Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Destiny-Chapter 379: Supreme Wanxiang Card

Just like what Captain Su said, earning enough Merit Points is the only way to advance one’s citizenship status. Even comprehending advanced Heavenly Destiny, or being a direct disciple of Buddhist Sect or Soul Division won’t help you get anywhere without Merit Points.

It seems that, in Tianli City, Merit Points are the foundation of everything. The system is fair and impartial, and no one can take advantage of any special privileges.

Of course, these are just the official regulations. In reality, Merit Points may well be traded under the table; as long as you find the right channels and have sufficient wealth, obtaining citizenship is a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan glanced towards the directory for citizens’ contribution registration.

Tier-5 Citizens: 1 Contribution Value.

Tier-4 Citizens: 10 Contribution Values.

...

Tier-3 Citizens: 100 Contribution Values.

Tier-2 Citizens: 1,000 Contribution Values.

Tier-1 Citizens: 10,000 Contribution Values.

Each citizenship tier is exactly ten times the previous tier.

Just this alone shows that the difficulty of advancing is indeed not small.

Continuing to read further, he quickly found the criteria for earning Contribution Values.

Destroying a hundred bandit strongholds, slaying three Galaxy 6-dan leaders, will earn you 1 Contribution Value.

Purchasing a mansion, being the master on the property deed, will earn you 1 Contribution Value.

Contributing 2,000 Destiny Plates in taxes each year will earn you 1 Contribution Value next year.

Investing over 50,000 Destiny Plates, with funds in place, will earn you 1 Contribution Value…

The list was exhaustive, comprising countless entries, covering various areas such as economy, education, healthcare, cultivation, culture, and so forth.

Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but be amazed.

Not to mention the others, just the first criteria—the destruction of a hundred bandit strongholds, slaying three Galaxy 6-dan leaders—is enough to deter countless people.

Since they are bandit strongholds and brigands, they must have experienced numerous sieges. Leaving aside whether their hideouts can be found, even if found, a stronghold of over a hundred people with at least three Galaxy 6-dan experts, armed with countless celestial treasures and formations—if one doesn’t have the might of Galaxy 7-dan, even 8-dan, it’s impossible to accomplish!

Even for someone with his strength, it would not be easy to achieve.

It seems that buying a house is indeed the simplest and easiest way to obtain citizenship.

Of course, the premise is that you have enough Destiny Plates. After all, even the smallest houses cost 5,000—not to mention ordinary people, but even large families from the Zhou Yi Dynasty, or figures like Elder Bai Ye and Shi Yunjing would find it hard to come up with that amount in one go, let alone others.

He quickly finished reading the contents above.

Zhang Xuan felt somewhat helpless.

The tombstone listed hundreds of ways to earn Merit Points, but each and every one would take a long time to accomplish, not something that can be done overnight.

That is to say, making money in Tianli City is certainly much easier than in Zouyi City, but the challenge is definitely greater.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan looked again at Su Mingchen and bowed with cupped fists: “Captain Su, I’d like to ask how to purchase a house, what sizes are available, and their corresponding prices. Is there a more detailed catalog?”

“Right this way!”

Su Mingchen generously took the lead and walked ahead. Moments later, they arrived at another hall, pointing ahead, “The tombstone over there lists the housing types, specific locations, and prices. If you wish to make a purchase, just select a property and pay with Destiny Plates!”

Zhang Xuan looked over and indeed saw a tombstone similar in size to the previous one, with types and locations listed.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

On the outermost layer, equivalent to the Sixth Ring, a small 100 square meter house would cost about 10,000 Destiny Plates.

For a mansion with a small courtyard suitable for practice, the smallest would be at least 100,000 Destiny Plates as a starting price.

100,000 Destiny Plates, that’s a billion Heavenly Mandate Qi… Indeed, the prices in Tianli City are terrifying.

Notably, this was only in the Sixth Ring. As locations came closer to the Inner City, the prices got even higher; a small house in the Inner City of only a few dozen square meters might require hundreds of thousands of Destiny Plates, and a luxurious mansion could even reach tens of millions of Destiny Plates, or even more.

Having obtained several billion Heavenly Mandate Vitality in Zhilan Valley, I thought I was at least something of a rich man, but it now seems that I’m still a pauper compared to the so-called “wealthy families.”

“I can’t afford it, can’t afford it…”

With a bitter smile, Zhang Xuan looked towards Empyrean Kong shi, only to see him shaking his head as well, clearly taken aback by the prices.

“Esteemed monk, I wish to purchase a house, do you have any recommendations?”

Just as both were filled with helplessness, a faint voice came over. Zhang Xuan looked up and immediately saw a monk dressed in a kasaya, standing quietly not too far away, calmly looking at the young lady responsible for selling houses.

“Is this… someone from the Buddhist Sect?”

Zhang Xuan wondered.

This was the first time he had encountered a monk since his transmigration.

“Yes, the home of the Buddhist Sect is Lingjiu Mountain, not far from here. Buddha Shi Jia is a Tier 2 Fate Controller, with unfathomable cultivation, one of the pinnacle figures on the mainland…”

Captain Su explained.

Zhang Xuan nodded and continued to look forward.

This monk’s cultivation level wasn’t much different from his own, only at Galaxy 6-dan. He wasn’t particularly impressive within the Buddhist Sect, so it was uncertain what kind of property he could afford.

“If the master wishes to purchase, here is a 200 square meter residence, which is usually very quiet…”

The receptionist girl hurriedly introduced a property type.

The monk looked for a while, then shook his head: “This humble monk seeks a small courtyard, suitable for morning and evening prayers… and I prefer a location closer to the Inner City. The place you pointed out just now is a bit too remote…”

“Alright, master… Let me recommend another for you!”

The receptionist girl was taken aback, and immediately her eyes shone with excitement.

She presumed that the customer didn’t have much money and could only buy a smaller property. Now it seemed she had misjudged.

The higher the price of the house sold, the higher her commission naturally.

Soon, the monk selected a dwelling, a small courtyard with an entrance and an exit, covering about an acre. As for the price, it reached 800,000 Destiny Plates, which is over 80 billion Heavenly Mandate Vitality.

At such a price, not even selling Zhang Xuan ten times over would suffice to afford it…

“This is good, this humble monk will take it!”

While Zhang Xuan was still reflecting, the monk nodded in satisfaction and handed over a jade token-like card.

The card was golden yellow, emitting a dazzling noble aura.

“It’s actually a Supreme Wanxiang Card! No wonder…”

Pupils constricted, Captain Su showed a look of realization.

Previously, he thought it was somewhat unbelievable for a monk to buy such a lavish property; now, he understood.

“Wanxiang Card?” Zhang Xuan looked over in confusion.

“Yes!”

Captain Su nodded, “This is a card issued by our Wanxiang Sect, with many tiers. For ordinary cultivators, getting a Level 1 card is quite good. As for the Supreme Card… I’ve never even seen one! This level of card, even if it has no money in it, just the card itself allows you to stay for free in a residence with a courtyard for more than half a year…”
