72 Chapter 72 the ambition of Wentian

“Have you thought of which path to take?”

Faced with this question, Lu Wenen fell into deep thought.

At the age of seventeen, he was sensible.

He knew that the foundation building elixir was not easy to obtain, but it was also an indispensable item to continue advancing on the great Dao. Naturally, he had already thought about these things.

The two paths that Zhang Shiman had mentioned were similar in some ways, but there were still some differences when it came to the root of the problem.

The Qingfeng sect had 20000 Qi refining cultivators. Every year, only 5000 of them met the requirements to participate in the sect competition. Under such a grand competition, how difficult would it be to become one of the five people who would be able to obtain the foundation building pill?

Lu Wenen had not been able to witness the last great tournament. He had only heard that those who made it into the top 20 were all ninth-tier Qi refining cultivators.

There were no mediocre people who could reach the ninth level of the Qi refining stage before the age of 35. Most Qi refining cultivators could only reach this level when they were fifty or sixty years old. This was already considered pretty good. Lu xueting was one such example. Among the younger generation of cultivators in the Lu family, Lu mingling, who was the most well-known, would be almost 45 years old to reach the ninth level of the Qi refining stage.

In the past, the Qingfeng sect’s grand competition would always produce twenty to thirty geniuses who were much more outstanding than Lu mingling. It was clear that the Qingfeng sect was the strongest cultivation force in the Feiyun state.

Moreover, the final winners were all experts in cultivation techniques, magic tools, spell techniques, and combat techniques.

He, Lu Wenen, cultivated the ‘pure origin Sutra’. It was a cultivation technique that combined water and wood elements. It was very compatible with his water and wood spiritual roots, but it was only a high-grade cultivation technique. The ‘pure sword Sutra’ that he cultivated was a wonderful technique, and it was the Qingfeng sect’s specialty sword technique. It was naturally difficult for the outer sect disciples to come into contact with it, but almost all the inner sect disciples knew it.

There was no need to mention magic tools, special spells, and other things. It wasn’t too bad. After all, he had the support of his family, so he might be better than the average inner disciple.

However, how could they compare to the direct descendants of those influential figures in the sect or the descendants of famous families? Moreover, sometimes, when these two identities overlapped, it was even more terrifying.

Although they were rare, there were always some. They cultivated top-notch cultivation techniques, had Supreme-grade Dharma artifacts passed down from their families and Masters, and were definitely not lacking in talent. Their hard work was not lacking either.

In fact, in every great inter-sect tournament, it was always these people who fought for the top five.

Not only would he be able to obtain the foundation building elixir, but he would also be able to shine for a while and cultivate his reputation.

Lu Wenen believed that his hard work would not lose to others, and his talent might not be bad, but he could not compare to the other Wanwan.

It was too difficult to win against such an opponent.

In that case, it seemed like the second option, which was to line up to receive the foundation building pill, was more reliable?

But thinking about it, it was actually very difficult.

The value of the Qingfeng sect’s merit points was basically equivalent to that of spirit stones. 10,000 merit points were equivalent to 10000 spiritual stones. Moreover, merit points were more difficult to obtain than spirit stones.

They could either take out the things that the sect needed and contribute to the sect in exchange for merit points. If not, they would risk their lives for the sect, exchanging their blood for their lives.

The advantage was that with 10000 contribution points, one could basically exchange for a foundation building pill, as long as one was in line. It was not like the outside world, where ten thousand spirit stones were not enough to buy anything.

But for a Qi refining cultivator to earn 10000 merit points? Without any background, even ten lives might not be enough.

But even so, some with family support and a reliable master might really be able to save up 10000 merit points before the age of 60. However, every fifteen years, which was the second year after the inter-sect tournament, a batch of foundation building pills would be released. Usually, there would only be seven or eight pills. The number of disciples with 10000 merit points would definitely be more than this.

Then who should I give it to? The elder in charge of General Affairs of the Qingfeng sect had the final say.

The talent of the applicant disciple, age, whether he had made great contributions, the relationship between the family, and other factors determined who would ultimately obtain the precious foundation building pill among the people who could also take out 10000 merit points.

Both paths were difficult.

“I suggest you take the second path, which is the path of complimenting merits,” Zhang Shiman’s voice rang out again.

“Master, please tell me.”

“You’re naturally intelligent and willing to work hard, but compared to those direct disciples of the sect’s elders and disciples from big families, it’s too difficult to win in a battle. If you can reach the ninth level of the Qi refining stage before the age of 35, then you have endless potential at such a young age and have accumulated 10000 contribution points, perhaps I can find some connections and ask for a foundation building pill from the pill distribution 16 years later.”

however, the disciples of the Kongtong Sect have only managed to save up 200 merit points in the past 12 years. There are still 16 years to go. It’s easier said than done to save up 10000 merit points.

“Let’s see what your Lu family can do.” Zhang Shiman said, “if you can have 8000 merit points by then, I can lend you 2000 to make up for the gap. Any more and I can’t do anything.”

Zhang Shiman was only a Foundation establishment cultivator. She had already done her part by promising to fill the gap with two thousand. Lu Wenen also knew that he could not ask for too much.

With a heavy heart, Lu Wenen gritted his teeth and said, ” “Then, this disciple would like to sign up to participate in the sect’s northern border trip!”

“Don’t be impulsive!” Zhang Shiman’s face darkened. the sect has already decided on the quota for this trip to the northern border. A young true disciple like you doesn’t need to participate. I know you’re in a hurry, but I’m telling you this to pass on a message to the Lu family behind you. Prepare more things within 15 years, not to send you to your death in the northern border!”

“I understand your good intentions, master.” Lu Wenen was not flustered. He bowed again. I know my family’s situation. I can help a little, but it won’t be much. Furthermore, how can we cultivators not fight for our own lives? Killing one white ghost would earn him 10 merit points; Killing a snow shaman would earn him 50 merit points. If I can kill 500 white ghouls, I can get 10000 merit points!”

Zhang Shiman was so angry that she laughed. I might not even be able to kill 100 white ghouls on a trip to the northern border. What makes you think you can kill 500? ”

Lu Wenen was still very serious,’participating in a patrol outside the city will earn you 50 merit points. One close-range investigation could earn 300 to 600 merit points. If you participate in a war at the front line, you can get extra merit points, and the specific amount will be determined by the results of the war.”

Zhang Shiman’s face darkened.

“This disciple also knows that with my current strength, it’s impossible for me to earn 10000 contribution points in one battle. However, this is a great opportunity to accumulate merits. The White ghouls will bring a huge disaster every time they go south, but it is also a great opportunity for us cultivators. It’s hard to see him once in a few decades. Now that I’ve met him, I don’t want to miss it. ”

“You’re only seventeen years old, it’s not time for you to walk this bloody path yet.”

“On the path of the great Dao, how can there be a path that can be easily walked?”

ai, ai, ai, ai. Zhang Shiman sighed and said, ” you’re much better than I was back then to have such awareness at such a young age.

“So master has agreed?”

“No,” she said. Zhang Shiman said, ” if I let you go to the northern border just like that, wouldn’t the Lu family hate me to death when they find out? I will send a message to your grandmother, Lu ranting, and explain this matter. If she agrees, I won’t stop her. ”
