Chapter 294: Good Deeds Pavilion
However, apart from the spiritual objects consumed during the siege, the remaining spiritual stones obtained in this battle were just enough to make up for the losses in the last market. The Song family and other major foundation-building families did not earn much spiritual stones after the battle. Instead, they had to subsidize some relatives and clansmen who died in the battle.
Their biggest gain was the bounty they could get by killing these bandits.
Some of the Qi-refining bandits were extremely vicious and wanted by major market towns. These heads were sent to the places where they were wanted by Lu Yuanfeng in exchange for bounties, which were used to reward those who performed outstandingly in this battle and to compensate those dead and injured monks.
The three leaders, Cheng Yilong, were all famous bandits on the Xiaoyao Sect's list. After their heads were taken to the Xiaoyao Sect, the families participating in this battle received some good deeds from the Xiaoyao Sect. Of course, the majority of them were taken by the Huang and Gao families who contributed the most. These hard-earned good deeds could be directly exchanged for spiritual objects from the Xiaoyao Sect's Good Deeds Pavilion.
In addition to being open to the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect, the Good Merit Pavilion of the Xiaoyao Sect can also be used by the vassal families who have made great contributions to the sect.
However, there are more ways for the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect to earn good merits, and it is easier. The vassal families below can only get some good merits when the sect recruits them to deal with the turmoil of monsters or kill the bandits rewarded by the Law Enforcement Hall. When Song Qingming killed the demon cultivator Han Tongshan, in addition to the spiritual stone reward, he also got 200 points of good merits for the Song family. When these good merits accumulate to a certain amount, they can be exchanged for the spiritual objects they want.
The Good Merit Pavilion of a Yuanying Sect is not like an ordinary market. As long as you have enough good merits, there are spiritual objects needed for the foundation-building pill, not to mention the foundation-building pill, but the good merits required are also very exaggerated. Even if a foundation-building family accumulates for hundreds of years, it is impossible to exchange them.
In this regard, Xiaoyao Sect also provides some conveniences for its vassal families. As long as these immortal cultivation families accumulate good deeds to a certain proportion, they can, after deducting good deeds, hand in spiritual objects of equal value to the Good Deeds Pavilion in exchange for the spiritual objects they want.
In other words, a foundation-building pill requires 10,000 good deeds, which is equivalent to 10,000 spiritual stones. As long as the immortal cultivation families can accumulate the required 2,000 good deeds and hand in 8,000 spiritual stones, they can also go to the Good Deeds Pavilion of Xiaoyao Sect to exchange for a foundation-building pill. For old-fashioned foundation-building families like the Huang family and the Gao family, most of their channels for cultivating foundation-building cultivators to obtain foundation-building pills come from this method.
In addition to this method, there is another more direct method. As long as you can find the rare spiritual objects they want for Xiaoyao Sect, just like the water spirit fruit that Song Qingming got back then, with this spiritual object, you can also go directly to the Good Deeds Pavilion of Xiaoyao Sect to exchange for foundation-building pills, but you have to explain the origins of these spiritual objects clearly. After all, Xiaoyao Sect is also a famous sect and will not accept some stolen goods from shady sources at will.
Such a situation is rare. It is not an easy thing to get the spiritual objects that Xiaoyao Sect's Good Merit Pavilion likes. In addition to the individual opportunities, the strength of one's own family is also important.
Although the Liu family was able to find the water spirit fruit tree, it was all in vain because of their lack of strength. In order to get the third-level spiritual medicine, the Huang family lost Huang Chengliang, a foundation-building cultivator, in the Floating Cloud Mountains. Song Qingming almost lost his life. If the strength is not enough, not only will they not get the spiritual objects they want, but they may also lose the fate of the entire family.
Fortunately, Song Qingming did not work in vain this time. In the end, he not only got a mid-grade magic weapon from Cheng Yilong, but also took in more than 3,000 spiritual stones and more than a dozen second-level spiritual objects that he had taken out when he lured Song Qingming in the battle.
Fortunately, these things were taken out by Cheng Yilong himself. If they were still in his storage bag, Song Qingming would not be able to force open his storage bag in such a short time, and he could only hand them over to Lu Yuanfeng in the end.
Speaking of the life-and-death duel with Cheng Yilong, Song Qingming and he actually calculated each other in the end, and Cheng Yilong, the old fox, finally capsized first.
Cheng Yilong wanted to escape secretly at first, but Song Qingming had already exposed his hiding place, so he could only choose to decisively kill Song Qingming. As a result, he failed to break the defense of the Green Water Bell in a short time, and finally had to use a dirty trick.
Cheng Yilong first threw out the jade box, which contained the magic weapon he secretly hid for a sneak attack. Seeing that Song Qingming was not fooled, he took out a lot of spiritual objects to tempt him, pretending that he just wanted to escape. As long as Song Qingming took the initiative to remove the protection of the Green Water Bell, he could use the magic weapon he had ambushed before to launch a sneak attack and then kill Song Qingming.
But he didn't know that Song Qingming was also plotting against him by removing the Bishui Bell. During the verbal battle with Cheng Yilong, Song Qingming had already prepared a killing move for him. When he was close to attack, he used the invisible jade needle that had been secretly condensed to kill him directly.
Cheng Yilong didn't know until his death that his last knife was actually blocked by the remaining pattern that Song Qingming had sewn on his body. Without this last defense, Song Qingming should have lost the battle.
Over the years, Song Qingming has been studying the incomplete map, and he has long known that this thing is much tougher than ordinary refining materials. Whether in the Qi Refining Stage or the Foundation Building Stage, Song Qingming has used many magic tools to attack the incomplete map with all his strength, but without exception, he could not leave a trace on it. It can be seen that ordinary magic tools cannot break this defense.
Therefore, in order to give himself an extra way to save his life, Song Qingming has basically sewed it close to his chest over the years. This time, he took advantage of Cheng Yilong's contempt for him. When he attacked him in the end, he deliberately exposed a flaw on his chest and successfully calculated him.
After getting these spiritual objects from Cheng Yilong, Song Qingming also found that many of them were taken from Qinghefang this time. On the way back, he was a little worried that Lu Yuanfeng and others would investigate the whereabouts of these spiritual objects.
Fortunately, he was a little overthinking. On the one hand, Lu Yuanfeng checked the storage bag of Cheng Yilong that he had handed over on his own initiative, and there was indeed no sign of forced opening. On the other hand, it was not just the spiritual objects on him, but also many spiritual objects in the market that had disappeared. It can be seen that he was not the only one who had some tricks. In the end, Lu Yuanfeng did not pursue these things as expected. For him, winning this battle was the key. As for these tricks, as long as they were not too excessive, he could turn a blind eye.
After taking the part of the spiritual objects that belonged to his family, Song Qingming first comforted the monks who died and were injured in this battle. After all, they went out this time to fight for the Song family. If the Song family did not behave better afterwards, it would definitely chill the hearts of their vassal families.
The Song family only received 500 points of merit this time. Song Qingming even went to Guyang Mountain to see if he could exchange it for a foundation-building pill with other spiritual objects. However, he found that the merit he had was far from the required 2,000 merits, so he had to give up the idea awkwardly.
He wandered around the Merit Pavilion, but he didn't find any useful spiritual objects that he could exchange for, so he had to return home disappointed.
