After giving Li Luoqiu the shared bracelet, Sect Master Jun spent 200 contribution points to add ten movement technique training rooms for Drizzle Hall.

This item, like the body-shaping room, belonged to basic infrastructure, mainly targeting people who emphasized speed.

New disciples primarily focused on shaping their physical bodies and raising spiritual energy, so equipping it for Drizzle Hall meant training according to ‘assassin’ methods.

After Hall Master Li left, Jun Changxiao continued browsing the middle-tier mall, then saw another item named Spirit-Refining Pill Formula.

He clicked on details—

Item: Spirit-Refining Pill Formula.

Effect: Can refine the spiritual energy within energy spirals and spiritual cores, thereby condensing stronger combat power.

Price: 1,000 contribution points.

Jun Changxiao murmured, “Seems quite good.”

“Ding! Host consumed 1,000 contribution points to obtain Spirit-Refining Pill Formula ×1, already delivered to spatial ring.”

“Ding! Sect Contribution Points: 5470/10000.”

The formula automatically matched with Pill Refining Pavilion.

He just happened to have all six medicinal materials needed to refine this item and could make 50 pills, so he immediately maximized production with one click.

Continuing to browse the mall.

The product Intermediate Thunderclap Technique appeared in his field of vision.

Spirit Beast Pavilion had Basic Thunderclap Technique—the intermediate version was naturally an upgrade.

However, lacking suitable thunder element crystal cores, Sect Master Jun still hadn’t equipped the young purple lightning tiger with the basic skill.

“Buy it first. Can use it later.”

“Ding!…”

After buying the Intermediate Thunderclap Technique, it automatically matched to Spirit Beast Pavilion.

Good heavens, this intermediate skill required even more thunder element crystal cores. For Sect Master Jun to collect enough would definitely take some time.

“Looks like I’ll need to have Procurement Hall pay more attention to thunder element crystal cores.”

Jun Changxiao continued viewing the mall. Finding nothing good, he closed the system panel.

“Keep refreshing!” the system urged.

Jun Changxiao rolled his eyes. “In a short while I spent nearly 6,000 contribution points. If you don’t feel the pain, I do!”

He had originally aimed for array formation aptitude liquid, but after spending so many contribution points without getting it—this told us: yearning brings no echo!

However.

Being able to get the pill formula and Intermediate Thunderclap Technique was still very worthwhile.

“Ding!”

The notification sounded—Spirit-Refining Pills were ready.

Jun Changxiao retrieved the pills and unceremoniously consumed one.

“Whoosh whoosh—”

Instantly, the spiritual energy within the two spiritual cores in his dantian began violently boiling, then started refining and升华!

When breaking through major realms, spiritual energy underwent similar refinement.

Training in the third floor of the Trial Tower also had the effect of refining spiritual energy.

Now experiencing it again through the Spirit-Refining Pill—that feeling was truly exhilarating!

Half an hour later.

The churning spiritual energy returned to normal.

Jun Changxiao clenched his fists. Spiritual energy gathered in his meridians, making him realize his power was noticeably stronger than before!

Boom—

In the training room, one punch—the displayed power was 4.5 million jin.

“Damn!”

Jun Changxiao was shocked. “After taking one Spirit-Refining Pill, it actually increased by 500,000 jin!”

The system said, “This isn’t strength fried rice—it’s a permanent increase.”

Jun Changxiao’s gaze burned. “Isn’t it just like Body-Shaping Pills?”

“Body-Shaping Pills increase physical strength to drive combat power. Spirit-Refining Pills refine spiritual energy to increase combat power. The two have fundamental differences.” The system explained.

Jun Changxiao said, “If we could mass-produce them and have disciples each take one, that would be amazing!”

Amazing was amazing.

But materials were lacking.

So medicinal materials, seeds, and such all needed to be replenished.

The next day.

Procurement Hall members successively descended the mountain, going to various cities to purchase martial dao resources, focusing on thunder element crystal cores and medicinal materials or seeds for refining Spirit-Refining Pills.

Seeds were easy to find. Medicinal materials and crystal cores were difficult, especially the rather rare thunder element crystal cores.

“Need to find time to personally search.” Jun Changxiao said.

Special attribute crystal cores were definitely in dangerous deep mountains and forests. Having disciples search was still somewhat dangerous.

However.

As Iron Bones Sect’s overall strength increased, the Mission Publisher issued different daily missions, with many tasks focused on hunting high-grade fierce beasts.

This was inevitable.

A group of Martial Master and Martial Ancestor disciples doing letter delivery and water-carrying tasks would definitely be incongruous.

…

Fire Dragon, having激发 the second form, remained in a weakened state.

Ouyang Jun, who came to the sect with his daughter, had already obtained certification and上岗, becoming Iron Bones Sect’s second chef.

In the culinary path, Ouyang Jun was an old expert. The food he made was in no way inferior to Liu Wanshi.

Iron Bones Sect disciples had美食 supply again, regaining vitality, and cultivated with full passion.

As for the white-robed youth who had been swindling, he continued enjoying torture from Happy Football, his days truly worse than death.

“Comfortable?”

This day, Jun Changxiao came to the prison cell to visit him.

The white-robed youth lay on the ground with disheveled hair, his voice hoarse. “Sect… Sect Master Jun, please… spare me…”

His entire face was swollen in some places, bruised in others, with no intact areas.

Jun Changxiao said, “If this seat didn’t spare you, you’d have died ten thousand times by now.”

The white-robed youth was smart and knew the other party wasn’t killing him because he had utility value, but wouldn’t say what it was—just kept beating him daily. Was this interesting!

“Kid.”

Jun Changxiao said, “What’s your name?”

“Zhao… Zhao Doudou!” the white-robed youth said with difficulty.

“Xiao Mu.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Keep beating.”

“Yes!”

Su Xiaomo entered from outside and without a word gave Zhao Doudou a thorough beating.

“Eat sleep beat Doudou.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Just based on that name, not beating you would be embarrassing.”

“…”

Zhao Doudou collapsed on the ground, tears flowing in his heart.

Jun Changxiao said, “Over these years you’ve swindled people—if not ten thousand then eight thousand. Suffering a bit at Iron Bones Sect is appropriate.”

“Sect Master Jun… I only swindle wealthy merchants and powerful豪绅… never swindled poor common people…” Zhao Doudou said weakly.

“Heh.”

Jun Changxiao said, “So you’re a righteous swindler?”

Zhao Doudou endured the pain, struggling to speak smoothly. “The Swindling Record contains all my swindling records and victims since graduation. Except when I was young and ignorant and swindled a同龄 girl’s first kiss, all those swindled were deserving!”

“After graduation?”

Jun Changxiao stroked his chin. “Hearing you talk, your swindling techniques were taught by someone?”

Zhao Doudou fell silent.

Jun Changxiao had no interest in continuing to ask. “Just stay in prison from now on. When this seat is in a good mood someday, maybe I’ll release you.”

Creak.

The prison door closed.

Su Xiaomo followed behind. “This fellow impersonated the Sect Master’s name to swindle outside. The nature is extremely vile. Why not just kill him?”

Jun Changxiao rubbed his nose. “Swindling since childhood counts as some ability. Keep him at the sect first—maybe he’ll come in handy later.”

“Keeping him for free?” Su Xiaomo said.

“Of course not. When you’re free, you can eat sleep beat Doudou.”

“Sect Master, I understand.”

Su Xiaomo’s mouth curved up in a sinister smile.
