Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 497 - 465 Lu Zhiwei’s Care
Generally speaking, the garrison period for a strategic location on the front line is one month.
When a month is about to end, a new battle team will arrive to take over responsibility for garrisoning.
This time, Lu Lingjun brought another Profound-level team to the Black Flood Dragon River garrison to take over from Lu Yuanshan’s team.
"Sect Leader Lu, you’ve all worked hard during this month’s time."
Lu Lingjun, still fond of talking, greeted Lu Yuanshan and others as soon as he saw them.
Lu Yuanshan responded with a faint smile, his gaze sweeping over the flying ship, appraising this Profound-level team.
The leader was a young Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator, judging by his attire, he was from the Profound Cyan Sect.
About thirty percent of the other team members were also disciples of the Profound Cyan Sect.
The remaining cultivators were from the Giant Peak Sect, Nine Cold Mountain, and Spirit Sword Sect.
Among them, Lu Yuanshan spotted someone familiar.
Elder Lin Zhiyin of the Spirit Sword Sect.
At that moment, as Lu Yuanshan was observing, Lin Zhiyin sensed his gaze. Upon seeing Lu Yuanshan’s eyes, a trace of excitement flickered in her eyes.
"Senior, it’s you."
Lin Zhiyin immediately spoke, her tone filled with deep respect.
"Oh, you know each other."
Lu Lingjun, seeing this situation, couldn’t help but laugh.
"Since some of you know each other, you can handle this task transition yourselves, saving me from saying more."
Lin Zhiyin, leading a group of Spirit Sword Sect disciples, was the first to leap off the flying ship and started talking with Lu Yuanshan.
The subject was how Lu Yuanshan had rescued Lin Zhiyin’s group by slaying the Golden Rhino in Cold Water Town.
Around them, upon hearing that Lu Yuanshan had slain a Tier Three Demon Beast Golden Rhino for the Spirit Sword Sect cultivators, Xuu Qingci and Xu Shouye’s expressions shifted, feeling incredulous.
This Cyan Mountain Sect leader’s strength is truly profound and immeasurable.
Such a promising cultivator should never be provoked.
In the next half an incense stick’s time, Lu Yuanshan completed the transition with the Profound-level team led by Lin Zhiyin, and then, at Lu Lingjun’s invitation, returned to the Purple Fire Castle aboard the Dubhe Institute’s flying ship.
During this garrison task, Lu Yuanshan’s team did not suffer any casualties.
After returning to the Purple Fire Castle and resting for more than an hour, everyone’s battle merit points arrived.
This included Lu Yuanshan, Lu Zhiwei, Xuu Qingci, Xu Shouye, and Han Youdao among five Foundation Establishment cultivators, as well as other Qi cultivators, all earning 3,000 battle merit points.
These were the battle merits for the garrison task, while those for slaying demon beasts were counted separately.
Taking advantage of this rest time, under Lu Ping’s suggestion, Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei both began to carefully review their accumulated battle merit points.
Firstly, Lu Yuanshan checked his battle merit token.
Lu Yuanshan found that his current battle merit points had reached 96,682 points.
He was only a little over 3,000 points short of 100,000 battle merit points.
This amount of battle merit was within Lu Ping’s expectations.
After all, Lu Yuanshan had never slacked in his efforts to earn battle merit points.
And Lu Zhiwei, his little sister, had accumulated 22,052 battle merit points.
Compared to Lu Yuanshan, a prodigy, Lu Zhiwei’s battle merit points exceeded those of Xuu Qingci and Xu Shouye, who were in the same realm, by several thousand points.
Killing a Tier Two Demon Beast could get you only 100 battle merit points.
A Tier One Demon Beast would yield 20 points.
The demon beasts in the beast tide were mostly Tier One Demon Beasts.
Judging by Lu Zhiwei’s battle merit points, she must have slain over a thousand demon beasts.
"Yuanshan, from this father’s observation, it seems your cultivation has already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage; might you attempt a breakthrough to the Crystallization Stage soon? Are you stuck at this cultivation bottleneck?"
Lu Ping asked, as he and Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei were in a three-person discussion.
"Father, currently, I do feel signs of my cultivation loosening, and I can attempt a breakthrough to the Crystallization Stage."
"Hmm, unlike breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, if this breakthrough to the Crystallization Stage goes smoothly, it can be completed in a few days."
"That Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species will mature in about a month; we should plan early to ensure you reach the Crystallization Stage soon."
"You’ve all seen the Resource Exchange Catalog from the Dubhe Institute. Among the many cultivation resources listed, I believe the Five Elements Crystals are the most worthwhile to exchange for first."
Lu Ping slowly communicated.
When the Eight Great Sects and cultivators from Nine Cold Mountain arrived at the Purple Fire Castle, the Dubhe Institute issued a battle merit token to each cultivator, along with a resource exchange catalog.
This resource exchange catalog detailed all the cultivation resources available from the Dubhe Institute.
From Tier One Magical Artifacts and Qi Cultivation Pills to Golden Core Pills and Tier Five Spiritual Medicine Spiritual Artifacts, everything was available.
Furthermore, each item was clearly priced, indicating how many battle merit points were needed for exchange.
All the cultivators who participated in the wars had seen this resource exchange catalog.
"Father, the exchange price for a Five Elements Crystal is 100,000 battle merit points. I’m a bit short on battle merit points and will need to slay more demon beasts."
Lu Yuanshan said, a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Big brother, how many merit points do you need to reach 100,000? I have over 20,000 merit points here."
Lu Zhiwei asked, "I can allocate some to you."
The Dubhe Institute did not prohibit the transfer or lending of battle merit points, as long as there was consent from the holder, battle merit points could be given to other cultivators.
Without the owner’s consent for the battle merit token, it was impossible to obtain someone else’s battle merit points.
This prevented situations where cultivators on the battlefield could take battle merit points from others’ tokens, unlike picking up storage bags or equipment.
Furthermore, the Dubhe Institute strictly controlled the transfer of battle merit points between cultivators.
If any cultivator was found coercing others to transfer battle merit points for personal gain, they would face execution by the Dubhe Institute.
This ensured that cultivators on the battlefield did not end up sacrificing themselves only to serve others.
"Little sister, those battle merit points are earned through your own efforts, so you should not give them to me."
Hearing Lu Zhiwei’s offer to allocate some battle merit points to him to reach 100,000 for a Five Elements Crystal, Lu Yuanshan felt a warm sensation in his heart.
After all, Zhiwei is his biological sister, their bond thick as blood.
However, Lu Yuanshan did not want to do this.
"Big brother, it’s okay. My merit points aren’t of much use to me now, and they aren’t many; it’s better to use them for something more important, like exchanging for a Five Elements Crystal for you."
Lu Zhiwei said earnestly.
