Chapter 231

In the outer sect, money was not as useful as contribution points.

Xu Yang glanced at it, saw the three months of contribution points rewarded by Zhao Qing written on the paper, immediately thanked the shopkeeper, and stepped out of the Hundred Medicine Hall.

"Junior Brother Xu, walk slowly; you have quite a few contribution points this time, do you have any thoughts of transferring them? The price is negotiable." Jin Lei chased up from behind.

Xu Yang's heart sank, he revealed a difficult expression, and said: "Sorry, Senior Brother Jin, I am also very short of contribution points, and I have yet to obtain a Gang Qi martial art, so I need to use these contribution points myself."

Before Jin Lei could speak, Gu Haoming beside him spoke up: "Just for my sake, sell some to Senior Brother Jin; he won't let you suffer a loss."

"You also have contribution points, why don't you sell them to Senior Brother Jin?"

Xu Yang was almost amused; Gu Haoming didn't have a fart's worth of face here, and even Lu Ren wouldn't dare to say such things.

"You..." Gu Haoming was choked and couldn't speak.

He didn't even have enough contribution points for himself, so how could he sell them?

In order to make outer sect disciples work like oxen and horses, the Profound Heaven Sect simply didn't give you a chance to use silver; the sect's industries were everywhere, and everyone spent money like a master, so they would have closed down long ago.

"Junior Brother Xu, I'll give you five taels of silver per contribution point; sell me half, just consider it making a friend of this Senior Brother; if you have difficulties in the future, you can come to me at any time." Jin Lei said seriously.

What a big face!

Not only did he ask for half right away, but he also brought out a favor he considered very important as a bargaining chip, as if he were an inner sect disciple.

Xu Yang never believed in favors; the Lu Ren and Gu Haoming before him were living examples.

Back then, Zhang Yong, Zhao Zhifei, and Jiang Ping fought for them, and now they were still being harvested like leeks; without value, others wouldn't even want to bother with you afterward.

"Sorry, Senior Brother Jin, I really have a use for them; Junior Brother will take his leave first."

Xu Yang cupped his hands, then turned and walked away quickly.

"Not knowing what's good for you, should we finish him off halfway?" A sinister look flashed on Hu Fengyi's face, and he had the intention to kill.

Lu Ren's expression changed slightly, but he didn't speak, instead looking at Jin Lei.

Gu Haoming: "He has been living in the city for the past few months and hasn't returned to the Profound Heaven Sect; he should have all his wealth on him."

The meaning was that if they killed Xu Yang, they should be able to obtain quite a bit of money.

It was just that the mission hadn't been settled yet, so even if they killed him, they wouldn't be able to get Xu Yang's contribution points.

Jin Lei shook his head: "No, we've already alerted the enemy."

Xu Yang left so decisively, clearly because he was worried that refusing would lead to a fatal disaster, which was why he left quickly.

"He is quite clever!" Hu Fengyi also reacted.

"If he weren't so cautious, how could he have survived for three months? Let's go!"

Jin Lei said, and the few of them stepped out of the Hundred Medicine Hall; when they looked at the street, where was there still a shadow of Xu Yang?

"Safe!"

Xu Yang exerted his Flying Swallow Skill to the limit all the way, and only when he saw the mountain gate of the Profound Heaven Sect did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He had originally planned to buy a set of medicinal herbs for refining Blood-Coagulating Pills and a copper pot before returning to the Profound Heaven Sect, but he simply didn't dare to stay in Qingyang City.

Senior disciples like Jin Lei simply looked down on new disciples like him; refusing him was no different from slapping him in the face; if the place hadn't been wrong, he would have already taken action.

Don't look at the polite discussion; if they really met outside the city, they would definitely not be soft-hearted; for the sake of contribution points, these people even dared to use spiritual herbs to set up a trap, so they were definitely ruthless enough.

"Still not strong enough; if I were strong enough, I wouldn't be explaining in a low voice and then fleeing for my life, but would have slapped them across the face."

"Gu Haoming, Jin Lei, Hu Fengyi, and... Lu Ren."

Muttering the names of several people, he kept them in his heart, showed his identity waist token, successfully entered the Profound Heaven Sect, and came to the Mission Hall to hand over the mission.

This time he didn't encounter that old dog Xiao Hua, and wasn't questioned about the settlement slip being problematic; he successfully obtained one hundred and twenty contribution points.

"Adding the original thirty-nine contribution points, nearly one hundred and sixty contribution points; I wonder what kind of Gang Qi martial art I can exchange for."

Putting away the contribution points, Xu Yang left the Mission Hall.

Just a few steps out, he saw Lin Wei and Xiao Chen walking over, chatting and laughing.

Compared to Lin Wei, Su Man's appearance was much worse, so it was no wonder Xiao Chen was eating from the bowl while looking at the pot.

"Senior Sister Lin, Brother Xiao!" Xu Yang cupped his hands and said.

Xiao Chen nodded with a smile; Xu Yang hadn't told anyone about him and Su Man, so he was very satisfied and naturally wouldn't give Xu Yang a cold face in front of Lin Wei.

Lin Wei smiled: "So it's Junior Brother Xu; I heard that you performed a meritorious deed at the Hundred Medicine Hall and received a reward from the Deacon; you should thank Uncle Xiao properly."

A narrow escape from death, an incident where even people like Jin Lei almost fell, became a good thing in her mouth.

Xu Yang nodded: "I should thank Deacon Xiao; if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to earn so many contribution points this time."

Xiao Chen said: "Uncle Lin and my father are good friends, so taking care of you is what should be done."

A trace of gloom flashed in his eyes; their father and son hadn't expected that what was originally meant to pit Xu Yang would actually allow Xu Yang to perform a meritorious deed.

"Junior Brother still has things to do, I'll take my leave first."

Really not wanting to see the two of them, he found an excuse to leave and returned to the place where outer sect disciples lived.

There was no one in the courtyard; they should all be out doing missions.

Taking off the blade on his back, bringing all his contribution points, he hurried to the Hidden Merit Hall without stopping, and soon saw Deacon Liu from last time.

"This disciple greets Deacon Liu."

Xu Yang cupped his hands and secretly slipped a piece of silver over.

This time he was extremely generous, slipping five taels.

After Deacon Liu weighed it secretly, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and he said: "It's you kid; have you already practiced Qi into Gang and accumulated enough contribution points, wanting to come and exchange for a Gang Qi martial art?"

Xu Yang nodded, cupped his hands and said: "Senior Deacon is sharp, that is exactly the case."

Deacon Liu nodded: "If you have any questions, say them, but I'll tell you first, the second floor of the Hidden Merit Hall is different from the first floor; the martial arts on the first floor are not subdivided, so I can point you in the right direction to take advantage.

The martial arts on the second floor are marked with different contribution points according to their level of refinement, which means I can't point you in any direction; if you want a powerful martial art, just choose those with high contribution points."

So my five taels of silver were spent in vain?

Xu Yang wouldn't give up and said: "Isn't there a cultivation method that is powerful but requires very few contribution points, or one that is very powerful but requires very few contribution points because it is very difficult to practice? If there really isn't one, even a remnant divine art will do; this disciple's comprehension is not bad."

Deacon Liu rolled his eyes and said: "You kid have read too many storybooks, thinking you are the protagonist; the people in the sect are not fools, so how could there be a cultivation method that is powerful but requires very few contribution points?

Every kind of martial art in the Hidden Merit Hall has been practiced by predecessors, so there is no chance for you to pick up a bargain."

Web novels are harmful; I wasted five taels of silver in vain.

Deacon Liu sighed and said: "Fine, tell me what kind of mental method you are practicing, and I will recommend a few martial arts that fit your mental method."

Xu Yang's eyes lit up and he said: "This disciple is practicing the Burden-Bearing Bear Scripture!"

Deacon Liu's eyes brightened: "It's actually the Burden-Bearing Bear Scripture; that's a coincidence, I also practice the Burden-Bearing Bear Scripture; the Burden-Bearing Bear Scripture is from the inside out, practicing both inside and outside, and those who practice it have a giant strength that cannot be compared by those of the same level.

You can choose the Burden-Bearing Xiong Wang Palm, which comes from the same source as the Burden-Bearing Bear Scripture; the two skills come from the same lineage, and in the future, when practiced to a profound level, the two skills will merge, and there is a certain chance to comprehend the martial arts imagery, reaching the supreme realm of moving like a mountain collapse and tsunami, with imagery shaking the heavens."

Xu Yang listened with a surging heart; the Burden-Bearing Bear Scripture actually had a martial art from the same source, which was indeed the first choice; he hadn't thought of it, and it seemed that when Lin Cheng passed the Burden-Bearing Bear Scripture to him, he told him to look for the follow-up mental method of the Burden-Bearing Bear Scripture after he came to the Profound Heaven Sect.

"May I ask Deacon, how many contribution points does this Burden-Bearing Xiong Wang Palm require?" Xu Yang cupped his hands and said.

Deacon Liu narrowed his eyes and said: "Not much, it only requires three hundred contribution points; you wouldn't happen to not even have three hundred contribution points, would you?"

Xu Yang:...

Are three hundred contribution points easy to earn?

Among the outer sect disciples of this batch, his own contribution points should be considered among the best.

Earning three hundred contribution points in less than half a year, averaging over fifty contribution points per month; disciples with Gang Qi at Minor Success probably couldn't earn that much, unless they had a background.

"Alright, your five taels of silver are only enough to answer this question; I will give you an extra half an hour, totaling one hour, you can choose slowly."

"This disciple thanks Deacon Liu!" Xu Yang cupped his hands.

The five taels of silver weren't spent in vain; he got a piece of news and an extra half hour of selection time.

But at this moment, he was a bit hesitant, not knowing whether to continue exchanging or save the contribution points to exchange for the Burden-Bearing Xiong Wang Palm later.
