Treasure Pavilion

Zhou Yi handed the weird head in his hand to Uncle Du, who looked at Zhou Yi in confusion.

"What are you giving this to me for?"

"I thought you could help me exchange it for Weirdness Points. I also need to send the uncle next to us home."

Du Wei then noticed the uncle shivering beside them and saw that Zhou Yi's hand was still dripping blood. He shook his head and said to Zhou Yi, "I'll help you exchange this head tomorrow. You should go deal with your hand wound first. As for the uncle here, I'll have someone send him back."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi shook his head, "No, I promised the uncle I'd send him home."

He then looked at the wound on his hand. Thanks to Zhou Yi's powerful physique, the bleeding had already stopped, though the wound looked a bit gruesome.

Seeing Zhou Yi's determined expression and noticing that his injuries didn't affect his mobility, Du Wei said to him, "Alright, go quickly and come back quickly."

Zhou Yi said to the uncle, who was squatting to the side, "Let's go, Uncle, I'll take you home."

The uncle was so scared he couldn't speak. He hadn't expected to actually encounter Weirdness, and this Weirdness had even injured an official from the Provincial Governor's Office. Although it was eventually eliminated, looking at the gruesome wound on Zhou Yi's hand, his legs still trembled.

Unable to speak, the uncle could only nod repeatedly at Zhou Yi. Then, he shakily got up from the ground and walked in front of Zhou Yi to lead the way.

After greeting Uncle Du, Zhou Yi quickly followed.

Uncle Du nodded at Zhou Yi and then began arranging for the surrounding Provincial Governor's Office personnel to handle the aftermath.

Looking at the destruction caused by Zhou Yi's battle, the surrounding Provincial Governor's Office personnel couldn't help but click their tongues, thinking that the Provincial Governor's Office was about to gain another monster.

The last person who shocked them was Luo Jie, who was currently the rising star of the Provincial Governor's Office and the son of the Head of the North Courtyard.

The surrounding Provincial Governor's Office personnel were all speculating about who was stronger between these two monsters, but they dared not say it aloud for fear of bringing disaster upon themselves. They could only think about it in their hearts. Moreover, seeing that Zhou Yi seemed familiar with Captain Du, these people were even more hesitant to gossip.

Following the uncle, they wound their way through the streets and finally arrived at the uncle's doorstep. Seeing that the uncle had opened the door, Zhou Yi stood outside the courtyard gate, raised his injured left hand, and said to the uncle, "I won't come in. I still need to go home and treat my wound."

The uncle originally wanted to invite Zhou Yi in to rest for a while, but upon seeing the wound on Zhou Yi's hand, he swallowed the words that were about to come out. He simply bowed deeply to Zhou Yi and said, "Thank you, sir, for saving my life. I have nothing to repay you with, except to say that from now on, if you come here to eat noodles, you won't have to pay."

Zhou Yi quickly helped the uncle and used a finger to point at his clothes, asking the uncle, "Uncle, do you know what kind of clothes these are?"

The uncle straightened up, not understanding what the sir meant, and looked at Zhou Yi with confused eyes.

Zhou Yi continued, "As a member of the Provincial Governor's Office, this is what we should do. Since we eat this rice, we must do our part."

The uncle was stunned. This was the first time he had heard such a statement. In the past, the Provincial Governor's Office, while dealing with Weirdness, did not care about people like him from the lower class.

Even if a few people like him died, it was considered a "small" price paid to eliminate Weirdness.

Seeing the uncle stunned into silence, Zhou Yi quietly left, as his hand wound truly needed attention.

Looking at Zhou Yi's departing back, the uncle bent down again and bowed to Zhou Yi.

However, Zhou Yi didn't see it at this moment. Looking at the increasingly heavy snowfall, Zhou Yi quickened his pace.

Upon returning home, Zhou Yi took out the talisman pouch that Old Qin had given him and selected a Cleansing Talisman and a Blood-Stopping Talisman from it. He had previously thought he wouldn't need these low-level talismans, but now he had to use them. Fortunately, Old Qin had prepared these talismans for him. Although there weren't many, they were enough for now.

After applying the Cleansing Talisman to his arm, the talisman immediately emitted a faint glow, enveloping Zhou Yi's arm. When the light faded, the bloodstains on Zhou Yi's hand disappeared, revealing a wound deep enough to see bone.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but recall the giant snake from before. The giant snake hadn't been able to break his defenses, but now a Head-Devouring Ghost had bitten through them. It seemed his physical strength still needed improvement, and of course, there was also the reason that he hadn't used the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill.

Using Divine Abilities created too much commotion. Unless it was a life-threatening situation, Zhou Yi generally didn't like to use the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill.

Seeing his wound start bleeding again due to his recent movements, Zhou Yi hurriedly applied the Blood-Stopping Talisman. Soon, Zhou Yi's left hand stopped bleeding.

Thanks to his cultivation of Body Refining Techniques, the wound began to heal slowly. Although it wasn't visible to the naked eye, it was still much faster than other martial artists in the Vitality Realm.

After simply bandaging the wound, Zhou Yi lay down on the bed, summarizing the experience gained from the battle.

Because of the existence of the system panel, Zhou Yi had gradually become complacent. However, after being injured in tonight's battle, Zhou Yi finally understood that he couldn't underestimate Weirdness. He also summarized what he lacked. He didn't lack combat experience; what he lacked most now was cultivation methods and Spiritual Skills. The cultivation methods for the Strength Channeling Realm were no longer keeping up with his progress, and he also needed a suitable weapon.

However, all of these required a large amount of Weirdness Points to exchange, which was precisely what Zhou Yi lacked.

Just then, Zhou Yi suddenly thought that the Treasure Pavilion could also satisfy his needs, but it also required a large amount of silver to support.

However, this was good news for Zhou Yi. Silver could be earned, but Weirdness Points weren't available every day.

Zhou Yi was troubled and could only hope to make money through talismans.

With that thought, Zhou Yi decided to visit the Treasure Pavilion tomorrow.

The next morning, after waking up, Zhou Yi changed out of his Provincial Governor's Office uniform and put on a set of blue and white martial artist attire.

He ate something at a small roadside stall and then headed towards the inner city. The Treasure Pavilion was located in the inner city. It was said that the Treasure Pavilion had immense influence and branches in many cities. As for the main branch, it was located in Da Gan's capital, the Imperial City.

Zhou Yi walked towards the inner city and, after asking passersby for directions, arrived at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.

As expected, it was opulent. The Treasure Pavilion was a full nine stories high, with an octagonal shape. It was mostly made of wood, and the eaves extending from each floor were decorated with glazed tiles, shimmering in the daylight.

The exposed pillars on each floor were carved with various divine beasts, appearing lifelike.

This octagonal building was the most exquisite structure Zhou Yi had seen since arriving in this world, truly a magnificent pavilion.

Outside the Treasure Pavilion, there were no guards standing on either side, but rather some scantily clad young ladies.

Zhou Yi walked into the Treasure Pavilion. Seeing him approach, one of the young ladies standing on the side immediately stepped forward and said, "Hello, guest. What can I help you with?"

"Do you have cultivation methods and Spiritual Skills for the Vitality Realm?"

"Yes, I'll lead the way for you, guest."

Zhou Yi nodded with a calm expression and followed the young lady.

The young lady said as she walked, "Customer, you can call me Xiao Ling." After saying this, Xiao Ling continued to introduce the Treasure Pavilion to Zhou Yi. The Treasure Pavilion was divided into nine floors. The first to third floors mostly contained martial arts, cultivation methods, and Talisman Spells required by those in the Strength Channeling Realm.

The fourth to sixth floors contained cultivation methods and spiritual energy for the Vitality Realm, as well as Talisman Spells. As for the seventh and eighth floors above, they were only open to some distinguished guests of the Treasure Pavilion.

After listening, Zhou Yi clicked his tongue, unable to help but be shocked by the Treasure Pavilion's immense wealth and arrogance.

The two finally arrived at the fourth floor. The fourth floor mainly dealt in Spiritual Skills. Looking at the dazzling array of books around him, Zhou Yi almost drooled, but he maintained a calm expression on his face.

"Customer, this floor is for Spiritual Skills. Would you like me to introduce you?"

"No, I'll look around myself first."

After receiving Zhou Yi's reply, Xiao Ling bowed and said to Zhou Yi, "Alright, if you need anything, you can find me, or you can ask the people at the counter."

Zhou Yi nodded and then began to wander around the fourth floor alone. Each Spiritual Skill was categorized by the Treasure Pavilion: fist and foot techniques, movement techniques, saber techniques, sword techniques...

The myriad of Spiritual Skills made Zhou Yi's eyes blur. Afterward, Zhou Yi walked to the area for saber techniques. He saw the saber technique Spiritual Skills displayed at the counter, with descriptions and prices below them. Zhou Yi read through them one by one.

Burning Wood Saber Technique: When using this saber technique, activate it with blood energy to inflict burning damage. The saber moves lightly and with extreme speed.

Price: 50,000 taels of silver.

Seeing the price, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. He then looked at the next manual.

Two Forms Saber Technique: A dual-wielding saber technique. When used, one saber attacks while the other defends. The saber moves unconventionally, winning through stability.

Price: 80,000 taels of silver.

Zhou Yi's heart ached again. He then browsed quickly and soon his eyes lit up as a saber technique manual suitable for him appeared.

Seven Great Limits (Incomplete) Two Forms: This saber technique was collected by this pavilion and identified as an ancient saber technique. It is extremely difficult to master. This saber technique completely abandons defense and focuses solely on offense. Although its power is immense, it consumes a lot of the user's vitality and blood.

Price: 100,000 taels of silver.

If this saber technique were combined with my Indestructible Golden Body, wouldn't I be invincible?

Although Zhou Yi's heart yearned for it, his pockets were empty, so he could only look.

Reluctantly bidding farewell to the saber techniques, Zhou Yi came to the fifth floor. The fifth floor was divided into two areas: one half was the weapon area, and the other half was the Talisman Spell area.

Zhou Yi walked directly to the Talisman Spell area. All the Talisman Spells in the counter were blue, various kinds that Zhou Yi had never seen before.

Message Talisman Pair: This Talisman Spell is divided into two parts, upper and lower. Write text on one Talisman Spell, and the text will immediately appear on the other.

Price: 10,000 taels.

Corpse Suppressing Talisman: It can immobilize Weirdness with a physical form below the Spirit level for a period of time. The specific duration depends on the strength of the Weirdness.

Price: 50,000 taels of silver.

Spirit Suppressing Talisman: It can immobilize Weirdness with a spiritual form below the Spirit level for a period of time. The specific duration depends on the strength of the Weirdness.

Price: 60,000 taels of silver.
