Chương 55: Chapter 55
Disciples such as Lu Qianqian and Li Qingyang continued to go to Qingyang Village to complete tasks. The others started a day of practice, but instead of training in the martial arts field, they moved to a vacant space nearby.
Why?
Because a wandering swordsman named Ma Yongning was still kneeling on the stage in the martial arts field, holding his broken sword, lost in thought.
From noon till dusk, under the blazing sun, he remained motionless, as if his spirit had been shattered.
Ma Yongning's sword wasn't of high quality, but as a swordsman who treated his sword as his life, its destruction was akin to losing half of his existence.
"Head," Su Xiaomo said weakly, "that guy looks really pitiful. Should we give him an umbrella for some shade?"
Jun Changxiao pointed at the broken door in the distance and replied, "My door is more pitiful than him. It was kicked to pieces."
At this moment, Ma Yongning stood up, clutching his broken sword, and declared, "Today, I was defeated by your sword. I, Ma Yongning, am not as skilled as others, but I will return to challenge you again in the future! Farewell!"
He took his belongings and left with his broken sword, though it pained him to see his life's weapon destroyed. However, he bore no resentment, for he acknowledged his own lack of skill.
Ma Yongning shouted, "To be strong and fearless is the true way of a swordsman!"
Jun Changxiao rolled his eyes and muttered, "Is this guy crazy?"
...
Ma Yongning's appearance was just a brief interlude. After he left, the disciples returned to the martial arts field to continue their practice. Later, they enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by Liu Wanshi, feeling that life couldn't get any better!
"By the way," Jun Changxiao said, "there's some vacant land in the inner courtyard. You can turn it into a vegetable garden or set up a livestock pen for the canteen."
"Okay!" Liu Wanshi nodded enthusiastically, her eyes shining with excitement.
Jun Changxiao returned to the hall and, while practicing the Yijinjing technique, opened the system panel and wondered, "How should I spend these 86 points?"
He clicked on the purchased product section and saw that the original product insight had recovered. Without hesitation, he bought it.
This item could provide valuable guidance to the disciples and also allow him to quickly learn and steal other martial arts techniques.
Jun Changxiao mused, "The rewards from the big gift package are limited. If a master were to challenge us, it would be difficult to cope. I need to plan ahead and buy a few spells for self-defense."
He scrolled through the store looking for useful items but found many flashy and arguably useless products instead.
For example, a leak-proof night pot worth 10 contribution points. The description said it had internal space, eliminating the need to empty it, and it came with a cleaning function, leaving no odor.
If it had cost only 1 contribution point, Jun Changxiao might have considered buying it, as emptying a night pot at night is a hassle.
The store had many such whimsical products, taking up valuable space in the product bar.
The system commented, "The mall's products are diverse, and while some may not directly enhance strength, they could still be useful. If you're unsatisfied, you can refresh the mall to find better items."
"Are you trying to trick me into spending my contribution points?" Jun Changxiao understood the system's ploy but, after a moment's thought, decided to refresh the store.
"Ding!"
"Contribution: 66/100."
After consuming 10 points, the mall refreshed, presenting new products.
Jun Changxiao immediately noticed an item called the "Elementary Power Boost Talisman," priced at 20 contribution points.
"So expensive?" he muttered.
He clicked on the details, revealing:
**Item: Elementary Power Boost Talisman**
**Effect: Instantly increases the user's power fivefold.**
**Duration: 60 minutes.**
**Drawback: The user's physical foundation must be strong, or they risk injury after the effect wears off.**
**Price: 20 contribution points.**
"Five times the power?" Jun Changxiao's eyes widened. "I currently have nearly two thousand pounds of strength. With this, I could have ten thousand pounds of strength!"
"Buy it!" He decided without hesitation.
"Ding!"
"The host consumes 20 contribution points and obtains an Elementary Power Boost Talisman, which has been delivered to the space ring."
"Ding!"
"Martial contribution: 46/100."
Having spent 40 points on two spells and a refresh, Jun Changxiao didn't mind. Contribution points were meant to be used.
"This is just the elementary level. There must be intermediate and advanced versions with even more terrifying power multipliers!"
He clicked on the intermediate mall, but the first product was priced at 1000 contribution points. He immediately returned to the elementary mall, muttering, "That's beyond my reach!"
The system explained, "Given your current cultivation level and the sect's development, even if you could afford the intermediate products, you wouldn't be able to use them effectively."
Ignoring the system, Jun Changxiao continued browsing the elementary mall until he saw something that made him jump from his seat.
What did he see?
A pistol named the "Magic-Modified Desert Eagle!"
"Are there really guns?" he exclaimed, stunned.
When he first got the Yijinjing, he wondered if he could get a 98K rifle. Instead, he found a gun, albeit just a pistol.
He clicked on the details:
**Item: Magic-Modified Desert Eagle**
**Description: Originally an Israeli pistol with a 0.357 caliber, modified for high-martial worlds. It uses crystal nuclei to fire condensed energy bullets.**
**Effect: High rate of fire and strong penetration.**
**Duration: Permanent.**
**Drawback: Despite modifications, it retains the strong recoil of firearms, making it unsuitable for long-range attacks.**
**Price: 10 contribution points.**
"A gun powered by crystal nuclei?" Jun Changxiao mused.
According to what he knew, crystal nuclei were energy cores found in fierce beasts, even low-level ones could be quite valuable in the market.
"Should I buy it?" Jun Changxiao hesitated. While the gun seemed powerful, it was hard to gauge its strength. It would be embarrassing if someone could catch the bullets with their bare hands, and he currently had no crystal nuclei to power it.
After some thought, he decided to buy it. After all, he had a special fondness for guns since childhood.
"Ding!"
"The host consumes 10 contribution points to obtain a Magic-Modified Desert Eagle, which has been delivered to the space ring."
"Ding!"
"Martial contribution: 36/100."
As the notification sounded, Jun Changxiao reached into the space ring and held the silver Desert Eagle in his hand. "It's heavy and feels much better than the toy guns I played with as a kid."
"Brush!"
He pointed the gun at the void, pretending to fire. "Sorry, I have a gun."
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
The childish Jun Changxiao pretended to shoot a few more times.
At that moment, the system prompted again:
"Ding!"
"Huo Xiaohu has plowed ten acres of land, completing a martial mission."
"Ding!"
"Martial achievements: 3/100."
"Martial contribution: 37/100."
