Chapter 955: Harvesting from Missions |
Every time the long-distance teleportation formation is used, it requires Void Nether Stones. The number and quality of Void Nether Stones consumed vary depending on the distance of the teleportation.
Jiuqu Province does not produce Void Nether Stones, so all of them are sourced from outside the region. When using the three long-distance teleportation formations in Taiyi Sect's territory, if the users don't have Void Nether Stones, they need to purchase them additionally from the operators of the formation.
In reality, Jiuqu Province's Cultivation World has always lacked Void Nether Stones. Most cultivators who use long-distance teleportation formations cannot afford to provide Void Nether Stones and have to buy them from the formation operators.
The Dali Dynasty's officials have sufficient Void Nether Stones for sale, but Taiyi Sect is lacking in this regard after officially breaking ties with the big merchant families like the Great Commercial Alliance. Although the sect has a considerable inventory of Void Nether Stones, it cannot afford to deplete its reserves without replenishment.
Meng Zhang quickly identified this problem and knew that they could only find a solution from Heavenly Palace. Not long after Niu Dawei achieved the Primordial Spirit stage, Meng Zhang gave He Luo True Monarch and Jin Li True Monarch several teleportation talismans for entering and exiting Heavenly Palace, providing them with the opportunity to visit there.
Although he did not spend their precious permanent residency quotas on them, Meng Zhang still provided them with considerable convenience. He also sent them a booklet he compiled and agreed that they could temporarily stay in Taiyi Sect's industries while they were in Heavenly Palace.
He Luo True Monarch and Jin Li True Monarch seized this valuable opportunity and visited Heavenly Palace multiple times. He Luo True Monarch's Fire-Water Sect was newly established, and Jin Li True Monarch had only one disciple, Jin Qiao'er. The two of them couldn't accept low-level missions like Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying did at the Steward Hall.
Heavenly Palace had many positions that needed to be filled, and many places lacked manpower. As Primordial Spirit cultivators, as long as they were willing to lower their status, they could still find some job opportunities and earn pure jade inspiration.
Moreover, both of them were only at the early stage of Primordial Spirit cultivation, and their personal cultivation did not currently require pure jade inspiration. They only needed Nine Heavens Refined Essence.
Of course, their time in Heavenly Palace was still limited. Without permanent residency privileges, they were reluctant to spend pure jade inspiration to stay there for extended periods.After Niu Dawei achieved the Primordial Spirit stage, his first visit to Heavenly Palace was accompanied by Meng Zhang. Meng Zhang led him to a small courtyard in Taiyi Sect.
During this time, Yang Xueyi had been busy completing missions and spent most of her time outside. Upon hearing that Meng Zhang had come, she rushed over to meet him.
Meng Zhang's purpose was to familiarize Niu Dawei with the situation in Heavenly Palace. In the future, Niu Dawei and Yang Xueyi could take turns overseeing Heavenly Palace, completing missions, and conducting various business operations.
As for purchasing Void Nether Stones from Heavenly Palace, it was only a minor matter. In Heavenly Palace, cultivators from most parts of Grand Dust World gathered, including those from prominent sects and even Holy Land Sect cultivators. As long as they had enough pure jade inspiration, they could buy most supplies here.
Shopping was convenient, but the use of pure jade inspiration for transactions made Meng Zhang feel a bit distressed. Moreover, bringing back a large quantity of Void Nether Stones to Taiyi Sect posed a bit of a challenge. Due to the spatial attributes of Void Nether Stones, they couldn't be stored in large quantities within storage magic tools. To transport a significant number of Void Nether Stones back to Taiyi Sect, it required more effort and multiple trips.
Meng Zhang assigned the task of purchasing Void Nether Stones to Yang Xueyi and didn't inquire further. Yang Xueyi had been staying in Heavenly Palace for these years and was much more familiar with the environment there than Meng Zhang.
Having visited Heavenly Palace, Yang Xueyi reported to him. Yang Xueyi and Xu Mengying took on Grandma Qiansi's missions, and the completion went relatively smoothly, successfully tethering some small worlds. Sometimes, they encountered challenging small worlds, and Yang Xueyi and Xu Mengying would join forces and mobilize Taiyi Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect cultivators to participate. In one recent mission, Taiyi Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect jointly deployed over twenty Gold Core cultivators.
As they tackled higher-level tethering missions, the required resources and effort also increased. However, the rewards were significant, not to mention Grandma Qiansi's additional rewards. Just the mission rewards alone were substantial.
During these missions, both Taiyi Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect suffered losses of cultivators, which was heartbreaking but inevitable. The number of disciples lost was somewhat acceptable considering the overall gains.Of course, there were a few instances of mission failures, which were unavoidable. The situation in the Void was ever-changing, and no one knew what could happen the next moment. Unexpected circumstances were quite normal.
Yang Xueyi informed Meng Zhang that if they mobilized the cultivators from the Hanhai Alliance and the local cultivation forces in Jiuqu Province, they could not only complete Grandma Qiansi's missions but also attempt similar tasks to increase their income.
At present, Taiyi Sect could use the achievement points obtained to exchange for a fixed resource point within the Nine Heavens, following Yang Xueyi's advice. Having a fixed resource point would provide Taiyi Sect with a stable supply of Nine Heavens Refined Essence and other precious spiritual items.
Meng Zhang heeded Yang Xueyi's suggestion.
As for which resource point to exchange for, they needed to carefully consider their options.
A resource point within the Nine Heavens could serve as the foundation of a Primordial Spirit sect. Azure Origin Sect was once able to dominate the position of the top sect in Jiuqu League largely due to having a fixed resource point within the Nine Heavens, continuously obtaining supplies like Nine Heavens Refined Essence.
Soon, Meng Zhang would head to Dali Dynasty's mainland. He would entrust all the management of Heavenly Palace to Niu Dawei and Yang Xueyi.
For Taiyi Sect, Heavenly Palace was a treasury with boundless wealth. As long as they managed it well, they could obtain many precious resources, laying the foundation for Taiyi Sect's rise.
When they were short-handed, both He Luo True Monarch and Jin Li True Monarch would come to help. Given their relationship with Taiyi Sect, they were trustworthy and could be entrusted with many matters, except for highly confidential ones. Naturally, they would be adequately rewarded for their assistance.
Since they were already willing to work for others to earn pure jade inspiration, they would certainly accept helping their familiar Taiyi Sect, especially when the compensation was fair.
Jin Qiao'er's Gold Core cultivation was about to be completed, and it wouldn't be long before she broke through to the Primordial Spirit stage. To aid in her progress, Jin Li True Monarch started diligently earning pure jade inspiration by running errands in Heavenly Palace to purchase some auxiliary items for her Primordial Spirit breakthrough. As long as Taiyi Sect offered sufficient pure jade inspiration, she wouldn't refuse the hard work.
