Chapter 127: Phantom Spirit Pill, Wanxin's Visit

Wei Zhongxian was like a balloon filled with air, liable to explode completely at any moment.

Wang Jianqiang did not dare to continue provoking him.

After bidding a cordial farewell to Yang Wanxin, he left the Pill Tower.

He did not fly directly to his residence, but instead walked along the main street.

While familiarizing himself with the environment inside Shenfeng City, he moved closer to his residence.

After some observation, he discovered that from the outside of Shenfeng City to the inside, the concentration of Spirit Qi was constantly increasing.

The buildings were also becoming increasingly exquisite.

The residence assigned to Wang Jianqiang was an independent small courtyard located in the core area.

The small courtyard did not look large, and was not even as spacious as the small courtyard he had in the Hehuan Sect Inner Sect.

"Is this the treatment for being first in the assessment?"

Wang Jianqiang curled his lips.

Apart from the surrounding heaven and earth Spirit Qi being a bit denser, it did not seem as good as he had imagined.

He arrived in front of the small courtyard's gate and pressed the key forward.

A streak of Spirit Light immediately shot out from the key and landed in the center of the two tall gates.

The space in front of the gate immediately rotated and twisted, turning into a spatial opening.

He stepped forward and walked into the opening.

Space shifted.

Wang Jianqiang only felt his vision blur, and when his sight recovered, what met his eyes was a vast space filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

A clear stream flowed through the flowers and grass, making a gurgling sound, and from time to time, fish leaped out of the stream water.

At the end of the space, an exquisite courtyard was built, its style identical to the exterior of the small courtyard he had seen while standing outside the gate.

The Spirit Qi between heaven and earth was astonishingly dense, and wisps of atomized Spirit Qi drifted before his eyes from time to time.

Under the shroud of the spirit mist, it was like a fairyland on earth.

Looking at everything around him, Wang Jianqiang's expression had long since become dazed.

The area of this space was vast enough to equal half of the Hehuan Sect, far larger than the small courtyard he had seen outside the gate.

It was clearly a space opened up by special means.

Previously, he was still complaining that his treatment as the first-place winner was not as good as he had imagined, but he did not expect to be slapped in the face in the blink of an eye.

This treatment was simply far more exaggerated than he had imagined!

After briefly familiarizing himself with the surrounding environment, he rose from the ground and flew toward the small courtyard.

……

Walking into the small courtyard, what met his eyes was an exquisite four-story Pavilion.

He walked into the Pavilion.

The first floor was a guest area, with a spacious and imposing hall.

The second floor was a rest area.

The third floor was an Alchemy area, equipped with more than one Pill Furnace.

As for the fourth floor...

The moment he arrived on the fourth floor, Wang Jianqiang thought he had come to some shop.

Many items were placed here.

There were Medicinal Herbs, Pill Furnaces, finished Pills, and even Pill Formulas!

However, these items were not gifted to him.

Next to every item was a label marking its price.

And what was needed to purchase items here was not Spirit Stones, but Contribution Points.

Seeing the unfamiliar name "Contribution Point".

Wang Jianqiang could not help but be stunned.

What kind of thing was this?

Unable to figure it out, he did not dwell on it too much, intending to ask about it in the Pill Tower when he had time.

Afterward, he came to the location where the Pill Formulas were placed and began to look through them.

There were thousands of Pill Formulas here; the lowest grade was a Second-tier Pill Formula, and the highest grade even reached Level 5!

However, surprise was surprise.

He had no use for Level 4 or 5 Pill Formulas for the time being.

Without checking too much, his main attention was entirely focused on the Second and Third-tier Pill Formulas.

He did not know if it was because of his Five-Element Spiritual Root, but although the quality of his Spirit Root had already been improved once, after such a long time, and after refining a large number of Pills, his cultivation still remained stagnant at Foundation Establishment Perfection, without the slightest feeling of a breakthrough.

He could feel that the Perfect Profound Origin Pill no longer had any effect on his cultivation improvement.

He was now urgently looking for a type of Pill that could assist him in Golden Core formation.

Originally, Wang Jianqiang had not held much hope.

However, after some searching, he actually found a Pill Formula that could assist in Golden Core formation.

The Pill was named Phantom Spirit Pill, a Third-tier Low-grade Pill.

This Pill was extremely peculiar; one Pill Formula contained seven sets of recipes.

It could refine Phantom Spirit Pills of seven different attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder.

After a Cultivator consumed the Phantom Spirit Pill corresponding to their own constitution, they could manifest a False Core within their body.

Using the False Core as a foundation, they would continuously inject cultivation, eventually evolving it into a real Golden Core.

Significantly increase the probability of Golden Core.

After discovering the Pill Formula for the Phantom Spirit Pill, Wang Jianqiang's desire to obtain Contribution Points suddenly became intense.

He immediately left his residence and arrived at the Pill Tower.

After inquiring, he indeed received a response from the Pill Tower's artifact spirit.

The so-called Contribution Points can be seen as the currency within the Assessment Space.

All resources within Shenfeng City require Contribution Points to be purchased.

The primary way to obtain Contribution Points is by accepting missions within the Shenfeng Pavilion.

Besides this, challenging the Heaven-Reaching Tower and climbing the Shenfeng Ranking can also earn Contribution Point rewards.

The Heaven-Reaching Tower and the Shenfeng Ranking both test combat power, which is not the area of expertise for a Specialized Cultivator.

For a Specialized Cultivator, there is actually only one true way to obtain Contribution Points, and that is by accepting missions.

Wang Jianqiang did not feel unbalanced about this.

Compared to ordinary examinees who are constantly fighting for their lives, the assessment environment for Specialized examinees is far more peaceful.

Given such an advantage, it is normal for the paths to obtaining Contribution Points to be a bit singular.

After leaving the Pill Tower, he went directly to the Shenfeng Pavilion.

Because the time since entering the Assessment Space was still short, no ordinary examinees from the wilderness had entered the city yet, and there were only a few hundred Specialized Cultivators in the vast city.

When he walked into the Shenfeng Pavilion, there were only a sparse dozen or so figures selecting missions.

It appeared very desolate.

Sensing someone had arrived, these people only took a glance before withdrawing their gazes.

Wang Jianqiang calmly walked into the interior of the hall.

He looked toward a massive light screen.

The light screen displayed dense rows of small characters.

There were hunting missions, herb-gathering missions, missions to find Spirit Minerals... all kinds of missions existed.

Among them, there was even a mission to sweep the streets!

His eyes brightened.

Then he shook his head again.

Although sweeping the streets had no difficulty, it was too time-consuming.

Moreover, the reward in Contribution Points was too small; it was not worth the effort.

He searched for a good while longer and finally found a mission belonging to an Alchemist among these dense rows of missions.

"Refine any one hundred Third-tier Low-grade Pills within three months; reward: three hundred Attribute Points."

Seeing this mission, Wang Jianqiang was delighted and immediately accepted it.

He happened to have some Medicinal Herbs for refining Jade Spirit Pills on him, which could be used to complete this mission.

The Phantom Spirit Pill Pill Formula only required two hundred and forty Contribution Points.

If he completed this mission, not only would he have enough Contribution Points to buy the Phantom Spirit Pill Pill Formula, but he would also have enough to buy the Medicinal Herbs!

Half an hour later, Wang Jianqiang returned to his residence and immediately began refining the Jade Spirit Pill.

Three days later.

Wang Jianqiang, who was in the middle of Alchemy, hooked his finger, and a Jade Spirit Pill flew out from the Pill Furnace.

"That's the twentieth one."

He put this Pill away and was about to continue refining.

Suddenly, he sensed that the Array outside had been triggered.

His Spirit Sense merged into the Array, and he immediately saw the beautiful figure waiting outside the main gate.

"Yang Wanxin?"

His eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the passage leading to this space.
