The woman in the yellow dress sneered, "Shao Feng, he hasn't cultivated at all, and his martial arts foundation is extremely weak. The only reason he could kill those two Six-Legged Thunder Crocodiles was that he relied on his healing liquid to desperately withstand the lightning strikes. Besides that, he only has one move. Do you think he has the ability to save your friend from between two Thunder Crocodiles?"

"Junior Sister Wan'er, I didn't mean that..." Shao Feng frowned, as if to explain something.

The woman in the yellow dress waved her hand. "Shao Feng, just call me Qu Wan'er. You are from the Azurefall Gate, and I am from the Celestial Peak Hall. We aren't even from the same sect. Even so, I'll still say this as a friend: As a genius disciple of a large sect, you should be more broad-minded. In that respect, Senior Brother Hou Yucheng does much better than you."

Shao Feng's face turned somewhat unpleasant. "Don't compare me to that devil spawn."

The woman in the yellow dress didn't say anything more. Mo Wuji was about to step forward to thank the man surnamed Qin and the woman in the yellow dress when he heard shouts. He subconsciously turned his head to look, and the densely packed Thunder Crocodiles and Giant-Mouth Sea Demons had all retreated cleanly.

Only a wave of bloody scent and scattered corpses remained on the deck. Some were Six-Legged Thunder Crocodiles, and others were from the ship. The vast majority of the corpses were charred black from electrocution. However, only a few of the killed Thunder Crocodiles were killed from beneath their throat; most of them were simply cut in half.

Without asking, Mo Wuji knew that the majority of the Thunder Crocodiles were killed by the Immortal Masters.

"Wuji, are you alright?" As soon as the Thunder Crocodiles retreated, Yuan Zhenyi ran over. Before, he and Mo Wuji had been separated by the Thunder Crocodiles, and he could barely protect himself, making it difficult to help.

"I'm fine. What about Bu Er?" Mo Wuji asked with some concern.

"Wuji, Brother Zhenyi, I'm fine too." Ding Bu Er's voice rang out; he was also charred all over. It seemed he was lucky to survive.

"Thank you for your protection, two Immortal Masters." Seeing that Yuan Zhenyi and Ding Bu Er were both okay, Mo Wuji bowed to the Immortal Master surnamed Qin and the woman in the yellow dress in thanks.

The woman in the yellow dress nodded, but didn't speak.

The Immortal Master surnamed Qin stared at Mo Wuji for a long time before saying, "Your performance was good. You can apply for a private room."

Mo Wuji quickly said, "Thank you, Immortal Master. I'm fine in the dormitory."

Mo Wuji didn't even know how he had offended Shao Feng. Facing such a powerful person, he obviously had no ability to resist. If he lived in a single room, he would have no way to appeal if that bastard harmed him one day. Staying in the large dormitory, he guessed that Shao Feng wouldn't want the woman in the yellow dress to know that he was targeting him.

The Immortal Master surnamed Qin didn't say anything more, but continued to ask, "What about your spiritual roots?"

Mo Wuji had no choice but to say, "I was tested once. My spiritual roots are very weak, not much better than ordinary."

That was definitely him exaggerating. He had been tested not once, but twice. His spiritual roots weren't very weak or very poor; he simply didn't have any. He was just an ordinary person to the extreme.

Mo Wuji wasn't saying this to get the Immortal Master surnamed Qin to take a liking to him and bring him into the sect. Instead, he was afraid that after opening three meridians, he would develop spiritual roots. So he was leaving himself a way out.

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, a trace of disappointment flashed in the Immortal Master surnamed Qin's eyes. He shook his head and leaped away, instantly disappearing. With his perseverance, Mo Wuji was exactly the kind of good seedling suitable for cultivation. But even the best seedlings had to be able to cultivate. Since Mo Wuji didn't have spiritual roots and was just an ordinary person, his path could only end here.

A trace of regret also flashed in the eyes of the woman in the yellow dress, and then she quickly left as well. As expected, Shao Feng didn't continue to trouble Mo Wuji; instead, he quickly followed the woman in the yellow dress.

On the blood-covered deck, people had already begun to clean up the corpses. Mo Wuji roughly estimated that at least two thousand people had died this time.

So many people died in one attack. If it happened a few more times, he guessed that half of the people on the ship would die before reaching Changluo. Mo Wuji suddenly understood why private feuds weren't prohibited on the ship. Those who survived were naturally stronger, and they would play a greater role in future sea beast attacks. In other words, besides the Immortal Masters, everyone else could die at will.

"Wuji, you look seriously injured." After the three Immortal Masters left, Yuan Zhenyi spoke. He saw that Mo Wuji was covered in blood and almost entirely black from being struck by lightning, and thought Mo Wuji's injuries were very serious.

Mo Wuji knew that his injuries weren't serious, mainly thanks to the healing pill given by the Immortal Master surnamed Qin. He signaled to Yuan Zhenyi, "Zhenyi, let's go back and talk."

"Wait, are you Mo Wuji, staying in dormitory number thirty-two, from the Changyan Lord Country?" A man in brown robes stopped Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji looked at the approaching man in brown robes in surprise. He didn't recognize him at all. The man in brown robes was holding a ledger, seemingly comparing something.

"That's right, I am Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji replied, nodding in confusion.

The man in brown robes looked at the ledger and said with a smile, "That's right then. I'm from the Luo Hai Merchant Building. You killed two Six-Legged Thunder Crocodiles just now. I believe it's inconvenient for you to carry them around, so our merchant building would like to buy them. Do you want gold coins or contribution points from our merchant building?"

What did that mean? Did that mean whoever killed the Thunder Crocodile got to keep it? Didn't they belong to the Immortal Masters on the ship? Mo Wuji quickly realized that the Immortal Masters on the ship wouldn't care about these low-level Thunder Crocodiles.

"Wuji, you actually killed two Thunder Crocodiles just now?" Yuan Zhenyi also looked at Mo Wuji in surprise. He knew that Mo Wuji had some skill when he defeated the guard from the Yinhan Lord Country in one move. But even though he overestimated Mo Wuji, he never expected that Mo Wuji had killed two Six-Legged Thunder Crocodiles.

Mo Wuji nodded. "That's right. I did kill two Thunder Crocodiles just now."

After saying that, Mo Wuji looked at the man in brown robes and asked, "Big brother, what do you mean by contribution points from the Luo Hai Merchant Building?"

The man in brown robes quickly said, "Our Luo Hai Merchant Building's customers are divided into casual customers and regular customers. Regular customers are further divided into five levels, namely customers with orange, green, cyan, blue, and purple cards. These cards can accumulate contribution points. As long as you've purchased anything from our Luo Hai Merchant Building, you can apply for an orange card. After transactions reach a certain amount, you can upgrade to a green card. Since you killed two Thunder Crocodiles, we're willing to buy them for 20,000 gold coins. If you don't want gold coins, we can provide 200 Luo Hai Merchant Building contribution points."

20,000 gold coins was a lot of money for the average person. But for Mo Wuji, it really wasn't much. He immediately asked, "What are the contribution points from the Luo Hai Merchant Building used for?"

The man in brown robes said with a smile, "Contribution points from the Luo Hai Merchant Building can be exchanged for anything. As long as the Luo Hai Merchant Building has it, you can exchange for it. Cultivation methods, pills, even spiritual tools can be traded for…"

"I want contribution points!" Mo Wuji didn't even need the man in brown robes to finish. The moment he heard cultivation methods, he unhesitatingly chose contribution points.

After saying that, he asked with lingering interest, "How many contribution points does a cultivation method usually cost?"

The man in brown robes pondered for a moment and said, "It depends on the level. Ordinary cultivation methods only require a few thousand to ten thousand contribution points, while better cultivation methods can even require more than a million contribution points."

Mo Wuji sucked in a cold breath. He had risked his life to kill two Thunder Crocodiles, and only got 200 contribution points in exchange. Even exchanging for the worst cultivation method was almost an impossible task for him.

"Then how can I obtain contribution points from your esteemed merchant building?" Mo Wuji asked eagerly.

The man in brown robes replied, "There are many ways, such as giving the merchant building various spiritual herbs, ores, pills, completing merchant building tasks, etc. You can exchange all these for contribution points."
