Chapter 66 - 66: Distributing Merit Points.
All the joy of a breakthrough is gone now because of the huge experience points needed for the next breakthrough.
According to calculation, a grade two Spiritual dish gives him approximately 700 experience points.
And the number decreased every time his cultivation increased. In the end, when he reached the ninth layer of the foundation realm, the number of experience points he got from the second-grade spiritual dish was around 300.
So if he wants to upgrade to the foundation wall he has to eat around 200-Second grade Spiritual dishes.
So many materials are needed for it. Just thinking about this gave Robert a headache.
"Forget it! I am strong enough for now. I can accumulate the experience points for the Core Formation Realm slowly." Robert shook his head and muttered to himself.
Next, he is going to start practising Primogenial Body Art!
Just as he wanted to start he heard White Fang's voice and footsteps.
"Robert! Many people have returned from a mission and now want you to record their Merit points." White Fang said as he entered the cave. After entering the cave she saw meat along with the fragrance of cooked food.
She looked at Robert and saw his greasy face. Her face was alarmed as she pointed at him with a trembling hand.
"Good Robert! When we were working outside, were you enjoying yourself? Now tell me where my share is." White Fang shouted. Robert felt somewhat guilty after hearing the first sentence but when he listened to the latter part he rolled his eyes.
"Okay! Don't worry you will have a share in this but at night." Robert rolled his eyes and said.
"Hmph, That's better." White Fang humped proudly and said. She felt this time she won against Robert although there is no competition between them.
She had a triumphant smile on her face as she looked at Robert but suddenly her smile solidified and she exclaimed with an unbelievable expression, "Y-You your cultivation has reached the Ninth stage? So fast?"
Although she is a bit silly, she is still a powerhouse of the Core Formation realm. She can easily perceive his cultivation.
She was dumbfounded as she felt his cultivation just this morning. He was at the second stage and now he is at the peak of the Foundation realm.
In just one afternoon he crossed seven sub levels. That sounds impossible!
"Yes, I practised after a long time so my cultivation upgraded." Robert heard the question and replied casually.
After he stood up and walked toward the entrance of the cave. After all, people are waiting outside.
"Let's go! Why are you standing here in a daze?" Robert saw White Fang staining in the same place in a daze and said.
After hearing this White Fang snapped out of the daze and shouted, "Coming."
Then she muttered to herself, "Mother said that no spiritual creature cultivation will not grow faster than me... Is she lying? No that can't be… This must be Robert's problem, after all, his ancestors are so amazing, Yes that must be it!"
White Fang muttered as she reassured herself after throwing this though she accelerated her pace as she caught up with Robert.
….
After Robert arrived outside he saw many people had gathered here along with many dead bodies of different spiritual creatures like deer, Sheep etc
Judging from the aura, four of them are dead bodies of the Foundation Realm beasts.
Valor and Gomen, Lucas, Axel, the three perverts were present here too. They should be the ones who hunted the foundation wall beast.
As for others, they have mostly brought the dead bodies of Qi Condensation realm beasts.
"Since everyone is here, let's calculate your Merit points. Little Fang ready to record their merit points." Robert did not waste any time as he was in a hurry to cultivate Primogenial Body Art, so he started directly.
"Name?"
"Levi!..."
"You have hunted a beast with the strength of six levels of Qi Condensation realm. According to mission details, you get 4 merit points for this, any questions?" Robert said after looking at the body of the beast that Levi brought.
"No.." Levi said with some excitement. If he hunts two more days then he would have enough merit points to exchange an explosive soup or other dishes to upgrade his cultivation.
"Okay, Levi, Total 4 merit points!" White Fang said in confirmation. She acted like a secretary jotting down all the information on the wooden board.
"Next, Name?.."
"Pincer…"
"You hunted Third layer Qi condensation realm creature so you will get 2 merit points, Any problems?" Robert asked the question once again.
"No"
Once again White Fang gave a confirmation and noted down his merits.
"Next…"
Like this Robert and White Fang noted the merit points of all the people present. In the end, only the Foundation realm creature remained.
"For hunting Foundation Realm beast you will get 10 merit points for the initial stage that is from layer one to layer three. For the middle stage, you will get 20 merit points and for the late stage, you will get 30 merit points." Robert said the reward for hunting foundation realm beasts and everyone sucked in a cold breath. The reward is too rich!
"Four of you have hunted the initial stage foundation realm beast so each of you will get 10 merit points." Robert saw that they had hunted the initial stage foundation realm beast so he said the reward amount.
Out of four only Valor was excited because it was an easy feat for him to hunt and kill the foundation realm beast so after the number of merit points he was satisfied. As for the other three, they are indifferent because it's not the first time that they killed a foundation realm beast.
"Second-grade spiritual dishes will be available from tomorrow. The price for a second-grade Spiritual dish is 10 merit points." Robert said as he remembered this matter. Then he remembered about empty places for spiritual herbs and said, "We are also exchanging spiritual herbs of any level for Merit points. If you want you can exchange it. For Low-grade mortal herb, you will get 3 merit points, for the middle-grade mortal herb you will get 6 merit points and for high-grade Mortal herb, you will get 10 merit points. This price is for a limited time after the exchange price will decrease."
Hearing this everyone was at first hesitant. They were overjoyed. They can exchange High-level mortal herbs for 10 merit points with this they can directly exchange Explosive soup.
Although not everyone has high-grade mortal herb they do have a lot of low grade or middle-grade ones. If they exchange a few that can easily become rich and increase their strength.
They have no reluctance to part with these herbs because they are useless for them. After all, not every herb helps in cultivation some are for healing some are poisoned to increase man's vigour.
So they are not reluctant to exchange it for a chance to increase their strength. They are more than willing to do this.
Hearing that the price is limited for a limited time they were anxious. If the price drops then they will lose a lot.
The thing is that they don't have any herbs with them right now.
"Owner, can we bring the herbs tomorrow?"
"Yes, I have a lot of herbs but I have placed it at home."
"I can bring it by morning…"
Everyone asked Robert about this. Seeing their anxious look Robert smiled inwardly this is the exact effect he wanted to see.
"Don't worry this offer is valid for three days. During this time you can exchange as many herbs as you want." Robert said loudly. Everyone was silent for two seconds after hearing him and immediately they cheered.
Even three perverts Axel and others were excited because they need a large number of merit points compared to others.
And they can get a lot of merit points by exchanging Herbs. Although they don't have so many herbs they can 'borrow' them from others.
Valor remembered that he has one High-grade Mortal herb so he decided to exchange it for merit points and fill his stomach tomorrow.
He is still greedy for the delicious food in Taotie restaurant and the owner himself said that there are new second-grade spiritual dishes available tomorrow.
He can't wait for tomorrow!
Soon everyone dispersed in a hurry evidently going to their respective home to collect the Mortal herbs ot borrows.
The work below was finished too so the owners can record their wages.
They worked for 7 hours so according to rate each one of them will get 1.4 merit points. Robert is generous so he cleared the point and in the end, gave them 1 merit point.
Cough cough he felt decimal numbers are too much for them so he decided to be generous.
While doing this his face did not blush after all pandas have thick faces.
Soon everyone was gone and Slither returned with Celli. Both of them were tired but they have satisfied smiles on their faces after all this was a new experience for them.
"Let's go now, it's time to upgrade your cultivation.." Robert looked at their tired but satisfied faces and said with a smile.
