CHAPTER 206: CHAPTER 206: RETURNING TO CYAN LOTUS MOUNTAIN, WHO WILL USE THE FOUNDATION ESTABLISHMENT PILL

The numerous cultivators looked at the exchange list, each rubbing their hands in anticipation, eager to try.

At this time, if one’s merit points are insufficient, they can only lament not having worked hard to kill enemies and earn more merit points before, feeling envious and hitting their chests in regret.

According to the rules, merit points are not allowed to be exchanged or sold.

The only way to use merit points is within the Celestial Fire Palace; circulation and private trading are prohibited.

Otherwise, one will definitely be blacklisted by the Celestial Fire Palace.

With fifteen thousand merit points at hand, Lu Yuanshan naturally wanted to exchange for some good items.

For example, Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts, Tier Three Talismans, and Divine Beast mounts.

Other cultivators of the same tier could not exchange nearly as many merit points as Lu Yuanshan, not even half.

At this moment, Lu Yuanshan wanted too many things and was so busy looking that his eyes were dazzled.

But after all, merit points are limited and can only be used wisely to exchange for what is currently needed most.

After discussing with Lu Ping, they decided to only exchange for Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper and Foundation Establishment Pills.

Foundation Establishment Pills are quite incredible things, just what the Cyan Mountain Sect needs, and Zhiwei and Changfeng are both waiting for Foundation Establishment Pills to cultivate, which can bring new Foundation Establishment cultivators to the sect.

With Foundation Establishment cultivators, they can also be further cultivated into Crystallization cultivators in the future.

It’s even possible to look forward to cultivating a Golden Core Ancestor.

Among those participating in this anti-demon campaign, the number of Qi cultivators was extremely large, accounting for thirty percent of the total.

Therefore, after seeing that Foundation Establishment Pills were on the exchange list, they all lined up to exchange, creating quite the lively scene.

Fortunately, the Celestial Fire Palace had supplied enough Foundation Establishment Pills this time, with no shortage in stock.

There were even Crystallization cultivators specifically ’stocking up’ on Foundation Establishment Pills for future favors, sales, and such.

Regarding this phenomenon, the Celestial Fire Palace turned a blind eye.

Merit points are earned with one’s life; as long as you follow the rules and have enough merit points, you can exchange however you like, and they will satisfy you.

As for how to dispose of the items obtained afterward, it entirely depends on personal preference, and the Celestial Fire Palace will not interfere.

Not only Foundation Establishment Pills but also other high-tier elixirs are very popular, which is essentially profiting from the war.

Under normal cultivation, accumulating spirit stones to gather ten thousand spirit stones for purchasing a Foundation Establishment Pill is not easy.

A Qi cultivation loose cultivator would have to strive for twenty to thirty years.

Even for the Cyan Mountain Sect, with its current resource income, it would take about a year.

And as for Lu Yuanshan, he gathered ten thousand merit points, equivalent to ten thousand spirit stones, in less than ten days.

After waiting in line for a long time, when it was Lu Yuanshan’s turn, he successfully exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

This item, at ten thousand merit points per pill, is not considered expensive.

Receiving the Foundation Establishment Pill, Lu Yuanshan was inwardly thrilled, finally able to cultivate the second Foundation Establishment cultivator for the sect!

As for whether to cultivate Changfeng or Zhiwei, that will be discussed after returning.

The remaining five thousand merit points can be exchanged for five pieces of Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper.

Without thinking much, compared to other items, Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper is worth more.

With a system in place, such as spirit trees, cultivation techniques, and elixir formulas, Lu Ping can directly exchange through the mall, so there’s no need to exchange using merit points here.

Reputation points are much easier to acquire than merit points.

After all, if you want to obtain Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper again in the future, you’ll have to wait about a hundred years, so it’s better to stock up a few pieces.

And to obtain reputation points, just complete Doorway Affairs.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that Lu Changfeng, Song Minghui, and Zhang Nianchuan will also be able to cultivate the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique in the future, all of whom will need Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper.

Once the merit points were exhausted and five pieces of Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper were obtained, Lu Yuanshan carefully stored them in his storage bag, after which Lu Ping changed the subject.

"The visit to the Celestial Fire Palace ends here; let’s quickly board the Celestial Fire Palace’s flying ship and return to Cyan Lotus Mountain."

After getting the Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper, Lu Ping didn’t want to stay at the Celestial Fire Palace any longer, avoiding dreams and delays.

And it’s worth mentioning that those who accepted the invitation from the Celestial Fire Palace and participated in the anti-demon campaign will have the Celestial Fire Palace send flying ships to escort them back for safety.

Lu Yuanshan didn’t need to fly back by himself; he just needed to wait a bit and take the Celestial Fire Palace’s flying ship to Lingxi State and back to Cyan Lotus Mountain.

After waiting two days, a large fleet of flying ships departed, with half of them heading to Lingxi State.

Finally, I can go home.

Lu Ping caught a ride, saving some reputation points whenever possible.

The flying ship’s speed is very fast, far exceeding the travel time of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and in just half a day, they reached the borders of Lushan County, arriving above the Cyan Mountain Sect.

After returning to the Cyan Mountain Sect, Lu Changfeng and Lu Zhiwei immediately met with Lu Yuanshan to check his physical condition for any injuries.

Seeing Lu Yuanshan return safely, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Yuanshan recounted some battle stories at the Celestial Fire Palace, what he experienced, and the three siblings talked until nightfall, finally mentioning the Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper.

"In this trip assisting the Celestial Fire Palace in the anti-demon campaign, I exchanged for five pieces of Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper. For refining a lifebound flying sword, I only need one piece; the remaining four pieces are temporarily sealed for future use."

Lu Yuanshan expressed his thoughts.

He directed his gaze toward Lu Changfeng and Lu Zhiwei.

"The next important matter requires a discussion with you two."

With a pause, Lu Yuanshan deliberately created suspense and didn’t mention the Foundation Establishment Pill. "Which of you two wants to establish a foundation?"

"Foundation Establishment..."

Lu Changfeng mumbled a response in the form of a question: "As cultivators, who wouldn’t want to establish a foundation?"

"Little Sister, don’t you want to establish a foundation?"

Lu Zhiwei shook her head, straightforwardly answering: "I do."

Seeing their reactions, Lu Yuanshan smiled: "Then try establishing a foundation."

"Uh..."

This time, Lu Changfeng was somewhat speechless and, after a deliberation, said, "Without a Foundation Establishment Pill or Celestial Cyan Divine Wood and other heavenly treasures, I dare not risk foundation establishment!"

"I’m a bit timid."

Lu Changfeng didn’t mind his image, directly speaking his mind.

Lu Zhiwei, however, noticed Lu Yuanshan’s expression seemed to hide something, and couldn’t help but ask a question.

"Big Brother, did you and Father get more than just Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper on this trip to the Celestial Fire Palace?"

"Hahaha..."

Lu Yuanshan laughed heartily, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Can’t hide anything from you, Little Sister."

With a final word, Lu Yuanshan took out the jade box containing the Foundation Establishment Pill and presented it in front of the two.

"Here is a Foundation Establishment Pill, exchanged with merit points at the Celestial Fire Palace, to satisfy one of you in establishing a foundation."

Faced with another choice, Lu Yuanshan looked somewhat troubled: "But to whom should this Foundation Establishment Pill go..."

"Father, do you have any instructions?"

Lu Yuanshan himself couldn’t make up his mind, simply asking Lu Ping, seeing what Lu Ping would say.
