Chapter 292: Exchanging Resources for Contribution Points
Tang Yin continued to browse the jade token for suitable missions with good rewards.
After a couple of minutes, Tang Yin remerged from the jade token. He had found a suitable mission for himself.
A faint golden light travelled from the jade token into Tang Yin’s Personal Identification Token.
Tang Yin sent his divine sense into his token. He was greeted with 4 sections.
’Name: Demonic Asura’
’Contribution Points: 0’
’View Exchange Market’
’Current Mission: Assassinate Duan Long’
Tang Yin chose the ’Current Mission’ option with his divine sense. A new string of information displayed itself.
[Mission: Assassinate Duan Long]
[Description: Duan Long is an Early-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator, he specializes in the Principles of Wind. He is the Patriarch of the Duan Family, a Rank 6 Organization.]
[Difficulty: Tier 7]
[Location: Great Breeze Region’s Duan Family]
[Objective: Kill Duan Long. Preserve his head as proof of assassination.]
[Reward: 15,000 Contribution Points.]
After confirming that everything was normal and nothing had changed, Tang Yin turned his attention to Liu Hao who was standing on the side.
"Fellow Cultivator Liu, how will the fuming Rank 7 Organization behind the Duan Family be dealt with after they learn of Duan Long’s death?" Tang Yin asked Liu Hao.
Liu Hao already knew what mission he had accepted. It was part of his job as a Keeper to know all the missions that cultivators in his Branch took on.
"Don’t worry about the aftermath of Duan Long’s death. That will be dealt with by the person who commissioned his assassination. All you need to do is kill Duan Long and bring his head back to me. There will be no future consequences, rest assured." Liu Hao explained and reassured Tang Yin.
This was also the reason why Rogue Cultivators accepted assassination missions. They did not have to fear the retaliation of the Rank 7 and maybe even the Rank 8 Organizations behind their victim.
Either the Neutral Cultivation Alliance or the person who commissioned the mission would deal with the aftermath. The assassinator would only act as a sword, nothing else.
Tang Yin nodded. He already knew this but wanted to confirm this fact to make sure. After all, he did not want to be on the constant run from a Rank 7 Organization due to a measly 15,000 contribution points.
"Fellow Cultivator Liu, I would like to exchange some of my resources for contribution points." Tang Yin suddenly said.
Liu Hao was a bit surprised, but he still responded, "Sure, which resources would you like to exchange with?"
It was only a bit uncommon for cultivators to exchange their resources for contribution points, not rare. It happened from time to time, so Liu Hao was not too surprised.
"A couple of Rank 7 Demonic Beast corpses." Liu Hao was even more surprised. Almost all cultivators had a use for Demonic Beast corpses. In fact, some of the desperate ones would even trade in a majority of their contribution points for Demonic Beast corpses and parts.
Swallowing his surprise, Liu Hao responded, "The seventh floor is too small to do the exchange. Let’s go somewhere."
Tang Yin nodded. And so, the duo left the pagoda and went to a nearby mountain.
Liu Hao and Tang Yin both shrouded the mountain in their divine senses to make sure that nobody could witness the exchange.
Tang Yin took out the corpses of the Lava Serpent, Three-Tailed Ice Wolf, Thunder Scale Lizard, Diamondback Bison and the 3 other Rank 7 Demonic Beasts he had killed on his way to the Neutral Cultivation Alliance Branch.
"These corpses... Lava Serpent, Three-Tailed Ice Wolf, Thunder Scale Lizard, Diamondback Bison, Mystic Shadow Fox, Jade Eye Tiger and Iron Fang Bear!" Liu Hao shouted with shock.
Tang Yin was quite impressed with Liu Hao’s knowledge. He only knew these Demonic Beasts due to Tian Huang’s jade tokens. But Liu Hao had relied on his own knowledge to name them individually.
"And these." Tang Yin took out the Demonic Beast Cores and Beast Souls of all the Rank 7 Demonic Beasts, including the Ironclad Armadillos’.
"Altogether that’s four Low-tier Rank 7 Demonic Beasts, three Mid-tier Rank 7 Demonic Beasts and 1 High-tier Rank 7 Demonic Beast." Liu Hao did the calculations.
He calculated the worth of their Demonic Beast Cores, Beast Souls and their special properties such as the Jade Eye Tiger’s Jade Eye, the Thunder Scale Lizard’s Thunder Scales, etc. He had to calculate anything that was worth even a single contribution point.
After a good half an hour of intense inspection and calculations, Liu Hao took a deep breath.
"The Lava Serpent is worth 6,700 contribution points. The Thunder Scale Lizard is worth 8,000 contribution points. The Diamondback Bison is worth 5,800 contribution points. The Three-Tailed Ice Wolf is worth..." Liu Hao continued to value each corpse in terms of contribution points.
"In total, all of these corpses and parts are worth 109,000 contribution points." After saying this, Liu Hao wiped the sweat off his forehead. He was shocked to the core. This was the second time he had ever traded so many resources for contribution points all at once.
The 4 Low-tier Rank 7 Demonic Beast corpses and parts were worth 38,500 contribution points.
The 3 Mid-tier Rank 7 Demonic Beast corpses and parts were worth 43,400 contribution points.
The single High-tier Rank 7 Demonic Beast was worth a staggering 27,100 contribution points.
All of that amounted to a colossal number of 109,000 contribution points!
This was almost enough to get access to a Holy Land for 1 year!
Tang Yin smiled. This was one of the reasons why he had decided to exchange these Demonic Beast corpses for contribution points.
The 1st was for contribution points. The 2nd was to shock Liu Hao and make him wary of his strength.
Since Tang Yin was able to kill High-tier Rank 7 Demonic Beasts, his strength would be powerful even among Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivators. He might even be strong enough to battle some weak High-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivators in Liu Hao’s mind.
"Fellow Cultivator, are you sure you want to exchange these Demonic Beast corpses and parts for contribution points?" Liu Hao wanted to confirm Tang Yin’s choice. This was a big exchange after all.
"I am sure. Please do the exchange." Tang Yin repeated himself.
Liu Hao did not say any more. He stored away the Demonic Beast corpses and parts in his storage ring. He then brought out a grey jade token and sent his divine sense into it.
A moment later, he emerged from the grey jade token and looked towards Tang Yin.
Tang Yin understood the meaning of his gaze. He silently brought out his Personal Identification Token and handed it to Liu Hao.
Liu Hao took Tang Yin’s Personal Identification Token and sent some energy into it. Then he gave it back to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin checked his Personal Identification Token with his divine sense. The contents made him smile.
’Name: Demonic Asura’
’Contribution Points: 109,000’
’View Exchange Market’
’Current Mission: Assassinate Duan Long’
"Thank you. There is one more item I wish to exchange for contribution points." As Tang Yin spoke, he brought out the Tier 3 Holy Saint Brush.
"That’s a Tier 3 Artifact!" Liu Hao almost shouted.
Tier 3 Artifacts were extremely rare. The main reason for this was the lack of Tier 3 Forgers. There was only a handful in the entire Bright Yang Continent.
A vast majority of Early-stage and Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivators did not possess a Tier 3 Artifact. Only when one reached the Late-stage would one generally come in possession of a Tier 3 Artifact.
"Forgive me, but I will need to confirm this Tier 3 Artifact’s authenticity and quality. This will determine the amount of contribution points it’s worth." Liu Hao himself only had a single Tier 3 Artifact. He had obtained it after much difficulty.
"No problem." Tang Yin gave the Tier 3 Holy Saint Brush to Liu Hao for appraisal.
Liu Hao took the Holy Saint Brush and carefully investigated it with his divine sense. However, this was not enough. He took out a couple more Tier 4 and Tier 5 Artifacts with the ability of appraisal to further inspect the Holy Saint Brush.
After a good 10 minutes, Liu Hao finally finished his appraisal of the Holy Saint Brush.
"It is indeed a Tier 3 Artifact. It’s quite a rare one too. It must be related to Array Formations, right?" Liu Hao asked with a much calmer voice than before.
"That is correct. The Holy Saint Brush can be used to..." Tang Yin spent a few minutes explaining to Liu Hao the functions and abilities of the Holy Saint Brush. He basically just told Liu Hao what Tian Huang had told him word for word.
As Tang Yin spoke about the Holy Saint Brush, Liu Hao became more shocked with every passing moment. According to his estimations, the Holy Saint Brush was one of the superior and rarer Tier 3 Artifacts. It was worth a literal fortune.
