From a scholar to a villain, I was a good person at the beginning

"A errand disciple?" The old man raised his eyelids and waved his hand, and a golden book appeared in front of Jiang Zheng.

"The redeemable items are all recorded, choose for yourself"

After saying this, the old man closed his eyes again.

"Thank you, Elder"

Jiang Zheng picked up the book and flipped through it. It contained mostly magical weapons and elixirs that he had never heard of, as well as natural treasures...

After wasting some time, he finally found the place where the skills were recorded.

You won’t know until you see it. It’s really shocking.

"Liushui Jue, Yellow Rank, Lower Grade, 500 Contribution Points"

"Red Sun Merit, Yellow Rank, Mid-Level, 1,200 Contribution Points"

“…”

Jiang Zheng took a quick look and immediately gave up the idea of ​​exchanging contribution points.

He learned from Kong Qing that the method of cultivating immortals is divided into seven levels: immortal, saint, heaven, earth, mysterious, and yellow, and each level is further divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower.

But the cheapest yellow-grade lower-level skills here cost 500 contribution points, not to mention the others.

And he could only earn two contribution points after working so hard all day. How long would it take him to accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for skills?

He flipped through the books aimlessly, then went back to the beginning. He accidentally caught sight of something and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Spirit Stone, 50 Contribution Points"

Jiang Zheng's eyes lit up immediately. How could a spirit stone be so valuable? One spirit stone was worth the effort he put into cleaning the cave for more than half a month. It just so happened that he had the spirit stone he got from Hu Liang.

"Elder, I have a question," Jiang Zheng closed the book and asked carefully.

"Say," the other party said impatiently without even opening his eyes.

"If I have something valuable, can I exchange it for contribution points at the price above?"

“Okay, but it’s half price.”

"Why?" Jiang Zheng asked in confusion. According to the other party, one spirit stone can only be exchanged for twenty-five contribution points.

By this calculation, even if all of one's spirit stones were exchanged for contribution points, one would not be able to exchange them for a single book of martial arts.

"If you want to change, then change. If not, leave. How can a chor disciple like you have so many questions?"

The elder opened his eyes and glared at him.

Although Jiang Zheng felt a little aggrieved, he still left.

"It seems that exchanging contribution points for skills is not feasible. What should I do?"

After returning to his residence, Jiang Zheng lay on the bed and started to think.

The Contribution Hall is such a rip-off. It costs fifty contribution points to buy spirit stones, but only twenty-five contribution points when selling them. Isn't this clearly a scam?

Otherwise, his eleven spirit stones could just be exchanged for a set of skills, with one spirit stone left over.

Do I really have to take the risk and go find the brother who is in charge of the menial disciples?

Jiang Zheng frowned, feeling extremely annoyed. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and gave up the idea. The risk was too great and he couldn't afford it right now.

"There must be another way..."

"Boy, it's just a book of martial arts," Kong Qing's voice suddenly sounded.

"You want to give me martial arts?!" Jiang Zheng's eyes lit up and he sat up excitedly.

“No”

"Oh," Jiang Zheng sighed and lay down again.

I was so excited for nothing and thought that the stingy guy was going to plunder me. Now it seems that I was overthinking it. After so long, the other party always did not do anything without benefits. How could he help me for no reason?

But Kong Qing's next words rekindled his hope.

"Although I won't give you any skills, I can help you get the contribution points to exchange for skills."

"What's the meaning?"

As Jiang Zheng finished speaking, a dark red mist floated from his brow and transformed into a young man who looked exactly like him. He was already accustomed to this scene.

"Here, this is a second-grade elixir [Qinglingdan], which can increase your cultivation. You can exchange it for a lot of contribution points, which is more than enough to exchange for a martial arts technique."

Kong Qing flipped his hand and threw him a white pill, and the fragrance of the pill immediately filled the entire room.

Jiang Zheng quickly took it with both hands, afraid that it would fall to the ground. He saw that it was a white pill the size of a pigeon egg with a smooth and round surface.

The fragrance of the elixir is strong, and you can feel the warmth just by holding it in your hand.

"But why don't you just give me the technique? You should have it."

Jiang Zheng asked doubtfully. He would be the first one who didn't believe that the other party didn't have any martial arts skills. In his eyes, Kong Qing was very rich and had everything he needed... It seemed that the only thing he lacked was the seven emotions and six desires.

“Hehehe…”

Kong Qing did not answer his question, but just grinned a few times and then went back into his brows.

Hearing Kong Qing's laughter like that of a spectator, Jiang Zheng frowned and felt something was wrong.

Based on past experience, whenever Kong Qing shows a smile like this, nothing good will happen.

But after thinking it over, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the other party, or that there was something he had not considered.

"Forget it, maybe I'm overthinking it. At least giving me the elixir is a good thing. Maybe Kong Qing will be kind-hearted."

He was not in a hurry to go to the Contribution Hall to exchange for martial arts skills, but instead went back to his old business.

He immediately fetched a gourd of water, threw the pill into the water with a "splash", and fell into a sound sleep.

No matter what kind of elixir it is, as long as it can increase your cultivation level, it sounds like a good thing. Let’s soak it first.

Jiang Zheng was in a good mood and soon fell into a deep sleep. After an unknown amount of time, Tiezhu Jiang woke him up and brought him another bowl of meat.

This made him feel a little embarrassed, but he ate it anyway. In the end, he felt bad and forced Tiezhu to give him a few taels of silver.

When he was the only one left in the house, Jiang Zheng couldn't wait to pick up the gourd and gulp down a mouthful of water. He immediately felt relaxed all over, his pores dilated, and steam came out.

"I was so scared, I almost swallowed it"

He took out the [Qingling Pill] from his mouth, took a sip, and then walked out carefully.

…

"This is... the second-grade elixir [Qinglingdan]!"

The elder of the Contribution Hall stood up quickly, his eyes widened, and looked at the pill in Jiang Zheng's hand in disbelief.

Everyone was attracted by the noise.

"What? A second-grade elixir?!"

"How could he, a mere errand disciple, possibly produce a second-grade elixir?!"

"It's really the second-grade [Qingling Pill]! I've seen it in the pill book. This kind of pill is also ranked as the best among the second-grade spiritual pills. It is extremely difficult to refine. Even the elders of the Alchemy Hall can't refine it."

A disciple from the Alchemy Hall stared at the [Qingling Pill], examined it carefully for a moment, and said in shock.

"It's really the [Qingling Pill]!" The Contribution Elder could hardly suppress his excitement.

You know, this is an elixir that can help a cultivator in the foundation-building stage improve his cultivation. He has been stuck in the late stage of foundation-building for too long. How can he not be excited?

He took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, looked at Jiang Zheng and said, "You want a technique?"

"Replying to the elder, the disciple wants to exchange this pill for a technique."

"Okay, I will make the decision. You can choose any yellow-grade top-grade martial arts technique you like."

He waved his hand and spoke loudly, and the familiar blue book appeared in front of Jiang Zheng.

"Replying to the elder, I have decided to exchange this technique for you."

After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Zheng pointed to a copy of "The Secret of the Red Dragon". He did not understand the skills and could not distinguish between good and bad ones. He could only choose a top-grade yellow-grade one based on his feeling.

But just the introduction of this technique looks very powerful. If you practice it to perfection, you can obtain the spirit of the red dragon!
