Chapter 505: Sect's Weaponry
In ancient times, monks did things without any taboos.
They slaughtered people to refine magic tools; destroyed mountains and boiled seas, burned forests and sank land; ignored agreements and went back on their words; killed people and robbed goods, and were only interested in profit...
All these were normal.
The reason is that with the improvement of the realm of cultivation and the continuous growth of their own strength, the constraints on monks are getting fewer and fewer.
A Divine Transformation monk took a fancy to the rare treasure that a Foundation Establishment monk accidentally obtained. It was easy to kill him and take the rare treasure for himself. In this case, how many people would choose to obtain the rare treasure by "trading"?
Similarly, when a Foundation Establishment monk faces a "trade" proposed by a Divine Transformation monk who is many times stronger than himself, would he dare not agree? If the other party breaks the contract and turns his face against him, what can he do? He can only swallow his anger and even be thankful that the other party did not take his life.
If the two parties in the transaction are not equal, the fairness of the transaction is out of the question.
But in the current Five Elders Association, and even the entire Xuanhuang Realm, this situation has been completely changed.
It is precisely because of the existence of various contracts.
The [Soul Contract] signed by the Five Elders Association monks to sell their bodies, the [Business Contract] that Li Fan has used many times, and the special golden contract that can be used to buy and sell skills...
This ubiquitous mysterious power can really restrict the monks.
Even the Hedao monks cannot defy the power of the contract. Once signed, they must abide by it.
Under the impetus of the contract, order is also established.
If the Tianxuan Mirror and the Yanfa Jue are the foundation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, then the [Contract] is the lifeblood of the Five Elders Association.
Let's talk about [Soul Points]. The essence of the Soul Points is a special energy hidden in the depths of the soul through the power of the contract.
In addition to daily transactions, it has a special use. That is to consume the Soul Points and open the [Immortal Sect Arsenal].
There, all kinds of skills, classics, and treasures from the ancient Immortal Sect can be exchanged at will.
What is more worth mentioning is that there are real illusions of many sects in ancient times in the Xianzong Arsenal.
The real illusion is created by a power that is very similar to the Meteorite Realm. There, monks can travel to many extinct ancient sects. There are also many images of ancient monks in the sect. Most of them have no consciousness, but are just simple shells. But in actual combat, the power of their gestures is almost the same as that of real people.
The monks of the Five Elders can consume soul points to repeatedly exchange with these ancient monks to improve their combat effectiveness. And in the [Xianzong Arsenal], all injuries will not affect the real body, but will only cause slight injuries to the soul. What's more, this kind of soul injury can also be healed by consuming soul points.
In theory, if the soul points are enough, even a mortal who has just practiced for a short time can become extremely powerful in a battle.
With the soul contract as a constraint, the Five Elders do not need to deliberately suppress the combat effectiveness of the general monks like the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Of course, all of this is not free, and the cultivators need to fight for it themselves.
At this moment, at the border of Wudingzhou, beside the white fog barrier, Lv Fan looked at the various types of [Puxian Zhenzhou] and couldn't help but be very excited. But he was not a member of the Five Elders Association, and he didn't have any soul points at all, so he could only look at them with envy.
At this time, a peddler came up and talked: "These two Taoist friends should be from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and have not yet joined our Five Elders Association?"
Lv Fan's face changed slightly when he heard this. He glanced around vigilantly, lowered his voice and nodded, saying, "That's right. I wonder what this fellow Taoist's name is? How did you figure it out?"
The vendor took the two to his stall and said, "You two don't have to be so nervous. I'm Gu Binliang, and I specialize in reselling."
"As for how I figured it out..." Gu Binliang smiled slightly: "Signing a soul contract or not gives people a completely different feeling. It just so happened that I heard that a group of monks from the Ten Thousand Immortals League were captured recently and are undergoing the [Returning to the Commandments], so I made this guess."
Seeing that Lu Fan was a little nervous, Gu Binliang said, "In fact, most of our Five Elders have no hostility towards you Ten Thousand Immortals League monks. After all, there have been many examples of monks who were captured in the past, who changed their minds and recognized reality through the Returning to the Commandments, and eventually became members of our Five Elders League."
"And these people are even more loyal than ordinary members!"
Lv Fan couldn't help but look a little ugly when he heard this.
Gu Binliang was also a good observer, so he skipped the topic and asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you interested in the [Puxian Zhenzhou], but you are worried that you are short of money and have no soul points?"
"That's true." Lv Fan nodded.
"That's fine. If you don't have soul points, I'm sure you should have some standard spirit stones on you." Gu Binliang said with a smile.
"There are indeed some." Lv Fan said with some surprise, but then a trace of doubt flashed across his face: "Do you Five Elders Association also use these standard spirit stones?"
"Haha, what you said, fellow Daoist. Since it is a standard spirit stone, it is naturally jointly manufactured by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association and recognized by both parties. However, ordinary cultivators in our Five Elders Association cannot use it, and it is a bit troublesome to exchange it for soul points. So they don't accept it."
"But for me, it doesn't matter. As a real businessman, I still need a considerable amount of standard spirit stones for transit." Gu Binliang explained.
"A real businessman..." Lv Fan understood what the other party meant instantly, "Then please give me a [Puxian Zhenzhou]."
Gu Binliang waved his hand, and dozens of miniature flying boats appeared in front of Lv Fan.
He also enthusiastically explained the difference between them to Lv Fan.
It didn't take long for both parties to complete the transaction happily.
Lv Fan was about to leave, but Gu Binliang stopped him: "Do you have any unused items? It is very inconvenient to walk in the territory of the Five Elders without soul points. I can use soul points to exchange with you."
As he said, he took out a human-shaped statue whose appearance could not be seen clearly.
"This is the [Xianshi Tianzun Statue], which can be used to store soul points. Even if you are not a member of the Five Elders, you can use it to trade with other cultivators."
Lv Fan was moved when he heard this.
He immediately searched for things in the storage ring. And Gu Binliang also accepted everything. As long as Lv Fan was willing to sell, he would buy it directly.
When the number of soul points stored in the statue of Xianshi Tianzun reached 50,000, Lv Fan finally couldn't find anything to sell.
"If you need anything in the future, you can come to me again." Gu Binliang said with a smile, handing over a communication talisman.
