"Hmm."
Duan Lingtian nodded when he knew Guo Li was asking about the City Governor of Mound Hill City protecting her.
"Thank you."
Guo Li thanked him sincerely with a grateful expression on her face.
"You've left the wooden house … Are you planning to go to the Merit Pavilion too?"
Duan Lingtian changed the topic and asked.
"Yes."
Guo Li nodded.
"I've already used the opportunity to go out once every three months … I wonder if I can still go out."
Duan Lingtian suddenly thought of this problem.
"I heard … As long as you register with the steward and exchange for Merit Points at the Merit Pavilion, it's not considered going out."
Guo Li said.
"If that's the case, then there's no problem."
Duan Lingtian smiled and then walked into the pavilion beside the high platform with Guo Li.
After registering with the Heavenly Harm Guardian, they left the Latent Dragon Camp.
After leaving the Latent Dragon Camp, they went to the Merit Pavilion.
The Merit Pavilion in the City Governor's Estate was an independent pavilion with four floors.
The pavilion had an antique look and looked simple.
As soon as they entered the first floor, Duan Lingtian saw a familiar figure walking toward them from the inside. "Jin Yuan Bao?"
"Senior Brother Duan."
At that moment, Jin Yuan Bao saw Duan Lingtian and a bright smile appeared on his face.
Senior Brother?
Duan Lingtian and Guo Li were stunned when they heard how Jin Yuan Bao addressed him.
"I'm two years younger than you, and I'm not as powerful as you. Naturally, I should call you Senior Brother."
Jin Yuan Bao smiled.
Duan Lingtian just remembered that Jin Yuan Bao was also a disciple of the City Governor of Mound Hill City like him.
"Junior Brother Jin."
A smile appeared on Duan Lingtian's face as well.
"Senior Brother Duan, I've already exchanged for what I want … I'll take my leave first."
Jin Yuan Bao bade farewell to Duan Lingtian and nodded at Guo Li before leaving the Merit Pavilion.
"Duan Lingtian, did I hear that right? Jin Yuan Bao called you Senior Brother? Moreover, he admitted that his strength is inferior to yours? "
Guo Li looked at Duan Lingtian in surprise. "You've fought him before?"
When Guo Li learned that she was protected by the City Governor of Mound Hill City, she knew Duan Lingtian had most likely become the disciple of the City Governor of Mound Hill City and had asked the City Governor for a favor.
That favor was for the City Governor of Mound Hill City to protect her.
However, although she knew Duan Lingtian must have become the disciple of the City Governor of Mound Hill City, she did not expect Jin Yuan Bao to address Duan Lingtian as Senior Brother.
"No."
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
"No? Then … "
Guo Li wanted to ask more, but she was interrupted by Duan Lingtian. "You'll know in a while."
Guo Li looked confused, but she didn't ask any more questions.
"31 points? Are you sure? "
In front of the counter on the first floor of the Merit Pavilion, Guo Li looked at the staff member in surprise.
"No." The staff member shook his head.
"The three-person team you're in has obtained 93 points in the test three days ago … You've taken one of them, so you have 31 points."
"31 points can be exchanged for 3,100 Merit Points. Do you want to exchange?"
The staff member asked.
"Wait …" Guo Li shook her head.
Guo Li shook her head. She couldn't react for a moment. "I remember that our team of three got a total of 73 points … 93 points? Where did the extra 20 points come from? "
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Guo Li's mind. She stared at Duan Lingtian next to her as if she had seen a ghost. "Duan … Duan Lingtian, y-you didn't kill that Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage bandit, did you?"
Killing a Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage bandit would give her 20 points.
Guo Li's breathing quickened as soon as she finished speaking. She stared at Duan Lingtian with her clear eyes, not missing any expression on Duan Lingtian's face.
When she saw Duan Ling Tian nodding his head, she completely confirmed it.
"Duan Lingtian, you …"
At that moment, Guo Li really did not know what to say. While she was shocked, she could only smile wryly.
She finally understood why Jin Yuan Bao addressed Duan Lingtian as his Senior Brother.
"Exchange them for Merit Points."
Duan Lingtian reminded her with a faint smile.
"Okay."
After Duan Lingtian's reminder, Guo Li reacted and exchanged all 31 points for Merit Points. She now had a total of 3,100 Merit Points.
After Guo Li was done, Duan Lingtian followed suit and exchanged his Merit Points.
"The Merit Points are stored inside?"
Duan Lingtian was shocked when he looked at the Crystal Card in his hand.
When he inserted his True Energy into the Crystal Card, the number '3,100' would appear on it. It was the value of the Merit Points.
"There's a Saint Inscription inscribed on the Crystal Card."
Guo Li did not seem surprised at all as she explained to Duan Lingtian.
"Saint Inscription? Does this mean that this is made by a Saint Inscription Master? "
Duan Lingtian was even more shocked.
As far as he knew, there was no Saint Inscription Master in Mound Hill City.
As Duan Lingtian voiced his doubts, Guo Li smiled and said, "Duan Lingtian, this Crystal Card is not made by the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City."
"It's not made by the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City? What do you mean? "
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
"This Crystal Card is from the seventh-rated force above Mound Hill City. The Merit Points inside are also from that seventh-rated force," Guo Li explained.
"That seventh-rated force is a powerful sect … Including Mound Hill City, the other seventeen cities around it are also under the control of that sect."
"Just like the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City, the City Governor's Estate of the other seventeen cities are also eighth-rated forces. They each control an eighth-grade Saint Stone reserve."
Guo Li continued, "The eighteen cities have to hand in a large amount of seventh-grade Saint Stones and recommend young geniuses to that seventh-rated sect every three years.
That seventh-rated sect will award a certain amount of Merit Points to each city based on the number of seventh-grade Saint Stones handed in and the quality of the young geniuses recommended by each city.
It's said that the City Governor's Estate of each city can use Merit Points to borrow Human Rank Primitive Saint Grade Martial Tactics from that seventh-rated sect and exchange them for Human Rank Primitive Saint Grade Weapons and high-grade Saint Grade Pills. "
Guo Li finished in one breath.
"A seventh-rated sect that controls eighteen cities like Mound Hill City?
A seventh-rated sect that has mastered Human Rank Primitive Saint Grade Martial Tactics, Human Rank Primitive Saint Grade Weapons, and high-grade Saint Grade Pills? "
Upon hearing Guo Li's words, Duan Lingtian sorted out the information one by one. His heart was filled with shock.
"Duan Lingtian, with your talent, you'll definitely be recommended to a seventh-rated sect by the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City … As for me, I'm afraid I'll never have that chance."
Guo Li had a self-deprecating look on her face when she reached the end of her sentence.
"Recommended to a seventh-rated sect?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up as anticipation filled his face.
Naturally, he wanted to climb up the ladder since he came to the Dao Martial Saint Land … The higher he stood, the further he could see and the faster he could find his parents.
Moreover, according to Huo Lao, if he wanted to return to Earth, he would have to become stronger and stand at the peak of this planet.
To him, the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City was merely a springboard.
Water would always flow downwards, and men would always strive to climb higher.
This was the truth that would never change.
"Let's go up to the second floor and see what we can exchange our Merit Points for."
Duan Lingtian changed the topic and suggested when he saw Guo Li seemed a little disappointed.
The first floor of the Merit Pavilion of the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City was the place to exchange Merit Points while the second, third, and fourth floors were the places to exchange Merit Points for things.
When they arrived at the second floor, Duan Lingtian realized it was the place to borrow Saint Grade Martial Tactics and Dao Methods.
"So many Saint Tokens?"
Guo Li could not help but exclaim out loud after walking around the second floor.
There were at least hundreds of Saint Tokens that contained Saint Grade Martial Tactics and Dao Methods on the second floor of the Merit Pavilion … Although the Guo Clan that Guo Li belonged to was a ninth-rate force, they only had a few Saint Tokens.
Moreover, they were only Human Rank Primitive Saint Grade Martial Tactics and Dao Methods.
"Among these saint tokens, 90% of them are Human Rank Primitive Saint Grade Martial Tactics and Dao Methods … The remaining 10% are Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactics and Dao Methods.
Duan Lingtian also noticed this when he walked around the second floor with Guo Li.
There was an old man walking around and patrolling on the second floor of the Merit Pavilion. He did not say a word from the beginning until the end.
Duan Lingtian knew very well that this old man must be the powerhouse who guarded the second floor of the Merit Pavilion.
Activating his Divine Eye, Duan Lingtian soon discovered the old man's cultivation base … It was at the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage!
Apart from the old man, there was a young man in silver armor standing at each of the four corners of the second floor of the Merit Pavilion. His face was cold and his eyes were focused.
"Four people on the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage."
Duan Lingtian could guess their identities just by looking at the silver armor on the four young men. They were all members of the 36 Guardians of the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City.
"Senior, how do I get Merit Points to read the Saint Grade Martial Tactics on the second floor of the Merit Pavilion?"
Guo Li asked when the old man approached Duan Lingtian and Guo Li.
"Human Rank Primitive Saint Grade Martial Tactics. 100 Merit Points to read it once. Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactics. 1,000 Merit Points to save. You can't take the Saint Token out of the Merit Pavilion. "
The old man said calmly.
"1,000 Merit Points to read it once?"
When Guo Li heard this, she was so shocked that she cried out in alarm.
In fact, even if one wanted to memorize the contents of a saint token that contained the Saint Grade Martial Tactic, one would need to memorize it at least five times before they could do so.
The first time one read the Saint Token, they would only be able to read the contents of the first stage, the Fundamental Awareness Stage.
If one wanted to read the contents of the second stage, the Intermediate Stage, one would have to cultivate the technique to the Fundamental Awareness Stage … and so on.
Due to this reason, one would need to read it at least five times to learn the entire set of Saint Grade Martial Tactics.
It would cost 5,000 Merit Points to learn the entire set of Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactics. It was no wonder Guo Li was shocked.
Duan Lingtian, on the other hand, had a smile on his face.
"1,000 Merit Points to read it once?"
One must know that he was different from ordinary Martial Cultivators.
An ordinary Martial Cultivator would need to read the Saint Grade Martial Tactics at least five times to read the contents of the Saint Token.
