It was rumored that Shui Ruo'er had also come to the Task Hall. She said, "Oh! So, Junior Sister is heading to the Exchange Hall as well? I'm planning to exchange for some Spiritual Objects."

"Ah, that's quite a coincidence! How about we go together?" Shui Ruo'er's round face flushed with excitement as she suggested.

"Sure, let's go!"

When the two of them arrived at the Exchange Hall, they found that the entire sect was deserted, except for the bustling Exchange Hall.

Currently, there were many combat missions available, and anyone who survived could earn a substantial number of contribution points.

At present, the war with the Demon Clan was far from over, so everyone was eager to convert their contribution points into personal power to increase their chances of survival.

Upon entering the hall, they joined the queue behind the crowd.

"Wang Senior Brother, I heard that you went to the first defense line last time, and when the first defense line was breached, I asked many fellow disciples, but no one had news of you. It wasn't until Senior Brother Qi Shaoqing returned that I learned you were safe," Shui Ruo'er spoke calmly, but Wang Hong could sense the concern in her voice, and he felt touched.

"Thank you, Junior Sister! I won't talk too much about my own matters. Where are you going to be stationed this time?" Wang Hong changed the topic.

"I'm going to the east of the third defense line this time. I don't know when I'll be back."

The two of them continued chatting, and soon it was Shui Ruo'er's turn.

"What items would you like to exchange?" The disciple in charge of the exchange was a thin Foundation Building Disciple, who asked Shui Ruo'er.

"I'd like to exchange for some second-tier Spirit Wine and Healing Pills," Shui Ruo'er stepped forward and said.

"We've run out of second-tier Spirit Wine a while ago. As for Healing Pills, we only have Blood-Replenishing Pills left. Would you like those?"

This disciple had answered the same question numerous times in recent days, as almost everyone who came to exchange wanted one of these two items. As a result, his tone sounded mechanical.

Most of the second-tier Spirit Wine had been sent to the front lines, and the Blood-Replenishing Pills were just a common healing medicine. They could only treat minor injuries that weren't life-threatening and were essentially ineffective for severe, life-threatening injuries.

As a result, these Pills seemed somewhat redundant. If it was a minor injury that wouldn't be fatal, why waste Spirit Stones on them? When facing genuinely life-threatening injuries, they were of little use.

After thinking for a moment, Shui Ruo'er decided it was better to have them than not. She said, "Then I'll take ten Blood-Replenishing Pills."

"Alright, ten Blood-Replenishing Pills, that's a total of one hundred contribution points."

The thin disciple took Shui Ruo'er's token, deducted one hundred contribution points, and handed her a bottle of Pills.

"Wang Senior Brother, it's your turn now!" After receiving the Pills, Shui Ruo'er didn't immediately leave but stood to the side, waiting for Wang Hong.

"I'd like to exchange for some refining materials," Wang Hong stepped forward and said.

After waiting in line for a while, he noticed that most people were exchanging for Spirit Wine, Pills, or, at the very least, Spiritual Weapons. Those exchanging for refining materials were in the minority at this point.

"Here are all the refining materials. You can look for them yourself." The thin disciple eyed Wang Hong curiously for a moment before allowing him to choose.

Wang Hong found over twenty different items he needed on the list of exchangeable materials. After exchanging for these materials, he had depleted all the contribution points he had accumulated over the years. It seemed he would need to take on more tasks to earn more contribution points to exchange for books at the Scripture Tower.

Shui Ruo'er waited for Wang Hong, and then the two of them left the Exchange Hall together.

"Wang Senior Brother, after this, who knows if we'll ever see each other again," Shui Ruo'er said with a touch of sadness. Given the current situation, no one could guarantee their safe return.

Today's parting might be a farewell forever.

"Junior Sister, take care on your journey. I'm sure you'll make it back safely!" Wang Hong said, handing Shui Ruo'er a Storage Bag. "I have some things to give you that might come in handy."

"Wang Senior Brother! I..." Shui Ruo'er wanted to say more, but Wang Hong interrupted, "Stay safe!"

With that, he turned and quickly walked away.

Shui Ruo'er stood there, clutching the Storage Bag tightly in her hands, lost in thought.

After a while, she finally opened the Storage Bag. To her, the items Wang Hong had given her held more significance than their actual value. Even if the bag had contained just a simple stone, she would have considered it extraordinary.

However, when she saw the contents of the Storage Bag, her face lit up with surprise and joy, shining like a Three Yang Melon Seeds flower basking in the sun.

Inside were five bottles of second-tier Spirit Wine and a pill bottle labeled "Hanyu Pill," with a piece of paper attached explaining its uses.

She had tried to exchange for these two items at the Exchange Hall but couldn't get them. She hadn't expected Wang Senior Brother to give them to her directly.

She took the pill bottle in her hand, opened it, and found ten pills inside. She had never seen this type of pill before and didn't know its effects.

After leaving Shui Ruo'er, Wang Hong went to the Marketplace at the Heavenly Authority Peak to browse for more refining materials. He had a sense of Shui Ruo'er's thoughts, though he hadn't experienced them firsthand. However, he understood the situation.

At this moment, he didn't want to establish close relationships with others as it might expose his secrets. Still, he had a favorable impression of Shui Ruo'er, and she was one of his few friends in the Qingxu Sect.

Since she was heading to the front lines, he wanted to help in any way he could by giving her some Spirit Wine and Healing Pills, which might increase her chances of survival.

Although the Marketplace beneath the Heavenly Authority Peak was quieter than usual, it was still much busier than Azure Void City. Many major sects had sent their peripheral members to the front lines before dispatching their own disciples, leaving Azure Void City deserted but the sect's Marketplace still bustling.

Among the people strolling through the Marketplace, Wang Hong was also there, moving between various shops, searching for the items he needed.

After exploring all the shops in this Marketplace, he managed to find several items he needed. It seemed like this trip had been worthwhile.

He planned to stay in the sect for a few days, taking on Alchemy tasks to earn more contribution points, which he could then use to exchange for books at the Scripture Tower.

The primary reason he was able to design the Flying Boat Refinement blueprint on his own was due to the extensive knowledge he had accumulated over the years.
