I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 264: Wind and Cloud Nine Blades

Han Zixun, as usual, arrived promptly.

It took only a short time after Xuan Cheng sent out the token, about as long as a cup of tea, for Han Zixun to hurry to the side hall of the Celestial King Hall.

This Han clan disciple exclaimed, "What good stuff? Let me see quickly!"

Xuan Cheng smiled faintly and pointed to the cistanche placed on the desk.

This piece of cistanche, over four feet long, was exactly the medicinal herb Zhang Yuan brought for him to appraise!

Although Zhang Yuan knew that cistanche was beneficial for the cultivation of Qianyang class techniques, he didn’t understand much about pharmacology, so he couldn’t use it recklessly, lest it be wasted.

And Xuan Cheng found it quite interesting.

After the mage examined this piece of cistanche, he suggested bringing Han Zixun over.

Because he believed that the other party would be willing to purchase it at a high price.

Zhang Yuan naturally complied.

Sure enough, Han Zixun was immediately dazzled: "Such a long cistanche!"

Cistanche grows an inch every three years; the longer it is, the higher its quality.

Even someone from a noble family, like him, had never seen anything comparable to this piece over four feet long!

Though Han Zixun was a bit of a dandy, he had an eye and knowledge for such things.

He knew well the rarity of this cistanche!

Xuan Cheng said seriously, "Zixun, your Primordial Yang is already lost, and indulging in excess for too long has severely weakened your body. If you don’t replenish and fortify it in time, not only will your life be short, but you’ll also never have a chance to advance to Tier Five."

"I plan to use this hundred-year-old cistanche to ask Master Hui Zhen to refine Replenishing Essence Pills and Yunyang Pills, and I’ll give you two bottles to help restore your martial arts foundation."

Han Zixun blushed as he listened to his cousin’s words, and upon hearing them, he immediately knelt in gratitude: "Thank you, cousin!"

"No need to thank me."

Xuan Cheng shook his head and said, "This cistanche doesn’t belong to me, but was obtained by Protector Zhao at a great risk. You can’t take it for free."

Han Zixun quickly said, "Certainly not!"

He turned his eyes to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan and Han Zixun enjoyed a good relationship and could be considered friends.

Therefore, the three of them deliberated together.

Finally, they agreed that of the Replenishing Essence Pills and Yunyang Pills refined, Zhang Yuan would take fifty percent, and Han Zixun would receive twenty percent.

The remaining thirty percent would go to the Celestial King Hall.

As for the internal distribution of the Celestial King Hall, that was none of Zhang Yuan and Han Zixun’s concern.

As a beneficiary, Han Zixun also compensated Zhang Yuan with a hundred Daoist Merits and three hundred taels of gold.

Xuan Cheng knew that Zhang Yuan was in need of both Daoist Merit and silver coins, so he specifically pointed this out to Han Zixun.

Both sides were delighted.

Han Zixun, being somewhat impetuous, immediately delivered the gold upon agreement and allocated Zhang Yuan a hundred Daoist Merits.

After acquiring the gold and Daoist Merits, Zhang Yuan proceeded to the Outer Hall to submit a task.

When he opened his bulging medicinal pouch, Daoist Chen, who was in charge of recording tasks and merits in the Outer Hall, widened his eyes involuntarily.

"So much golden dendrobium!"

Daoist Chen’s voice was quite loud, so everyone inside the Outer Hall heard it clearly.

Many people immediately gathered around to see what the commotion was about.

Because the quantity of task items Zhang Yuan presented at once was too large, Daoist Chen had to call the Outer Hall Steward to preside and summon several Daoist children to help sort and categorize them.

Piece by piece, the high-quality golden dendrobium was neatly displayed on the desk.

The surrounding breathing became much heavier.

Dendrobium is one of the important materials for refining elixirs, required for many types of medicinal powders and pills. Consequently, Celestial King Hall has great demand, corresponding to long-standing Daoist Merit tasks.

But the dendrobium required by Celestial King Hall must meet high-quality standards; ordinary goods could not be exchanged for Daoist Merits.

Among those present, some had ventured into the mountains in search of this medicinal herb.

Some earned a few Daoist Merits, while others returned empty-handed.

Now, seeing so much golden dendrobium before their eyes and witnessing Zhang Yuan ready to collect a large amount of Daoist Merits, they couldn’t help but feel envious, jealous, and resentful!

However, envy aside, no matter how jealous or resentful, nobody dared to cause trouble within the Celestial King Hall.

After a detailed and tedious identification and categorization,

Daoist Chen finally concluded that the total Daoist Merits awarded to Zhang Yuan amounted to five hundred and seventy-five points!

Honestly, this amount of Daoist Merits far exceeded his expectations.

Previously, when Zhang Yuan submitted a Fourth Grade Evil Infant, he only received a hundred and fifty points in Daoist Merits.

"Congratulations!"

Daoist Chen sincerely congratulated Zhang Yuan, also very envious of Zhang Yuan’s luck.

Because not only did Zhang Yuan collect a vast amount of golden dendrobium, but the Celestial King Hall had recently raised the task rewards due to a shortage of high-quality dendrobium for refining.

As it turned out, Zhang Yuan happened to seize the opportunity, making an easy profit.

Such luck was truly enviable!

"Thank you."

After calculating the Daoist Merits he currently held, Zhang Yuan decisively said, "I want to exchange for a cultivation technique."

Daoist Chen was momentarily stunned: "Exchange now?"

With so many Daoist Merits in hand, he thought Zhang Yuan might hold onto them for a while.

Little did he expect Zhang Yuan to be so eager.

Zhang Yuan affirmed, "Yes."

Daoist Chen could only bring out the Daoist Register, allowing Zhang Yuan to choose the cultivation technique he wanted to exchange.

This was his job, so naturally, he had nothing more to say.

But Zhang Yuan had already prepared, and after flipping through a few pages, he pointed to one item inside and said, "I choose this one."

He chose to exchange for a saber technique.

Nine Blades of Wind and Cloud!

This saber technique was a Qi Entry Realm combat technique and one of the few superior saber techniques in the Celestial King Hall Daoist Collection.

Zhang Yuan had previously learned about this saber technique through Xuan Cheng, hence his decisive choice.

The Daoist Merits required to exchange for the Nine Blades of Wind and Cloud were a staggering seven hundred.

It instantly depleted most of the Daoist Merits that Zhang Yuan hadn’t yet warmed up.

The earnings from the dendrobium exchange essentially went right back out.

Then, led by the Outer Hall Steward, Zhang Yuan headed to the Dharma Transmission Hall.

When Zhang Yuan saw the elder responsible for imparting techniques from the Dharma Transmission Hall, he couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Because the purple-robed elder was the very same master uncle of Xuan Cheng who had transmitted the Primordial Celestial Spirit True Method to him in the main hall before!

The Outer Hall Steward, puzzled, kindly reminded him, "This is Master Hui Fa."

Zhang Yuan hurriedly saluted, "Junior Zhao Yun, greets Senior!"

Master Hui Fa nodded impassively, took the identity token presented by the Outer Hall Steward, and glanced at it.

He said blandly, "Close your eyes."

Zhang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.

The next moment, a stream of heat poured into his consciousness as the middle of his forehead was touched.

The scene was almost identical to when he learned the Primordial Celestial Spirit True Method.

However, the Nine Blades of Wind and Cloud clearly wasn’t as profound as the Primordial Celestial Spirit True Method, and Zhang Yuan quickly received the transmission of this Qi Entry Realm saber technique, deeply imprinting it in his memory.

But like the Primordial Celestial Spirit True Method, the Nine Blades of Wind and Cloud also contained an unsharable Daoist oath.

Zhang Yuan could only cultivate it himself.

As for the consequences of breaking the oath, he certainly had no desire to find out!

And as Zhang Yuan left the Dharma Transmission Hall,

a short, plump Daoist suddenly approached with a smile: "Protector Zhao, can we have a word?"
