Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Storing Immortal Medicine_1

This was a special military satellite phone, quite different from ordinary mobile phones. Qian Zongsheng, fearing that Xu Fan might not be familiar with its use, introduced many of its features to him.

The Flame Dragon phone’s unlocking mechanisms were either through the pupil iris or fingerprint touch, except the fingerprint touch area was set on the phone screen.

Following the instructions, Xu Fan pressed the power button and the screen lit up immediately, displaying a dull black that rapidly flickered through various English letters, creating a high-end, classy visual experience, while the center of the screen subtly showed an area for fingerprint pressing.

Xu Fan’s fingerprint had not been entered yet, so he chose iris unlock instead, looking towards the front-facing camera on the top of the phone screen. In less than 0.1 seconds, the unlock was successful—remarkably fast recognition.

Looking at the phone’s desktop, it even had many common APPs found in the market. The only difference was along with the call and message icons at the bottom of the screen, there was an unfamiliar APP inscribed with “Flame Dragon,” evidently the Flame Dragon’s proprietary APP.

Xu Fan tapped it directly and entered the APP’s login interface, free of annoying ads! He quickly entered his account and password and officially entered the APP.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The interface of the Flame Dragon APP wasn’t much different either, structured just like a typical chat APP, only much simpler, divided into four main sections: Communication, Forum, Treasury, and Tasks.

After logging in, the default display was the Communication interface, divided into Chat and Friends subcategories, with a circular avatar frame in the upper right corner of the interface, which would show Xu Fan’s personal information when clicked.

At this moment, Xu Fan was looking at his own information:

Name: Xu Fan

Position: Wilderness-grade Protector (Under Review)

Merit Points: 1000

Current Task: None

Completed Tasks: None

Mobile Number: Not bound

Inviter: Qian Zongsheng

Xu Fan looked in surprise at the 1000 Merit Points…

Qian Zongsheng explained with a smile that every member who joined the Flame Dragon Organization was gifted a certain number of Merit Points, but the amount corresponded to the level of the position.

Xu Fan was a Wilderness-grade Protector, and the system granted him 1000 Merit Points. If Xu Fan had joined in the role of a Chief Steward, he would have been awarded 10000 Merit Points.

Merit Points could be understood as virtual currency, only its use was limited to within the Flame Dragon APP.

The way to obtain Merit Points was through completing tasks for rewards, or by making transactions with other members of the organization. The greatest use of Merit Points was to purchase various items with fixed prices from the Flame Dragon Treasury, be it Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, weapons and equipment, or Spiritual Medicine and gems, etc.

In short, this was akin to Money in the real world—the more, the better.

After understanding, Xu Fan couldn’t help but feel a tinge of regret. If he had waited a bit longer, until he was in the later stage of Qi Drawing before joining the Flame Dragon, wouldn’t the Merit Points gifted be ten times what they were now?

Upon further thought, it really felt like a significant loss.

After seeing that Xu Fan was familiar with it, Qian Zongsheng added him as a friend, and then left.

Capturing Hailong this time could be considered an auspicious start, and he was very much looking forward to what they could extract from the interrogation.

Not having anything else to do, Xu Fan continued to explore the Flame Dragon APP, first checking out the forum. After looking through a few minutes of posts that didn’t pique his interest, he then turned his attention to the tasks section, where there were various tasks published by the system, which he could actively accept, submit, and so on.

Since Xu Fan’s identity was still under review, the entire task section was blocked. It made sense, as the tasks were of great importance; a leak could lead to severe consequences.

Xu Fan had no choice but to enter the treasury section, his initial reason for joining the Flame Dragon Organization, just like disciples from the Ancient Martial World, was precisely for the treasury.

It must be said, the interface of the treasury resembled a common shopping app, displaying the names, prices, images, and brief information of various items… The main display consisted mostly of items worth a few hundred Merit Points, all common medicinal stones and low-tier cultivation techniques, which Xu Fan didn’t even consider worth his attention.

Xu Fan, undeterred, searched for the Star-Spotted Blue Light Grass, but couldn’t find it.

He then clicked on the medicinal materials section, most of which were also very common herbs, of little value. After some thought, he chose to sort the prices from high to low.

This took him by surprise.

The most expensive medicinal material was actually priced at a million Merit Points.

This sum was somewhat colossal, and he could only look on for the time being, feeling in an instant that the Merit Points he had been gifted were far too few.

Curiously, he clicked on the medicinal material requiring the most Merit Points and saw an image that resembled a purple ginseng.

Purple Qi Canglong Ginseng: A fairy-grade medicine, grown alone for over three thousand years on the dragon veins of Yan Country. If a Martial King consumes it, they could directly advance to the Heavenly Venerable Realm and cause their Inner True Qi to possess the might of the Canglong, significantly increasing their attacking power.

After reading this, Xu Fan couldn’t recognize this medicinal herb at all.

However, he wasn’t surprised. After all, there were countless species in the world, and even in the Cultivation World, he might not be able to recognize all the spiritual and fairy-grade medicines. Now that he had just arrived on Sea Blue Star, the species here greatly differed from those in the Cultivation World; not recognizing them was within reason.

This Purple Qi Canglong Ginseng must be a unique medicinal herb of Yan Country, he wondered how many of them there were, and whether someone had consumed it before to know its specific effects.

But the Merit Points required were such that most internal members of the Flame Dragon Organization could struggle for a lifetime and still not afford it.

There was no helping it.

After all, enabling a Martial King to leap into the Heavenly Venerable Realm was like helping someone in the later stages of Qi Drawing break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. It was comparable to his Blood Qilin Pill and perhaps even surpassed it.

After all, a mere herb equivalent to the effects of an elixir was truly remarkable. Labeling it as a fairy-grade medicine could seem excessive, but in a place like Sea Blue Star, where Spiritual Energy was severely scarce, bestowing such a title wasn’t really something to complain about.

Piqued by interest, Xu Fan very much wanted to acquire one to study and analyze. If he could understand its medicinal properties, perhaps he could use it to refine mid to high-tier elixirs.

Of course, that was just a thought for now. At present, he didn’t need such a thing, especially since refining the Blood Qilin Pill would allow him to successfully establish his foundation.

And most importantly, he was a long way from being able to afford the Purple Qi Canglong Ginseng with his Merit Points.

Afterward, he turned his attention to other medicinal materials. The second-ranked item was called Yun Soul Bamboo, claimed to be one of the world’s three divine woods. If carried at all times, it could constantly nourish the owner’s soul and, over time, could even give ordinary people divine perception, allowing martial artists above the Qi Drawing Realm to develop Divine Sense and continuously strengthen it.

The most incredible thing was that it could house a soul, allowing a disembodied soul to reside within the Yun Soul Bamboo, remaining cohesive without dispersing and maintaining its intelligence from life.

And its Merit Points were just slightly less than those for the Purple Qi Canglong Ginseng.

After seeing this, Xu Fan sighed. This Yun Soul Bamboo was a true divine object.

It was a pity that the cultivation system on Sea Blue Star was too backward, limiting its potential, so that they couldn’t realize the true uses of the Yun Soul Bamboo.

In fact, even in the Cultivation World, such bamboo was a precious immortal material. If it were discovered, it would inevitably prompt a struggle among various cultivation forces and could even lead to a major conflict.

This was because, aside from the aforementioned effects, the most crucial use of the Yun Soul Bamboo was in the creation of a Life-bound Avatar.
