The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 162: 159: Equipment and Wonders
The path to immortality is to achieve longevity, but the road is difficult and dangerous, so one must have the means to protect the way.

Magical skills, magical instruments and treasures, talismans and formations, puppets and Taoist soldiers, beast-controlling mounts...

There are so many things that can be thought of, but over the years, Chu Zhou has focused on magic and martial arts, and has hardly dabbled in other things.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that the environment of this world is like this, and he has no channels to obtain magical instruments, treasures, talismans, formations and the like.

Up to now, he had only come into contact with a 'immobilization bell', and he had no idea whether it could be considered a magic weapon or not.

As for learning and refining by himself, Chu Zhou had never even thought about it.

Any minor will take up too much time, energy, and various consumables. How can it be easy to start from scratch?

Until now, he finally saw the most attractive side of Xiandao. When he opened the "Equipment" item, the one hanging at the top was the treasure that Chu Zhou wanted most.

…………

As Chu Zhou watched, he didn't want to watch anymore. He just felt depressed.

Although those listed above are all labeled as "standard", they cannot be considered high-quality products; there are also no ones that are obviously unusable, such as spiritual treasures and immortal weapons.

But the price is so touching!
Any top-grade magic weapon requires 10,000 merit points. A high-grade one requires less, at least 8,000 merit points; a mid-grade one requires 6,000 merit points; and a low-grade one requires 5,000 merit points.

When it comes to magic tools, the price is relatively affordable. It varies according to different types, but the cheapest one costs over one thousand.

Before, Chu Zhou thought that ten thousand merit points were pretty good and could be exchanged for a lot of immortal cultivation courses, but after seeing these magical instruments and treasures, he immediately no longer felt that way.

What’s even more outrageous is that there is a line of notes at the end, because the secret realm has not been opened, it has not been connected to Taixutian.

So, the shipping cost is five thousand per time!
Yes, the shipping cost alone is as high as five thousand!

Seeing this, Chu Zhou felt like cursing.

Fortunately, another piece of information flowed through, saying that the purchased magic tools and treasures could be transported together via the channel of the 'Secret Realm Tracking Stone', free of charge.

But this is the only chance!
If 'equipment' is for personal use, then 'wonder' is for the sect.

For example, the wonder that Chu Zhou caught his eye at first sight was the Inverted Mountain!
As the name suggests, it is an inverted mountain suspended in the clouds, with a usable surface area of ​​5,000 acres. There are various buildings on it, and it can be used as the core of a sect.

There is also a large mountain protection formation and a Yin-Yang Micro-Dust Formation. Even if an immortal were to descend to the world, he might not be able to break in.

As for other things, such as gathering spirits, floating, moving, etc., there is no need to say more.

It can be said to be a comprehensive building that integrates caves, mountain gates, mobile fortresses, and war machines.

Unfortunately, when Chu Zhou saw the series of '0's required to purchase, he didn't even have the courage to count them.

Of course, in addition to these, there are some more practical wonders. For example, the road to the heart can be set up on an independent mountain trail to screen disciples. Anyone with a bad character, a half-hearted person, or a hidden person sent from outside will be exposed once he walks on this road.

Another example is the meditation room, which looks like a mountain, with holes all over the cliff, and the place inside is for cultivation.

It is not only absolutely quiet, but also has a rich spiritual energy flowing through it, which has the effect of gathering spirits. It is best used during retreat practice or breakthroughs, as the chances of success can be greatly increased.

There is also a martial arts arena, which can increase the understanding of disciples. No matter whether it is practicing magic or practicing martial arts, it has a good effect.

The opposite is the duel arena, where you can kill someone once you enter. As long as you are still breathing, you will not die; even if you are out of breath, you can still hold on to your last breath.

This is definitely the best place for fighting and practicing martial arts, and it can also help you quickly accumulate combat experience.

There are many such wonders, but the problem remains: the better the item, the more expensive it is. It really is, really is...

It's hard to say!
……

Chu Zhou left the Jieying Hall, almost escaping, for fear that he would be upset and cry because of his poverty.

He felt that this game was a bit too much. After completing each task, the game only gave a little merit and offered such tempting rewards. Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable when they could see it but not touch it?

However, after he recovered, he worked on himself and built up his mental strength.

Just because he can't afford it now doesn't mean he won't be able to afford it in the future. When he has more merit points than he can use up, he will buy one and throw one away, just to put on a generous face.

Of course, now, you still have to screen carefully and choose what you need.

At the desk,
In the incense burner, a column of "calming and soothing incense" was lit. In the misty smoke, Chu Zhou felt that his chaotic mood calmed down and his mind became unusually clear.

Spreading out a piece of paper and dipping the tip of the pen into ink, Chu Zhou began to write and draw again.

The 10,000 merit points are there. This is the upper limit of the budget. Then there are the three items of class time, equipment and wonders. See how much you can get for each item.
Which ones are necessary, which ones are very useful, and which ones are dispensable...

He wrote and drew, and soon many figures appeared on the paper. Gradually, he had a clear understanding.

First, he divided the 10,000 merit points into two parts, 5,000 of which were given to the class hours, which also included the cost of using the 'Platform for the Performance of the Dharma by the Heavens'.

The other 5,000 merit points belonged to the two categories of "wonders" and "equipment". For "equipment", he gave up high-value items such as magic weapons and treasures.

Even though he has been practicing Taoism for a long time, he doesn't even have a suitable magic weapon. It would be embarrassing to tell others about it.

But reality is reality and we have to acknowledge it.

However, in addition to magical instruments and treasures, there are also talismans that can be used!
Although they are disposable, talismans have the advantages of being easy to use, available at any time, and inexpensive.

Chu Zhou remembered that there was a kind of "Vajra Talisman" that could form a protective aura, which could resist three attacks below the Golden Core level within a certain period of time.

Another example is the 'Tengyun Fu', which can transform into a white cloud and fly. Its speed is much faster than the simple 'climbing cloud', and it is suitable for traveling in an emergency.

Chu Zhou remembered that this kind of talisman required about 200 merit points per set, and each set contained twelve talismans.

He planned to use one thousand merit points to buy five copies, which he could then give to his fellow apprentices as a trump card.

As for the wonders, he chose 'The Road to Self-Consciousness'.

Although he wanted to spread the secret martial arts of his own Xuanzhen Temple, he recruited so many people without any scruples.

However, Chu Zhou really didn't want the sect to be filled with a bunch of traitors who could not hide any news.

This journey of self-examination requires a full three thousand merit points, but it is still within the budget.

In this way, there were only one thousand merit points left, and Chu Zhou chose a mid-grade magic weapon.

The Five Elements Flag, after being refined, can be inserted into the earth, connecting with the five elements within the earth, forming a Five Elements field that expands to a hundred miles.

It doesn't have any effects like attack or defense, but it is extremely sensitive to evil thoughts and has an excellent early warning effect.

Chu Zhou was interested in this because he felt that patrolling the mountain solely by manpower would always have loopholes, and it would not be as reliable as this magical weapon he had never seen before.

In this way, five thousand merit points will be gone. As for the courses, you can take your time and there is no need to rush.

However, Chu Zhou has already decided on the first course he will learn, "Advanced Immortal and Martial Arts Fusion".

The reason for choosing it is simple. This course can make his strength grow explosively in the shortest time.

It is worth mentioning that the teacher of this course is his acquaintance, Huang Dali, a celestial general who was born as a Yellow Turban Warrior.

Chu Zhou felt that after a few more fights with this old man, his imperfect martial arts skills would surely make great progress.

That night,

After completing the regular training, Chu Zhou entered the Reception Hall without hesitation, clicked on the exchange option again, confirmed what he needed, checked them one by one, and paid for them directly.

So, in the boundless distance, a certain being received this order, and with a few casual moves, all the items in the order were delivered.

However, when he looked at the delivery address, he frowned. The unopened secret realm made the originally simple delivery become troublesome.

Finally, he stretched out his hand, and a huge amount of spiritual energy surged in the void, wrapping the object tightly, and then stacking it up layer by layer to form a stone half a person's height.

Then he threw the stone away.

Then, in the sky, a meteorite wrapped in flames was born, almost ignoring all kinds of resistance in the universe, and flew straight towards its predetermined target.

Of course, Chu Zhou didn’t know about this and didn’t have the energy to think about it.

Because, under the reflection of the starry sky, Chu Zhou had already taken out the Azure Dragon and Blue Sea Formation. He saw a blue sea dragon soaring in the rolling clouds and mist, and used various means of attack.

But facing Huang Dali, the teacher of "Advanced Immortal and Martial Arts Fusion", he seemed quite powerless and was badly abused.

　I want to be faster every day, but it’s so frustrating when it comes to this point every day…
