Inner Sect Disciples are so generous.
After walking out of the Scripture Pavilion, Yun Shu sadly discovered that his contribution points were wiped clean.
"Forget it, I don't really need contribution points anymore," Yun Shu's expression paused.
Since Spirit Stones could be exchanged for contribution points, he would just have to kill more Demonic Beasts.
Currently, he was heading to the market at the foot of the mountain to see if he could sell those things. How many Spirit Stones he could get would become a stable, long-term source of Energy Points.
Of course, he would still take on any quests he could. Getting a hundred Spirit Stones at once, why wouldn't he?
Spirit Stones were an extremely scarce resource, even for Inner Sect Disciples.
Not all Inner Sect Disciples could be like Yun Shu, who entered the Inner Sect with a hundred Spirit Stones in hand.
They also had to slowly complete tasks.
After walking out of the Scripture Pavilion, he went to find Lin Yang.
When Lin Yang brought over two Golden Python Tigers, tied up securely, Yun Shu couldn't help but chuckle.
Demonic Beasts, while strong, could only be handled this way, lest they escape.
The two Golden Python Tigers, without exaggeration, were very valuable even as cubs. Once they matured, they would possess Demonic Transformation stage strength. Though their growth cycle was a bit long, their combat power was immense!
"Carry them. We'll sell them at the market, and that'll be another income stream," Yun Shu said. "I wonder how many Spirit Stones we can get."
"Together, maybe around three?" Lin Yang's eyebrows twitched slightly, then he smiled.
Yun Shu nodded. This price was quite reasonable.
After all, Spirit Stones were a very precious currency for exchange.
Three Spirit Stones were already a great deal for someone in the Qi Condensation Stage.
Soon, the two headed down the mountain.
One of the disciples guarding the mountain glanced at Yun Shu, his eyes lifting slightly. "Junior Brother Yun, did you hunt a Golden Python Tiger?"
Yun Shu was quite surprised. He looked at this Senior Brother, who wore the insignia of a Spirit Sword Peak Inner Sect Disciple.
Although he didn't know how this person recognized him, Yun Shu still put down the Golden Python Tiger cub in his hand and cupped his fists slightly. "So it's a Senior Brother from Spirit Sword Peak. You even know me. I just hunted two Golden Python Tiger cubs and am planning to sell them at the market."
"Sell them to me. I've wanted to raise one for a long time," the Senior Brother said with a warm smile. "Junior Brother Yun might not know me, but I know you. I saw you at the Training Ground when the Elder in charge of bestowing techniques was lecturing. I was right there when your Body Refining caused a stir."
"May I ask for Senior Brother's name?"
"My name is Liu Xuan."
"So it's Senior Brother Liu." Yun Shu then glanced at the Golden Python Tiger, turned his head, and said with a smile, "Does Senior Brother Liu really like Golden Python Tigers?"
"Yes, Golden Python Tigers have a domineering appearance and high growth potential. I've never had the time to go out and hunt one, and my strength isn't that great either. I might not even be able to defeat an adult Golden Python Tiger, so I've put it off. I've been wanting to buy a cub to raise. I didn't expect to run into one today," Liu Xuan chuckled.
Yun Shu glanced at Liu Xuan, who had a cultivation of Qi Condensation Stage level five.
An adult Golden Python Tiger was only just entering the Demonic Transformation stage.
But strength wasn't solely determined by that. A newly Demonic Transformation stage Golden Python Tiger could handle a typical Qi Condensation Stage level two or three without pressure.
Even if one didn't have good Spirit Arts or Spell Techniques, a mid-Qi Condensation Stage cultivator might still have trouble dealing with it.
Of course, Liu Xuan's strength meant he could defeat a Golden Python Tiger; saying he couldn't was just humility. He probably just didn't have the time to go out.
"Then I'll give it directly to Senior Brother Liu." Yun Shu then handed over the Golden Python Tiger cub.
"This absolutely won't do. Golden Python Tigers are very valuable, even a cub this small is worth one or two Spirit Stones." Liu Xuan quickly waved his hands, finding it too precious.
Inner Sect Disciples' monthly stipends were only two Spirit Stones. Any other income had to be earned through quests.
Quests required effort and even risked one's life. Two Spirit Stones were enough for a Qi Condensation Stage cultivator to train for a long time.
"It's settled then. Senior Brother, please raise it. When the Golden Python Tiger cub grows up, it can even become a contracted Demonic Beast," Yun Shu waved his hand, pushing it into his hands without any room for refusal.
Liu Xuan's expression was complex as he looked at the Golden Python Tiger cub that had been thrust into his hands. "Then thank you, Junior Brother Yun. I'll treat you to drinks at the foot of the mountain someday."
"Alright!" Yun Shu smiled. "Then we'll head down the mountain now."
"Walk slowly, Junior Brother."
Giving away a Golden Python Tiger, worth one or two Spirit Stones, directly, even Lin Yang couldn't help but say, "Junior Brother has great courage."
"What courage? I'm heartbroken to death," Yun Shu said with a smile, shaking his head. He seemed to be in a good mood. "But, in this Jianghu, one more friend means one more path."
A disciple guarding the mountain, this profession was too important. It could bring him so much value.
Yun Shu couldn't help but think that with this friendship, if there were any future dealings, he could control certain things.
Lin Yang nodded as well. Yun Shu always had his own way of doing things.
Not long after, the two arrived at the market.
Both wore a black cloak. Yun Shu wasn't stingy with this, as he still had some savings.
"Let's go to the market and sell these Martial Skills first," Yun Shu said.
As for Cultivation Techniques, he hadn't obtained a single one. Did those Martial World experts not keep them?
That made sense. One Body Refining Technique was enough for this stage.
Other Body Refining Cultivation Techniques were rarely encountered by Yun Shu, with only the Immovable Diamond Body. However, this was purely for Body Refining, not just as a prelude to the immortal path, but directly walking the martial-immortal path.
"You can take a look first. If there's any you like, take it and copy it down," Yun Shu said casually at the entrance to the market.
Although these Martial Skills would differ from the original versions after being copied, as the originals had diagrams of the movements.
When copying, even if you copied the diagrams exactly, there might still be some deviations. This was unavoidable.
Therefore, the rubbings were ultimately inferior to the originals, but the difference was not significant, and there were no issues with their use.
"No need. I haven't fully familiarized myself with the Martial Skills you copied for me before, Junior Brother Yun," Lin Yang said with a wry smile.
Yun Shu, "..."
It was normal not to be familiar with them yet, considering how little time had passed.
"Alright, then let's wait," Yun Shu said.
If they waited, at least Lin Yang could familiarize himself with this Martial Skill, and he could let him copy others next time.
In any case, there were plenty of missions, and as long as it was a mission involving killing, it was rare not to be able to obtain Martial Skills.
In fact, Yun Shu had already undertaken many team-based missions by himself.
For example, the Three-Eyed Demonic Wolf mission might require the combined efforts of several Inner Sect Disciples.
And missions involving killing, he had also started doing them alone, as they were too dangerous.
Although Yun Shu hadn't lived a life on the edge of a blade, it was close. Now, in his eyes, killing people was no different from killing ferocious beasts.
They were all just Spirit Stones and contribution points, resources for cultivation.
Within the market, Yun Shu casually found a stall.
"Here will do."
He then placed several Martial Skills on it.
Four Mid-grade Martial Skills and six Low-grade ones. These were all treasures of Dust Avoiding Villa, and they amounted to a considerable fortune.
A total of ten Martial Skills.
As soon as they were brought out, the passersby stopped in their tracks.
To them, Cultivation Techniques that could improve one's realm, or Martial Skills that could indirectly enhance their strength, were extremely precious. Moreover, most of them were disciples in the Body Refining realm, or people from the Dynasties in the Body Refining realm.
"Can I take a look at this Martial Skill?" a person wearing a black cloak asked.
"Five Qi Nurturing Pills to take a look," Yun Shu replied.
One wouldn't be able to remember it all in one go anyway. Moreover, if even one diagram was miscopied, it could lead to practicing incorrectly, not only going in the wrong direction but also causing harm to the body.
Of course, if someone could truly remember it, Yun Shu would accept it. Such a strong special ability just to get a free look at his Low-grade Martial Skills?
"Okay." The person readily handed over five Qi Nurturing Pills.
Seeing this, others followed suit.
Five Qi Nurturing Pills to take a look meant they could gain a deeper understanding of most of the underlying principles within. Whether it was truly powerful, one could get a direct impression.
Thus, before Yun Shu had even officially opened for business, he had already received seventy to eighty Qi Nurturing Pills.
Among them, some Mid-grade Martial Skills were passed around repeatedly, earning Yun Shu quite a bit of money.
"I'll take this one," a middle-aged man said.
He was not wearing a cloak, and his Body Refining eighth-level realm was clearly displayed. He should be a top expert within the Dynasty.
"Mid-grade Martial Skill, ten Origin Nurturing Pills. Low-grade Martial Skill, five Origin Nurturing Pills," Yun Shu stated. "Since everyone has had a look, you must have a good idea by now."
This price was on the higher side, but these were original copies. If they found the right person, they were indeed worth this price.
"Here, these are ten Origin Nurturing Pills." The middle-aged man took the Mid-grade Martial Skill and left immediately.
Yun Shu slightly turned his head, glanced at the middle-aged man's retreating back, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.
