I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 646: Merit is King? Heavenly Palace Jade Plate

Chenhui Realm.

This world is vast, with countless sacred peaks and rivers, and vast deserts stretching for billions of miles, seemingly endless.

It is night time now. If you look from above the infinite sky, you can see countless flames and palaces like chess pieces scattered throughout this world. The number is unknown.

But even so, there is still a small half of the land that is uninhabited and desolate.

At this time, above the vast area, there is a mountain that is tens of thousands of feet high and almost level with the sky. There are countless palaces on it, and the stars are shining brightly. Even at night, it is as bright as day. The dazzling light shines for tens of thousands of miles and can be clearly seen in the sky outside the domain. It can be said to be the most prosperous place in this world.

At this moment, in a magnificent palace at the highest point of the peak, an old man with snow-white hair, eyebrows longer than his ears, and a face as rosy as a baby suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the vast night sky, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.

"clang!"

Then, a golden bell in front of him rang quietly without any wind.

Just a moment after the golden bell rang, a middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face and a solemn expression turned into a ray of starlight and appeared in the palace.

"Hall Master!"

This middle-aged man had a strong aura and bright starlight in his eyes, which was extremely captivating. He was obviously in the middle stage of Mahayana cultivation, but he was still respectful in front of the old man.

"A distinguished guest from outer space is coming. Go to the Star Reception Platform to welcome him."

The old man instructed calmly.

"A distinguished guest from outer space?"

The middle-aged man was moved when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be someone from the [Xuanhuang Origin]?"

"Yes, Xuanhuang fell from the Heavenly Palace, and the nine realms are connected. People from the source land will definitely come here. After all, the source land is ancient, opportunities are rare, and it is already an old land..."

The old man had a deep gaze and a calm tone.

“Although the source is an old place, it is the oldest direct lineage of the Heavenly Palace. There are quite a few Mahayana masters in it. Now that they are coming, I wonder how many there are? How should disciples deal with it?”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man bowed and asked.

"There are three-lineage cultivators in total, thirteen Mahayana cultivators."

"The Heavenly Palace opened up eight realms just to replace the old land. Just be a little polite and don't take it too seriously. Everything should be done according to the rules of the Heavenly Star Palace!"

"It is time to let the people of the old land know the laws of the new land."

After the old man answered this, he closed his eyes and said no more.

The middle-aged man understood what was going on after hearing this. He bowed and then turned into a ray of starlight. He left the temple and headed directly to the Star Receiving Platform on the top of the mountain.

……

……

Star reception station.

This is an ancient circular platform. There are countless twinkling star patterns on the platform, which shine together with the stars above the sky and emit wisps of spiritual light.

But on ordinary days, the starlight is like fireflies, not bright, but flickering.

But today, the starlight suddenly became brighter and more dazzling, and a pillar of stars even shot straight into the sky and extended beyond the sky.

There was an infinite suction force emerging from this star pillar. Outside the infinite domain, a thousand-foot golden boat was sailing in the vast sea of ​​stars. At this moment, when the star pillar appeared, the golden boat immediately found the direction, followed the gravity of the star pillar, broke through the sky, turned into a golden light, fell from outside the sky domain in an instant, and stopped steadily on the star receiving platform.

Before the golden boat came to a complete stop, five powerful and terrifying divine thoughts quietly spread, trying to see through the tens of thousands of feet high spiritual peak.

"clang!"

However, silver bells were shaking on the copper pillars on the left and right sides of the Star Receiving Platform, and faint sound ripples were emerging, suppressing all five powerful divine thoughts on the Star Receiving Platform.

This is an immortal formation that is no less powerful than the one at Linchuan Mountain Gate. It is so powerful that even five Mahayana monks would find it difficult to break it.

"Chenhui Realm, Tianxing Palace Ming Xiaozi greets all Xuanhuang Daoists!"

"All cultivators have secrets, so divine sense exploration is forbidden in this peak, even for Mahayana cultivators. I hope you can forgive me."

At this time, a middle-aged man appeared with a row of Taoist children. They stood below the golden boat and bowed to the Mahayana monks of Linchuan.

"I see. It was we who offended you."

On the golden boat, Supreme Lord Jin Guang smiled apologetically upon hearing the words, and bowed his head. Then he waved his sleeves and put the golden boat into his sleeves. Several Mahayana monks from Linchuan came with him to Ming Xiaozi, and they all bowed as a greeting.

Gu Yuan also bowed, but his eyes glanced past the peak and took in everything.

He is different from several Mahayana practitioners in Linchuan. He practices both power and magic. Although his spiritual thoughts are blocked, he can see through everything with his eyesight alone.

Although the restrictions in this spiritual peak were extremely deep, covering every palace and cave, and it was difficult for him to see through the caves and palaces, but the layout and approximate location of the entire spiritual peak were taken in by him, and he had a vague understanding of this peak in his mind.

"My fellow Taoists have just entered Chenhui and don't understand the rules of Chenhui. This is understandable and cannot be considered an offense."

Ming Xiaozi smiled slightly, and then a Taoist child came up behind him, holding five jade boxes and presented them to everyone.

"The Xuanhuang Realm is the source of the ancients and the home of the Supreme. Everyone in my Chenhui respects it. However, my Chenhui is a new realm under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace. The cultivation methods and customs of the Tianxing Palace are completely different from those of Xuanhuang. To avoid misunderstandings, I have asked Tong'er to prepare several copies of the Tianxing Cultivation Canon. You will know once you take a look."

Ming Xiaozi bowed his head, and several Taoist children took the opportunity to present the jade book in the jade box.

This "Tianxing Cultivation Canon" is not some obscure secret method of cultivation, it just introduces the cultivation matters and behavioral norms of the Tianxing Palace, similar to the existence of the "Sect Code". Gu Yuan and others are all Mahayana cultivators with vast spiritual thoughts. With just a glance, they can take in everything recorded in the canon.

Several people frowned immediately, including Gu Yuan.

The Tianxing Palace governs the mountains and rivers covering billions of miles and has great power, but the power of the cultivators within is not based on their "cultivation" but on their "contribution."

Whoever makes the greatest contribution can occupy the best cave, the best spiritual peak, directly enjoy the best cultivation resources, and even directly become the master of the Tianxing Palace and command all the cultivators in billions of mountains and rivers.

There are no special privileges for cultivation here.

Just like now, although Gu Yuan and others came from across the border and are Mahayana cultivators, they are just a group of outsiders "without contribution" to the Tianxing Palace.

Out of moral obligation, one can be allowed to stay in five "sixth-level caves" for seven days, but after seven days, if one does not make any contribution to the Tianxing Palace, one will be expelled directly.

The same is true for Mahayana monks!
"Is Chen Hui's practice always like this?"

Master Jin Guang looked at Ming Xiaozi and asked with a frown.

Although the Chenhui Realm is a newly opened star realm by the Heavenly Palace, with rich resources and outstanding people, it is still under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace. His Linchuan Taoist lineage is the direct inheritance of the Heavenly Palace. Five Mahayana monks came across the boundary, but they were not even given a few cave dwellings?

You know, even in the Chenhui Realm, the Mahayana cultivators are top-notch, not just ordinary cats and dogs!
"Fellow Daoist, please don't get angry. This is how cultivation is done in our Tianxing Palace and even in the entire Chenhui Realm. Everything is about the word 'contribution'. If there is no contribution, then it is nothing more than a person who is of no benefit to this world. He only takes but does not give. What is the use of such a person?"

"You must know that although our Chenhui is vast and has countless natural treasures, if we allow others to take them without making any contribution, we will just be eating up all the resources."

Ming Xiaozi spoke with a smile, but his words made several Mahayana monks in Linchuan change their expressions.

This is a very profound statement.

"I guess you have made outstanding contributions to the Tianxing Palace, the Chenhui Realm, and even the Heavenly Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Dongyuan sneered and asked.

"I am not talented and have not made any great achievements in my life, but three hundred years ago I single-handedly killed a mid-level seventh-order 'Cloud Chasing Mastiff', expanded the territory by a million miles, and seized two seventh-order mines for the Heavenly Star Palace, as well as countless natural treasures. That's why I was granted the responsibility of being the seventh master of the Heavenly Star Palace, and I am in charge of all the miscellaneous affairs of the Heavenly Star Palace on my behalf."

Ming Xiaozi bowed and smiled faintly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Lord Dongyuan's expression changed slightly.

The Cloud-Chasing Mastiff is an alien species from heaven and earth with great magical powers. Xuanhuang has long been extinct. One can imagine the strength of Ming Xiaozi, who is able to kill a mid-seventh-order Cloud-Chasing Mastiff.

This matter of expanding territory is indeed a great achievement, there is no doubt that countless disciples with low-level cultivation can benefit from it.

"I see from the records in this 'Heavenly Star Cultivation Canon' that offering heavenly materials and earthly treasures is also a merit?"

When Supreme Lord Jin Guang saw the situation, he did not ask any more questions, but pointed at the treasure book and asked with a faint smile.

"You are right, fellow Daoist. Natural resources and treasures, expanding territory, creating new methods, helping fellow tribesmen, refining elixirs and weapons, finding immortal seals... all these things are contributions. For every contribution, you will get a corresponding reward. This has been the rule of my Tianxing Palace for tens of thousands of years."

"Even if you are a celestial spirit cultivator, as long as you contribute enough, you can become a hall master, command all cultivators, and gain supreme authority."

Ming Xiaozi replied with a smile.

"In that case, I have five precious medicines, all of which are seventh-level products. According to the treasure book, if I present them to your palace, they should be exchanged for more than 10,000 tributes, which can be exchanged for five seventh-level caves for ten years of cultivation. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

With a wave of his sleeves, the Supreme Lord Jin Guang waved his sleeves, and five spirit boxes hung in the air and fell in front of Ming Xiaozi.

"Please wait a moment, fellow Taoist!"

Speaking of exchanging contribution points, Ming Xiaozi's expression suddenly became serious, and a jade toad shining with golden light appeared in his palm.

"Cuck!"

The jade toad was originally just a dead object, but after seeing the five jade boxes, a golden light suddenly appeared in its eyes, and it seemed to come alive and let out an excited cry.

Not only that, the precious light in Yuchan's eyes shot out and landed directly on the five jade boxes, opening all five jade boxes. Then, illusory light words suddenly appeared on the five jade boxes.

"Seventh-level lower-grade precious medicine, Blood Bodhi, medium quality, can be exchanged for 10,300 contribution points."

However, this font was illusory and had not yet taken shape. The last few words "one thousand and three hundred" kept floating up and down, changing from "one thousand and three hundred" to "ten thousand" and "nine thousand and nine", and finally stopped above "nine thousand and eight".

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan and others immediately showed a look of surprise.

"This is the [Jade Treasure Appraising Toad] created by a patriarch of my Tianxing Palace. The information inside this toad is as vast as the ocean, linking all the contribution point information of the entire Tianxing Palace. The value of this precious medicine is changing at the moment because different treasures are being exchanged every moment."

"If there are more precious medicines with the same properties that can be used as substitutes, the contribution points of the precious medicines will change."

"This Blood Bodhi could be exchanged for 13,000 contribution points a month ago. But a month ago, seven Taoist friends joined forces to break through a Qilin Blood Cliff. There were many Bodhi treasures in the cliff, so the value of this medicine has been greatly discounted."

Ming Xiaozi held up the jade toad and answered with a smile.

Gu Yuan and others immediately showed a thoughtful look.

"May I ask, fellow Taoist, can this Jade Toad be exchanged for Contribution Points? How much is it worth?"

The Supreme Lord Jin Guang pointed at Yuchan and asked.

"This jade toad has different levels and can identify treasures of different levels. Mine is the best golden jade toad in the palace. It can identify all treasures recorded in the palace. It is now worth 30,000 contribution points."

Ming Xiaozi smiled lightly.

"Thirty thousand contribution points..."

Upon hearing this, Supreme Lord Jin Guang nodded slightly, but did not ask for the purchase for the time being.

Gu Yuan and the others naturally followed the lead of Lord Jin Guang at this time. Unless he spoke, no one would speak rashly.

At this moment, Baochan had already looked through all the precious medicines in the five jade boxes. The value of four of them were greatly discounted in the Chenhui Realm, and they did not even reach 10,000 contribution points. Only one rare [Xuanhuang Baolian] in Chenhui was exchanged for 20,000 contribution points, and finally reached 59,000 points.

"These contribution points should be able to be exchanged for five seventh-level caves."

The Supreme Lord Jin Guang asked with a smile.

"It's natural."

Ming Xiaozi was well prepared. A boy came forward behind him, holding another jade box with five jade plates carved with a nine-story palace on it.

"We are all under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace. Since you have come to practice in Chenhui, we welcome you. Although we cannot provide you with any special care, we can still give you this [Heavenly Merit Jade Plate] as a gift."

"As long as you refine the jade token, you can exchange contribution points. With contribution points, you can practice with peace of mind like me, cultivator Chen Hui."

Ming Xiaozi waved his sleeves, and five jade plates floated in the air and landed in front of the five people.

Lord Jin Guang pondered for a moment, then golden fire surged in his palm, directly refining the jade token in front of him.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan and others naturally followed suit and refined the jade tokens.

Ming Xiaozi smiled slightly and waved his sleeves. The jade toad opened its mouth and swallowed the five jade boxes directly into its stomach and disappeared.

On the [Tian Gong Jade Plate] in the palm of Jin Guang Shang Zun, jade light flowed, and then the words "Fifty-nine Thousand" appeared.

"call out!"

After Jin Guang Shangzun refined the jade token, he immediately understood its function. Without asking Ming Xiaozi, he just stretched out his hand and four streams of light flew out and landed on the jade tokens of Gu Yuan and the other three. Then, the number "ten thousand" appeared on each of the four people's jade tokens.

"May I ask, fellow Taoist, in this Tianxing Palace, can anything be exchanged for contribution points?"

After Supreme Lord Jin Guang divided the palace into points for Gu Yuan and the others, he did not go to the cave immediately, but continued to ask Ming Xiaozi.

Ming Xiaozi was not surprised to hear this, he just smiled and shook his head: "Of course, not everything can be allowed. Our Tianxing Palace is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace, and we must abide by the rules. How can we exchange the evil magic book for the treasure that harms the heaven and the evil magic?"

"But as long as it is honorable and righteous, it can be exchanged."

"What about the immortal classics and the immortal seal method?"

"Of course, immortal classics can be exchanged, and immortal seals can also be exchanged. My Tianxing Palace has a very high valuation on the contribution of cultivation methods, just to encourage all cultivators to contribute their methods. However, there are also cultivators who have some unique methods that they are unwilling to make public, but fellow Taoists can offer a reward."

"In my Chenhui Realm, there were only ten immortal scriptures bestowed by the Heavenly Palace at the beginning, but now there are already twenty-one immortal scriptures, and eighteen of them can be exchanged. You can imagine the motivation inside..."

“As long as the value is right, everything is negotiable.”

"Because contribution points can be used to connect to the Heavenly Palace and exchange for immortal treasures, no one will complain about having too many..."
