The white-haired old man looked at Xiao Chen and smiled gently, "Little friend, please have a seat. This must be your first time exchanging, right? If you have any questions, you can just ask me. Don't worry about not having enough time."
Xiao Chen sat across from the jade table and looked at the old man. He said, "Many thanks, Senior. This is my jade pendant. This junior is Xiao Chen."
The old man received the jade pendant that Xiao Chen handed over. When he saw the points on it, he could not help but feel astonished. Fourteen thousand points.
The old man muttered to himself, Xiao Chen … I don't think I've heard of this name before. There was no Noble Clan with the surname Xiao in the four seas. There did not seem to be a Xiao Clan in the Great Jin Nation, either. The few super sects had never heard of any inheritors with the surname Xiao.
However, the points that Xiao Chen obtained were comparable to the Noble Clans of the Boundless Sea and the Evil Moon Pavilion's Bai Zhan.
However, the white-haired old man had seen many such hidden geniuses in his life. Although he was astonished, he did not find it too strange.
The white-haired old man handed the jade pendant in his hand to the three old men beside him. They verified the points on the jade pendant and verified its authenticity.
"Let me explain the rules of the exchange first. One point can be exchanged for ten Medial Grade Spirit Stones. Ten points can be exchanged for one Superior Grade Spirit Stone. That is the exchange of Spirit Stones. As for the other items, there is a form here. You can take a look. "
Xiao Chen received the form and looked at it carefully. He discovered that the items in the form were all the treasures on the surrounding shelves. The points required for each treasure were written at the back.
After looking through it carefully a few times, Xiao Chen had a rough idea. He did not need Medial Grade Spirit Stones now. He still had two million in his Universe Ring. What he needed more were Superior Grade Spirit Stones.
If he wanted to maintain a fast cultivation speed after he became a Martial Monarch, he would need to expend a large number of Superior Grade Spirit Stones. This was considered saving for a rainy day.
Aside from this, some Spirit Herbs that increased Vital Qi were also necessary items. Currently, Xiao Chen's pure Vital Qi was already four hundred thousand kilograms of force. After he reached Great Perfection of the Firmament Body Tempering Art, he should be able to achieve five hundred thousand kilograms of force.
At that time, he would need to use Spirit Medicines to break through to a million Jin. Spirit Medicines that were more than a thousand years old would not be of much use to him. Only those that were more than two thousand years old would have an effect.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to make his exchange, he suddenly noticed something. Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls, one thousand points each.
After a pause, Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Then, he faced the old man in front and asked, "Senior, can you show me this Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearl?"
"It's a small matter. Whatever you want to exchange, you can take a look at the goods in advance."
The white-haired old man nodded and waved his hand. A brocade box flew down from the shelf behind Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen opened the brocade box and immediately revealed four round white pearls filled with Spiritual Energy. These were the Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls.
Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. Indeed, it was as he had guessed. He also had two white Spirit Gathering Pearls.
Although he could feel the vast Spiritual Energy contained in them, he did not know what they were or what they were. Hence, he had never had the chance to use them. Unexpectedly, he found them here.
The white-haired old man explained, "Spirit Gathering Pearls are condensed by a Martial Sage powerhouse from thousands upon thousands of Spirit Stones by exhausting their own Source Energy. Naturally, those condensed from Inferior Grade Spirit Stones are Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls; those condensed from Medial Grade Spirit Stones are Medial Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls; and those condensed from Superior Grade Spirit Stones are Superior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls.
"The higher the grade, the more Source Energy will be exhausted. Most Martial Sages are not willing to condense Spirit Gathering Pearls above Medial Grade."
The exhaustion of Source Energy was different from the exhaustion of Essence. Normally, Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills could quickly replenish the depletion of Source Energy. However, if one's Source Energy was depleted, they would need at least a month to replenish it, perhaps even longer.
This showed the preciousness of Spirit Gathering Pearls. They were condensed by a bona fide Martial Sage's Source Energy. How could they not be precious?
Xiao Chen asked joyfully, "What are the uses of these Spirit Gathering Pearls? How do I use them? What do I need to pay attention to? Senior, can you give me some pointers?"
The white-haired old man smiled and said, "It can't be considered pointers. Let me explain it simply. Spirit Gathering Pearls are similar to Spirit Stones; they are used to assist cultivators in their cultivation. However, the effects of Spirit Gathering Pearls are much better. One Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearl is equivalent to several hundred Superior Grade Spirit Stones.
"However, because the Essence contained in the Spirit Gathering Pearl is too vast, cultivators below Martial Monarch cannot use it to cultivate normally. Otherwise, it will burst through the cultivator's dantian in an instant. However, it is good for breaking through bottlenecks. With the surging power of a river, one can break through the dam in an instant.
"When using it, place it on the Tianmen Acupoint on the top of your head and use your pure Yang energy to refine it into liquid. Then, let it flow into your body. Do not consume it. Otherwise, no matter how tough your body is, it will explode in an instant."
After hearing the old man's explanation, Xiao Chen knew what he needed. He used ten thousand points to exchange for ten Spirit Gathering Pearls. Then, he used the remaining five thousand points to exchange for a three-thousand-year-old Monarch Blood Grass.
The old man reminded Xiao Chen, "Little friend, with your current cultivation, you can use at most five Spirit Gathering Pearls. It would be a waste to exchange for so many."
Xiao Chen thanked the other party for the reminder. However, he still insisted on exchanging for ten Spirit Gathering Pearls. He was very clear about his own situation.
Xiao Chen cultivated a Heaven Ranked Cultivation Technique. Furthermore, he had established a strong foundation when he broke through to Martial King. His cultivation could not be compared to that of an ordinary person.
When Bai Lixi, who had been waiting outside for a long time, saw Xiao Chen come out, he immediately went over with a smile. "Xiao Chen, let's go. I'll bring you to see the point ranking. Let's see if your elder brother has improved."
Xiao Chen did not really want to go. He had just obtained the Spirit Gathering Pearls and was in a rush to test their effects. However, he could not resist Bai Lixi's enthusiasm, so he could only follow.
Bai Lixi parted the crowd excitedly. He was tall and strong; no one could compete with him. Soon, he pushed his way to the front.
Bai Lixi ignored the dissatisfaction of the others and excitedly looked for his name. His name was near the front, so he found it immediately. However, the smile on his face froze.
Bai Lixi's name was ranked eleventh on the jade wall. As for Xiao Chen, he was just ahead of him, ranked tenth.
"Damn it! How can this be?!" Bai Lixi was dumbfounded. Originally, he thought he would be able to suppress Xiao Chen. Who knew, Xiao Chen would surpass him without saying anything?
Furthermore, Xiao Chen had snatched Bai Lixi's place from the top ten, pushing him out.
Xiao Chen had not expected to be able to rank tenth. He felt surprised as well. However, he did not care too much about it.
The point ranking was not a ranking of strength. The true experts faced the peak Demons on the islands in the core region. It was extremely difficult to kill them. They could not even rank within the top hundred of the point ranking. However, no one would deny their strength.
The ones at the top of the point ranking were all cultivators in the inner area. When these people worked in teams, they could achieve an effect that was greater than the sum of their parts.
When Xiao Chen looked at the top of the point ranking, he saw a name that he was not familiar with. After asking around, he found out who it was.
That was the Eastern Sea's Little Dragon King, Xuanyuan Zhantian. Since the point ranking began, he had been ranked first. In the past three months, more than twenty thousand Demons had died at his hands.
As Xiao Chen continued looking, he found that the top ten were all unfamiliar names. They should be the young cultivators of the Boundless Sea.
However, the person in third place, Bai Zhan, attracted Xiao Chen's attention. Earlier, he had heard someone say that this person's Raging Flame Frost Palm was very refined.
This was very similar to the yellow-robed cultivator that Xiao Chen met. If that was the case, then this would be interesting. The Evil Moon Pavilion's Bai Zhan.
Xie Ziwen was the second disciple of the Evil Moon Pavilion's Pavilion Master. This Bai Zhan was even stronger than him. He should be his senior brother.
Xiao Chen wondered if this person was aware of the grudge between him and the Evil Moon Pavilion. If he was, it would be hard to avoid trouble.
"Xuanyuan Zhantian is back!"
Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out in the hall. Everyone turned around and saw a young man wearing purple armor and a purple dragon cloak on his back walking in from the entrance of the hall.
This person was no older than twenty. He had handsome facial features and an oppressive aura gathered on his face. His eyes contained a hint of arrogance as he walked with a majestic gait.
When this person arrived in front of the point ranking, the surrounding crowd immediately parted for him. He glanced at the point ranking and saw the four words "Xuanyuan Zhantian" at the top of the point ranking.
Xuanyuan Zhantian's expression was neither complacent nor conceited. It was as if everything was as it should be, as if the first place was prepared for him.
When Xiao Chen felt this person's aura, he felt astonished. This person was actually a Great Perfection half-step Martial Monarch. Xiao Chen wondered how this person cultivated. In terms of combat prowess, he was probably stronger than Bai Lixi.
"Ha ha! Xuanyuan Zhantian, no matter how you look at it, you will not be able to maintain the first rank for long."
Who was so bold to speak to Xuanyuan Zhantian like that? Everyone could not help but feel curious.
Xuanyuan Zhantian was a true inheritor of the Divine Dragon Palace. As long as he did not fall, he would be the next master of the Divine Dragon Palace. Half of the Eastern Sea would have to listen to him.
When everyone looked up, they saw four youths wearing red, blue, green, and purple robes standing in a row at the entrance of the hall. They all had impressive appearances and were extraordinarily handsome. Unexpectedly, they were all Small Perfection half-step Martial Monarchs.
Of the four, the second from the left was the youth in azure robes. He was the most extraordinary. Like Xuanyuan Zhantian, he was also a Great Perfection half-step Martial Monarch.
The person who spoke earlier was this youth in azure robes. He looked at Xuanyuan Zhantian mockingly.
"So, it is the Northern Sea's Four Young Masters. No wonder they dare to challenge Xuanyuan Zhantian. The four of them are qualified to do so."
"The Northern Sea's Boundless Sea is controlled by the Four Noble Clans. These four people are the scions of their respective clans. In the future, they will be the rulers of the Northern Sea. They are Xuanyuan Zhantian's competitors."
The people in the surroundings who understood the situation discussed in whispers. Their gazes were filled with interest. When the outstanding talents of the two clans met, there might be a fierce battle in the hall.
However, what surprised everyone was that the Eastern Sea's Little Dragon King, Xuanyuan Zhantian, did not even look at the green-robed young master's mockery.
Xuanyuan Zhantian only said indifferently, "If you have the ability, then take it. However, do you have the ability?"
