Chapter 240 – Merit Exchange

Chapter 240 – Merit Exchange
“Husband, is this ……?”

Shen Ruyan was the first to speak.

Hearing her words, everyone else also turned to Jiang Chengxuan.

Then he saw Jiang Chengxuan nod and say, ”Not bad, right now, the Decapitated Apricot Pear Tree, it is in the middle of promotion.

I believe that after some more time, it should be able to successfully advance to the fourth rank.”

“Really?”

Everyone’s faces couldn’t help but be flooded with a trace of joy.

If the Deciduous Apricot Pear Tree could really be upgraded to the fourth rank as Jiang Chengxuan had said, then there was a great possibility that the Spirit Vein on the Jiang Family’s Taixuan Mountain would be upgraded to the fourth rank as well.

At this time, Jiang Chengxuan also inquired about the situation of the third-order water vein.

After confirming that Shen Ruyan and the others had already arranged and handled it properly, he nodded.

“Next, we just need to wait for news from the Aqua Sword Pavilion’s side.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, a transmission from Hua Mengyue was sent over to both him and Shen Ruyan.

The couple took out the transmission and looked at it, then smiled and said to Jiang Rendao, Jiang Renyi, and Jiang Renchuan who were present:

“Over at the Bishui Sword Pavilion, there are already results regarding the matters after the battle of the Demon Beast Rebellion this time.

Rendao, Renyi, and all of you, you can then join us and make a trip to the Bishui Sword Pavilion.”

“Yes!”

Hearing the words of the two, Jiang Rendao, Jiang Renyi, and the others were clearly happy in their hearts as well.

After all, they were the ones who had gone over to receive the distribution of merit rewards, so naturally, their moods couldn’t possibly be worse.

Not to mention that with their Jiang family’s performance in the Demon Beast Chaos this time around, that merit reward could not possibly be less.

“But before we go over, there’s one more thing that needs to be done first.”

As the words fell, Jiang Chengxuan was seen taking out the array disk of the Cluster Star Dueling Heavenly Chained Array from his own body.

This time, in the battle of Ancient Yuan City, this formation disk could be said to be responsible for a great deal.

Without it, it would have been impossible for Gu Yuan City to hold on, much less wait for the arrival of Gu Yue Feng.

Now, Jiang Chengxuan had taken out this array disk, naturally, he wanted to use it as their Jiang family’s protective array.

Even though right now, their Jiang family’s Tai Xuan Mountain, the spirit vein grade had not yet reached the fourth rank.

However, combined with the third-order spirit veins in this place, as well as the spirit stones stocked up within the clan, if something bad were to happen, this formation would still be able to utilize the power of the fourth-order.

Rumble!
As Jiang Chengxuan implanted the Star Dueling Heavenly Chain Formation within their Jiang Clan’s Tai Xuan Mountain.

Immediately, a shining starburst appeared in the sky above the entire Tai Xuan Mountain.

After Jiang Chengxuan handed over the maneuvering array disk of this formation to Liu Linglong who was responsible for guarding it, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan led Jiang Rendao and the rest of the group to the Aqua Sword Pavilion.

When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan arrived at the Bishui Sword Pavilion, on the side of the Bishui Sword Pavilion, there was immediately a specialized person who led them to one of the main halls of the Bishui Sword Pavilion.

Here.

Jiang Chengxuan and the others met quite a few acquaintances.

Among them would be Hua Mengyue and Li Fei, as well as a group of people from the Bai Clan.

As well as the You family, who were also in Qi’an County, and Huang Yao from the Smoking Cloud Pavilion.

The group of people exchanged pleasantries with each other.

Through exchanges, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, they learned that there were still quite a few fellow practitioners who had fallen in this Demon Beast Rebellion.

Among them were the Tianquan Sect’s Elder, Daoist Chang Yuan, who had been acquainted with them, as well as the Violet Mansion Yang Family’s Elder, Yang Huaifeng, and so on.

At this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but both of them sigh for a while.

This was how it was on the road to Immortal Cultivation.

No one could guarantee which day the Death Tribulation would come.

Fortunately, through the previous transmission, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had learned that the Shen family side in the Cloud Country, because of the direction of the demonic beasts’ attack this time, the main force was not in Pingchuan County.

So.

The Shen family was not in too much danger from the demonic beasts this time.

At least at the Violet Mansion level, no one from the Shen family had fallen.

This was undoubtedly good news for Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

Just as the people in the arena were exchanging discussions, a pressure from the Jindan level suddenly appeared within the entire hall.

Seeing the originally noisy and lively hall, the atmosphere was suddenly quiet.

Immediately, the crowd saw the visitor.

It was none other than the current Pavilion Master of the Aqua Sword Pavilion, Hou Dongbai.

“Greetings, Pavilion Master Hou!”

Immediately, everyone present immediately saluted.

Hou Dongbai nodded at the crowd.

Then, he saw him raise his hand and wave it.

In an instant, dozens and hundreds of rosters fell into the hands of every cultivator present.

“Take a look at all of them, these rosters I’ve given you record the merits earned by each and every one of you and even each family.

According to the merits earned by your own families, you can exchange them for those treasures I have listed for you on the roster.”

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked down at the rosters in their respective hands.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, they were no exception.

Undoubtedly, of all the Purple Mansion cultivators and even the Purple Mansion family clans this time, the one with the most meritorious achievements was clearly Jiang Chengxuan’s Jiang family where they were from.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan even took the first and second place in personal merit.

With this merit, they were enough to exchange for several types of conjugation spirits.

These, those were things that could barely be seen in the outside world.

Especially that Jiejindan and Zhenzhen Dan.

The former, could help cultivators increase their success rate of conjugation by thirty-five percent.

The latter, on the other hand, could help cultivators increase their success rate of conjugation by twenty and a half percent.

If the two were combined, their success rate could reach a terrifying fifty percent.

The reason why it was fifty percent and not sixty percent.

It was because between the two elixirs, there were certain effects that were similar.

It is equivalent to overlapping.

But even so, if these two elixirs were put on the market, it would definitely cause a bloody storm.

Even a Jindan Realist would not be able to help but be moved by them.

Because without talking about anything else, just these two pills themselves, their value, was an astronomical figure.

A figure that even for a Jindan Realist, one would be ruthlessly moved by.

And with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s couple’s merits, even if they exchanged these two pills at the same time, not only was it completely sufficient, but there was still quite a bit left over.

It was just that, regardless of whether it was Jiang Chengxuan or Shen Ruyan, they had already had a plan for the matters of their subsequent Jindan formation.

It wasn’t going to depend on the two types of elixirs, the Jiejindan and the Zhenzhen Dan.

As for Jiang Rendao and Liu Linglong, they.

There was still a long way to go for the conjugation of the dan.

At a moment’s notice, they also could not use any of the Spiritual Objects of Dan Conjugation.

Therefore.

For those JieDan Spiritual Objects on the roster in front of them, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan at the moment, they both had no intention of exchanging them.

Compared to that, on the contrary, some of the fourth-order spiritual objects and precious materials among them, on the contrary, made their hearts move a little more.

Especially a few of the treasures that could help their original magic treasures metamorphose or even ascend.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, moreover, did not intend to let go of any of them.

Included in this was the Two-Eyed Divine Jade that could allow Jiang Chengxuan’s Bipolar Yuanmagnetic Divine Mountain to be completely upgraded to a fourth-ranked magic treasure.

As well as the True Spirit Thunder Crystal that would allow Shen Ruyan’s Falling Thunder Heavenly Seal to be promoted to a fourth-ranked magic treasure.

There was also the Yin Yang Heavenly Lotus necessary for Jiang Chengxuan to refine the Yin Yang Divine Water Jade.

And even the Star Flare Stone that could make the Star Dueling Heavenly Chain Formation increase its power again.

In addition to these, for Jiang Chengxuan, there is another thing that is indispensable.

That was the follow-up technique of the Five Elements True Technique.

Unfortunately, on the side of the Aqua Sword Pavilion, there was no income on the Five Elements True Technique Jindan Chapter’s merit law.

If Jiang Chengxuan wanted it, I’m afraid he would have to try to make a trip to the Tian Yue Sect’s side.

It seemed that the Five Elements True Technique Jindan Chapter had been included there.

However, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t know anyone at the Tian Yue Sect.

The Tian Yue Sect’s Purple Mansion female cultivator that he had met earlier when he was in Gu Yuan City was just a one-sided acquaintance.

It was impossible for him to go find the other party, right?
And strictly speaking, it seemed that he and certain people in the Heavenly Yue Sect still had a hint of a grudge.

Jiang Chengxuan really didn’t have much confidence that he could exchange the contents of the Five Elements True Technique Jindan Chapter from the Tian Yue Sect.

Fortunately, he was on good terms with Hou Dongbai and Hua Mengyue who were present.

When he approached Hou Dongbai and stated his needs, Hou Dongbai nodded his head very quickly.

“Don’t worry, little friend Jiang, there shouldn’t be any problems with this matter.

In as short as half a day, or as quick as three days, I should be able to get the Five Elemental True Skills you want for you.”

“Hm?”

Hearing Hou Dongbai’s words, Jiang Chengxuan was obviously a little surprised.

As if he could see some of Jiang Chengxuan’s doubts, Hou Dongbai, who was a Jindan Realist, couldn’t help but smile and say:

“Is little friend Jiang somewhat underestimating the merits you have made in the Demon Beast Chaos this time?”

Without waiting for Jiang Chengxuan to reply, Hou Dongbai already continued:
“Truth be told, this time, the merits you made in the Demon Beast Chaos, whether it’s my Bishui Sword Pavilion or their Tianyue Sect, it can be said that they owe you a huge favor.

As long as your request is not too excessive, then both my Aqua Sword Pavilion and their Tian Yue Sect will definitely not refuse.”

Speaking at this point, Hou Dongbai’s voice could not help but pause slightly, and only then did he continue:
“Furthermore, right now, the Five Elements True Skill that you want is not their Tian Yue Sect’s Zhen Zong Jie Xue.

If what you want this time around is their Tian Yue Sect’s Zhen Zong Jie Xue, then I can tell you one hundred percent.

No chance.

But if it’s just a more popular technique like the Five Elemental Technique, the Tian Yue Sect’s side will definitely not reject it.

Besides, they also want to establish a certain friendly relationship with you, Little Friend Jiang, only that they have never had the opportunity to do so.

Now this matter can be said to be an opportunity for both you and them.”

After listening to Hou Dongbai’s words, Jiang Chengxuan truly realized what significance the things he did in Gu Yuan City this time around had for the Bishui Sword Pavilion, for the Tian Yue Sect, and even for the entire Liang Kingdom.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that guarding Gu Yuan City was equivalent to guarding a lifeline between their Liang cultivation world and the demonic beasts.

There is absolutely no room for underestimation.

Together with the two of them, he and Shen Ruyan, although they had not yet entered the Jindan realm, their actual battle power had clearly reached the Jindan level.

In other words, the Bishui Sword Pavilion and the Tian Yue Sect had already treated them as Jindan real people of the same generation.

If not for this, even if the merits you have gained this time are great, it would be equally impossible to receive equal treatment and courtesy.

As for the unpleasantness between Jiang Chengxuan and certain people from their Tian Yue Sect, that wasn’t a matter at all.

At least it wouldn’t affect the level of the big picture.

After thinking about this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately smiled and cupped his fists to Hou Dongbai in gratitude:
“I see.

Since this is the case, then I’ll have to trouble Pavilion Master Hou when the time comes. “”

“You’re welcome, little friend Jiang.”

Hou Dongbai, however, smiled and shook his head.

After Jiang Chengxuan, on his side, determined that he would exchange the Five Elements True Technique Jindan Chapter’s technique.

The merit badges that he and Shen Ruyan had left were also already not much.

Looking at the things that could be exchanged in the roster, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan realized that the things that were left didn’t seem to be of much use to either of them.

But it was also impossible for them to keep the merit honors in Jiang’s hand.

So after much consideration, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan decided to choose a few important third-order spirit items from the redemption roster in front of them.

Among them were the two Purple Haze Jades.

After everyone present had exchanged the items they needed to exchange, most of them didn’t choose to stay any longer and quickly left the Aqua Sword Pavilion.

On the contrary, it was Jiang Chengxuan and his group who didn’t choose to leave, but temporarily stayed at the Bishui Sword Pavilion’s Welcome Peak.

About two days later.

Hou Dongbai found Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

Afterward, he Jiang a jade slip and handed it to Jiang Chengxuan.

“Little friend Jiang, take a look, this is the technique you need for the Five Elements True Technique Jindan Chapter.”

Receiving the jade slip from Hou Dongbai’s hand, Jiang Chengxuan Jiang Zhi pressed it to his forehead and checked it with his divine sense, confirming that it was indeed the content of the Five Elements True Technique Jindan Chapter’s technique, so he nodded at Hou Dongbai and said:
“It is indeed the Five Elements True Technique Jindan Chapter’s gongfu undoubtedly.

Pavilion Master Hou, many thanks for this time.”

After saying that, Jiang Chengxuan, with a rather solemn expression, bowed to Hou Dongbai.

Seeing this, Hou Dongbai then smiled and waved his hand, saying:
“As I said long ago, Junior Friend Jiang does not need to be polite.”

After a pause, he then saw Hou Dongbai’s face, suddenly brought on a rather cautious expression, and then looked at Jiang Chengxuan and said:
“Junior friend Jiang, this time I called you over, apart from Jiang this Five Elements True Extremity technique being handed over to you, there is actually one more very important thing to say to you.”

“Hmm?”

Hearing Hou Dongbai’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s faces couldn’t help but both reveal a flash of surprise.

They looked towards Hou Dongbai.

Then they heard Jiang Chengxuan say, “I don’t know what is the matter? There is no harm in Pavilion Master Hou speaking.”

“Hm.”

Hou Dongbai nodded.

“I’m sure that both of you should still have a strong impression of that Blessed Mountain Wolf King from back then, right?”

“Fushan Wolf King?”

Suddenly hearing Hou Dongbai mention this name, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes couldn’t help but both condense.

“Not bad.”

Hou Dongbai nodded once again.

“It is rumored that the fifth-ranked Demon Emperor that shared a certain bloodline connection with it that day had wanted to cross into the territory of my Liang Kingdom, but was later stopped by True Lord Xuan Yang of the Yuzhou Hidden Sword Palace.”

“There’s still such a thing?”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but both be a little shocked in their hearts.

It was conceivable that if they had really allowed that fifth-ranked Demon Emperor to set foot in their Liang Kingdom’s territory that day, just what kind of horrifying things would have happened.

Fortunately.

There was True Lord Xuanyang of the Yuzhou Hidden Sword Palace who saved them from this calamity.

For this human True Lord, the current Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had more or less heard about it.

It was said that this person was extremely overbearing and protective.

There was once a guy who had just stepped into the fifth stage of the Demon Emperor level, in order to avenge the grudge it had when it was in the fourth stage, he even laid hands on a cultivator who was still a Jindan at that time.

This led to that Jindan almost dying.

Most importantly, that Jindan, although not his True Lord Xuan Yang’s disciple, nor his family’s descendant, was a junior that he highly valued.

Result.

In the next day after this incident, he alone killed on that fifth-order demon emperor’s lair, and finally more Jiangzhi directly extracted the tendons and skin, so that it was reduced to his many fifth-order materials.

According to his Xuan Yang True Lord’s words.

That is your same realm between the fight, how he will never bother.

But if you dare to bully the small with the big, and also bully to his head, that is not.

No matter if you are a fifth-order Demon Emperor or a human True Lord, if you dare to break the rules at will, his Purple Heavenly Sword will never show the slightest bit of mercy.

Not letting you pay a sufficiently painful price, he would never give up.

At that moment, he heard Hou Dongbai continue:
“But this time, what I really want to talk to you about is not this matter.”
