You must know! Generally, a Refiner can only exchange contribution points through refining.
However, this process is very slow and difficult. For example, a Holy Son receives about three materials from Tian Gong every three months, while the Holy Sons need to submit a low-grade Heavenly Saint weapon. A normal Heavenly Saint-level Refiner can produce about one and a half Holy Weapons from those three materials.
This means there will only be half a Holy Weapon left over, and a regular low-grade Heavenly Saint weapon sells for one thousand contribution points, which means half is five hundred points.
Every three months, they can only earn five hundred points, which amounts to two thousand points in a year, meaning ten thousand contribution points require five years.
This is still under the assumption that a Holy Son does not eat or drink, does not spend contribution points, and only uses the free materials provided by Tian Gong for refining. Under normal circumstances, a Holy Son needs to consume a large amount of resources for cultivation, making it impossible to waste time constantly refining Holy Weapons just to earn those contribution points.
Additionally, this is under the premise that Holy Son-level disciples receive three free materials monthly. As for ordinary disciples and Refiners, it is not so comfortable. To earn contribution points, they can only complete some small tasks from Tian Gong, refining standardized Holy Weapons to earn a fixed small amount of contribution points.
It’s too difficult.
Just using the allotted materials for Holy Sons, it would take a whole five hundred years to gather five million contribution points for a million contribution points, without eating or drinking. After five hundred years, Qin Chen would be able to afford the time crystal stones, but he simply does not have the time to waste.
"I still need contribution points. The ancient sacred veins for cultivation require contribution points, purchasing various materials requires contribution points, and exchanging for time crystal stones also requires contribution points. Now, I can only take on tasks from Tian Gong. Besides slaying strong opponents, there must be many other tasks in Tian Gong that provide contribution points."
"However, the contribution points for regular tasks are usually not too much. Even slaying the Yin Yang Lord only rewards thirty thousand contribution points. To accumulate enough contribution points to buy time crystal stones, I would need to slay thirty Yin Yang Lords, which is impossible. Therefore, I must take on some extremely difficult, exceptionally perverse tasks."
"Let me first check the task hall. I believe Tian Gong has stood for many years and surely has many extremely high-difficulty perverse tasks. Only by completing such tasks can I obtain more rewards."
Whoosh! Once he thought of it, Qin Chen no longer hesitated and turned to leave the Sacred Treasure Hall.
Creak! The stone door was pushed open, and the old man guarding the entrance opened his eyes. Upon seeing Qin Chen walk out, he initially nodded, but as he looked more, he became increasingly astonished, realizing that the Qin Chen who walked out had a profound and vast aura, showing a shocking change from when he first entered.
Before entering the Sacred Treasure Hall, although Qin Chen's aura was thick and his talent extraordinary, he still carried a sense of naivety.
But now, Qin Chen seemed to have experienced countless vicissitudes of history, akin to the changes in the heavenly realm, with an aura that conveyed a sense of seeing through everything.
This feeling made the old man feel as if he was observing a powerful being richer in experience than himself, which immediately filled him with endless shock.
"You..." the old man hesitated, saying, "This... how have you changed so dramatically after staying in the Sacred Treasure Hall for three days and nights? What exactly happened to you?"
"You've elevated your realm? No, you're still at the peak of the early Heavenly Saint level, but this aura… this intention, and feeling…" The old man felt as if he was seeing a timeless figure with boundless wisdom in Qin Chen, a feeling he had only experienced with the higher-ups in Tian Gong.
