Chapter 1556 - 843: Entry-Level
For these people, passing the examination is clearly not their goal. Their goal is to seize a large number of herbs to secure a good position in the upcoming Elder recruitment. If they score sixty points from the herbs, they are allowed to choose a Yellow Rank Martial Technique. If they score eighty points, they can choose a High Rank Yellow Rank Martial Technique, and those who score one hundred points can choose a Mystic Rank Martial Technique.
This is undoubtedly tempting, so these people naturally want to loot for future benefits.
Lin Feng and Tang Sheng exchanged a glance. Neither of them were ordinary people and were long accustomed to such things, so this was not a challenge at all. Seeing a group of people who were almost like fat sheep, Lin Feng smiled faintly and said, "Brother Tang, let’s do it."
Tang Sheng chuckled a few times at this test and, like a specter, easily defeated these people, sending them out of the examination room one by one, leaving the herbs behind.
Tang Sheng planned to split the herbs evenly. However, Lin Feng said meaningfully, "Never mind, I don’t intend to make a name for myself."
After saying this, Lin Feng only selected a dozen herbs, enough to bring his score to sixty points. Tang Sheng then chuckled and said, "In that case, I won’t hold back."
These herbs were enough for Tang Sheng to surpass one hundred points, so he might garner attention from the Medicine King Pavilion.
Lin Feng didn’t care about this at all, politely saluting Tang Sheng and saying, "See you at the Medicine King Pavilion, Brother Tang."
"Alright, see you at the Medicine King Pavilion," Tang Sheng nodded slightly, but took more notice of Lin Feng.
Despite Lin Feng’s high cultivation, he surprisingly did not wish to stand out, puzzling Tang Sheng, who couldn’t quite discern Lin Feng’s intentions.
Afterward, Tang Sheng activated a talisman to teleport out and planned to seek apprenticeship with the Elders. Tang Sheng’s appearance indeed caused a scramble among the Elders, eventually attracting the attention of a Vice Sect Leader, who accepted him as a disciple.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng casually entered the Medicine King Pavilion, becoming an external disciple without any Elder accepting him, yet he acquired a Martial Technique named Mountain Opening Seal, which was quite similar to his Mountain Opening Saber Technique, categorized as a Yellow Rank Intermediate Martial Technique.
Upon joining the Medicine King Pavilion as an external disciple, one must complete many tasks to advance to Inner Sect Disciple, among which are tasks assigned by Elders carrying numerous Contribution Points. Contribution Points serve as the currency in the Medicine King Pavilion.
If one wishes to exchange for an herb with significant effects on the soul, Lin Feng noted that a Sixth Grade herb costs ten thousand Contribution Points, while a Fifth Grade one costs fifty thousand Contribution Points.
Lin Feng estimated that Hua Shengmi needed at least fifty thousand Contribution Points to awaken, a truly troublesome number, especially as a single task could at most offer a few hundred Contribution Points. In contrast, Contribution Points for Inner Sect Disciples could reach several hundred to over a thousand.
Lin Feng sighed deeply, realizing his mistake was not entering the Inner Sect was his preferred choice. Meanwhile, news of Tang Sheng reached that a Vice Sect Leader had brought him into the sect for cultivation.
The Hundred Treasure Pavilion, recognized alongside the Craftsmanship Pavilion and Task Pavilion within the Medicine King Pavilion, is essentially a general store selling everything from Cultivation Techniques to Martial Techniques and various rare items. Unlike the others, which only accept Contribution Points, the Hundred Treasure Pavilion allows exchange with Spirit Stones.
Lin Feng walked directly to the Hundred Treasure Pavilion’s sales area, for at Medicine King Peak, without a good map, the distribution of herbs is unclear, making herb collection tasks particularly difficult.
Maps are filled with various annotations, typically noting where specific herbs grow and where large quantities can be found. The better the map, the more herb types it includes, and even powerful Demon Beasts are marked for people to avoid danger. Thus, possessing a good map is crucial for smoothly operating within Medicine King Peak.
Business for maps at the Hundred Treasure Pavilion is booming, since most who come in are newcomers who understand the importance of maps, naturally flocking here to select maps.
"Are you here to select a map?" a child asked, eyes shimmering with a mixture of cunning and cuteness, and seeing Lin Feng alone, he couldn’t help but speak.
"Yes, little brother, how do I buy a map?" Lin Feng asked directly.
Upon hearing this, the child’s eyes rolled, saying, "I have three kinds of maps here. The first, the best kind, is worth a hundred Contribution Points, marking all herbs and Demon Beasts within ten thousand miles. The second is the second-grade map, marking herbs and Demon Beasts within a five-thousand-mile radius, worth fifty Contribution Points.
The third covers an area within a thousand miles, marking all herbs and Demon Beasts within this area, priced at five Contribution Points."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Give me a first-grade map,"
Currently, he only had one hundred and twenty Contribution Points, but for Lin Feng, swiftly finding herbs and upgrading his status was the most important.
