I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

"???"

Jiang He was stunned: "You even collect corpses?"

The grandmaster in the Hall of Merit stroked the charred skeleton, saying with great affection, "This is a treasure! It contains the power of heavenly tribulation, making it perfect for medicinal use!"

"Medicine?"

Jiang He shivered.

Used in medicine from human remains?

This sounded rather perverse, but Jiang He had heard of prescriptions in "Traditional Chinese Medicine" that used corpses as medicine, so he immediately asked, "How many merit points can this corpse be exchanged for?"

The master examined the remains and quoted a price of 1000 merit points.

"Good, it's been changed."

Jiang He was fairly satisfied with the price.

After all, according to the Martial Arts Administration's pricing, a single "Earth Dragon Blood" only costs 900 merit points.

As for the remaining large pile of "supplies", they need to be classified and valued one by one. There are hundreds of weapons, with the lowest price being 500 points and the highest price reaching 2800 merit points.

The remaining various elixirs and secret manuals also vary in price.

It took more than two hours for the Grandmaster of the Hall of Merit to finally deliver a list to Jiang He.

Jiang He glanced at it.

The list is very detailed.

The value of each weapon and each martial arts manual was listed, totaling 48 merit points.

"By the way, do you buy lotus seeds from the Fiery Red Lotus?"

Jiang He flipped his hand and took out another lotus seed, the "Blazing Red Lotus".

"what?"

"Blazing Red Lotus?"

The master's brow twitched violently. He carefully took the lotus seed and examined it on an instrument. Then he exclaimed in surprise, "This is... a lotus seed from the Nine-Leaf Fiery Red Lotus?"

The seeds of the Fiery Red Lotus are spiritual items that can aid in breakthroughs.

Zhang Sancai is at the seventh rank, with fire-type extraordinary ability awakened at level A-. He has wasted 20 years of his prime, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is "old and frail". However, he can improve his physique and foundation with just 6 lotus seeds and has the potential to break through to the "Martial Arts Celestial Realm"!

If a ninth-rank cultivator practicing the "Way of Fire" were to consume this, refining just three or four lotus seeds would likely greatly increase their chances of breaking through!

These kinds of spiritual items and pills that aid in breakthroughs are extremely valuable!

In the Hall of Merit, a price of 8 merit points has been set!

Don't think this is an exaggeration.

8 merit points may sound like a lot, but for those top-tier ninth-rank individuals, it might only take one or two years to accumulate. If they are lucky enough to discover a rare treasure during the exploration of "Kunlun Ruins," they can earn even more!
No one would refuse an opportunity to break through the merits accumulated over several years.

Moreover, there is also a "loan business" at Tianmen Pass.

If one refines the "lotus seed" and breaks through to the Celestial Realm, earning merit points will be even easier.

In the end, Jiang He sold 20 lotus seeds and kept 9 for himself.

Another 208 million merit points were credited to Jiang He's account, which instantly made him feel more confident. He immediately wanted to study the "resource exchange list".

"Marrow Refining Pill, 50 merit points per pill?"

"Give me 2000 first."

"Forehead……"

The master chuckled and said, "Mr. Jiang, although the Marrow Refining Pill can assist in marrow refining, it is generally only effective when used by martial arts rank eight. Moreover, after refining about 100 pills, the refining effect will be greatly reduced."

This is normal.

Any elixir will cause this effect if refined too many times.

Otherwise, as long as one is willing to spend money and use a large number of Marrow Refining Pills, wouldn't anyone be able to reach the "Marrow Refining Like Frost" level?

However, Jiang He didn't care about all that.

Anyway, I have a cheat code.

Since the Marrow Refining Pill is still useful for the time being, we should continue to take it.

This thing has the best price-performance ratio.

One pill can increase strength by 500kg, and the key is that it tastes good. It can be used as a consumable for the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique".

Jiang He insisted, and even the grandmasters in the Hall of Merit couldn't persuade him further.

after all……

He receives a "commission" for both purchasing and selling goods.

Then, Jiang He looked at the various "beast essences".

The beast essence blood that can be included in the "exchange resource list" is at least "King-level beast essence blood", with prices ranging from as low as 500 merit points to 1500 merit points. Jiang He even saw a beast essence blood that costs 5000 merit points per drop.

He immediately asked out of curiosity, "What kind of ferocious beast's essence blood is this? Why is it so expensive?"

"This is the essence blood of a royal-level ferocious beast, equivalent to a great demon in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm."

The grandmaster in the Hall of Merit checked and said, "This drop of essence blood is the essence blood of an armored beast at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. There are 6 drops in the Hall of Merit's inventory."

Armored beast?
Jiang He's eyes lit up, and he said, "I'll take all six drops!"

Armored beasts have extremely strong defensive capabilities, not to mention those that have cultivated to the "Celestial Phenomenon Realm".

In addition, Jiang He selected 300 drops of blood essence from a king-level ferocious beast.

These king-level ferocious beast essences all share a common characteristic... that is, their "masters" have very strong defensive and self-healing abilities.

“2000枚炼髓丹是10万功勋，另外6滴皇级凶兽精血3万功勋，300滴王级凶兽精血25万功勋……江先生，还有什么需求吗？”

The grandmaster in the Hall of Merit was overjoyed.

Today is a day.

He has earned more "merit points" than in the past 3 years!
Jiang He thought for a moment and said, "Are there any other cultivation resources suitable for body-refining martial artists... spiritual objects and spiritual medicines are fine, preferably those that can increase self-healing power, defense, and improve physical strength."

The master then recommended several other options.

One of the spiritual objects is called "Heavenly Wind Water Pearl," a type of spiritual water born in "Weak Water." Consuming a single drop can increase physical strength by 10 jin and improve physique. Although its effects are not as good as "Azure Jade Snow Lotus Fruit," it is still extremely powerful.

Moreover, the greatest function of the "Heavenly Wind Water Pearl" is to provide certain assistance to those who cultivate the "Way of Water" or those who have awakened to the extraordinary nature of water and break through to the "Martial Arts Celestial Realm" or S-rank!

It can be considered a treasure on par with the "Blazing Red Lotus". However, the lotus seeds of the "Blazing Red Lotus" require several to be consumed and refined before they are effective, while the "Heavenly Wind Water Pearl" only requires one drop to have a certain effect... It's just that the chance of it helping with breakthroughs is not as great as that of the "Blazing Red Lotus".

Even so, the price of "Tianfeng Water Beads" is as high as 15 yuan per drop.

Jiang He asked, "Does the Hall of Merit have Jade Snow Lotus Fruit? What is the price of this Jade Snow Lotus Fruit?"

The Grandmaster of the Hall of Merit shook his head and said, "The Jade Snow Lotus Fruit is a treasure for body refinement. After consuming it, one can increase the physical strength of the body by the power of a dragon and open up all the meridians in the body. Our Hall of Merit has only obtained two Jade Snow Lotus Fruits so far. Both of them were bought by Xiahou Wu. The price at the time was 20 each."

Jiang He asked in surprise, "Isn't it said that this Jade Snow Lotus Fruit is only effective if you take the first one?"

The master laughed and said, "It is only effective the first time you take it... But Xiahou Wu is the number one body refiner in our Great Xia. I heard that he also has a disciple who is born with super strength and has an extraordinary physique. He entered the realm of body refinement master five years ago."

Jiang He didn't take the matter to heart, but instead silently did some calculations...

Jade Snow Lotus Fruit can increase a dragon's power by 1 point, priced at 20.

The Heavenly Wind Water Pearl can only increase physical strength by 10 jin, which is less than half the effect of the Jade Snow Lotus Fruit, yet it is priced as high as 15... Of course, Jiang He knew that this was mainly because the Heavenly Wind Water Pearl had the effect of assisting in breakthroughs.

"never mind!"

"15 is 15, if I lose it, I lose it... Anyway, I have plenty of merit points now, and it's safest to convert them into my own power as soon as possible."

Tianfeng Water Drops has only 3 drops in stock.

All the rivers have been exchanged, which cost another 45 merit points.

Then, I selected several "body-refining" resources and gathered 90 merit points. Before I could even warm up the 200 million merit points I had just received, nearly half of them were used up in the blink of an eye!
However, Jiang He didn't feel sorry for him at all.

He took out a marrow-refining pill from his pocket, ate it like candy, and headed towards the recruit camp.

"Ding!"

"Consuming the elixir will increase your strength by 500 kg!"

"Ding!"

"Consuming the elixir will increase your strength by 500 kg!"

"Ding……"

System notifications rang in his ears as Jiang He's physical strength slowly increased, steadily progressing towards the power of 20 dragons.

Before he even entered the recruit camp, he saw three or four hundred seventh and eighth-rank Grandmasters from the two veteran camps, Iron Blood Camp and Flying Bear Camp, gathered together, marching angrily toward the gate of the recruit camp.

Some people even shouted things like "This is outrageous," "Despicable," and "Petty behavior."

"Ouch!"

Jiang He's eyes lit up when he saw this: "It seems that my previous attempts to stir up conflict between new recruits and veterans have been effective... Now, it's time for the new recruits and veterans to challenge each other and wager on each other!"

Yes!

A betting war!

That's how it's usually written in novels.

Then we'll gamble on resources, merits, and so on... and then I'll get involved and sign a betting agreement with those veterans. There are very few veterans from each battalion, so we can make a fortune all at once!

otherwise……

Why go to all that trouble to stir up conflict between veterans and new recruits?

Jiang He quickly stuffed a few "Marrow Refining Pills" into his mouth and ran all the way into the recruit camp.

Just as he had expected.

As soon as these veterans entered the recruit camp, they saw dozens of new recruits gathered, blocking their way. Soon, more new recruits surrounded them. The one leading them was Yu Wenxuan, who had obtained an opportunity at the [Inheritance Monument] and stepped into the "Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm".

Yu Wenxuan, his face grim, questioned, "What are you doing here at our recruit camp with so many people from the Flying Bear Camp and Iron Blood Camp?"

Squad Leader Wu of the Iron-Blooded Battalion glanced at Yu Wenxuan and said, "A defeated opponent like you, how dare you block my way?"

Yu Wenxuan sneered and said, "You're only a dozen years older than me, what's with the attitude... If I were your age, I wouldn't even need two hands to beat you!"

Squad Leader Wu sneered, "No matter what you do in the future, at least for now you're still my defeated foe. Get out of my way... We, the Iron Blood Battalion and the Flying Bear Battalion, are here today to find someone!"

"Coming to our recruit camp to look for someone? Do you think our recruit camp is a vegetable market?"

Even Wei Changhai, Li Wanqing, and Xu Rulai were alarmed.

Jianghe even saw clouds and dust mixed in with the crowd.

The atmosphere between the two sides was tense, and it looked like they were about to fight, when suddenly a Buddhist chant rang out—

"Amitabha!"

Xu Rulai stepped forward with his hands clasped together and said with a smile, "Please calm down, everyone. We are all citizens of the Great Xia Dynasty. In this foreign land, we are fellow countrymen. If there is any misunderstanding, why don't we sit down and talk it out slowly?"

The female ghost was still clinging to his back.

The female ghost had disheveled hair and bloodshot pupils that gleamed with an eerie light as she coldly surveyed the people of the Flying Bear Camp and the Iron Blood Camp.

Squad Leader Wu glanced at Xu Rulai, feeling a chill run down his spine from the female ghost staring at him from behind. He said, "I'll say it again... hand over the person. I know you new recruits are all troublemakers. If you want to play around, we can play along... but going to smash the windows of our Iron Blood Battalion and Flying Bear Battalion in the middle of the night is just too despicable!"

"........."

The atmosphere suddenly became very strange.

Everyone in the recruit camp looked at each other in bewilderment...

Smash...

Break the glass?
Xu Rulai laughed and said, "Does this benefactor have some misunderstanding about our recruit camp? Breaking windows... these days, even kids rarely do that!"

"That's right!"

"You're making baseless accusations!"

Behind the crowd.

Chen Yu and Wei Jian shouted, "Doctor Feng didn't smash the windows of their Iron Blood Camp and Flying Bear Camp!"

Feng Shaoyu: "That's right, it wasn't me. I didn't smash it. What nonsense are you talking about?"

All eyes turned to Feng Shaoyu.

Feng Shaoyu, a psychiatrist with a liberal arts background who had just awakened his "supernatural abilities," had never seen anything like this before. He felt a little flustered under the gazes of the crowd, and his tone softened as he whispered, "Perhaps... perhaps it was Jiang He who smashed it!"

“He used to be my patient. His condition was always unstable, and he had a severe tendency to be violent. He often smashed the windows of our hospital!”

Chen Yu: "That's right, I can prove it!"

Jiang He: "..." (End of Chapter)
