Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 220 - Exchange Resources
Time flew by, and with the help of human virtues, Lin Le and Ling Muzhu both perfected their cultivation techniques to the Nascent Soul stage.

Lin Le's merit points also decreased from nearly five million to three million. The reason for such a large consumption was that Lin Le used one million merit points to simulate the feasibility of the cultivation method.

Lin Le visited the Inner Affairs Hall again at Chongshan Peak.

Coincidentally, the person on duty today is the same steward from last time, Lu Fengzi.

Upon seeing Lin Le arrive, Lu Fengzi immediately greeted him with a smile: "True disciple of Lingzhu, is there anything you wish to buy this time?"

"Let's sell some things first." Lin Le tossed over a storage bag. "Take a look and see how much merit it's worth."

The wealth within a sect is naturally quite mixed up, and some of it that Lin Le and Ling Muzhu can't use, so it naturally has to be sold off.

"Okay." Lu Fengzi nodded, and when he stretched his divine sense in, he felt a little dizzy. This true disciple of the Spirit Pearl was really generous, even selling treasures.

“The forbidden treasure, the Spirit Rhinoceros Silver Needle, is corrupted in spirit, worth 70,000 Dao power; the forbidden treasure, the Qiankun Qi Guiding Pot, is intact, worth 120,000 Dao power; the forbidden treasure, the Qingling Breathing Lamp, is intact, worth 110,000 Dao power…” Lu Fengzi started calculating directly from the largest amount, becoming more and more alarmed as he calculated.

Based on this calculation, Lin Le's wealth is probably no less than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, and may even be much richer.

After calculating, Lu Fengzi announced a somewhat dizzying number: "A total of 2,321,643 merits."

"It's alright." Lin Le nodded slightly and handed over his identity jade token. "Transfer the money."

Lu Fengzi took the jade token, and asked hesitantly, "True disciple of the Spirit Pearl, are you sure you want to replace the Xuan Jade?"

Lu Fengzi could understand the need to sell the magical artifacts and some spiritual materials, since it was better to have no magical artifacts than to have them that weren't handy.

But Xuan Yu is a valuable commodity, and Lin Le really can't understand why he wants to replace it.

"Change it," Lin Le said.

For an ordinary cultivator, a piece of Xuanyu is definitely more valuable than a thousand top-grade spirit stones, but Lin Le is different; he has no shortage of methods to comprehend the Dao.

As for enlightenment, you can just mooch off Ling Muzhu, or at the very least, you can use human merit to directly achieve enlightenment.

At his current pace, he could directly ascend to the Nascent Soul Realm without any problem, so what he lacks most is not his understanding of the Dao, but resources.

One piece of Xuanyu spiritual energy is only equivalent to one hundred top-grade spirit stones. Giving it to him would be a huge loss, if not a huge loss.

Instead, it's better to directly exchange them for top-grade spirit stones, multiply the value by ten, and make a huge profit.

"Are you sure?" Lu Fengzi asked.

"Confirmed." Lin Le confirmed again.

"Alright, please wait a moment." Lu Fengzi took the jade token and left. Such a large amount was not something he could handle alone.

Soon, news that the Internal Affairs Hall had received a batch of new magical artifacts and spirit-level Xuan jade was relayed to the Dao Lords of each peak through the disciples.

Before they arrived, their spirits arrived first, and a group of Nascent Soul Dao Lords were arguing over how to exchange for the Spirit Realm Jade.

Lin Le has no shortage of methods for comprehending the Dao, but they do, so the Spirit Realm Jade is a hot commodity, sometimes sold out before it even hits the shelves.

"Fellow disciples, could you give me this Xuan Jade? My cultivation is at a critical juncture."

"Heh, Senior Brother Nanling, you got one last time, do you want another one this time? Get lost!"

"Exactly, exactly. You used the same excuse last time. Can't you come up with a more original reason?"

...A bunch of Nascent Soul cultivators were arguing in the void, and the argument even escalated into a heated argument.

In an instant, the sky above Xuantian Sect changed color as a group of people began to fight each other openly and secretly.

Yunxiaozi couldn't stand it any longer and stepped in to suppress the noise, saying, "Enough! What kind of behavior is this, a bunch of elders making such a racket!"

"If you want it, you can bid for it."

Many Daoist masters ceased their efforts and sent people to participate in the auction.

However, some clever people went directly to Lin Le, thinking that since Lin Le could exchange five Xuan Jade, he must still have some left.

“Nephew Lingzhu, do you still have Xuanyu? I can exchange it for it at a high price.”

"Nephew Lingzhu, do you still have any Xuan Jade? I can exchange it for you at a high price." "Nephew Lingzhu, do you still have any Xuan Jade? I'll exchange it for you with high-grade spiritual items."

……

They all gave similar answers and kept asking Lin Le questions.

Lin Le responded to each question with his divine sense, and all of them were met with a cold and indifferent reply: no.

Yunxiaozi also noticed this situation and drove away these divine senses.

A short while later, Lin Le finally got the jade token back.

After getting the jade pendant back, he immediately began shopping.

With a few taps of his hand, more than half of his two million Daoist cultivation points disappeared.

The Xuantian Sect does not have any pure-blooded true dragons or phoenixes, but it does have some mixed-blooded dragon and phoenix species.

Lin Le wasn't picky; as long as it worked, it was fine.

After purchasing another batch of spiritual materials and plants, Lin Le exchanged all his remaining cultivation points for spirit stones.

Since we're already preparing to flee, why keep all this Taoist cultivation? We definitely need to get rid of it.

A spirit deer, far more magnificent than the last one, came up carrying a storage bag and bowed respectfully to Lin Le.

Lin Le reached for the storage bag, turned around, and left.

But just as he rode away on a cloud, a young man blocked his way.

Lin Le stopped, knowing that this person was coming for him.

"What is it?" Lin Le asked indifferently.

"I have something to ask of you." The young man cupped his hands in greeting. "I am Mingxiao, a true disciple of Tianxing Peak. I have recently reached a critical juncture in my cultivation and am in need of some resources."

"I heard that you had a very fruitful trip down the mountain this time, so I came here specifically to borrow some of your cultivation."

"Borrowing money is no problem," Lin Le nodded slightly. "How much do you need?"

“Not many, just 100,000 Dao power,” Mingxiaozi said.

Ten thousand merits, isn't that much?
Lin Le's lips curled into a sneer. Ten thousand Dao cultivation points were worth a thousand top-grade spirit stones, while an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator only had a dozen or twenty top-grade spirit stones in assets.

Mingxiaozi's words were quite bold; did he really think he was a sucker?

Lin Le tossed him a low-grade spirit stone: "Here you go."

Ming Xiaozi didn't catch it. With his sharp eyesight, he could naturally tell that Lin Le had thrown out a low-grade spirit stone.

He narrowed his eyes: "Junior Brother Lingzhu, if you don't want to lend it, just say so. A low-grade spirit stone is enough to send a beggar away."

Lin Le's expression was cold: "I'm just trying to get rid of beggars. They come here to borrow money without any real intentions. What else is that but begging? Even the beggars outside the inn know to say a few auspicious words when they beg."

Ming Xiaozi was shocked by Lin Le's audacity. His face turned ashen with anger, and he said in a chilling tone, "Junior brother, are you insulting me? You are insulting Tianxing Peak!"

"Heh, Tianxing Peak must have had the worst luck to take in a piece of trash like you." Lin Le sneered. "You bunch of human-like things can only wave the flag and shout. Without the flag, you're like a motherless creature."

Mingxiaozi's face turned ashen: "Junior brother, you're bringing trouble upon yourself."

Lin Le clicked his tongue: "Tsk, you're talking tough now. Come on, let's have a go at the dueling platform. I want to see what trouble you can cause me, you dog."

"Come on then!" Mingxiaozi's face turned from black to red; he was truly furious.

"Let's go!" Lin Le said.

The two then flew towards the dueling platform.
