Chapter 85 Merit and Redemption! Kou Ming's Reminder!
Chapter 85 Merit and redemption! Kou Ming’s reminder!
There are also tasks outside these four categories, but the number is very small. Kou Ming mentioned them and dismissed them.
After listening to Kou Ming's story, Lin Shen had a rough idea of how to take on tasks in the future.
Followed by.
Kou Ming took Lin Shen to another hall on the right side of the corridor.
"This is the place to exchange resources."
Kou Ming strode to a cabinet and knocked on the cabinet.
"Please give me a redemption list."
The person standing behind the cabinet immediately handed over a list.
Kou Ming handed it to Lin Shen.
"Elixirs, weapons, magic weapons, martial arts, talismans, and rare herbs. Basically, all the resources we need for cultivation can be found here. As long as you have enough merit, you don't have to worry about the lack of cultivation resources in the Taoist temple.
!”
Lin Shen took the list and read it carefully.
First is the elixir part.
Que Yuan Dan, four merit points/bottle (twelve pieces)
Zhengyuan Dan, six merit points/bottle (twelve pieces)
"A bottle of Condensation Pill in Zhenwu Pavilion costs 360,000 spirit coins. Calculating this, one merit point is worth about 10,000 spirit coins!"
Lin Shen couldn't help but secretly sighed.
Among the missions he saw just now, the one with the lowest reward had thirty merit points, which converted into spiritual coins was a full three hundred thousand!
Thinking that he had acquired treasures worth three million spiritual coins today, Lin Shen couldn't help but sigh.
Just two months ago, he was still worrying about thousands of spiritual coins.
But as his strength increased, the amount of money he came into contact with became larger and larger, and now he has a net worth of millions.
And if you complete any task, you can earn hundreds of thousands in income.
It was simply unimaginable before.
"Sure enough, when you reach the end of your practice, money is just a number."
After calming down, Lin Shen continued to look down.
After the elixir comes the weapons part.
Excellent grade long knife/sword (ordinary grade), five merit points/piece
Seven-star sword (ordinary product/talisman weapon), a small skill/width
Storage bag (magic weapon), three small skills/piece
Shuyang robe (magic weapon), five small skills/set
Sanyang Talisman Sword (magic weapon), ten small skills/piece
Lin Shen was dazzled by the densely packed weapons and magic weapons. At a rough count, there were probably hundreds of them!
He even saw the Sanyang Talisman Sword inside!
Lin Shen was jealous of this powerful magic weapon that could withstand the Melting Hand.
It's a pity that the Sanyang Talisman Sword requires ten small steps of skill to exchange.
Judging from the rewards from the mission just now, it was obvious that Ten Little Merits was not a small sum, so Lin Shen had no choice but to temporarily suppress his desire.
In addition to the weapons and magic weapons listed above, there are also options for customizing weapons on the list.
Guns, whips, axes, ropes, hammers, and all kinds of hidden weapons. As long as you can afford the merit, Qiao Gong Pavilion can customize the weapons you need.
Of course, such customized weapons are often expensive.
Therefore, unless they have practiced special martial arts, most disciples prefer to use the standard weapons on the list.
Lin Shen continued to look down.
After turning to the next page, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Star moves, two small skills
Burning Cloud Sword, Three Small Skills
Yang Ji Sword Technique, Four Small Skills
Vajra Samadhi Fist, Five Small Skills
Chiyun horizontal training, seven small skills
Molten Soldier, Eight Small Skills
Qi sword finger, ten small skills
Compared with elixirs or magical weapons, the exchange conditions for martial arts are significantly higher.
Lin Shen was also surprised to find that the Weapon Melter was among them.
Moreover, the exchange demand is as high as eight small skills, which is more expensive than magical weapons such as Shuyang Robe, and is almost as expensive as the Sanyang Talisman Sword!
Continuing to look down, Lin Shen's eyes suddenly lit up.
Golden Crow Sutra, one middle power!
Behind the martial arts skills on the list, there are small characters describing the specific power, training conditions, etc.
The cultivation conditions of the Golden Crow Sutra are exactly the cultivation level of Long Breath Realm.
This is a spiritual cultivation method at the long-breath level!
"Finally found it!"
Lin Shen felt happy.
After being promoted to the Long Breath Realm, the efficiency of the Zhengyuan Breathing Technique was greatly reduced. At that time, Lin Shen thought of entering Jiuyang Taoist Academy and then looking for the cultivation method at the Long Breath Realm level.
Fortunately, the result did not disappoint him. There was indeed a Long Breath Realm Heart Technique available for redemption in Jiuyang Taoist Academy!
Just this one hit
Lin Shen pondered slightly and raised his head to ask Kou Ming for advice.
"Senior Brother Kou, is there any explanation for this meritorious service?"
Kou Ming smiled and patiently explained:
"The order of merit from low to high is merit points, small merit, medium merit and high merit. The rarer the item, the higher the merit level required for redemption."
"Higher-level merit can be exchanged for lower-level merit at a ratio of one to ten. For example, a high-level merit can be exchanged for ten medium-level merits, and the same can be done for medium-level merits. However, small merits and merit points are exceptions. A small amount of merit can be exchanged for a hundred
Points of merit.”
"Of course, it's limited to the exchange of merit from a higher level for merit from a lower level, not the other way around."
Lin Shen suddenly realized, and immediately his heart moved.
Calculated in this way, the Eight Minor Skills of Melting Soldiers is equivalent to eight million spirit coins!
I'm sorry Tian Dian gave him such a great gift!
Lin Shen couldn't help but sigh secretly.
It's a pity that Jiuyang Taoist Academy prohibits its disciples from receiving martial arts lessons in private, otherwise they might be able to make a lot of money by selling the Secret Manual of Weapon Melting Hand.
At this time, Kou Ming suddenly smiled and asked:
"Junior Brother Lin wants to exchange the Golden Crow Sutra?"
Lin Shen's expression changed, he nodded and said, "Yes, senior brother, do you have any advice?"
"Guidance is out of the question."
Kou Ming laughed.
"Every disciple in the Taoist Academy who is promoted to the Long Breath Realm can obtain the Golden Crow Scripture secret book for free, without wasting merit in exchange."
Lin Shen was stunned, pointed at the list and said in surprise:
"Then up here."
"That is for the Qi Dynasty Realm disciples to redeem. Some disciples feel that they cannot persist until graduation, so they will work hard to earn merits and exchange them for the Golden Crow Sutra so that they can continue to practice after leaving the Taoist Academy and one day being promoted to the Long Breath Realm."
"That's it." Lin Shen suddenly realized.
After that, he looked through lists such as talismans, rare and exotic herbs, etc.
Not surprisingly, there are also countless varieties.
There were many things among them that Lin Shen was very excited to see.
But when he saw the merits required for redemption later, Lin Shen shook his head helplessly, suppressed the heat in his heart, and looked away.
It took more than ten minutes for Lin Shen to briefly browse the list until he had a clear idea.
"By the way, I almost forgot."
Kou Ming suddenly patted his forehead and said with a smile:
"Junior Brother Lin, you are now a Xuan-level disciple. According to the regulations of the Taoist Academy, you can get three minor skills every month. This is one of the benefits of a Xuan-level disciple."
Three small achievements!
Lin Shen was secretly speechless.
This is three million spirit coins!
And that’s just one of the benefits!
Jiuyang Taoist Temple is really rich!
"Senior Brother Kou, how are the welfare of other levels of disciples?"
"Unlevel disciples can get thirty merit points every month, yellow level disciples can get one small merit point per month, and heaven level disciples and earth level disciples can get one medium merit point and five small merit points per month respectively."
Lin Shen nodded in understanding.
The gap between the benefits of each level is not small.
It may not seem obvious in a month or two, but over the course of a whole year, there is a resource gap of dozens of small efforts!
No wonder so many disciples are so eager to climb up!
"You need an identity token to exchange resources. Let's go, Junior Brother Lin. I will take you to get the identity token now."
The two then left the Court of Merit.
On the way, when passing by a patchwork of wooden buildings built against the mountain, Kou Ming raised his finger and said:
"Junior brother Lin, that is the living area of the disciples!"
Lin Shen looked around and realized that although the wooden buildings were not luxurious, they were elegant and had an antique feel.
And I don’t know if it was his illusion, but I always felt that it looked more beautiful than other places. After looking at it for a long time, I actually felt relaxed and happy.
Noticing Lin Shen's surprise, Kou Ming explained with a smile:
"The wooden buildings in that place are all equipped with arrays, including spirit gathering array, silent array, pure heart array, house-suppressing array and many other arrays. They have many effects such as improving cultivation efficiency, sound insulation, protection, calming the mind and so on. In terms of spiritual energy
The concentration is enough to reach the level of a monastery!"
Lin Shen looked moved when he heard this.
The places where practitioners practice are collectively called caves.
According to the amount of Qi veins and spiritual energy and the concentration of spiritual energy, from high to low, it can be divided into six levels: Cave Heaven, Blessed Land, Zhen Palace, Qi Mansion, Xuan Lu and Jingshe.
Among them, the Cave Heaven Blessed Land is extremely rare and is naturally nurtured by the earth. It cannot be created without human effort.
No matter how powerful a monk is, his power can only be transferred, but he cannot create a paradise out of thin air.
Anywhere in the heavenly paradise can be used to build a sect out of thin air.
Therefore, every time a new paradise was discovered in history, it would often lead to several big cities fighting each other, with rivers of blood flowing, and countless casualties.
As far as Lin Shen knew, the headquarters of the three major sects in Linlong City were located in the Three Blessed Lands.
As for the space where Jiuyang Taoist Temple is located, although it is called the Dongtian Blessed Land by the disciples, it is actually just a Qi Mansion, not even a real palace, let alone the Dongtian Blessed Land.
Even so, Jiuyang Taoist Temple is already a holy place of cultivation that many practitioners yearn for.
Every cave is precious.
Even the lowest-grade monastery is like a panacea to practitioners below monks!
It’s still the kind that works for a long time!
When he thought that the hundreds of wooden buildings in the distance were all monasteries, Lin Shen couldn't help but secretly sighed, and once again realized the wealth and wealth of Jiuyang Taoist Temple.
"According to the concentration of spiritual energy, the monasteries there are divided into four levels: A, B, C and D. The higher the disciple's level, the higher the level of the monastery they can be assigned to. According to the regulations, Xuan level disciples can be assigned to live in a C-class monastery."
Having said this, Kou Ming smiled.
"Of course, the Taoist Academy does not force its disciples to live here. They can also live outside."
Lin Shen laughed and shook his head.
Who would want to live outside when there is a cave that can improve the efficiency of cultivation?
Unless they are the children of top aristocratic families who have the conditions to obtain a better cultivation environment.
Kou Ming obviously knew which one Lin Shen would choose, so he just said it casually, smiled and continued to lead the way.
Not long after.
The two arrived at a courtyard where people were coming and going.
Looking around, there is a plaque hanging on the top of the courtyard gate, with the three characters "House of Internal Affairs" written on it.
Everywhere you can see disciples wearing Taoist robes rushing in and out.
When I walked into the door, I happened to pass by a man with a simple and honest appearance, who looked to be about thirty years old.
Upon seeing this, Kou Ming quickly took a few steps forward and stopped the man.
"Old Tao, wait a minute!"
The man looked up and saw Kou Ming, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Kou, how come you have time to come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Is it possible that you are here to inspect us hard-working people?"
Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he was very familiar with Kou Ming.
"What are you talking about?"
Kou Ming smiled and cursed, and introduced Lin Shen next to him.
"This is Junior Brother Lin. He just came to the Taoist Academy to report today. He is now a Xuan-level disciple."
Lao Tao listened with a smile at first, but when he heard the last sentence, his smile suddenly stopped and he looked at Kou Ming in shock.
"Xuan, a Xuan-level disciple?"
I just came to the Taoist Academy to report today, that is, I am a new student.
But how could the new student be a Xuan-level disciple?
Did Kou Ming say something wrong, or was he hallucinating?
"You're right, he's a Xuan-level disciple!"
Kou Ming chuckled, obviously very satisfied with Lao Tao's surprise.
"Junior Brother Lin defeated Lao Sheng in the guidance battle and performed so well that the Master of the Division personally ordered him to be promoted to a Xuan-level disciple!"
Old Tao was immediately in awe, and when he looked at Lin Shen again, his expression was filled with the slightest hint of flattery and attentiveness.
The genius that the Head of the Division values is definitely one with a bright future and cannot be neglected!
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Lin. It's our first time meeting you. Please give me some advice. My name is Tao Zongbao. You can just call me Lao Tao!"
"You're welcome, just call me Lin Shen." Lin Shen cupped his hand.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Kou Ming went straight to the topic.
"Old Tao, I brought Junior Brother Lin here to collect his identity token and Taoist robe. In addition, Junior Brother Lin has been promoted to the Long Breath Realm. You can take a copy of the Golden Crow Sutra by the way."
Tao Zongbao almost bit his tongue when he heard this and couldn't help but swallow.
A new life in the Long Rest Realm?
Darling, no wonder you were promoted to a Xuan-level disciple by the order of the Siyuan Master himself!
Don’t be too outrageous in your qualifications!
Thinking of this, Tao Zongbao did not dare to neglect, and quickly asked someone to bring the things over.
Not long after.
Three sets of Taoist robes, an identity token of unknown material, a jade talisman of the same size, and a secret book with a blue background and gold thread and three characters of the Golden Crow Sutra were handed into Lin Shen's hands.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, your three minor skills for this month have been distributed. With your identity token, you can go to the Merit Academy at any time to redeem it for cultivation resources."
"And this, this is the talisman of No. Bing171 Jingshe. Only with this talisman can you open the Jingshe. I have already arranged for people to clean it, and all the furniture and materials are available."
"If you, Taoist friend Lin, still need anything in the future, feel free to come to me, Old Tao. As long as I can do it, I won't hesitate!" Tao Zongbao patted his chest and said with a smile.
Lin Shen thanked him and put everything away.
After walking out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Kou Ming smiled and said:
"Old Tao is a deacon of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although his status is not high, he is an old man of the Taoist Temple. He has a wide network of contacts. If you can't solve big problems, you can definitely go to him for small things. If you encounter something difficult to solve in the future, you can ask Lao Tao to help.
helper."
Lin Shen's heart moved slightly, and he calmly nodded and said with a smile: "I understand."
"Okay, my mission has been completed, and I won't disturb you anymore."
Having said this, Kou Ming hesitated for a moment, then suddenly lowered his voice and said:
"Junior brother Lin, let me remind you that the Taoist level challenge is held every three months, and the latest level challenge just ended five days ago, and there are still less than three months until the next one."
"Given your current situation, there must be many people who are already targeting you, waiting for the level challenge to seize your place as a Xuan-level disciple. You must be prepared!"
Lin Shen looked calm and nodded solemnly.
"I understand, thank you senior brother for reminding me!"
Kou Ming patted Lin Shen on the shoulder, turned around and left without saying anything more.
The reason why he reminded Lin Shen was mainly because he valued Lin Shen's potential and wanted to sell Lin Shen well in advance.
Of course, what's more important is that as both a Xuan-level disciple, Lin Shen's presence does not affect his interests, and is even beneficial to him.
As long as Lin Shen is around, the eyes of most Huang-level disciples will definitely be on Lin Shen, and there will be fewer people challenging him after three months.
After watching Kou Ming go away, Lin Shen also left the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
He did not immediately go to Bing171 Jingshe, but returned along the way he came and came to Gongxunyuan.
Inside the mission hall.
Lin Shen moved slowly between the cabinet shelves, his eyes quickly scanning the wooden signs one after another.
It didn't take long.
He found his target.
'To collect black iron, the refining degree is required to be no less than 95%, and the reward is two merit points/kg!'
really!
Lin Shen's face showed joy. He flipped his wrist and found something in his palm.
