Meng Qi was quite resistant in his heart, but reason made him have to admit that Jiang Zhiweis words were very reasonable. With the exchange of lightness skill, cross-practice external skill and knife method, plus some days of tempering, he would absolutely be able to transform himself and not end up like this time, only being able to take advantage of an opportunity to kill Cheng Yong, and still making it extremely dangerous.

  "Jiang Shimei is absolutely right." Before anyone knew it, Zhang Yuanshan had walked over, with Qi Xia and Qi Zhengyan following behind him.

  "Zhang Shixiong, are you done exchanging?" Jiang Zhiwei asked with some surprise, she hadnt seen Zhang Yuanshan go to the light pillar in the middle.

  Zhang Yuanshan smiled slightly and said, "Not yet. I was thinking that the Master of the Six Paths initially mentioned companions and allies in two different words, so I guessed that our next task might still be together. So, I took the liberty of inviting Qi Shimei and Zhengyan Shidi over, hoping that everyone can discuss and pool their thoughts before exchanging, making each companions strength get the best enhancement, increasing the hope of completing the next task successfully, and avoiding another incident like Qingjing Shidi and Yanxiang Zhu."

  Later on, he was somewhat disheartened.

  Meng Qi nodded slightly, having to admit that Zhang Yuanshan indeed had the talent for leading a small team, considering all aspects of things very carefully, and also taking care of others emotions.

  Zhang Yuanshan looked at Meng Qi and said, "Lightness skill, cross-practice external skill, this is the current focus of True Ding Shidi. Especially Tie Bu Shan not only has cross-practice external skill but also has basic internal skill and heart method, which can let you initially condense your dantian. Moreover, it can lay a good foundation for you to practice Jin Gang Bu Huai Shen Gong, Jin Zhong Zhao and other Shaolin ultimate skills in the future."

  "Alright, thanks for the advice, Zhang and Jiang. Ill do as you say." Meng Qi gritted his teeth in response, although he admired the elegant and handsome demeanor of effortlessly defeating his opponent, his life was still at stake for now.

  Zhang Yuanshan nodded and looked at Jiang Zhimiao: "Jiang Shimei, you still lack twenty good deeds? Are you planning to exchange for a Tiancong pill?"

  Upon hearing "Tian Cong Wan", Qi Xias face was as expected, while Qi Zhengyans expression became agitated, seemingly having yearned for this elixir for a long time.

  "Ah, Tiancong pill, 110 good deeds." Jiang Zhiwei wasnt surprised by Zhang Yuanshans accurate guess, because she knew that Zhang Yuanshan would also choose this. "I have already condensed the nine apertures related to my ears, and Im only half a step away from opening the double ear aperture. Originally, I was thinking of grinding it myself to open the aperture, but now time is not waiting for me, so I can only quickly improve. Hopefully, in the future, there will be a longer interval between tasks that will allow me to make up for it."

  At this time, the voice of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation suddenly sounded: "The interval between tasks is short for one month and long for three to five years."

  "What about our next mission?" Zhang Yuanshan asked loudly.

  "Five hundred good deeds in exchange for this information." The master of the six paths of reincarnation was as cold-blooded as ever.

  Jiang Zhiwei let out a breath and saw Meng Qis confused expression, so she kindly explained to him: "When opening up, you can use special spiritual pills or medicines to assist, but one type of pill can only take effect once. The next time, youll need to switch to a better pill. For example, if I used the Tian Cong Wan to open my ear aperture, then when opening my nose aperture, I couldnt use the Tian Cong Wan again. At least, I would need a pill of the level of Tian Shi Di Ting Wan, which is worth at least 260 good deeds."

  "Even for similar elixirs, even if I were to sell the Sword Pavilion, I wouldnt be wealthy enough. If I want to obtain them, I would need to make corresponding contributions, or Master would have to use his own private stash."

  However, if its not urgent, youd better not rely on Dan medicine to break through, as this will more or less leave some problems that need to be compensated for with hard work. Otherwise, when crossing the great boundary in the future, it will be much more difficult. Of course, the lower the boundary, the easier it is to compensate.

  Zhengyan suddenly sighed: "For someone with ordinary qualifications like me, the hope of opening up may only be pinned on these elixirs. If I hadnt entered this reincarnation world, how could I have obtained a single Tiancong pill..."

  Of course, many of his fellow Jianghu people have the opportunity to open up after being washed by time, but when they do, they may be in their thirties or forties, and there is not much time left for further development.

  Upon hearing Zhi Zhengyans words, Meng Qi suddenly felt a sense of camaraderie. It seemed that he and himself were both at the bottom of their respective sects, with no hope of advancement. This reincarnation world was both treacherous and full of opportunities!

  "Heh heh, its clearly written on the miscellaneous goods list that you can directly get Six Paths Reincarnation Master to help you upgrade your internal strength, condense your acupoints, open up your meridians, and break through your boundaries. Its just that the price is even more expensive than the corresponding elixirs." Qi Xia said with a smile, "Do you need him to take care of everything for you?"

  "What others give you directly is always easy to take away, only what belongs to yourself can be relied on until the end."

  Qizheng nodded slightly, his expression calm and unruffled, it was unclear whether he had heard or not.

  Zhang Yuanshan pondered for a moment before saying: "Jiang Shidi, why dont I lend you twenty merits, and you can exchange them for Tiancong Pills."

  He pressed down with his right hand, stopping Jiang Zhi from opening her mouth, and continued to say: "My ear-related nine major acupoints still have two places that havent condensed, relying on Dan medicine or the Six Paths Reincarnations main boost will continue, in the future there may be irreparable hidden dangers. So, I plan to stabilize for a while, and your strength is stronger than mine, if you get boosted, it will help us more than me getting boosted. Hehe, unexpectedly you actually learned Sword Out of Nothingness, back then Su Shibo also opened four acupoints before she could use it!"

  "Jian Chu Wu Wo is one of the nine killing moves in Tai Shang Jian Jing, belonging to the Fa Shen level of ultimate skills, its my masters signature move, I only grasped a bit of its surface, even my master wouldnt dare say he fully mastered it." Jiang Zhiwei knew Meng Qi had "limited vision", so she intentionally explained it in more detail.

  Meng Qis gaze dropped, and the jade book flipped open with his words, stopping at "Sword Out Without Me":

  "Jian Chu Wu Wo, one of the nine killing moves from the Taishang Jianjing, exchange price: 18,700 good deeds."

  This is simply astonishing, no overall plan, just a simple technique, yet its worth so much! The successor of the great sect is indeed extraordinary!

  "No matter what, after opening your ears, Jiang Shidi, you wont completely lose your strength after just one move." Zhang Yuanshan said frankly.

  Jiang Zhi furrowed her brow: "Zhang Shixiong, what about you? What are you planning to exchange?"

  Meng Qi saw Zhang Yuanshans actions and felt a mix of admiration and relief: "Fortunately, I didnt refuse to lend him the good deed earlier. Otherwise, in everyones eyes, I would have been completely overshadowed by Zhang Yuanshans brilliant image... a petty and stingy monk..."

  Suddenly, Meng Qi heard Jiang Zhiweis voice entering his ears, as thin as a mosquito: "As the orthodox disciples of our sect, we wont lack various resources, so we can be so generous with good deeds. Its just like when someone in trouble has a rich friend who donates two taels of silver to help, and a poor friend who donates five qian. Although their kindness is not different, the latters character and friendship are more worthy of my respect."

  Haha, Meng Qi suddenly felt happy and didnt realize that he had accidentally mixed up someone with a noble character!

  Just as he was getting excited, Meng Qi suddenly felt a shock, Jiang Zhiwei spoke up, but why didnt the others react?

  Jiang Zhi smiled lightly: "The skill of transmitting sound into the ear, even if I havent opened my mouth, can still be used forcefully with internal energy, its just that previously being injured, the flow of air was hindered in many ways, so I could only focus on using my sword."

  Zhang Yuanshan naturally couldnt hear what Jiang Zhiwei said to Meng Qi, and smiled in response: "As Jiang Shifu mentioned earlier, I excel at Taijis defensive stance and cant exert its attacking capabilities. The True Wu Seven-Cutting Scripture is too profound and mysterious for a beginner, so I wont be able to break through it in a short period of time. Therefore, Ive sought out another sword technique that excels at offense. Of course, for now, I can only exchange one move to try it out."

  "Hmm, which school of swordsmanship?" Upon hearing the word "swordsmanship", Jiang Zhis face lit up as if it was radiating light, becoming so beautiful that it was almost unbearable to look at.

  "Zang Jian Lous Tian Can Di Que Yi Bai Ling Ba Jian has Hun Tian Hei Di, haha, actually if we talk about offense, your Wu Jian Ges swordsmanship is indeed exceptional, but since Jiang Shi Mei is here, I really cant bear to exchange pointers with you." Zhang Yuan Shan said with a smile.

  Cangjian Building is one of the six schools of Beizhou Menpai, and has always been known together with Xijian Pavilion.

  Jiang Zhis gaze swept around: "Heavenly Deficiency, Earthly Defect, One Hundred and Eight Swords originated from the fundamental sword technique Thirteen Swordless Births hidden in Cangjian Tower. Its a superior sword that can take ones life with a single strike. Later, when theres an opportunity, Ill have to ask for Zhang Shixiongs guidance again. Ah yes, thank you, Zhang Shixiong, for the good deed."

  Meng Qi secretly took a look at the Jade Book and found that this set of "Tian Can Di Que 108 Swords" belonged to an external scenery-level sword technique, worth 6,000 good deeds. However, if it was dismantled into its main framework and different moves exchanged separately, the main framework would be worth 1,000 good deeds, while the other moves were worth between 40 to 60 good deeds each. Zhang Yuanshan had chosen a move that required 50 good deeds, just enough to use up all his good deeds.

  "Jiang Shimei is willing to take my good deeds, I am honored to the extreme." Zhang Yuanshan said with a smile, "So, its definitely not nine out and thirteen back, after the next task, return me as is."

  Pfft, Jiang Zhiwei and Qi Xia both burst out laughing, while Meng Qi awkwardly lifted his head, his old face slightly red as he gazed at the white clouds drifting by in the sky.

  "What if I die on the next mission?" Jiang Zhi asked with a smiling tone.

  Zhang Yuanshan shook his head and smiled: "Lets just say I misjudged him."

  Jiang Zhiwei didnt say anything else and turned her head to ask Meng Qi, "Little monk, have you chosen the martial arts that need to be exchanged?"

  Meng Qi listened attentively and nodded, pointing to the jade book: "According to Brother Zhangs and Sister Jiangs opinions, I have decided to exchange for the Shaolin Iron Shirt secret manual, the Divine Steps Eight Steps secret manual, and the Five Tigers Broken Gate Knife secret manual. They are worth 30 merits, 20 merits, and 30 merits respectively. Actually, I wanted to directly exchange for the first three stages of Golden Bell Cover, but it requires a total of 120 merits, so I can only wait until next time."

  He was referring to the temples ultimate technique, "Golden Bell Shield". The first four stages belong to the Qi accumulation period and require 20, 40, 60, and 100 good deeds respectively. Although other types of Golden Bell Shields are cheaper, each stage is not as effective as this one. After all, if the twelve stages of this Golden Bell Shield are completed, it can prove the "Diamond Body", which is invulnerable to all attacks!

  And this iron shirt from the main world is exactly the rapid success method derived from "Golden Bell Cover", roughly equivalent to the effect of practicing the first three passes - Shaolin martial arts foundation is solid, gradual and progressive, after practicing the first three passes, it can be as ordinary as this iron shirt.

  So, he needed to quickly improve his Meng Qi and finally chose the Iron Shirt instead of just exchanging for the Golden Bell Cover in the first stage. However, this Iron Shirt could evolve into the Golden Bell Cover later on, and Meng Qi planned to re-cultivate the "Golden Bell Cover" in the future to make up for the shortcomings of rapid progress.

  After careful consideration, Meng Qi barely managed to use up his good deeds. In fact, he had originally wanted to exchange them for Wei Xiaobaos "Divine Movement Hundred Changes", but this lightness skill was extraordinary, allowing a martially inept person to repeatedly escape danger, and even among the declining martial arts of the end times, it was classified as one of the strongest in the Qi accumulation period, worth 100 good deeds.

  Fortunately, Meng Qi later discovered the "Eight Steps of Divine Movement", which is a simplified version of the detailed description of "Divine Movement of Hundred Changes". If ones martial arts talent is extraordinary, its not impossible to directly comprehend "Divine Movement of Hundred Changes" from it.

  "Exchange for a secret recipe? Do you have time to practice?" Qi Xia suddenly spoke up.

  Meng Qi furrowed his brow and shook his head: "If theres a year of time, it wont be a problem. However, if Shen Xing Ba Bu is easy to grasp with enough aptitude, maybe one month will be enough to get started. I only ask for the basics of knife skills to enter the door, and one month should also be enough."

  Wei Xiaobao is an example.

  Jiang Zhiwei thought for a moment and said, "Then directly exchange Tiebu Shan cultivation, master this horizontal exercise skill, you can also be considered a not-so-bad expert, as for knife skills, Ill go back to the door and find some ordinary knife skills secret books that my fellow disciples picked up casually."

  Meng Qi felt a bit embarrassed about picking it up casually...

  Directly cultivating "Iron Shirt" requires double the merits, and the remaining just happens to exchange for "Divine Steps of Eight".

  "Ziwei sister, returned to Xiujian Pavilion, do you still have the opportunity to go to Shaolin? Moreover, coming and going, wasting time." Qi Xia said with a smile, "It just so happens that I love reading books, my memory is good, and the Jiangbang has also collected many ordinary secret recipes and miscellaneous studies. Why dont I quietly write a copy of knife skills for Zhending Shidi?"

  She smiled and said, "I know that Zhang Shixiong and Zhī Wēi, you are both single-mindedly dedicated to your own sects martial arts, and only have a superficial understanding of ordinary secret manuals and miscellaneous studies, so it would be difficult for you to recite them."

  "Yes, Ive only heard Master explain other martial arts during actual combat training." Zhang Yuanshan nodded honestly.

  "So, its really worth it to remember all those useless secret recipes and miscellaneous studies," she said with a smile to Zhang Yuanshan. "Just now, I organized some of the secret recipes and miscellaneous studies and exchanged them for Six Paths Reincarnation Master, earning an extra 50 merits. Hmm, as long as you concentrate on remembering, the recipe will form itself."

  "Hehe, fortunately, there is still a part of the secret book left, which contains the Five Tigers Breaking Knife Method. According to the Master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the martial arts exchanged with him cannot be taught to others. However, if he teaches out the unexchanged secret books, for every person he teaches, the exchangeable good deeds will be halved. Those not taught by himself are not included in this category."

  Jiang Zhiwei and Zhang Yuanshan nodded slightly, without saying much. For now, they couldnt go against their conscience to exchange the sects martial arts for the "Master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation", even if it was already marked here. Qi Zhengyan, on the other hand, looked at the long sword in his hand with a thoughtful expression.

  "Qie sister provided the knife method secret recipe, and Xiao He Shangs exchange was settled." Jiang Zhi thought for a moment, "Why dont we observe Xiao He Shangs exchange first, so that we can gain more experience?"

  "Good." The others had no objection, and Meng Qi was even a little excited.

  A beam of light descended from the sky in the center of White Jade Square, hazy and mysterious, with an aura of immortality.

  Meng Qi walked in and first selected "Direct Cultivation of Iron Shirt" on the exchange spectrum that appeared inside.
