After a while, there were more than forty foundation-building monks in the room.
If we include the descendants brought by the foundation-building monks, the number of people in this room will be close to sixty.
There were also several foundation-building monks who brought their descendants to participate in this exchange meeting. It seems that the old man did not specifically favor the Chen family!
Chen Zhiyu thought to himself.
The three foundation-building masters of the Yunwu Sect who were sitting cross-legged on the futon in front of them suddenly opened their eyes and stood up.
I saw the oldest and most senior old man speaking first:
"Okay, it's almost time, let's start the next exchange meeting!"
Then he said:
"My Taoist name is Qingwei. I am one of the foundation-building monks of the Yunwu Sect stationed here. I believe all of you Taoists know me."
As he spoke, he glanced at the foundation-building monks in the room a little arrogantly.
Everyone nodded and didn't think there was anything wrong with the tone of his words.
Of course we know each other. Master Qingwei is one of the two late-stage foundation-building monks of the Yunwu Sect stationed here. His own cultivation has reached the eighth level of foundation-building. However, he is too old and has no possibility of breaking through the Zifu.
That's why I'm willing to stay here and accumulate merit points for future generations.
Merit points are actually a transaction currency within the Yunwu Sect.
With it, you can exchange it for elixirs, spiritual herbs, magic weapons, magical powers and many other treasures in Yunwu Sect. But the premise is that you have enough merit points.
How to obtain merit points is to complete the tasks assigned by the sect, help the sect clean up the monsters, and open up territory, thereby obtaining merit points.
Families affiliated with the Yunwu Sect can also obtain merit points by completing tasks, but first of all, their merit points for the same type of tasks are less than those of the disciples of the sect. Next, when they obtain merit points, a 10% handling fee will be deducted, so in fact
Merit points are not that easy to obtain.
Its exchange rate with spirit stones is 1:3, which means one meritorious service is worth three spirit stones.
The reason why it is so expensive is actually to prevent a large amount of leakage of resources within the sect, and the children of the family can obtain merit points with the help of external forces.
The exchange ratio has increased, so naturally no one is willing to exchange spirit stones for merit points. After all, no matter how useful merit points are, only the Yunwu Sect will recognize them!
But spirit stones are a universal currency. They can be used for cultivation, formation formation, and to purchase cultivation resources. Naturally, few people are willing to exchange them.
Even if someone with deep pockets is willing to change, the senior management of Yunwu Sect will be happy to see it happen. After all, you would be a fool not to make money if you have money!
For example, in the Yunwu Sect's allocation of foundation-building pills every fifty years, one foundation-building pill requires 20,000 merit points, which can be converted into spiritual stones for 60,000, which can be said to be a sky-high price.
Such an exchange ratio naturally inhibits the leakage of such rare resources.
However, the redemption of the Foundation Establishment Pill cannot be obtained just by having merit points. If you have merit points, you have to queue up.
The monks in the sect who are at the ninth level of Qi training can be given priority to redeem, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Next are the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage, who have three opportunities to redeem Foundation Establishment Pills in their lifetime, and then the elders in the Purple Mansion Realm, who have four opportunities to redeem Foundation Establishment Pills in their lifetime.
This rule seems to be beneficial to monks at the ninth level of Qi training, but it is not.
Basically no disciple can obtain so many merit points alone, so the disciples of the sect who can obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill are either extremely talented and have great opportunities, or they have the help of their master or the help of family forces.
Of course, among the thousands of qi-training disciples in such a huge sect, there are always a few dark horses popping up every time they exchange for foundation-building pills.
It's just that this rare resource is still in the hands of the top management.
For example, the Wang family, the leader of the four major families in Tianhuang County, has a sect elder from the Purple Mansion Realm that makes the Wang family dominate Tianhuang County and remain at the top of the four major families.
In the beginning, the strength of the four major families was actually about the same. Later, the ancestor of the Wang family turned out to be the ancestor of the Zifu realm, and the gap between the four major families widened.
The reason is that he has the opportunity to exchange for four foundation-building pills.
When the monks in the Qi training period are unable to redeem, the next step is the ancestors of the Zifu realm.
The ancestor of the Wang family asked the family to send a few of their outstanding members to the Yunwu Sect to practice, and then he exchanged four Foundation-Building Pills to help them build their foundations.
Next, as long as one person succeeds in foundation building, it means that the Wang family will have two more opportunities to exchange for foundation building pills. At that time, with the help of the ancestors of the Wang family, the Wang family will be able to emerge with foundation building. If there are too many foundation building, they will be able to survive.
An ancestor from the Purple Mansion Realm comes out.
This is how the Wang family continues to eat away at the sect's resources and strengthen itself.
However, sects are not fools. In order to prevent one family from becoming dominant and controlling the sect, most sects have set this rule. The leader can only be a child from the mortal world, and there is no family power behind it.
In addition, there is more than one family in a sect, so there is a kind of balance, and the power of the leader can be as stable as Mount Tai.
Moreover, competition among sects is fierce, unlike families that rely on blood relationships to maintain inheritance.
The base of mortals is quite large. After coming to the sect, after fierce competition, those who can stand out are the ones with the strongest talents.
Therefore, the monks who can become the head of the sect have always had spiritual qualifications and cultivation levels far beyond those of ordinary people. This is also the reason why the family cannot control the sect.
In order to further suppress the family power, the Yunwu Sect also formulated many methods to target the family, causing many obstacles.
After Master Qingwei introduced himself, he introduced the two disciples next to him to Master Ji Zhu who was present.
The middle-aged beautiful woman has a cultivation level of the sixth level of foundation building. She is a third-level high-grade talisman maker with the Taoist name Qing Ling. She also studied under the master of Zifu.
As for the man next to him, he has a fifth-level cultivation base. His surname is Han, and his name is Han Yuting. He is a third-level mid-level alchemist. But what puzzles Chen Zhiyu is that he does not have a Taoist title.
While Chen Zhiyu was thinking hard, a voice came into Chen Zhiyu's ears.
"Then Daoist fellow Taoist Han does not have a Taoist title because he has no disciples in the Yunwu Sect.
In the Yunwu Sect, only foundation-building disciples or direct disciples who have learned from the elders of Zifu will have a Taoist title.
However, most family members don't use Taoist names very much even in sects.
For example, your ninth uncle is also a direct disciple of the elder of Zifu, but he has not been given a Taoist title."
It turned out that Chen Yukun looked at Chen Zhiyu with a slightly confused look on his face, so Chen Yukun used a small spell, moved his lips slightly, and explained to Chen Zhiyu.
Oh I got it!
Chen Zhiyu suddenly understood.
Then the exchange meeting began. Because the exchange meeting was hosted by these three foundation-building masters of the Yunwu Sect, they naturally took out the treasures for exchange first.
In fact, the three of them also wanted to take advantage of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce to hold an auction the day after tomorrow, and many foundation-building monks would come to hold an exchange meeting in advance.
Especially the Master Qingwei, who will hold an exchange meeting in a short time, which is called: exchange.
It's just called communication, but it's actually about finding things that are useful for your own cultivation.
After all, these casual cultivators also have a lot of good things, and they can also make some friends and share their cultivation experiences with each other.
Master Qingwei waved his hand, and a red inner elixir, a small fan, an unknown small black stone and two bottles of elixirs appeared on the table.
“This inner elixir I have is the inner elixir of the third-order high-grade monster Fire Cloud Toad, but it was slightly damaged during hunting;
This small fan is a third-level middle-grade spiritual weapon, called the Moyun Fan;
This black ore is green granite. If it is included in the magic weapon inside the sword, it can make it sharper;
These two bottles of elixirs are third-level low-grade elixirs. One is called the Pulse Protecting Pill, which can protect the meridians during foundation building. It can also reduce the damage to the meridians even if the foundation building fails. There are two pills in them;
There is also the Yuan Yang Pill, which is taken by monks in the early stage of foundation building. It can increase mana, and it can also play a role in supplementing mana for monks in the middle stage of foundation building."
"The old rule is that third-level spiritual herbs, especially those for longevity, will be redeemed first, and elixirs suitable for third-level monks are also acceptable.
Next are special magic weapons, talismans, and finished formations.
As for the value, I will judge it and it can be exchanged if both parties agree."
Master Qingwei was obviously very familiar with such activities, so he finished speaking in one breath without any pause.
Chen Zhiyu looked at what Master Qingwei took out and couldn't help but be a little amazed.
The third-level high-grade monster is already equivalent to a human being in the late stage of foundation building. It already has a lot of IQ, not to mention the Fire Cloud Toad, which is already very intelligent and has its own poison.
This shows that Qingwei's real strength is probably extremely powerful.
As for the small fan, although Chen Zhiyu was also greedy, he knew that he could not use it in his current situation. Even if he could use it, he would have to wait for decades.
The prerequisite is that he must succeed in building the foundation and not fail, otherwise he may not be able to get this third-level spiritual weapon.
That ore must be of use to my second grandfather, but it still depends on the price. After all, the second grandfather still wants to help his second uncle.
When my second uncle was born, my grandmother passed away, and my grandfather happened to be injured, so he was taken care of by his second uncle when he was a child.
The relationship between the two is naturally extraordinary. Only in the past ten years have they each encountered a bottleneck in their cultivation, so they have less contact.
As for the two bottles of elixirs, the Chen family does need them, but whether they want to buy them and whether they have the ability to buy them is another matter entirely.
In fact, what Chen Zhiyu didn't know was that his grandfather had already looted two bottles of Yuan Yang Dan from the hunchbacked old man, but he didn't need it for the time being.
Chen Zhiyu also saw his second grandfather's expression changing slightly as he looked at the ore. It seemed that he wanted it very much.
Everyone is well aware of Master Qingwei's requirements. After all, there are not many idiots who can practice to the foundation-building stage.
Life-extending herbs and elixirs are so rare that even if you get the chance, no one would be willing to exchange them for these things.
A third-level elixir recipe is even more impossible. A third-level elixir recipe is also very precious. After all, it is an elixir suitable for cultivation by monks in the foundation-building period.
As expected, although there were a few monks who were ready to make a deal with Master Qingwei, it was clear that Master Qingwei did not like them, so the few who wanted to exchange turned back in dismay.
In the end, most of Qingwei's belongings were exchanged for third-level spiritual herbs.
Only the third-level middle-grade folding fan was folded into spiritual stones by Master Qingwei and sold.
Just hearing that the amount of spirit stones was as high as 2,800 spirit stones broke Chen Zhiyu's imagination.
Fortunately, he thought he would become a little rich after getting a few hundred spiritual stones. It turned out that even a fraction of a magic weapon was not enough. Chen Zhiyu, who was still young, already felt his poverty.
The bottle of Yangyuan Pill was replaced by the old man in dark green robes. When he was doing so, he gave Chen Yukun a provocative look.
At this time, Chen Yukun felt like a fool. Only he knew that he had obtained two bottles of Yuan Yang Dan, which was enough for him to use until the middle stage of foundation building.
Moreover, he still had a drop of Millennium Spiritual Milk, which was truly a treasure of heaven and earth. He just diluted some of it and took it, and he felt that he was closer to the bottleneck of the third level of foundation building.
Coupled with these two bottles of Yuan Yang Dan, Chen Yukun is confident that he can break through the third level of foundation building within a year. He can break through to the middle stage of foundation building in six years at most. At that time, he was only over 130 years old, and he might still be able to break through.
One step closer.
Thinking about it, looking at the old man wearing dark green clothes, his eyes were full of ridicule.
Later, Chen Zhiyu learned that the reason why the dark green old man had been targeting the Chen family was because their family had discovered a small Qingxuan stone vein with the Chen family forty years ago.
It was a pity that he lost at the hands of Patriarch Chen Jinghua.
The last small vein of Qingxuan Stone naturally fell into the hands of the Chen family, and the two families naturally became jealous enemies.
It was also because of the Qingxuan Stone vein that the Chen family obtained a Foundation Building Pill.
In the end, Chen Shiyun failed to build the foundation after taking it, which was a pity...
