218 Shangguan Qingyou (1/2)

After Mo Qingtian's explanation, Mo Wen finally understood. He had a full understanding of the mutual relationship between the Executors in the Huatian Palace.

The Huatian Palace and the Executors of the four Palace Halls under it had a relationship equivalent to hiring. Executors would complete missions designated by the Huatian Palace, then based on the difficulty of the mission, they would be awarded the corresponding amount of Contribution Credits.

Contribution Credits were equivalent to the outside world's Renminbi. It could be used in the Huatian Palace to purchase items, replacing the role of currency.

Of course, the items purchased in the Huatian Palace weren't for daily use. Instead, they were items that were useful for an ancient martial art practitioner, such as high level practice techniques, high level martial arts, incredible weapons, pills to increase cultivation, treasures that supported practice…

It was said there were only things you couldn't imagine; there was nothing the Huatian Palace did not have. If you had enough Contribution Credits, anything could be purchased.

In the Huatian Palace, there were treasures the outside world did not have. Who knew how many people had been drawn in by them.

In reality, more than 90% of the Executors from the Four Palace Halls were not trained by the Huatian Palace. Instead, they were disciples from various ancient martial art sects and factions in the ancient martial arts world who had been admitted into the Huatian Palace and could hold positions as Executors in the Huatian Palace.

As long as you passed the Huatian Palace's assessment, then you could become an Executor of the Huatian Palace.

However, it was easier said than done. Who knew how many people in the ancient martial arts world wanted to join the Huatian Palace, but every year those that succeeded in joining weren't many.

That was because the Huatian Palace's assessment was too harsh. Normal people had no way to complete the assessment. Only those with exceptional talent could manage to be admitted into the Huatian Palace.

From a certain perspective, the Huatian Palace was like a school, but what they learnt was not astronomy, geography, physics or chemistry, but ancient martial arts practice.

Just like examinations, only by passing various levels of tests could one finally be admitted.

The Huatian Palace's assessment was very strict. Only ancient martial art practitioners below the age of thirty were qualified to take the assessment. Those above thirty years old, unless they were exceptional talents, would not even have the opportunity to take the assessment.

The reason that people from the ancient martial arts world flocked with hopes of joining the Huatian Palace was the Contribution Credits exchange system. The Huatian Palace had resources that the outside world didn't.

Some items, no matter how strong the ancient martial arts sect was, they did not have. Only the Huatian Palace had them. Only within the Huatian Palace, could those with exceptional talent receive sufficient development, breaking through realms non-stop, achieving their ideal standards.

It could be said that in the Huatian Palace, more than 70% of the ancient martial arts world's genius youths were gathered. On the Heaven and Earth Lists, more than half were Huatian Palace Executors. From this, it could be seen as an enormous power held by the Huatian Palace.

Being admitted into the Huatian Palace did not mean that one could sit back and relax. After a certain period of time, one had to complete stage assessments. For example, after joining the Huatian Palace for a year, one must become a One star Executor. After three years, one must become a Two Star Executor. After seven years, one had to become a Three Star Executor.

If one did not achieve the set standard, they would lose their status as a Huatian Palace Executor, and also henceforth lose the opportunity to take the assessment again.

However, once one became a Three Star Executor, they could stay in the Huatian Palace for long periods of time. By then, the Three Star Executor would be given a chance to choose. They could proactively leave the Huatian Palace and return to their previous sect. Or, they could forever leave their sect and become a member of the Huatian Palace, no longer becoming a member of any other sect.

If the Executor chose the latter and became a member of the Huatian Palace, then they were qualified to come in contact with the Huatian Palace headquarters. Once one officially became a Huatian Palace Executor, the benefits that they got would increase in folds.

Mo Wen secretly sighed at the methods of the Huatian Palace. The Huatian Palace, with such a method, had basically poached all the sects in the ancient martial arts world, taking all the disciples with excellent talent and absorbing all of them into the Huatian Palace.

Hence, naturally they were indirectly weakening the influence of the ancient martial arts sects, monopolizing the new generation's resources.

No wonder the Huatian Palace had so many young experts. On the way there, everyone they met was one. Now, Mo Wen finally understood why.

Contribution Credits could be used to exchange for items then be expended, but Contribution Merits would not be expended. Every time one received a Contribution Credit, then they would correspondingly receive one Contribution Merit.

Contribution Merits could not be used for transactions, but could be continuously accumulated and would not decrease. Once enough Contribution Merits were accumulated, the Executor's rank would correspondingly increase by half a star. Because of this, so there were Four and a half stars, Five and a half stars Executor ranks.

As for the Contribution Merits name list, it was calculated based on the amount of Contribution Merits accumulated within a natural month. The more Contribution Merits accumulated within a month, the higher the ranking. The name list would be summarised at the end of every month to confirm the rankings, then cleared and reset for the next month.

As for the qualified benefits for being ranked on the namelist, it naturally was in the form of preferential treatment when exchanging items with the Huatian Palace. Simply put, it would be cheaper to do so.

Almost all the Huatian Palace's Executors joined because of this exchange system. There were inexhaustible resources that could help them in their practice. For them, there was never enough Contribution Credits for them to use; there were too many items they wanted to exchange, but the ones they could afford to exchange were but a few.

So the discounted price, for the Executors who eyed the treasures of the Huatian Palace every day, was certainly valuable and very attractive. It meant that items that were once unaffordable, now finally could be purchased.

A playful grin popped up on Mo Wen's face. The Huatian Palace could possibly have a immortal cultivator faction behind them. For immortal cultivators, the things they owned naturally were not what the ancient martial art practitioners could imagine.
