It had been five years since Meng Guan joined the Thick Earth Sect.

As a Foundation Establishment Master, Meng Guan received an annual salary of three thousand spirit stones, making a total of fifteen thousand spirit stones in five years.

Foundation Establishment Masters were unlike outer disciples.

Foundation Establishment Masters only had annual salaries and none of the other items used to increase their cultivation.

For example, elixirs, Crumbled Jade Powder, and so on were exclusive to outer disciples.

Therefore, if one wanted to obtain high-quality artifacts, skills, elixirs and so on, they could only buy them with their annual salary.

Alternatively, they could take on external affairs and exchange them with contribution points.

Meng Guan, as a Foundation Establishment Master, had spent a total of several thousand spirit stones in these five years.

He had recently bought a high-quality defensive artifact, costing more than nine thousand spirit stones.

In short, Meng Guan had spent all of his five-year annual salary.

Now, facing Wei Fan who will start his foundation building in two years and has no Foundation Establishment Elixir reserves. Menc Guan was financiallv embarrassed at this moment.

Even if he took on external affairs for two years and used all the spirit stones earned in two years to exchange for contribution points, he would only get eighty contribution points in two years, still short of twenty points.

According to the exchange rate of one contribution point per one hundred and fifty spirit stones,

There was still a shortage of about three thousand spirit stones.

On the side,

Wei Fan, who was unaware of all this, was overjoyed when he heard Meng Guan’s words.

Regardless of his serious injuries,

He hastily stood up and bowed deeply to Meng Guan and He Song.

He then requested help,

“Although I don’t have many spirit stones left on me, I still have two years left to save up.”

“I don’t know if it’s enough or not. If it’s not enough, please help me, my two friends. I don’t want to miss this last opportunity to establish my foundation.”

“If I really can establish my foundation successfully, I will never forget your great kindness.”

“Even if I fail to establish my foundation, I will do my best to return these spirit stones as soon as possible.”

Wei Fan beseeched Meng Guan and He Song with a determined look on his face.

Today,

He had already wasted a Foundation Establishment Elixir and a chance to establish his foundation.

If he could not get another Foundation Establishment Elixir in the next two years, his chances of establishing his foundation would become extremely slim.

In such a situation, asking his two good friends for help was not something too hard to accept.

After all, Meng Guan had started asking for help like this five years ago.

In their small circle of three, when someone was in trouble, the other two would help as long as it did not affect themselves.

Just like when he helped He Song and escorted Meng Guan and lent spirit stones to Meng Guan to help him buy the Vein Protection Elixir.

However,

He used to be in the position of helping others before.

Now that he was asking for help himself, he was naturally a little nervous.

“Brother Wei, there is no need to be like this; let’s first listen to how much spirit stones are missing and try to gather them. We should be able to gather enough,” He Song comforted him while Meng Guan looked at each other and helped him up together.

As for Wei Fan,

Both Meng Guan and He Song had considerable goodwill towards him.

That’s because both of them had received Wei Fan’s kindness before, and those kindnesses were not small.

He Song had encountered the Immortal Pavilion catastrophe during his Qi Refining Early Stage, and if not for Wei Fan’s protection, he wouldn’t have survived.

Furthermore, He had requested Wei Fan to boldly kill Chen Zhou, eliminating a major threat.

Meng Guan, when in his Qi Refining Mid Stage, had requested Wei Fan to escort him to the Green Wall Immortal City to buy Breakthrough Elixir, which helped him break through to the Qi Refining Late Stage.

Later, he personally asked Wei Fan and He Song to lend him spirit stones to buy the Vein Protection Elixir.

Under such circumstances,

Even if it’s just to return the favor, both of them would be willing to help.

Moreover, their small circle of three had a tradition of helping each other.

Now that Wei Fan had asked for help, the other two naturally wouldn’t refuse.

“You both might not know, but in the sect’s external affairs, Qi Refining disciples can get five contribution points and five hundred spirit stones in annual salary per year, while Foundation Establishment elders can get twenty contribution points and a three thousand spirit stone annual salary.”

“One hundred contribution points can be exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Elixir in the sect’s treasure house.”

“At the same time, one hundred and fifty spirit stones can be exchanged for one contribution point.”

“In this calculation, I can get eighty contribution points after two years of external affairs and two years of annual salary.”

“In this way, I still lack twenty contribution points, which is equivalent to three thousand spirit stones.”

Seeing He Song comforting Wei Fan, Meng Guan also took the opportunity to speak about this matter after both of them sat down.

The cost of exchanging for the Foundation Establishment Elixir should naturally be borne by him, the Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Even though this would slow down his cultivation progress in the Foundation Establishment Realm and he wouldn’t be able to do anything else for two years.

But since Wei Fan asked for help, he naturally wanted to give him a hand.

Wei Fan had already failed once and gained experience in building his foundation.

If he succeeded next time, it would also be of great benefit to him.

Two years’ time was worth the effort.

“Over the years, I used most of my annual salary to purchase elixirs for cultivation, and now I only have a little over three hundred spirit stones left”

“However, for the next two years, I can save my annual salary, which will amount to one thousand three hundred spirit stones.” Meanwhile, Wei Fan calculated the spirit stones he had on hand.

After finishing the calculation and informing the two of them.

Meng Guan and Wei Fan’s gazes turned to He Song.

They were short of three thousand spirit stones.

Wei Fan had already made up one thousand three hundred of them.

It was down to He Song.

He only needed to come up with one thousand seven hundred spirit stones, and this matter would be settled.

They just needed to wait two years, and Meng Guan would be able to exchange a Foundation Establishment Elixir from the sect’s treasure house for Wei Fan to try again.

Facing the gazes of the two, He Song gave a slight smile.

“If this is settled, I will use my annual salary for the next three years to buy gifts to personally thank Master Qingy Yue and her two disciples.” “For the past two years, I haven’t been using my salary.”

“Now, I still have over a thousand spirit stones.”

“There are still two years left, and in these two years, I can save another thousand spirit stones.”

“So, I have over two thousand spirit stones in hand.”

“Adding them all together, it shouldn’t be difficult to buy a Foundation Establishment Elixir.”

He Song’s words were both true and false.

The truth was that he indeed spent one thousand five hundred spirit stones to buy gifts and personally thanked Master Qingy Yue and her two disciples. The falsehood was that he currently had over ten thousand spirit stones on nana.

However, the source of so many spirit stones was indeed a problem.

That was the reason behind He Song’s half-truths.

In front of his good friends, it would be better to control his wealth to just enough to be helpful.

In this way, he could conceal his true self, help his friends, and not expose the source of the large number of spirit stones he possessed.

If Wei Fan managed to establish his foundation successfully in two years, he would probably remember the favor He Song did for him.

By just lending out a little over a thousand spirit stones and having such a great return, it was simply perfect.

On the side.

After hearing He Song’s words, the two of them visibly relaxed.

Then, the three of them looked at each other and laughed, smiles appearing on their faces.

“Alright, since it’s settled, Wei, you just focus on healing. I’ll go take on some external tasks.”

“See you in two years!”

After sitting for a while, Meng Guan took his leave first.

He Song naturally followed suit and left Wei Fan’s courtyard.

When he returned to his own courtyard,

He Song sat cross-legged on the cushion, his thoughts racing a million miles away.

“One Foundation Establishment Elixir for fifteen thousand spirit stones, huh? If I open up more spirit fields… This number of spirit stones should be achievable.”

“Even with six Foundation Establishment Elixirs, there’s still a chance.’

Recalling Meng Guan’s previous words about the price of exchanging Foundation Establishment Elixirs from the sect treasure house, He Song’s thoughts raced in his mind.

He Song currently had only one spirit field, producing three thousand spirit stones annually.

To use spirit stones to exchange for one hundred contribution points, and then use these one hundred contribution points to exchange for a Foundation

Establishment Elixir ,

He would need a total of fifteen thousand spirit stones.

That is to say, one Foundation Establishment Elixir would take five years for He Song to save up.

The time seemed a bit long.

But if He Song had multiple spirit fields….
