C427 Earning merit points
The only reason was because he found out about the conditions to enter the Misty Secret Realm from Old Bai.
A true disciple, ranked in the top 10!
Only people who had reached this level would have the right to represent their sects and enter the Misty Secret Realm.
There were two ways to become a true disciple.
The first was to pass the assessment of the Successor Disciples.
However, due to the inheritance of the Void God Hall, Chen Yu hadn't been able to advance to a true disciple yet. If he wanted to take the test again, he would have to wait for next year.
There was not enough time to pass the examination and become a true disciple.
Therefore, Chen Yu could only consider a second method, which was to obtain the rights of a Successor Disciple through the achievements of the sect.
If he wanted to become a true disciple, he would need to pay 10,000 sect contribution points!
If an ordinary inner court disciple wanted to gather these contribution points, it would be impossible without 10 or 20 years of time.
However, as a manager of the Treasure Beast Palace, Chen Yu could obtain ten, or even twenty times the amount of merit points for others.
However, if he wanted to collect 10,000 contribution points, he would still need around half a year.
In three months, Chen Yu could obtain at most 5000 contribution points by relying on the Treasure Beast Palace.
There was still a gap of 5000 contribution points which gave Chen Yu a headache.
At this time, his senior brother Zhao Yijian came to look for Chen Yu.
"Chen Yu, I heard you are worried about your contribution points?" Zhao Yijian went straight to the point.
"That's right, I need to collect at least 5000 contribution points within three months. But no matter how I think about it, I don't have any good methods …" Chen Yu frowned.
"I know some ways to earn merit points. I wonder if I can help you." Zhao Yijian said.
"Oh? What kind of connections do you have? Chen Yu's spirit was roused.
"First, exchange for merit points." As he spoke to here, Zhao Yijian smiled lightly and said, "Chen Yu, ever since you came to the sect, you have basically focused on cultivation and know very little about the matter of resources."
"You must know that in the sect, many people have different needs for resources. Some people need medicinal pills, some people need spiritual tools, and some people need cultivation techniques. "
"As for the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect, they are completely uninterested in ordinary gold and silver objects. Thus, the sect's merit points have become currency traded by everyone."
"The Clear Sky Sect has provided the disciples with a place to trade. That place is known as the Hall of Contributions. As long as there are suitable resources, they will naturally be exchanged for merit points!"
Hearing Zhao Yijian's answer, Chen Yu's eyes lit up.
"In that case, is it easy to sell medicinal pills in the Hall of Contributions?!" Chen Yu asked.
"Pills are the most popular materials in the sect, especially pills that can increase one's cultivation or spiritual power." Zhao Yijian replied.
"Great!" Chen Yu was overjoyed, the pressure on his heart had finally relaxed by a little.
Then, Chen Yu continued to ask: "Then Senior Brother, what is the other method you mentioned?!
"The second method is to complete the Sect's mission!"
"The sect missions were given to the disciples by Clear Sky Sect. The rewards for many of these missions are the sect's merit points."
"However, depending on the mission, there will also be a difference in the amount of merit points awarded. However, the principle behind this is that the greater the risk, the greater the benefit. The simpler the task, the less merit points would be rewarded. The more difficult the mission is, the higher the reward will be. " Zhao Yijian explained.
"Thank you for the reminder, senior. I finally have some ideas …" Chen Yu expressed his gratitude.
Then, the two chatted for a while before Zhao Yijian took his leave.
He knew that Chen Yu still had a lot of things to attend to after this.
After Zhao Yijian left, Chen Yu also walked out of the courtyard, heading towards the Merit Point Palace Hall that Zhao Yijian had mentioned.
When he stepped into the Merit Palace Hall, Chen Yu just realised that there was actually such a lively place in the sect.
The number of figures that came and went from the Audience Hall was extremely numerous.
From the true disciples, to the sect elders, to the outer sect disciples, to the ordinary servants, they were all looking for people to trade with.
Every single trader placed a booth in front of them.
Next to each booth, there would be a list of items that needed to be traded to facilitate the transaction.
After casually sweeping a glance at the names of the trades in the surroundings, Chen Yu discovered that it was indeed as Zhao Yijian had said.
There were four or five people by his side who were looking for cultivation pills.
There were also other people who traded martial arts manuals, spirit stones, and spirit artifacts.
Chen Yu focused on the stalls that were dealing with pellets.
Amongst them, the merit points required for a low-tier pill would probably not exceed five.
Intermediate pills required at least twenty contribution points each.
As for high tier pills, the price was more than a hundred.
Even if the price was increased by several times, or even by a hundred times, it would still cost at least hundreds of times.
This was because cultivation was the key in a sect. A spirit pill that could raise one's cultivation was naturally a good aid for cultivation.
As such, anyone who sold such a pill would quickly be sold out!

Reading till here, in Chen Yu's heart, a "great plan" to earn contribution points slowly surfaced.
With his current alchemy strength, he only needed to learn a little more to be able to concoct pills that would raise his cultivation level.
The raw materials needed for these ammunition would at most be less than half of the selling value of the ammunition.
In other words, Chen Yu only needed to spend his contribution points to buy raw materials.
This method seemed simple, but none of the pill refiners in the sect used it.
This was because the other apothecaries had a success rate of around 50%.
In other words, if they managed to successfully forge the pills, they would only be able to earn a small sum of money. If they made the slightest mistake, they would be losing money.
This was one of the main reasons why the Hall of Contributions was unable to meet the demand for pills.
However, Chen Yu did not have such considerations.
With the Divine King's Will, his success rate in pill refining was almost 100%, so there was no possibility of him losing money.
Therefore, after walking around the hall, Chen Yu brought a large amount of raw materials and left.
After returning to his own residence, Chen Yu arranged the raw materials he bought one by one.
"Yellow Scar Grass, Chicken Blood Stone, Illusory Butterfly Flower, White Bone Powder …"
There were a total of seven medicinal pills, each with ten portions.
These materials were precisely the materials needed to refine the Muscle Altering pill.
There were two main reasons why Chen Yu chose to refine the Muscle Altering Pill:
Firstly, the difficulty of refining this kind of pill was relatively low, and the ingredients weren't expensive.
Secondly, the sales of this kind of pill was the highest in the Hall of Contributions. It could be quickly converted into merit points.
The reason why Chen Yu only bought ten sets of ingredients was because he wanted to test his method to be successful.
After everything was prepared, Chen Yu began to refine the Muscle Altering pill.
