When had Jun Changxiao ever not wanted to personally take the field and teach his disciples? But he himself was only at the Meridian Opening Tenth Stage, a complete newbie when it came to understanding the Martial Dao.
Without Martial Arts Experience and with low Cultivation, he could only rely on the Strongest Sect System for now. Yet it had that damned purchase limit, preventing him from happily buying Insight Talismans.
"Alas."
Jun Changxiao sat cross-legged in his room, rubbing his temples as he said, "I can only let the eldest and second disciples teach everyone first. Once I can exchange for Insight Talismans, I'll personally guide them."
The next day.
The sky had only just begun to brighten.
Li Qingyang led the male disciples in training at the Training Ground. Since most of them were only at the second or third stage, they mainly practiced basic Martial Dao exercises.
Not long after, Lu Qianqian arrived with twenty female disciples. Clad in a short white robe, she looked like an Immortal maiden untouched by mortal dust. Perhaps because she had changed clothes, the frost on her face had softened somewhat as well.
The daily training had been handed over to the two disciples.
Sect Leader Jun sat idly in the main hall and opened the system panel. Seeing that the Sect Mission still displayed "None Available," he said gloomily, "System, when the hell will this mission be issued?"
"Wait."
The system's response was clean and decisive.
Jun Changxiao was speechless. He could only circulate the Calm Heart Art, drawing in the spirit power of heaven and earth to condense Spiritual Energy.
He still had 50 Contribution Points. He had not considered exchanging them for Experience Points, nor had he considered exchanging them for goods. He planned to save them for emergencies.
"Sect Leader."
A short while later, Li Qingyang came over and asked, "Does our sect have an exclusive Cultivation Method?"
"Yes, the Qi Condensation Art," Jun Changxiao said.
Li Qingyang's mouth twitched. "The Qi Condensation Art is a lowly Cultivation Method. How can we have the junior brothers cultivate it?"
"That's true."
Jun Changxiao began considering whether he should write down the Calm Heart Art and let the disciples cultivate it.
No, no.
This was the Cultivation Method practiced by the Cangshan Sect Elder. Using it as his own sect's Cultivation Method would be improper on one hand, and it would not be exclusive on the other.
Whoosh!
Jun Changxiao opened the system panel and clicked into the Initial Stage Mall. There are Martial Techniques like the Ninefold Collapse Fist in the Mall. There should be Cultivation Methods too, right?
Unfortunately, after opening the Initial Stage Mall, he found that aside from the Ninefold Collapse Fist, there was not a single Cultivation Method manual.
"What should I do..." Jun Changxiao was instantly depressed.
The system reminded him, "Host can pull down the panel. Old goods will be replaced by new goods."
"There's even a refresh function?"
Delight surged in Jun Changxiao's heart, and he immediately prepared to pull down the goods panel with his thoughts.
The system reminded him, "Each pull-down will automatically deduct 10 Sect Contribution Points. Host, please consider carefully."
"..."
Jun Changxiao's mouth twitched.
No wonder the bastard had kindly reminded him—it turned out to be a paid feature!
What should he do?
Pull it down, or not?
What troubled Jun Changxiao was that many of the current goods were quite good.
For example, the Initial Grade Insight Talisman and the Aptitude Modification Fluid. Once they were replaced with new goods, he would definitely be unable to buy them anymore.
The system said, "Host, please rest assured. Any item you have purchased will be stored under Purchased Goods. Even if the Mall refreshes, they can still be purchased."
"Really?"
Jun Changxiao was overjoyed.
Of course, he understood that the system had only explained things so carefully for one purpose: to egg him on into spending Contribution Points!
Fine, have it your way.
With a thought, Jun Changxiao viciously pulled down the Mall panel. The original goods immediately vanished from their slots, replaced by entirely new products.
Ding!
Sect Contribution Points: 40/100.
Not only had Jun Changxiao spent 10 Contribution Points, but a [Purchased Goods] button had also appeared out of thin air to the right of the Initial Stage goods.
When he opened it, items such as the Low-grade Healing Pills he had previously purchased were all listed inside. However, most were grayed out. Clearly, refreshing the goods did not refresh their purchase limits.
Jun Changxiao closed the Purchased Goods panel and began examining the Initial Stage Mall.
After the refresh, there were many new types of goods, but nearly all began with "Initial Grade," and their exchange prices generally stood at 10 Contribution Points.
As he dragged the goods list farther downward, Sect Leader Jun's heart grew colder and colder. Among the refreshed goods, not only was there no Cultivation Method manual, there was not even a single fist technique manual!
It was over, it was over.
He had wasted 10 Contribution Points for nothing.
Had he known this would be the result, he would have been better off exchanging for a Low-grade Cold Edge Sword.
"Hm?"
As he continued scrolling down, Jun Changxiao spotted an aged yellow book in one of the slots. Three characters were written across its cover: 'Yi Jin Jing.'
"This thing is here too?"
In his understanding, the Yi Jin Jing was the foremost Shaolin Sect martial arts manual from wuxia novels of his former world. The Mall actually sold it—it was simply unbelievable!
If it could refresh a 98K next, that would be even more awesome.
With a thought, he opened the item description—
"Item: Yi Jin Jing."
"Description: One of two scriptures left behind by Grandmaster Bodhidharma while he faced the wall in meditation on Mount Song."
"Effect: Strengthens tendons and bones, clears the meridians, tempers the will, and hones the fleshly body."
"Advantages: Suitable for Martial Artists in the Pulse Opening stage. After successful cultivation, it can not only enhance the fleshly body, but also increase the success rate of opening meridians by 50%!"
"Disadvantage: Limited to Martial Artists in the Pulse Opening stage."
"Price: 10 Contribution Points."
"Grade: God-grade Initial Stage Cultivation Method."
Seeing the final grade description, Jun Changxiao froze. He subconsciously slapped his own face and said in disbelief, "This Yi Jin Jing is... a God-grade Initial Stage Cultivation Method?"
He thought he had seen it wrong.
But it really did say God-grade Initial Stage.
According to the quality classifications of Martial Techniques on the Starfall Continent, the Yi Jin Jing was a supreme Cultivation Method second only to God-grade intermediate and high grades!
"Holy shit!"
Certain beyond all doubt that his eyes had not deceived him, Jun Changxiao shot straight up from his chair.
For 10 Contribution Points, he had refreshed a God-grade Initial Stage Yi Jin Jing Cultivation Method. That was absolutely terrifying!
Even the system could not stand watching him anymore. "Host's luck is truly good. The probability of a God-grade Cultivation Method refreshing in the Initial Stage Mall is below 1%."
"Hahahaha!"
Jun Changxiao threw back his head and laughed, roaring in his heart, With luck like this, I've escaped Africa and entered Europe!
What was there to wait for?
He definitely had to buy! Buy! Buy!
With a thought, Sect Leader Jun clicked on the Yi Jin Jing and chose to purchase it without the slightest hesitation.
Ding!
"Host has spent 10 Contribution Points and obtained Yi Jin Jing ×1. It has been transferred into the Spatial Ring."
Ding!
Sect Contribution Points: 30/100.
Jun Changxiao hurriedly sent his consciousness into the Spatial Ring, took the Yi Jin Jing manual into his hands, and said excitedly, "Once cultivated to mastery, it raises the success rate of opening meridians by 50%. This is absolutely a godly Cultivation Method!"
During the early stages of Martial Dao on the Starfall Continent, what was the hardest thing? Naturally, opening the meridians!
The original owner of this body had challenged the third stage after entering the Second Stage of Pulse Opening. Yet he failed every single attempt, never opening the meridian even until death.
As long as one cultivated the Yi Jin Jing to mastery, even with somewhat poor aptitude, there would be a fifty-percent chance of opening the meridians!
Sect Leader Jun wished he could immediately cultivate the Yi Jin Jing to mastery. Then he would no longer need to rely on Contribution Points to exchange for Experience Points, and could use Spiritual Energy to genuinely open his meridians!
