“Oh, Senior Brother, why are you here this time?”
Li Xiaoyao looked at Ye Lin, his face full of confusion.
“Senior Brother, you’re quite popular now. You’re not here because you don’t have enough points to pass the assessment, are you?”
After Li Xiaoyao finished speaking, Ye Lin looked at Li Xiaoyao with a puzzled expression.
“Oh? How so?”
“Senior Brother, I’ve been working here for three months and I fully understand what this place is for. Some Inner Sect Disciples, because they don’t have enough points to pass the assessment, will exchange treasures for points to pass it.”
“And in these three months, ninety percent of the Disciples came for the assessment. So why are you here this time?”
Hearing Li Xiaoyao’s words, Ye Lin nodded.
The Inner Sect assessment requires a full one hundred thousand points. That one hundred thousand points might not be a huge pressure for him now, but for the other Disciples, the pressure is not insignificant.
They have to complete tasks while accumulating points, which leaves them utterly swamped.
However, within a ten-year period, they have three opportunities to apply for secluded cultivation. This means if they want to cultivate in seclusion, they can submit an application and then enter seclusion.
The time spent in secluded cultivation does not count, no matter how long you cultivate in seclusion, it doesn’t count until you exit seclusion, at which point the time counting begins.
Once the time limit is reached, the point assessment begins.
The ultimate goal of Nameless Mountain is not to make you overwhelmingly busy, but to give you a sense of urgency and prevent you from being idle.
“Junior Brother, you’re overthinking it. This time, I’m simply here to exchange for some points. To be honest, I want to buy a flying ship.”
After Ye Lin finished speaking, Li Xiaoyao suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Ye Lin.
“Senior Brother, what did you say? A flying ship?”
“Yes.”
Seeing Li Xiaoyao’s big reaction, Ye Lin’s expression was a bit puzzled. Isn’t it just a flying ship? Is it that big of a deal?
“Yes, Senior Brother, your tone is so calm. Do you know? The price of a flying ship is astronomical.”
“Many Nascent Soul Realm True Persons in Nameless Mountain don’t even have a flying ship. Do you know how much the cheapest flying ship costs?”
After Li Xiaoyao finished speaking, Ye Lin gently shook his head. How much does a flying ship cost? How would he know that?
“A flying ship, even the smallest and lowest-valued one, starts at three hundred thousand points.”
After Li Xiaoyao finished speaking, Ye Lin was slightly surprised. He only knew that the thing was cool, but he didn’t expect it to be so expensive.
Three hundred thousand points? Ordinary Inner Sect Disciples would need to work hard for decades to afford it, but if they spent all their accumulated points on a flying ship, how would they live?
“Moreover, a three hundred thousand point flying ship can only be purchased by those with status and qualifications. Ordinary Nameless Mountain Inner Sect Disciples are simply not qualified to buy one. Now, Senior Brother, you should understand why I’m so surprised, right?”
After Li Xiaoyao finished speaking, Ye Lin nodded in agreement.
It was no wonder Li Xiaoyao was so surprised; even he was astonished.
“Don’t mention those for now. First, look at these things. How many points can they be exchanged for?”
After Ye Lin finished speaking, he took out the useless treasures and placed them on the table.
“Senior Brother, please wait, I’ll take a look for you.”
After Li Xiaoyao finished speaking, he began to inspect them.
The price of a treasure is determined by its function, grade, practicality, and scope of use.
After all, if you give me an Earth Rank Low Grade broken sword, in terms of grade, it is indeed Earth Rank Low Grade, but in terms of function and practicality, it’s really just average.
And Li Xiaoyao carefully inspected each one.
His brain was working frantically, as before entering the pawn shop, he had spent an hour memorizing all the various precautions and books on pricing treasures.
After all, the terrifying Divine Soul of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator was there; a million words of study material could be imprinted into his mind in a second.
If Cultivators were to work, perhaps there would be no livelihood left for Mortals.
After all, Cultivators learn very quickly. An ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator can learn everything an ordinary Mortal learns in a lifetime within a single day.
Li Xiaoyao spent a full half-hour inspecting the treasures Ye Lin brought, and only then did he stand up, his face filled with shock.
And Li Xiaoyao’s next sentence directly stunned Ye Lin quite a bit.
“Senior Brother, did you go tomb raiding somewhere? Whose tomb from the ancient era did you raid? Why didn’t you take me with you?”
Hearing Li Xiaoyao’s words, Ye Lin’s body swayed slightly.
Good gracious, his opening remarks were extraordinary.
“Junior Brother, how many points do they add up to?”
Ye Lin asked calmly. He estimated that it should at least reach three hundred thousand points.
After all, most of these things were taken from the place where the Jade Emperor cultivated in seclusion. Even a strand of the Jade Emperor’s hair would be extraordinary.
“These things combined are worth a total of one million three hundred eighty thousand points.”
Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then spoke.
Hearing this, Ye Lin was surprised. Good heavens, there’s actually that much?
“Senior Brother, honestly, where did you go tomb raiding? Give me the location, I’ll go pick up some scraps.”
Li Xiaoyao quietly came beside Ye Lin, pulling his arm and asking tentatively.
One million three hundred eighty thousand points! That’s enough to exchange for a Heaven Rank weapon at Nameless Mountain!
What kind of grade is a Heaven Rank weapon? If thrown into the outside world, it would be a peerless treasure seen once in a thousand years, something even Nascent Soul Realm True Persons would fight over to the death.
More seriously, it could directly alarm all the forces in an entire prefecture, causing all the forces in that prefecture to join the struggle.
This is not an exaggeration at all.
After all, most Combined Dao Stage True Lords currently use Earth Rank High Grade weapons.
Only a few slightly wealthier ones have a Heaven Rank weapon by their side.
“Junior Brother, I was in the Heavenly Palace Ruins a few days ago, and these things were brought out from the Heavenly Palace Ruins. As for the location? It’s in the Yao Race heartland, a bit far from here.”
“But it’s not too far. Alright, I’ve told you the location. Go ahead.”
Ye Lin shrugged indifferently and said.
And Li Xiaoyao was completely silenced. Heavenly Palace Ruins? Well, he spoke too much.
“Senior Brother, take out your token. I’m going to transfer the points to you now, but let me remind you one last time: if these items are exchanged, it will cost more than one hundred eighty thousand points to get them back.”
“I’m sure.”
Hearing Li Xiaoyao’s words, Ye Lin nodded and said.
After all, the pawn shop needs to operate. If an item is pawned for, say, three Top-Grade Spirit Stones, then if you want to get it back later, it will cost at least five Top-Grade Spirit Stones.
“Good.”
Hearing Ye Lin’s affirmation, Li Xiaoyao solemnly took out a golden token and began to transfer the money to Ye Lin.
Looking at the string of points on the golden token, Ye Lin widened his eyes, guessing that this string of numbers must be at least ten digits.
“Alright, Senior Brother, one million three hundred eighty thousand points have been transferred.”
After a while, Li Xiaoyao spoke.
Ye Lin then opened his token and looked at his balance, nodding. It had indeed been transferred.
It must be said that Nameless Mountain is quite convenient in this regard, at least more convenient than carrying thousands or tens of thousands of Spirit Stones when going out in the outside world.
