"Just around the corner?"
When he heard Duan Lingtian's words, Huo Lao said, "It's too early to say that. These few materials were able to repair 60% of the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. It's all thanks to the Nuwa Stone fragment. Among them, the Nuwa Stone fragment alone was able to repair 40%. "
Huo Lao's words were like a bucket of cold water that splashed on Duan Lingtian's head, completely suppressing the excitement in Duan Lingtian's heart.
It turned out that the reason these few materials were able to repair so much was all thanks to the Nuwa Stone fragment.
For a time, the Nuwa Stone fragment's position in Duan Lingtian's heart skyrocketed.
"Huo Lao, I've heard of a legend that the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, Sun Wukong, was formed from a five-colored stone that fell when Nuwa was mending the sky. You seemed to have said that Sun Wukong was not a native of Planet Yan Huang, but was formed from the Nuwa Stone of the Ancient Goddess Nuwa. Is the five-colored stone really so miraculous that it can give birth to a monster like Sun Wukong? "
Duan Lingtian asked curiously.
"It's naturally impossible for an ordinary five-colored stone to give birth to a monster like the Horse Protector. The five-colored stone that gave birth to the Horse Protector is the most precious part of the five-colored stone, and it's called five-colored chalcedony. It's blessed by Heaven and Earth, and it's very beautiful. That's why it could give birth to a monster like the Horse Protector."
Huo Lao said.
"I see."
Duan Lingtian was suddenly enlightened, and then he asked, "In that case, the five-colored stone fragment I just obtained is just an ordinary five-colored stone fragment?"
"Yes."
Huo Lao replied.
"Huo Lao, this five-colored stone is so miraculous … How will it help me?"
Duan Lingtian could not help but ask.
When he thought about the power of the five-colored stone, Duan Lingtian also hoped that it would bring him some benefits. That would be better than letting the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda consume it.
"If it was a complete piece of the Five Colored Stone, it would naturally be of great help to you … However, a fragment of the Five Colored Stone is of no help to you."
Huo Lao said.
Duan Ling Tian was slightly disappointed when he heard that.
Since he had bought all the materials that he needed, Duan Lingtian left the first level of the Merit Pavilion and headed to the second level. "The second level of the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City is where the Saint Grade Martial Tactics are stored … I wonder if the second level of the Moon Illumination Sect's Merit Pavilion is the same."
Duan Lingtian walked into the second floor of the Merit Pavilion and realized that this was not the place where Saint Grade Martial Techniques were stored.
The second floor of the Merit Points Pavilion was where one could exchange merit points for various materials.
There were various materials here that could be used for refining weapons, refining medicine, inscribing Dao Talismans, and even inscribing Saint Inscriptions.
Naturally, the materials that were placed on the second level of the Merit Pavilion were extremely precious. Nobody in the Moon Illumination Sect would be willing to exchange for ordinary materials with Merit Points.
After all, the value of Merit Points far surpassed Saint Stones in the Moon Illumination Sect.
"I wonder if there are any rare materials that can be used to repair the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda in the second level of the Merit Pavilion."
The moment Duan Lingtian thought about this, he began to look forward to it.
Currently, the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was already 70% repaired. It was only 30% away from being completely repaired.
There was a counter at the entrance of the second level of the Merit Pavilion. An old man was sitting behind the counter. The old man seemed to be dozing off, but he gave off an unusual feeling.
When Duan Lingtian passed by the counter, he even felt like he was being watched.
Duan Lingtian glanced at the old man vigilantly. He realized that although the old man seemed to be dozing off, he was actually more awake than anyone else.
"Leave your Spatial Ring and go in."
Just as Duan Lingtian was looking at the old man vigilantly, the old man opened his sleepy eyes and said nonchalantly.
Duan Lingtian nodded and took his Spatial Ring off before placing it on the counter.
He knew that the feeling of being watched earlier was probably due to the old man using his powerful Spiritual Energy to check the Spatial Rings on his body to see exactly how many Spatial Rings he had … Fortunately, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda wasn't something that the old man's Spiritual Energy could detect.
Duan Lingtian was not worried about the Spatial Ring that was placed on the counter.
It was a Spatial Ring that had claimed ownership with his blood. Unless he was dead, it would be useless even if someone took it away. They would not be able to take out the things inside.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian was not surprised by the rule of handing in one's Spatial Ring on the second level of the Merit Pavilion.
It was obvious that there was no one else guarding the second level of the Merit Pavilion. There were only a few people picking materials there.
If one did not hand in one's Spatial Ring, it was inevitable that someone would secretly put the materials into the Spatial Ring in an attempt to get away with it and save their Merit Points.
After Duan Lingtian entered the second level of the Merit Pavilion, he greeted Huo Lao. "Huo Lao, look around and see if there are any materials that can be used to repair the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda."
Under normal circumstances, if he did not take the initiative to greet Huo Lao, Huo Lao would not look outside.
Duan Lingtian was very satisfied with this.
At the very least, this way, Huo Lao would not pry into his privacy.
In this regard, Huo Lao was very tactful.
Duan Lingtian was the owner of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Whether or not Huo Lao was looking outside through the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, he would be the first to know.
He knew that Huo Lao was not looking outside, so he took the initiative to remind him.
After walking around the second level of the Merit Pavilion, Duan Lingtian found a total of more than ten materials that could be used to repair the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. However, these materials could only be used to repair 10% of the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
"It seems that I was really lucky when I was on the first level of the Merit Pavilion."
Duan Lingtian sighed to himself.
The materials on the second level of the Merit Pavilion were clearly priced and could not be negotiated.
The materials that Duan Lingtian found cost a total of 15,000 Merit Points, which was ten times more than the Merit Points he spent on the first level of the Merit Pavilion!
Even Duan Ling Tian could not help but sigh emotionally at this.
Of course, he also knew that such a comparison was meaningless.
The most precious Nuwa Stone fragment was a 'gift' on the first level of the Merit Pavilion. It did not cost him any Merit Points at all.
After returning to the counter and swiping the 15,000 Merit Points from his Crystal Card, Duan Lingtian put on his Spatial Ring again and put away the materials that he bought on the second level of the Merit Pavilion.
"Thank you, Elder."
Before he was ready to go to the third level of the Merit Pavilion, Duan Lingtian thanked the old man behind the counter.
This old man's Spiritual Energy was stronger than anyone he had met before. Of course, the 'anyone' referred to those who had displayed their Spiritual Energy in front of Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian did not know how strong their Spiritual Energy was since they had not displayed their Spiritual Energy before.
Because of this, Duan Lingtian guessed that the old man was an inner court elder.
"I wonder if that 'Elder Dongfang' is comparable to him."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Elder Dongfang was the Grand Elder of the Moon Illumination Sect's outer court district, Dongfang Quan. Duan Lingtian had gone to look for him before and had met him once.
Since he did not probe Duan Lingtian with his Spiritual Energy, Duan Lingtian did not know how strong his Spiritual Energy was.
At that time, he had used a fourth-grade Saint Stone and ten fifth-grade Saint Stones as the price to ask Dongfang Quan to make a statement. It was the statement that was made a few days before the Death Duel between him and Feng Fan.
At that time, many people were surprised by it.
It did not cross their minds that the outer court's Grand Elder, Dongfang Quan, would make a statement that he was willing to witness the bet that Duan Lingtian had made. He was also willing to fulfill the bet on behalf of Duan Lingtian after he was killed.
Many people had also speculated about the relationship between Duan Lingtian and Dongfang Quan.
However, it had never crossed their minds that Duan Lingtian had relied on the eleven Saint Stones to establish a relationship with Dongfang Quan.
Of course, it was mostly because of the meaning behind the eleven Saint Stones.
Generally speaking, the Saint Stones that circulated in the area around the Moon Illumination Sect and even the entire Nine Sect Alliances' district were sixth-grade Saint Stones at most. Usually, seventh-grade Saint Stones could also be produced from seventh-grade Saint Stone mines.
As for fifth-grade Saint Stones, very few people would continue to circulate them even if they flowed into the Nine Sect Alliances' district from the outside.
Most people would use them for cultivation.
It was common knowledge that the higher the grade of Saint Stones, the lower the speed of cultivation.
However, the higher the grade of the Saint Stone, the longer one could maintain a high-intensity closed-door cultivation without having to stop halfway to exchange for Saint Stones … There were many Martial Cultivators and Dao Cultivators who missed the best opportunity to break through because they needed to exchange for Saint Stones halfway.
Therefore, high-grade Saint Stones were also sought after by Martial and Dao Cultivators with a profound cultivation base.
The higher the cultivation base of Martial and Dao Cultivators, the longer their closed-door cultivation would be. It was not impossible for them to be in closed-door cultivation for decades or even centuries.
Among the eleven Saint Stones that Duan Lingtian had given to Dongfang Quan, there were ten fifth-grade Saint Stones and one fourth-grade Saint Stone.
Fifth-grade Saint Stones could only be produced from a sixth-grade Saint Stone mine controlled by a sixth-rate force. Although it was rare for it to flow into the Nine Sect Alliances' district, it was not like it did not exist.
However, fourth-grade Saint Stones were extremely rare in the Nine Sect Alliances' district.
This was because fourth-grade Saint Stones could only be produced from a fifth-grade Saint Stone mine controlled by a fifth-rate force.
The people in the Nine Sect Alliances' district would only be able to exchange for fourth-grade Saint Stones if they went to the central area of the district controlled by a fifth-rate force. Otherwise, it was almost impossible for the people in the Nine Sect Alliances' district to have fourth-grade Saint Stones.
Of course, there was another possibility.
That was, someone from the central area of the district controlled by a fifth-rate force had come to the Nine Sect Alliances' district and left a fourth-grade Saint Stone there.
The fact that Duan Lingtian was able to take out a fourth-grade Saint Stone was enough to make Dongfang Quan speculate about his identity.
This was also Duan Lingtian's motive.
It was also because of this that Dongfang Quan would cooperate with him so readily.
Otherwise, why would a mere outer court disciple like him make Dongfang Quan, a dignified Grand Elder of the outer court, help him?
"It's rare to see such a polite little fellow like you nowadays."
A smile appeared on the old man's face. He did not expect that Duan Lingtian would take the initiative to thank him.
One must know that most people who came to the second level of the Merit Pavilion would leave after exchanging the materials. Who would care about an old man like him?
"Little fellow, what's your name?"
