“Uncle Master Lin, I understand. I wonder how much reward you’re offering for the task you posted. Is there a fixed amount or a limit to the merit points? Once the amount or merits are reached, the task will stop.”

Lin Yi laughed and said, “This is the first time I’ve posted a task. I don’t know much about the rewards. Can you give me some advice?”

In reality, he had already decided on the reward value based on the difficulty of capturing the evil spirits. However, he wanted to see what suggestions this disciple from the Merit Hall might have.

The disciple bowed and said, “Uncle Master, generally speaking, very few people take on the task of capturing evil spirits alone. They usually do it together with tasks released by the sect to maximize benefits.”

“If you’re not in a hurry to use them, you could use the standard reward values. In general, a deep-grey evil spirit is worth one hundred merit points, a black one is three hundred points, and a deep black one is six hundred points. However, if you do need them urgently, you would need to increase the rewards.”

Lin Yi couldn’t help but nod. An outbreak of evil spirits, which would attract a large number of them, only occurred in certain places. Otherwise, those who accepted the task would have to find the evil spirits themselves.

The value of the rewards for capturing the evil spirits was close to his estimates. After all, when he initially took on the Flower Thief task at the sixth layer of qi refinement, the reward was just a hundred merit points. And the strength of a deep-grey evil spirit was roughly equivalent to that of a cultivator in the middle and late stages of qi refining.

Meanwhile, a deep-black evil spirit was equivalent to the Foundation Building Realm. It wouldn’t be too difficult for several cultivators at the peak of Qi Refinement to kill one, but it would be challenging to capture it alive, so a reward of six hundred merit points was quite reasonable.

The more than twenty deep-black evil spirits brought to him by Senior Brother Li Yuan Qing were worth at least ten thousand merit points.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to increase the rewards to attract disciples of the sect to capture evil spirits. After all, he would condense his golden core in half a year and needed to gain enough virtue points.

Evil spirit outbreaks were rare, occurring only once every few years. Of course, small-scale disturbances caused by a few evil spirits did not count.

Lin Yi then said, “I am in a bit of a hurry. How about this? I’ll add fifty points to deep grey evil spirits, a hundred to black ones, and two hundred to deep black ones. The limit of merit points is twenty thousand. You can first accept the task items and distribute the rewards. I will come to collect them after I leave seclusion.”

Keeping twenty thousand merit points was of no use to him. He’d be better off exchanging them all for virtue points. Even if he didn’t use them all to condense his golden core, there would be plenty of uses for them in the future.

The disciple from the Merit Hall recorded all of Lin Yi’s requirements. He repeated the task’s target, reward, limit, time restriction, including the fees to be collected by the Merit Hall, etc., for final confirmation.

“Alright, Uncle Master Lin, the task has been confirmed. We will deduct twenty thousand merit points from you first. If the completed tasks don’t total this much, we will return the difference to you.”

Lin Yi nodded, signed his name on the task confirmation document, and the twenty thousand merit points were immediately deducted.

After posting the task, he left Tian Yun Xian City and returned to his cave mansion at Golden Sword Peak. He entered the secret realm and continued to refine the wind element inside his body.

Although his body was more robust than his dantian, he didn’t dare to use two strands of pill fire at random for a quick refinement. The fire elements traveled directly in his body, unlike in the dantian, where space buffered them.

Thus, after half a year and spending ten thousand virtue points, Lin Yi finally refined all the wind elements within his body. The resulting wind spirit liquid was slightly more than the thunder and lightning spirit liquid.

Simultaneously, there were no longer any wind elements within his body, and the lightness degree of his body greatly decreased.

In the title panel, under the cultivation technique column, it still showed the status of [Art of Flowing Clouds and Wind] Level Three. However, two new words, “lost power”, were added behind it.

“Lost power” meant that although his Art of Flowing Clouds and Wind was at the third level, it no longer had any power because he had refined all the wind elements introduced into his body.

When he started refining, Lin Yi considered whether to leave some wind elements in his body. However, since he was going to refine the golden core, he should have the will to fight to the end. Leaving a few would not make much difference.

If he failed to condense the golden core in the end, he could reintroduce this liquid form of wind elements back into his body through cultivation.

However, behind the Five Thunder Magic Technique, these two words did not manifest, because the Thunder and Lightning Element that the Five Thunder Spell practiced was originally in the Dantian. After his refining, it had turned into Spirit Liquid but did not disappear.

Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes and spoke with a smile to Pill Immortal Master: “Master, I’ve fully refined the Wind Element in my body.”

Zhang Dao Xuan nodded. At this point, he had calmed down, “All the preparations before Solidifying Pill are completed. Be at ease; whether it’s a success or a failure, it will enhance your ability.”

He didn’t want his disciple to be burdened with too much pressure because of high expectations.

“Master, I would like to take a few days off before returning to the Solidifying Pill process,” Lin Yi said. After half a year, it was time for collecting the results of the tasks.

“Sure, go ahead. Relax first before the big fight,” Zhang Dao Xuan nodded and agreed.

Lin Yi then activated his Teleportation Mantra, leaving the Secret Realm directly, still without bringing Zhi Ling back.

Back in the Liu Yun Sect, he once again rode his sword to the Merit Hall in Tian Yun Xian City, found a Merit Hall Disciple, explained his intentions, and was invited into a room.

Soon, a Foundation Establishment Elder from the Merit Hall arrived in the room and bowed with his fist, “Merit Hall’s Lu Guang Ping pays his respects to Brother Lin.”

Lin Yi sensed the cultivation level of this Merit Hall Elder, who was in the Early Foundation Building Stage third layer, one realm below him.

Within the Liu Yun Sect, except for the direct disciples of the Golden Core Real Person who follow the order of their admission to their respective masters, all other disciples are addressed according to their cultivation levels, with the more accomplished taking priority.

Even if they rank high among the direct disciples of some Golden Core Real Persons, if the cultivation level of disciples from other peaks is higher, they still have to address them as Senior Brother or Sister.

“Brother Lu is too polite.” Lin Yi also stood up to return the bow. After he sat down, he asked, “I wonder how the task I issued is progressing.”

Lu Guang Ping smiled, took out a Storage Bag, and handed it to Lin Yi, “Brother Lin, there haven’t been any outbreaks of Evil Spirits in the past half year, which has made it more challenging to complete the task.”

“However, about fifteen thousand Merit Points tasks have been completed. Everything is in here. After our Merit Hall confirmed, we guarantee the accuracy of the Evil Spirits level.”

“Brother Lu, you made it sound like very few Evil Spirits have been collected,” Lin Yi said calmly without any tension.Ne/w novel chapt𝒆rs are p/u/blished on no/vel(/bin(.)c/o/m

Lu Guang Ping laughed heartily, “Hahaha, I was just pulling your leg, Brother. Please forgive me. Please confirm the task items.”

Lin Yi sent his Divine Sense into the Storage Bag and saw dozens of jars. These jars could seal the Evil Spirits inside but he could still sense their aura.

On the jars, the levels of these Evil Spirits were clearly marked. After confirming each one, they were essentially genuine.

If nothing goes wrong, the Evil Spirits obtained from these fifteen thousand Merit Points should provide him with twenty-five thousand Virtue Points.

“Thank you, Brother Lu. The task items have been confirmed,” Lin Yi put away the Storage Bag and said with a smile.

Lu Guang Ping nodded with a smile, “Please sign to confirm, Brother. Apart from the task rewards, you also need to pay a thousand Merit Points as the fee to the Merit Hall for issuing the task.”

Lin Yi straightforwardly signed his name. Spending a thousand points to get the Merit Hall to issue tasks and confirm the Evil Spirits was worth it. Even though it was pricy, the efficiency was higher than doing it himself over six months.

Afterwards, he left Tian Yun Xian City and returned to his Cave Mansion on Golden Sword Peak. He entered the Secret Realm to begin the final pill-condensing process.
