Chapter 912: Chapter 895: Preparing to Return - Exchange of Battle Merits! (Supplementary Update 32)

[The Clan Leader seeks votes! Recommending a smash of two Chapters!]One hour later.

Calm and collected, after an hour of adjusting his breath, Xiao Chen suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and his entire body became thoroughly tranquil. Whether it was the circulation of qi and blood around his body or the mysteries of the qi, everything was reined in completely.

He seemed like a mortal, the abnormal sensations that had arisen from descending from the God King Stage also vanished without a trace, like a luminous gemstone that had its brilliance concealed, its divine brilliance withdrawn.

This was not a depletion of foundation nor was it like a bright moon obscured by dust, but rather an accumulation and conservation of energy, in anticipation of nurturing a deeper foundation.

Roar!

Soon, a golden figure burst into the Great Hall. The little pegasus, like a streak of golden light, arrived in front of Xiao Chen, having also sensed his awakening.

"Little guy, we should return to the tribe now. I wonder how the reopening of the War God Temple is going," Xiao Chen said with a light smile, looking at the little pegasus.

"Are we going back now?" The little pegasus lifted its golden head, and with its mouth opening and closing, a tender voice emerged.

"Let’s make a trip to the Hall of War Merits first to see if we can find any spirit medicine that can treat Lord Qingjiao’s injuries, then we will head back to the tribe."

Lord Qingjiao had been affected by the attack from a foreign race monarch. Although it was just a slight touch of the monarch’s momentum, it was not something ordinary medicinal herbs could heal.

Although Xiao Chen knew how to concoct elixirs, without the necessary spirit medicine, he would still be unable to begin the alchemy process. Even though the Gu Yuan Tribe had been collecting over the years, they were still lacking that one type of spirit medicine.

The Hall of War Merits.

It was the place where human warriors of the Great Eastern Wasteland amassed their glorious battle honors, earned through bloody battles against foreign races, with not a trace of falsity.

The bones and blood of foreign race warriors were the battle honors of the humans, never obtained without combat, without defending the human realm.

War merits were the warrior’s honors, and not a single warrior would engage in deception, for that would be a disgrace!

Xiao Chen left the Divine Marquis Palace, prepared to head to the Hall of War Merits. As for the little pegasus, it was already sent into the Mountain and River Seal World.

He was prepared to head to the Hall of War Merits. After exchanging for the treasures, he would immediately return to the Gu Yuan Tribe, as it had been no short period since he had left the tribe.

The Divine Marquis Palace also did not restrict the freedom of the Divine Marquis; it was only required to return to the Divine Marquis Palace once every hundred years. Of course, a hundred years, for Xiao Chen at his current age, still seemed very long.

As for the two followers he had accepted, Xiao Chen did not have them accompany him but had them stay in the Eastern Emperor Domain. Now that he had obtained the Void Crystal, the opening of the Void Teleportation Array of the Gu Yuan Tribe was not far off, and naturally, the tribe would need two strong ones to guard the Void Array.

The Hall of War Merits was located in the southeast corner of the Eastern Emperor Palace Territory, over a hundred thousand miles away from the Divine Marquis Palace.

For Xiao Chen at his current realm, traversing a hundred thousand miles across the land did not require much time. However, this place was the Eastern Emperor Palace, and one could not recklessly pass through the void as they wished.

Otherwise, if one inadvertently displeased an old monster, the consequences would be all too predictable. Such events had indeed happened in bygone years.

Luckily, Xiao Chen had the Divine Marquis Order. This token also represented the status of a nominal elder of the Eastern Emperor Palace. With this token, it was extremely convenient for him within the Eastern Emperor Palace. He easily mounted a Jiao Long and swept towards the Hall of War Merits.

The Hall of War Merits, contrary to what one might imagine, didn’t exude an imposing atmosphere but instead had a very serene air about it.

This caused a slight surprise in Xiao Chen who had arrived at the Hall of War Merits; the hall was not like the imagined Great Hall, but rather a large courtyard composed of many smaller courtyards.

Within the entire Hall of War Merits, there was only one type of ancient tree, known as the Falling Heart Tree.

Falling Heart Tree, Falling Heart Flower, the flower falls and the heart condenses, the qi dissolves.

This was also why the entire Hall of War Merits appeared so serene; even warriors with their qi soaring to the heavens and with an intense aura of slaughter would become infected with the tranquility emanating from the Falling Heart Flower, calming down as a result.

Compared to the Divine Marquis Palace, the Hall of War Merits was rather bustling, with people coming and going. The passing warriors were all very strong, and there were even several of them whose momentum Xiao Chen could hardly sense. All he felt was chaos, clearly individuals who were Near Monarch Experts.

The human warriors hunted foreign race warriors, earned war merits, and came to the Hall of War Merits to exchange for resources. The hall Xiao Chen saw was the main hall of war merits in the Eastern Wasteland, and in the various regions of the Human Ancestral Courts, there were also sub-halls of war merits. Not all warriors had the ability to come to the Eastern Emperor Domain.

Upon entering the Hall of War Merits, Xiao Chen went straight to a courtyard that no other warriors entered. The entire Hall of War Merits was composed of thousands of identical small courtyards like this, allowing thousands of warriors to exchange their war merits simultaneously!

"In the little stone house of the courtyard, despite lacking the grandeur of the great hall, there was no shortage of aura—it was like the usual council hall within the tribe, with stone tables and chairs, and at the head of the room sat a middle-aged warrior."

"Dressed in a deep blue beastskin robe, he exuded calmness and presence, with thick eyebrows and tiger-like eyes. He did not resemble someone who managed the Hall of War Merits, and his strength caught Xiao Chen’s attention—a legendary strong one of the Ninth Heavenly Layer."

"Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly realizing as he stepped into the stone house; he pondered whether the warrior before him had achieved his Nine-Tier Martial Arts Tower inherently at birth, or if he had ascended to legend through inheritance and refinement from his predecessors."

"Even if he had ascended to legend by refining Martial Arts Tower, if each of the Hall’s thousands of small courtyards were overseen by a legendary strong one, it would undoubtedly be a terrifying force."

"Please sit." Seeing Xiao Chen enter the stone house, the legendary warrior at the head gestured for him to sit down. Tea was promptly served by other warriors, giving the atmosphere of meeting friends rather than a place for exchanging war accomplishments."

"I am Han Sui, the manager of this place for exchanging war achievements." After Xiao Chen settled, the manager reiterated.

"What treasures or Martial Arts Classics would you like to exchange?"

"I need to exchange for Spirit Medicine that heals injuries of a Near Monarch Expert," Xiao Chen replied without delay, then paused before continuing.

"Spirit Medicine that heals injuries of a Near Monarch Expert," the word of Xiao Chen made the manager, Han Sui, pause slightly.

He could naturally discern Xiao Chen’s strength and realm, yet being of such realm, the need for Spirit Medicine to heal injuries caused by a Near Monarch Expert much surprised him.

"Injuries caused by a foreign Near Monarch Expert who cultivates cold darkness attribute laws. Could you know which clan’s Near Monarch Expert it was? The Near Monarch Expert of the Blood Clan leans towards cold darkness, the Ghost Tribe’s expert tends to evil, and the Demon Clan’s Monarch is extremely terrifying with both attributes. So the Spiritual Pills for treating injuries caused by foreign Near Monarch Experts naturally differ."

Han Sui detailed the various differences to Xiao Chen.

However, Xiao Chen soon realized that the manager misunderstood his words, thinking he was asking for Spiritual Pills. The value of Spiritual Pills for treating the injuries of a Near Monarch Expert, Xiao Chen estimated, would be beyond his capability to exchange even if he used all his merit points.

And opting for Spirit Medicine that can be refined into Spiritual Pill would consequently cost less merit points. If he could obtain a seedling and cultivate it within Mountain and River Seal World, that would be even more cost-effective.

"Manager Han, I need to exchange for Burial King Flower, Withered Wood Ink Lotus, and Nine-Star Sky Cyan Grass," Xiao Chen then said again.

The three types of Spirit Medicine Xiao Chen mentioned were all extremely rare even among Heavenly grade medicine, with the Burial King Flower in particular having the potential to rise to become a Medicine King.

But reaching the true status of Medicine King would require fate, which means bathing in King’s Blood, absorbing true King Blood, and ultimately becoming a Medicine King—hence, the name Burial King Flower.

Of course, what Xiao Chen needed was just an ordinary Burial King Flower. Even if he were to offer up the entire Gu Yuan Tribe, he could not acquire one bathed in King Blood.

Withered Wood Ink Lotus was a mid-tier Heavenly grade medicine, classified as a rare treasure, growing on a very unusual withered tree. After nine lives and nine deaths of the tree, a crystal containing the essence of life and death would form within the withered wood.

The Withered Wood Ink Lotus emerged from this life and death crystal, laden with vitality amidst death qi. Each petal of the ink lotus could rejuvenate a warrior, breathing new life into them.

The tiers of Spirit Medicine are categorized based on the years they have grown and their potential for growth. The three types of Spirit Medicine chosen by Xiao Chen were exceptional, naturally high-tier with the potential to reach Heavenly grade.

Take ordinary Blood Ginseng, for instance. If it grows up to a thousand years, it can be considered a lower Terrestrial Tier medicine. But were the same Blood Ginseng to fortuitously grow for nine thousand years, it would be assigned as an upper Heavenly grade medicine, and at ten thousand years, it would become Medicine King.

Under normal circumstances, Blood Ginseng couldn’t grow for that length of time. After reaching a certain number of years, its medicinal power would cease to increase and might even wither.

As for the growth potential of Spirit Medicine, taking the Burial King Flower as an example—even as a seedling, it could attain the status of Heavenly grade. If it is naturally bathed in King Blood from birth, then it could be a Medicine King due to its inherent potential.

Nine-Star Sky Cyan Grass, another mid-tier Heavenly grade medicine, could grow for eight thousand years. Its entire stem is blue, bearing nine leaves, each leaf adorned with nine stars.

This type of Spirit Medicine is seldom seen in the Great Wasteland and is valued much higher than its grade, nearly impossible to find.

Fortunately, Lord Qingjiao’s injury was merely a slight disturbance by a foreign Near Monarch Expert’s momentum. If Lord Qingjiao were truly attacked by a Near Monarch Expert, a true Medicine King would be needed to treat the injury.

Manager Han was slightly taken aback by the three types of Spirit Medicine Xiao Chen mentioned, but he understood that he had grasped the wrong idea.

"The Spirit Medicine you’ve mentioned are all available in the Hall of War Merits," Manager Han quickly regained composure and responded.
