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.

"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.

Lin Xuan nodded: "Since everyone is waiting in line, I imagine the order isn't decided by queuing up. How is it determined?"

"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."

"Sect contribution?" Lin Xuan was momentarily stunned before his expression turned understanding. He knew what sect contribution was; any sect or family had it.

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.

Of course, the number of contribution points required for each service varied.

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?

However, there were always exceptions. Using the purple heart earth fire through a contribution system was incredibly fair—no one could object.

"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?"

"I'm not sure, Ancient Master. You'll have to check with the Tianwu Pavilion where all sect tasks are posted," replied the disciple.

"Ah, thank you."

"It's my pleasure, Ancient Master. This is what I should do." The condensation core cultivator was taken aback by the praise.

Lin Xuan waved his hand and left the stone house.

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.

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.

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.

The types of tasks were numerous, each with different difficulties, suitable for various cultivation levels.

"Meeting Ancient Master. What can this disciple do for you?"

A female disciple in court attire greeted Lin Xuan as he entered the Tianwu Pavilion, performing a respectful bow.

"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.

"Understood, Ancient Master. Please wait."

The woman apologized and turned towards a nearby stone pavilion, her steps light as she approached it.

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and followed closely behind.

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.

"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."

"Ah?"

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.

Eight million contribution points were indeed troublesome.

After all, earning these points wasn't easy. A mid-grade crystal stone could only be exchanged for one point.

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.

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.

"List all the most difficult sect tasks for me," Lin Xuan instructed.

"Yes!"

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.

"Ancient Master, done."

Lin Xuan took the jade cylinder and left the Tianwu Pavilion with a glow surrounding him.

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.

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.

Lin Xuan spent a night at the Golden Core Peak. The next morning, he left Cloud Concealment Sect.

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.

With a trace of light, Lin Xuan immersed his divine sense into the jade cylinder.

After a moment, he looked up with a thoughtful expression.

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.

Hunting high-ranking cultivators from the Heavenly Corpse Sect: each Profound玄阴真经 cultivator killed could earn one million contribution points.

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.

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.

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,
