Chapter 23 Salted Fish Shop
When Chen Zhou opened his eyes, he found himself in a bright blue world. He looked around and found that his surroundings were filled with shelves.
The shelves were filled with all sorts of things, and for a moment, Chen Zhou was dazzled by the sight.
Each shelf is engraved with four powerful characters.
"Salted Fish Shop".
Chen Zhou had been complaining that this system was different from the novels he read; it just kept making notification sounds and he couldn't control it at will, like checking his current attributes.
Upon realizing this, the Salty Fish System seemed to sense it.
A row of numbers made of true qi appeared in front of Chen Zhou!
Chen Zhou was stunned.
Is this system becoming so user-friendly now?
Qi and Blood Value:
Root bone value: 1758
True Qi Value: 4”
Looking at his current attribute panel, Chen Zhou nodded. At present, the Salted Fish System only has these three bonuses available to him, so naturally, these are the only three.
Only then did Chen Zhou turn his attention to the shelf.
But upon closer inspection, Chen Zhou realized he couldn't see anything at all!
Although the shelves seemed very close to him, they felt like they were thousands of meters away. No matter how much Chen Zhou rubbed his eyes, he just couldn't see them clearly.
After walking around, Chen Zhou realized that he could only clearly see the items on the very bottom shelf of a shelf.
Foundation Establishment Pill: 1000 battle merits per pill.
"Refine your bones and muscles: 5000 battle merits per time".
"Technique guidance: Low-level technique guidance costs 1000 combat merits per instance, intermediate-level technique guidance costs 3000 combat merits per instance, and advanced-level technique guidance costs 1 combat merit per instance."
"Expanding the Dantian: Depending on the physical condition, the host can expand once in the current situation, costing 4500 battle merits."
......
Seeing the prices of these goods, Chen Zhou really wanted to curse, realizing that he had become a pauper.
I finally got 1000 battle merits, and I used them all as soon as I opened the shop.
In other words, Chen Zhou's current battle merit value is 0.
You cannot redeem without battle merits.
Chen Zhou looked at the lowest row of items and realized that these were all things he could use right now.
For example, with skill guidance, even if you've learned the Draw Sword Slash and Swallow Shadow Ghost Step, those skills were directly added to you by the system, and you may not have fully mastered them. That's when you need skill guidance.
In other words, this store will only offer items that it currently offers for redemption.
"The Salted Fish Shop is now open. To enter the shop, simply repeat 'The Salted Fish Shop is now open!' To exit the shop, simply repeat 'Exit the Salted Fish Shop!'"
"Battle merits are earned by the host through combat, eliminating evil and promoting good."
After hearing the system's explanation, Chen Zhou roughly understood the new function of the Salted Fish System, and then silently said, "Quickly exit the Salted Fish Shop."
As he silently recited it, Chen Zhou couldn't help but think to himself, "What kind of talk is this? Why does it feel so inappropriate?"
After Chen Zhou finished reading the last word, he opened his eyes again, and the first thing he saw was a wooden roof.
As soon as he woke up, Chen Zhou tried to sit up, but found that he couldn't muster any strength at all. It seemed that he would have to rest for a while.
"Master! Junior Brother is awake!"
Not long after Chen Zhou regained consciousness and opened his eyes, Jiang Ying excitedly said.
Chen Zhou turned his head and saw that Jiang Ying had been sitting on the edge of the bed the whole time, while the other side was occupied by seven elders, all of whom were resting with their eyes closed.
Only the Third Elder paced anxiously back.
Upon hearing Jiang Ying's words, he immediately rushed to the bedside and looked at Chen Zhou with a hint of excitement, saying, "You're finally awake. It's good that you're awake. We've completely drained the dark true energy from your body. Because draining it also drained the true energy from your body, you were particularly weak."
Chen Zhou nodded with difficulty, trying to stand up and kowtow to his master to express his gratitude, but he couldn't stand up at all.
"Chen Zhou, there's no need. This is all your own good fortune. You've already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, haven't you?" A strange light flashed in the Third Elder's eyes.
The remaining six elders opened their eyes and stared intently at Chen Zhou, who was lying on the bed.
Hearing this and feeling the gazes directed at him, Chen Zhou was somewhat at a loss.
How can this be explained?
"Master, is this the Foundation Establishment stage? I just accidentally created such a true qi vortex during one of my cultivation sessions."
Chen Zhou said weakly, his eyes filled with innocence.
The seven elders immediately burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! If one could accidentally reach the Foundation Establishment stage, then my Sword Cloud Sect would no longer be a target of that damned thing's attacks." The Grand Elder said with a laugh.
Yes, I still feel lingering fear when I think about it now. The Sword Cloud Sect is a major sect on the Tianyun Continent. Now, a mere ghost can come and provoke the Sword Cloud Sect. This clearly shows that the Sword Cloud Sect is no longer the Sword Cloud Sect it used to be.
The strength of the Sword Cloud Sect is declining.
"Chen Zhou, no matter how you entered the Foundation Establishment stage, it was your good fortune. Now that you have entered the Foundation Establishment stage, what you need most are cultivation techniques and Foundation Establishment Pills. I have ten Foundation Establishment Pills here, and you can choose any of the main cultivation techniques from the other two branches! This is to express my Second Elder's apology to you and your kindness in saving my disciple Xu Changtian."
The Second Elder looked at Chen Zhou and said.
These temptations are already great enough.
If all ten Foundation Establishment Pills were absorbed, it might allow one to leapfrog an entire level, advancing from the early to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Moreover, it also requires all the main cultivation techniques of the two branches.
As we all know, the first thing to do when entering the Foundation Establishment stage is to choose a powerful and suitable cultivation technique, which is of utmost importance.
Now that Chen Zhou has two main cultivation techniques, he has more options.
This is of great help in choosing a powerful and suitable cultivation technique.
However, Chen Zhou's next words shocked everyone.
“Senior Brother Xu is the number one person of this generation in the Sword Cloud Sect. My saving him is out of respect for Senior Brother Xu and has nothing to do with the reward mentioned by the Second Elder.”
Chen Zhou refused.
The Third Elder nodded in satisfaction, but did not continue speaking.
The cabin was eerily quiet. The Second Elder was at a loss for words. Why would they refuse such a generous reward?
Could it be that Chen Zhou is so young yet already like his master?
To live a life free from worldly strife?
"Chen Zhou, you have made a great contribution to my Sword Cloud Sect and won first place in the sect competition. On behalf of the Sword Cloud Sect, I will hold a public award ceremony tomorrow. Can you attend?"
The elder continued with a smile.
Nobody knows what he's thinking.
But everyone knows how generous the reward is for first place in the sect competition.
