When Lu Yu appeared outside Tongtian Tower, he was already covered in blood, though it wasn't his own blood; it was the blood of the demons inside Tongtian Tower.

After sitting on the steps to rest for a while, Lu Yu finally had time to check his harvest. He exchanged all of his 2817 points into contribution points, currently possessing 3564 contribution points and 12020 experience points.

Points remain on the Identity Token; the ranking in Tongtian Tower is determined by points, and they will still be retained even after being exchanged into contribution points. However, only newly acquired points can be exchanged into contribution points.

Points are awarded upon reaching the summit, but only the first time. Subsequent attempts, even through repeated levels, will not earn additional points.

After reaching the seventh level, Lu Yu can choose to enter either the first level or the seventh level next time.

Lu Yu was not in a hurry to spend contribution points, as he wasn't sure what he wanted. For ice attribute treasures, he had already filtered out many suitable ones in the system's store over this period—he was just short of the funds to purchase them.

Returning to the bamboo cabin, he activated the room's cloud and rain array, took a shower, and changed clothes.

Lu Yu ventured again into the Southern Heaven Hall area, seeking the Southern Heaven Hall specialized in transactions.

The hundreds of Southern Heaven Halls are not solely used for the Divine Weapon Pavilion disciples to release tasks but serve many other purposes.

The Southern Heaven Hall offers a recycling service; Lu Yu quickly found an available appraiser and dumped the pile of spirit weapons and miscellaneous items he had obtained from the Fire Rain Mountain secret realm in front of the appraiser.

Seeing the jumbled pile in front, the young appraiser shook his head. He was also a disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, only holding the task of appraising items here.

Even though, in his eyes, these items were valueless, he still carefully appraised the value of each item.

After a while, the young appraiser said, "Those miscellaneous items are outside the recycling scope, you can sell them outside or to others. These weapons and materials are worth a total of 132 contribution points, with an appraisal fee of 10 contribution points."

Gathering up the items, Lu Yu took out the fire crystal stones and asked for an appraisal of their value.

Seeing the fire crystal stones that were piled so high they overflowed the table, the appraiser's eye twitched. He touched his cheek to hide his expression and then used spiritual power to perform a secret technique for quickly calculating quantity and spiritual qi intensity before arriving at a conclusion.

"They're worth a total of 842 contribution points. Many fire crystal stones aren't complete, and some have already lost spiritual qi, hence they're valued at this much contribution points."

"Over 80 thousand gold?" Lu Yu mused, it seemed that during the trial, the contribution points given purely catered to his status as a newcomer, as one fire crystal stone wasn't worth a single contribution point.

"How much is the appraisal fee?" Lu Yu asked.

"10 contribution points."

Lu Yu used his Identity Token to transfer 10 contribution points to him, then packed everything back into his backpack and headed outside.

"If these fire crystal stones are valued at roughly over 80 thousand gold, those spirit weapons and miscellaneous items should be worth more, as the Divine Weapon Pavilion would definitely undervalue them, offering a price much lower than outside. At least I should have 100 thousand gold," Lu Yu thought as he walked.

"I'm still a bit off from the goal!"

Fire Spirit Fruit is priced at 30 thousand points in the system store, equivalent to 3000 gold.

A single Fire Spirit Fruit can advance the Ice and Fire Seven Heavenly Cultivation Technique by 5%, so at least 20 equivalent ice attribute treasures are needed for the Ice Spirit Body transformation.

The Ice Spirit Body transformation process also requires extensive consumption of ice spiritual qi, and later during the Ice and Fire polar body transformation, a massive amount of resources is again consumed—although he now has close to 500 thousand gold, Lu Yu feels it's still not enough.

"Forget it, one step at a time," Lu Yu decided, back in his room, activating his Identity Token and returning to Beifeng City.

In Beifeng City, he searched for buyers to dispose of the items he had. The items not purchased by the Divine Weapon Pavilion were packaged and sold to a small general store for 100 gold—the shopkeeper was elated upon hearing the price.

Then, Lu Yu found several slightly larger shops and sold off the fire crystal stones, weapons, and materials, with the fire crystal stones fetching nearly 90 thousand gold, close to the appraiser's estimate.

The price of the materials didn't differ much, however, the price of the weapons had a significant variation potential. Lu Yu, unwilling to find buyers one by one, packaged all the weapons for a weapon shop, selling them for more than 30 thousand gold.

The difference in weapon pricing compared to the Divine Weapon Pavilion's appraiser was considerable. Lu Yu speculated the appraiser might have considered the recovered weapons as materials rather than weapons.

Treating items as materials as opposed to weapons naturally provides a significant difference in value.

Selling them for just over 30 thousand gold was rather cheap, to be honest, most were second-grade spirit weapons, and with a buyer, the price could easily double.

The shopkeeper wanted to leave after collecting the weapons, which reminded Lu Yu of the hexagonal short spike in his backpack. He took it out and placed it on the table, asking, "How much is this weapon worth?"

Seeing the hexagonal short spike on the table, the shopkeeper immediately turned around, carefully inspecting the weapon on the table, said after half a minute, "This is a third-grade spirit weapon produced by Divine Weapon Pavilion, its quality is superior to spirit weapons of the same grade."

"However, this is a hexagonal short spike, which has far fewer martial cultivators willing to use spikes, making it challenging to sell at an ideal price, and items from the Divine Weapon Pavilion are not really suitable for us to sell. It's inappropriate," the shopkeeper remarked, seemingly regretful.
