Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 5 Three Outer Gate Benefits
Manager Chen also looked thoughtfully at the martial arts in Xiao Chen's hand, but said nothing.

After receiving the skills, the next step is to choose a courtyard.

Outer disciples have a total of three sect benefits.

The first is to choose a suitable martial arts method by yourself, and as your cultivation level breaks through in the future, you can also receive the corresponding advanced martial arts methods.

In this way, there is no need to seek new skills every time a breakthrough occurs like a casual cultivator.

The second is that you can choose an uninhabited courtyard in the branch as your residence.

They no longer need to live in one room with several people like the menial disciples, but can live in their own house.

The third one is that you can receive a low-grade magic weapon for free as your own protective treasure.

Although the magic weapons are refined in this uniform manner, in order to ensure quantity, the quality is relatively not very good, and they may not necessarily be suitable for the cultivator himself.

But you have to know that even the most common low-grade magic weapon is worth hundreds of spirit stones.

According to the average monthly salary of 3 spirit stones per outer disciple, it is equivalent to more than three years' salary.

Most outer disciples, before being promoted to inner disciples, used the sect's standard instruments and were reluctant to replace them with more expensive custom instruments.

There are not many vacant houses in the second branch, so Xiao Chen chose a small courtyard in the southeast corner.

Next is an hour of free time, allowing them to clean up their original residences and bring any useful items over.

Jiang Sixuan chose a small courtyard on the south side, but did not decorate it directly. Instead, she went to find Xiao Chen.

"Brother Xiao, it's time to choose a magical weapon when we get back. New disciples can choose to give up the standard mass-produced magical weapons and purchase better customized ones at a discount."

"This way, it's much cheaper, and the magic weapon you get is more suitable. It's a hidden benefit."

"I have saved up some spirit stones. If you need them later, just let me know."

There is such a discount?

Xiao Chen noted this information and shook his head: "Thank you for the reminder, Junior Sister, but I have also saved a little money."

Jiang Sixuan smiled slightly and turned to leave.

A menial disciple could only earn one spirit stone a month. Even if he didn't spend anything in three years, he would only have earned thirty-six spirit stones.

By then Xiao Chen will realize that that little bit of savings is just a drop in the bucket.

At that time, it will become clear whether it is really due to lack of resources that he is forced to choose the yellow-level martial arts, or there are other reasons.

Xiao Chen actually didn't have anything worth moving, and the servants didn't have any tables, chairs, or furniture.

But since Jiang Sixuan reminded him that he would need the spirit stones later, he returned to the Miscellaneous Services Peak, hid in a deserted place, and took out the 200 spirit stones that were awarded as a reward.

Afterwards, he went to the Merit Hall and took out the 35 spirit stones he had saved and put them all in his arms.

Although the spirit stones were not big, it was still almost impossible to fit so many of them in.

"It would be nice to have a storage bag."

Unfortunately, storage tools are also tools. Only when you become an inner disciple will the sect give you a free storage bag.

When I returned to the branch with a bulging bag of spirit stones, Manager Chen was already waiting at the gate.

His eyes swept over Xiao Chen's chest: "Oh, you want to exchange the magic weapon yourself? If so, go to the Merit Hall first to choose the style you like."

The Lihuomen Merit Hall is not only responsible for calculating and distributing monthly salaries to disciples.

Accepting sect missions and exchanging sect treasures are also within its scope of responsibility.

Returning to the Merit Hall, Xiao Chen explained his purpose and was led to the inner hall by the on-duty senior brother, who introduced him to various custom-made magical instruments. "Since you have a wood spiritual root, Junior Brother Xiao, I recommend this ebony flag. This flag is made of a thousand-year-old ebony pole, and the front is embroidered with a black-gold snake pattern, representing the poison pattern. The back is embroidered with dark clouds, representing the fog pattern. When waved, a poisonous fog will spread, achieving victory through surprise."

Xiao Chen took a look and found that the ebony flag was priced at 180 spirit stones, which was still within his acceptable range.

He had just found out that if he gave up the standard flying sword issued by the unified sect, he could get a discount of one hundred spirit stones.

In this way, he can consider any magic weapon within 300 spirit stones.

"Excuse me, Senior Brother, do you have any better recommendations?"

"Oh? In that case, Junior Brother, come and take a look at this green gourd. It contains a green wood spirit that can evolve into a green wood divine general. Not only can you command the divine general to fight against the enemy, but there is also room for improvement in the future."

It’s actually a summoning weapon!
Xiao Chen immediately became interested, as this kind of magic weapon is not common.

He first glanced at the label below, and sure enough, this gourd was originally a mid-grade magic weapon, worth 800 spirit stones.

However, the gourd was damaged during the last battle against the enemy.

Of the original three divine generals, only one is left now, and his power has also dropped to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

At present, the price tag of 280 spirit stones is a bit high, so it has not been sold even after two and a half years.

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up; this magic weapon was exactly what he wanted.

Now he only needs to spend 180 spirit stones to buy the green gourd, and the cost-effectiveness immediately appears to be quite high.

If the corresponding materials can be collected in the future and the damage can be repaired, the green gourd can be upgraded to a mid-grade magic weapon again.

More importantly, this green gourd essentially cultivates the green wood spiritual energy.

When practicing martial arts, if you can comprehend the spiritual energy of Qingmu, it can gain some benefits and speed up your practice, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"I want this green gourd. Please wait for a moment, Senior Brother. Our manager will be here soon."

"Okay, okay. If you've made your choice, Junior Brother Xiao, please come here and pay the 180 spirit stones. We can complete the rest of the process later."

Hearing that Xiao Chen was willing to buy the green gourd, the brother on duty also felt relieved.

Most disciples cannot afford customized magical instruments, and the few wealthy disciples often make arrangements in advance.

The green gourds have been placed here but have not been sold for a long time. Today, I can finally get rid of this pest.

As a result, he began to look at Xiao Chen with a little more favor.

Not only did he complete the registration of the magical instrument in advance, he also kindly reminded: "I heard that if this gourd wants to be repaired, it needs to collect Qingmu Spirit Liquid."

"We don't have this item in our sect's storehouse for now. If you're interested, please go to the Baibaolou in the market and ask around. They auctioned off the Qingmu Spiritual Liquid there eight years ago."

Xiao Chen bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."

As they were talking, Manager Chen also brought Ye Fei and Jiang Sixuan to the Merit Hall to purchase magical instruments.

As soon as Jiang Sixuan entered the room, she saw the green gourd hanging around Xiao Chen's waist, and a strange light immediately flashed in her beautiful eyes.

As a member of the Jiang family, she had heard of the Green Gourd before she came. If there hadn't been a fire-attributed magic weapon that hadn't been picked up yet, the Green Gourd would have been one of the cost-effective alternatives.

Xiao Chen actually has the ability to take the Green Gourd, which means that he is definitely not an ordinary cultivator who is so poor that he has no spirit stones to practice.

If this is the case, then it is really intriguing that he chose the Huang-level technique instead of the Xuan-level technique.

Jiang Sixuan glanced at Xiao Chen quietly, thinking about the evening banquet in her mind.

Since she couldn't see it clearly herself, she decided to ask her brother to come and help test it out.
