Treasury resources.
The rankings.
Trial a.s.sessment.
Exchange of Dao techniques.
The change in the new core jade token was indeed not small. He even felt dizzy when he fumbled with it. Shen Ping only used five minutes to figure it out. However, he was not very interested in the rankings or the trial. What he cared about the most was the resources in the treasure vault.
Therefore, his first choice was to check the changes in the treasure vault. With a thought, a door slowly appeared on the wall of the narrow room, and words appeared on it: Treasure Vault.
He pushed open the door. Cultivation techniques, medicinal pills, rare treasures, magic treasures, talismans, puppets, array formations, and many other resources appeared one by one. Every type of resource displayed the required contribution and authority.
“Let’s check the Talisman Scripture.”
Shen Ping’s voice fell. A large number of resources disappeared in the blink of an eye. Soon, scriptures appeared in the surroundings. There were more than a hundred of them densely packed. However, from the contribution price alone, the Talisman Beast Scripture and Green Talisman Sutra were undoubtedly the best two. He casually took a look at the rest and did not take them to heart.
Then, his thoughts moved again. “Check the restricted resources!”
Whoosh.
The scriptures suddenly disappeared, and jade boxes appeared out of thin air. Seeing this scene, Shen Ping could not help but feel excited. Other than the scripture, he could actually see restricted resources!
The change this time was indeed huge!
He composed himself. He glanced at the various jade boxes.
Seabeard Ginseng Leaf—Low-Level Restriction Level, suitable for Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core usage. Requires 50,000 contribution points, Level B core authority.
Blue Crystal Fire—Low-level Restriction… Requires 60,000 contribution points, B-Rank Core.
Strange Beast Pattern Blood—Low-grade… Requires 50,000 contribution points, B-grade core.
After reading all the restricted-level items in detail,
Shen Ping sighed helplessly. He could look at restricted-level resources, but even the lowest restricted-level required more than 50,000 contribution points. Moreover, he had to be a B-rank core member. He was only a D-rank core now. Even if he had contribution points, he could not exchange them.
“No matter what, I can finally see a glimmer of hope!” He comforted himself. He left the treasure vault and returned to the narrow room. “The rankings.”
Another door appeared in the wall. Shen Ping walked in and saw two huge blank lists hanging. Among them, there was the Glory Ranking and the Hidden Dragon Ranking. Between the two rankings, there were lines of words introducing the rules. He glanced around. He came to a realization.
The Glory Ranking was a ranking for all the core members of the True Treasure Pavilion. As long as one could pa.s.s the trial a.s.sessment, they could be on the ranking. However, the ranking only displayed the top 200 members.
On the other hand, the Hidden Dragon Rankings were different. Other than pa.s.sing the trial test, one had to be a new core disciple within a hundred years. The True Treasure Pavilion did it once every twenty years. In other words, only the core disciples of the new five batches could be on the rankings, and the rankings only showed the top fifty.
Whoosh.
At this moment, the font changed and was refreshed. Shen Ping hurriedly looked over.
“The Glory Ranking and the Hidden Dragon Ranking are rankings established by the True Treasure Pavilion to focus on nurturing core members. As long as one is on the rankings, they can obtain restricted resources as a reward. This reward will be given every half a year. I hope every core member will cherish it.”
He glanced at the content in front of him and stared at the ranking reward displayed behind him without blinking.
The reward for being number one on the Glory Rankings was a bottle of Immortal Jade Brew.
The reward for being second was a Silver Saint Flower.
The reward for being third was a ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Heart Fruit.
The reward for being first on the Hidden Dragon Rankings was a thousand-year-old Spirit Heart Fruit.
The reward for being second was a drop of blue strange beast blood.
The reward for being third was one Sea Whisker Ginseng.
He looked back and forth dozens of times.
Shen Ping kept rubbing his eyes. After confirming that he was not seeing things, his eyes revealed deep shock.
Jade Immortal Brew, Silver Saint Flower, Ten Thousand Year Spirit Heart Fruit. These were all top-notch restricted resources. Each of them cost at least a million contribution points, and their value far exceeded Nascent Soul treasures. If one could enter the top three of the Glory Ranking and obtain such resources, not to mention the Nascent Soul realm, even breaking through to the Divine Transformation realm in the future would no longer be an extravagant hope.
Although these rewards could not be obtained repeatedly, as long as he could continue to be in the top three, he could convert the rewards into contribution points and buy other restricted resources.
It was the same for the Hidden Dragon Rankings. Although the rewards for the top three were not as good as those on the Glory Ranking, if one could obtain the rewards, Foundation Establishment was simply easy.
He carefully studied the Talisman Scripture to improve his status. Wasn’t it for these resources?!
Now, these resources were already in front of him.
“Rankings! I want to clear the rankings!” Shen Ping revealed an excited expression. The thought in his heart became even more intense. Without hesitation, he hurriedly exited the rankings and pushed open the door of the trial a.s.sessment.
He had just entered when the ethereal voice sounded, “The trial a.s.sessment is not open for the time being. Please wait patiently.”
Most of the excitement on his face was instantly extinguished. A moment later, his divine sense withdrew from the core jade token. He sat in the room and drank a few mouthfuls of spiritual tea, his expression calming down. The rewards for the top three on the rankings were indeed very tempting. However, it was probably very difficult to rush up.
The Glory Ranking faced all the core members, including those who had cultivated in the headquarters for hundreds or thousands of years. Not to mention core members like A and B, even core members of the older generation like C and D were not something he could compete with.
There was still some hope for the Hidden Dragon Rankings. However, it was impossible to reach the top three at this stage.
It was mainly because he had only studied the Talisman Scripture for a short period of time. It had not even been three years since he came into contact with the “Basics of Talisman Scripture”. Although his speed of comprehension was not slow, it was very difficult to catch up to the members of the previous batches in such a short period of time.
“The trial a.s.sessment… I wonder what the content of the test is. If it’s still something like shattering the bronze patterned disc, I might be able to break through with my Talisman Dao Mystique.”
Through his conversation with Perfected Pei all these years, he knew that his results in the headquarters’ a.s.sessment had been relatively outstanding. The reason why he could quickly pa.s.s that time was mainly because of his Talisman Dao Mystique. Therefore, if the trial a.s.sessment was the same, he believed that with his constantly increasing Talisman Dao Mystique, he had some chances.
Thinking of this, Shen Ping’s divine sense entered the jade token s.p.a.ce again and sent a message to Yu Qingling. The latter’s parents and master had a deep background. They might know the content of the trial test in advance.
Not long after, Yu Qingling replied, “Fellow Daoist Shen, have you obtained a new core jade token?”
“Yes.”
“That’s great. Fellow Daoist Shen, I’ve applied for a Dao technique exchange. After you pa.s.s, push open the door and you’ll see me.” Yu Qingling’s voice was filled with joy.
The corners of Shen Ping’s mouth twitched. He thought of the Snow Ganoderma Pill, the Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment, and the b.l.o.o.d.y calamity last time. If Yu Qingling still remembered all of this, wouldn’t it be very awkward during the Dao Technique Exchange later?
On second thought, he shook his head secretly. She had a heart demon oath. The possibility of the other party recording these things was very low. Therefore, he quickly applied for communication through Yu Qingling. He pushed open the door that appeared on the wall.
Shen Ping stepped in. He looked up and saw a beautiful figure standing opposite him. However, this beautiful figure was like a sharp sword that could be unsheathed at any time, making people not dare to look at her directly.
Especially when Yu Qingling’s lively eyes swept over. He immediately felt the sharp aura emitted by the sword-shaped mark between her eyebrows.
“Fellow Daoist Yu. Shen Ping frowned and walked over with cupped hands.
The corners of Yu Qingling’s mouth curled up into a faint smile as she bowed leisurely. “Fellow Daoist Shen, long time no see..”
