Chapter 1042: 1042

The number of new disciples in the Xuantian Dao Sect numbered in the millions . However, the majority were not combat disciples .

The inner sect trial Long Chen and the others had gone through was to become the main combat disciples . Their group was viewed as the most important group by the Xuantian Dao Sect .

Most of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples could be split into combat disciples, support disciples, and inheritance disciples .

There was no need to explain much about the combat disciples . They were the disciples that would form the core of the sect’s battle strength . They were the elites of the sect .

As for the support disciples, they were the disciples that would help the combat disciples in battle . There were a great deal of these disciples, and they included healers, formation masters, illusion masters, etc . When they worked together with the combat disciples, they would be like tigers with wings . They were also viewed importantly by the sect .

However, since there were so many of them, they needed constant adjustment and training so they could cooperate properly with the combat disciples . If their teamwork was off, it would result in casualties rather than increasing their power .

Other than these two categories of disciples, there were also inheritance disciples . These disciples included alchemists, talisman scribes, Forging Masters, essentially disciples with special and ancient inheritances . These disciples were important pillars for the Xuantian Dao Sect’s economy .

The amount the Xuantian Dao Sect invested in them was definitely no less than what they put into the combat disciples . Teaching them their arts exhausted endless resources . Their failure rate at the beginning was frighteningly high .

But once they gradually reached a certain level of mastery, they would bring in a shocking amount of profit to the Xuantian Dao Sect . There were many of these disciples, and they were also cared for deeply by the sect .

However, support disciples and inheritance disciples were not allowed to form their own factions . They simply learned from their teachers and cultivated .

Only the combat disciples had the qualifications to form their own factions and recruit members . In the future, the Xuantian Dao Sect would distribute rewards based on the individual factions’ accomplishments and displays .

Long Chen’s faction was simply called the Dragonblood Legion . They had their personal territory which was a three-hundred-mile mountain . This land belonged to the Dragonblood Legion, and others could not enter, not even the Law Enforcement Hall .

To inner sect disciples, this was a token of their grand status . The six great factions all had their own territories, and there was no better or worse one . They were essentially the same .

Inner sect disciples also had access to cultivation regions . These cultivation resources needed to be activated in order to be used, and the requirement for activating them was… the Xuantian Dao Sect’s hardest currency to obtain, points .

Using a cultivation region for a few hours exhausted a frightening number of points . If all the disciples of the Dragonblood Legion pooled their points, they would only be able to train for a day in a high grade training room .

That was why those cultivation regions couldn’t be randomly entered . Your time inside would normally be measured by the hour, and you couldn’t waste a single second of that time .

“Boss, are you not going to cla.s.s? I thought you’d still be there for a few hours,” said Guo Ran on the way .

“Do you think I’m as ignorant as you? The teacher saw how erudite I was and let me leave,” said Long Chen without turning red or unnatural in the slightest .

Guo Ran immediately felt a burst of admiration . That wors.h.i.+pful expression on his face projected his pride at having such a bada.s.s boss . It seemed he had no idea that the teacher had told Long Chen to scram, not to leave .

They quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain . The spiritual qi here was dense, and the trees were so huge they soared into the sky . There was a small stone path that led to the peak .

According to the rules, the people who won this territory had the right to name it . Tang Wan-er had decided to call this place Crouching Dragon Mountain .

This name had been approved by all the Dragonblood warriors . They couldn’t think of a better, more appropriate name .

At the top of Crouching Dragon Mountain was a grand and beautiful pavilion . This was Long Chen’s residence . From there, it was possible to overlook all of Crouching Dragon Mountain .

When Long Chen arrived, he saw that the majority of the disciples were out taking cla.s.ses . Only a portion remained .

The ones present had mostly already finished all their cla.s.ses . During these days, they had been thinking about what kinds of cultivation goals they should set for themselves, and what direction they should take their cultivation .

Guo Ran had only gone out to mess around because he had finished his cla.s.ses . Now he was returning with a swollen and bruised face .

Long Chen had missed the wave of courses for only inner sect disciples, and thus could only listen with the outer sect disciples . Being kicked out was perfect, as he had important matters to handle .

“Boss, my investigation during these days revealed that everyone’s points are very limited . Getting more points is difficult, especially since everyone is treating the points they have as treasures . They’re busy investigating how to use their points in the best manner possible . For us to get more points will be very difficult,” said Qian Duoduo upon seeing Long Chen .

During the past few days, Qian Duoduo had constantly been investigating the use of points and everyone’s thoughts about them . To get more was far too difficult .

“That’s to be expected . People are probably a.s.sessing and weighing the value of their points, so no one is willing to use them yet in case they lose out . But in truth, this is the greatest opportunity for us . We’re not going to buy points, we’re going to sell points,” said Long Chen .

“Sell?”

Qian Duoduo couldn’t believe his ears . Others were doing all they could to get more points; some people even had the urge to s.n.a.t.c.h them away forcibly . But Long Chen wanted to sell them off?

“Yes, sell . Have you investigated how people sell points?” asked Long Chen .

Qian Duoduo thought about it for a moment before saying, “I have heard someone say that he was willing to offer ten thousand middle grade spirit stones for one point . But that’s just what he said . There’s no one actually selling them at that price . It’s not like people are stupid . The spiritual qi in the Xuantian Dao Sect is so dense that middle grade spirit stones are basically useless . No one would buy them . That person was sneered at when he shouted that price, and someone said he was willing to pay twice the price for his points . And that person declined . ”

“That’s a good thing . In a bit, release word that we are releasing a limited number of points . As for the price, just make it fifteen thousand middle grade spirit stones for one point . Furthermore, the points are only to be sold to outer sect disciples, and each disciple can only buy one . They are not permitted to buy it again,” said Long Chen .

“I don’t get it,” said Qian Duoduo .

“Just do it . Release twenty thousand points for now . Let’s see the results,” said Long Chen .

Qian Duoduo was lost, but he still did as Long Chen instructed . He went out in search of w.a.n.g Mang and the others .

w.a.n.g Mang was an outer sect disciple from the senior generation . He had gone to the Eastern Wasteland to greet the new disciples, but as a result, the Dragonblood Legion had made him submit completely .

w.a.n.g Mang was an old acquaintance, so it was best to go through him . Using his mouth to spread the news would have a better effect .

Everyone had only just obtained their points and they weren’t clear on the exact value of them . Long Chen wanted to take advantage of that to rake in a killing .

In truth, Long Chen already had a certain idea about the value of a point . He had seen a catalog of what the points could be exchanged for in the sect . One point could be exchanged for one nine-ring Heavenly Star Sea Merging Pill .

The Heavenly Star Sea Merging Pill’s main ingredient was the Nine Yang Heavenly Star Gra.s.s . Its effect was even greater than the Sea Merging Pill Long Chen had used before with the Seven Stamen Seaheart Fruit .

However, the Nine Yang Heavenly Star Gra.s.s was extremely expensive . Depending on its age, it sold for between eight hundred to one thousand five hundred middle grade spirit stones .

Long Chen didn’t have that medicinal ingredient, but he could buy one . Then he would have an unlimited supply of it with the primal chaos bead .

One Nine Yang Heavenly Star Gra.s.s plus over a hundred supplementary ingredients would transform to become three thousand middle grade spirit stones through a successful refinement .

However, the odds of a successful refinement were only thirty percent . And so the manufacturing cost was basically just under ten thousand middle grade spirit stones .

It was no wonder that the person saying he would buy a point for ten thousand middle grade spirit stones was cursed . He must have thought others were idiots .

The investment to refine the pill three times was essentially ten thousand middle grade spirit stones . And ordinary alchemists wouldn’t necessarily be able to refine a nine-ring pill no matter how hard they tried . Even if the top masters of the Xuantian Dao Sect came out, a nine-ring pill would still be a very high level existence to them .

That was why Long Chen estimated one point to be worth around fifteen to eighteen thousand middle grade spirit stones . As for why he first released a limited twenty thousand points into the market, it was bait . The first thing to do was to get the atmosphere ready . Then once the fish came, he would make the real killing .

It had already been quite some time since he had arrived at the Xuantian Dao Sect . According to their agreement, Zheng Wenlong should be sending him a message in the next few days after he had stabilized himself in the Central Plains .

At that time, he would have plenty of middle grade spirit stones to buy things from him . He would make a great deal of profit by doing things like this .

These disciples’ middle grade spirit stones had essentially become trash now that they had come to the Xuantian Dao Sect . The spirit stones were useless to the disciples, and rather than letting the Xuantian Dao Sect benefit from people throwing them away, they could be used to help Long Chen .

Long Chen felt a great deal of pressure . His family had grown much, much larger . These new disciples had no selfish motives, as was proven when they had handed all their points to Tang Wan-er . Perhaps only by going through blood and fire could people see the true meaning of cultivation instead of being blinded by greed .

Originally, Long Chen hadn’t been thinking of accepting new people . He had just wanted to lead the original members of the Dragonblood Legion to dominate the world, but now his plans were forced to change . That battle had completely changed his original thinking .

These disciples had ordinary talent, just like the original Dragonblood warriors . But Long Chen was sure that as long as he had money, he could transform them into a powerful army . And this army would be completely loyal and devoted to him .

At the same time, Long Chen felt his own power was lacking . His fight against Que Xinyan had shown him that he still wasn’t strong enough . He had to work hard on upgrading himself as well as upgrading all the Dragonblood warriors .

He couldn’t bother with that voice or how it called him the son of fate . If things were to continue as they were, he would be crushed like a dog, so first things first .

“Ah, I almost forgot about Que Xinyan’s Earth Flame Beast . Let’s see if I can subdue it and have it refine pills for me . ”

Long Chen’s eyes suddenly brightened . He could refine the Heavenly Star Sea Merging Pill, but he didn’t have the time . If he could subdue another Earth Flame and have it refine pills along with Huo Long, wouldn’t that be amazing?

Thinking of that, Long Chen felt a burst of antic.i.p.ation and joy . He hastily looked inside the primal chaos s.p.a.ce, but when he saw the situation inside, he couldn’t help but become dumbfounded .
