Chapter 87: Merit and Exchange! Kou Ming’s Reminder!(1)
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
There were also missions outside of the four categories, but the number was very small. Kou Ming only briefly mentioned them.
After listening to Kou Ming’s explanation, Lin Shen had a rough idea of how to accept the mission in the future.
Right after that,
Kou Ming brought Lin Shen to another hall on the right side of the corridor.
“This is a place to exchange resources.”
Kou Ming strode to a cabinet and knocked on it.
“Please give me an exchange list.”
The person standing behind the cabinet immediately handed over a list.
Kou Ming handed it to Lin Shen.
“Pills, weapons, enchanted armaments, martial techniques, talismans, rare herbs… Basically, all the resources we need for cultivation can be found here. As long as you have enough merit points, you don’t have to worry about lacking cultivation resources in the academy!”
Lin Shen took the list and flipped through it carefully.
The first was the pill portion.
Essence Tempering Pill, 4 Merit Points/Bottle (12 pieces).
Origin Pills, 6 Merit Points/Bottle (12 pieces)
Condensing Pills, 36 Merit Points/Bottle (12 pieces)
Prime Pills, 50 Merit Points/Piece
“A bottle of Condensing Pills in the True Martial Pavilion is priced at 360,000 spirit coins. In that case, one merit point is worth about 10,000 spirit coins!”
Lin Shen couldn’t help but click his tongue.
In the mission he saw just now, the lowest reward was 30 merit points, which was a total of 300,000 spirit coins!
Thinking about how he had obtained a treasure worth 3,000,000 spirit coins in a day, Lin Shen couldn’t help but sigh.
Just two months ago, he was worried about a few thousand spirit coins.
However, as his strength increased, the amount of money he came into contact with became larger and larger. Now, he had assets that were worth millions.
Moreover, any mission he completed would earn him hundreds of thousands of spirit coins.
In the past, it would have been unimaginable.
“As expected, as my cultivation level rises, money becomes just a number.”
Calming himself down, Lin Shen continued reading.
After the pills were the weapons.
Excellent grade long saber/sword (Ordinary), 5 Merit Points/piece.
Hundred Refinement grade long saber/sword (Ordinary), 30 Merit Points/piece.
Storage jade plate, 50 merit points/piece.
Seven Stars Sword (Ordinary/Talisman Weapon), one minor merit/piece
Storage bag (enchanted armament), 3 minor merit/piece.
Bind Yang Robe (enchanted armament), five minor merits/set
Three Yang Talisman Sword (enchanted armament), ten minor merits/piece.
Lin Shen was dazzled by the dense array of weapons and enchanted armaments. There were probably hundreds of them!
He even saw the Three Suns Talisman Sword inside!
Lin Shen really wanted this powerful enchanted armament that could withstand Meltdown.
Unfortunately, the Three Yang Talisman Sword could only be exchanged for ten minor merits.
Judging from the mission reward just now, ten minor merits was clearly not a small amount. Lin Shen could only temporarily suppress is desire.
Apart from the weapons and enchanted armaments listed on the list, there were also options to customize weapons.
Spears, whips, axes, ropes, hammers, all kinds of hidden weapons… As long as one could afford to pay the merits, Artifact Pavilion could ustomize the weapons you needed.
Of course, such customized weapons were often expensive.
Therefore, unless they cultivated special martial techniques, most disciples were more inclined to use the standard weapons on the list. Lin Shen continued reading.
When he flipped to the next page, his eyes lit up.
Moving Star Steps, two minor merits.
Burning Cloud Saber, three minor merits.
Supreme Yang Swordplay, four minor merits.
Vajra Samadhi Fist, five minor merits.
Crimson Cloud Physical Enhancement, seven minor merits.
Meltdown, eight minor merits.
Essence Sword Finger, ten minor merits.
Compared to pills or enchanted armaments, the exchange conditions for martial techniques were clearly higher.
Lin Shen was also surprised to discover that Meltdown was among them.
Moreover, the exchange requirement was as high as eight minor merits. It was even more expensive than enchanted armaments like the Bind Yang Gown. It was almost comparable to the Three Yang Talisman Sword!
As he continued reading, Lin Shen’s eyes lit up.
Golden Crow Scripture, one medium merit!
Behind the martial techniques and cultivation techniques on the list, there were descriptions of their specific power, cultivation conditions, and so on written in small fonts.
The cultivation condition of the Golden Crow Scripture happened to be the Long Breath Stage.
This was a cultivation technique at the Long Breath Stage!
“Finally found it!”
Lin Shen was delighted.
After advancing to the Long Breath Stage, the efficiency of the Origin Breathing Technique had greatly decreased. Back then, Lin Shen had wanted to enter the Nine Yang Academy and looked for cultivation techniques at the Long Breath Stage.
Fortunately, the results didn’t disappoint him. There was indeed a Long Breath Stage cultivation technique in the Nine Yang Academy that could be exchanged for!
However, one medium merit…
Lin Shen pondered for a moment and raised his head to ask Kou Ming for guidance.
“Senior Brother Kou, is there any explanation for the merits?”
Kou Ming smiled and explained patiently,
“From low to high, merits are divided into merit points, minor merit, medium merit, and major merit. The rarer the item, the higher the merit level needed to exchange for it.
“Higher merits can be exchanged for lower merits in a ratio of 1:10. For example, one major merit can be exchanged into ten medium merits.
It’s the same with medium merits and minor merits. However, minor merits and merit points are an exception. A minor merit can be exchanged into 100 merit points.
“Of course, it’s limited to exchanging upper-level merit points for lower-level merit points. The reverse is not possible.”
Lin Shen was enlightened, and then his heart skipped a beat.
In that case, Meltdown’s eight minor merits were worth eight million spirit coins!
It turned out that Tian Dian had given him a generous gift!
Lin Shen couldn’t help but sigh.
Unfortunately, Nine Yang Academy prohibited disciples from privately teaching martial techniques. Otherwise, he might be able to earn a small fortune by peddling Meltdown manual.
At this moment, Kou Ming suddenly chuckled and asked,
“Junior Brother Lin, do you want to exchange for the Golden Crow Scripture?”
Lin Shen’s expression changed. He nodded and said, “That’s right. Does Senior Brother have any advice for me?”
“Not really.”
Kou Ming laughed.
“Every disciple who advances to the Long Breath Stage in the academy can obtain the Golden Crow Scripture for free. There’s no need to waste merit points in exchange for it..”
