Free Web NovelChapter 290: Personal Identification Token
"I am Xiao Chen. It is my first time in the Neutral Cultivation Alliance." Tang Yin replied with half of the truth. He did not want to use his real identity. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"No wonder I did not recognize Fellow Cultivator Chen. So Fellow Cultivator is new here. No worries, leave everything to me!" Liu Hao nodded in enlightenment and patted his chest with reassurance.
"Then I would like to thank Fellow Cultivator Liu in advance." Tang Yin saluted Liu Hao and expressed his gratitude with sincerity.
Liu Hao acknowledged Tang Yin’s action with a nod before reaching into his storage ring and retrieving a white jade token. The token featured an intricate carving of two hands interlocked in a handshake. It was the emblem of the Neutral Cultivation Alliance.
"This is the Neutral Cultivation Alliance’s Personal Identification Token. It is given to all cultivators who wish to accept missions from the Neutral Cultivation Alliance."
"You don’t have to use your real name. Instead, we wish to preserve everyone’s identity and allow code names. Any code name is fine as long as it is not inappropriate or disrespectful. Of course, you can also use your real name if you wish."
"In addition, the Personal Identification Token enables the user to keep track of their contribution points and redeem them for various resources and treasures they desire. We of the Neutral Cultivation Alliance possess all the resources one can desire. It is only a matter of having enough contribution points to redeem them."
"Any mission the user selects will be transferred into the Personal Identification Token along with the specific details and requirements of said mission."
"Lastly, the Person Identification Token can be used to remotely contact the Keeper who gave out the Personal Identification Token. In this case, you will be able to contact me."
"If you decide to leave this Branch of the Neutral Cultivation Alliance and wish to accept missions from another Branch, you can change the contact personnel to that Branch’s seventh-floor Keeper."
Liu Hao explained the uses and function of the Personal Identification Token to Tang Yin with perfect detail and enthusiasm.
"Any questions or doubts?" Liu Hao asked after the end of his long speech.
"How can I exchange my resources for contribution points?" Tang Yin asked.
All cultivators required specific types of resources. They were bound to acquire unneeded resources and would rather exchange them for contribution points which could be used to redeem the resources that they required.
"You will need to contact me personally to conduct the exchange." Liu Hai explained.
Tang Yin nodded and didn’t ask any further questions.
Liu Hao handed the Personal Identification Token to Tang Yin upon witnessing that he had understood everything.
Tang Yin sent his divine sense into the Personal Identification Token and was surprised. The first thing to pop up was ’Input Name’.
’Quite advanced. I’ll go with Demonic Asura.’ Tang Yin put down his code name into the Personal Identification Token. It was not a bad thing to have 2 identities, Xiao Chen and Demonic Asura.
After all, if one discovered his ’real identity’ as Xiao Chen, they would not suspect even that persona as fake or made up.
After creating his code name, Tang Yin saw 3 more options.
’Contribution Points: 0.’
’View Exchange Market.’
’Current Mission: None.’
Tang Yin was intrigued by the ’View Exchange Market’ option. He selected it with his divine sense. The next instant, a large list of names and numbers popped up.
’Starlight Ore: 10 Contribution Points.’
’Tier 8 Artifact Moonlight Pearl: 20 Contribution Points.’
’Sunfire Gem: 35 Contribution Points.’
’Rank 3 Wingblade Bat King’s Demonic Beast Core: 30 Contribution Points.’
All of the more common resources and treasures were at the top of the Exchange Market. As Tang Yin scrolled down, he saw much rarer and more precious resources, some he was even familiar with.
’Blood Essence Stone: 300 Contribution Points.’
Sun’s True Essence: 400 Contribution Points.’
This allowed Tang Yin to gain a brief understanding of the value of contribution points. He wanted to find out the price of entry to a Holy Land.
’1 Drop of Myriad Spirit Milk: 1,000 Contribution Points.’
Upon seeing this, Tang Yin was tempted to trade some of his Myriad Spirit Milk in for contribution points. However, after careful consideration, he decided against doing so.
First, he would be exposing his wealth if he did so. Second, he would most likely entice Liu Hao’s greed which could lead to future troubles. Besides, he had found an alternative method to quickly gain contribution points.
’Rank 7 Lava Serpent’s Demonic Beast Core: 1,500 Contribution Points.’
’Rank 7 Lava Serpent’s Beast Soul: 1,500 Contribution Points.’
’Rank 7 Lava Serpent’s Scales: 1 Scale = 80 Contribution Points.’
’Rank 7 Lava Serpent’s Venom Sack: 600 Contribution Points.’
’Rank 7 Lava Serpent’s Bones: 1 Bone = 150 Contribution Points.’
’Rank 7 Lava Serpent’s Gallbladder: 400 Contribution Points.’
’Rank 7 Lava Serpent’s Meat: 300 Contribution Points.’
Tang Yin could see a long list of everything. Literally, everything that existed in the Bright Yang Continent was listed inside the Exchange Market. He could even see individual parts of all the Demonic Beasts he had killed.
Just the Lava Serpent’s entire corpse, Beast Soul and Demonic Beast could net him a staggering 4,530 contribution points. And this was considering that he only traded in 1 bone and 1 scale. If he exchanged the entire corpse, the value would be at least 6,000 contribution points.
Not to mention, Tang Yin could also see the prices of other Demonic Beasts he possessed such as the Three-Tailed Ice Wolf, the Thunder Scale Lizard, the Diamondback Bison, etc.
If he decided to cash in all of these Demonic Beast’s body parts, Demonic Beast Cores and their Beast Souls, he would obtain an astronomical amount of contribution points.
Tang Yin was very tempted. He wanted to trade all of their corpses in immediately, but he withheld himself. He wanted to confirm the price of entering a Holy Land. It took a while, but he eventually found the prices somewhere at the bottom of the Exchange Market.
’Frostbite Glacier Holy Land: 150,000 Contribution Points.’
’Azure Ocean Holy Land: 150,000 Contribution Points.’
’Thundering Falls Holy Land: 200,000 Contribution Points.’
’Fire Dragon Lake Holy Land: 180,000 Contribution Points.’
Once Tang Yin looked at all of the prices, he noticed a small note at the end. It stated, ’Each purchase will enable a year of entry.’
Tang Yin was shocked for a moment, but after careful contemplation, he understood why the prices were so extreme for so little time.
The Holy Lands allowed the Rank 8 Organizations to produce many Principle Step cultivators, which decided their strength and gave them leverage over one another.
However, the cultivators accepting missions in the Neutral Cultivation Alliance were not a part of the Alliance. Any and all benefits obtained in a Holy Land would not benefit the Neutral Cultivation Alliance, it would only benefit the Rogue Cultivator.
To compensate for this, a Rogue Cultivator would have to contribute enough to the Neutral Cultivation Alliance until they equalled the benefits of entering a Holy Land for a year.
To the Neutral Cultivation Alliance, 150,000 contribution points were enough of a ’payment’ to allow a Rogue Cultivator to obtain the precious benefits of a Holy Land for a year.
Of course, if a cultivator utilized 300,000 contribution points to enter the Azure Ocean Holy Land, they would be able to spend 2 years there. The same principle applied to the other Holy Lands and the redemption of more years.
Once Tang Yin was done observing the Exchange Market, he emerged from his Personal Identification Token.
Although it may seem like a long time had passed, it had only taken Tang Yin a couple of minutes to do everything inside his Personal Identification Token. Liu Hao had spent this time standing to the side, patiently waiting for Tang Yin to satiate his curiosity.
"Fellow Cultivator Chen, any questions about the Personal Identification Token?" Liu Hao asked in a friendly voice. freёwebnoѵel.com
"Are the exchange rates for resources and contribution points equal? Also, please address me with my code name. I don’t wish for anyone to discover my identity." Tang Yin said in a polite voice.
Liu Hao sent a glance at Tang Yin’s Personal Identification Token before complementing, "Demonic Asura, cool name." He gave Tang Yin a thumbs up at the end along with a wink.
Tang Yin merely smiled, waiting for Liu Hao to answer his question.
"Yes, the exchange rates are the same. However, the resource must be in good condition and must be whole. Otherwise, the contribution points received will be less than the original value." Liu Hao explained with a smile. "Anything else?"
"Not at the moment." Tang Yin responded after thanking Liu Hao for the answer.
Liu Hao pointed towards the altar at the centre of the seventh floor, "That is where the missions are. Follow me."
Tang Yin followed Liu Hao to the altar. The altar was quite simple, it was made out of a strange black metal. There were numerous emerald jade tokens placed on the altar, emitting a weak light.
