第两千一百零八章宗门贡献
Chapter 2108: Sect Contribution
“ ó ， zhè zhōng jiān kàn lái hái yǒu qū zhé ， nǐ xiáng xì shuō shuō 。” lín xuān yě bú shì bù jiǎng lǐ de rén wù ， shén sè yī huǎn de kāi kǒu le 。
“哦，这中间看来还有曲折，你详细说说。”林轩也不是不讲理的人物，神sè一缓的开口了。
"Ah, there seems to be more twists and turns here. Please elaborate," Lin Xuan wasn't unreasonable either; he spoke with a relaxed demeanor.
“ shī zǔ míng jiàn ， zhè zǐ xīn dì huǒ rú cǐ nán dé ， sān bǎi nián yī yù ， piān piān néng gòu jí qǔ dì huǒ de fáng jiān què zhǐ yǒu liǎng gè ， sēng duō zhōu shǎo ， mén nèi de zhū duō shī zǔ ， dōu pái duì děng zhe yòng ， suǒ yǐ ……” nà níng dān qī xiū shì liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī nán sè， rú cǐ zhè bān de shuō 。
“师祖明鉴，这紫心地火如此难得，三百年一遇，偏偏能够汲取地火的房间却只有两个，僧多粥少，门内的诸多师祖，都排队等着用，所以……”那凝丹期修士脸上lù出一丝难sè，如此这般的说。
"Ancient Master, this purple heart earth fire is so rare, occurring only once every three hundred years. Only two rooms can absorb the earth fire, making it like many monks fighting for a limited amount of porridge. Many senior masters within the sect are waiting in line to use it," said the condensation core cultivator with a difficult expression.
xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ jì rán dà jiā dōu děng zhe yòng ， xiǎng bì shùn xù bú shì pái duì lái jué dìng le ， shì tōng guò shén me fāng shì jué zé ？”
轩点了点头：“既然大家都等着用，想必顺序不是排队来决定了，是通过什么方式抉择？”
Lin Xuan nodded: "Since everyone is waiting in line, I imagine the order isn't decided by queuing up. How is it determined?"
“ shī zǔ guǒ rán cōng míng ， yì diǎn jiù tòu ， wèi le gōng píng ， shì tōng guò zōng mén gòng xiàn lái jué dìng shuí kě yǐ shǐ yòng zǐ xīn dì huǒ 。”
“师祖果然聪明，一点就透，为了公平，是通过宗门贡献来决定谁可以使用紫心地火。”
"It's through the sect contribution system, Ancient Master. To ensure fairness, those who can use the purple heart earth fire are chosen based on their contributions to the sect."
“ zōng mén gòng xiàn ？”
“宗门贡献？”
"Sect contribution?" Lin Xuan was momentarily stunned before his expression turned understanding. He knew what sect contribution was; any sect or family had it.
lín xuān xiān shì yī dāi ， suí hòu lù chū liǎo rán de biǎo qíng lái ， zōng mén gòng xiàn shì shén me ， tā qǐ huì bù xiǎo de ， rèn hé zōng mén jiā zú ， dū huì yǒu de 。
林轩先是一呆，随后lù出了然的表情来，宗门贡献是什么，他岂会不晓得，任何宗门家族，都会有的。
In simple terms, completing tasks assigned by the sect, or contributing certain crystal stones and treasures, could be converted into contribution points according to their value. With these points, one could enjoy various services provided by the sect.
jiǎn dān de shuō ， jiù shì tōng guò wán chéng zōng mén fā bù de rèn wù ， huò zhě xiàng zōng mén jiāo nà yí dìng de jīng shí bǎo wù ， zhè xiē dōu kě yǐ gēn jù jià zhí dà xiǎo ， duì huàn chéng gòng xiàn diǎn ， yǒu le cǐ wù ， rán hòu jiù kě yǐ yòng lái xiǎng shòu zōng mén de gè xiàng fú wù 。
简单的说，就是通过完成宗门发布的任务，或者像宗门交纳一定的晶石宝物，这些都可以根据价值大小，兑换成贡献点，有了此物，然后就可以用来享受宗门的各项服务。
Of course, the number of contribution points required for each service varied.
dāng rán ， měi xiàng fú wù ， xū yào xiāo hào de gòng xiàn diǎn yě shì bù yí yàng de 。
当然，每项服务，需要消耗的贡献点也是不一样的。
Generally, low-ranking cultivators were enthusiastic about earning contributions, while high-ranking ones were busy advancing their cultivation; who had time for such trivial matters?
yì bān lái shuō ， zōng mén gòng xiàn dōu shì dī jiē xiū shì rè zhōng qù zuò ， gāo jiē xiū shì ， wú bù máng zhe jìn jí ， shuí huì yǒu nà yàng de xián qíng yì zhì 。
一般来说，宗门贡献都是低阶修士热衷去做，高阶修士，无不忙着晋级，谁会有那样的闲情逸致。
However, there were always exceptions. Using the purple heart earth fire through a contribution system was incredibly fair—no one could object.
bù guò fán shì dōu yǒu lì wài ， bǐ rú shuō shǐ yòng zǐ xīn dì huǒ ， yòng zōng mén gòng xiàn de fāng shì ， jiù fēi cháng de gōng píng ， shuí yě méi yǒu huà shuō 。
不过凡事都有例外，比如说使用紫心地火，用宗门贡献的方式，就非常的公平，谁也没有话说。
"Based on this, Lin Xuan will likely be busy over the next five years and need to earn more sect contributions. Tell me, how many contribution points has the cultivator with the highest accumulated points for using the purple heart earth fire?"
“ rú cǐ kàn lái ， lín mǒu zhè wǔ nián shí jiān ， kǒng pà bù dé kòng xián ， xū yào duō zhuàn qǔ yī xiē zōng mén gòng xiàn ， nǐ gào sù wǒ ， rú jīn xiǎng yào shǐ yòng zǐ xīn dì huǒ de xiū shì ， zuì duō de yí gè ， yǐ jīng jī lěi le duō shǎo zōng mén gòng xiàn ？”
“如此看来，林某这五年时间，恐怕不得空闲，需要多赚取一些宗门贡献，你告诉我，如今想要使用紫心地火的修士，最多的一个，已经积累了多少宗门贡献？”
"I'm not sure, Ancient Master. You'll have to check with the Tianwu Pavilion where all sect tasks are posted," replied the disciple.
“ zhè dì zǐ yě bù qīng chǔ ， xū yào dào fā bù zōng mén rèn wù de tiān wù diàn chá xún ， shī zǔ xiǎng yào lǐng qǔ rèn wù ， yě xū yào qù nǎ lǐ de 。”
“这弟子也不清楚，需要到发布宗门任务的天务殿查询，师祖想要领取任务，也需要去哪里的。”
"Ah, thank you."
“ ń ， yǒu láo nǐ le 。”
“嗯，有劳你了。”
"It's my pleasure, Ancient Master. This is what I should do." The condensation core cultivator was taken aback by the praise.
“ bù gǎn ， shī zǔ tài kè qì le ， zhè xiē dōu shì dì zǐ yīng gāi zuò de 。” nà níng dān qī xiū shì shòu chǒng ruò jīng de shuō 。
“不敢，师祖太客气了，这些都是弟子应该做的。”那凝丹期修士受宠若惊的说。
Lin Xuan waved his hand and left the stone house.
lín xuān bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， lí kāi le shí wū 。
林轩摆了摆手，离开了石屋。
After a short while, he arrived at the peak of another mountain. While this area didn't have particularly impressive spiritual energy, it was an important place for Cloud Concealment Sect.
yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu yǐ hòu ， tā lái dào le lìng wài yī zuò shān fēng de jué dǐng ， zhè lǐ de líng mài bìng bù chū sè， dàn què shì yún yǐn zōng de yī zhòng yào zhī suǒ 。
一盏茶的功夫以后，他来到了另外一座山峰的绝顶，这里的灵脉并不出sè，但却是云隐宗的一重要之所。
The Tianwu Pavilion issued all sect tasks here; compared to the Heavenly Fire Pavilion, there were more cultivators coming and going, with varying levels of cultivation from flexible spirit period to Profound玄阴真经.
tiān wù diàn ， yún yǐn zōng suǒ yǒu de zōng mén rèn wù ， dōu shì cóng zhè lǐ fā chū ， yǔ tiān huǒ diàn xiāng bǐ ， zhè lǐ jìn jìn chū chū de xiū shì jiù gèng duō 。
天务殿，云隐宗所有的宗门任务，都是从这里发出，与天火殿相比，这里进进出出的修士就更多。
Various tasks were posted in the pavilion: gathering materials, seeking out heavenly treasures and earthly gems, hunting enemies, even teaching lower-ranking cultivators—all could be converted into contribution points.
xiū wèi yě gèng jiā de cēn cī bù qǐ ， cóng líng dòng qī zhù jī qī de dī jiē xiū xiān zhě ， dào dòng xuán qī de gāo jiē cún zài ， nà shì bù yī ér zú 。
修为也更加的参差不起，从灵动期筑基期的低阶修仙者，到洞玄期的高阶存在，那是不一而足。
The types of tasks were numerous, each with different difficulties, suitable for various cultivation levels.
diàn zhōng yě yǒu gè zhǒng gè yàng de rèn wù fā bù ， shōu jí cái liào ， zhuī xún tiān cái dì bǎo ， liè shā dí rén ， shèn zhì xiàng dī jiē xiū shì shòu kè ， dōu kě yǐ duì huàn chéng gòng xiàn diǎn de ……
殿中也有各种各样的任务发布，收集材料，追寻天材地宝，猎杀敌人，甚至像低阶修士授课，都可以兑换成贡献点的……
"Meeting Ancient Master. What can this disciple do for you?"
rèn wù zhǒng lèi fán duō ， nán dù yě shì gè bù xiāng tóng ， shì hé gè zhǒng děng jiē de xiū xiān zhě 。
任务种类繁多，难度也是各不相同，适合各种等阶的修仙者。
A female disciple in court attire greeted Lin Xuan as he entered the Tianwu Pavilion, performing a respectful bow.
“ jiàn guò shī zǔ ， bù zhī dào dì zǐ yǒu shén me kě yǐ wèi nǐ fú wù ？”
“见过师祖，不知道弟子有什么可以为你服务？”
"I want to check how many contribution points have accumulated for those who wish to use the purple heart earth fire," said Lin Xuan directly.
lín xuān jìn rù tiān wù diàn hòu ， yī míng shēn chuān gōng zhuāng de nǚ dì zi lián máng yíng le shàng lái ， liǎn rèn yī lǐ ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì gōng jìng zhī yì 。
林轩进入天务殿后，一名身穿宫装的女弟子连忙迎了上来，敛衽一礼，脸上满是恭敬之意。
"Understood, Ancient Master. Please wait."
“ wǒ xiǎng yào chá xún yī xià ， rú jīn běn mén xiǎng yào shǐ yòng zǐ xīn dì huǒ de xiū shì ， yǐ jīng jī lěi duō shǎo gòng xiàn diǎn le ？” lín xuān kāi mén jiàn shān de shuō 。
“我想要查询一下，如今本门想要使用紫心地火的修士，已经积累多少贡献点了？”林轩开门见山的说。
The woman apologized and turned towards a nearby stone pavilion, her steps light as she approached it.
“ hǎo ， shī zǔ shāo dài 。”
“好，师祖稍待。”
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and followed closely behind.
nà nǚ zǐ gào zuì yī shēng ， suí hòu jiù zhuǎn guò shēn qù ， lián bù qīng yí ， xiàng bù yuǎn chù de yī jiān shí diàn zǒu qù 。
那女子告罪一声，随后就转过身去，莲步轻移，像不远处的一间石殿走去。
Inside the empty stone pavilion, only a small array was in operation. The woman raised her hand and cast a spell, causing text to appear from the array.
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， yě suí hòu gēn le shàng qù 。
林轩眉头一挑，也随后跟了上去。
"The cultivator with the highest contribution points for using the purple heart earth fire is currently the Heavenly Sword Peak's peak master, Heavenly璇剑尊, already possessing 80 million contribution points."
shí diàn zhōng kōng wú yī wù ， wéi yǒu yí gè xiǎo qiǎo de zhèn fǎ zài yùn zhuàn zhe ， cǐ nǚ yù shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ le shàng qù ， guāng yùn shǎn shuò ， dùn shí yǒu bù shǎo wén zì cóng zhèn fǎ zhōng cuàn chū 。
石殿中空无一物，唯有一个小巧的阵法在运转着，此女玉手抬起，一道法诀打了上去，光晕闪烁，顿时有不少文字从阵法中窜出。
"Ah?"
“ xiǎng yào shǐ yòng zǐ xīn dì huǒ de shī zǔ hěn duō ， rú jīn zài gòng xiàn bǎng shàng pái míng dì yī de shì tiān jiàn fēng fēng zhǔ ， tiān xuán jiàn zūn ， yǐ yōng yǒu bā qiān wàn diǎn de zōng mén gòng xiàn 。”
“想要使用紫心地火的师祖很多，如今在贡献榜上排名第一的是天剑峰峰主，天璇剑尊，已拥有八千万点的宗门贡献。”
Lin Xuan's expression changed. He knew of Heavenly璇剑尊; before he entered the sect, this was the first Profound玄阴真经 cultivator in Cloud Concealment Sect, with formidable strength and a high chance to advance to the spirit transformation stage.
“ ó ？”
“哦？”
Eight million contribution points were indeed troublesome.
tīng shào nǚ zhè me shuō ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn yì sè， tiān xuán jiàn zūn tā dāng rán tīng shuō guò ， zài zì jǐ rù mén yǐ qián ， céng yǒu yún yǐn zōng dòng xuán qī cún zài dì yī rén zhī chēng ， shí lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yě shì gāi pài zuì yǒu kě néng jìn jiē fēn shén qī de yí gè 。
听少女这么说，林轩脸上lù出几分异sè，天璇剑尊他当然听说过，在自己入门以前，曾有云隐宗洞玄期存在第一人之称，实力非同小可，也是该派最有可能进阶分神期的一个。
After all, earning these points wasn't easy. A mid-grade crystal stone could only be exchanged for one point.
bā qiān wàn gòng xiàn diǎn ， zhè dào zhēn yǒu xiē má fán 。
八千万贡献点，这倒真有些麻烦。
Moreover, there were still five years until the purple heart earth fire appeared; during this time, the other's contribution points wouldn't remain constant.
yào zhī dào ， gāi pài de gòng xiàn diǎn ， kě bú shì nà me hǎo zhuàn ， yī méi zhōng pǐn jīng shí ， cái néng duì huàn chū yí gè gòng xiàn diǎn 。
要知道，该派的贡献点，可不是那么好赚，一枚中品晶石，才能兑换出一个贡献点。
This was indeed troublesome, but using the purple heart earth fire to refine treasures would enhance their power. Since he now knew of its existence, he had to strive for it.
ér qiě jù lí zǐ xīn dì huǒ chū xiàn ， hái yǒu wǔ nián ， zhè duàn shí jiān ， duì fāng de gòng xiàn diǎn ， bú huì yī chéng bù biàn 。
而且距离紫心地火出现，还有五年，这段时间，对方的贡献点，不会一成不变。
"List all the most difficult sect tasks for me," Lin Xuan instructed.
zhēn shì má fán ， bù guò shì yào shǐ yòng yī cì dì huǒ ， jū rán yào fèi nà me duō gōng fu ， bù guò lín xuān de chū zhōng hái shì bù biàn ， yòng zǐ xīn dì huǒ liàn zhì chū lái de bǎo wù ， wēi lì huì yǒu jiā chéng de xiào guǒ 。
真是麻烦，不过是要使用一次地火，居然要废那么多功夫，不过林轩的初衷还是不变，用紫心地火炼制出来的宝物，威力会有加成的效果。
"Yes!"
rú guǒ yī kāi shǐ bù zhī dào yǒu zhè zhǒng dōng xī yě jiù bà le ， rú jīn jì rán xiǎo de ， nà jiù yí dìng yào zhēng qǔ de 。
如果一开始不知道有这种东西也就罢了，如今既然晓得，那就一定要争取的。
The woman complied without hesitation and unfurled her sleeves, taking out an empty jade cylinder. She placed it in the array, various runes flooding into it.
“ jiāng zuì nán de zōng mén rèn wù ， gěi wǒ liè yī fèn biǎo ， běn zūn xū yào 。” lín xuān rú cǐ zhè bān de fēn fù dào 。
“将最难的宗门任务，给我列一份表，本尊需要。”林轩如此这般的吩咐道。
"Ancient Master, done."
“ shì ！”
“是！”
Lin Xuan took the jade cylinder and left the Tianwu Pavilion with a glow surrounding him.
nà nǚ zǐ zì wú bù yǔn zhī lǐ ， máng xiù páo yī fú ， jiāng yī kòng bái de yù tóng jiǎn qǔ chū ， suí hòu jiāng qí fàng dào zhèn fǎ lǐ miàn ， gè zhǒng fú wén yǒng rù qí jiān 。
那女子自无不允之理，忙袖袍一拂，将一空白的玉瞳简取出，随后将其放到阵法里面，各种符文涌入其间。
Returning to the Golden Core Peak, Lin Xuan issued a decree, summoning several of his main disciples. After a series of instructions, although he hadn't handled mundane affairs in years, as the head of this branch, it was necessary to address some matters before leaving.
“ shī zǔ ， hǎo le 。”
“师祖，好了。”
The cultivators showed great respect despite not knowing him well; their admiration for his power and past victories at the peak of the Golden Core Peak were evident.
xuān jiāng yù tóng jiē guò ， suí hòu hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， jiù lí kāi le tiān wù diàn 。
轩将玉瞳接过，随后浑身青芒一起，就离开了天务殿。
Lin Xuan spent a night at the Golden Core Peak. The next morning, he left Cloud Concealment Sect.
lín xuān huí dào le jīn dān fēng 。
林轩回到了金丹峰。
Over the next five years, while traveling, he could complete sect tasks to earn contributions. After advancing to Profound玄阴真经 stage, he needed to refine his innate treasures; this would be beneficial in both aspects.
chuán xià fǎ yù ， zhào jí běn mài jǐ míng zhǔ shì de dì zǐ ， yí tòng fēn fù ， suī rán zhè xiē nián lái ， tā cóng lái bù céng lǐ huì guò sú wù ， dàn míng yì shàng bì jìng shì gāi mài zhī zhǔ ， wài chū yǐ qián ， dāng rán duō shǎo hái shì yào chǔ lǐ yī xià běn fēng shì wù 。
传下法谕，召集本脉几名主事的弟子，一通吩咐，虽然这些年来，他从来不曾理会过俗务，但名义上毕竟是该脉之主，外出以前，当然多少还是要处理一下本峰事务。
With a trace of light, Lin Xuan immersed his divine sense into the jade cylinder.
nà xiē xiū shì yǔ lín xuān suī rán bù shú ， dàn biǎo miàn shàng ， zhì shǎo shì tā de xià shǔ ， yí gè gè yě dōu biǎo xiàn dé gōng jìng dào jí chù 。
那些修士与林轩虽然不熟，但表面上，至少是他的下属，一个个也都表现得恭敬到极处。
After a moment, he looked up with a thoughtful expression.
bì jìng lín xuān de shí lì bǎi zài nà lǐ ， dāng rì zài běn fēng jué dǐng ， yī zhāo dà bài sì mài gāo shǒu de wēi fēng ， dà jiā dōu kàn zài yǎn lǐ ， xiū xiān jiè shì qiáng zhě wèi zūn dì ， suǒ yǐ bù guǎn tā men xīn zhōng zěn me xiǎng de ， biǎo miàn shàng ， zhì shǎo duì lín xuān biǎo xiàn dé gōng jìng fēi cháng 。
毕竟林轩的实力摆在那里，当日在本峰绝顶，一招大败四脉高手的威风，大家都看在眼里，修仙界是强者为尊地，所以不管他们心中怎么想的，表面上，至少对林轩表现得恭敬非常。
Five years was not long for a cultivator. Even for him, it wouldn't be easy to catch up with Heavenly璇剑尊's contribution points; thus, he would have to start with the most difficult tasks.
lín xuān yòu zài jīn dān fēng xiē le yī xiǔ ， dì èr tiān zǎo shàng ， jiù lí kāi le yún yǐn zōng 。
林轩又在金丹峰歇了一宿，第二天早上，就离开了云隐宗。
Hunting high-ranking cultivators from the Heavenly Corpse Sect: each Profound玄阴真经 cultivator killed could earn one million contribution points.
wǔ nián hòu zài chóng xīn liàn zhì běn mìng bǎo wù ， nà zhè duàn shí jiān ， zì jǐ jiù yī biān wài chū yóu lì ， yī biān zuò zōng mén rèn wù hǎo le ， fǎn zhèng jìn jiē dòng xuán zhōng qī yǐ hòu ， yě xū yào mó liàn yī xià xīn jìng de 。
五年后再重新炼制本命宝物，那这段时间，自己就一边外出游历，一边做宗门任务好了，反正进阶洞玄中期以后，也需要磨练一下心境的。
This was a good deal, but few Cloud Concealment Sect members dared to undertake it. The Heavenly Corpse Sect was one of the five top sects in their region, with formidable strength; high-ranking cultivators from his own sect were not easily hunted. A misstep and he could become prey instead.
zhè suàn shì yī jǔ liǎng dé 。
这算是一举两得。
However, for Lin Xuan, this was different. With his power, ordinary Profound玄阴真经 cultivators were no longer a concern, and few within Cloud Concealment Sect knew him. Going to the Heavenly Corpse Sect to blend in would be perfect.
dùn guāng zhōng ， lín xuān jiāng shén shí chén rù yù tóng 。
遁光中，林轩将神识沉入玉瞳。
Today's update ends here. It wasn't due to my laziness; I have many other commitments as it's close to the Spring Festival. I understand that fellow daoists also feel this way, and I apologize for any inconvenience. Additionally,
Chapter 2108: Sect Contribution
"Ah, there seems to be more twists and turns here. Please elaborate," Lin Xuan wasn't unreasonable either; he spoke with a relaxed demeanor.
