Chapter 843: Chapter 122: Great Jin Secret Vault Department, Plans Ahead!

"However, the current Ghost Realm invasion is actually a good opportunity to earn contribution points, His Majesty Jinn has already issued a decree,"

"Slay a Tier Three Low-Grade Ghost King, and you can earn one contribution point, a Tier Three Middle-Grade Ghost King, three points, a Tier Three High-Grade Ghost King, ten points!"

"If you slay a Tier Four Ghost King, Low-Grade is fifty points, Middle-Grade is one hundred fifty points, High-Grade is five hundred points!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded and continued to ask:

"I wonder how many contributions are needed to exchange for the ’Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng’?"

"Four hundred ninety-nine points!" Zhao Xuan replied!

"What!" Zhou Xun couldn’t help but gasp.

Four hundred ninety-nine, that means even if one kills a Tier Four High-Grade Ghost King, it can only be exchanged for one ’Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng’.

This is equivalent to the existence of a Great Cultivator.

His current strength is already very strong, but only comparable to a Great Cultivator, perhaps there is a chance to defeat the weaker ones,

but to kill them is absolutely impossible!

And if it is a Tier Four Low-Grade Ghost King, it takes a full ten heads!

It seems that this "Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng" is not so easy to obtain.

"You know, this ’Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng’ is a rare treasure that can enhance the Divine Sense, and the stronger the Divine Sense, the greater the possibility of breaking through bottlenecks naturally makes it more expensive!" Zhao Xuan explained.

"Alas, it seems I have little chance to exchange for this item!" Zhou Xun sighed, then continued to ask:

"I wonder how much is required to exchange for the ’Celestial Spirit Wood Marrow Liquid’?"

"Only five Top-Grade Spirit Stones can be exchanged for a drop of it!" Zhao Xuan blurted out,

"Five!" Zhou Xun couldn’t help but feel a toothache, the prices of the Secret Vault Department are good, but truly exorbitant!

It’s worth noting, at the previous Pavilion Master transaction meeting, he also exchanged for two drops,

the cost was just setting up a short distance Teleportation Array formation, calculated in Spirit Stones, it was merely six Top-Grade Spirit Stones,

each drop was only three Top-Grade Spirit Stones,

at this Secret Vault Department, the price increased by over sixty percent!

But considering he needs quite a few of this item, if relying on himself to search, who knows how long it will take,

thinking it over, he still decided to exchange for the remaining three drops he needs!

After all, he has many Spirit Stones in hand, if not exchanged for resources, they’re just dead objects, so he said,

"I want three drops of this ’Celestial Spirit Wood Marrow Liquid’!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan was jubilant,

these treasures exchanged out, he also gains extra commissions and contributions, although the ratio is small, but based on these fifteen Top-Grade Spirit Stones,

it becomes a considerable sum! Also, it prompted him to be even more enthusiastic towards Zhou Xun.

"I wonder if Pavilion Master Zhou desires other treasures, Great Jin encompasses all seas, our Secret Vault Department’s treasures and spiritual objects are stored within!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun’s heart was greatly moved, starting to contemplate which other treasures he needed,

"I wonder about that Crossing Pill..."

"Regarding the Realm-Breaking Treasure for the Nascent Soul Stage, it can only be exchanged through contribution points!" Zhao Xuan shook his head.

"Then I wonder if there is Tier Four Puppet inheritance?" Zhou Xun continued to ask.

"Naturally there is, whether Puppet, Alchemy, Array, Talisman Making, or Artifact Refining, our Secret Vault Department has Tier Four High-Grade level inheritance,"

"Including cultivation techniques of all attributes, which are also extremely abundant!"

"Only those exceeding Tier Four Low-Grade can be exchanged through contribution points!" Zhao Xuan replied.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun’s originally excited mood sank again, if he could obtain several kinds of Tier Four High-Grade cultivation skills, spending all Spirit Stones would be worth it!

At the moment, only the Tier Four Puppet inheritance could be exchanged, so he opened his mouth to inquire about the price,

"Ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones would suffice!" Zhao Xuan gave a slight smile, perhaps seeing Zhou Xun a bit unhappy,

he added another sentence,

"Puppet Master inheritance is extremely rare, therefore the exchange price is somewhat high, if it were the common Talisman Master or Artifact Refiner inheritance, it would only require eight Spirit Stones!"

"I’ll take this Tier Four Puppet Master inheritance!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan was even happier, he did not expect Zhou Xun, though just an Early-Stage Nascent Soul, to be so affluent,

but recalling his feats of defeating Profound Bone King, it was understandable.

’Great Cultivator combat power, possessing such wealth, is indeed normal!’

So he asked again:

"Does Pavilion Master have other treasures needed?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"A full twenty-five Top-Grade Spirit Stones have emptied Zhou Mou’s fortune!"

Zhao Xuan nodded upon hearing this, and said:

"Since that is the case, please wait here, while I retrieve those two treasures, to deliver them to Pavilion Master!"

Having said this, he cupped his hands in salute and then swiftly headed outside, his steps appearing extremely light.

This time, however, he waited for a full half hour before finally seeing Zhao Xuan return.

"My apologies, my apologies, for keeping Pavilion Master waiting for so long!"

"It’s really the strict regulations of our Secret Vault Department, with multiple checkpoints when retrieving spiritual objects!" Upon seeing Zhou Xun, Zhao Xuan immediately apologized.

"No problem, the Secret Vault Department has a wide array of spiritual objects, a bit of strictness is only natural!"

"By the way, here are those twenty-five Spirit Stones, please Steward count them!" Zhou Xun casually waved his hand,

then patted his Storage Bag,

twenty-five Top-Grade Spirit Stones flowed out, landing on the table in front of the two, piled into a small hill.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan took out the two treasures Zhou Xun had exchanged for, and upon verifying they were correct, he stored the Spirit Stones into his pouch.

Business settled, Zhou Xun proceeded to bid farewell,

赵轩 then got up and personally escorted him to the Secret Vault Department’s door,

upon parting, Zhou Xun remembered something, so he paused his steps to ask,

"By the way, Steward Zhao, with your position in the Secret Vault Department, you must be very knowledgeable. I wonder if you have ever heard of ’Soul Stone’?"

"Naturally, I know of it, perhaps Daoist Zhou has seen it before!"

"After slaying Ghost Kings above Tier Four, a crystal remains within them, that crystal is the Soul Stone!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun got enlightened,

he couldn’t help remembering the time in Eastern Wilderness blocking a Ghostly Mist Rift when he encountered two Tier Four Ghost Kings,

unfortunately, both were devoured by the Cyan Ape,

otherwise upon returning, he could start cultivating the second layer of "Spirit Rhinoceros Cyan Light Pupil".

"Thank you Brother Zhao, after work someday, don’t forget to visit my Cave Mansion for a chat. I’ve brought lots of Spirit Tea from my hometown, a taste of exquisite!"

"Good, good, as long as Brother Zhou doesn’t mind my disturbances!" Zhao Xuan readily agreed, a powerful cultivator of the same tier is naturally worth befriending,

and for Zhou Xun, befriending a steward of the Secret Vault Department offers great convenience for the future!

After some polite exchanges, Zhou Xun took leave and then headed directly towards his Cave Mansion.

...

"Big Brother, how was it?"

Upon seeing Zhou Xun return, Wang Erniu curiously asked, True Monarch Tianci also curiously approached.

"The Secret Vault Department certainly lives up to its reputation for gathering world treasures, even ’Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng’, there are a few in stock!"

"It’s just that the exchange conditions are too harsh!" Zhou Xun sighed,

then went on to recount all of today’s experiences and the matter of contribution points in detail.

Upon hearing "Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng" requires a full four hundred ninety-nine contribution points, and the ’Celestial Spirit Wood Marrow Liquid’ Zhou Xun exchanged costing a full fifteen Top-Grade Spirit Stones,

Wang Erniu and True Monarch Tianci both couldn’t help but take a deep breath,

"This is too expensive!"

"Fortunately I didn’t go today, otherwise seeing desirable treasures that couldn’t be exchanged would be so painful!" Wang Erniu shook his head,

having just recently broken through to Nascent Soul, he was rather cash-strapped, having less than five Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and this is not calculating the dozen or so owed to Zhou Xun.

"What does the virtuous brother plan to do, heading to West Desert to slay Ghost Race?" True Monarch Tianci asked.

The fastest place to earn contribution points now is naturally the Ghost Realm channel at West Desert.

Zhou Xun heard this, nodded and shook his head.

"Yes and no,"

"I plan to first head to Xuzhou Danyang Prefecture and find a way to acquire the Heart Essence Blood of the ’Golden Feather Cloud-Stepping Eagle’,"

"Then head to West Desert to hunt Tier Four Ghost Kings for contribution and Soul Stones!"
