After choosing the magical artifact, the next two things to do are exchange for contribution points and assign dormitories.

It's worth mentioning that the contribution points can also be exchanged on the second floor of the Foreign Affairs Hall, but the window is different, and it's conveniently located on the way.

The recycling window was at the very back on the second floor, where a fat old man with a palm-leaf fan was lying on a recliner, slowly rocking back and forth.

Upon seeing Chu Xuan and his group, the old man's eyes immediately lit up, and he jumped to his feet. "Newcomers, another secret realm has appeared?"

"Mr. Qian, you have such sharp eyes!" An Qiuyue said with a smile.

"Of course, you've been doing this for five hundred years, your eyes are sharp now." Old Qian laughed heartily, then looked at Chu Xuan and said:

"Young man, bring out all the good stuff, let me, Old Qian, take a look."

An Qiuyue began by saying, "Junior Brother Chu, Elder Qian is an elder of the External Affairs Hall and the number one appraiser of our Lock Dragon Hall. There's no treasure that can escape Elder Qian's eyes."

"This disciple greets Elder Qian!"

Chu Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. Another Nascent Soul cultivator from the Elder's Realm. The Federation's strength is truly formidable!

In just one day, he saw two Nascent Soul Realm elders.

"Stop with the formalities, just call me Old Qian. If you're too timid, you can call me Old Qian too."

"Old Qian!"

Chu Xuan immediately greeted him respectfully as a Nascent Soul Elder. If this were in another cultivation world, he would definitely be a Nascent Soul Elder, and Chu Xuan would not dare to be presumptuous.

"Hurry up and take the things out, let me, Old Qian, take a look at them for you."

"yes!"

As he spoke, Chu Xuan took out all the items one by one and placed them on the table.

Old Qian's gaze swept over the various items before finally settling on the spirit stones and storage bags.

"These spirit stones are good, hard currency, good stuff, but their grade is a bit low!" Old Qian said, giving a thumbs up as he played with the spirit stones in his hand.

"The spiritual energy concentration is decent. It's clearly from a secret realm rich in spiritual energy. Not bad. I'll give you two contribution points for each spirit stone, making a total of twelve stones and 24 contribution points."

After saying that, Elder Qian picked up the storage bag next to him and said, "This storage bag is also a good thing. It should be made of a kind of spirit wood with spatial attributes. It should be a second-tier spirit wood."

"However, such a small piece shouldn't require much wood. Cutting down one log should be enough to make three or four thousand pieces."

"Logically speaking, its value is only average, but the Federation is currently quite short of storage bags. I'll give you one for twenty contribution points, making it a total of two hundred contribution points!"

"Are storage bags really that valuable?"

The Federation is most lacking in spiritual energy, but has no shortage of various treasures. The shock that the four volumes of spiritual artifact illustrations brought to Chu Xuan had not yet disappeared. He never expected that the storage bag, a low-level magic artifact, which should have sealed the contents, would be so valuable.

"Ordinary items are worthless; the Federation has plenty of them. But storage bags are different."

"The Federation's storage bags were produced by a type of alien insect, but as early as the near ancient times, due to the decline of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the alien insects slowly became extinct."

"As time goes by, the previous storage bags are also used up. Currently, the storage method commonly used by disciples of the Immortal Mansion is the third-tier storage talisman."

"Using third-tier craftsmanship and first-tier materials, the talisman drawn is actually only of mid-to-high-tier second-tier quality. It is about the size of a suitcase and can be used more than a thousand times."

"It's passable, but it's nowhere near as convenient as your storage bag."

"These talisman papers of yours, if refined again, would be excellent materials for drawing storage talismans."

"There are quite a few, so I'll give you 500 contribution points in total."

"As for these three cultivation manuals, they're not very useful. One contribution point per manual is enough to encourage them."

"To sum it up, I'll give you 730 contribution points."

Although I don't know how much purchasing power contribution points have, I imagine it shouldn't be bad. A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't bully someone like me who's just a Body Refiner.

"Thank you, Mr. Qian. Oh, and this sword too."

"It's just a pile of junk on the roadside, I suggest you scrap it. But I don't collect scrap here. If all else fails, find a disciple from the Weapon Hall to dismantle it and make it into a pendant. You can exchange that for a lot of Federal currency in the Federation." Old Man Qian didn't even look up and just said it directly.

Chu Xuan gave a wry smile, realizing he had asked the wrong question, thinking he could exchange the materials for one or two contribution points.

However, the impact is not significant. Since we control the boundary gate and the Federation has no shortage of things, we can simply replace them with things that the Federation lacks and then sell them.

"Okay, okay, I'll take it back then."

"Mr. Qian, please keep two storage bags for me, and sell the rest."

"Alright, that's a total of 690 contribution points. Take care, come back if you find anything good." Old Qian lay back in his recliner and said contentedly.

He took out his spirit jade and saw that the contribution points on it had increased from the initial one hundred to seven hundred and ninety. The initial one hundred contribution points were a benefit given by the Immortal Mansion to each new disciple.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Qian."

······

As Chu Xuan walked out of the Foreign Affairs Hall, he handed a storage bag to An Qiuyue, who was standing beside him. "Thank you for your help today, Senior An. I don't have much to offer, so I'll give you this storage bag as a token of my gratitude!"

"This is so valuable, Junior Brother Chu, you wouldn't happen to have a crush on your senior sister, would you?" An Qiuyue was taken aback at first, then smiled and said.

"You're joking, senior. I was just expressing my gratitude for your guidance."

An Qiuyue waved her hand and said, "What kind of favor is this? It was just a small thing, not worth mentioning."

"This storage bag is nothing to me," Chu Xuan said with a smile.

"That's true. With the secret realm by your side, a small storage bag is really nothing to you. I'll accept it then. Don't be fooled by the cheap purchase price; buying it with contribution points would cost at least a hundred, and you might not even be able to get it. Call me if you ever need anything. I'll definitely help you out for the sake of the storage bag!"

"So dark?"

Chu Xuan had thought that the Immortal Mansion could make money, but he never imagined it would be this shady, selling for five times the price in one go.

"It's alright. After the Immortal Abode is taken back, it still needs to be refined again. Moreover, only a small portion of the reclaimed abode is usually released for sale; the majority is stored in the treasury for those who need it."

"The Immortal Abode has provided us with a lot of support, and we must also support the Immortal Abode."

"Of course, within a limited scope, the Lord of the Palace often says: take care of yourself first, and if you have extra capacity, you can help the Immortal Palace."

"If you don't mind the trouble, you can sell them privately to disciples of the Immortal Abode; the Immortal Abode allows it."

Chu Xuan nodded thoughtfully. It wasn't a problem. The Immortal Mansion would give out cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts directly without any conditions. If there were any treasures obtained in the secret realm and there were any left over, one should naturally sell them to the Immortal Mansion, even if the Immortal Mansion's buyback price was relatively low.

"Alright, enough of that. There's one last step: I'll take you to choose a cave dwelling!"

The Immortal Abode is the core of the entire Federation, and every Immortal Abode disciple is a treasure of the Federation, so the conditions of their cave dwellings are naturally top-notch.

A three-story detached villa with a garden, terrace and practice room.

The basement level is a huge practice room, the first floor has a living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom, and the second floor has bedrooms, study and meditation room.

The conditions are undoubtedly perfect; they've reached their limit.

Chu Xuan was quite satisfied with all of them, and casually picked one that looked good and moved in.
