'Silver Shirt!' Without any hesitation, Duan Ling Tian immediately walked toward the few saint tokens that contained Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactics.
His target was a Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactic that contained the Silver Shirt.
Silver Shirt was a Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactic defensive technique. It was also the upgraded version of the defensive technique, Copper Shirt, that he was cultivating.
Lin Qing Rong was the one who told him about this.
Soon after, Duan Ling Tian found the Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactic that contained the Silver Shirt.
"Senior." Duan Ling Tian looked at the old man who was nearby as he held the saint token in his hand.
Whoosh!
The old man disappeared from his spot and re-appeared before Duan Ling Tian with a Crystal Card in his hand. Duan Ling Tian took out his card as well.
When he was on the Merit Pavilion's first level, Duan Ling Tian had witnessed the staff transferring 3,100 Merit Points into his Crystal Card.
Therefore, he mimicked the staff and placed his Crystal Card on top of the old man's card.
However, he had no idea what he should do next. At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt a little embarrassed.
"Exert your Spiritual Energy and think of transferring 1,000 Merit Points to me," the old man reminded Duan Ling Tian when he noticed his embarrassment.
Hearing that, Duan Ling Tian immediately exerted his Spiritual Energy into the Crystal Card in his hand and focused his mind on transferring 1,000 Merit Points from his Crystal Card to the old man's card.
All of a sudden, his Crystal Card flashed and a streak of light shot into the old man's Crystal Card.
When Duan Ling Tian exerted his True Energy into the Crystal Card, he could clearly see that he was only left with 2,100 Merit Points.
'That simple?' Duan Ling Tian was surprised. He did not expect transferring Merit Points from one Crystal Card to another was so easy.
"You can read the saint token you have with you now," the old man said.
Duan Ling Tian nodded and subsequently exerted his Spiritual Energy into the saint token in his hand.
At this moment, the information in the saint token rushed into Duan Ling Tian's head. It was so deeply entrenched in his mind that it would be difficult for him to get rid of it.
However, among the sea of information, only the Silver Shirt's information was useful to Duan Ling Tian. The others were useless to him.
To avoid the old man's suspicion, Duan Ling Tian did not put down the saint token immediately when he was finished with it.
Ordinary Martial Cultivators would need at least fifteen minutes to memorize all the techniques at the Fundamental Awareness Stage in the Saint Grade Martial Tactic.
Guo Li was occupied with picking a saint token that contained a Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactic and transferring 1,000 Merit Points to the old man while Duan Ling Tian pretended to be absorbed with the saint token he held in his hand.
Subsequently, she began to study the content of the Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactic in the saint token.
After approximately 15 minutes had passed, Duan Ling Tian quietly put the saint token in his hand back to where it was.
Guo Li also woke up after a while.
She had memorized the technique up to the Fundamental Awareness Stage in the Saint Grade Martial Tactic.
She would not able to look at the content after this so she returned the saint token.
After both of them returned the saint tokens, they made their way up to the third level of the Merit Pavilion.
They could exchange their Merit Points for Saint Weapons at the third level of the Merit Pavilion.
To their surprise, 90% of the Saint Weapons available on the third level of the Merit Pavilion were Human Rank Primitive Saint Weapons. They all sparkled dazzlingly.
"Senior, may I ask how many Merit Points do we need to exchange for a Human Rank Primitive Saint Weapon?" Guo Li asked as she looked at the old man patrolling the third level of the Merit Pavilion.
"2,000 Merit Points," the old man said calmly.
"2,000 Merit Points?" Guo Li's eyes widened. "So expensive?"
However, the old man did not respond to her. He had assumed she could not afford the items.
Although Guo Li thought it was expensive, she eventually picked a Human Rank Primitive Saint Weapon and exchanged for it with her Merit Points… Currently, the Crystal Card in her hands was only left with 100 Merit Points.
"Everything's back to square one." Duan Ling Tian shook his head as he looked at the number shown on Guo Li's Crystal Card.
Guo Li who was upset with the number of Merit Points she had left regained her senses when she heard Duan Ling Tian's words. She asked, "Duan Ling Tian, what did you say? Everything's back to square one? What does that mean?"
It was a saying back in Hua, or earth, where Duan Ling Tian was from in his past life. It was only natural Guo Li did not know what it meant.
"It means starting over again," Duan Ling Tian said.
Guo Li finally understood him after he explained it.
Although she felt pain from losing her Merit Points, she was smiling when she looked at the Human Rank Primitive Saint Weapon in her hands. The weapon she was holding was a whip. It was similar to the weapon she had.
She decided on this Human Rank Primitive Saint Weapon because it was practical.
"Duan Ling Tian, you're not exchanging for any weapons?" Guo Li could not help but ask when she saw Duan Ling Tian did not look at or select any Human Rank Primitive Saint Weapons.
"Let's go to the fourth level," Duan Ling Tian said with a smile.
"Duan Ling Tian, I saw a bow over there earlier. It's a Human Rank Primitive Saint Weapon bow… You really don't want to get that?" Guo Li asked again to be certain.
Duan Ling Tian shook his head.
What a joke!
The Sun Shooting Bow he possessed was a lot more superior than the Human Rank Primitive Saint Weapon. It was unnecessary for him to waste his Merit Points to exchange for an inferior weapon.
Since he did not plan to exchange anything, Duan Ling Tian took the lead to leave the third level and head straight to the fourth level of the Merit Pavilion.
Guo Li followed close behind him.
The second level of the Merit Pavilion was where they borrowed Saint Grace Martial Tactics with their Merit Points.
The third level was where they exchanged for Saint Weapons with their Merit Points.
Meanwhile, the fourth level was where they exchanged for Saint Grade Pills with their Merit Points, just like Duan Ling Tian had speculated.
'One Star Saint Grade Pills? Two Star Saint Grade Pills?' Duan Ling Tian learned about Saint Grade Pills when he arrived at the fourth level of the Merit Pavilion. He learned that Saint Grade Pills had nine grades, starting from one star and ending at nine stars.
Naturally, one star was the lowest, and nine star was the highest.
They could exchange for One Star Saint Grade Pills and Two Star Saint Grade Pills on the fourth level of the Merit Pavilion.
"It's really more powerful than Royal Grade medicinal pills."
It was not difficult for him to see that the One Star Saint Grade Pill's medicinal efficacy was far better than the Royal Grade medicinal pills when he used his Spiritual Energy.
Naturally, they were not called Royal Grade medicinal pills at the Dao Martial Saint Land. The same medicinal pills were called Innate Medicinal Pill at the Dao Martial Saint Land.
'20 Merit Points for a One Star Saint Grade Pill, and 100 Merit Points for a Two Star Saint Grade Pill… Such an astronomical figure!' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, his lips slightly twitching.
No matter if it were the One Star Saint Grade Pills or Two Star Saint Grade Pills, they had Healing Medicinal Pills and Sensory Pills that could elevate one's sensitivity toward Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy within a short period of time.
The former was for healing while the latter was to assist in one's cultivation.
"11 Two Star Healing Medicinal Pills and ten Two Star Sensory Pills," Duan Ling Tian said to the other old man patrolling the fourth level of the Merit Pavilion.
When he had just arrived on the fourth level, he had used Divine Eye to check on the old man. He discovered he was at the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage similar to the old men on the previous two levels.
Duan Ling Tian picked Two Star Saint Grade Pills that cost 100 Merit Points each.
21 pills amounted to 2,100 Merit Points.
Duan Ling Tian transferred all of the Merit Points he had left in his Crystal Card into the old man's card and successfully obtain the Saint Grade Pills he desired.
'Two Star Saint Grade Pills... That's two grades higher than Royal Grade medicinal pills… I wonder how's the medicinal efficacy like.' Duan Ling Tian put the 21 medicinal pills away, he could not wait to test them out.
The only thing he wanted to do now was to return so he could test the Two Star Saint Grade Pills' medicinal efficacy.
Guo Li's lips subtly twitched when she saw him spending so extravagantly.
Meanwhile, she had used her remaining 100 Merit Points to exchange for five One Star Saint Grade Pills.
She obtained three One Star Healing Medicinal Pills and two One Star Sensory Pills.
Since they had completed their objectives here, they prepared to leave.
They began to make their descent from the fourth level, but they stopped when they were on the stairs of the third level of the Merit Pavilion. This was because they encountered someone they knew.
"Sister Guo, congratulations… It's a surprise that you gained Master City Governor's protection." The person they bumped into was Zheng Jian who was ranked No.5 in the Thirteen Gangsters.
He congratulated Guo Li with a smile on his face. However, Guo Li ignored him.
Her behavior caused the smile on Zheng Jian's face to freeze.
As the smile on Zheng Jian's face faded completely, he shifted his eyes from Guo Li to Duan Ling Tian. His eyes were filled with killing intent. It seemed like he could not wait to kill Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian, on the other hand, was fearless as he locked eyes with Zheng Jian.
"Duan Ling Tian, if you're a man… Challenge me when you return to the Latent Dragon Camp and take cottage no.5!" Zheng Jian glared coldly at Duan Ling Tian. His voice entered Duan Ling Tian's ears through True Energy Voice Transmission, provoking him.
Judging by Zheng Jian's words, it was obvious he was unaware that the City Governor of Mound Hill City had made an exception and accepted Duan Ling Tian as his pupil.
Zheng Jian did not step out of his cottage since he returned to the Latent Dragon Camp three days ago. He only left the Latent Dragon Camp today with the purpose of coming to the Merit Pavilion.
During his journey here, he heard about the City Governor of Mound Hill City's order to protect Guo Li.
However, the news of Duan Ling Tian becoming the disciple of the City Governor of Mound Hill City had yet to spread out. This was why he was unaware of it. Otherwise, he definitely would not have the guts to provoke Duan Ling Tian.
"I'll be waiting for you at the Latent Dragon Camp." Duan Ling Tian's expression remained the same, but there was a raging fire in the depth of his eyes that revealed his current emotion.
'Even the nicest person has his or her limits!'
This Zheng Jian had been provoking him over and over again. Did Zheng Jian really think he could treat him like a rotten persimmon that he could do whatever he wanted to?
"I hope you remember your words… Don't you hide in your cottage when I return." Zheng Jian smiled slyly when he thought of his plan coming to fruition.
