The Strongest Sect of All Times

One bottle of Aptitude Transformation Fluid cost 50 points, making Jun Changxiao nervous. But when he thought about it, it could improve his spiritual root so he consoled himself, “It’s worth it, it’s worth it.”

He pulled the small bottle out from the storage ring. 

Pah!

He uncorked the bottle and a red aura seemed to seep out. 

Jun Changxiao sniffed at it and it caused him to choke. He became even more nervous and wondered, “This isn’t poisonous, right?”

“Whatever, I shouldn’t think about that. I should down it first!”

Sect Head Jun then lifted the bottle to his mouth and down the thing. 

It was a little bitter, but there was the fragrance and mellowness of malt. 

“Come!”

Jun Changxiao sat cross-legged and looked serious. 

What was he doing?

He was mentally preparing for the pain of the medicine!

It seemed that to Jun Changxiao, something that could change aptitude would cut his bones and cleanse his marrows — there was definitely some sort of risk. 

Hu, hu!

Sure enough, as the medicinal fluid spread through his body, a boundless aura instantly erupted!

Jun Changxiao clenched his fist, eyes twinkling with determination. He stated, “No matter how hard it will be to endure the pain, this lord can depend on great willpower—”

[Ding! The host has used Aptitude Transformation Fluid x1, transforming spiritual root!]

[The spirit root is being transformed!]

“…”

Jun Changxiao felt the corners of his mouth twitching. 

He had prepared for pain, but the transformation had been so quick and simple — this was a little too casual!

The next second. 

Jun Changxiao realized that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to flutter, much more amicable than before. 

With a better aptitude, he was able to detect energy better too. 

For a high-tier aptitude like Li Qingyang, as long as he revolved the core technique, the spiritual energy would be easily absorbed. 

Jun Changxiao could not do so. 

He had tried to cultivate a moment ago, but the spiritual energy had seemed cold and indifferent. 

Now?

There was a change in attitude!

Jun Changxiao was unable to contain his joy. “This thing is only 50 points, what a bargain!”

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, aptitude has been promoted from low-grade to ordinary-grade!]

Jun Changxiao shook his head. “Sure enough, my previous aptitude was a disappointing low-grade. No wonder even the spiritual energy was cold and indifferent.”

Hu!

He stretched and breathed in, his whole body feeling refreshed!

[Ding! The host has successfully broken through to Meridian Opening Stage Six!]

[Ding! The host has successfully broken through to Meridian Opening Stage Seven!]

Hearing the wonderful notifications, Jun Changxiao was a bit dumbfounded. “I just breathed in and opened two meridians?”

The system explained, [With the upgrade in aptitude, the cultivation base will also be promoted.]

“So it’s like that.”

Jun Changxiao roughly understood. 

He had upgraded from low to ordinary-grade and opened two meridians. If he then upgraded to mid-grade, his cultivation would also increase. 

…

With a better aptitude, what should he do?

Cultivate, of course!

While the second disciple was struggling to renovate the sect, the great Sect Head Jun started to cultivate behind closed doors. 

“This Mind-Cleansing Art should be an ordinary-grade technique; I can use it for cultivation.”

The Mind-Cleansing Art was a core technique that the Azure Mountain Sect elder used. With the Insight Talisman, not only did Jun Changxiao learn it, but he also took the opportunity to comprehend it to the fourth layer. 

Sitting cross-legged, he revolved the art. 

Hu, hu!

Shortly, the spiritual energy was towed towards him, flooding into his body. 

After the qi integrated into his body, it flowed through his meridians and gathered in his dantian. Under the refinement of the Mind-Cleansing Art, it had already formed a core about the size of a fingernail. 

According to the original Jun Changxiao, this was known as spirit energy. 

The energy inside his dantian could be used to open up the body’s meridians, thus achieving a realm breakthrough.

“Continue, continue!”

Jun Changxiao threw away the distracting thoughts and continued to revolve the core technique. 

However, after a night of effort, the energy inside his dantian had only increased a little. 

He was disappointed. “If I want to achieve a breakthrough, it will take several months.”

It was several months due to the Mind-Cleansing Art. 

If he was using a low-tier technique and had his previous aptitude, it would already be good if he could break through within a year. 

“Too slow!”

Jun Changxiao said, “System, is there a faster way to open meridians?”

[There is], said the system. 

Jun Changxiao was pleasantly surprised. “What is it?”

The system said, [Click on the sect contribution points.]

“Huh?”

Jun Changxiao was confused, but opened the system interface and clicked on sect contribution. A new, smaller panel immediately opened. 

It read [Exchange points for cultivation.]

“My god!”

Jun Changxiao was excited. “So there was actually such a function to change points to cultivation!”

The system reminded, [This function, although convenient, will consume all of the host’s contribution points at once. Please seriously consider before making a decision.]

“Is that so?”

Jun Changxiao tapped his chin and seriously considered. 

If he exchanged all his points, but only increased one level, that would definitely be a loss!

“No, no.”

After some more thought, Jun Changxiao seriously concluded, “My present cultivation is too low. This is an urgent matter, so I must increase my realm as soon as possible!”

Moreover.

After a few days of study, he discovered that besides a small number of techniques and weapons, the other items in the store were expensive and had certain conditions for use. 

For example, the ‘Nine Heavy Collapsing Fist’. Although it only cost 10 points, the description stated that he needed to be Meridian Opening Stage Ten to use it. 

“Huff!”

Jun Changxiao breathed out and said, “Contribution points can just be earned. If I do not increase my strength, how will I survive on Falling Star Continent?”

Shua!

As he spoke, he resolutely clicked on the [Exchange] button. 

[Ding! Sect Contribution: 0/100]

“…”

The 47 points were instantly reset to 0, making Jun Changxiao incomparably nervous. After all, those had all been laboriously gained in Qingyang City!

[Ding! The host has successfully broken through to Meridian Opening Stage Eight!]

[Ding! The host has successfully broken through to Meridian Opening Stage Nine!]

[Ding! The host has successfully broken through to Meridian Opening Stage Ten!]

“My god!” He was pleasantly surprised. “I unexpectedly opened three meridians!”

47 points for three levels; to Jun Changxiao, this was acceptable. 

The system said, [The host’s cultivation is currently low so the point exchange can bring breakthroughs. Once your cultivation is higher, it will not be as cost-effective.]

Jun Changxiao did not pay it any attention and clenched his fists. Ten dazzling rings appeared around his wrists. With a smile, he said, “The feeling of strength is refreshing!”

Bang!

He punched and part of the building collapsed. 

The great Sect Head Jun was directly buried by the bricks. 

The next day. 

Li Qingyang stood before the ruins and solemnly declared, “Sect Head, this punch of yours will cost us at least 200 taels for reconstruction.”

Jun Changxiao, who was covered in dust, heard this and immediately his eyes rolled back as he fainted.
