Chapter 311
"How much spiritual iron is considered equivalent to the Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit?" Xu Yang asked.
Duan Changji shook his head: "That's hard to say. Top-tier spiritual iron, a piece the size of a fingernail can exchange for ten Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruits. Poor spiritual iron, three or five catties can't exchange for one Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit."
Xu Yang nodded: "Is there a catalog for exchange?"
"Yes, I'll go get it."
Duan Changji stood up and soon returned with a book, handing it to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang flipped it open and saw the exchange ratios of various spiritual irons and spiritual herbs for contribution points here at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
"Essence of Red Gold, one tael exchanges for thirty contribution points!"
He soon found a type of spiritual iron he had—Essence of Red Gold.
The piece of Essence of Red Gold he had was only the size of a pigeon egg and should weigh about a catty. Added to the contribution points he currently had, it should be enough to exchange for the Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit.
Xu Yang immediately took the Essence of Red Gold out of the bag: "Deacon Duan, please take a look and see if this is Essence of Red Gold."
"It is indeed Essence of Red Gold."
Duan Changji hadn't even taken it yet, but he had already confirmed it was Essence of Red Gold.
"Are you sure you want to use this piece of Essence of Red Gold to exchange for contribution points? One tael of Essence of Red Gold can exchange for thirty contribution points, but if you want to use contribution points to come here to exchange for Essence of Red Gold, it's not thirty for one tael, but fifty contribution points for one tael," he reminded Xu Yang.
Inner sect disciples could mobilize part of the sect's resources, but the sect wasn't a place for you to take advantage. In and out, the sect would eat you on both ends.
Xu Yang had known this long ago and nodded: "Sure!"
Duan Changji stood up and took a scale. After weighing, this piece of Essence of Red Gold weighed one catty and three taels, which could be exchanged for three hundred and ninety contribution points.
Xu Yang took out another two hundred and ten contribution points and handed them to Duan Changji, saying: "I want to exchange for one Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit."
Duan Changji smiled and took the things, saying: "The Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit is not in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall right now; it has to be transferred from Medicine King Peak. Come back tomorrow to pick it up."
Xu Yang knew that things like spiritual herbs couldn't be kept in a pile at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall at all times; whoever needed them would be given them.
He bowed and said: "Thank you, Deacon Duan."
The two left the side hall, and Xu Yang left immediately.
Before he reached the courtyard, he saw Gao Lin standing at the door of his courtyard from afar.
Xu Yang stepped forward and bowed: "Greetings, Senior Brother Gao."
"Junior Brother Xu, you are confused."
Gao Lin was heartbroken: "How could you bear to spend so many contribution points to buy a pill formula that is of no use?"
Xu Yang was stunned. The matter had actually reached Gao Lin's ears. No wonder he felt the way those people looked at him in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall was a bit strange just now. He hadn't expected the matter to spread so quickly.
Xu Yang shook his head: "Senior Brother Gao, the pill formula is not of no use to me!"
He could only explain up to here. Being misunderstood was something he had prepared for long ago.
Seeing him still being stubborn at this time, Gao Lin didn't know what to say and said: "You, acting so recklessly, have angered Master. He has punished you to go to Moon Lake to guard it. Be prepared mentally.
I hope you can be more mature after going there and understand the importance of cultivation."
He had been punished by Elder Huoyun!
This was something he hadn't expected.
But thinking of Elder Huoyun's expectations for him, it was normal. His behavior in the eyes of outsiders was indeed putting the cart before the horse and acting recklessly.
"Is Master okay?"
Gao Lin shook his head: "Master is a Heaven Origin martial artist; what could be wrong? He is just angry that you are not attending to your proper duties. Go there and reflect well. After a while, when Master's anger subsides, I will plead for you again and let Master change you back."
Xu Yang nodded: "When do I go to Moon Lake?"
He didn't care much. Inner disciples had to contribute to the sect every year and guard the industries.
If everyone was like him, staying in the sect and doing nothing, the sect would have collapsed long ago. Even Jiang Fan, the young marquis, had been sent out for a long time.
"Next month!"
Next month, huh?
The time was still ample, enough for him to refine a furnace of Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pills. By the time he went to Moon Lake, he wouldn't have to worry about not having resources to cultivate.
Gao Lin soon left!
The next day, he successfully obtained the Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. Duan Changji's look at him was also strange.
Because after Xu Yang left, he knew that Xu Yang had exchanged for the Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit. As a deacon of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, he naturally knew that the Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit was one of the two spiritual herbs needed to refine the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill.
Returning to the courtyard, Xu Yang took the Dragon Whisker Root and the medicinal herbs for refining the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill he had on hand, carried the Cold Abyss on his back, and immediately went down Li Huo Peak quickly, heading straight for Qingyang City.
A quarter of an hour later, he appeared at the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.
"Greetings, Master Xu!" Zhou Yong smiled and welcomed him, secretly shocked in his heart.
Although he was in Qingyang City, he also knew that Xu Yang had become fifth on the Top Ten List.
He hadn't expected that the person he had favored back then would exceed everyone's expectations time and time again.
"Help me see if these herbs can be matched!"
Xu Yang handed the copied list of medicinal herbs he was still missing to Zhou Yong.
"Yes!" Zhou Yong scanned it quickly and immediately gave a positive answer.
"Then match them according to the quantities above, and also match a set of medicinal herbs for refining Origin-Gathering Pills."
The Origin-Gathering Pill was for Xu Qing.
He would use Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pills for cultivation in the future.
"Please wait a moment, Master Xu."
Half an hour later, all the medicinal herbs were matched, and Xu Yang paid for the herbs and left the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.
"I must find a way to get some money!"
This time, buying the medicinal herbs cost over one thousand taels, and he only had two or three thousand taels of silver left on him.
Excluding the two main spiritual herb ingredients, the remaining medicinal herbs for one set cost over one thousand taels, and Xu Qing had started learning alchemy, which also required a large sum of money to buy medicinal herbs for practice.
Finding an empty alley, he put on a bamboo hat and soon came to the courtyard he had bought, entering the underground alchemy room.
Taking out all the medicinal herbs and arranging them, Xu Yang began to clean the alchemy furnace and light the fire.
Refining the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill for the first time, he was cautious. Recalling all the processes of alchemy in his mind, he began to add medicinal herbs to the alchemy furnace.
The refining of the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill took far more time than the Origin-Gathering Pill.
A whole night passed, and the refining of the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill hadn't ended. It wasn't until the next morning that a burst of pill fragrance came out.
"Bang bang..."
The furnace lid trembled. Xu Yang didn't dare to be negligent, waving his hand to send out a burst of Gang Qi to extinguish the firewood. With five fingers, he quickly lifted the furnace lid, only to see ten golden Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pills the size of pigeon eggs lying quietly at the bottom of the alchemy furnace.
Ten pills refined!
"Success!"
Xu Yang couldn't help but smile. With these ten Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pills, he would soon reach the major success stage of Marrow Cleansing.
Moreover, compared to things like Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pills and Origin-Gathering Pills, the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill could be considered a strategic resource, which could be taken out to exchange for spiritual herbs and spiritual iron.
Collecting spiritual herbs and spiritual iron in the future would become much simpler.
Taking out the jade box he had prepared long ago, he soon put away the Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pills.
