150: Chapter 150 The Purple Jade Pill is in hand!

"What is this?! How did you do this?" The old man's tone was no longer calm, but rather shocked.

All the surrounding Cultivators looked over with surprised expressions.

Especially the young Cultivator who had received Chen Changqing; he was somewhat curious now, wondering what kind of treasure the person before him had brought out to shock his own Senior Martial Uncle to this extent.

"Little friend, where did you obtain this kind of thing?" Realizing he had lost his composure, the old man dismissed everyone, then casually set up a Formation to enclose the two of them inside before speaking to ask.

"Senior, this Tier 4 meta-magnetic ore and the rest of the meta-magnetic ore were fortunately obtained by Junior under Mo River," Chen Changqing replied.

"Under Mo River? Mo River indeed has meta-magnetic ore. Little friend, from exactly which direction did you obtain this Tier 4 meta-magnetic ore?" After pondering for a moment, the old man questioned further.

Chen Changqing recounted what he had encountered previously, though he glossed over the most important matters.

"Mn, I didn't expect Little friend's Opportunity to be so profound. With these resources of yours, I've made a rough estimate: the Jade Spirit Flower and purple moon grass are worth 80,000 contribution points, and the Tier 2 demonic cores and Tier 1 demonic cores total 72,000 contribution points.

As for these meta-magnetic ores, 80,000 catties of Tier 2 meta-magnetic ore are worth 52,000 contribution points, while 2,000 catties of Tier 3 meta-magnetic ore are worth 100,000 contribution points. As for this final piece of Tier 4 meta-magnetic ore, it is worth at least... 200,000 contribution points." When mentioning the final Tier 4 meta-magnetic ore, the old man paused for a moment before explaining.

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing remained calm on the surface while his heart was incomparably excited. Although the old man might have shortchanged him on that final piece of Tier 4 meta-magnetic ore, even after taking a twenty percent discount, these resources actually exceeded 500,000 contribution points.

"Little friend, take it. This is the reward list for this time." The old man took out a piece of paper and handed it over.

Chen Changqing received it with both hands, took a look, and sucked in a breath of cold air inwardly.

"This? This ziyu pill actually costs 250,000 contribution points. Why is it so expensive? Wasn't it said that this time's ziyu pills are twice as many as before?" Chen Changqing muttered to himself.

"Heh, does Little friend have some misunderstanding about the ziyu pill? Did you think you could secure a ziyu pill with 200,000 contribution points?" The old man sneered.

"Senior, please enlighten me." Feigning deafness to the old man's sneer, Chen Changqing made a request.

"Considering how sensible Little friend is, it's not like this old man cannot explain. Do you know what the value of a single ziyu pill is?" said the old man.

Chen Changqing shook his head.

"Its value is roughly between 200,000 and 300,000 Spirit Stones. The so-called 200,000 contribution points merely granting the Opportunity to compete for a ziyu pill is nothing more than a ruse used by those Purple Mansion factions to confuse you Foundation Establishment Cultivators."

"But Junior..."

The old man stopped Chen Changqing and continued, "You want to say that every Foundation Establishment Cultivator who comes to this old man knows the approximate value? Wrong, completely wrong! Every Foundation Establishment Cultivator who comes to this old man can only see the corresponding list. As for why this old man does this, the reason? Heh, just had nothing better to do."

The old man chuckled, giving a reason that left even Chen Changqing speechless. So you Purple Mansion Masters of the Yuxu Sect are all acting so shamelessly.

However, he didn't dare show anything on his outside, instead saying respectfully, "Senior is truly extraordinary; I imagine those Foundation Establishment Cultivators would never dream in a million years that Senior would pull this stunt."

"Alright, hurry up and see what you want to exchange for?" The old man waved his hand, greatly pleased by Chen Changqing's flattery, his eyes carrying a hint of satisfaction.

"Senior, I wish to exchange for a ziyu pill, but Junior has not yet reached the Perfection of the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment. Can... can this be done?"

"It's fine. The Sect has long considered this. As long as a Cultivator has entered the Zifu Secret Realm and exchanged for a ziyu pill, even if the exchanging Cultivator dies, their Family can still rely on this to make an exchange at our Sect," the old man explained.

"Understood. Thank you, Senior, for the clarification," Chen Changqing thanked him, then continued to look over the list. He still had 250,004 contribution points in his hands.

Although he could exchange for another ziyu pill, he didn't even know when the first ziyu pill would be used right now. If he used all of them for exchanges, it would not be of any help to their current strength.

"Senior, I wish to exchange for those six meta-magnetic flying swords and those 80,000 catties of meta-magnetic ore."

After careful consideration, he decided he still wanted to exchange for these meta-magnetic ores. As long as he refined thirty Flying Swords, his strength would take another leap forward.

"Mn, 174,000 remaining."

"Senior, exchange for three more foundation establishment pills, two bottles of Low Grade Tier 3 yangshen pills, a top-tier Tier 2 defensive Magical Artifact, the Five Elements Shield, and exchange all the remainder into Spirit Stones." Chen Changqing exchanged all remaining 170,000 contribution points in one go.

The old man immediately took out the items Chen Changqing needed. As for the remaining ziyu pill, Chen Changqing could come get it whenever he wanted it.

After receiving his rewards, Chen Changqing immediately bowed and intended to head to the Yuxu Sect to see Li Qingling, and incidentally express his gratitude to Master Baiye.

He had come to the Yuxu Sect quite a few times and understood the situation within the Yuxu Sect quite well. However, just as he was about to enter the mountain gate, he was directly ordered not to enter. Currently, the entire Yuxu Sect was on high alert to prevent petty villains from causing trouble.

Just as he was hesitating on how to see Li Qingling, Li Qingling suddenly appeared right in front of him.

"Brother, you're finally back," Li Qingling said happily, crossing the mountain gate and coming directly before Chen Changqing.

She had not been having a good time these past few days. Ever since she heard that a Purple Mansion Master from the Anti-Immortal Alliance had appeared in the Secret Realm, she worried about Chen Changqing every day. If Master Baiye hadn't forbidden her from coming out, she would have long since headed to the Secret Realm.

However, it was precisely because she had begged Master Baiye that Master Baiye had allowed her own Junior Brother to go rescue Chen Changqing.

"You've worked hard. It must have been quite troublesome, right?" Chen Changqing said with heartache.

"It's a small matter. My Master is actually quite easy to talk to. As long as it is within her capability, asking her for help with minor matters isn't troublesome, provided it doesn't violate any principles." Li Qingling shook her head.

"That aside, Brother, something happened within our Family." Remembering something, Li Qingling furrowed her brows slightly and led Chen Changqing toward a secluded corner.

"What is it? Could it be related to that Anti-Immortal Alliance?" Chen Changqing frowned tightly.

Li Qingling nodded, and every subsequent sentence was transmitted via voice transmission, "We aren't very clear on the details yet. We only know that Tenth Uncle told them not to return to Qingyang Mountain, and then during this period, they arranged for several Genius members of the Family to come to Wuyue Mountain."

"So I guess something might have happened over at the Family, and it's very likely that the Anti-Immortal Alliance has targeted Tenth Uncle and Sixth Brother and the others."

"What?" Chen Changqing frowned. He had learned from Zou Qi that the Anti-Immortal Alliance had heart-corroding pills to control Cultivators.

Could it be that Tenth Uncle and Sixth Brother had both been controlled?

He had a bad suspicion in his heart: if their Chen Family was controlled, could the Zhao Family and Li Family also be controlled?

No, these matters could not be allowed to be known by the Yuxu Sect. Otherwise, would they wipe out their Chen Family just like they treated other families, especially since he had just received the reward of a ziyu pill?
