69: Chapter 69 Contribution Point System, Re-establishing Monthly Salary

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to harvest the spirit rice again.

This year was a festive one; the Li Family had gained two more Foundation Establishment Stage experts, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles.

The harvesting process was much faster, yet it still took nearly twenty days to complete.

When the System's wonderful voice reached his ears, Li Luochen was overjoyed.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host's Family. Through diligent farming, you have harvested 38,000 catties of 1st-tier top grade spirit rice, valued at 190,000 Spirit Stones. The 'Farming Reward' condition has been met. The 1st-tier top grade spirit rice critical hit was successful. You have obtained five bottles of Rank 2 Spirit Medicine Acceleration Liquid.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the host's Family. Through diligent farming, you have harvested 117,000 catties of Rank 1 High Grade spirit rice, valued at 117,000 Spirit Stones. The 'Farming Reward' condition has been met. The Rank 1 High Grade spirit rice critical hit was successful. You have obtained a complete set of Rank 2 Legacy for Alchemy, Smithing, Formations, and Talismans.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the host's Family. Through diligent farming, you have harvested 319,500 catties of rank 1 medium grade spirit rice, valued at 106,500 Spirit Stones. The 'Farming Reward' condition has been met. The rank 1 medium grade spirit rice critical hit was successful. You have obtained a large quantity of Rank 2 Five Elements Yin and Yang Materials.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the host's Family. Through diligent farming, you have harvested 912,000 catties of Rank 1 Low Grade spirit rice, valued at 91,200 Spirit Stones. The 'Farming Reward' condition has been met. The Rank 1 Low Grade spirit rice has been increased fivefold.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the host's Family. Through diligent farming, you have harvested 4,815,000 catties of ordinary spirit rice, valued at 48,150 Spirit Stones. The 'Farming Reward' condition has been met. The ordinary spirit rice critical hit was successful. You have obtained five Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Puppet Guards.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the host's Family. Through diligent farming, you have harvested a certain amount of straw, valued at some Spirit Stones. The 'Farming Reward' condition has been met. The straw critical hit was successful. You have obtained three drops of 3,000-year-old stalactite drip.”

Li Luochen was ecstatic; these were all excellent items.

Rank 2 Spirit Medicine Acceleration Liquid could increase the growth speed of Rank 2 Spirit Medicine by ten times. One bottle could accelerate the growth of a hundred acres of Spirit Medicine tenfold. Five bottles could accelerate five hundred acres of Rank 2 Spirit Medicine tenfold. He had made a huge profit.

A complete set of Rank 2 Legacy for Alchemy, Smithing, Formations, and Talismans; these were things that only many Golden Core Stage forces possessed. He hadn't expected to obtain them just like that.

It was just a pity that Li Luochen didn't plan to Cultivate them himself. The System rewards were already quite good, so he would leave these Legacies for his clansmen to Cultivate.

The Mid-Foundation Establishment guard Puppets were also good items. Although they couldn't go on expeditions for the Family, they could become the Family's guardian deities. As long as someone dared to trespass into the Family's territory, they would strike without hesitation.

As for the final 3,000-year-old stalactite drip, not only could it assist in Core Formation, but it could also quickly stabilize one's cultivation after breaking through to the Golden Core Stage. It was definitely a treasure.

This time, the System rewarded a large quantity of Rank 2 Yin and Yang Five Elements Materials. Li Luochen took a quick look; they could help the Secret Realm progress even further.

He wondered when he would be able to obtain a Rank 2 Spiritual Vein; it would be even better if he could get a Rank 3 Spiritual Vein.

After checking the System rewards, Li Luochen turned his gaze to the spirit rice harvested this year.

In total, they could harvest over 546,000 Low-Grade Immortal Stones. This was going to be a massive profit.

The annual Spirit Stone income of those weaker Golden Core Old Ancestors probably wasn't much more than this.

However, the Li Family's resources belonged to the Family; Li Luochen only needed the System rewards.

Currently, the number of Cultivators in the Li Family had reached fifty-nine. It was increasingly looking like a true cultivation Family.

Fifty-nine cultivation clansmen... Perhaps it was time to make some changes.

First, the Family contribution point System should be initiated. Second, the idea of household-based production responsibility should also be implemented.

As for the Li clansmen's annual stipends, they should be changed to monthly stipends from now on.

Taking advantage of the fact that the spirit rice had just been harvested and all the clansmen were present, Li Luochen brought everyone into the Council Hall on Hidden Dragon Island.

Li Luochen sat in the main seat with Zhou Xin beside him. Next were Li Yanzhong and the other four Foundation Establishment Stage clansmen, followed by the clansmen who hadn't reached Foundation Establishment, arranged by seniority.

The Council Hall on Hidden Dragon Island was not small; even with fifty-nine clansmen sitting inside, it didn't feel crowded.

Looking at the clansmen sitting below, Li Luochen nodded with satisfaction.

“Alright, since everyone is here, I will tell you about the upcoming plans.”

“Starting now, the Family will implement a contribution point System. Every Li clansman, except those under ten years old, must contract spirit fields every year.”

“Every year, based on the output of the spirit fields, the Family will reward you with different amounts of contribution points. Ten thousand catties of ordinary spirit rice equals one contribution point, and one thousand catties of Rank 1 Low Grade spirit rice equals one contribution point.”

“Three hundred catties of rank 1 medium grade spirit rice equals one contribution point, one hundred catties of Rank 1 High Grade spirit rice equals one contribution point, and twenty catties of 1st-tier top grade spirit rice equals one contribution point.”

“What are contribution points for? Good question. In the future, if clansmen want foundation establishment pills and essence spirit true liquid, they must use contribution points to exchange for them; Spirit Stones will not be accepted.”

“Not only can foundation establishment pills be exchanged, but golden core formation pills and essence condensing golden pills can be as well.”

“Rank 2 and 3 Five Elements Materials are also available, and even several-hundred-year-old or thousand-year-old Stalactite Milk can be exchanged.”

“I also have enlightenment tea here. As long as you have enough contribution points, you can exchange them with me.”

“Listen clearly: from now on, if Li clansmen want to reach Foundation Establishment or Core Formation, they must use contribution points to exchange for resources.”

“I know you certainly don't lack Spirit Stones to buy the cultivation resources you need, but contribution points can also be exchanged for many good things.”

“Work hard at farming for the Family and earn plenty of contribution points. I have many good things here waiting for you to exchange.”

“Yanzhong, Yanlong, you five remember to pay back the contribution points for the foundation establishment pills and essence spirit true liquid.”

Li Yanzhong quickly asked, “Patriarch, how many contribution points do we need to pay back?”

Li Luochen smiled and said, “According to market prices, the average price of a premium foundation establishment pill is 50,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, which is 500 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. So, you will pay 500 contribution points.”

“As for the essence spirit true liquid, it's worth 20,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, which is 200 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. You will pay 200 contribution points for that as well.”

“premium foundation establishment pills and essence spirit true liquid are hard to come by, so add another 200 contribution points as my service fee. For just 1,000 contribution points, you can obtain a premium Foundation Establishment set.”

“If you only need a premium foundation establishment pill, it's only 600 contribution points. If you think you're a Prodigy and don't need a foundation establishment pill, only needing essence spirit true liquid, it's only 300 contribution points.”

“As for what you need, that's up to you.”

“Alright, next, let's re-plan the annual stipends and change them to monthly stipends.”

“Before the age of ten, regardless of cultivation level, it's one Low-Grade Spirit Stone per month.”

“After the age of ten, Qi Refining Level 1 will also receive one Low-Grade Spirit Stone per month.”

“Qi Refining Layer 2 is two Low-Grade Spirit Stones per month, Qi Refining Level 3 is three, Qi Refining Level 4 is six, Qi Refining Stage 5 is nine, and Qi Refining Stage 6 is twelve.”

“Qi Refining Stage 7 is twenty Low-Grade Spirit Stones per month, Qi Refining Level 8 is thirty, Qi Refining 9th Layer is forty, and Qi Refining 10th Layer is sixty.”

“As for the Foundation Establishment Stage, Foundation Establishment Early Stage is one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone per month, Middle Stage is two, Foundation Establishment Late Stage is four, and Foundation Establishment Peak is six.”

“As for the Golden Core Stage, Golden Core Early Stage is ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones per month, Middle Stage is twenty, Late Stage is forty, and Golden Core Peak is sixty.”

“Let's leave it at that for now; we'll discuss future matters later.”
