"Little Brat Ye, if you're exchanging for spiritual herbs to be used for planting, then I'd advise you to forget about it. Not only will you be wasting your merit points, but these spiritual herbs might also be killed by you." The old man kindly reminded him.
"Senior, let me exchange them."
The old man did not say much. He took out five of each of the 16 spiritual herbs. The cheapest was 10 merit points each, while the most expensive was the Innate Vermillion Fruit. It could assist in breaking through to the next level and reduce the difficulty of breaking through to the Innate Stage from the Inner Force Mastery stage. It was considered extremely heaven-defying and was worth 50 merit points.
In total, he had used up 1,500 Merit Points, leaving him with 1,710 Merit Points.
Ye Lingchen continued, "Senior, I'll exchange for another five grams of high-grade spiritual stones, a hundred grams of mid-grade spiritual stones, and 210 grams of low-grade spiritual stones."
That way, his merit points were depleted.
The five grams of high-grade spiritual stones were prepared for Ye Lingchen's cultivation. As for the mid-grade and low-grade spiritual stones, Ye Lingchen planned to set up a formation on Miracle Island to increase the spiritual energy on the island.
The old man's face showed a hint of pain when Ye Lingchen took away so many spiritual stones. He reluctantly took out the spiritual stones, measured them accurately with a scale, and distributed them to Ye Lingchen.
Ye Lingchen felt the Martial Arts Pavilion's … poverty even more.
Walking out of the merit point area, Ye Lingchen bumped into Chen Qi, who was rushing over.
"Ye Lingchen, how was it? Did you exchange for what you wanted?" Chen Qi asked with a smile. However, the next moment, his expression stiffened and the corner of his mouth twitched.
At that moment, Ye Lingchen was counting his gains. With so many spiritual stones in his hands, it was as if he was hugging a pile of diamonds. They were really glowing, and the rich spiritual energy was hard to look at. Apart from that, there was also a pile of spiritual herbs, all packed in a plastic bag …
Chen Qi's eyes immediately turned green, and a crystalline liquid appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Ye Lingchen avoided Chen Qi's gaze and kept the items without batting an eyelid, then said, "Minister Chen."
After suffering a loss at Xiang Guocheng's hands, Ye Lingchen dared not show off his wealth.
The corner of Chen Qi's mouth twitched. 'Damn, what did I just see?'
Ever since he entered the Martial Arts Pavilion, he had slowly climbed from an Inner Force Master to the Innate Stage. He had never been as rich as Ye Lingchen.
"Cough."
Chen Qi cleared his throat. "I've mentioned your idea to Minister Xiang. It's very difficult, but it's not impossible."
Was it possible?
Ye Lingchen looked at Chen Qi with anticipation in his eyes.
His idea was to open a martial arts school. He would do whatever the Warrior's Department could not!
Moreover, he was very confident that he could do it well!
What did martial artists rely on to cultivate? Martial arts, elixirs, weapons, and a cultivation environment … Ye Lingchen could provide them all! He could also develop high-tech weapons. As long as the Warrior's Department gave the nod, he could openly build a martial arts school on Miracle Island and recruit students!
Once the Warrior's Department agreed, Ye Lingchen believed that he could create a martial arts holy land that would shake the world. In the end, he still had to rely on himself to fight against the Void Realm!
Moreover, Miracle Island would be his symbol in the future. When Earth suffered a disaster, Miracle Island could bring a sense of security to people. The martial artists on Miracle Island would vanquish demons, which also represented him. When that time came, his popularity points would increase much faster than if he was alone!
Ye Lingchen immediately said righteously, "Minister Chen, I'll fight for it as long as it's possible. After all, this is for the survival of mankind, for Earth, and for the heroes who died in battle. No difficulties can stop me!"
Chen Qi felt a little awkward and coughed before continuing, "You should have felt it too. The Martial Arts Pavilion is very poor.
That's because the Martial Arts Pavilion's strength is limited and they don't have the ability to enter the Void Realm. Therefore, the resources available are limited. Even if they were to sneak into the Void Realm, the loss of martial artists is not equal to the gain.
"However, the Martial Arts Pavilion still has so many cultivation resources. Do you know where they come from?"
Ye Lingchen answered straightforwardly, "I don't know."
'Nonsense, how would I know?'
"Do you know Buff Island?" Chen Qi continued to ask.
"The place where the Void Realm was first discovered?" Ye Lingchen's heart skipped a beat. He had seen it in the Stick Nation's confidential documents. It seemed like a world war at that time, but it was actually to cover up Buff Island's Void Realm.
"Sort of, but also not." Chen Qi shook his head. "Buff Island is definitely not the first Void Realm, but Buff Island is the first Void Realm where humans have a foothold!"
Those words immediately set off a storm in Ye Lingchen's heart.
Did that not mean that humans could enter and exit the Void Realm at will?
That news could not be described as not shocking.
After that, Ye Lingchen felt that it was only natural.
Back then, all the countries went to Buff Island together. It was indeed planned. That was to use all the forces on Earth at that time to fight against the Void Realm. It was not surprising that they were able to gain a foothold.
"In order to achieve their goal, the number of deaths at that station was comparable to a world war. Countless people died in battle, but at the same time, many talented people emerged, providing the conditions for entering the Void Realm." Chen Qi said faintly, "That station is in the past, so it naturally has nothing to do with us. However, it was also that battle that allowed humans to obtain a lot of resources in the Void Realm. That battle was really too crucial."
Ye Lingchen nodded.
Sure enough, no matter what era it was, there would always be people with amazing talents.
The results of that battle could be said to have created a precedent for humans. It was the foundation that allowed humans to survive until now, and its importance was self-evident.
"So … a lot of resources were provided by Buff Island?" Ye Lingchen asked.
"That's right!" Chen Qi nodded. "It's not just resources. The spiritual energy on Buff Island is much more abundant than here. Therefore, all the experts on Earth are from Buff Island. Minister Xiang is from Buff Island and was sent here to guard this place.
Because Buff Island is jointly owned by all the countries, the powerhouses that emerge from it are also from different countries. Therefore, all the countries have signed a treaty to hold a battle every year to distribute the resources. The winner will naturally obtain more resources. "
So that was how it was. It was fair and just.
"Although everyone is trying to protect Earth, we belong to different countries apart from Earth. There are already a lot of Hell's Gates now. Take the Sun Nation for example. If they had enough experts back then, they would not have dropped the atomic bomb and self-destructed. Therefore, in order to protect their own countries, all countries attach great importance to this battle," Chen Qi said solemnly.
"This is the difference between a big family and a small family. If I want to protect everyone, I'll definitely protect my own family first," Ye Lingchen said.
"That's right. If it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid we'd be in trouble here. Therefore, we must win this time. Only by obtaining more resources can we protect this place!"
