Chapter 131: Exchange List and Force Features

Ning Xiaohui, who did not know that she had just escaped a calamity, was still nagging.

She was talking nonsense that didn’t matter. Lin Yan interrupted her and tried to ask some questions.

For example, why he rarely saw people from the prefecture capital in Ding’an City or what the prefecture capital was like.

However, Ning Xiaohui had used his ident.i.ty as a temporary Demon Suppression Guard to keep it a secret from him.

In the end, other than her nagging just now, he did not know anything else about the Demon Suppression Division and their purpose for coming here.

Ning Xiaohui looked carefree and silly, but she was unusually tight-lipped, just like Fan Xiaopeng.

“Then I can ask about my salary, right?”

Ning Xiaohui was stunned. “Salary?”

“That’s right,” Lin Yan said matter-of-factly. “Since I’ve become a temporary Demon Suppression Guard and work for you, I have to be paid, right?”

“Paid? Is there such a thing? Why didn’t I know about it?”

Ning Xiaohui’s eyebrows twitched a few times, and a sentence that Sister Lanqing often said subconsciously popped up in her mind. “You should be thinking about contributions. Why are you still thinking about salary? No, no!”

Lin Yan:

You all have a salary, but I don’t?

So the temporary Demon Suppression Guards are working for nothing?

There was still the difference between an official member and a temporary worker in this alternate world?

No wonder they didn’t investigate anything and let him join. Wasn’t this asking him to work for nothing!

Lin Yan turned around and left. “I quit!”

Ning Xiaohui immediately pulled him back. “Hey, hey, hey, don’t go!”

It wasn’t easy for her to catch a junior. She had just enjoyed being a senior and quickly pulled Lin Yan. “Wait, let me think… I have it! I remember that there’s no salary for the temporary demon guards, but there are benefits!”

Lin Yan stopped and turned around. “Benefits?”

“Yes, yes!” Ning Xiaohui nodded like a chick pecking at rice. “But I’ve never led a temporary Demon Suppression Guard. I forgot! Wait for me. I’ll go and ask. I’ll be back immediately!”

With that, she left Lin Yan alone and ran away.

Lin Yan:

It was too unreliable!

He restrained the anger on his face and regained his composure.

He was naturally not enthusiastic about these benefits and salary.

However, Wu Qinglei and Liu Lanqing were both terrifyingly strong. He had to pretend to be interested so that he could escape.

He looked around. The withered tree bark was still on the greenish-gray stone that Liu Lanqing was sitting on.

Lin Yan walked over and picked it up. A woman’s fragrance mixed with a charred fragrance a.s.saulted his nose. He flipped it over and was immediately shocked.

He recalled the voices he had heard back then and everyone’s reaction. Even if this painting was not beautiful, it should at least be described as lifelike.

But now…

“This painting… Why is it so ugly!”

On the painting was the scenery of the mountains outside the cliff… probably?

The overall structure was at most at the level of a second-year primary school student. If they were a grade higher, they would not have drawn it like this. What stood out was a casual and random graffiti.

“It’s not just accidentally ruined. This is simply… too careless.

This Liu Lanqing didn’t look normal…

Just as he was thinking carefully, a fiery red cloud suddenly floated over from afar. It was the parrot on Liu Lanqing’s shoulder.

Follow me! Follow me!

The parrot’s crisp bell-like voice sounded.

Lin Yan looked around and got up to follow. The parrot turned around and flew forward. It actually understood human nature.

Lin Yan followed the parrot down the mountain platform and walked the narrow mountain path. Soon, he arrived at an abandoned village.

Most of the wooden houses and stone houses in the village had collapsed. Only two or three of them had been repaired.

The parrot flew outside one of the stone houses and circled twice.

Over here! Over here!

In front of the stone house, Ning Xiaohui and Wu Qinglei were already standing there. Ning Xiaohui waved her fair hand at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan looked at Wu Qinglei warily and slowly walked over.

Wu Qinglei still looked old and haggard. Seeing Lin Yan’s vigilance, he chuckled and said, “Don’t be nervous. We’re colleagues now. Speaking of which, my chest still hurt from the punch you gave me previously!”

“That’s because Senior showed mercy.” Lin Yan’s expression remained unchanged.

Wu Qinglei looked at Lin Yan meaningfully. This kid was very strange. Not to mention anything else, after erupting with such a terrifying punch, he was now acting as if nothing had happened. It was too strange.

However, it did not matter. It was normal for young people to have more secrets. In any case, he had already casually tested it. As long as this guy was still a human, it was fine…

“Uncle Wu, quickly show Lin Yan the exchange list!” Ning Xiaohui was like an active hamster.

“Calling me uncle again? Am I that old?” Wu Qinglei said helplessly. He took out a scroll from his pocket and slowly unfolded it.

“Do you want to say it or do I?”

“I’m leading this temporary Demon Suppression Guard. Of course, I’ll do it!”

However, Ning Xiaohui cleared her throat and opened her mouth. For a moment, she did not know where to start.

Wu Qinglei shook his head and said with a smile, “Let me explain.

“Temporary Demon Suppression Guards are equivalent to non-official members of our Demon Suppression Guards. They are usually recruited locally when we are out on missions. They don’t take on the main combat responsibility, and they don’t have to completely listen to orders. Naturally, they don’t have a salary.

“Relatively speaking, they’re very free.

“Your main mission is to provide us with the information we need. After all, you’re from the local area, so you might be able to discover something we missed.

“If the information proves to be useful, you can obtain merit points and exchange them for benefits.”

Lin Yan nodded and didn’t comment. This role was equivalent to an informant. Only with information could he gain something.

Seeing that Lin Yan didn’t care, Wu Qinglei only smiled and handed the scroll in his hand to Lin Yan. “Take a look at the exchange content on this form first!”

Lin Yan took the scroll and his eyes lit up.

There were not many words on it. The first sentence of on the first page was…

One Great Merit can be exchanged for ten Small Merits.

Below, it was divided into three pieces.

The first was the Cultivation Technique Section. Below it was written…

One-Line Energy Penetrating Fist: Secret cultivation technique, five Small Merits.

Dragon Claw Hand: Secret cultivation technique, five Small Merits.

Phoenix Spear: Secret cultivation technique, five Small Merits.

They were all secret cultivation techniques!

There were a total of eight techniques.

The second section was a strange name, Features Section:

Introduction to the Features of Force: A Small Merit

Introduction to the Force Feature of a Martial Master: A Great Merit

Gloomy Wind: Speed Feature, Three Great Merits.

Heavy Mountain: Strength Feature, three Great Merits.

SpringWood: Recovery Feature, Three Great Merits.

There were five entries. Other than the first, all of them required Great Merits.

The last piece was the Item Section.

Dark h.e.l.lish Gra.s.s: The item required for the Gloomy Wind. One Great Merit.

Five Mountain Gold: The item required for the “Heavy Mountain”. One Great Merit.

Azure Essence Fruit: The item required for “Spring Wood”. One Great Merit.

Second-Grade Spirit Marrow: Five Small Merits.

Spirit Transformation Fruit: Can neutralize the Spirit Poison of the Spirit Marrow. Five Great Merits.

Spirit Marrow!

Lin Yan’s gaze froze slightly. He was not surprised that there was Spirit Marrow on the exchange list, but what did this second-grade Spirit Marrow mean?

On the exchange list, there were eight cultivation techniques, five special features, and five artifacts. It wasn’t a lot, but Lin Yan didn’t know what most of them were.

Wu Qinglei smiled at Lin Yan. “Also, I forgot to mention that all temporary Demon Suppression Guards can obtain a Small Merit in advance when they first enter the Demon Suppression Division. They can repay it in the future.”

Prepaid…

If he did not provide any information, wouldn’t this Small Merit be equivalent to being free?

However, in the entire exchange list, the only thing that could be exchanged with a Small Merit was the Introduction to the Features of Force in the Features Section.

Such an obvious trick?

“Since I can obtain it now, I’ll naturally try to exchange for something first.”

Wu Qinglei smiled and said, “Xiaohui, make a record for the temporary Demon Suppression Guard you lead.”

Ning Xiaohui belatedly took out a jade plate and recorded on it.

“In the future, if you want to exchange for something, you have to report it to

Xiaohui and verify your merits. Then, you have to exchange it with me.”

Seeing Lin Yan nod, Wu Qinglei said, “This Introduction to the Features of

Force is simple. There’s not much content. I’ll tell you verbally.”

He paused for a moment and asked, “Do you still remember the lightning from my fingertip?”

Lin Yan nodded.

“I remember that you looked shocked at that time. You must have never seen it before.

“Actually, this isn’t real lightning, but a Force Feature!

“The fiery red force from Issuer Liu was also caused by a feature.

“This is a special ability unique to n.o.ble Realm martial masters. It’s also the fundamental reason why n.o.ble Realm martial masters are called martial masters!”

The ability of a n.o.ble Realm martial master!

Lin Yan frowned. He had chatted with Eldest Senior Brother a lot. If a n.o.ble Realm martial master had such a magical ability, Eldest Senior Brother would have told him that someone’s fingers emitted lightning.

Wu Qinglei could tell that Lin Yan was puzzled and said, “You’ve never heard of it in Ding’an City. This is very normal.

“In Ding’an City, there are no martial masters who have cultivated the Force Feature at all. The so-called n.o.ble Realm only has the n.o.ble Realm foundation, but their combat strength is far inferior.

“In the prefecture capital, this kind of n.o.ble Realm is called a crippled martial master. Or rather, a fake martial master. They’re at the bottom of all the n.o.ble Realms.

“They are weak and are not much stronger than those at the Tough Realm. They might even be crushed by some geniuses at the Tough Realm.

“n.o.ble means they’re extraordinary heroes. If everyone is as weak as them, how can they be worthy of being called heroes?

“On the other hand, if one cultivates the Force Feature, it will be different.

“Even if it’s a slightly weak feature, it can greatly increase the combat strength of the n.o.ble Realm and is far stronger than the Tough Realm!”

Lin Yan’s pupils dilated.

There was actually such a secret!

On the one hand, he was shocked by the increase in strength of the n.o.ble Realm.

On the one hand, he was also thinking that there was actually a Tough Realm who could crush the so-called crippled n.o.ble Realm?

Even he would not be a match for a n.o.ble Realm cultivator unless he used the

Thousand Pound Break at the level of mutual destruction.

Wu Qinglei saw Lin Yan’s shock and smiled even more brightly. “In Ding’an City, there are no inheritances or resources with any Force Features. In the end, everyone can only cripple themselves.

“Your strength is astonis.h.i.+ng. Even in the prefecture capital, you can be called a genius.

“Are you willing to waste your talent by becoming a useless martial master?

“You have to know that once you advance to the n.o.ble Realm, you won’t have the chance to re-cultivate your features.”

Seeing that Lin Yan was tempted, Wu Qinglei pointed at the scroll and said in a bewitching voice, “Now, the opportunity is in front of you.

“In the exchange list, the second section’s Gloomy Wind, Heavy Mountain, and Spring Wood are all Force Features that don’t have any cultivation technique restrictions and are extremely universal.

“Even in the prefecture capital, it’s a precious inheritance.

“Also, the corresponding resources are even rarer. Any one of them can make a wealthy family in Ding’an City go bankrupt.

“Now, as long as you provide enough information and obtain merits, you can exchange for them at will…

“It’s up to you what to do.”

The Force Feature was actually so important…

Lin Yan was naturally tempted.

No wonder he could obtain a Small Merit in advance.

So it was to keep him hooked!

This was an open scheme. It was like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, forcing him to think of ways to contribute.

Fortunately, his cultivation realm did not improve so quickly. If he only knew after reaching the n.o.ble Realm, it would be too late for regrets.

He secretly rejoiced and sighed slightly. He had originally wanted to hide the information about Ji Ying, but now it seemed that he had no choice but to confess it along with the information about the ruins in the poisonous fog..
