Three thousand sect contribution points were equivalent to three hundred thousand taels of silver.
And the amount of Bloodsmoke Stone he needed was one and a half catties. In other words, he needed a total of four thousand five hundred contribution points.
He had a total of seven thousand contribution points, and he had used up two thirds of them.
"Young friend, are you still exchanging?"
The old man asked with a smile.
"Yes, of course!" Lu Ming gritted his teeth and said.
No matter how many contribution points he needed, he had to exchange them. No matter how many contribution points he had, they would only show their value when they were converted into strength.
In his hands, it was just a bunch of numbers.
The old man was slightly surprised. He saw that Lu Ming was young and thought that he couldn't afford it. He didn't expect him to be able to take out so many contribution points.
Lu Ming took out his identity jade token and handed it to the old man. "Senior, this is my identity jade token."
"Okay!"
The old man took Lu Ming's identity jade token and placed it on a circular metal platform. The metal platform flickered, and a row of words appeared. It was Lu Ming's personal information.
"So this young friend is this year's Newcomer King, Lu Ming. Haha, nice to meet you!"
The old man was slightly surprised when he saw Lu Ming's information. Then, he smiled.
"Senior, you're too polite. Newcomer King is just a title."
Lu Ming shook his head.
The old man nodded. Lu Ming was able to remain humble after obtaining the Newcomer King title. This made the old man's impression of Lu Ming increase greatly.
Then, he swiped a few times on the metal platform. Lu Ming saw that the words on it were changing. The original seven thousand contribution points suddenly became two thousand five hundred.
After deducting the contribution points, the old man returned the identity jade token to Lu Ming. Then, he turned and walked into a door at the back. After a while, the old man returned with a metal box in his hand.
"This is the Bloodsmoke Stone. It's exactly one and a half catties. Take a look!"
The old man said with a smile.
Lu Ming took it and opened the metal box expectantly.
It was a fist-sized blood-red stone that was cut into four squares. Strangely, there was a layer of faint red smoke floating above the stone.
"Bloodsmoke Stone, I've finally gathered the three most important treasures. I can now cultivate the second level of the True Dragon Battle Art."
Lu Ming was overjoyed.
Putting away the Bloodsmoke Stone, Lu Ming said, "Senior, I need a few other materials."
After that, Lu Ming reported the other materials needed to cultivate the second level of the True Dragon Fighting Art.
These materials were much cheaper. They only cost two hundred contribution points in total.
"Senior, is there any Demonic Beast Blood Essence exchange here?" After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming asked again.
"Demonic beast blood essence? These are materials used by inscribers to refine pills and weapons. Are you an inscriber? "
The old man asked in surprise.
Lu Ming shook his head. "No, I have other uses for it."
"Yes!"
The old man nodded and asked, "What level of Demonic Beast Blood Essence do you need?"
"Fourth Lv 2 and Fifth Lv 2," Lu Ming said.
The old man said, "Fourth Lv 2 Demonic Beast Blood Essence costs fifty contribution points. Fifth Lv 2 Demonic Beast Blood Essence costs one hundred contribution points."
The old man replied.
"So expensive?" Lu Ming was surprised again.
Fourth Lv 2 Demonic Beast Blood Essence costs fifty contribution points, which was equivalent to five thousand taels of silver.
A Lv 1 Upper Grade Spiritual Weapon cost less than five thousand taels of silver. It was ridiculously expensive.
The old man explained with a smile, "Young friend, it's actually not too expensive. You should know that once a Demonic Beast dies, the essence of its Blood Essence will dissipate and lose its effect after an hour."
"That's right!"
Lu Ming nodded. He knew this very well. When his Blood Spirit Devouring Bug devoured the Blood Essence of a Demonic Beast or a human, it had to be done within an hour after the Blood Spirit Devouring Bug died. Otherwise, it would lose its effect.
"Therefore, if you want to preserve the blood essence of a Demonic Beast, you must use a Spirit Sealing Crystal. However, the Spirit Sealing Crystal is a one-time use item. The higher the grade of the Demonic Beast's blood essence, the better the quality of the Spirit Sealing Crystal. Therefore, the price of the Demonic Beast's blood essence is very high," the old man continued to explain.
Lu Ming nodded. He knew this was true.
"Senior, give me ten portions of Fourth Lv 2 and Fifth Lv 2 Demonic Beast Blood Essence each."
Lu Ming gritted his teeth and said.
If he wanted to improve his cultivation quickly within a month, he could only devour the Blood Essence of a Demonic Beast.
As for hunting Demonic Beasts in the wild, it would be too inefficient.
In the area where they had tested before, except for the Mutant Black-Scaled Lizard, the highest level of the other Demonic Beasts was only Fourth Lv 2.
If he wanted to hunt Demonic Beasts of Fourth Lv 2 and above, he would have to travel further and more dangerous.
Not to mention the danger, it would take a lot of time to find a suitable Demonic Beast. It was not worth it.
The most convenient way was to buy the Blood Essence of a Demonic Beast directly.
"Okay, I'll prepare the Blood Essence for you."
The old man said.
After a while, the old man returned with the Blood Essence of a Demonic Beast. Lu Ming's Contribution Points were deducted by another 1,500 Contribution Points.
All of a sudden, he was only left with 700 Contribution Points.
Lu Ming's heart ached when he spent them so quickly.
But if he could convert them into strength, it was all worth it.
Only by increasing one's strength could one obtain more treasures and contribution points.
After collecting the Blood Essence of a Demonic Beast and the Blood Smoke Stone, Lu Ming left the Contribution Hall and returned to his residence.
After returning to his residence, Lu Ming did not immediately attempt to break through to Level Two of the True Dragon Skill.
This was because his cultivation had not been fully consolidated and his True Qi was not pure enough.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult to cultivate to Level Two of the True Dragon Skill. If he rashly cultivated, he might even waste the precious materials that he had obtained with great difficulty.
To cultivate, one must ensure success in one go.
Lu Ming continued to cultivate the True Dragon Skill.
Eight days later, Lu Ming's cultivation had finally been fully consolidated. But Lu Ming spent another two days to make the True Qi in his body as smooth and pure as one.
At this time, Lu Ming was ready to break through to Level Two of the True Dragon Skill.
"Now, I need to mix these materials!"
Lu Ming took out the Condensation Fruit, Lightning Leopard's Blood, Blood Smoke Stone, and other materials. He mixed these materials according to the method described in the True Dragon Skill.
Although Lu Ming was not an Inscription Master, this was not alchemy. It was just a simple combination. Lu Ming could still do it easily.
When these materials were mixed together, they formed a blood-red liquid that emitted a fragrance.
"Begin!"
After the materials were mixed, Lu Ming sat cross-legged on the bed and swallowed the blood-red liquid in one gulp.
Once it was swallowed, the blood-red liquid was like a volcanic eruption, bursting out with scorching energy that surged towards Lu Ming's tendons and meridians.
Once it entered the tendons and meridians, it mixed with Lu Ming's True Qi and finally entered the Dantian's cyclone.
Sizzle …
This surge of energy also emitted strong lightning. Together with this surge of energy, it began to temper Lu Ming's True Qi.
