Chapter 3: Qingyun Pavilion

  Seal-breaking medicine water, as the name suggests, is used to break the seal of some objects.

  It is divided into three levels, the best and most expensive can even break the seal set by a Tianyuan Realm True Person, while the worst and cheapest can also break the seal set by a Renyuan Realm True Person. As for martial artists at the Wu Zhe level, they basically have no way to seal anything.

  Even if it is a sealant of the same level, due to differences in quality, the effect of eliminating the seal will also be different.

  The bottle of sealant behind Meng Zhanggui was naturally not a complete sealant.

  Even the lowest-grade washing seal medicine is not something that Fang Tian Nan can currently afford, unless he gives up his chance to become an outer disciple of Qing Yun Sect. Therefore, considering the actual situation, among the items displayed in the wall cabinet behind Meng Zhanggui, most are things that martial artists at the Ming Jing and An Jing levels often use.

  Fang Tiannan would know about the existence of this bottle of seal washing agent, which originated from Meng Zhuangui's own unintentional sale. Fang Tiannan was not like those other young people who wanted to join the Qingyun Sect and often exchanged contribution points for pills that increased their strength, martial arts techniques, and so on. The growth of his contribution points was also gradual, and Meng Zhuangui had once tried to get Fang Tiannan to exchange some sect items after exchanging contribution points.

  This is the introduction to this dusty old seal remover. In Meng Zhanggui's words, this belongs to his personal things, even if this thing is the lowest grade of seal remover and not complete, but it can still break those ancient seals with a lot of energy dissipated over time. So, in terms of value, it's also worth 20 contribution points, half price.

  Fang Tiannan had always been skeptical of Meng Zhanggui's boasts. However, thinking about the thing he was hiding in his bosom, Fang Tiannan still harbored the desire to exchange for this bottle of seal washing agent.

  。。。。。。

  "You'd better think carefully about this, the bottle of seal washing agent is worth 20 contribution points from the sect. And to be honest, I'm not even sure if it'll work. You currently have 1,009 contribution points, once you exchange them, with only half a month left, you'll need to accumulate another 11 contribution points, isn't that a bit too risky?"

  Although the Dream Shopkeeper occasionally, he just hoped that all the young people could exchange items from their sect with him. After all, as long as it was a transaction through his hands, there would be some returns for the sect. However, in the face of Fang Tian Nan's current situation, the Dream Shopkeeper still showed an intention to stop him.

  Meng Zhanggui was indeed very clear that as an outer disciple, his identity was of great importance to someone like Fang Tian Nan.

  However, Fang Tian Nan still insisted on proceeding with the exchange.

  Just as Meng Zhanggui shook his head and sighed, Fang Tiannan suddenly pulled out another small piece of light source stone from his pocket and placed it on the counter.

  Meng Zhangguan suddenly looked at Fang Tiannan with a strange expression, narrowing his eyes and scolding: "Good kid, you really have your ways. You even dare to trick old me."

  Fang Tiannan just smiled and didn't speak. Earlier, he had been deliberately teased by Meng Zhanggui, who had forced him to contribute a certain amount of goods, planning to swindle more items from Fang Tiannan's hands. This time, Fang Tiannan managed to turn the tables. The two people, one old and one young, exchanged a glance, with a hint of rivalry between them.

  The shopkeeper didn't get angry, and with a stroke of his brush, he wrote something in the record book, saying: "Since you're still quite to my liking, I'll take a loss myself. This bottle of seal wash is worth 19 contribution points, and I'll exchange it for you. Take it..."

  He retrieved the sealant from the closet behind him, then put away the second light source stone on the counter. Meng Zhanggui reluctantly made a face and muttered to Fang Tian Nan: "I really don't understand what you want this thing for... I thought it could at least be exchanged for a few 'Wash Marrow Dan'... Alas, young people these days just don't get it..."

  However, privately, Fang Tian Nan did observe the hidden smile and encouragement of Meng Zhanggui.

  "Thank you very much," said Fang Tian Nan gratefully.

  After that, Fang Tian Nan first put away the washing seal agent, and then took over the identity token from Meng Zhanggui's hand. He looked at the mark of 1,000 contribution points on it, put it in his bosom, and then bowed to Meng Zhanggui as a farewell.

  From now on, Fang Tiannan can truly say that he is a member of the Qingyun Sect. From now on, if Fang Tiannan wants to exchange or trade, he will not come to Meng Zhanggui's place. All outer sect disciples in the sect have their own dedicated exchange venue - Qingyun Pavilion.

  As long as Meng Zhanggui has it, Qingyun Pavilion will also have it; if Meng Zhanggui doesn't have it, Qingyun Pavilion might have it. Moreover, due to the rise in status, even if one is just an outer sect disciple of a sect, the sect will still show some care, and naturally, the exchange price will be relatively cheaper.

  Meng Zhanggu looked at Fang Tian's back, gradually disappearing at the door, sighed, with a mixture of relief and curiosity on his face. It can be said that for every person who is about to become an outer disciple of the sect, Meng Zhanggu always has a relieved smile when looking at them. However, for Fang Tian, Meng Zhanggu's relief was mixed with a hint of regret.

  After all, his innate talent was too ordinary, and although he had great willpower, his future achievements would not be too high. Meng Zhanggui sighed, Fang Tian Nan wanted to break through the limits of martial arts and reach the realm of a true man, but this process was indeed extremely difficult.

  It was just that bottle of sealant that had just been exchanged, which made Meng Zhang's shop owner puzzled and inexplicable, and he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, as if lamenting his own self-inflicted worries, thinking a bit too far ahead. It also seemed like he was curious about what purpose Fang Tian Nan would exchange such an item for. Or perhaps, when occasionally recalling it later, this curiosity was actually the hope that Meng Zhang's shop owner had placed on Fang Tian Nan.

  。。。。。

  Outside the shop door, Fang Tian Nan also let out a long sigh.

  Holding the identity token, Fang Tian Nan walked calmly and unhurriedly along the entire street, coming to a majestic and spacious square at the end of the street. Unlike the streets paved with bluestone slabs, the ground on the square was entirely cast in bronze, with various mythical creatures subtly embossed on its surface. Upon closer inspection, one could even discern the faces and scales of these creatures, so clear they were.

  At the northernmost end of the square, standing southward, there is a solitary pavilion. The entire pavilion looks very ancient and not high, only three layers. However, Fang Tian Nan stood on one side of the square, looking far away, but he could feel the majesty emanating from the pavilion.

  This attic is the exclusive place for the outer disciples of Qingyun Sect to exchange and trade. All personnel entering and leaving the attic have a uniform expression, with a cloud-shaped badge on their chest, which is the symbol of the outer disciples.

  At some point in the past, Fang Tian Nan also stood at a corner of the square, gazing from afar at this Qing Yun Pavilion. Rumor has it that this pavilion has existed since the establishment of the Qing Yun Sect. Through hundreds of years of wind and rain, the rise and fall of the Qing Yun Sect, the Qing Yun Pavilion had experienced and endured everything together. Inside the Qing Yun Pavilion, there were many ordinary disciples, as well as a multitude of elixirs and martial techniques that people flocked to like birds, and countless sect honors.

  Fang Tian Nan had never gone in before, and even opportunities to get close were rare.

  As the first portal of contact between Qingyun Sect and the outside world, the existence of Qingyun Pavilion is a symbol of the entire Qingyun Town. Therefore, the surrounding area of Qingyun Pavilion has been sealed with thirty-six layers of prohibition. Anyone who does not wear the sect's identity badge and rashly enters will trigger the prohibition immediately.

  The result is definitely miserable. Anyway, Fang Tian Nan has not seen or even heard of it in the past three years.

  Qingyun Town is a small town built around Qingyun Pavilion. Most of the residents are ordinary disciples of the Qingyun Sect, like Fang Tian Nan. There are also a few outer sect disciples who have settled in Qingyun Town.

  Compared to ordinary children, the outer sect disciples are completely from another world. Most of the outer sect disciples, even in Qingyun Town, will gather on the north side closer to the Qingyun Sect's location.

  There is rarely an intersection between the two.

  He first looked up at the sky, then reached into his chest to touch the identity token, carefully rubbing it before finally taking the first step towards the square. The token suddenly flashed with a faint blue light, and a cloud-like glow appeared, only to disappear again, as if the brief flash of light had never occurred.

  At this time, there were also two or three outer door disciples passing by the square. When they looked at Fang Tian Nan, they just nodded silently and showed a little kindness before hurrying away.

  Fang Tian Nan knew that the light emitted by the identity token was a result of triggering the ban. Because, the contribution points in the identity token had reached one thousand, so Fang Tian Nan would be safe and sound. However, such passive defense, each identity token could only be used once.

  Inside the Qingyun Pavilion, the person who came to greet Fang Tian Nan was an outer gate attendant. He looked about fifty years old, similar in age to Meng Zhuang Gu, but his expression was stern and unsmiling. Upon seeing Fang Tian Nan's arrival, he directly said: "Hand over your identity token."

  While speaking, he stretched out his hand with a begging look.

  When Fang Tian Nan handed over his identity token, the other party checked it and looked at Fang Tian Nan again. He then took out a nameplate from under the counter, entered some information, and threw it to Fang Tian Nan, saying: "Here you go... Congratulations on becoming an outer disciple of Qing Yun Sect, I hope you continue to work hard."

  Then he threw over a thin booklet and said, "If there's anything you don't understand, take a look at this 'Beginner's Handbook'."

  Fang Tiannan did not show any dissatisfaction, put away the things, turned around and walked out of Qingyun Pavilion. Even the elixirs and martial arts displayed in the pavilion didn't get a glance from him.
