This chubby young man didn’t seem to notice, and just reached out with his chubby right hand to touch his smooth chin. After pondering for a while, he suddenly seemed to think of something and asked tentatively.
“Junior Brother Lu Yun, are you interested in the Pure Yang Aura martial arts distributed by the Martial Academy, so you’ve been trying to cultivate it these two days?”
Lu Yun shook his head: “The minimum requirement for cultivating Pure Yang Aura is to advance to the Meridian Passage Realm and generate True Qi in the body. I’m still a ways away from breaking through.”
“Oh, that’s right.” The chubby young man was slightly taken aback, and then kindly reminded him, “Although you have a Level 5 Innate Talent, 1 would still advise you not to cultivate this martial art. When you break through to the Meridian Passage Realm, you can choose another one at the Cultivation Technique Pavilion.”
“Why is that?” Lu Yun asked, puzzled.
Pure Yang Aura is indeed a top-notch martial art, and cultivating it to perfection can open up twelve meridians. Without a convincing reason, it would be impossible for Lu Yun to give up on cultivating it.
Next, the chubby young man explained the reasons one by one.
It turned out that Pure Yang Aura was indeed a top-notch martial art, and there was no better martial art in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion.
However, Pure Yang Aura is not easy to enter. Every generation, new disciples with a five-star innate talent or above would obtain Pure Yang Aura, but very few of them would ultimately enter it, and most would eventually give up.
Moreover, even if one’s talent was good enough to successfully enter the Pure Yang Aura, one could only cultivate it to great accomplishment and open up nine meridians.
Taking such a huge risk, one could only open up nine meridians in the end. Why not just choose a top-notch martial art from the start?
For others, Pure Yang Aura is like a chicken rib, tasteless when eaten, but a pity to discard.
But for Lu Yun, it was not a chicken rib.
On the contrary, it was a shortcut for him to increase his combat power by leaps and bounds.
“How about it, Senior Brother treats you well, right? 1 told you such confidential news.” The chubby young man stared at Lu Yun with a serious look on his face.
“Oh, thank you for telling me, Senior Brother.” Lu Yun’s eyes were shining, and then he asked, “But just now, Senior Brother said that you came to deliver the Entry Level assessment reward. I’m curious about your identity.”
The chubby young man’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a glint of shrewdness.
“Oh, look at my memory, I almost forgot the main business.” He slapped his forehead and introduced himself, “My name is Duan Qing, and you can call me Senior Brother Duan. 1 am currently on duty at the Internal Affairs Hall, responsible for distributing Entry Level assessment rewards.”
With that, he took out four special porcelain bottles and handed them to Lu Yun.
“This is a Third Grade Body Tempering Pill, a bottle of Meridian Pill, and the reward for Level 5 Ordinary Innate Talent…”
“All, I’m really bothering Senior Brother Duan, making you come all this way in person. Come on, sit down and have some tea.” With some polite words, Lu Yun grabbed the four bottles of pills with a look of concern as if he was afraid the other party would change his mind.
Seeing that Lu Yun only had eyes for the pills and completely ignored him, Duan Qing instantly had this thought in his mind.
This Junior Brother Lu Yun was a fellow of the same path!
“Junior Brother, as a senior and your Senior Brother, 1 need to give you a piece of advice.” Duan Qing retracted his smile and put on a serious look.
“You are currently only in the mid-phase of the Enter Martial Realm. Your top priority is to quickly temper your body, advance to the Meridian Passage Realm as soon as possible, and gain a foothold among the elite disciples.
If you haven’t advanced to the Meridian Passage Realm by the end of the Newcomer Protection Period, not only will you be demoted to an ordinary disciple, but your various benefits and treatment will also be reduced.”
“So that’s how it is!” Lu Yun frowned slightly, playing with the small porcelain bottle in his hand.
Don’t worry, Junior Brother, I think you are quite pleasing, and I might as well help you.”
“Oh, how does Senior Brother plan to help me?”
“Junior Brother, your five-star Innate Talent is not bad, but you just lack cultivation resources. But now it’s different, the Meridian Pill in your hand is quite valuable. If exchanged for Body Tempering Pills, it would be enough to help you cultivate to the Meridian Passage Realm.”
“How about this, you just arrived at the Martial Academy not long ago and are not familiar with the situation. I’ll help you deal with this Meridian Pill.”
“That doesn’t sound good!” Lu Yun hesitated.
“It’s okay, I like to help others, especially talented disciples like you.”
Duan Qing said confidently, “According to the normal market price, one Meridian Pill can be exchanged for five Body Tempering Pills. Senior Brother sees you as a kindred spirit, so I’ll give you six.”
“What do you think, Junior Brother?”
With that, he stared intently at Lu Yun.
No, it should be the Meridian Pill in Lu Yun’s hand.
“Alright.” Lu Yun agreed without hesitation.
Duan Qing didn’t lie. The value of one Meridian Pill is indeed about that of five Body Tempering Pills.
But generally, people would not exchange Meridian Pills for Body Tempering Pills.
The higher the grade of the pill, the rarer it is, and it is often in short supply.
However, Lu Yun is different. He has a panel, and both Body Tempering Pills and Meridian Pills will be converted into energy.
Although he has not tried it, the energy converted from six Body Tempering Pills should not be less than that of one Meridian Pill.
In this transaction, the chances of Lu Yun losing out are very small.
That was the reason he agreed so readily.
“Junior Brother agreed so easily?” Duan Qing looked at the bottle of Meridian Pills in front of him, his expression somewhat strange.
But he didn’t hesitate at all, immediately taking it and quickly extracting six porcelain bottles containing Body Tempering Pills, handing them to Lu Yun.
“Senior Brother Duan, if possible, 1 hope we can continue to collaborate in the future!”
“Definitely.” Duan Qing said with satisfaction, “1 still have to distribute assessment rewards, and I’ll visit you when I get the chance.”
After Duan Qing left, Lu Yun couldn’t wait to return to his room, opened the porcelain bottle, poured a Body Tempering Pill into his mouth and swallowed.
[Energy Value: 1.8]
Just after absorbing the first Body Tempering Pill, the energy value on the panel changed, rising from the original 0.3 to 1.8.
That is to say, one Body Tempering Pill could be converted into 1.5 energy points.
Knowing this, Lu Yun was immediately shocked.
One Body Tempering Pill was equivalent to 1.5 energy points.
There were ten Body Tempering Pills in each porcelain bottle, and with nine bottles, there were a total of ninety Body Tempering Pills.
That is to say, as long as he consumed ail the Body Tempering Pills, his energy points would skyrocket to an unprecedented total of 135.3.
Understanding this, without any hesitation, Lu Yun immediately swallowed one Body Tempering Pill after another.
[Energy Value: 3.3]
[Energy Value: 4.8]
[Energy Value:6.2]
[Energy Value:?.7]
[Energy Value:i35]
An hour later, the energy points on the panel increased to 135.
It was slightly different from what Lu Yun had anticipated, but the difference wasn’t significant.
The reason for this difference was probably because the quality of these Body Tempering Pills wasn’t uniform.
However, none of that mattered.
Having so many energy points for the first time, Lu Yun almost laughed out loud.
[Name]: Lu Yun
[Faction]: Flying Spirit Martial Academy
[Martial Arts]: Breaking Wind Saber Technique Perfection (cannot be upgraded), Mix Origin Technique Small Achievement (60%), Pure Yang Aura (Pre-Entry)
[Innate Talent]: Level 5
[Martial Arts]: Enter Martial Realm Mid-Stage
[Energy Value]: 135
“Indeed, to obtain more energy points, I need to leave the small places and join forces like the Martial Academy.”
Looking at the 135 energy points on the panel, a satisfied smile appeared on Lu Yun’s face.
Ever since he discovered the panel, the total amount of energy points he gained never exceeded twenty.
Now, after only a few days at the Martial Academy, his energy points have soared to 135.
It goes to show.
Shallow water truly cannot raise real dragons.’
“Perhaps, today I’ll be able to upgrade this top-tier first-class martial art, Pure Yang Aura, to the extreme!”
Lu Yun couldn’t be 100% sure.
After all, the higher the level of martial arts, the more energy points it consumes for promotion.
“However, upgrading the Mix Origin Technique to its limit should be more than enough!”
Lu Yun walked out of his room, found a spot in the courtyard, and prepared to start upgrading..
