Chapter 54: Exchanging for Rewards!

  In front of the Merit Hall, everyone stepped down from the flower petals, each closing their mouths tightly, walking as if on tiptoes, the surroundings extremely quiet, to the point where one could even hear the beating of people's hearts.

  "I don't know what kind of person this Master Gongde is." Qin Yi followed the crowd and walked towards the Gongde Temple.

  About a thousand disciples who came four weeks ago, and many more are on their way or will come at another time to exchange for merit points.

  Qin Yi looked ahead, raising an eyebrow, and saw a hundred steps away, Qin Han Zong was hunching over, following Chen Huan Feng with trepidation, walking towards the main gate.

  It seemed that Qin Yiru felt Qin Han's gaze, and he turned his head to look over, seeing Qin Yi, and was suddenly startled, hastily pulling Chen Haofeng.

  Chen Haofeng turned around to see Qin Yi, his expression also somewhat surprised. However, outside the Gongde Temple, he didn't dare to be presumptuous either. He glared at Qin Yi fiercely and led Qin Han Zhong and a group of subordinates into the temple.

  Seeing the expressions of Qin Han Zong and Chen Huan Feng, Qin Yi observed their words and countenances, and immediately determined that the tailing in Fang Cheng must have been orchestrated by Chen Huan Feng. A flash of murderous intent appeared in Qin Yi's heart, but was quickly hidden deep within his mind.

  However, what made Qin Yi curious was that he had never seen Qin Yuwei. Last time when he went to the Misty Bay, he didn't see her either. He didn't know where Qin Yuwei had gone.

  After hesitating for a moment, Qin Yi no longer dwelled on this issue.

  Compared to the tension of other disciples, Qin Yi seemed much more relaxed. While others hastily walked into the Merit Hall with their heads down, Qin Yi still had time to look around. This Merit Hall was probably tens of times grander than the imperial palace of the Great Wu Dynasty.

  Entering the Merit Hall, inside were rare flowers and strange grasses, wafting fragrance that refreshed the heart. On a high platform, two elderly men wearing long robes were speaking in hushed tones.

  One of them was Qin Yi, who recognized the elder Bai Ming from the day he posted the bounty task. The other had white hair and a shiny bald head in the middle, like a duck egg, but his aura was not inferior to that of Elder Bai Ming at all. He sat with his legs crossed, exuding an overwhelming pressure.

  This old man is the Elder of Merit in charge of the Hall of Merit!

  Qin Yi followed Wu Peng and others to the central hall on the first floor, beside a pool that was thousands of steps long and wide.

  A white mist wraps around the pool, cold air is dense, a single lotus leaf, proudly in the middle, fresh and elegant.

  With the lotus flower as the center, within a radius of thousands of feet, spiritual energy is abundant. Everyone standing by the pool feels the gentle spiritual energy entering their body through their pores, making them feel refreshed and comfortable all over.

  Qin Yi's feeling was even stronger than others, he only felt that the spiritual energy around him was constantly gathering and forming a vortex, the spiritual energy gathered into a vast ocean, pouring into his meridians.

  "What a strong spiritual energy! This pool should be the legendary underground spiritual vein. If I can live near this pool and receive the nourishment of spiritual energy every day, my cultivation will surely progress by leaps and bounds." Qin Yi thought to himself.

  At this time, the two elders on the high platform stopped speaking.

  Elder Bo Ming's voice echoed throughout the floor: "This time, everyone's task has been completed very well. The Emperor of Great Yan Country has already issued an edict expressing his gratitude to our Tian Sheng College. Ji Le Dao Ren, Hei Shui Gong Zi, and Yu Ren Shou Lao have all been beheaded. To achieve this result, there are absolutely no more than four sects on the entire Yufeng Continent!"

  Upon hearing Bo Ming's words, everyone's face involuntarily revealed a proud expression.

  However, everyone was also secretly sizing each other up, wanting to know who had killed the Extreme Bliss Sect member, the Black Water Young Master and the Fish Tribe Leader.

  "It is only right that we, the Orthodox Sect disciples, should be the ones to carry out heaven's will." A man's voice rang out steadily from among the thousand, "Hei Shui Gong Zi, you have defied the heavens and slaughtered innocent lives. You deserve to die at our hands."

  Upon hearing this voice, Qin Yi's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  The crowd parted, and Lei Tian's tall and straight figure emerged, his waist as straight as a spear. He walked out of the crowd with a tray in his hand, covered with a layer of black cloth.

  "It's Lei Tian Shi Xiong!"

  "What? Leitian Shixiong, ranked second on the Earth Ranking List!"

  "Look, the bow on Lai Tian's back is called Chi Xiao Bow, it's a top-grade treasure of the Heavenly Artifact level!"

  Lei Tian enjoyed the admiring gaze of the crowd, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, and lifted up the black cloth to reveal a pair of skull-shaped wind and fire wheels.

  "I report to Elder Bai Ming, Elder Gong De, when my disciple killed Hei Shui Gong Zi, he was desperate and used the Yin Yang Soul Fragmentation Bomb to self-destruct. His corpse was blown into smithereens, and my disciple only found back his treasure, which has been contributed to the Academy. There were several other disciples present who witnessed the killing of Hei Shui Gong Zi and can testify on my behalf."

  As soon as Lei Tianhua finished speaking, he suddenly caused a burst of exclamations from the crowd.

  "It was actually Master Lei who killed Hei Shui Gongzi, no wonder!"

  "Lei Tian's strength has improved even more compared to last year, this year's Earth Ranking first place is a must-win!"

  For a time, the surrounding voices of flattery almost lifted Lei Tian to the sky, and almost everyone looked at him with eyes full of envy.

  Gongde Laoren waved his hand, a red ribbon flew out, spread out and wrapped around the tray, flying back into his hands.

  After a moment of inspection, the voice of Gongde Lao came: "Lei Tian killed Heishui Gongzi, earned 60 merit points, a low-grade heavenly weapon, and three Taixu Xian Dan."

  The crowd around them erupted again!

  Lei Tian's face was filled with a bright smile, very satisfied with the flattery from the people around him.

  Seeing Lei Tian's smug expression, Wu Peng, Zhao Jing Sheng, Xu and Zeng Xuan all wanted to punch him in the face.

  The conflict in Fog Bay made them have a clear understanding of this hypocritical Lei Tian.

  Qin Yi coldly swept his gaze over Lei Tian, thinking to himself: "Second on the Earth-Shaking List, third layer of the Soul-Burying Realm, even with the addition of the Red Sky Bow, you're only barely able to hold your own against me. There are still four months left, Lei Tian, I'm going to beat you until you're crawling all over the ground, and trample that pitiful pride of yours under my feet!"

  "Lei Tian, pour the Fish Demon Core you obtained into this Merit Pool." said the Virtuous Elder.

  Lei Tian took out a bag and poured all the fish demon cores into it.

  The surface of the Ji Gong Chi was bubbling with a loud "gurgling" sound, and after a brief moment, a white light rose up, forming several bold characters: 112!

  Elder Bo Ming and Elder Gong De both showed a look of approval on their faces.

  "A hundred and twenty-two points of merit!" The crowd was in an uproar, with everyone gathering around Lei Tian like stars surrounding the moon. Each person wanted to curry favor with him, fawn over him, and get some benefits from him.

  "Qin Yi!" Wu Peng gave Qin Yi a signal.

  Qin Yi secretly shook his head and whispered: "Don't rush, let's come last and slap him hard in the face!"

  Next, all of you disciples, in order, take the Fish Demon Nuclei you obtained and throw them into the Merit Pool.

  In the Merit Pool, an array was set up, which can quickly count out how many merit points can be exchanged for the fish, human and demon cores thrown in.

  After each numerical statistics, the Gongde elder will give this disciple a jade card. On the jade card, it shows the number of merit points that this disciple has obtained.

  At that time, holding this jade token, you can go to the warehouse and receive the materials, treasures or elixirs according to the number of points.

  Seven

  Three

  Nine

  Twelve

  Six

  The next disciple, the merit points they exchanged for were very few, and most of them did not reach two digits. The highest one only got more than 30 points, with a huge gap from Lei Tian. This person was Chen Haofeng.

  And Qin Han Zong, who followed Chen Huaofeng, got 18 points in exchange, but even so, he still made other disciples envy him.

  The atmosphere on site has been dull for a long time.

  After switching to Gonglao Point, Qin Han Zong enjoyed the enviable look of others, and proudly looked at Qin Yi with a provocative gaze.

  "Go." Qin Yi gave Wu Peng a look.

  Wu Peng, Zhao Jing Sheng, Xu **and Zeng Xuan walked together to the side of the Meritorious Service Pool.

  Qin Han Zong stood with his arms around him on one side, waiting to watch a good show.

  Wu Peng poured all the fish demon cores from his pocket into it. A moment later, a white light flashed: 158

  "One hundred and fifty-eight!" It was as if a huge stone had fallen into a calm lake.

  The disciples around, as if waking up from a dream, one by one stared wide-eyed, with an arrogant face, and when it came to the disciple who was good at flattering himself, Lei Tian, they suddenly jumped up, rubbed their eyes, thinking they had seen wrongly!

  Qin Han Zong and Chen Hao Feng's eyeballs almost popped out of their eye sockets!

  Bai Ming Elder, Gong De Elder, also flashed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

  However, they didn't say anything, and Gongde Elder handed a jade plate with numbers on it to Wu Peng.

  When Wu Peng took over the jade plate, his hands were shaking with excitement.

  Five years ago, he had only accumulated two or three merit points. This time in Misty Bay, thanks to Qin Yi's help, his merit points suddenly skyrocketed by six or seven times!

  Zhao Jing Sheng poured the fish demon's core into the Merit Pool: 156!

  The value of Xu is: 161!

  Zeng Xuan's number: 153!

  Lei Tian would have been far surpassed by the four of them if he hadn't killed Hei Shui Gongzi and obtained that 60-point merit bonus.

  "Impossible...... How is this possible......" Lei Tian's eyes widened in shock, his fingers grasping the railing so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

  Chen Haofeng and Qin Hancong's mouths were stuck together for a long time, and they were already in a daze: "I must be dreaming..."

  Among the four people, even Zeng Xuan, who was the least, had five times more than Chen Haofeng!

  Other disciples were shocked and admired at the same time, and they also began to ask about Wu Peng's background.

  "Ah, sorry, can you make way?" Qin Yi's voice seemed somewhat out of place when everyone's eyes were fixed on Wu Peng and his three companions.

  There were disciples who looked at Qin Yi with dissatisfaction, but the next moment, these disciples were like being struck by lightning, their eyes and mouths wide open, stunned.

  This emotion, like a ripple, spread out from Qin Yi as the center, and the chattering crowd suddenly quieted down, with all eyes fixed on Qin Yi.

  Lei Tian, Chen Haofeng and Chen Hanzong turned their heads with difficulty and looked towards Qin Yi.

  They saw Qin Yi dragging a big bag, the bag was three or four times bigger than Wu Peng's, and he was walking towards the Merit Pool.

  Their pupils suddenly contracted, and their mouths, which had just closed, opened again.

  Under everyone's gaze, Qin Yi opened his pouch, and one by one, the crimson Fish Demon Cores rolled into the Merit Pool, splashing up large waves of water!

  White light flashed, more dazzling than before, like a white flame explosion!

  "1572"

  Boom!

  This time's movement was like a meteorite crashing into the mainland, the entire floor was boiling!

  The Merit Hall was even trembling!

  Lei Tian swallowed hard, his heart almost stopping its beat.

  Qin Han Zong's mouth twitched: "This... this... are you kidding me..."

  Elder Bo Ming and Elder Gong De both stood up, their faces not calm.

  Qin Yi seemed to be unsatisfied, and poured another ladle of oil on the fire: "Report back to Elder Bai Ming, Elder Gong De, I also killed the Extreme Bliss Taoist, this Beast Emperor's Blood Mirror is physical evidence, Lei Tian Shixiong, is a witness."

  Lei Tian's face was red as a pig's liver at this moment, and his body trembled with anger.

  All the hype from so many people in the past has condensed into a huge slap, which is now fiercely slapped on his face!

  All the merits of this trip added up together are not even worth a single hair on Qin Yi's head!
