir do you want to buy?"
Zhuo Yushi couldn't wait to say: "Give me a low-grade Yuan Ju Dan, and I will buy it directly with Gui Ling Pearl, okay?"
"Yes, yes, of course." The shop owner smiled broadly. It was already a big business, and if he used Gui Lingzhu to buy it directly, he would make a lot of money.
"Wait a minute." Xiao Chen stopped him, "I'll pay for his Yuan Judan, and give me another high-grade Yuan Judan."
Zhuo Yushi said in surprise: "Brother Xiao Chen."
"Don't look at me like that. I lent you the spirit stone first and you have to pay it back." Xiao Chen said with a slight smile.
Zhuo Yushi was excited. The Gui Ling Pearl was much more valuable than the top grade Ling Stone, and it was a treasured item that could not be obtained just by wanting it.
If he hadn't reached the peak of the low-level Martial Emperor and had to use Juyuan Dan, he would never have exchanged it for the Lingzhu.
"Thank you, Xiao Chen. I won't say more. I'm determined to be your friend." Xie Xi patted Xiao Chen's shoulder heavily.
After handing over the spirit stone, Xiao Chen compared the two Juyuan Pills and found that there was no difference, except that the luster on the top grade Juyuan Pill was darker.
The store owner explained with a smile: "Haha, little brother, there is not much difference between the high-grade Yuan Judan and the low-grade Juyuan Dan. It's just that if you practice earth-level exercises, the effect of using the low-grade Yuan Judan will be greatly reduced. "
"Under normal circumstances, the middle-grade Juyuan Pill is enough for most people. If you want to change it now, it's okay."
Xiao Chen put away the high-grade Yuan Ju Dan and said, "No, I want the high-grade Yuan Ju Dan."
Without leaving in a hurry, Xiao Chen asked about some heavenly materials, earthly treasures and elixirs that could assist in practicing the Cang Ming Body Refining Technique.
"This is a blood refining pill, worth 400,000 high-grade spiritual stones. It can refine the blood of warriors and use it to assist body refining techniques. It has excellent effects."
"Ice Spirit Pill can relieve the pain when practicing body training techniques. It is worth 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones."
"This is the Spiritual Yellow Flower. It is a rare treasure of heaven and earth that can penetrate deep into the bone marrow. There are 500,000 high-grade spiritual stones."
The practice of a physical cultivator requires the assistance of a large amount of natural treasures. When the shop owner saw Xiao Chen asking about these pills, he immediately introduced them with great enthusiasm, and it seemed that countless spirit stones were shaking in his eyes.
There were so many good things that Xiao Chen was eager to see them, but the doctor was helpless and shy, so he could only take a look. In the disappointed eyes of the store owner, the two people left the drugstore and rushed back.
Half an hour later, the two of them had paid this month's rent and were about to go back to the house for retreat when they were blocked by a group of uninvited guests.
"Hey, I've been waiting for you two for a long time, and you are finally back."
The lean man in front who had wounded Gong Yangyu led a group of people and stopped the two of them.
Zhuo Yushi's expression changed slightly, and he whispered: "That person is Gui Wu, one of the leaders of the two newly-emerged factions in the inner sect. I am afraid that the person who came here is not good."
It turns out that this person's name is Gui Wu. I haven't seen him for a month. This person's cultivation has not changed, but the concentration of his true energy has become several times stronger than before.
Compared with some of the senior inner disciples that Xiao Chen had seen, he was no worse at all, and even a little better.
Xiao Chen looked at the other party and said calmly: "If you have something to say, just say it and don't block the way."
Gui Wu sneered and said, "Then I'll tell you, each of you, hand over five soul-returning beads to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the six people around him immediately released their aura, locking the two of them firmly.
Although the cultivation of this group of people is not as high as that of Gui Wu, their true energy is also very condensed. They have probably all taken Yuan Ju Dan, so their strength should not be underestimated.
