I'm also desperate.
Chapter 534 Checking the Directory
It was Pan Lao’s duty to introduce to others what Merit Points could be exchanged for.
From Pan Lao's introduction, Fang Yue was surprised to find that Merit Points could be exchanged for everything.
[Techniques], [Equipment], [Elixirs], [Formations], [Strange Objects]... basically, as long as the Qing Si had it, it could be exchanged for Merit Points.
This was a huge store, and with currency, one could buy what they wanted.
Even if someone wanted a Ren-level or Yu-level expert to take action once, they could use [Merit Points] to buy it.
Of course, this required the other party to agree, and both parties had to reach a consensus before it could be established.
Judging from the pie that Pan Lao was drawing, this thing was explosively good.
But when it came down to reality...
Fang Yue discovered that there weren’t many things he could exchange his Merit Points for.
t that he had too few Merit Points, but rather that the Qing Si of Qingsi County was too poor.
The Qing Si in each place had different items in stock.
Like Qingsi County, apart from the Qingsi horses as a specialty to maintain appearances, everything else was just there for show.
Naturally, there were also Xiantian realm martial arts, but there weren't as many as imagined, and the range of choices was very small.
In addition, [Elixirs], [Strange Objects], and such were not only expensive, but also of low quality.
Perhaps it was because Qingsi County was just a county town, and the highest level was the Xiantian realm, so most of the items in stock were commonly used by Houtian realm cultivators, and most of the techniques were also for the Houtian realm.
Fang Yue asked Pan Lao, and only then did he learn that the remaining items usable by the Xiantian realm were sent down from above and could be considered treasures of the county.
"How could this be..."
Fang Yue couldn't help but ask.
Then, through Pan Lao's words, he learned what was going on with the Qing Si's inventory in Qingsi County.
It turned out that the storage of Qingsi County either relied on the surrounding sects paying taxes and tributes, or on killing bizarre creatures, cleaning up night thieves, or Qing Si members handing over treasures and other means to collect them.
After developing for so many years and accumulating, they had so many things that could be exchanged.
It was just that the Qing Yi of Qingsi County had a limit to their strength, and they basically used the things that Xiantian realm cultivators could use themselves. Only a few that they couldn't use themselves were left in storage and exchanged for Merit Points.
This led to the fact that one might still be able to find good things that could be used by the Houtian realm, but most of the things that could be used by the Xiantian realm were not very good, belonging to those that had been eliminated. Only the things sent down by the upper-level Qing Si to support the scene were considered truly good things.
He thought it was a treasure trove, but it turned out to be a trash can...
Fang Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
If Fang Yue was still in the Houtian realm, then the treasure trove of Qingsi County would really be like opening Pandora's box, with so many usable things that one would only hate that they didn't have enough Merit Points.
But the problem was that Fang Yue was already in the Xiantian realm, and the range of choices immediately decreased.
Fang Yue had been full of expectations for the treasure trove of Qingsi County, but was this all it was?
Although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, the treasure trove actually had what Fang Yue wanted after so many years of accumulation, but the quality or quantity couldn't be guaranteed.
"Fortunately, I have Senior Han's inheritance as a foundation, otherwise I would really have a headache about what to do."
Seeming to sense Fang Yue's dissatisfaction and contempt, Pan Lao couldn't help but reveal a sneer.
"What? You look down on it?"
"Uh..."
"Then you can go out and look for yourself and see if there is any place in the entire Black Green Mountain Range where you can so easily obtain Xiantian realm resources. If you were to look for it yourself, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to find a single Xiantian realm cultivation technique even if you searched the entire Black Green Mountain Range!"
This was indeed the truth.
No matter how shabby the Qing Si was, it was much better than running around the map looking for cultivation techniques on his own.
If there was no inheritance from Senior Han, and no treasure trove of the Qing Si, and he didn't leave the Black Green Mountain Range and had no fortuitous encounters.
t Fang Yue might not be able to find a usable Xiantian realm martial art in a few months or even years.
Having only the realm, without cultivation techniques and martial skills, and unable to condense the [Xiantian Qi Barrier], if there was no such solid foundation as Fang Yue had, then his strength would inevitably be a level lower than others of the same level.
In addition, without cultivation techniques, his strength would stop improving, he wouldn't be able to defeat bizarre creatures, and he would fall into a vicious cycle of strength. That would be an even bigger problem, tantamount to wasting a lot of time and consuming his lifespan in vain.
In this way, he had thought too beautifully about the Qing Si and the path of cultivation.
Fang Yue reflected on himself and quickly came out of that ideological misunderstanding.
He had become inflated, too inflated. Holding the unique inheritance of Senior Han, he had begun to look down on Xiantian realm martial arts. What a sin, what a sin.
In Senior Han's inheritance, the most core cultivation technique, swordsmanship, and footwork could only be learned by those at the Ren level.
However, some of the martial arts moves that were derived from the core three were created through comprehension, and some of them could be learned by those in the Xiantian realm.
That was why Senior Han would say that the Xiantian realm was barely qualified to inherit his inheritance.
Fang Yue had also scanned through this part of the Xiantian realm martial arts. There weren't many that he could learn, and most of them were based on water-based cultivation techniques to maximize their power. Otherwise, the effect would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the most urgent task was to change the route of his internal energy cultivation technique, get a few cultivation techniques to neutralize the attributes, smooth out the transition, and then completely transform to the ice-based cultivation technique to inherit Senior Han's inheritance.
It was a pity that the Fierce Fire cultivation technique had laid such a solid fire-based foundation for him, but for the sake of being able to smoothly reach the Yu level in the future, this sacrifice was worth it.
The pain was something that had to be experienced.
"You want to see Xiantian realm cultivation techniques, right? Wait a moment."
Pan Lao walked to the bookshelf in the back, searched for a while, took a book, came over, and threw it in front of Fang Yue.
Fang Yue looked at the cover. The large characters 'Compilation of Xiantian Realm Martial Arts' were extremely eye-catching.
"All the Xiantian realm martial arts are inside, with detailed introductions and Merit Point prices."
After a pause, Pan Lao continued, "If you really look down on it, then you can keep the Merit Points and go to other Qing Si, or go to the headquarters in Qingdu, to exchange for what you want with Merit Points."
As the headquarters of the Qing Si, the Qing Si of Qingdu had the most complete range of items. No matter what you wanted, you could always gain something by going there with a huge number of Merit Points.
If there really wasn't anything, you could also spend Merit Points to issue a task and let a strong person help you find it.
It was just that Qingdu was far away, and Fang Yue was in a hurry to quickly improve his strength. He didn't have time to go to Qingdu. If he really went, he wasn't sure if the Qingsi County he saw when he came back would be ruins and wreckage.
The crisis of the [Coffin-Pulling Bizarre] was still close at hand.
Shaking his head slightly, Fang Yue picked up this [Compilation of Xiantian Realm Martial Arts] and carefully examined it.
