Chapter 355: Exchanging Items, The Profound Legacy of the Holy Warrior Manor



December 21, 2024

The Office of Internal Affairs.

Sunlight filtered through the lattice windows, forming a column of light that illuminated Jiang Ning's feet.

He turned the pages of the book in his hand, stopping at the one corresponding to Vajra Indestructible Body.

Compared to the Inner Core Cultivation Technique, the required contribution points for Vajra Indestructible Body made his pupils constrict slightly.

One million contribution points were needed to exchange for the Vajra Indestructible Body cultivation method, which could only reach the Great Accomplishment stage.

The Perfected Method was also missing! The book had a more detailed description of Vajra Indestructible Body, occupying more lines.

The book praised Vajra Indestructible Body as one of the few techniques in the world capable of refining the body to the point of indestructibility.

At the same time, it expressed regret for the loss of the Perfected Method.

The Perfected Method of Vajra Indestructible Body could only be found in the Vajra Temple.

There was no other place in the world where the Perfected Method of Vajra Indestructible Body existed.

"One million contribution points, and it only reaches the Great Accomplishment stage. Such an incomplete method is so expensive, no wonder it's a treasured martial art of the Vajra Temple!"

Jiang Ning sighed as he read the description of Vajra Indestructible Body in the book.

At this moment, he realized that his over one million contribution points would barely be enough to obtain an incomplete cultivation method.

He shook his head and continued flipping through the pages.

Then,

He saw something that caught his interest.

Dragon-Tiger Embryonic Breath Pill.

Each pill was worth four hundred thousand contribution points.

This pill originated from the Dragon-Tiger Mountain of the Daoist sect.

One pill could renew the five viscera, allowing them to be reborn and eliminating all hidden illnesses. For those who cultivate their inner breath, it could enhance their cultivation by a decade.

"What a precious item indeed!" Jiang Ning couldn't help but salivate as he read the description.

With just one Dragon-Tiger Embryonic Breath Pill, his cultivation would officially surpass that of two people.

Thump, thump—

Just then, footsteps echoed from the stairs.

Jiang Ning looked up.

White Grandma was also coming down from the second floor, holding two pages of golden paper.

Jiang Ning's eyes lit up with anticipation.

At Martial Dao Fourth Stage, he had limited knowledge about the Fourth Rank Essence Interpretation and Fifth Rank Rough Interpretation. He had only heard fragments about the Third Rank, and had no systematic understanding.

"Here you go!" White Grandma approached Jiang Ning and handed him the two pages of golden paper she was holding.

She then said, "This is the Fourth Rank Essence Interpretation and Fifth Rank Rough Interpretation."

Jiang Ning's expression turned slightly surprised as he received the two pages of golden paper.

The pages were covered by a thin film, making the already small text blurry and hard to read.

"Senior, what is this?" Jiang Ning asked.

White Grandma explained, "The Fourth Rank and above are considered top-secret and not to be shared outside. Thus, the Holy Warrior Manor has taken measures to prevent external transmission."

She pointed to the thin film on the two pages of golden paper in Jiang Ning's hand.

"Tear off the film, and you'll be able to read the text clearly. But within half an incense stick's time, the paper will turn to ashes."

"Senior, so I only have half an incense stick's time to read the text?" Jiang Ning asked.

"That's right!" White Grandma nodded, "At most half an incense stick's time, and it'll be shorter if exposed to sunlight."

"What if I can't memorize the text within half an incense stick's time?" Jiang Ning inquired.

White Grandma smiled, "That's easy! Just come back here and exchange for another copy!"

Jiang Ning: ...

He felt speechless for a moment.

Exchange for another copy?

That would cost sixty thousand contribution points, equivalent to sixty thousand taels of silver.

How could he say it's no big deal?

Fortunately, he had the ability of photographic memory!

Jiang Ning felt unconcerned.

"What else do you want to exchange? Think it over, boy. Once you're decided, I'll go and get everything for you at once," White Grandma said, glancing at the book in Jiang Ning's hand, which was already half-read.

Jiang Ning respectfully replied, "Senior, do you have charcoal and paper here? I'd like to write down all the requirements so that it's convenient for you to retrieve the items."

"Wait a moment!" White Grandma said.

She then went to a nearby drawer, opening it.

From inside, she took out a charcoal pen and a sheet of paper.

"Here you go. After you're done writing, give it to me!"

"Thank you, Senior!" Jiang Ning took the charcoal pen and paper.

He thought for a moment and then put away the two pages of golden paper.

White Grandma glanced at Jiang Ning's action and reminded him, "Remember, the Holy Warrior Manor has taken measures to prevent external transmission. Once the news leaks out and the Manor finds out, the consequences will be severe!"

"I understand, Senior!" Jiang Ning replied.

Then, he continued to peruse the book in his hand, slowly flipping through the pages.

【+1 Character Recognition Experience】

【+1 Character Recognition Experience】

【+1 Character Recognition Experience】

【.】

As he flipped through the pages, his skill in Character Recognition gradually improved.

It took him over an hour to read through the entire book.

He reached the last page of the thick book.

He closed the book and shut his eyes.

In his mind's eye, the yellowed pages he had just read flashed by rapidly.

Only a moment had passed.

He recalled all the items mentioned in the book.

Then, he picked up a charcoal pen and a piece of white paper and slowly wrote down the items he wanted to exchange.

The pen scratched against the paper, making a rustling sound.

One Rebirth Pill, worth 100,000 Contribution Points.

This pill wasn't for himself but for Jiang Li.

At Jiang Li's age, if she wanted to seriously practice martial arts, she would need external assistance to reshape her muscles and rejuvenate her vitality, only then could she achieve some success.

He had carefully considered this purchase.

Jiang Li had told him yesterday that she wanted to practice martial arts seriously.

He could understand her decision.

After the humiliation at the Liu Family, any man would want to prove himself.

He supported her wholeheartedly.

After all, if Jiang Li achieved some success in martial arts, she would have the strength to protect herself.

However, Jiang Li had already passed the prime age for martial arts.

Even with the help of his purified essence blood, it would be difficult for Jiang Li to make significant progress.

The Rebirth Pill was different.

Although it couldn't achieve the literal rebirth suggested by its name, it could reshape muscles and rejuvenate the body.

Then, he selected the second item.

One Embrace Qi Pill, worth 100,000 Contribution Points.

According to the book's description, this pill was a product of the Dragon Tiger Mountain of the Daoist sect.

Harvested at the initial rays of the morning sun, it was refined from a strand of essence energy from the sacred mountain and various heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

It had the effect of increasing inner breath.

The main factor for Jiang Ning's choice of this item wasn't its ability to increase inner breath.

For him, the increase in inner breath was just an added benefit.

The main factor was that the pill was refined from heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Through his own exploration, he had discovered that the primary source of his Source Energy Points was these treasures, and the more concentrated the treasures were, the more they contributed to his point growth.

The Embrace Qi Pill was refined from various heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Even without trying it, he knew that this pill would provide a good value for his Source Energy Points.

The increase in inner breath was also crucial for him at this point.

"Only 200,0000

"I've only spent 200,000 Contribution Points, let's continue!"

Jiang Ning's thoughts raced, and the treasures he had just seen in the book flashed through his mind.

He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he didn't choose to exchange for the Sword Testing Stone and the Knife Testing Wall.

These two fifth-rank items were tickets to the Sword Testing Stone and Knife Testing Wall, where one could comprehend sword and knife energies.

Each ticket cost 200,000 Contribution Points and was valid for a certain period.

As the book mentioned.

Mastering energies was the key to unlocking the fourth rank of martial arts.

These two tickets, each worth 200,000 Contribution Points, were the keys to unlocking the fourth rank of martial arts.

But he knew that he had already mastered knife energy and could harness the power of heaven and earth, so he didn't need these tickets."

Buying these tickets would only satisfy his curiosity and broaden his horizons.

He shook his head, dispelling the thought.

Then, he continued writing on the white paper, and the charcoal pen scratched against it, making a rustling sound.

Ten drops of Moon Dew.

A rare heavenly material that could increase mental power.

One drop cost 10,000 Contribution Points, so ten drops cost 100,000.

In Jiang Ning's opinion, he lacked nothing at the moment, and by diligently practicing, he could steadily increase his strength.

The importance of mental power to martial arts was undeniable.

The only way he knew to increase his mental power was through reading, improving his Character Recognition skill.

Ten drops of Moon Dew were also a way to increase his mental power and Source Energy Points.

It was a win-win situation.

The charcoal pen continued to scratch against the paper, making a rustling sound.

(End of Chapter)

Hundred Spirit Blood, ten drops, priced at one hundred thousand contribution points.

This price is consistent with the information previously obtained from Lin Qingyi, who mentioned that one drop is worth ten thousand taels of silver.

Previously, Lin Qingyi had stated that with just the last ten drops of Hundred Spirit Blood, she would be able to smoothly break through and enter the Grand Master realm.

However, even with her status as the Deputy Master of Wan Hua Tower and her connections, she has been unable to find Hundred Spirit Blood.

This shows that the market price of Hundred Spirit Blood is indeed as rumored.

One drop is worth ten thousand taels of silver.

But in reality, it is a situation of high demand and limited supply.

Yet here, it can be easily obtained as long as one has contribution points.

"No wonder they have access to the resources of the Holy Warrior Manor!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Soon, the requirement to exchange for ten drops of Hundred Spirit Blood appeared on the paper.

"With these ten drops of Hundred Spirit Blood to replenish my body's consumption, it should be fine!"

He nodded slightly.

Today, he has lost a lot of blood.

Not only did he give a drop to the Dragon Carp, but he also gave several drops to Xiao Emei.

At the same time, he allowed the Old Turtle to absorb more blood.

The reason for doing so is to quickly increase the Old Turtle's cultivation, ensuring it can better guard this home.

Yu Manyun remains a hidden concern in his heart.

Even when she is outside, with Xiao Emei's surveillance, and inside, with the Old Turtle's protection, he still feels uneasy.

He doesn't fully trust that if Xiao Emei were to be negligent, the Old Turtle might not have the strength to buy enough time against Yu Manyun.

Therefore, he just chose to expend a large amount of blood to enhance the Old Turtle's cultivation.

This also made him feel a strange sensation in his body.

And these ten drops of Hundred Spirit Blood are what he needs to replenish his body's consumption.

Subsequently, he stopped writing.

According to the records in the book, there are auxiliary items for the Fourth Rank.

Not understanding the Fourth Rank, he currently doesn't know if he needs such items.

He had originally planned to go back and carefully read the Fourth Rank Essence Interpretation of Martial Arts.

Now, understanding the Fourth Rank is crucial, as it determines how he will use his remaining contribution points to select the most appropriate items.

Jiang Ning put down the charcoal pen in his hand.

With a wave of his hand, two pages of golden thin paper appeared in his grasp.

【Martial Arts Fourth Rank Essence Interpretation】

【Martial Arts Third Rank Detailed Interpretation】

On the two pages of golden thin paper, he could only make out these few characters.

The rest of the characters were covered by a semi-transparent film.

With this semi-transparent film covering them, normal human eyes couldn't discern the text beneath.

This film is also a type of anti-theft technology employed by the Holy Warrior Manor.

According to what White Grandma had just said,

If someone were to tear open the film, within half an incense stick's worth of time, the entire sheet of paper would turn into ashes, and nothing would remain.

At the side,

White Grandma saw Jiang Ning's actions and couldn't help but glance over.

The next moment,

She witnessed Jiang Ning tearing open the anti-theft film on the golden thin paper.

Seeing this, she finally felt relieved.

If it were anyone else, she would have had them tear open the anti-theft film and destroy the paper after reading it.

But for Jiang Ning, she instinctively showed some tolerance and granted him the freedom to take the paper away.

However, she still felt some worry, and only now did she truly put her mind at ease.

【Character Recognition Experience: +1】

【Character Recognition Experience: +1】

【.】

At this moment,

On the golden thin paper, the black characters were as small as ants crawling.

On a single page of golden thin paper, there were thousands of characters.

Jiang Ning's gaze swept across the lines, and his Character Recognition experience entered a state of rapid growth.

Not long after,

Having finished reading the Martial Arts Fourth Rank Essence Interpretation, Jiang Ning's gaze returned to the end of the page.

【This time, reading the Martial Arts Fifth Rank Essence Interpretation, Character Recognition Experience increased by a total of 334 points】

He closed his eyes and quickly reviewed the information in his mind.

After confirming the accuracy of his memory,

He placed the golden thin paper he had finished reading under the column of sunlight.
