Chapter 723: In Exchange for Elixir

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Ye Lingchen did not participate in the battle for too long, but the blood on the battlefield left an impression on him. He retold the events in great detail, especially how Blue Wolf’s Chief Instructor sacrificed his life in order to stall the Grade-A+ creature.

Lin Ao and Lin Ruoyu knew full well that war was cruel, but their feelings were the same as Ye Lingchen in the past—knowing was one thing, while actually feeling it was another. At that point, their mood became even more somber after Ye Lingchen gave an account of the situation. The two of them then left in silence.

Ye Lingchen went to the merits department. He had formulated a plan and was ready to exchange some good things.

Moreover, he joined the battlefield, killed countless enemies, and turned the situation around. In any case, it was only right that he be rewarded.

Merits department.

The old man was still sitting there, and many warriors who participated in the war were present. They used their achievements to improve their strength and gain an extra guarantee for the next battle. With resources being scarce, Ye Lingchen gradually understood the significance behind the striving of a warrior.

The old man smiled immediately when he saw Ye Lingchen. “Little Friend Ye, your performance on the battlefield was very good this time. You killed a bow hunter and an Grade-A creature all by yourself, as well as many other Grade-C and Grade-B creatures. In addition, you joined hands with Qin Baichuan’s trio to kill two Grade-A creatures and one Grade-A+ creature.

“We’ve awarded you two thousand and three hundred merit points. You’ve also turned the tides on the battlefield, so that will be a reward of another five hundred merit points.”

Ye Lingchen was taken aback for a short moment and could not help saying, “Does that mean I have two thousand eight hundred merit points now?”

His merit points were only at 200 before joining the war, but it had soared to more than ten times higher after that!

He felt like a nouveau riche for a brief moment.

Although it cost a lot to be on the battlefield, the gains were also relatively substantial. It would be even more awesome if he entered and plundered the Void Realm.

2800 merit points were already considered on the higher end. Were that not the case, Xiang Guocheng would never have lowered his ego and deprived Ye Lingchen of those 28 merit points.

Then again, Ye Lingchen thought of the group of warriors who had died in battle and his eyes darkened again. He had received those merit points in exchange for their lives.

Of course, Ye Lingchen only managed to get those points through trickery.

He was the sudden variable that appeared halfway, catching those Void Realm creatures completely off guard, hence the easy kills. If the creatures adopted strength-for-strength tactics from the beginning and held Ye Lingchen back with one or two Grade-A creatures, Ye Lingchen’s abilities would be severely impacted.

For example, Chen Qi—whose strength was obviously higher than Ye Lingchen—was occupied with a Grade-A+ creature and could only kill one Grade-A+ creature in the end.

However, one could not deny Ye Lingchen’s contributions either. He killed enemies that were stronger than him and countless others too, making him no less efficient than that of Chen Qi.

“By the way, this is also the subsidy for participating in the war.” The old man smiled and handed Ye Lingchen three bottles of liquid.

The three bottles of Spirit-Rejuvenating Elixir were worth 15 merit points, which is equivalent to the achievement of killing a Grade-B creature. In truth, it was actually not very generous.

However, Ye Lingchen was also aware that the Martial Arts Pavilion was lacking in resources. The spoils collected by the martial artist belonged to the martial artist himself, and the fact that the Martial Arts Pavilion could give subsidies was good enough. Ye Lingchen therefore accepted it with a smile.

Ye Lingchen opened one of the bottles, then placed it in front of his nose and smelled it. It was odorless and he did not hesitate to drink it in one gulp.

The liquid medicine was packed in a small glass bottle that was around 30 milliliters. It was not enough to fill Ye Lingchen’s mouth.

This was the first time Ye Lingchen had come into contact with the Void Realm’s medicine. He swirled it in his mouth and found that it had a sweet taste that was slightly more bland compared to fruit juice.

The next moment, he could clearly sense the cold liquid medicine flowing into his stomach. Then, it turned into spiritual energy and filled his entire body. Ye Lingchen felt that the spiritual energy was very diluted, but for ordinary inner strength martial artists, it was equivalent to replenishing more than 30% of their inner force.

“The Void Realm’s medicine really is amazing,” Ye Lingchen made an evaluation of it.

The old man was dumbfounded and he stared at Ye Lingchen blankly. “You drank them just like that?”

“Mm… What’s wrong?”

“Damn! This is Spirit-Rejuvenating Elixir! This is considered a warrior’s second life! You, you!” The old man’s hair stood on end, for it was the first time he saw someone waste natural resources so recklessly.

A bottle of it cost five merit points. It was regarded as one of the most valuable things for warriors and more for the Martial Arts Pavilion. Spirit-Rejuvenating Elixir was extracted from Spirit-Rejuvenating Grass. Its collection was done on the back of countless warriors sacrificing their lives to bring it out of the Void Realm, so the blatant waste of resources left the old man distraught.

“I’m just studying the properties of this liquid so that I can make medicines that are more beneficial to martial artists in the future,” Ye Lingchen said.

He was already thinking of how to combine the Void Realm’s elixirs with Earth’s herbs in order to maximize the use of their medicinal properties.

The old man had some doubts. “Really? You do research on drugs too?”

“Senior, I also go by the name of Miracle Doctor Y.”

Ye Lingchen’s words suddenly made the old man’s eyes light up, with his initial irritability turning into appreciation. “What do you think? Did you discover anything? If you really are able to do some research, you’ll be a hero of the Martial Arts Pavilion and all mankind! ”

Ye Lingchen rolled his eyes. He could not possibly achieve all that so quickly, since his knowledge was limited to Earth’s traditional Chinese medicine and he knew far too little about Spirit-Rejuvenating Grass.

After a moment’s silent, he placed the crossbow and the other two bottles of Spirit-Rejuvenating Elixir on the table. “Senior, how much merit points will I get if I exchange these for merit points?”

“Grade-A crossbows are more valuable than ordinary Grade-A weapons and are worth four hundred merit points. The total would be four hundred and ten merit points,” the old man answered quickly.

That way, Ye Lingchen would have 3210 merit points.

He looked at the item list and felt conflicted. The price of the elixir was far more than the liquid medicine, costing five times more.

Body Tempering Flower: has the effect of tempering one’s body and is able to improve the physical fitness of ordinary people when taken. 5 merit points.

Meridian Tempering Herb: tempers the meridians of warriors. 25 merit points.

Vitality Fruit: recover from external injury. 25 merits.

Spirit-Rejuvenating Grass: instantly regain spiritual energy, 25 merit points.

There were only sixteen kinds of flowers and plants and all of them were very expensive.

“Senior, these elixirs seem to be pretty basic.” Ye Lingchen then asked the old man, “Aren’t there any elixirs that could be useful for innate martial artists?”

“Of course, there are. It’s not only innate martial artists. There are even those that go higher than that.” The old man smiled and looked at Ye Lingchen. “It’s just that our Martial Arts Pavilion don’t even have them, or perhaps you can say that they’re generally unavailable. It’s not something you can exchange using merit points alone.”

Ye Lingchen knew that the Void Realm was really the Celestial Realm, and the more he thought about it, the more curious he became.

“Give me five of each spiritual herb,” Ye Lingchen touched his nose and said.

He prepared for an attempt to transplant them to Miracle Island, as he had a feeling that the Wood Spirit Constitution would also be useful for these spiritual herbs! What if it could survive and thrive?

“Senior, haven’t you thought about planting these spiritual herbs in the Martial Arts Pavilion?” Ye Lingchen probed.

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, “It’s too difficult. These spiritual herbs grow in harsh conditions and they are rare in the Void Realm too. They must be cultivated using spirit stones, and many of them grow around the spirit stone mines. It’s impossible to plant them here on Earth. If you sacrifice a great number of spirit stones to plant these herbs, you won’t have enough spirit stones and the loss will not be worth it.”

Ye Lingchen appeared to have been overthinking. The elixirs would not be that precious if it could easily be planted in the Martial Arts Pavilion.
