Lu Qianqian, Li Qingyang, and the other disciples continued their mission at Qingyang Village. The others started their day of cultivation, but they were not at the training ground. Instead, they moved to an empty space not far away.
Why?
Because the wandering swordsman called Ma Yongning was still kneeling on the training ground, holding his broken sword in a daze.
It was noon, and the sun was shining, but he did not move at all. It was as if he had lost his soul.
Ma Yongning's sword was not of high quality, but as a swordsman, he valued his sword as much as his life. Now that it was broken, it was equivalent to losing half of his life.
"Sect Master."
Su Xiaomo said weakly, "That guy is quite pitiful. Should we hold an umbrella for him?"
Jun Changxiao pointed at the broken door and said, "My door is even more pitiful than his. It was perfectly fine, but it was broken by a kick."
At this moment, Ma Yongning stood up with his broken sword and said in a deep voice, "I lost to you today. I am not as skilled as you, but I will challenge you again in the future!"
"Goodbye!"
He put on his bamboo hat and left with his broken sword.
Although the sword that he valued as much as his life was broken, he did not hold a grudge. Because he was not as skilled, he accepted his loss.
Ma Yongning shouted, "Only a true swordsman can be courageous after knowing shame!"
Jun Chang Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Is this guy sick in the head?"
…
Ma Yongning's appearance was just a small interlude. After he left, the disciples returned to the training ground to continue their cultivation. After eating lunch made by Liu Wanshi, they suddenly felt that life was too beautiful!
"Beep, beep."
Jun Changxiao said, "There is an empty space in the inner courtyard. You can use it as a vegetable garden or build a livestock pen. The sect's cafeteria will be handed over to you in the future."
"En!"
Liu Wanshi nodded. Her big eyes shone with the luster of a heavy burden.
Jun Changxiao returned to the main hall. As he cultivated Yi Jin Jing, he opened the system panel and said, "86 contribution points. How should I spend them?"
He opened the purchased items and realized that the limit of the primary grade Insight Talisman had been restored. He bought it without hesitation.
This item could be used to point out inadequacies for disciples, and it could also be used to speed up their cultivation and steal other people's martial techniques. Naturally, the more the better.
Jun Changxiao murmured, "The only reward left from the big gift package is the Escape Talisman. If an expert comes to cause trouble, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to deal with them. I have to plan ahead and buy a few talismans to protect myself."
He opened the shop and looked for items.
However, after searching for a long time, he didn't find any talismans. Instead, he found some goods with good names. However, they were flashy and useless.
For example, there was a Watertight Chamber Pot that cost 10 contribution points. According to the introduction, there was another space inside the chamber pot. The user did not need to empty the chamber pot. It also had a self-cleaning function and did not leave any smell.
If it only cost 1 contribution point, Jun Changxiao might consider buying it. After all, waking up at night to relieve himself and emptying the urinal was a troublesome matter.
There were still many strange items in the shop, but because they were worthless, they wasted the limited space of the item column.
The System said, "There are all kinds of goods in the Mall. Some of them may not be helpful to your strength. If the host is not satisfied, you can refresh the Mall, or you can get some good stuff."
"Are you trying to trick me into spending Contribution Points again?" Jun Chang knew what it was thinking, but after some consideration, he decisively chose to respawn.
"Ding!"
"Contribution Points: 66/100."
After spending 10 contribution points, a new item appeared in the Beginner's Mall.
Jun Changxiao only took a rough glance and saw a product called 'Beginner's Strength Increasing Talisman'. The price was 20 contribution points.
"So expensive?"
He clicked on the details. The content was —
"Item: Beginner's Strength Increasing Talisman."
"Effect: After use, it can increase the user's strength by five times from the original foundation."
"Duration: 60 minutes."
"Weakness: The user's physical foundation must be strong. Otherwise, after the duration is over, it will hurt the muscles and bones."
"Price: 20 contribution points."
"Increase strength by five times?" Jun Changxiao opened his eyes wide and said, "My strength is close to 2000 Jin. After using it, doesn't it mean that I have 10,000 Jin of strength?"
"Buy!"
Without hesitation, he bought it!
"Ding!"
"The host has spent 20 contribution points and obtained Beginner's Strength Increasing Talisman x1. It has been transferred into the Space Ring."
"Ding!"
"Sect Contribution Points: 46/100."
…
With 86 contribution points, he bought two talismans and refreshed it again. In an instant, he spent 40 contribution points. Jun Changxiao did not care. After all, contribution points were meant to be spent.
"This is only Beginner's Talisman. There should be Intermediate or Advanced Talismans. The increase in strength must be even more terrifying!"
While thinking, he clicked on the Intermediate's Mall. When he saw that the first item was priced at 1000 contribution points, he immediately returned to the Beginner's Mall. The corner of his mouth twitched. "What an unattainable existence!"
The System said, "With the host's current cultivation base and the sect's construction, even if you can buy the items in the Intermediate's Mall, you won't be able to use them."
Jun Changxiao ignored it and continued to browse through the Beginner's Mall. When he saw an item, he immediately jumped up from his seat.
'What did I see?'
He saw a handgun with the words — Magically modified, Desert Eagle!
"There's really a gun?"
Jun Changxiao's mouth was wide open.
When he refreshed Yi Jinjing, he wondered if he could get a 98K. He did not expect to get a gun in the second refresh, although it was only a handgun.
He clicked on the details —
"Item: Magically modified, Desert Eagle."
"Introduction: The original 0.357 caliber handgun from Israel. After modification, it is suitable for the world of high martial arts. It uses crystal nuclei as energy to condense bullets and fire them."
"Effect: Fast firing rate, strong penetrating power."
"Duration: Permanent."
"Weakness: Although it has been modified, it has inherited the usual strong recoil of firearms. Not suitable for long-range attacks."
"Price: 10 contribution points."
Jun Changxiao murmured, "So it's not powered by bullets, but by crystal nuclei."
The original owner's memory contained information related to crystal nuclei. It was the energy core that existed in the body of a beast. Even the lowest grade crystal nuclei would be worth 1000 taels in the market.
"Should I buy it or not?" Jun Changxiao hesitated.
Although the gun was modified, he could not be sure whether it was powerful or not. It would be awkward if someone caught the bullet with their bare hands. Moreover, there was no crystal nuclei to power it.
After hesitating for a while.
Jun Changxiao still clicked on the purchase option. After all, he came from Earth and had a special feeling for guns since he was young.
"Ding!"
"The host has spent 10 contribution points. Magically modified, Desert Eagle x1. It has been transferred to the Space Ring."
"Ding!"
"Sect Contribution Points: 36/100."
Before the notification ended, Jun Changxiao entered the Space Ring and held the silver-white Desert Eagle in his hand. "It's heavy. It feels better than the toy guns I used to play with."
"Swoosh!"
He held the gun with one hand and pointed at the void. He pretended to be cool and said, "Sorry, I have a gun."
"Pa! Pa! Pa! "
The childish Jun Changxiao pretended to fire a few shots.
At this moment, the system notification sounded in his ears again —
"Ding!"
"Tiger Huo plowed 10 mu of land, sect mission completed."
"Ding!"
"Sect Achievement Points: 3/100."
"Sect Contribution Points: 37/100."
