Chapter 291 Magical Artifacts?
When Ding Yi arrived at the Points Hall, he discovered that there were quite a few people there.
However, most of them were outer disciples wearing blue clothes.
When these people saw Ding Yi being led over by the servant, they were curious and glanced at him a few times. However, they quickly recognized him as a new disciple of the sect and gave up their desire to chat with him.
"Sir, this is the Points Hall. There is a points redemption list here, which is updated daily. You can see what you can redeem here."
The servant explained to Ding Yi.
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi immediately stopped in front of the huge sign in the courtyard to take a look.
This sign is what's called the points leaderboard, and like a bulletin board, it's covered with densely packed redemption formulas on a large sheet of paper.
The outer disciples in blue robes were mostly gathered here, frowning and deep in thought as they looked at the scores displayed.
Ding Yi glanced at the list and immediately understood why these outer disciples looked so worried.
The points on this platform can be exchanged for anything you need, and everything is a rare and precious treasure. Gold and silver are practically worthless here.
1,000 taels of gold = 1 point
Great Fairy Blood = 2 points
A century-old Zhu Fruit = 10 points
Three hundred years of fragrant vine = 12 points
...
Ding Yi continued reading, and was secretly astonished.
To be promoted from an outer disciple to an inner disciple, one needs to accumulate 30 points, which is practically robbery for an ordinary outer disciple.
Ordinary disciples earn points through daily morning lessons. They earn 1 point for each month of continuous attendance, with a maximum of 10 points per year.
The outer sect competition, held every five years, awards 20 points to the first-place winner, 15 points to the second-place winner, and 10 points to the third-place winner, which provides a lot of benefits to those with strong abilities.
Ding Yi had no intention of waiting here for the next competition; he immediately focused his attention on the last item.
Thousand-Year Meat Fairy = 100 points
Goodness, this little brat is worth so much!
Ding Yi stood there, stroking his chin, his gaze involuntarily falling on the package he was carrying.
However, it's impossible to hand over the Meat Fairy. He still needs to eat one or two slices of Meat Fairy sashimi every day for cultivation. But judging from the exchange price, one of the Meat Fairy's arms should be worth at least thirty cents.
Thinking of this, Ding Yi immediately made up his mind, then turned around and left with his servant.
After the servant led Ding Yi back to his private little house, Ding Yi closed the courtyard gate and went into the side room. He then opened the package and took out the Meat Fairy.
Upon seeing the newly renovated house, Rouzhixian immediately stood up excitedly, nodding repeatedly and saying:
"Old Deng, not bad, following you really does allow me to live in a big house."
Ding Yi, however, took a small knife from his bundle and threw it directly to Rou Zhixian, saying:
"The house is big, isn't it? You traded it with your own arm, you did it yourself."
Meat Fairy was startled by these words. He immediately slid down to his knees in front of Ding Yi, grabbed his leg, and cried out:
"Old Deng, no, sir, I was wrong, I'll never call you that again!"
Ding Yi waved his hand, unleashing a powerful punch, then said coldly:
"Am I being too good to you? Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Rouzhixian shakily picked up the small knife and then silently turned away.
The next day, Ding Yi handed over one of Rou Zhixian's arms to the Points Hall, and unsurprisingly, this arm earned him a total of thirty-three points!
Ding Yi made a decisive move and used thirty points to exchange for an inner disciple spot, thus becoming the fastest outer disciple in Guanyun Sect to enter the inner sect.
Unlike outer disciples, inner disciples have much greater authority.
Not only do they have more access to the sect's cultivation method hall, but their daily morning lessons are completely separate from those of outer disciples, and they are taught separately.
The teaching of outer disciples mainly focuses on the realm of martial arts, as well as the key points and main characteristics of each realm.
This kind of basic explanation was a waste of time for Ding Yi, but fortunately, the content of the instruction for outer disciples was completely different.
Starting with the inner disciples, the Guanyun Sect has provided two cultivation methods.
The first is the Cloud-Gazing Heart Sutra, and the second is the Sword-Forging Method.
Guanyun Sect is famous in the Central Plains for its sword-forging techniques, which are quite different from the weapon-refining techniques of Taiping Palace.
The weapon-forging technique of Taiping Palace uses malevolent energy to forge weapons, without being limited to the type of weapon, and often gives rise to all sorts of strange supernatural abilities.
However, the sword-forging method of Guanyun Sect is said to have originated from ancient times. It emphasizes forging the sword with the essence and blood of the body, sleeping with the sword day and night, and finally achieving oneness with the sword. When the sword is used, it is a thunderous strike, like a storm.
Ding Yi initially came to Guanyun Sect for knowledge of realms beyond the Immortal Realm, but when he heard about the sword-forging technique, his expression froze.
Isn't this just like the magical artifacts from cultivation novels?!
Ding Yi suddenly became interested. As he listened to the sword-making technique, he felt it was becoming more and more similar to the real thing, and his heart was filled with increasing excitement.
At this moment, although he was able to transform Evergreen True Qi into Evergreen Spiritual Qi for cultivation, he only felt that his body was stronger, and he didn't have the awesomeness that a cultivator should have.
After all, Lu Xian could still show a red cross on the quicksand map!
Upon hearing about sword-forging techniques, he suddenly remembered that cultivating immortality required magical treasures!
What Five-Colored Divine Light, what Immortal-Slaying Gourd, what Universe Ring? Holy crap, if I could forge one of these, wouldn't I be able to walk around here with impunity?
Even if those evil gods came, I wouldn't be afraid of fifty more Ding Yis!
Ding Yi felt his mind suddenly opened up, and his heart was filled with a sense of excitement, as if ants were crawling all over him. He couldn't wait to go back and conduct the experiment.
As for whether I know swordsmanship or not, what does it matter?
Once the magic weapon is unleashed, it's a matter of a single sword strike; there's no need for any fancy sword techniques.
Upon realizing this, Ding Yi took a deep breath and silently memorized every word spoken by the elder on the platform.
The teaching of sword-making techniques consists of outlining the techniques for the first three days of each week and answering questions for the last three days.
After listening to the sword-forging technique on the third day, Ding Yi hurriedly returned to his residence.
That night, Ding Yi prepared paper and pen in his room and silently wrote down every word he had heard over the past three days.
With his current spiritual power, he filled an entire sheet of white paper with a single word of the outline of a mere few thousand words without any error.
Then, Ding Yi wrote the phrase "Suitable Spiritual Energy Magic Treasure Forging Technique" on the back of the white paper.
The next moment, a line of text appeared before Ding Yi's eyes.
[Currently available for enhancement; enhancement requires a lifespan of 891 years and 13 days. Enhance now?]
Ding Yi looked at the lifespan value in front of him and fell silent again.
Good heavens, anything even remotely related to cultivating immortality is nearly a thousand years old?
Ding Yi was somewhat reluctant, but considering that his current methods were rather limited, if he could use spiritual energy to forge a magic weapon of his own, it might not be such a bad thing.
However, Ding Yi did not rush to strengthen it. Instead, he took out a pill from his bag, put it directly into the porcelain bottle, and then wrote the words "Perfect cultivation of the Immortal Realm with no side effects" on it.
This pill was a Lesser Yuan Pill that Ding Yi exchanged for one point from the Guanyun Sect. It is a pill that is taken by those in the Yuanqiao Realm.
Even with such a high-grade elixir, the words that appeared before Ding Yi's eyes still made his heart sink.
[Currently, the required lifespan for enhancement is 5893 years and 113 days. Enhance now?]
