Xia Tian and his companion smiled at Chen Fan.
These three special items are quite good for Entry Force Martial Artists.
On one hand, the price is five million contribution points, equivalent to the price of two High-level Fierce Beasts.
On the other hand, they are scarce in number.
Because even the association can only purchase a limited number of special items from Awakeners every month, only Meridian Refining Martial Artists are qualified to buy them.
Of course, these three are very basic special items, and the association has better ones available, but their prices are terrifyingly high!
"I’ll go with what Elder Xia suggested and choose the first one," Chen Fan laughed.
If he hadn’t joined the Awakened Association, he might have been tempted by these items, but now, he has better ones on him, and it’s not difficult to buy even better ones.
The special item given by the association could be given to Uncle Zhang once he returns to the village.
And at the same time, he could refine some top-grade Qi Blood Pills to take back.
"Alright, Brother Chen," Xia Tian wiped his finger over the ring he wore, and immediately, a ring appeared in his right hand.
"A spatial ring?"
Chen Fan asked in surprise.
"Yes, a spatial ring," Xia Tian smiled, "As long as you touch it with your finger, you can see the items inside. Just a thought can bring the items out, very convenient."
"Yes, everyone in the association uses spatial rings," Ye Ling added.
"I see."
Chen Fan nodded, internally thinking, so they’re all standard issue.
"Brother Chen, let me teach you how to set it up?"
"Elder Xia, it doesn’t seem that difficult, just need to set the fingerprint and password, right?"
"Yes, since you know, I won’t say more," Xia Tian nodded. After exchanging a glance with Ye Ling, he coughed lightly and said, "Brother Chen, now that you’re a Meridian Refining Martial Artist and an essential part of the association, there are some things I need to discuss with you."
"Mhm." Chen Fan listened attentively.
"Firstly, the headquarters provide all Meridian Refining Martial Artists with certain resource tilts. Not only do they get the privilege to buy high-level items, but they also get free cultivation resources, such as five bottles of low-grade True Qi Pills each month for those who have just entered the Meridian Refining Realm."
"Five bottles of low-grade True Qi Pills," Chen Fan murmured.
At the price of a hundred thousand each, one bottle is a million, five bottles are five million; these conditions are quite reasonable.
"Yes, we were originally planning to remind you not to take whole pills, but now it seems unnecessary."
Xia Tian smiled slightly and continued, "Mid-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artists can get three bottles of middle-grade True Qi Pills each month."
"Elder Xia, how much does one bottle of middle-grade True Qi Pills cost in the association?" Chen Fan asked out of curiosity.
At first glance, Mid-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artists get almost half the amount, but that’s not actually the case.
"One middle-grade True Qi Pill costs three hundred thousand. One bottle is three million; three bottles are nearly ten million contribution points," explained Xia Tian.
"Ten million."
Chen Fan nodded.
Compared to Early Stage Meridian Refining Martial Artists, the benefits for Mid-stage ones double.
Of course, there’s another implicit message here.
That is, one middle-grade True Qi Pill provides at least three times the potential points of a low-grade one. If a low-grade pill provides a hundred thousand points, a middle-grade one provides at least three hundred thousand.
That’s half of a Heaven-grade Qi Blood Pill.
"Elder Xia, what about Late-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artists?"
"Late-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artists can get two bottles of top-grade True Qi Pills each month." It seemed Xia Tian knew what Chen Fan would ask next, and he smiled meaningfully, "One top-grade True Qi Pill costs 1.2 million contribution points; one bottle is 12 million, two bottles, 24 million."
"24 million..."
Sun Wei’s head buzzed.
He worked tirelessly, risking his life for months to save that many contribution points.
But Late-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artists can get that amount without doing anything every month.
It’s truly demoralizing to compare.
"It’s quite good, isn’t it?" Ye Ling asked with a smile.
"Mhm," Chen Fan responded with a smile, "I’m afraid that while enjoying these rights, we also have corresponding obligations?"
Xia Tian and Ye Ling both chuckled.
"Indeed."
Xia Tian nodded, "Rights and obligations are reciprocal. The association spends a vast amount of resources to cultivate us, naturally hoping we’ll help solve its problems. Hence, all Meridian Refining Martial Artists must complete an emergency task each month."
"A very urgent, must-do task, right?"
"Yes," Ye Ling said, "The priority of emergency tasks is the highest. Once we receive the email, no matter what we’re doing, we must drop it to complete the task first. If successful, there are rewards; if failed, there are penalties. But don’t worry too much,"
She gently comforted, "Emergency tasks are dangerous, but generally, there will be seniors leading, sometimes even True Essence Realm Martial Artists. With some caution, missions can be completed successfully."
"I understand."
Chen Fan agreed, but thought to himself, these emergency tasks surely aren’t that simple.
Emergency means urgent; those two words say it all.
But as the saying goes, you train soldiers for a thousand days to use them for an hour. When danger arises, who else but the martial artists will resolve it?
After hesitating for a moment, Xia Tian said, "Brother Chen, what I’m about to say is just my personal opinion, with no ill intent.
First, emergency tasks are unpredictable, and even team leaders face risks. Given your talent in alchemy, joining the headquarters as an alchemist is quite feasible,
so you can get these cultivation resources for free without taking emergency tasks."
"I appreciate Elder Xia’s kindness, but I still want to pursue martial arts further," Chen Fan smiled.
If he went to the headquarters, he’d probably become a tool for alchemy.
Instead of placing the hope of saving the Human Race on others, he’d rather rely on himself.
"As long as you’ve decided."
Xia Tian patted Chen Fan’s shoulder.
Whether it’s hunting fierce beasts outside or refining elixirs at the headquarters, both serve the Human Race, without any difference in value.
"It’s getting late; we should leave and carry out the next task."
Sun Wei was taken aback and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Must you leave so soon? How about staying for lunch?"
"No need."
Xia Tian waved his hand, "We appreciate Chairman Sun’s hospitality."
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Fan again, "Brother Chen, if you ever change your mind and want to go to the headquarters, just message us or notify the vice-chairman, and we’ll come to get you."
"Sure, I will. Elders, take care and be safe on your way," Chen Fan said gratefully.
For whatever reason, these two from the headquarters indeed showed concern for him.
"Don’t worry, even against top-level elite fierce beasts, we can still fight." Xia Tian smiled, "Alright, no need to see us off."
"Brother Chen, Chairman Sun, take care. Looking forward to our next meeting," Ye Ling waved with a smile and followed Xia Tian out.
Nevertheless, Chen Fan and Sun Wei escorted them to the city gate.
Both parties wished each other well.
In the next moment, Xia Tian and Ye Ling shot off into the distance like bullets.
"Brother Xia, I still feel uneasy leaving Brother Chen here alone,"
Ye Ling said worriedly.
"If today’s events get out, some evil forces might target Brother Chen."
"We don’t need to worry much about that."
Xia Tian thought for a moment and said, "The only ones who know about this are Elder Tang, you and me, and Sun Wei. Headquarters will keep it a secret, we won’t say anything, and neither will Sun Wei. Brother Chen definitely won’t."
Ye Ling nodded.
"Worrying about it does no good."
Xia Tian smiled wryly, "Brother Chen refused to come with us, what else can we do? We can’t knock him out and take him away, that would be disgraceful at the headquarters."
"Indeed."
Ye Ling sighed.
That is the biggest issue.
No idea what kept Brother Chen here?
Just hope he stays safe until he decides to go to the headquarters.
At Anshan City’s gate.
Sun Wei stood, gazing into the distance.
"Chairman," Chen Fan turned and reminded, "They’ve gone far; we should head back."
"Mhm."
Sun Wei finally looked away.
Feeling a bit regretful.
The headquarters barely sent anyone, and they left in less than two hours.
But it wasn’t a complete loss since a Mid-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist stood beside him now.
"Brother Chen, you really put me to shame. Honestly, I don’t even feel right sitting as chairman anymore," Sun Wei said apologetically.
Chen Fan waved his hands, "Chairman, I’m not interested in your position at all. I just want to refine elixirs and hunt fierce beasts quietly."
Sun Wei couldn’t help but chuckle.
He thought of something and hesitated before asking, "Brother Chen, could I ask you a favor?"
"Is it about top-grade Qi Blood Pills?" Chen Fan smiled.
"!"
Sun Wei was shocked, blushing, "How did you know?"
He coughed, "Yes, Brother Chen, could you sell me some top-grade Qi Blood Pills?"
