Chapter 535

"Why don't you choose both?" Qi Zhengyan asked confusedly. Junior Brother Zhen Ding had 690 Karma points, so he could consider exchanging for both.

Mengqi said seriously, "I have condensed six Aperture acupoints related to the Eye Aperture. I don't know when the next task will come, so I have to exchange for a 'Heavenly Acumen Pill' and try to enter the enlightenment period before the next task. I also need to replenish the poison needles of the Pearflower Storm Needles, and I also want to exchange for a Lightness Skill that is good for speed and a Buddhist Commandment Blade of the Refined Weapon level."

Speaking of the Buddhist Commandment Blade of the Refined Weapon level, he smiled bitterly and waved the Buddhist Commandment Blade of the Hundred Refined Steel level that he wore on patrol. It was already full of holes and could not be used anymore. Besides the Secret Chamber of Spirit, Cui Xu had also opened the Secret Chamber of Primordial Qi, so he had abundant inner force. Therefore, his Buddhist Commandment Blade was seriously damaged even though it was not a long sword of the Refined Weapon level. If he had a sword of the Refined Weapon level, his Buddhist Commandment Blade would have been broken long ago.

According to the "rule" of the Samsara task, the enemies he encountered were getting stronger and stronger. Mengqi worried that he would meet many enemies with swords of the Refined Weapon level in the next task. At that time, his Buddhist Commandment Blade would need the protection of genuine Qi to fight against them, which would weaken his combat capability. Although there were many weapons of the Refined Weapon level in Shaolin Temple, it was not something that he, an acolyte who had not yet enlightened the Apertures, could obtain. Only the disciples who had passed the Bronzemen Alley and left the mountain to wander could be selected.

From Jiang Zhiwei and others, Mengqi knew that the classification of weapons and objects in his world was similar to that of the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms. The worst and most common weapons were the "ordinary weapons" used by ordinary people, street thugs, and the bottom of Jianghu, and could be made by a slightly better blacksmith. The second last was the "Refined Weapon", which belonged to ordinary people in the martial arts world, disciples of ordinary sects, and elites of the imperial court. Only good craftsmen could make it, and it was worth hundreds of taels of silver.

When it came to the "Refined Weapon" level, the number was greatly reduced, because it required relatively rare metals, wood, and other materials. The person who made it must have profound internal energy and know how to control fire and other flames. Therefore, only the famous figures in Jianghu, the high-level and core disciples of ordinary sects, the direct disciples of major martial arts sects, the direct descendants of aristocratic families, and elite guards could have a chance to get it.

Each weapon of the "Refined Weapon" level had its own special features due to different materials, such as sharpness. For example, Jiang Zhiwei's Sword could cut iron as if it was mud.

Apart from weapons, there were also many peculiar items at the Refined Weapon level, such as a ring that could spit fire, a bracelet that could freeze people, and so on. Meng Qi felt that it should be a magic weapon.

The Precious Weapons, which were above the Refined Weapons, could trigger changes in heaven and earth. They had all kinds of magical powers and were extraordinary objects. As for the Heavenly Weapons and Peerless Godly Weapons, Meng Qi felt that they were terrifying objects that contained Dharma and Truth, or even Dao, according to the description of the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms.

"Yes, a Refined weapon is very important." Zhang Yuanshan patted his waist and unsheathed his long sword. The sword was surrounded by white mist like a dragon swimming in the clouds. "After I stabilized my foundation last time, I finally mastered the 'Zhen Wu Sword Art'. My father was so happy that he gave me the sword that made him famous when he was young, the 'Winged-snake Sword'. If I didn't have this sword, I'm afraid it would be much more difficult for me to complete this task."

"Lightness Skills? Don't you have the Lightning Changes?" Jiang Zhiwei said after thinking for a while.

Meng Qi had already thought it through. "Lightning Changes is good at dodging and changing. Compared to other Lightness Skills of the same level, Lightning Changes is very strong. But after I reach the enlightenment level, my speed and running will be far behind other skills. At that time, even if I can't beat them, I have to escape."

Jiang Zhiwei had a good relationship with Mengqi, so she didn't hesitate. She said frankly, "Actually, I suggest you choose a skill that can improve your aptitude. There aren't many of them, and you can only find them by chance. It's better to improve your aptitude as soon as possible. In this way, you'll have a solid foundation, a broad road, and a higher achievement. If you do it in the future, it won't be as good as it is now."

"Lightness Skills that are good for speed and skills like Sky Demon Butchering Skill should be put together because they are your life-saving skills. If you don't have enough Karma points, it'll be a waste to repeat them."

"If you can successfully enlighten the Apertures this time, your exhaustion will be greatly improved after performing the Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship. With the Pearflower Storm Needles, your ability to fight head-on is not bad. Skills like Sky Demon Butchering Skill can be exchanged next time."

Most of the skills that could be called "Divine Skills" would also improve one's aptitude when practiced. There was no such thing as falling behind at the beginning and falling behind forever. However, many Divine Skills had certain aptitude requirements at every stage. Maybe you had to spend more time practicing and improving yourself than others to enter the next stage, which would waste a lot of time.

Therefore, all sects preferred to choose those with outstanding aptitude as their direct disciples to inherit their fundamental skills. Then they would observe and choose diligent and down-to-earth disciples and teach them when they made certain achievements.

Moreover, a cultivation technique that could improve one's aptitude without being a main cultivation technique was considered an additional enhancement. It was quite precious to those who were interested in martial arts, but at the same time, such a cultivation technique was very rare, and not a single one was cheap.

"I think so too. Skills that can directly improve one's aptitude are amazing, and many people dream of them." When Zhang Yuanshan said this, there was a hint of sadness in his tone. "Among such skills, the most famous and effective one is the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture of Shaolin. It can not only improve one's aptitude, but also improve the quality of the main skill and reduce the difficulty of practice. It's really amazing. However, its first volume costs 10,000 Karma points. Junior Brother Zhen Ding, which one are you going to exchange for? These kinds of skills are rare and expensive. "

He seemed to have paid attention to such skills long ago.

Mengqi had an advantage. He already knew many "strange" Kung Fu skills on the Exchange List of the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms, so he didn't need to read them slowly.

This was a great advantage when there were as many skills below the Exterior level as there were stars in the sky. After all, the time spent in the Samsara Space was limited, and it was easy to make mistakes in haste.

Hearing Zhang Yuanshan's question, Mengqi smiled and said, "Zhiwei, Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Qi, I've decided to put aside skills like the Sky Demon Butchering Skill and exchange for the Chapter of Muscle Tendon Changing and Bone Strengthening from the Nine Yin Sutra."

In fact, he had planned to choose the Star-sucking Great Skill, the Great Skill of Transcendent Skill, and other Diabolism Kung Fu that could rob others of their Blood Essence and power to improve quickly. However, some of these skills were cruel and painful to master. Just thinking about it would drive him crazy, some were purely harmful to others without benefiting himself, and some had great hidden dangers. The above shortcomings were within a reasonable range, but they were more expensive. Moreover, it was not convenient for him to practice such skills in Shaolin Temple, so he finally gave up.

"Nine Yin Sutra?"

"Chapter of Muscle Tendon Changing and Bone Strengthening?"

Zhang Yuanshan, Jiang Zhiwei, and Qi Zhengyan all said in surprise. Obviously, they had never heard of it before, so they buried their heads and searched according to the first word.

"It can really change muscle tendon and bone strengthening, and improve the value, and it only costs 300 Karma points?" Zhang Yuanshan exclaimed. This was a rare reaction from him, who was usually calm.

"A skill that can improve one's aptitude only costs 300 Karma points?" Jiang Zhiwei, Qi Zhengyan, and Fu Zhenzhen all looked at Mengqi in surprise. How did he find such a cheap and effective skill?

"I found it by chance." Mengqi could only say so.

The two volumes of the Nine Yin Sutra cost 900 Karma points, and the Chapter of Muscle Tendon Changing and Bone Strengthening took up one-third of it, which showed how precious it was.

"Although the effect of improvement is limited, it's good enough. Little monk, you're really blessed by Buddha to find this skill." Jiang Zhiwei put her palms together and made a joke with a smile.

Zhang Yuanshan thought for a while and said, "Junior Brother Zhen Ding, to be honest, I will exchange for this skill later."

His aptitude was not bad, better than many people, but his status was high, and his family had high expectations. Compared with Yang Tai, Yang He, and the Yao brothers, his aptitude was nothing. Therefore, he had been looking for the possibility of improving his aptitude. He had paid attention to similar skills before, and even had the idea of asking the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms to directly improve his aptitude when there was no other way.

"If not for the Book of the Chaos having a good effect of improving aptitude and my limited Karma points, I would also want to exchange for it," Qi Zhengyan said honestly.

Mengqi laughed. "Since everyone thinks so highly of it, it means I made the right choice. I'll exchange for it later."

"Which Lightness Skill that is good for speed do you want to exchange for?" Jiang Zhiwei asked curiously. The little monk could always choose a skill that no one had heard of but seemed to be good.

Mengqi snorted and pointed to the jade booklet in front of him. "The first move of Wind-god's Legs, Wind Catching and Shadow, is the essence of entry. It focuses on Lightness Skill and only needs 90 Karma points. But to fully exert its strength, you have to reach the Exterior Realm."

When he said 90, Mengqi really wanted to say that he only needed 99 Karma points to carry the "Wind Catching and Shadow" home.

Wind-god's Legs came from Wind and Cloud. It was as fast as a meteor with the help of the wind. As for other moves, Mengqi had no interest at all, because he needed to concentrate on bladesmanship and Golden Bell Shield. He also needed to practice the two auxiliary skills, Bone Conditioning Chapter of Yijing and Transformation Strategy. Except for escaping, he didn't consider palm art or leg art for the time being.

Jiang Zhiwei looked at the description carefully and nodded gently. "Not bad. It requires less Karma points. Hehe, you're always good at picking."

Compared with skills that could improve one's aptitude, similar leg art and Lightness Skill were common in the eyes of Jiang Zhiwei and others, so they didn't care.

"Bone Conditioning Chapter of Yijing costs 300 Karma points, Heavenly Acumen Pill costs 110 Karma points, Pearflower Storm Needles costs 50 Karma points, and Wind-god's Legs costs 90 Karma points. Junior Brother Zhen Ding, you have 140 Karma points left to choose a Buddhist Commandment Blade of Refined Weapon level. If it's not enough, I can lend you the rest after I exchange." Zhang Yuanshan said generously, "I don't lack elixirs now. I only need to exchange for Bone Conditioning Chapter of Yijing and Muscle Conditioning and I will have 30 Karma points left."

Jiang Zhiwei interrupted, "I don't need the Pill of Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing until the next task to open my Nose Aperture. This time, I only need to exchange for the Heartless Part of Sword Art of the Holy Spirit, so I will have 20 Karma points left."

"I haven't mastered Kunlun Earth yet, so I don't need to exchange for the fourth layer of Azure Blizzard. But I also plan to exchange for a long sword of Refined Weapon level, one that can suppress demons. I've suffered a lot in this task." Qi Zhengyan said gloomily, "Besides, I also need elixirs to help me cultivate during the enlightenment period."

Mengqi nodded with a smile. "Then let's exchange for the other things now. Later, Senior Brother Qi and I will choose the Refined Weapon."
