Chapter 326 Good Deeds Pavilion
After being registered, Zhang Lingyu received his belongings.
"As expected of a long-established Nascent Soul sect, they even provide a low-grade Golden Core robe upon entry!" Zhang Lingyu touched the robe, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, and couldn't help but praise it in his heart.
It's unclear whether every Golden Core guest elder receives this honor, or whether it was due to the current wartime situation and the Jade Light Pavilion's fear that he might perish prematurely.
Overall, it's a good product.
Why not take advantage of a free lunch?
He draped his robe over the outside of the garment and poured his magical power into it to slowly refine it. Although it was an unclaimed item, it would still take several days to refine.
Now, with the outer robe and the inner armor transformed from the Spirit Puppet Myriad Transformations Box, even if he cannot defeat an ordinary mid-stage Golden Core cultivator with his current cultivation level, he can at least protect himself.
If we're talking about what's missing now, it's a magical artifact that allows for flight.
Among the talismans given by True Lord Yunhe, some were for escaping, but talismans are not like magic treasures; they will eventually run out.
"Sigh, that insect cultivator killed by the True Monarch didn't have any magic weapon to escape with. I'll ask Elder Kui later if we can get one on credit."
In addition to this robe, Zhang Lingyu also received an identity token, which allowed him to enter and exit most areas of the Jade Light Pavilion without restriction, as well as the various peaks and the Scripture Pavilion.
Apart from the core texts, all other classic texts can be viewed.
Alternatively, one can hold a position in other places within the sect. For example, at Song Siyu's strong request, Zhang Lingyu was given a nominal position as the Transmission Elder on Xiaoyun Peak.
The meaning is simple: just give your disciples some pointers on cultivation whenever you have nothing else to do. Even if you don't have real power, you can still get a few disciples to run errands.
However, Zhang Lingyu would prefer to take up a position at Danyuan Peak, but unfortunately, its peak master is currently in the north defending against the Blood Flame Sect and the other five sects, so he doesn't know if there will be a chance to meet him. He can only wait for the next time.
Besides these benefits, guest elders can receive a fixed amount of 100,000 spirit stones and a bottle of pills for improving their cultivation every year, even if they do nothing.
As for the most important merits, in addition to completing tasks issued by the sect, various peaks, and cultivators, they can also be exchanged for cultivation items such as spirit stones, spiritual objects, cultivation techniques, and magic tools.
For example, Zhang Lingyu is an alchemist. Every year, as long as he refines pills for the Jade Light Pavilion or accepts commissions from other sect cultivators, he can earn a considerable amount of merit. Isn't this more reliable than fighting to the death?
However, the fastest way to gain merit is during wartime, when you can make a fortune for every demonic cultivator or monster you kill.
In addition to all of the above, Zhang Lingyu was also able to open up a cave dwelling of his own halfway up Yuming Mountain, and cultivate on a fourth-grade high-quality spiritual vein, something that many Golden Core cultivators could only envy.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, why don't we go and take a look at the Good Deeds Pavilion now?"
After registering Zhang Lingyu and receiving his first year's salary, Song Siyu briefly took him for a stroll around the Jade Light Pavilion. Because she was still worried about the safety of the disciples of the Sky Cloud Peak in Tianliu City, her voice was somewhat hurried.
Although my actions were somewhat irregular, times have changed.
She had taken over the position of peak master from Bai Yanzhenjun, and it was absolutely crucial that she did not fail. Every second of delay would increase the danger to the disciples of Xiaoyun Peak.
"Alright, we'll do as Fellow Daoist Song says." Zhang Lingyu saw through her thoughts and nodded slightly.
Everything in the Merit Pavilion requires merit points to exchange. As a Golden Core cultivator who has just joined the Jade Light Pavilion, he has not made any contributions. Even if he could exchange it with spirit stones, what kind of spiritual item would not require tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of merit points?
He only came to take a look to see if there were any good spiritual items.
The intelligence system shows that the spiritual items and materials of the Golden Core level with lightning attribute are all in extremely dangerous places, and most of them are not even within the territory of Zhao. Whether from the perspective of the current situation or the degree of danger, now is not the time to go.
As a long-established Nascent Soul sect, Jade Light Pavilion should have a considerable amount of stock.
...
The Good Deeds Pavilion is divided into four levels, corresponding to the Qi Refining to Nascent Soul stages. However, the fourth level is practically just for show. At most, the Jade Light Pavilion only has two Nascent Soul True Monarchs. If there are any good things at the Nascent Soul level, they are only for the two of them to use.
As soon as Zhang Lingyu and his companion entered the pavilion, they headed to the third floor.
The third floor is not very large, and there are very few items on the shelves. This does not mean that these are the items that Golden Core cultivators can use in Jade Light Pavilion. Rather, most of the spiritual items and magic treasures are stored in the treasure vault, and these items on the surface are just for show.
Everything available for selection in the Good Deeds Pavilion is registered, with a clear record of when it was brought in and when it was redeemed.
Even the effects of each treasure are recorded in detail.
"Fellow Daoist Song, does the Good Deeds Pavilion actually allow guest elders to exchange for cultivation techniques that can lead to the Nascent Soul level?" Zhang Lingyu asked in surprise after picking up the jade book containing the cultivation technique and flipping through a few pages.
"Fellow Daoist Song, does the Good Deeds Pavilion actually allow guest elders to exchange for cultivation techniques that can lead to the Nascent Soul level?" Zhang Lingyu asked in surprise after picking up the jade book containing the cultivation technique and flipping through a few pages.
Aside from cultivation materials, the most troublesome thing for cultivators is cultivation techniques.
With cultivation methods, cultivators have guidance on their path of cultivation, ensuring that their journey is not cut off.
"That's right, just as you said, there are three cultivation techniques that guest elders in the sect are allowed to exchange for, which can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul level. However, they are all fifth-grade, which is not very good," Song Siyu replied.
The founder of Jade Light Pavilion came from Central Continent. In addition, he was a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage. At least a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators died at his hands in his lifetime.
The cultivation techniques and inheritances of those fallen Nascent Soul cultivators naturally fell into his hands, and together with those collected in later generations, they formed the foundation he possesses today.
The core inheritance of Jade Light Pavilion is divided into three books and four scriptures, all of which are sixth-grade cultivation techniques. Among them, the best is the sixth-grade cultivation technique "Heavenly Bright Jade Scripture" which can directly lead to the Nascent Soul stage. Due to its high difficulty, there are only a handful of people in the sect who can cultivate it at present.
The Nascent Soul cultivation techniques placed in the Good Deeds Pavilion are all relatively inferior ones collected over the generations, which is why they were able to be seen by guest elders like Zhang Lingyu.
Even if it's the worst, it's still a cultivation technique that points directly to the Nascent Soul stage, something that countless Golden Core cultivators envy but cannot obtain.
"The fifth-grade cultivation technique 'Mysterious Dark Water Scripture' yields 2.16 million merit points, 'Mountain and River Qi Suppressing Mountain Technique' yields 2.49 million merit points, 'Southern Bright Fire Record' yields 2.9 million merit points..."
Looking at the three fifth-grade Nascent Soul cultivation techniques available for exchange on the jade record, Zhang Lingyu was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a long time.
Simply put, it's just too expensive!
You can't acquire any skill without accumulating experience for decades.
However, these are Nascent Soul cultivation techniques after all. If the Jade Light Pavilion didn't have a large reserve of cultivation techniques, why would they put these out in the open? But if any one of these three were auctioned off, it would fetch at least three or four million spirit stones.
The prices on Yulu are quite reasonable.
"It's a pity that they have techniques related to water and fire, but not those related to thunder..."
Zhang Lingyu felt a pang of regret, but then she thought, "Thunder is domineering and its techniques are hard to find. Even if the Jade Light Pavilion gets it, they will cherish it and keep it close to their hearts. How can they let outsiders use it?"
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, with your aptitude, if you formally join the sect, you will not only be immediately taught the Three Books and Four Scriptures, but at least you will be able to obtain a decent fifth-grade cultivation technique after a few years. If you join my Xiaoyun Peak, you will also be immediately taught the first two levels of the Hundred Transformations Dividing Light Sword Scripture. If you make great contributions in the future, it is not impossible for you to obtain the Three Books and Four Scriptures."
Even now, Song Siyu is still trying to persuade him.
According to her understanding, the best cultivation method in the Zhang family is the fourth-grade cultivation method "Purple Sun Secret Manual". Although it can be cultivated to the Golden Core stage, how good can it be?
A good cultivation technique is remarkably effective in both cultivation speed and combat power.
Once Zhang Lingyu achieved the Golden Core stage, he needed to find a new cultivation method. However, Nascent Soul cultivation methods were not so easy to find, and secret realms and ancient cave dwellings were not things you could just stumble upon on the roadside.
It's also rare to see one at auctions. Whenever one appears, it attracts countless people to fight for it, and you might not be able to get it without spending a million or even several million spirit stones.
Which independent cultivator would spend decades or even centuries searching for a cultivation technique, perhaps even spending all their energy and spirit stones in the end, only to find nothing?
Even if the source of the cultivation method is found, the minimum cost for the Nascent Soul cultivation method in the Merit Pavilion is 2.16 million merit points.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Song. I will give this matter serious consideration," Zhang Lingyu replied with a smile, closing the jade scroll containing the cultivation technique.
The "Burning Primordial Fire Scripture" he is currently practicing is not complete, but the Golden Core chapter alone is already at the fifth grade. According to the information left by True Person Mingyu, the Nascent Soul chapter is at least at the sixth grade.
Whether it's for the subsequent cultivation techniques or the second chapter of the "Spiritual Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture," he still needs to go to the Qin Kingdom; there's no need to exchange for the cultivation techniques here.
Even if you join the Jade Light Pavilion now, you won't be immediately granted the Nascent Soul cultivation technique, and even if you are, you won't have time to cultivate it.
Besides, if you really want it, isn't it right in front of you?
As long as Zhang Lingyu is willing to speak, the Spirit Puppet Myriad Transformations Box will immediately grant him the Spirit Puppet Sect's most powerful cultivation technique that leads directly to the Nascent Soul stage. This magic treasure has long wanted him to join the Spirit Puppet Sect, even if it's just as a nominal membership.
Why spend so many spirit stones?
"Since that's the case, I won't try to persuade you anymore..." Seeing that Zhang Lingyu was unmoved, Song Siyu temporarily put her mind at ease.
On second thought, was it that Zhang Lingyu was arrogant and thought he could find a Nascent Soul cultivation technique, or did he have some good fortune in his early years and get his hands on the technique early on?
After thinking about it, she decided that the latter was more likely.
After all, the Zhang family was only a Foundation Establishment family, and their cultivation techniques were only at the fourth rank. Even the most talented genius could not form a Core Formation so quickly. As far as she knew, Zhang Lingyu was not particularly outstanding in his early years.
However, everyone has their own destiny, and she did not intend to delve into it or tell the sect.
Zhang Lingyu had done her a favor, so why would she turn her back on him after she had served her purpose?
After reading the cultivation technique, Zhang Lingyu turned his attention to spiritual objects and materials.
Most of the spiritual materials and items in the Good Deeds Pavilion are based on the Five Elements, since the cultivation methods of the mainstream cultivators in the cultivation world also tend to be based on the Five Elements.
After looking through them from top to bottom, there were only a dozen or so spiritual materials with the lightning attribute.
Most of them are fifth-grade low-grade and mid-grade, there are only two high-grade ones, and only one sixth-grade one, and the prices are ridiculously high.
Zhang Lingyu doesn't need anything that good right now. As long as he makes sure his natal magic weapon is crafted first, he can gradually upgrade its quality later.
After careful selection, he exchanged spirit stones for 80,000 merit points and put a fist-sized Thunder Soul Crystal into his pocket. This item can increase the toughness of magic weapons, making it perfect for use on flying swords.
"Thunder Soul Crystal?"
Standing to the side, Song Siyu glanced at it and was secretly surprised. She clearly cultivated the fire element, so how did she exchange for lightning attribute spiritual materials?
On second thought, he probably wanted to forge those six lightning swords into magical artifacts.
After Zhang Lingyu made the exchange, the two continued towards Xiaoyun Peak.
Since we've come all the way to Yuguang Pavilion, we should at least see our clansmen, right?
After leaving the main hall, Song Siyu sent a message to the peak, asking Zhang Lingche to gather all the members of the Zhang family to Xiaoyun Peak first, so as not to have to search for them one by one.
Zhang Lingxiao and Zhang Lingyue are both Foundation Establishment cultivators. They have already gone north with the main force to resist the demonic path. Several others who have reached the late stage of Qi Refining have also gone with them.
Only a group of mid-stage and early-stage cultivators remain at the sect; once they reach the late stage, they will still be sent to the front lines.
"We pay our respects to Peak Master Song!"
After the two landed, Zhang Lingche and the others, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects. Unexpectedly, there was another person standing next to the woman, who turned out to be Zhang Lingyu. They were greatly surprised and respectfully called her "Clan Chief".
"I have stepped down from the position of clan leader, and I don't hold any official position now. You can just call me clan elder brother or clan uncle," Zhang Lingyu said with a smile.
"Although you are not the clan leader, you are now a guest elder of the sect and a transmission elder of my Xiaoyun Peak."
Song Siyu shook her head and smiled gently: "Lingche, your cousin just broke through to the Golden Core stage two days ago. From now on, your family is also a Golden Core Immortal Clan!"
"Congratulations, cousin/uncle, on successfully forming your Core! We pay our respects to the True Immortal!"
Zhang Lingche and the others were stunned at first, then their faces were filled with ecstasy, and their breathing became heavier.
"Haha, my family has also become a Golden Core Immortal Clan!"
"Let's see who dares to bully us again!"
Because she came from a family that had established a foundation, she was often bullied by others, both openly and secretly, within the sect. However, her family's influence did not extend to the sect, and the only people she could rely on were Zhang Lingxiao and her brother. The other party was only able to gain a foothold in the sect by relying on their status as disciples of True Person Xuanhao.
it's good now.
Zhang Lingyu's Core Formation brought joy not only to his family but also to them. Now that he was both a Golden Core cultivator and a guest elder of the sect, their status within the sect had undoubtedly risen several levels!
This is a genuine Golden Core, connected by blood!
"I just returned from the Sect Leader's place. I was planning to take this opportunity to test your cultivation progress, but unfortunately I have to return to Tianliu City with Peak Master Song later, so there's no time left. I can only visit you briefly."
"We are already very grateful that you came to see us. Please focus on the important matters. We are safe in the sect," Zhang Lingche and the others quickly said.
Upon hearing the other party mention Tianliu City, Zhang Lingche and the others immediately understood what was going on; it was most likely a mission to resist the demon race.
Zhang Lingyu nodded, and with just a light glance, he immediately understood the cultivation levels of the group.
Zhang Lingche has the highest cultivation level and has already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. He is only one step away from the later stage. After all, he is cultivating on Xiaoyun Peak and has his connections, so his cultivation resources are not much different.
In addition, since it was Zhang Xingfu's only spiritual aperture, a lot of resources were also sent to the sect.
As for the others, none of them had been seen before. Most of them entered during their seclusion. They were all of the "Yuan" generation. Because they came in a hurry, they did not inquire about the news in the clan.
He first asked their names, then gave them some cultivation supplies, and before leaving, he instructed them: "Don't worry, I will be coming to the sect many times in the future. During this time, you must cultivate diligently."
