Chapter 65 – Clever Tall Senior Brother
As the conversation grew more and more outrageous, Tall Senior Brother couldn't help but interject:
"Have you all forgotten? If someone possesses ten Xuantian Tokens, the sect will reward them with an additional spiritual artifact."
With this reminder, everyone suddenly realized.
Although the sect had set up this reward, the older disciples knew that no one had ever been able to claim it.
This event only distributed a little over a hundred tokens in total, while every year, at least ten thousand disciples participated.
On average, each person only had a one percent chance of finding a token!
Let alone one person finding ten Xuantian Tokens, even if you had a group helping you search, it would still be difficult to gather ten tokens.
Because this task was nearly impossible to complete.
Over time, everyone had forgotten about this reward.
Until Tall Senior Brother's reminder, everyone understood why Qin Yu dared to sell ten tokens for the high price of 2000 Contribution Points.
The extra 1000 Contribution Points were equivalent to buying a spiritual artifact.
Zhou Shuhai walked up to Qin Yu's stall, took out his identity token, and said decisively:
"I'll buy one!"
'Are all alchemists this wealthy?' Qin Yu thought to himself.
At first, he was worried that the 2000 Contribution Points price was too high and no one could afford it.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yu had underestimated everyone's financial resources.
'Next time, I can sell things for even more!'
Qin Yu took out his identity token, which was also wrapped in black cloth.
With a gentle touch of the tokens, Qin Yu's identity token gained two thousand Contribution Points.
The transaction was complete!
Zhou Shuhai picked up the ten tokens and left without looking back.
After Zhou Shuhai left, the crowd began to discuss.
"What level is the spiritual artifact rewarded by the sect, is it worth a thousand Contribution Points?"
Spiritual artifacts are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, with each level further divided into lower, middle, and upper grades.
"Zhou Shuhai is making a big gamble here!"
"A thousand Contribution Points can buy a top-grade Yellow-level artifact. If the sect rewards a middle or lower-grade Yellow-level Spirit Treasure, he'll suffer a big loss!"
Someone analyzed, "I think the sect's rewarded artifact won't be too bad, at least a top-grade Yellow-level, most likely a Profound-level artifact, so I feel spending 2000 Contribution Points to buy ten Xuantian Tokens is a sure win!"
"Then hurry up and buy it!"
"Are you kidding? Where would I get 2000 Contribution Points?"
"We can lend you some!"
"Even so, I won't buy it. What if I lose?"
Everyone: "......"
While everyone was watching the excitement, Tall Senior Brother frowned in thought.
'As that person just said, the reward given by the sect surely won't be too bad.'
'Moreover, the task of one person possessing ten Xuantian Tokens is extremely difficult, and usually, the harder the task, the richer the reward.'
'The sect will most likely reward a Profound-level artifact,' Tall Senior Brother calculated in his mind.
'Even the worst Profound-level artifact sells for around 2000 Contribution Points.'

'The guild has nearly a hundred people, if everyone contributes 20 Contribution Points, we can buy ten Xuantian Tokens.'
'If the sect rewards a lower-grade Profound-level artifact, it can at least be sold for 2000 Contribution Points, netting a pure profit of 1000 Contribution Points, a 50% profit margin.'
'Although there is some risk, with such high profits, it's worth a try!'
Tall Senior Brother immediately made up his mind.
Finding tokens doesn't earn as much as buying them!
Tall Senior Brother hurriedly squeezed to the front of the line.
"How many tokens are left?"
Qin Yu: "Just the last ten!"
Tall Senior Brother: "Can you hold them for me? I'll go back and gather the money."
Qin Yu politely replied, "I can't."
"But you can reserve them. If there are more tokens in the future, you'll have priority to purchase."
After all, they were all acquaintances, and Qin Yu wanted to take care of them.
"Okay!" Tall Senior Brother was delighted, "How do I reserve?"
"Pay ten Contribution Points as a deposit. If we no longer sell Xuantian Tokens in the future, the ten Contribution Points will be refunded in full. If we continue to sell Xuantian Tokens and you choose not to purchase, the ten Contribution Points will not be refunded."
"Don't pay, be careful it's a scam!" someone hurriedly warned.
"Exactly, look how he's wrapped up so tightly. Even if he stops selling, you won't be able to find him!"
Tall Senior Brother scoffed at this.
'Would a large organization casually selling 20 Xuantian Tokens care about your ten Contribution Points?'
Tall Senior Brother decisively paid.
"The next sale is five days later at midnight, still in this location."
Tall Senior Brother nodded, "Got it!"
Tall Senior Brother hurriedly left, seemingly to gather money.
If he managed to gather the money and Qin Yu's ten Xuantian Tokens hadn't been sold yet, he wouldn't need to wait five days.
But unfortunately, just as Tall Senior Brother left, two people hurriedly arrived.
One immediately bought the Xuantian Tokens in full, while the other paid a ten Contribution Point deposit.
Qin Yu's stall sold out in less than an hour.
"Closing up!"
Qin Yu quickly left with Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi.
......
By noon!
Elder Wang Yingjun, who was in charge of this event, slumped in his chair, frowning.
He looked as if he was questioning his life.
"Why am I so unlucky! This event hasn't seen token trading in hundreds of years, and it just had to happen this year under my watch!"
"Why does it feel like someone is always targeting me!"
