Chapter 134: The Hand-Chopping Samsara Robbery

~17 min read 3,285 words

Several people gathered on Qian Chen's void cloud platform and found that the void cloud platform exchange could also be used universally, and there was no need to return to their own personal space.

Si Qingguo suggested: "This time it was just a main mission, and the reward was 6 moral points. Everyone should be able to exchange for some things they need. Since everyone is already a team, we can refer to each other. Having someone to check for omissions on the side is the role of Dao companions and fellow Daoists."

She spoke clearly and logically, which was probably not something she thought of herself.

It was a suggestion based on her father's experience.

Since it was the experience of an old senior in the Samsara Land, everyone accepted it one after another.

This not only gathered everyone's insights and checked for omissions, but also increased the understanding of each other's divine abilities and magic spells.

Ning Qingchen said happily: "I just found out that Feng Shi also has rewards for participating in completing the mission. It's just that it has been hiding it from me before, secretly exchanging for spiritual food!"

"This time I helped it collect the merit points, and I will use them to exchange for things beneficial to its strength!"

In the past, the merit points of one person were very difficult to support two cultivators.

This time, she found Feng Shi's private money, and it was finally a bit more affluent.

Qian Chen looked at the Big Huang Ji with pity when he heard this. No wonder it was dejected and low-spirited when he came in, like a defeated chicken. Now the chicken crown was still drooping, making people feel sympathetic.

Qian Chen had to comfort it: "The things of the Lord of Samsara are good, but the price is a bit pitted... I am proficient in alchemy. If there is any need for spiritual pills or spiritual medicines, you can come to me to exchange!"

The Big Huang Ji immediately soared, struggling in Ning Qingchen's arms, desperately wanting to go to Qian Chen.

The Ear-Dao God jumped out from Qian Chen's collar, shouting ah ah ah, waving a spiritual needle in his hand, wanting to repel this chicken. This was a small gadget Qian Chen refined while refining his life-bound flying sword, with only four layers of seals, and could only prick eyes. Even if the Ear-Dao God used it, he couldn't hurt anyone's vital points.

The Big Huang Ji showed disdain, as if saying: "Playing with needles in front of me?"

Golden light flashed in its eyes, and the Ear-Dao God was immediately frightened and retracted into Qian Chen's collar, clutching his collar and complaining.

The Gold and Silver Children also shared a common hatred, protecting the red-skinned gourd. This was the lifeline of a nest of little monsters, and they would never allow outsiders to peek.

Ning Qingchen held the Big Huang Ji that kept struggling, her face flushed, and she could only say to Qian Chen: "Qian Yan Shixiong, exchange some spiritual pills that Feng Shi likes to eat for me! How many merit points?"

Qian Chen shook his head slightly and smiled: "Your merit points are not affluent either. It just so happens that you are in Great Wei, and the customs and medicinal materials are different from Great Jin, so search for some spiritual medicines for me."

He took a jade bottle, poured more than ten spiritual pills and sent them over. Seeing the jade bottle being pulled by Ning Qingchen, the Big Huang Ji became docile, quiet as a chicken, and the years were quiet!

Ning Qingchen sighed helplessly. Feng Shi was very sensible and obedient most of the time, and only when it met Qian Yan Shixiong, it was very disobedient...

The Big Huang Ji heard the meaning of her sigh, and a trace of essence flowed in its eyes.

This woman is good at everything, but she is too shy! If it doesn't take the initiative, where can it get spiritual pills to eat? Losing face, what is face? It's not its own face, and what is the face of a chicken? Can it be exchanged for food? I don't know how good the quality of this spiritual pill is, not to mention impurities, there is very little fire energy... If it were exchanged for ordinary loose cultivators, if losing face could exchange for spiritual pills, they could lose their face from the Wei capital to the Jin capital...

If losing face couldn't exchange for spiritual pills, they could swarm up and refine the rumor-monger into a pill!

Aristocratic family temper! The Big Huang Ji was very disdainful...

Ning Qingchen glanced at those spiritual pills and knew that besides the Jade Food Pill and Pure Yang Pill that Feng Shi liked to eat, there were also Purple Cloud Nourishing Qi Pill and Dragon Spring Body-Washing Pill suitable for herself. It could be seen that Qian Chen intended to subsidize her. She was still a bit shy, not because of any love between men and women, but because of the 'shyness' of her purse when involving large sums of money.

Qian Chen's handwriting like this, placed in an aristocratic family, would be enough to make people dizzy with money... At least for the small aristocratic family that Ning Qingchen came from, it could be smashed until the head of the family knelt down!

Even Yan Shu and Si Qingguo came from famous families.

One is a Shaoqing sword cultivator, and the products of the East Sea are all available. How many spiritual medicines and materials do the three thousand islands overseas give to Shaoqing every year? Shaoqing sword cultivators specialize in swords. Except for the refining materials that are divided early every year, the rest are piled up in the warehouse.

Seeing that Qian Chen needed spirit medicine, Yan Shu waved his hand and replied: "Junior Qian Yan Shixiong is a true successor of the Supreme Dao, so naturally he is skilled in alchemy. The Supreme Dao often practices non-action, following one's nature, and does not like to exhaustively take from all things. These external cultivation items are indeed a bit scarce; in that case, next time I will bring a pouch of spirit medicine over. As long as Qian Shidi does not mind the trouble, there will be as much as you need!"

Si Qingguo also reached out to ask Qian Chen for a few spiritual pills, watched the quality, and praised: "This is a top-grade qi pill!"

"The origin qi pill has the most gentle medicinal properties and the least impurities, suitable for daily cultivation. It is much better than the pills my father prepared for me! The Taishang Dao is indeed the Taishang Dao, Qian Yan Shixiong, prepare some for me too. I will give you the pill recipe, and you can list whatever you want to exchange."

Qian Chen took the list, glanced at it, and smiled: "You are going to tire me to death! Delete half of it! It's okay for me to supply what you need, but don't bring the Righteous One and Shaoqing Sect along. I can't afford that!"

Good guy, this took away half of his inventory.

Si Qingguo asked in confusion: "This is just for me alone!"

The few people on the side were silent...

Qian Chen was puzzled: "Ning Ning Shimei Si, although the Righteous One has a wide jurisdiction and abundant materials, it also has a big family and a big business, and I heard that the supply of pills to local Dao academies is a bit insufficient. Why is Ning Ning Shimei so rich... can you teach me?"

"Oh! The Righteous One is quite poor, but my father is proficient in the art of dharma seals and manages the talismans of the three mountains. A stamp of the dharma seal is a talisman. Thirty percent of the talismans of major sects in the Wei and Jin countries are supplied by my father. Talismans are money... If you exchange with spiritual pills, they are harder currency than talismans, and there is nothing you can't exchange for?"

Hearing that he managed the talismans of the three mountains, Yan Shu and Ning Qingchen both tightened their faces, and they all shouted in their hearts: "This person's father is a Zhang Tian Shi!"

"I just don't know which Zhang Tian Shi of the Dao Sect today it is?"

Only Qian Chen gradually became autistic and dejected: "Not necessarily... some people just don't know the goods!"

In this day and age, suppliers are not as good as channel merchants. Those who print banknotes are just workers, and the rich are still the banks! Managing the talismans of

Ning Qingchen counted her own assets and discovered that although her magic tools were poorer than those of Qian Chen and the others, she had a Purple Haze Flying Sword and the Demon-Refining True Fire; she only lacked a defensive magic tool. Master Feng also had the Demon-Breaking Golden Needle. To be honest, the difficulty of this mission was extremely high; if Qian Chen had not been there, no matter how many cultivators below the Core Formation stage came, they would all be dead!

It is possible that the Lord of Samsara also factored in Miaokong's power, which is why such a difficult mission was arranged.

Who would have expected that this fellow Miaokong was here to increase the difficulty?

However, the harvest could be called bountiful. Those seven Demon-Subduing Treasures—the Profound Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword is a magic treasure-grade flying sword, surpassing the other six Demon-Subduing magic tools combined, and the other six Demon-Subduing magic tools are also supreme-grade with complete seals. It is just that some had their power diminished after being worn down by the Blood Demon's subordinates; they will be fine after being slowly refined in the future.

Calculated this way, everyone's magic tools are up to par. There is actually no need for reinforcement.

"I will redeem this Eight-Trigrams Cloud-Light Kerchief and this Daoist book, the 'Purple Haze Baodu Zhenjing'! I once obtained the inheritance of a female cultivator from the Cloud Haze Sect, and the 'Purple Haze Baodu Zhenjing' happens to be one of the six true transmissions of the Cloud Haze Sect. It matches my foundation perfectly."

Hearing this, Qian Chen nodded slightly; Ning Qingchen truly knew how to make trade-offs.

In the land of Samsara, choosing the right things is more important than choosing powerful things. The real benefit of the land of Samsara is not that prices are cheap; on the contrary, except for Daoist books, the things here are slightly deceptive. But what is rare is that the variety is complete... In this world, there are too many things that money cannot buy! This is the most valuable part of the redemption list!

As for the Eight-Trigrams Cloud-Light Kerchief, upon hearing the name, Qian Chen knew it was reliable.

This is another name in the Supreme style; generally, the seals will not be bad.

It is just that the Eight-Trigrams Cloud-Light Kerchief costs five merits. After redemption, it is a white silk kerchief, like clouds and mist, with Eight-Trigrams spirit patterns appearing on it; it is also a magic tool very suitable for the Cloud Haze Sect's magic power. Held in Ning Qingchen's hands, it was like cradling a mass of mist. Testing it slightly, it transformed into a thin mist around her.

Yan Shu used two parts of his strength to control his sword, feeling that it was extremely tough to the touch and could not be easily slashed open.

The "Purple Haze Baodu Zhenjing" does not require a buyout, costing only one merit.

It transformed into a streak of purple light and entered Ning Qingchen's brow.

Si Qingguo flipped through the redemption list and said distressingly: "I feel like I don't lack anything. My natal talisman's heat is insufficient, the sequence of receiving the talisman has not yet been completed, and I am still far from a natal true talisman! I'd better keep the merits for emergencies!"

Saying this, she closed the redemption list.

Yan Shu and Qian Chen both kept their expressions unchanged; the troubles of the rich are just this simple, unadorned, and boring!

Qian Chen said: "I killed the Blood Demon and have a bounty of one hundred merits; I estimate I won't need that much. If you want to redeem something and are short of funds for a moment, I can lend you some."

He opened the redemption list and said: "Although the Heavenly Luo San's essence is high, the number of seal layers is a bit low. I plan to ask the Lord of Samsara to help improve it by a few levels. And that Scorched-Tail Zither; this kind of wooden magic treasure cannot be refined with fire, so improving the seals can only be done through bitter refinement. I happen to lack accumulation, so since there is a shortcut like the Lord of Samsara, I will make use of it for the time being!"

Qian Chen counted on his fingers; not counting the gradually outdated Spirit Light Mirror, Soul-Binding Lock, and Seven-Sha Banner, the magic tools Qian Chen could bring out included the Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeves, the Supreme Wish-Fulfilling treasure obtained from the Snake Demon, as well as the Heavenly Luo San, the Clear Vast Sword, and the Scorched-Tail Zither that he was about to ask the Lord of Samsara to refine.

Of course, his most effective killing treasure in hand was still his natal flying sword.

It is quite magical that Qian Chen's sword techniques and sword scriptures were actually learned from Yan Shu during this Samsara mission.

Now, Qian Chen's natal flying sword has instead surpassed Yan Shu's, embarking on the path of ancient sword cultivators.

"These magic tools, plus the two divine weapons—the Self-Attachment Blade and the Sentiment Sword—finally give me a sliver of a sense of security. I am that 'Treasure-Laden Boy' again!"

Not counting the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Tianmo Sheli, Qian Chen's net worth was enough to rival Si Qingguo's.

He could be called the wealthiest type of cultivator in the Penetrating the Law realm... the kind people call a 'second-generation immortal'.

"Am I that legendary 'first-generation immortal' whose ability is approximately equal to zero outside of his capabilities?" Qian Chen thought with quite a bit of self-satisfaction.

He had about a hundred merits in his pouch, and his boldness surged; his finger slid across the redemption list, and those magic tools he had once favored were no longer worth a second glance!

"Although I don't lack fundamental cultivation methods, after the Louguan Sect suffered a calamity, I lack the accumulation of practiced divine abilities and spells... That 'Soundless Divine Thunder' has quite a few merits; I wish to re-refine it. I need to familiarize myself with thunder techniques. Yan Shixiong Brothers and Junior Sisters, do you have any recommendations?"

Yan Shu pondered for a while and said: "There are quite a few sects proficient in thunder techniques; the Supreme, Jade, and Clear Divine Thunders have extraordinary power, and there is even the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder..."

Qian Chen unfolded the redemption list and pointed to the ten-thousand-merit label under the Three Pure Divine Thunders: "Not to mention that the Three Pure Divine Thunders are supreme thunder techniques that can only be cultivated by Primordial Spirit True Immortals, Yan Yan Shixiong, do I look like I can afford to redeem them?"

Qian Chen complained inwardly: "Besides, I already know how to cultivate the Clear Divine Thunder! It's just that I can't refine it."

"The threshold for the first stage is to sense the Three Pure Heavens and draw in the Innate Clear Qi; even if I redeemed it, if I can't sense the Three Pure Heavens, I'd just be staring blankly... This is a trap!" Qian Chen gasped inwardly. Taking this as a warning, how many traps are waiting among those divine abilities that seem redeemable at will? It is truly chilling.

Qian Chen crossed all demonic and Buddhist divine abilities off his redemption list!

After all, the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Tianmo Sheli seems to have divine abilities formed naturally!

Si Qingguo said directly: "Don't even consider the Three Pure Divine Thunders, Purple Firmament Thunder, Jade Pivot Thunder, Jade Mansion Thunder, Jade Pillar Thunder, North Pole Thunder, Purple Micro Pivot Thunder, Divine Firmament Thunder, Immortal Capital Thunder, Supreme Thunder, or Purple Mansion Thunder; what Qian Yan Shixiong needs is basic thunder techniques. The Divine Firmament Sect has thirty-six types of supreme thunder techniques and is the immortal sect with the highest achievements in thunder techniques."

"Choosing their basic thunder techniques is the most appropriate!"

Having said that, she chose the "Divine Firmament Five Thunders Scripture" for Qian Chen, which is the Five Thunders Baodu Zhenjing that records the basics of thunder techniques: Heavenly Thunder, Earth Thunder, Water Thunder, Fire Thunder, and Divine Thunder.

It is excellent for an introduction to thunder techniques.

This scripture cost only one thousand merits, so Qian Chen did not hesitate and accepted it directly, then began flipping through other divine abilities and spells.

Selecting the column for the integration of law and martial arts, while searching for suitable techniques for his blade and sword, Qian Chen conveniently redeemed a copy of "True Explanation of the Hunyuan Sword Scripture," which is the essence of this widely circulated sword technique after continuous improvement and supplementation. The Lord of Samsara collects various versions, and the price is quite inexpensive... only five merits.

Great value... Buy it!

Not only does it have flying sword techniques, but it also has close-quarters martial arts sword techniques; one price, double the harvest!

"Supreme Yin Sentiment-Slaying Blade Scripture"?

Isn't this the blade scripture of the notorious Ice Soul Ancient Shendao of the Guanghan Palace?

Cold sweat broke out on Qian Chen's back, and he hurriedly wanted to flip past this page, but while flipping, he couldn't help but buy this blade technique scripture worth ten merits... Since I've already bought the Guanghan Palace's Supreme Yin Blade Scripture, I might as well buy the Great Brightness Palace's Ice Soul Cold Light Sword Technique too! It's only three merits anyway... "

"And a furnace... I'm just missing a good furnace!"

"Red Sun Divine Furnace, only two merits, it doesn't match my alchemy skills... Sigh! This one is good, the Supreme Eight-Scenery Furnace; although it is a knock-off modeled after the Supreme Eight-Trigrams Furnace, one look and I know it came from the hands of a Yan Yan Shixiong from the Tushita Palace; the seals must be correct. Thirty merits... Cheap! This is only one-third of a Blood Demon."

Unknowingly, Qian Chen looked back.

Excluding the twenty merits reserved for refining the Scorched-Tail Zither and the Heavenly Luo San, his own merits were left in the pitiful double digits, and the first digit was still a one...

"I have a sword that can sever ignorance and greed!"

Silently reciting Patriarch Lu's "Hand-Chopping True Formula," Qian Chen hurriedly closed the redemption list.

He kept suggesting to himself: "These are all useful, these are all things I will need... Damn, this righteous path technique is a loss; the demonic path gives supreme magic as soon as you enter, and a primitive god-demon body directly gives five methods for refining demonic magic treasures—what Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Blood-Transforming Ancient Shendao, what 'Great Strength White Bone God-Demon Scripture', what 'Moon Demon Painted Skin Scripture', what 'Blood Sea Demon Scripture', what 'Heavenly Ghost Achievement Scripture'... If the righteous path continues like this, how can it compete with the demonic path for talent?"

Qian Chen was heartbroken... deeply worried for the righteous path.
