In the middle of the Winter Court was a large hall.
It was called the Hall of Punishment.
In any of the farmers' Xu family's trainings, anyone who had contribution points on them could come here to exchange for more.
With Xu Lei and the others leading the way, Xu Zongyi quickly understood.
"Didn't you kids just finish exchanging contribution points? Why are you here again? " At the entrance of the Hall of Contributions, there was a chubby old man with white hair and a beaming smile.
"Elder Dong Fa, we are here to exchange for a friend." The five brothers saluted simultaneously. Elder Dong Fa's status in the Winter Court was extremely high, only second to Xu Minglu.
"Oh?" Elder Dong Fury glanced at Xu Zongyi and sighed in his heart, "Ah, Xu Chen's child seems to have grown up quite well. Back then, the 'sin' words on his face were still carved with clarity."
"Then take him for a walk." Elder Dong Fury smiled, giving off the feeling of a spring breeze. He didn't seem like someone who was in charge of criminal law at all.
"Thank you, Elder." Xu Lei and Xu Qiong entered the Hall of Reward and Punishment together with Xu Zongyi.
"Was that Elder Dong Fa?" It doesn't look like it. " Xu Zongyi had heard of the people in charge of this position in Winter Court.
"Elder Dong Fa is very fierce, but normally he's still fine." Xu Yu said with a bitter face: "But if you see Elder Dong Ci later, don't be afraid, he is just a stubborn person with a soft heart."
The entire Hall of Punishment took up an extremely large amount of space.
However, there was no treasury here. There were only scrolls of books densely packed together, divided into different categories and distributed throughout the entire reward hall.
Not long after entering the Hall of Punishment, there was a skinny old man with a face as sharp as a knife and as sharp as an axe. His wolf eyes made people shudder when they saw him, and even more terrifying was the aura on his body.
"Greetings, Elder Dong Chong." Xu Lei, Xu Yu and the rest brought Xu Zongyi along and hurriedly bowed.
"Is your ass itchy? in and out. " Elder Dong Chong raised his eyebrows. Although Xu Lei and his men knew that he was a stubborn and soft-hearted person, they still couldn't help but tremble from head to toe.
"Because the Brother Zong Yi from the Scripture Hall is here, he isn't too familiar with this place. Therefore, we have to do our best to avoid him going down the wrong path and don't know how to exchange for contribution points." Xu Yu smiled coyly.
"Mm, then you guys take good care of him." Elder Dong Yin's face darkened as he closed his eyes. Only then did Xu Zongyi and the rest feel the pressure lessen.
"Brother Zong Yi, take a look and see which type you want. Go look for those books, then you can directly exchange for them." Next to him, Xu Lie pointed at the many bookshelves in front of him.
"This?" Xu Zongyi was astonished, "How is that possible?"
"Don't underestimate these scrolls, every single one of them has hidden spaces within their words." Xu Lei grinned and said: "You don't know much about this place. I'll help you find whatever you want."
"I want to find the seed of the Thread Grass!" Xu Zongyi was extremely curious. After all, he had never been here before, and the Xu family was an unfathomable force. There were many things he did not know.
"Spirit Condensation, here are the herbs." Xu Ling was clearly very familiar with this place.
Xu Zongyi walked over to a nearby bookcase and took the book from his hands. He flipped open the cover and saw a stalk of Thought-Gathering Grass. A thousand achievement points each.
Xu Zongyi couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. In other words, he had to kill two Fiery-Scaled Serpents that had gone all the way through his body in order to obtain a single seed?
However, now that he had more points, he picked up the pen beside him and wrote down the number of points he wanted to exchange. "One thousand."
In an instant, the one million Valley Token on his body merged into the thought gathering grass line.
In its place was a floating bag containing a total of 1,000 Spirit Gathering Grass.
Each thought gathering herb was only the size of a sesame seed, and was worth a million contribution points.
"Tsk tsk, how generous." Xu Lei sighed.
"It seems that brother Zong Yi wants to grow the grass. It's value is indeed very high. If it can grow the purple rank, then it's worth more than five times the Bone Strengthening Rice!" Xu Ling laughed and said: "If brother Zong Yi can grow it by the time the time comes, you can sell it to us for a bit too."
"Alright, I'll give it a try first." Xu Zongyi did not dare to exaggerate, as he still had 305,000 contribution points with him. He was trying to figure out what to trade for.
Xu Xindie had gifted the fool sword to him. Now that she had a magical equipment of her own, the accumulation of wealth was the most important in the short term.
The plants that were grown could be brought into the grain depot and exchanged for items of the same level that they needed.
"Right, water!" Xu Zongyi came to a realization.
If you want to grow good grass, you must have good water.
Although the Scripture Hall had clear water, that was still the eleventh place on the list. It was very precious.
Other people would use that water source to grow very high grade crops. Using it to grow Spirit Gathering Grass would simply be a waste of a heaven's gift.
Furthermore, he did not dare to steal the Pure Heaven Primordial Water for himself. Furthermore, the amount of water required for each crop was different.
Every type of water could bring a plant to its limits.
"Heart Nurturing Water." Xu Zongyi had seen the Water Melting Ceremony before, and there was a middle stream in the depths of the Heart Nurturing Valley that flowed within it.
The deeper one went, the more nourishing the Heart Nourishing Water was to the vegetation.
Thus, here, the Heart Nourishing Water was similarly divided into seven grades, the same as the plants.
Pure Heart Nourishing Water, 10 contribution points per jin.
Orange rank Heart Nourishing Water, 20 contribution points, one catty.
Yellow grade Heart Nourishing Water, 40 contribution points per jin.
Green Purity Water, eighty contribution points for one catty.
And so on.
Xu Zongyi pondered for a moment before deciding on the Yellow Grade Heart Nourishing Water.
He picked up the pen and started writing.
Sure enough, all the remaining contribution points were poured into the scroll, and the remaining 35,000 contribution points were displayed on it. It could be exchanged for 7,625 jin of Yellow Grade Heart-Nourishing Water.
A dimension opened up, and a water dragon appeared in the air.
Xu Zongyi could feel that the purity of this Yellow Grade Heart Nourishing Water was much higher than the water in his own well.
The well next to his house had been diluted by the Sky Clear Primordial Water, but the well was probably only filled with a few drops of it. No one knew how much time had passed, so the effects were naturally not as obvious.
There was an even more important point. Only by nurturing the heart could one concentrate.
The essence of the Heart Rejuvenation Water greatly improved the growth of Spirit Concentrating Grass. Very few people were as extravagant as him. He even used Spirit Concentrating Grass to grow Heart Rejuvenation Water.
He led the entire clay pot into the water dragon.
Currently, his strength was 9500 jin, which was the limit of the amount of water that a clay pot could contain.
"The pottery pot has the function of improving the quality of water, but the Yellow Grade Heart Nourishing Water should be able to produce a higher grade effect." Xu Zongyi thought to himself. He couldn't wait to go back and plant all of the Mourning Grass there.
"Brother Zong Yi, now that the items have been replaced, why don't you come to my Winter Court for a few days?" When Xu Lei saw that he had finished exchanging points, he invited him passionately.
"Thank you, brothers. I still have a lot of work to do at the Scripture Hall tomorrow. I need to go back tonight and quickly plant the ruminations in order to sell them at a good price." Xu Zongyi tactfully rejected.
"Alright, then let's work hard together and get together when we have time." Xu Yu did not forcefully stay.
Everyone knew that Xu Tianyi's background was humble, so he needed time to grow up. Everyone could see that Xu Tianyi was targeting him.
This caused the five brothers to be moved. One had to know that he wasn't as strong as Xu Zongyi. Someone stronger than him was fighting against time to let him grow. How could they stop?
"Alright, thank you. Farewell!" Xu Zongyi saluted and turned to leave.
He returned to the Scripture Hall as fast as he could.
However, he found that Xu Changping was sitting on the steps of his own bamboo house.
The Little War was trembling at his feet.
"Junior brother, you've really brought an unexpected guest." Xu Changping sighed.
"Senior apprentice-brother." Xu Zongyi was feeling extremely nervous.
"Don't worry, no one else knows about this. Considering that it's still young, if you want to keep it alive, you must first use some methods to control it." Xu Changping's tone was gentle.
Xu Zongyi let out a sigh of relief. After all, there were many documents that didn't give a good impression of this kind of disaster. He was afraid that if he brought this wolf into this room, he would be able to raise a beast with malicious intentions and bring about a catastrophe that he wouldn't be able to deal with for the rest of his life.
I'll extract a wisp of its soul and merge it with your soul so that you can detect every thought in its mind. Firstly, it's easier to control, and secondly, it can improve the mutual understanding between you two. Even though Xu Changping was his senior, he respected Xu Zongyi's opinion.
"That's for the best." Xu Zongyi nodded his head repeatedly. Indeed, he should have taken precautions. After all, this was a strange beast from ancient times, and he knew that if he controlled something that he couldn't control, it would only harm himself and others.
"Then I'll make my move." Xu Changping pointed his finger at Little Chou's forehead, causing him to feel a little lost.
The little calamity let out a painful wail. After all, if a strand of one's soul essence was extracted from one's body, it would cause quite a bit of pain.
Accompanying Xu Changping's finger, this wisp of his lifeblood soul entered the space between his eyebrows.
The moment they merged into one, the pain of the little calamity also came to an end.
"Howl …" Little Charmer rushed to his feet, looking miserable.
"Alright, just train hard." Xu Changping put his hands behind his back and walked off into the distance, a warm smile on his face.
Xu Zongyi bowed and sighed in his heart. It was great to have his own sect.
"You little fellow, I'll be able to know what you're going to do in the future." Xu Zongyi smiled as he tried to sense the soul of this little calamity. At the very least, it was still pure and only recognized him as its master.
That night, Xu Zongyi had turned into an officer shoveling feces.
He mixed the excrement of the little calamity with the ashes of the day and the water of the well.
He could not wait any longer, burying all 1,000 seeds into the ground and watering them with the water from the well beside him.
He wanted to let the Yellow Grade Heart-Nourishing Water transform in the jar for a while first. He wanted to not draw in his blood and assimilate it into the Heart Nourishing Water.
He didn't fall asleep until after he was busy with Chou Chou.
While Xu Zongyi was busy with his work, several of the leaders of the Xu family were all gathered in the Heavenly Heart Palace.
It seemed like something big was going to happen.
