Destiny is ashes

Chapter 175: Armed to the Teeth
Tianyuan world.

"I want to buy thunder beads."

The place An Jing left last time was still the garbage dump, so he came to the recycling hut as quickly as possible: "Also, I brought all the herbs and spiritual objects you said could be recycled last time."

"Okay!"

Huo Qing, who was studying the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation in the water mirror, heard An Jing's greeting and happily stood up to greet him: "You have worked so hard!"

Since Tie Shou disappeared, Huo Qing took over his position and served as the temporary station chief.

Huo Qing is not a young man without social and work experience, but a former accountant of the Zhuohu Gang.

With his ability, it was easy for him to run the recycling hut. The only problem with force was also solved by the "Hundred Vine Soul Binding Formation" left by Tie Shou.

In fact, during this period of time, Huo Qing not only practiced the Huangtian Yangqi Method taught by An Jing, but also learned the formation of formations.

The Tianyuan Realm has a system similar to the college entrance examination in An Jing's previous life and the Dachen imperial examination, called the "Shengju Xuanshi", also known as the "Daoshi".

Legend has it that before the world's catastrophe, the seven holy places of Tianyuan and many other sects would select suitable-age cultivators from the entire world every year and accept them into their sects.

And after the world catastrophe, this inheritance did not completely disappear. The four major Taoist academies and many other colleges would also use Taoist tests to screen the seeds of Taoism and cultivate them carefully.

The Taoist test consists of five parts: alchemy, martial arts, formation, weapons, and talismans.

Divination can add extra points, but there is no main examiner.

To enter the four major academies, you must get at least two excellent grades and one excellent grade in the five exams, or one excellent grade and three excellent grades. The grades of other courses cannot be lower than good.

However, first-class colleges only require one excellent and one excellent, and there are no requirements for other courses.

Judging from Huo Qing's current abilities, his bones are well-built. As long as he hone his skills for a few more years, master the skills, and integrate the Huangtian Yangqi Method taught by An Jing, and learn the Houtu Method, he will be able to maintain his excellence and strive for the best in physical cultivation.

Under this premise, he only needs to master one of the other five skills to perfection, and Huo Qing can try to apply for a first-class college!
The area that Huo Qing chose to specialize in was formation.

This is also Tie Shou's proudest skill. Although it is not very obvious, the 'Hundred Vine Binding Soul Formation' is a unique formation developed by Tie Shou himself - this is enough to be rated as 'excellent' in the Taoist test.

However, Tieshou is too old, and his skills have been honed over time, so he cannot be compared with those real geniuses.

Huo Qing still has time. He has some talent in this area, at least he is not unfamiliar with it. In the next twelve years, he will have a certain chance to study the formation to the 'excellence'.

Don't underestimate this advantage. If he were in Xuan Ye City, he would be able to set up a high-level or even peak-level Qi Refining formation and would never have to worry about his livelihood.

It should be noted that most of the people in Xuanye City could only get an "inferior" or "good" grade at most in their last Holy Selection Examination, and it was good enough if they could set up a Qi Refining-level formation.

Among the many goods that An Jing brought this time, the moss deer skin can not only be used to draw talismans, but can also be used as part of the formation material for Huo Qing to practice.

"Let me see...it's a great harvest!"

An Jing brought a lot of goods. Huo Qing checked them one by one and gave the price: "Six catties of frost wolf bones, nine catties of giant bear bones, five catties of giant lizard bones, eighty merits. Ten moss deer skins, four giant wild boar skins, twenty-four merits." "Finally, ten catties of swimming white flowers, one hundred and ninety merits."

"A total of two hundred and ninety-four good deeds... I'll count it as three hundred good deeds!"

If it was Tie Shou, he would definitely lower An Jing's reward to 290 merits or even lower without making a fuss.

But he was Huo Qing after all, and as An Jing's friend, it was natural for him to mention three hundred.

"Then I'll treat you to a meal next time." An Jing didn't bother to be polite with his friend: "You don't have to give me good deeds, I'll spend them all here with you."

In fact, this time, An Jing also got a spirit stone from the True Demon Sect.

I originally wanted to trade this to Huo Qing, but to be honest, this spirit stone is not easy to resell. At least Huo Qing’s current ability is not good enough to hold this spirit stone.

An Jing felt that he had to wait for Tie Shou to come back. Anyway, his good deeds were enough and he still had savings in the anonymous card. It was just that he needed the money urgently and it was too troublesome to transfer it, which would affect his ability to quickly trade and prepare firepower to deal with the True Demon Cult.

Although he knew that the True Demon Cult was still operating slowly and didn't know that he was going to launch a surprise attack on them, the sooner something happened, the better.

"Spend it all. So much? That's fine."

Huo Qing originally wanted to take out three certificates for An Jing, but after hearing this, he simply saved the trouble: "How many lightning beads do you want? This thing is average in power. It can't even break the armor of demons. For people, the shrapnel and lightning arcs can hardly break the bulletproof raincoat, and it's easy to explode yourself. It's not as good as the 'Red Flame Talisman'."

"But one Red Flame Talisman requires twenty-five good deeds, and its power is too great." An Jing shook his head. Everyone in the Tianyuan Realm is a cultivator, and everyone has defensive magic weapons. Although the lethality of the lightning bead is okay, it is indeed difficult to cause casualties without preparation.

But An Jing only planned to use it to deal with the minions of the True Demon Sect in Huaixu Realm - this thing is much more useful than a gun.

An Jing originally had three unused thunder beads left, and this time he purchased seventeen more in one go, making up the total of twenty, consuming one hundred and fifty-three good deeds.

Then, he spent another fifty merits to buy five universal flying swords for the sword box.

In this way, there were ninety-seven merits left out of the three hundred merits. An Jing thought about it and bought two black iron swords and an alloy explosion-proof shield, spending fifty merits.

A batch of detonators and matching blasting explosives used for blasting mining, fifteen good deeds.

He bought another batch of bullets and a fully covered motorcycle helmet, twenty good deeds.

Then, he took out the full set of bulletproof raincoats, Icefall rifle and Chongming sword box that he had stored here, and used the remaining change to charge the Nine Earths Spiritual Furnace (not the Fengduwei's spiritual furnace, which was placed in Huaixu to avoid being discovered by Luofu) here.

"It should be almost all spent." After finishing all this, An Jing said lightly: "If there is any left, consider it as a meal for you."

"No, brother, what are you going to do?"

No matter how slow Huo Qing was, he put down the water mirror panel he was using to record accounts and realized something was wrong: "Which gang are you going to raid? Or are you going to fight with other wilderness tribes? Do you need me to take you with you?"

Today, An Jing has twenty thunder beads on his body, two gunpowder pistols on both sides, two black iron swords on his waist, an alloy explosion-proof shield on his back, a bulletproof raincoat on his body, and a bulletproof helmet on his head. He has enough bullets to fight a skirmish and enough explosives to blow up a small bunker.

Not to mention his two long-range sidearms, the Icefall can slow down enemies, and the Chongming Sword Box can kill powerful enemies. He is simply armed to the teeth!
