Novice Gift Pack
With only 1 Contribution Point, he looked at the items in the Mall, each of which cost at least 10,000 Contribution Points to exchange for. He truly felt like he'd screwed a dog.
"Host."
The system reminded him, "You are looking at the High Stage Mall."
"Hm?"
Only then did Jun Changxiao notice several buttons on the left side of the Mall panel: Novice Mall, Initial Stage Mall, Intermediate Stage Mall, and High Stage Mall.
"No wonder it was so expensive. I was looking at the High Stage one!"
He hurriedly tapped the Novice Mall, and an entirely new panel appeared.
There was only one item in the Novice Mall, called the Novice Gift Pack, and it required 1 Contribution Point to exchange for.
Novice Gift Pack?
Delighted, Jun Changxiao said, "This one!"
He refused to believe there could be anything cheaper than this in the Mall!
**Ding!** "Host has spent 1 Contribution Point and obtained a Novice Gift Pack. It has been transferred into the Spatial Ring." **Ding!** "Sect Contribution Points: 0/100!"
Jun Changxiao did not care that his Contribution Points had returned to zero. He hurriedly focused his consciousness into the Spatial Ring and saw a red gift box nestled beside the Timed Bomb.
Whoosh!
He excitedly opened it.
**Ding!** "Host has opened the Novice Gift Pack and obtained Talisman of Escape ×1!" **Ding!** "Host has opened the Novice Gift Pack and obtained Talisman of Durability ×1!" **Ding!** "Host has opened the Novice Gift Pack and obtained Talisman of Speed ×1!" **Ding!** "Host has opened the Novice Gift Pack and obtained Talisman of Seal Breaking ×1!"
After a string of notifications, four talismans appeared out of thin air inside the Spatial Ring, while Jun Changxiao's mouth twitched.
Escape?
It sounded like something for fleeing for his life.
Durability?
It sounded like something for defense!
Speed?
It sounded like something for traveling quickly!
After transmigrating into another world, if he was not going to show off and slap faces, and only knew how to flee, take beatings, and survive, what meaning was there in living?
**Ding!** "Host has opened the Novice Gift Pack and obtained Talisman of Experience ×1!"
"Talisman of Experience?"
Jun Changxiao asked, "What is that?"
The system explained, "The Talisman of Experience can rapidly raise the host's Cultivation."
"Really?"
Jun Changxiao was overjoyed.
It seemed that among all the items given by the Novice Gift Pack, this was the most valuable one!
"How do I use it?"
"Crush it!"
Crack!
Without a moment's hesitation, Jun Changxiao directly crushed the talisman inscribed with the words "Experience."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, vast energy surged forth within his body and rushed through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
**Ding!** "Host has successfully broken through to the Third Stage of Pulse Opening!" **Ding!** "Host has successfully broken through to the Fourth Stage of Pulse Opening!" **Ding!** "Host has successfully broken through to Pulse Opening Five Stages!"
After the Experience Talisman was crushed, Jun Changxiao's realm leaped from the Second Stage of Pulse Opening straight to Pulse Opening Five Stages.
Martial artists on the Starfall Continent possessed twelve main meridians in their bodies. Opening one meridian meant the first stage of Pulse Opening, while opening all twelve meant the Meridian Opening Twelve Stages.
Of course.
Pulse Opening was merely the entry-level realm of the Starfall Continent.
Above it were Martial Apprentice, Martial Master, Martial Grandmaster, Martial King, Martial Emperor, Martial Saint, and Martial God.
The stronger one's realm, the greater one's strength.
It was said that experts at the Martial King level or above could fly through the air and take a man's head from a thousand miles away.
"This feels amazing!"
Feeling waves of powerful energy gathering within his body, Jun Changxiao's face was filled with bliss.
If the martial artists of the Starfall Continent, who painstakingly cultivated Cultivation Methods to break through, knew that he had risen three levels just by crushing a piece of paper, they would surely be so envious they'd vomit blood.
Jun Changxiao took out the yellow paper inscribed with the words "Seal Breaking" and asked, "What is this thing for, then?"
The system said, "The Talisman of Seal Breaking is used to remove the seal on the Uncollectible Blade."
"That blade has a seal?"
"Yes. The Uncollectible Blade is suppressed by a seal. The host must rely on the Talisman of Seal Breaking to unseal it before it can be used normally."
A row of black lines rose across Jun Changxiao's forehead.
The weapon Shouyuan had given him needed to be unsealed before it could be used. What kind of bullshit setting was that?
"Ah."
Thinking of the scammy system and scammy Shouyuan, Jun Changxiao, walking down the road, once again raised his head and sighed toward the heavens.
"Stop sighing."
Lu Qianqian said flatly, "Hurry up and travel. Otherwise, the gates of Qingyang City will close, and we'll have to sleep in the wilderness again."
Since he wanted to develop the sect, he had to recruit disciples.
According to the memories of the previous owner, Jun Changxiao learned that Qingyang City would hold the Hundred Sects Recruitment in half a month, drawing many young boys and girls to participate.
This was a good opportunity to recruit members!
Thus, Sect Leader Jun had brought Lu Qianqian here, resulting in their chance encounter with the Green-scarf Martial Artist in the wilderness earlier.
"Qianqian."
Jun Changxiao forced a smile and said, "I'm a little tired. How about we rest for a while first?"
"No."
Lu Qianqian answered coldly.
"..."
Speechless, Jun Changxiao could only continue on his way.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded behind them. When he turned around, he saw several martial artists in matching uniforms rushing over and surrounding him.
"Senior Brother Li!"
Covering his face, the Green-scarf Martial Artist said angrily, "He's the one who hit me!"
"Hmph."
The martial artist called Senior Brother Li swept Jun Changxiao with a glance and said coldly, "You have quite the nerve, attacking a member of our Spirit Spring Sect."
"Spirit Spring Sect?"
Jun Changxiao felt that the sect sounded somewhat familiar.
Lu Qianqian said flatly, "Sect Leader, the Spirit Spring Sect is the ninth-rate sect of Spirit Spring Village."
"I see."
Jun Changxiao remembered now.
When he heard the woman call him sect leader, Senior Brother Li asked in disbelief, "You're a sect leader?"
Jun Changxiao felt wounded.
He was so dignified and imposing. Did he not look like a sect leader?
"Senior Brother Li!"
Covering his swollen face, the Green-scarf Martial Artist said, "He said he's the sect leader of the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect!"
"The Iron Bone Unyielding Sect?"
"Hahaha! Isn't that the sect whose leader visited a brothel, got caught by the authorities, then failed to break out of prison and was beheaded?"
"I heard its disciples had already eaten their last meal together. How does it still exist?"
The disciples of the Spirit Spring Sect wore expressions of utter disdain and mockery.
Though both were ninth-rate sects, whether in foundation or disciples, the Spirit Spring Sect utterly crushed the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect.
"Ah."
Jun Changxiao sighed inwardly.
When he had learned that the previous Sect Leader Wang had met a gruesome end because he visited a pleasure house, he had been speechless for quite a while too.
Men, after all.
Going out to relax once in a while was perfectly normal.
Since he had been caught, why not honestly accept reformation? Why risk breaking out of prison?
Jun Changxiao could not understand it, because he had yet to truly grasp the sect's creed—be people of unbending iron bones, and do deeds of unbending iron bones!
"Gentlemen."
Jun Changxiao smiled. "Did you stop me just to humiliate my Iron Bone Unyielding Sect?"
"Pah."
Senior Brother Li spat on the ground and said, "A garbage sect like yours dares to call yourself 'this venerable one'? You really think you're somebody?"
"You little brat whose hair hasn't even grown in yet, what qualifications do you have to be a sect leader?"
"And that newly recruited disciple too. He actually got beaten by garbage like this. If word gets out, how embarrassing would that be for our Spirit Spring Sect!"
The disciples of the Spirit Spring Sect did not take Jun Changxiao seriously at all, humiliating and mocking him to their hearts' content.
"This was the typical brainless little villain. If I don't stomp them beneath my feet, how could I live up to my status as a transmigrator?"
Rolling up his sleeves, Jun Changxiao said, "Qianqian, move farther away. I'm going to teach these idiots a lesson."
Lu Qianqian turned and stepped back, but tossed out an indifferent remark, "If you die, remember to pass the position of sect leader to me."
Jun Changxiao nearly stumbled.
So this cold and proud woman had ambitions for the position of sect leader all along!
If he had not been bound to that damned system, he truly would have been more than willing to hand the sect leader position to Lu Qianqian and quietly become a carefree, handsome man in this otherworld.
