Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 396 - 75 Discussing Merits and Rewards (Making Up for the Missed Update Due to Leave, Asking for Monthly Votes!)_3

Moving forward, if one wanted to advance further in the path of Martial Arts, they would have to rely on themselves.

Thus, to their eyes, the batch of Contribution Points on the stone table in front of them was not few but rather substantial.

For most of them, even if they spent all their savings, it would only amount to the pile of Contribution Points on the stone table.

At that moment,

Jiang Ning picked up three silver Jade pieces from the stone table.

He tossed two of the silver Jade pieces to Feng Jiuge.

"This is yours!"

Then, he tossed the other silver Jade piece to Xie Xiaojiu.

"This is yours!"

Feng Jiuge received the two silver Jade pieces thrown by Jiang Ning, as if he was holding hot potatoes.

"Sir, this is too much!"

Jiang Ning said, "This is what you deserve! If it hadn’t been for your discovery of that stronghold, how could we have achieved such a harvest yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiuge replied, "Sir, if it weren’t for your presence yesterday, all of us would have been annihilated. In a sense, you saved our lives."

Jiang Ning shook his head, "There’s no need for such words!"

Then, he addressed Feng Jiuge and Xie Xiaojiu, "Divide the pile of Bronze Coins on the stone table between you two."

"Yes, sir!" Xie Xiaojiu and Feng Jiuge immediately responded.

After giving the instructions, Jiang Ning started walking toward the inside of the house.

Just making an appearance to let them know that the Contribution Points were coming from him was enough.

As for how to divide them, how much each person should get, Jiang Ning couldn’t be bothered to worry about that.

Inside the house,

Jiang Ning checked the Contribution Points stored in his Sumeru Ring.

A moment later,

"Not bad!" he nodded.

He still had over 120,000 Contribution Points!

These Contribution Points, if exchanged for silver, amounted to more than 120,000 taels of silver, which could be exchanged for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, significantly increasing his Source Energy Points.

But this thought just flashed through his mind and was then dismissed.

As for Source Energy Points, he had ways to acquire them.

However, acquiring that many Contribution Points was not that simple.

The statue of the Honored God had been found on the bodies of the God Worship Sect Martial Artists in Luoshui County, and they hardly had any loot left.

Without sufficient Contribution Points, his position in the Inspection Office couldn’t be elevated, nor could his permissions be upgraded.

With insufficient permissions, he currently didn’t even qualify to access detailed information about Martial Arts Fifth Grade.

Let alone plan his future path in Martial Arts.

Therefore, he dared not squander these Contribution Points carelessly.

Regarding Sixth Rank, he had already taken a firm first step.

As for the second and third steps, he just needed to proceed step by step.

The real challenge was the road ahead.

In this world, the methods of Martial Arts practice became increasingly secretive the further one progressed.

Like him now, well-read as he was, his understanding of Fifth Grade was limited, and let alone reaching Fourth Grade and above to Grandmaster, it was mostly gleaned from snippets in books.

The path through the Inspection Office was crucial for him to smoothly acquire subsequent Martial Arts practices.

Moreover, ordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were not offered in the listings of the Internal Affairs Office and were not recorded.

To acquire Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, one could only exchange Contribution Points one-to-one for silver, something only a fool would do.

Beyond Fifth Grade, he still depended on the Avenue of the Inspection Office.

Therefore, naturally, he could not frivolously use his Contribution Points.

As for increasing his Source Energy Points, he wasn’t without methods.

With the elevation of his strength and swimming skills, his sensory range underwater increased, and in the Luoshui River, he could find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Like the Snow Lotus and the mysterious Black Stone he had previously found in the Luoshui River.

The Luoshui River was vast enough to allow him to slowly search for the hidden Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Moreover, in the Sumeru Ring, there was also a rather useless Golden Box.

The Golden Box was made of pure gold, weighing over a pound.

More than a pound, that was about over a dozen taels of gold.

Dozens of taels of gold was equivalent to over 10,000 taels of silver.

Finding time, he could spend that gold to buy some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to absorb, increasing his Source Energy Points, and easing the current burning issue.

[Source Energy]: 374.11

After glancing at his panel, he immediately closed it.

At the same time, freewebnσvel.cѳm

He heard the voices of discussion from the courtyard from inside the house.

"Awesome, I actually got five Bronze Coins, with this I can exchange for a movement technique!"

"I’m thrilled too, rewarded according to our merits, I got four Bronze Coins, I’ll exchange them for silver with those Martial Arts Garden disciples, don’t have to worry about training resources for the next few months!"

"It’s great following Commander Jiang! Undertaking a task yesterday without any danger, and received a reward worth thousands of taels of silver, mentioning it would make other teams envious."

"Of course! Commander Jiang is the prodigy of our Luoshui County, following under Commander Jiang’s command is truly promising!"

"..."

Hearing the praises of those team members outside, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but feel guilty.

During yesterday’s mission, the real benefits were taken by himself, the bulk of the Contribution Points were kept by himself.

A total of 170,000 Contribution Points, and today he only distributed just over 10,000 of them.

"Later! I’ll properly compensate them when there’s a chance!"

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

The image of Qinghe Marquis Mansion emerged in his mind.

He Jinyun had been killed by him, and He Jinyun’s elder brother had now come to Luoshui County.

His trace hadn’t been seen for a few days, but the invisible pressure was still lingering in Jiang Ning’s mind.

"I refuse to believe, with the backing of the Inspection Office, that Qinghe Marquis Mansion would dare to disrespect me!"

After contemplation, Jiang Ning murmured to himself.

Then, he opened his panel again.

[Skill]: Five Animals Fist (Second Limit Breaking needs 200 Source Energy Points, and I have just enough!)

"With my experience gaining efficiency today, the second limit breaking of Five Animals Fist should be completed in the next couple of days!"

"I hope the second limit breaking of Five Animals Fist aids the growth of my strength!"
