619: Chapter 619, 6691 Contributions!

Those Genius Martial Artists with ordinary Aptitude, even if they Cultivate for a lifetime, will never touch the threshold of a Grandmaster.

The Grandmaster Realm is the watershed between a Genius and a Prodigy.

Therefore, the further one progresses in the Realms, the more difficult it becomes to fight above one's level.

Because everyone is a Prodigy or even a monster.

At lower Realms, you can easily challenge those at higher levels by relying on the advantages of Cultivation Techniques, Concepts, and spirit weapons.

But at higher Realms, your opponents also possess these advantages, and may even be stronger than you.

At that point, what matters is whose foundation is more solid, whose heritage is deeper, and whose methods are more diverse.

Qin Yan pulled back his thoughts; what he needed to do now was first improve his Alchemy level.

If his Alchemy reached the sixth rank, it could rapidly increase his Realm.

With Sixth-Rank Medicinal Pills, his Cultivation speed would increase significantly.

Furthermore, after reaching the Grandmaster Realm, Medicinal Pills would be even more indispensable.

Cultivation in the Grandmaster Realm requires Medicinal Pills of quantity and quality far exceeding the sixth rank.

Without Alchemy techniques to support him, he wouldn't be able to sustain that level of consumption at all.

Therefore, adding points to Alchemy was imperative.

Qin Yan picked up his long spear and continued his training.

Under the moonlight, his figure danced in the courtyard, the spear's shadow like a Dragon and the Spear Intent like a rainbow.

...

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

The date became March 15th.

The first ray of morning sunlight spilled into the courtyard, dispelling the night's chill.

Qin Yan finished his training and put away his long spear.

He invested all the Skill Points he had obtained into the Dao of Alchemy.

With the accumulation from these two days plus his previous progress, Qin Yan's Alchemy progress suddenly reached 28%. From 17% to 28%, it had increased by a full 11%.

In his mind, many more refining methods for Medicinal Pills suddenly appeared.

Those Pill Formulas, techniques, and heat control were all clearly imprinted in his mind.

Qin Yan looked at this Alchemy progress and gave a slight smile.

At this rate, in another 20 days, he would be able to Breakthrough to become a Sixth-Rank Alchemist.

At that time, he could refine Sixth-Rank Medicinal Pills himself and would no longer have to worry about resources.

Pulling his thoughts back, Qin Yan stood up and walked out of the City Lord's Manor.

Today was the day they were leaving the City Lord's Manor.

That beast tide was originally supposed to last for a good while.

According to past experience, a beast tide would last at least seven days to half a month.

But after the four Great Vicious Beasts had all fallen, this beast tide was also declared over.

And over these two days, the tasks for Qin Yan and the others were finally settled!

Zhao Qingyun's efficiency was high, and the Holy Land's review was also very fast.

In two days, all the killed Vicious Beasts were converted into taixuan points and deposited into their tokens.

Qin Yan opened his token and looked at the taixuan points he currently possessed.

[5,500 taixuan points]

5,500 points!

One must know that when he accepted the Qingyun City task, he only had 900 taixuan points left. Now, it had reached 5,600 points, an increase of a full 4,700 points!

This number was something even Qin Yan himself found hard to believe.

He checked it several times to confirm he hadn't misread it before believing it was real.

To think that 250 taixuan points were enough for him to exchange for a full 20 Sixth-Rank Medicinal Pills!

5,500 taixuan points would allow him to exchange for a full 440 Sixth-Rank Medicinal Pills!

If all these taixuan points were exchanged for five elements spirit pills, it would be enough to push his Realm to the Rank 6 Peak!

The Rank 6 Peak was a Realm that countless Martial Artists dreamed of.

Once reached, his combat power would leap again, and he would definitely be ranked among the strongest in the entire Taixuan Holy Land.

However, Qin Yan quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

With so many taixuan points, he would only use a portion to exchange for Sixth-Rank Spirit Pills.

After all, in a while, he would be able to Breakthrough to become a Sixth-Rank Alchemist.

At that time, he could refine pills entirely by himself and use his Skill Points elsewhere—such as the Spear Mountain in the Inner Court, the entrance rights to various Secret Realms in the Inner Court, or purchasing some rare spiritual materials.

These were all indispensable resources for his future Cultivation.

Those places were the real keys to improving his strength.

For example, the Spear Mountain in the Inner Court—there were various insights into Spear Intent there; first grade Spear Intent and second-grade Spear Intent could all possibly be found there.

For instance, the first grade Destruction Spear Intent he needed required comprehension in the Inner Court's Spear Mountain.

For example, the various Secret Realms of the Inner Court—it was said that the Inner Court also controlled many Secret Realms, which hid various Opportunities, rare Spirit Medicines, and even possible Profound Truths.

Entering those Secret Realms required consuming a large amount of taixuan points.

After all, with the contribution he had obtained now, entering the Inner Court could be considered a sure thing.

One could enter the Inner Court by being in the top 6,000 in individual points. His contribution was 6,691 points, which would definitely put him at the forefront of the 30,000 Disciples in the entire East Courtyard.

Therefore, he needed to prepare for life in the Inner Court.

As Qin Yan walked, he opened their team's contribution leaderboard.

[Qin Yan's Contribution: 6,691 points]

[Yin Li's Contribution: 5,103 points]

[Huang Jiuli's Contribution: 5,094 points]

[Lu Qingshan's Contribution: 2,101 points]

[Yun Qingge's Contribution: 2,000 points]

[Cumulative Contribution: 20,989 points]

6,691 contribution points!

After completing the task of wiping out the Seven Stars Sword Sect, his contribution was only 1,891 points, ranking third in the team, behind Yin Li and Huang Jiuli.

After completing the investigation task in Jumu City, his contribution reached 1,991 points, still ranking third.

And now, it had directly soared to 6,691 points!

His contribution had jumped from third in the team to first!

Moreover, he exceeded the second-place Yin Li by about 1,500 contribution points!

It was clear how massive Qin Yan's gains were in this battle.

Thinking of this, Qin Yan immediately checked the specific details of the contribution points he had earned.

[Killing the Crimson Flame Magic Lion in conjunction with the nine Formation Masters, rewarded with 2,000 contribution points.]

[Killing the Golden-Winged Thunder Peng in conjunction with Lin Ruoxi and others, rewarded with 600 contribution points.]

[Killing numerous Vicious Beasts, cumulatively obtained 2,100 contribution points.]

"I didn't expect that the most contribution points would actually come from killing numerous Vicious Beasts, obtaining 2,100 points."

Qin Yan was somewhat surprised.

"This is a bit beyond my expectations."

He had thought that the reward for killing the Great Vicious Beast Crimson Flame Magic Lion would be the highest.

After all, a Half-step Grandmaster Vicious Beast was countless times stronger than those ordinary Vicious Beasts.

But he hadn't expected that killing ordinary Vicious Beasts, which accumulated over time, could also earn so many contribution points.

"However, killing the Golden-Winged Thunder Peng only yielded 600 points; this is a bit low."

Qin Yan frowned.
