After leaving Elder Chen, Xiao Chen took a detour to the Merit Hall.
"Junior Martial Master Xiao, um... you're still ten Contribution Points short."
"Uh, I'll make up the difference with Spirit Stones, then."
Xiao Chen took out twenty Spirit Stones to cover the remaining balance and successfully exchanged them for the Fire Storage Treasure Talisman.
He also casually flipped through the Exchange Album. Just as before, it listed a dazzling array of items.
When he first saw this Exchange Album, he had been filled with envy at the sight of all the wonderful things.
But now, most of the items seemed far too ordinary to him.
Never mind the junior disciples; even the rare Tier Two Spiritual Liquids, custom-made Upper Grade Magical Artifacts, and Xuan- or even Earth-Level Magic that other Foundation Establishment Cultivators coveted...
...felt lackluster to him.
