Chapter 71: The Barter

The night deepened when the moon shone.

In the room, Su Mo took out all of the things in the storage ring.

Through this trial, Su Mo suddenly got rich. He gained four Empty Spirit Fruits, 300 contribution points, as well as plenty of spoils, which made him become wealthy.

Now, Su Mo would sort them out carefully, keeping the useful things and exchanging the rest for contribution points.

In this trial, Su Mo got 1,130 Demonic Cores, 480,000 gold tickets, 42 Martial Scrolls, 16 weapons, 43 Spiritual Herbs, and 32 elixirs in total.

Su Mo kept 80,000 gold tickets, which were enough to spend, and contributed the remaining 400,000 gold tickets to the Sect.

Su Mo checked all of the 42 Martial Scrolls, of which most were Upper Lv 1. There were only 11 Lv 2 Martial Scrolls, which were Lower Grade, that Su Mo did not need.

However, Su Mo thought he had too few martial arts techniques, so he decided to exchange for a martial arts technique of a higher level from the Sect.

There were 16 weapons, of which eight were swords, and Su Mo selected a long silver sword.

This was a sword of Lower Lv 2. The blade was as bright as snow with a cold and fierce light. The handle of the sword was inlaid with a blue gemstone that was quite dazzling.

The sword that Su Mo used before was a refined sword of Upper Lv 1, which was brought from the clan, but not a match on this long sword with a gemstone.

As for his Spirit-slayer Sword, it was a sword of Lower Lv 3, which was a weapon that only martial artists in the True Spirit Realm could use. In general, he would not show it.

As for the 43 Spiritual Herbs, Su Mo only kept 10 Spiritual Herbs of Lower Lv 2 and decided to contribute the others to the Sect.

Most elixirs he got were for healing and Genuine Qi recovery of a low level, of which Su Mo kept only a few bottles.

“What’s this?”

At this time, Su Mo suddenly found a parchment the size of a hand among the packs of trophies.

Taking the parchment, Su Mo checked it carefully and found that it was a map.

But it seemed that the map was incomplete, so obviously, it was only one part of a whole map.

It was just an incomplete one.

Shaking his head, Su Mo randomly put the incomplete map into the storage ring.

After arranging all the trophies, Su Mo began to cultivate. He tried hard to consolidate the cultivation and refine the Genuine Qi.

On the broad mountain road in Gale Island, people came and went.

Su Mo walked on the mountain road towards the contribution palace of the Sect.

There were large numbers of people on Gale Island. The entire Sect covered several mountains with the strongest Spiritual Qi.

There was the medicine palace, the martial arts palace, the contribution palace, the sect affair palace, the mission palace, and Purple Gold Hall in Gale Island.

It was divided into different classes, and each performed its own duties, which was very detailed.

Now, Su Mo was on the road to the contribution palace.

After arriving at the hall of the contribution palace, Su Mo picked out all the weapons, Spiritual Herbs, Demonic Cores, and scrolls that were arranged the previous night.

He exchanged all of them for contribution points.

After the calculation, all of the goods were worth 1,125 contribution points.

Even Su Mo was quite surprised by such a high value.

The trophies of this time were times more than the award of winning the first place.

So, killing people and snatching treasures was the easiest way to make people rich.

After he finished exchanging contribution points, Su Mo walked to Purple Gold Hall.

Purple Gold Hall was a place that took charge of resources in Gale Island. Except for Martial Scrolls, all cultivating resources could be found in the Purple Gold Hall.

The Purple Gold Pavilion of each city in Skymoon Country was operated by Purple Gold Hall, which earned resources and money for Gale Island.

“Elder, I want to exchange some Beast Souls.”

Su Mo came to the hall of Purple Gold Hall and spoke to the elder garrisoning there.

“Oh, what level of Beast Soul do you want to exchange, and how many?” the elder of Purple Gold Hall asked.

Su Mo thought and then asked, “I want to exchange Beast Souls of Class 3 Lv 2. What’s the price?”

The power of Beast Souls at Class 1 Lv 2 was too low to make any effect on Su Mo’s Martial Soul progression.

If he continued to devour Beast Souls of Class 1 Lv 2, he did not know how many that he would need for the progression of his Martial Soul.

Even the Beast Souls of Class 2 Lv 2 did not bring definite improvements.

Therefore, Su Mo decided to buy Beast Souls of Class 3 Lv 2, which was two classes higher.

Though the Beast Souls of Class 3 Lv 2 were expensive, the effect was much better and the power was at least 10 times stronger than the Beast Souls of Class 1 Lv 2.

“10 contribution points for a Beast Soul Crystal of Class 3 Lv 2,” the elder of Purple Gold Hall said.

“10 contribution points for each? So expensive!”

Su Mo was startled. He thought that one Beast Soul Crystal of Class 3 Lv 2 might cost five or six contribution points. Unexpectedly, it cost 10 contribution points for each.

The price was five times more expensive than a Beast Soul of Class 1 Lv 2.

“All the prices of the goods in Purple Gold Hall are 10% cheaper for our disciples. The prices are higher outside of the island.”

The elder of Purple Gold Hall laughed. Finding that Su Mo only had a half step to the Spiritual Martial Realm cultivation, he disdainfully said, “You can leave if you can’t afford it! And come back when you earn enough contribution points.”

Su Mo did not care about the contempt from the elder of Purple Gold Hall. He thought and then said, “Exchange 100 Beast Soul Crystals of Class 3 Lv 2 for me.”

Su Mo decided to make an exchange in the end. Although the price was a little bit expensive, it was still within his budget.

“100 crystals! Do you have enough contribution points?”

The elder was stunned with suspicion.

100 Beast Soul Crystals of Class 3 Lv 2 required 1,000 contribution points. It was normally only Inner Disciples or some powerful Outer Disciples who owned so many contribution points.

However, Su Mo was just a disciple who was in a half step away from the Spiritual Martial Realm. The elder did not believe that Su Mo could have such a number of contribution points.

“Of course!”

Su Mo nodded his head and took out his jade identification badge.

The Purple Gold Pavilion elder received it and put Genuine Qi into it, and then Su Mo’s information immediately emerged.

1,425 points.

Su Mo had exchanged his trophies for 1,125 points of contribution—plus the awards of the test, it was exactly 1,425.

The elder nodded his head and confirmed that Su Mo’s contribution points were enough, so he took out 100 Beast Souls of Class 3 Lv 2.

Then the elder lightly wiped Su Mo’s jade identification badge. A white swirl flashed, and then the jade identification badge recovered as usual.

Su Mo took back his jade identification badge and checked it, finding that his contribution points were reduced by 1,000 points with 425 points remaining.

“Which do you want to learn, refining pills or refining magic tools?” the elder asked Su Mo finally.

Beast Souls were used for refining pills and refining magic tools, which other disciples rarely used, so the elder asked him.

“Both,” Su Mo smiled and answered equivocally.

Then, Su Mo walked out of Purple Gold Hall and went to the martial arts palace.

The martial arts palace was the place to deposit the Martial Scrolls of Gale Island.

The martial arts palace was a huge palace with five floors, in which the number of cultivation methods and martial arts techniques were countless.

Su Mo took 50 contribution points to exchange for a Medium Lv 2 Martial Skill, Nine Rapier Movements of the Wind Devil.

Nine Rapier Movements of the Wind Devil was very strong. According to the scroll recording, this swordplay was absolutely the best among the martial arts techniques in the same level.

Su Mo could not help sighing. “Awesome! With my contribution points, I can exchange for everything I want.”

Back to his living courtyard, Su Mo found a youth in black standing there.

Su Mo noticed that the youth was just the young elder, Wang Hui.

“Elder Wang,” Su Mo hurried over to him and said with respect.

“Su Mo, Elder Wei wants to see you,” said Wang Hui with a smile on his cold face after seeing Su Mo.

“Elder Wei?”

Su Mo frowned and wondered.

It was unexpected that an elder, Elder Wei, wanted to see him and had sent elder Wang Hui to tell him.
