Regarding Meng Qi's active mention of the lightning mark, Zhang Yuanshan, Jiang Zhimiao and Luo Shengyi did not feel strange. Firstly, everyone knew that he could summon heavenly thunder, and secondly, who didn't have a strange encounter? At that time, he didn't elaborate on the matter of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Spear's spiritual energy attaching to his body, which was normal for people who were teammates but not spouses. They only needed to know each other's general strength and methods, and as long as there was no malicious intent, it was fine. Just like earlier when Jiang Zhimiao only mentioned that she had a strange encounter, opened her aperture, and grasped the "Strike the Cang Hai" technique, without specifying what the strange encounter was.
With the divine thunder essence attached to his body, choosing "Purple Thunder Seven Strikes" was a perfectly normal idea. After all, the most famous swordsmanship and spear techniques of the Lei Shen school were the Shén Xiǎo Jiǔ Miè (Divine Night Nine Extinctions), Bà Wáng Liù Zhǎn (Overlord Six Slashes) and Zǐ Léi Qī Jī (Purple Thunder Seven Strikes). The first two were Dharma Body techniques, which Meng Qi was still far from exchanging for. The latter could be exchanged for a single move.
In their unwavering gaze, Meng Qi smiled at Fu Zhenzhen: "Alright, I have six Long Swords of Lethal Efficiency here. Old Luo and Ruan Niang each have two. Take a look and see if there's one that suits you."
He took out the five-mouthed sword and broadsword of the fourth prince and the Sword General, and handed them to Su Zhenzhen for selection.
Fu Zhen originally had a long sword bestowed by his master, but it was not of high quality. At first glance, he fell in love with a pair of mandarin duck swords, one long and one short. With a calm and joyful expression, he recited the inscription on the sword: "White-haired friends know each other's swords, white-haired friends know each other..."
"The White-Haired Couple's Sword", a fine and sharp treasured sword, with the long sword being yin and soft, and the short sword being yang and strong, opposite to ordinary ones. The couple who forged it were an affectionate pair of white-haired elders, leaving their love in the sword, cutting iron like mud, entwining and lingering, the sword's aura disturbing people, having a special peculiarity. It was obtained by the Fourth Prince, originally worth 350 Good Deeds, but if exchanged with the Master of the Six Paths Reincarnation, it would only be worth 150 Good Deeds.
"If you like it, take two hundred good deeds." Meng Qi said with a peddler-like expression.
He didn't quote a price that was too low, lest Yu Zhenzhen and Zhang Yuanshan would be unhappy, of course, nor would he open his mouth too wide, after all, they were friends who had been through life and death together.
"Good." Fu Zhenzhen gave Meng Qi two hundred good deeds, took away the "White-Haired Mutual Understanding Sword", used the long sword himself, and quietly put the short sword in Zhang Yuanshan's waist.
She casually threw the useless manual and the long sword of her sect into the central light pillar: "I still have 890 good deeds, hmm, I'll get another 260 good deeds from afar, exchange for 260 elixirs of heavenly vision and earthly hearing, and with what's left, I plan to exchange for a poisonous scripture, some poisonous materials, and self-cultivate."
After refining and reincarnating, she had already reached the state of being two orifices full, not far from leaving the ear orifice. Originally, she planned to grind herself, but the pressure of the death task was on her body, so she could only exchange a Heavenly Vision Earthly Hearing Pill to cope with the emergency and strive for a year's time to have a transformation of changing her bones.
She has started practicing the first part of "Rescue People Scripture", her own true energy is a healing medicine, and through "Rescue People Scripture" and "Medicine King Scripture", she initially learned medical skills, and can be considered as an enlightened doctor in the opening period. However, whether it's "Rescue People Scripture" or "Medicine King Scripture", they all emphasize the importance of a doctor's kind heart, and when it comes to detoxification, they mainly focus on detoxifying and removing toxins. Only a few types of poisonous substances are cultivated and poisonous medicines are prepared, which is not powerful enough in the reincarnation task.
Of course, if the medical principle is further understood, the toxicology will naturally be enlightened. Medical and toxic are originally inseparable, but Zhen Zhen has not yet reached this level.
There are still 370 good deeds left, and I need to poison the scripture and materials... Meng Qi glanced at it and suddenly had an idea: "I can exchange for Wang Nangong's Poison Scripture, using only 200 good deeds."
Fu Zhen carefully looked at it and his face lit up: "This poisonous scripture is not bad, Meng Qi, you seem to be quite familiar with this aspect?"
"Haha, didn't I say that when one's martial arts skills are weak, they always think of improving through the use of poison?" Meng Qi replied casually.
Fu Zhenzhen just casually mentioned it, not paying much attention. After exchanging for the "Wang Nangong Poison Classic", she started selecting poisonous materials. In this regard, no one could surpass her, and they could only watch as she selected item after item: Zhu Hong Yin Hua, Fu Du Shi Fen, Wan Du Zhu Ha poison liquid, Duan Chang Cao... Meng Qi and others felt a bit of their scalp numbing, thinking that they couldn't afford to provoke her easily.
These are all materials that have not been refined and cannot exert a great effect, so the prices are not high. In total, Zhenzhen spent 150 shengong, leaving 20 shengong for future use.
Fu Zhenzhen didn't choose any other, "Jiuren Jing" is the fundamental great method, besides true energy can heal wounds, cultivate spiritual objects, recover extremely quickly after consumption, and also have corresponding swordsmanship and body methods.
After she finished exchanging, Meng Qi smiled at Ge Huaien: "Do you want a sharp long sword?"
It's better for companions to give it to each other than to lose it to the master of the six reincarnations, which is beneficial to both parties. Now that we need a sharp long sword but don't have one, there's only Ge Huaien left.
Ge Huaiwen smiled warmly and nodded slightly: "Meng brother, I want the Cheng Ren Yu Yi sword."
When Meng Qi chose for Su Zhenzhen, he also quietly took a look.
The sword of righteousness, a pretty good sharp weapon. If the person using the sword has a heart of righteousness, this sword will emit an aura of power, pressuring the enemy, making them feel ashamed and trembling with fear. Forged by a certain great Confucian scholar, its value is 360 merits. If exchanged with the master of the six paths of reincarnation, one can obtain 160 merits.
"It's also two hundred." Meng Qi said generously, he was still quite considerate of newcomers, just like in the past. If it weren't for Jiang Zhiwei's care, this newcomer would have long been dead by now.
Ge Huaien traded two hundred merits to Meng Qi, took away the Chengren Sword of Righteousness, and was about to think about what to exchange for it when he heard Meng Qi ask with a concerned tone: "What do you want to exchange for? Let's discuss it together, one person's plan is short-sighted, but many people's plans are far-reaching."
Recalling the calmness of Jiang Zhiwei, Meng Qi and Fu Zhenshen earlier, Ge Huaien nodded with a bitter smile: "I don't want to die yet, so I have to open my ears quickly. I still have 580 good deeds left, and I must exchange them for one Tiancong pill and two bottles of Xuxing Yihua Dan. As for the remaining good deeds, I have my own master's teachings, and this time I also got the Great Inner Secret Scripture, so I don't lack normal martial arts for the time being. The ultimate move can't be exchanged, I don't know what to choose..."
He found an opportunity to sneak into the imperial palace through the arrangement of San Huangzi and Luo Shengyi, becoming a guard guarding the side hall, obtaining the secret book that the guard should have, and exchanged it for more than 100 good deeds.
"Ge brother, eh, apart from martial arts, what else are you good at? Or what do you like to study?" Meng Qi was lively and loved to joke around, often saying that he was stingy, but most of the time he didn't mind, so he had become the team's glue, connecting everyone together, and got along well with everyone.
In short, this is the positioning of the residential committee aunties... Meng Qi muttered to herself.
Ge Huaiwen hesitated for a moment: "Among the Six Arts of Confucianism, I especially love the art of numbers and enjoy studying the 'I Ching', does this count?"
"Of course!" Meng Qi was shocked by the words, our team is just short of talented people like you!
Ruan Yushu held the guqin and said lightly, "If you want to use numbers to enter 'calculations', to infer people and things, to pursue good fortune and avoid evil, you can choose the 'Wang Shi Yi Shu'."
Both from big families, and in two states that are very close to each other, Ruan Yushu's understanding of the Wang family of Jiangdong cannot be said to be shallow.
"The Wang's Yi Book" only uses three hundred good deeds, although it is a bit more expensive than the Mei Hua Liu Ren, but it wins in its solid and comprehensive foundation. Of course, if one doesn't have the talent for this kind of book, even if they obtain it, they won't be able to understand or learn from it.
"Hmm, the Wang's Yi Book is a work by some generation of the Wang family head who studied the Yi Jing. Although it only takes the rough and shallow parts of the Yi Dao, it is used for the talented children to enter the door, but it is also profound and subtle." Jiang Zhiwei agreed with Ruan Yushu's proposal.
Ge Huaien thought for a moment, thinking that this could help him avoid some danger, so he gritted his teeth and exchanged the "Wang's Easy Book", leaving seventy good deeds, which were all spent on various auxiliary items, such as copper coins, wooden signs, and appearance-changing items.
Sold two swords, got 400 good deeds, plus the reward of 100, shook the sign to get 200, Meng Qi had a total of 1,871 good deeds. The remaining weapons and the "Photography Secrets" that he had browsed through but found useless were thrown into the central light pillar.
The remaining four Long Swords, totaling 620 Good Deeds, were exchanged for the "Photography Secret" worth 220 Good Deeds, and the six refined swords worth 120 Good Deeds. Meng Qi's Good Deeds surged to 2830, even counting the consumption of Lei Yin, exceeded Jiang Zhiwei's harvest.
Thinking of everyone's bountiful harvest, Meng Qi suddenly realized that this was probably a "gift" prepared by the master of the six cycles before the death task to increase their chances of survival.
"Did you loot the sword storage?" Jiang Zhiwei couldn't help but stifle a laugh when she saw Meng Qi with so many precious swords.
"Almost." Meng Qi smiled and replied, flipping to the external scene section, finding "Purple Thunder Seven Strikes", it is the pinnacle of knife skills in the external scene, with a total value of 8,800 good deeds, the core and representative "Purple Thunder Power" is worth 1,000 good deeds, the first six strikes are worth between 800 to 1,000 good deeds, the last strike is worth 2,400 good deeds, as for the derived eight strikes and nine strikes, they are in the ranks of ordinary law bodies.
If you want to use "Purple Thunder Seven Strikes", you must learn "Purple Thunder Power". However, it doesn't have to be the main cultivation method, but can be used as a separate technique. With the assistance of "Thunder Mark" and "Divine Shadow Nine Extinctions" incomplete true intent, it won't be inferior to the main cultivation method.
It's almost two thousand good deeds... Meng Qi had a bit of a toothache and heartache, the good deeds he had accumulated with great difficulty, but he also had to take this step himself. Relying solely on Arhat's Broken Precept Blade Method was indeed fraught with hidden dangers. Not to mention that Arhat seemed to still be alive, still trapped in the cycle of rebirth. Just slashing away with a knife would easily make one become a true Buddhist monk, making people's scalps tingle.
"Zi Lei Jing's thousand merits, the fifth move 'Crazy Thunder Shakes the Nine Heavens' a thousand merits." Meng Qi made up his mind, since it was an ultimate move, it had to be fierce and overbearing, not for everyday use.
Wow, Meng Qi seemed to have heard the sound of money falling and heartbreak, and directly chose the secret recipe.
The good deeds required for the true meaning inheritance and secret recipe inheritance are basically the same, the only problem is that the true meaning inheritance may not understand anything, Meng Qi thought he had the "Shen Xiao Jiu Mie" incomplete true meaning, but he didn't dare to try it, in case he wasted his good deeds. If the "Shen Xiao Jiu Mie" incomplete true meaning helps with the cultivation of Zi Lei Jin and "Kuang Lei Zhen Jiu Xiang", then a year's time can also make him basically grasp it, and attain his own state of mind.
After flipping through the book, Meng Qi put it away, sighed, and took out the fifth and sixth passbooks of Jin Zhong's canopy given by his master, exchanging them for 300 good deeds.
"What else are you planning to exchange?" Jiang Zhi was somewhat surprised, Meng Qi still had over 800 good deeds left.
Meng Qi gazed at the hazy Central Light Column: "'Eight-Nine Mysterious Merit' Enlightenment Chapter, I want to switch my main cultivation technique before the outdoor scene."
His swordsmanship includes "Dugu's Nine Swords", his knife technique has "Tian Dao Jing Yao", control has "Lei Yan", group battle has "Undead Seal Method", and escape has the "Undead Seal Method" loaded with Phantom Body Technique - this is the complete version of "Undead Seal Method", including the Undead Seven Illusions, but Meng Qi doesn't want to be greedy, doesn't want to divide his attention, only plans to learn the technique of unloading and borrowing power, keeping his true energy at its peak.
Adding the Golden Bell Cover to the seventh pass, the sixth pass is complete. The mouth opens and can be cultivated. One year's time doesn't need to be considered at all. So Meng Qi temporarily doesn't have a particularly urgent need for martial arts. Moreover, he just relied on Jingyuan to break through, his foundation is unstable, using elixirs again will easily lead to virtual fire "burning" the body, destroying the foundation. The main cultivation method is put on the agenda.
"Eight-Nine Xuan Gong?" Zhang Yuanshan, Luo Shengyi and others blurted out, because this divine skill is the first few digits of the exchange spectrum, who hasn't noticed it!
The Eight Trigrams and Nine Elixirs, if one enters the Tao, will achieve an indestructible body. If one attains Buddhahood, they will obtain a golden body of enlightenment, unsoiled and unpolluted, unborn and undestroyed. The physical body will become sacred, imperishable for countless eons. With three heads and six arms, they will embody the laws of heaven and earth, with infinite transformations, skillfully avoiding calamities, possessing complete spiritual powers, with boundless strength.
