Chapter 851

The old man was wearing a sackcloth. He was in high spirits, and his eyes were as sharp as a blade. He swept his gaze across Zi Chen. Suddenly, Zi Chen felt a chill run down his spine. He actually felt a sense of crisis.

With just a glance, Zi Chen felt as if he was standing naked in front of the old man. He was completely seen through.

His original intention was to go down, but he changed his mind. He looked at the old man with extreme fear.

The two of them, one in the sky and one on the ground, stared at each other.

The old man's gaze swept across Zi Chen's body. His expression was not cold, but it was definitely not gentle. His gaze shifted, and the old man's eyes fell on the torvosaurus on his waist.

The torvosaurus also sensed it. It lowered its head and looked at the old man.

Seeing the torvosaurus, the old man's eyes flashed with an undetectable light. His gaze once again fell on Zi Chen. He said indifferently, "You have six hours to exchange for resources. One hour has passed. Now you have two and a half hours left."

"Ah." Zi Chen was startled. He looked at the old man.

The old man glanced at Zi Chen again and said coldly, "Four hours left."

Zi Chen did not understand. He asked, "Senior, I don't know what you mean."

"One and a half hours left." The old man did not explain. Instead, he shortened the time by one hour again. His voice became cold.

Zi Chen's expression changed. He did not understand what the old man meant, but he did not dare to ask again. His figure quickly descended.

The moment he landed, an energy light screen appeared in front of the old man. There were some words recorded on it, and there were some numbers behind the words.

However, these were the most ancient words. There was a whole page, and Zi Chen could not recognize more than five words. It was as if he was reading a book from heaven. He could only ask, "Senior, what is written on it? I don't understand."

"Hmph." The old man snorted and waved his big sleeve again.

The words on the light screen were changed to words that Zi Chen could recognize. The first thing that Zi Chen saw was the Fruit of Strength.

Fruit of Strength: 6 contribution point for 6 fruit.

Zi Chen was extremely surprised that there was a Fruit of Strength on the screen. After that, there was an introduction to the Fruit of Strength: It can increase one's physical strength and restore one's physical strength. It is very useful for Physique Cultivators and is an inheritance for Physique Cultivators.

Zi Chen's gaze moved down and saw the second item.

Low-grade elemental liquid: 6 contribution point for 655 drops.

Middle-grade Origin Liquid: 6 contribution point for 65 drops.

High-grade elemental liquid: 6 contribution point for 6 drop.

And at the back was the introduction of the Origin Liquid: A small amount can recover Origin Power, while a large amount can break through bottlenecks and increase one's cultivation level.

Core Condensation Pill: 6 contribution point for 6 pill.

Effect Description: Increases elemental energy control and condensation.

Under the Core Condensation Pill, Zi Chen actually saw the exchange list for primeval stones.

Middle-grade primordial stones: 6 contribution point, 655 stones.

High-grade primordial stones: one contribution point, ten primordial stones.

Supreme-Grade Primordial Stone: 6 contribution point.

Effect: It can be used for cultivation or setting up formations. The higher the grade of the primordial stone, the stronger the formation.

As Zi Chen's gaze moved down, he saw the entire exchange list. Zi Chen was immediately dumbfounded.

There were too many resources, too many. So many that Zi Chen didn't even dare to think about it. Furthermore, there was no lack of true heavenly treasures.

Other than resources, there were also pill weapons. There were all kinds of pill weapons, some for offense, some for defense.

Looking at this list, Zi Chen felt as if he was in a trance. Could it be that all the resources of the entire Martial Heaven Continent were gathered here?

The majority of the resources here could be exchanged for at least one contribution point. And the things that could be exchanged for were too many, too good, and too useful.

For example, top grade pill weapons: 6 contribution point for 6.

High grade pill weapons: 6 contribution point for 65.

Ordinary pill weapons: 6 contribution point for 655.

This was an offensive alchemy weapon. It was the same for defensive alchemy weapons.

There was also the Azure Spirit Pill. Looking at its introduction, Zi Chen found that its effect was the same as a treasure pill. In fact, its effect even surpassed that of a treasure pill. But its price was only one contribution point.

Other than that, Zi Chen also saw the Yuan Recovery Pill. The Yuan Recovery Pill was the Blood Yuan Pill that Zi Chen had always been using.

Ordinary Yuan Recovery Pills could be exchanged for a hundred with one contribution point. High grade Yuan Recovery Pills could be exchanged for ten, and top grade Yuan Recovery Pills could only be exchanged for one.

Zi Chen guessed that these top grade pills were refined from high grade yuan liquefied pills. A single one was enough to restore all the yuan energy in Zi Chen's body.

Seeing so many resources, Zi Chen was dazzled. He felt like he couldn't bear to look at them. As for the rest, he didn't even dare to look because there were just too many good things.

However, looking at the exchange list, Zi Chen quickly found a problem. There was a problem with this exchange list.

That meant there was a loophole. A drop of high grade yuan liquefied pills could be exchanged for a hundred drops of middle grade yuan liquefied pills. But the same amount of contribution points could only be exchanged for ten drops of middle grade yuan liquefied pills.

If he really wanted to use one contribution point to exchange, then one drop of high grade yuan liquefied pills would naturally be better than ten drops of middle grade yuan liquefied pills. Moreover, if he were to trade outside, he would make ten times the profit.

In addition to the loopholes, Zi Chen also found that the other items on the list also had loopholes. Moreover, the loopholes were even bigger. For example, a Fruit of Strength was also exchanged for one contribution point. But in Zi Chen's opinion, the true value of a Fruit of Strength was much higher than a drop of high grade yuan liquefied pills.

Not to mention one drop, even if it was ten drops, there would still be people willing to exchange for it.

Finding a loophole, Zi Chen was secretly delighted.

But Zi Chen quickly came to his senses. So what if he found a loophole? Not to mention whether the items on the list were real or fake, just the contribution points on the list were things that Zi Chen didn't have.

The old man kept looking at Zi Chen, his face expressionless. But Zi Chen's expression was constantly changing.

Finally, Zi Chen plucked up his courage. Regardless of whether the list was real or fake, he first needed to figure out what contribution points were and how to obtain them.

He moved his gaze away from the exchange list with great difficulty and looked at the old man. He asked respectfully, "Senior, may I ask what contribution points are and how I can get them?"

The old man didn't immediately answer, only looking at Zi Chen. Zi Chen's expression became increasingly anxious. There was less than three hours left to exchange for resources. Zi Chen was afraid that he wouldn't be able to obtain more contribution points in such a short time.

Zi Chen became more and more anxious. The old man's expression finally changed. The previous coldness had disappeared, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He said, "Take out all the materials you obtained on the ancient road. Wait for me to appraise these materials, and the estimated price will be in contribution points."

The old man's attitude became more amiable. Zi Chen also hurriedly expressed his thanks, joy appearing on his face.

From the first day to the fifth day of the ninth day, Zi Chen had obtained countless materials. Furthermore, he hadn't exchanged them all this time. It could be said that they were finally put to good use.

Zi Chen took out all the materials he had on him as quickly as possible. These materials piled up in front of him, forming small mountains of materials.

On the way here, he hadn't been able to exchange for any materials. There were so many that Zi Chen found them annoying. He hadn't even picked up the bad ones on the way here. But now, these materials were finally put to good use. After taking out so many materials, Zi Chen suddenly felt that he didn't have many materials. Not only did he not have many materials, but there were also too few materials.

Furthermore, Zi Chen was also somewhat regretting his foolish action of only snatching resources on the Four Eight Ancient Roads and not taking materials.

As the materials were laid out, the old man's eyes swept over them. It could be seen that the old man's eyes were filled with disdain. He clearly didn't care for these materials.

Zi Chen's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't have any confidence. He carefully asked, "Senior, can these materials be exchanged for contribution points?"

The old man nodded and said, "Although they are all trash, they can be exchanged."

Zi Chen felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. As long as they could be exchanged, it was fine. However, before he could even catch his breath, the old man pointed at a small pile of materials in front of him and said, "These are power crystals. There are too many impurities and they are too trash. I can barely exchange them for one contribution point."

Zi Chen's heart immediately sank when he heard this. Clearly, the old man's estimation of the materials' value didn't have any standards at all. Everything was based on each person's preferences.

At this moment, Zi Chen was also guessing whether the loopholes on the list that he had so proudly found were also made based on the old man's preferences.

Otherwise, why couldn't the old man see the loopholes that even a fool could see at a glance?

This was the old man's territory, and the old man was the boss. Zi Chen could only nod. That pile of power crystals seemed to be worth only three contribution points.

Then, the old man pointed at the materials next to him and said, "These things can barely be counted as thirty contribution points."

When Zi Chen heard this, his body staggered and he almost fell. Of course, it wasn't because he was too excited, but because he had encountered a shock that caused it.

He had received thirty contribution points all of a sudden because the old man had directly pointed at a small mountain of materials. Such a mountain of materials could only be exchanged for thirty contribution points.

Sure enough, the old man had lost his patience to appraise. He pointed at another mountain of materials and said, "Those are also trash, but they are considered the best of the worst. I'll give you eighty."

Zi Chen's face was full of gratitude. He was afraid that the old man would say thirty.

This was because after the old man finished speaking, he didn't ask whether Zi Chen agreed to the exchange. With a wave of his sleeve, he would directly take away the materials.

This was almost a forced appraisal. Zi Chen didn't dare to say a word, so he could only smile and hope that the old man would give him more.

"These can barely be counted as sixty. These are too trash. Twenty."

Just as the old man's finger moved, Zi Chen's resources rapidly decreased. Zi Chen's heart was bleeding because after comparing, the true value of many of the materials exceeded the old man's contribution points.

How was this an estimation? This was clearly a random price. Moreover, it was a round number each time. Couldn't it be sixty-one, twenty-three, or something like that? This way, there would be a lot more.

After the old man gave the price, Zi Chen hurriedly memorized it and then calculated in his heart. If he didn't calculate and the old man forgot to add up the contribution points later, it would be over.

Moreover, this wise old man, Zi Chen, gave Zi Chen an extremely unreliable feeling.

After all the materials were appraised and all were taken away, the old man looked at Zi Chen and said, "Only these materials."

When Zi Chen heard this, he was about to cry. It seemed that he hadn't even appraised the last pile of materials that was taken away.

PS: Hehe, this smile is a bit bitter.

The interest of others can destroy all of one's efforts. Sure enough, the cruelest thing is reality.

If you have the patience to wait, there will be an update tonight.

Today, a friend told me that there will be a power outage tomorrow. Coincidentally, I have something to do, so I may not be able to update tomorrow. (Actually, it was announced on TV, but I rarely watch TV. I only found out when I met and chatted with you today.)
