Unrestricted Dao Lord

Zhang Su went to the Trading Hall.

Because of the situation in Hengshan County, there were far fewer disciples in the Trading Hall.

As a result, the Trading Hall seemed much more deserted.

Steward Guo Quan also seemed listless.

Suddenly, an Inner Sect Disciple walked into the Trading Hall.

Judging by his attire, he was likely a Dharma Protector Disciple.

The other Stewards only gave him a glance before paying no further mind.

But Guo Quan’s eyes lit up.

He recognized this person!

Inner Sect Disciple, Zhang Su.

Some time ago, the matter between Zhang Su and Wei Yunzhou had caused a huge stir, and nearly everyone in the Inner Sect knew about it.

Many Stewards naturally knew of Zhang Su as well.

But not many had actually seen Zhang Su in person.

Guo Quan just so happened to be one of those who had.

On the day Zhang Su beat Wei Yunzhou to death, Guo Quan was in the crowd below the ring.

He had seen Zhang Su kill Wei Yunzhou with his own eyes, leaving a deep impression on him.

Therefore, the moment Zhang Su stepped into the Trading Hall, he recognized him immediately and went to greet him without a moment’s hesitation.

After all, for Stewards in the Trading Hall, the higher the transaction value, the more they earned.

"Trading Hall Steward Guo Quan greets Junior Brother Zhang."

Guo Quan stepped forward and spoke directly.

Because many Stewards were once Inner Sect Disciples themselves.

It was quite appropriate for Guo Quan to address Zhang Su as "Junior Brother".

"Have we met?"

Zhang Su asked.

"When Junior Brother Zhang killed Wei Yunzhou in the ring, I was right there watching from below."

Hearing Guo Quan’s answer, Zhang Su understood.

So, he said directly, "I’d like to exchange for some Moonlight Pills and Cold Jade."

Guo Quan was inwardly startled.

The Moonlight Pills were one thing.

But Cold Jade... that was an extremely precious treasure of the Sect.

It could only be exchanged for with Merit Points.

No amount of Contribution Points would work.

"A single Moonlight Pill costs three hundred Contribution Points. As an Inner Sect Disciple, Junior Brother Zhang gets a twenty-percent discount, so it’s only two hundred and forty Contribution Points per pill."

"But Cold Jade is different. It can only be exchanged for with Merit Points, and there are no discounts."

Zhang Su nodded.

Inner Sect Disciples did receive discounts when exchanging for resources.

This was a benefit provided by the Sect.

Of course, this was limited to ordinary resources.

For precious resources, there were naturally no discounts.

Cold Jade clearly belonged to the precious category.

"Merit Points are no problem. How many does it take to get Cold Jade?"

Zhang Su asked.

"Cold Jade is divided into Ten-Year Cold Jade and Centennial Cold Jade. Ten-Year Cold Jade requires only one hundred Merit Points, while Centennial Cold Jade requires one thousand."

Zhang Su silently calculated in his head.

He currently had one thousand and fifty Merit Points, enough to exchange for one piece of Centennial Cold Jade.

As for the Ten-Year Cold Jade, Zhang Su didn’t even consider it.

According to his master, the older the Cold Jade, the better its effect.

The effect of ten pieces of Ten-Year Cold Jade couldn’t compare to a single piece of Centennial Cold Jade.

’If I’m going to get one, I’ll get the best!’

After all, this concerned his Cultivation of the Three Yin Divine Techniques; he couldn’t be careless.

Having made his decision, Zhang Su said directly, "Get me thirty Moonlight Pills and one piece of Centennial Cold Jade. Here’s my Identity Token; the Contribution Points and Merit Points should be sufficient."

Guo Quan was overjoyed.

’This is a huge deal.’

Thirty Moonlight Pills, after the twenty-percent discount, came to a total of seven thousand two hundred Contribution Points.

One piece of Centennial Cold Jade was one thousand Merit Points.

Guo Quan took Zhang Su’s Identity Token and directly deducted the Merit and Contribution Points.

He then brought out the thirty Moonlight Pills.

Finally, he presented a Wooden Box.

A wisp of cold air could even be seen on the Wooden Box.

"Junior Brother Zhang, Centennial Cold Jade is no small matter. Even a Huajin Martial Artist could get frostbite if they’re not careful. The material of this Wooden Box is also very special; it can insulate against most of the Centennial Cold Jade’s chill."

"Also, whatever you do, do not touch the Centennial Cold Jade with your bare hands. When you’re ready to cultivate, open the Wooden Box and use the Centennial Cold Jade to assist your Cultivation. Don’t leave the box open, or the cold air will dissipate, and it will all be wasted."

Guo Quan reminded him carefully.

"Thank you, Steward Guo. I understand."

Zhang Su took the Wooden Box and the Moonlight Pills, then turned and left the Trading Hall.

After returning to his residence, Zhang Su found a letter for him in the mailbox in his courtyard.

He immediately took the letter and went back inside his house.

Zhang Su first opened the Wooden Box.

Inside lay a piece of Cold Jade exuding a chilling air.

Merely opening the Wooden Box caused the temperature in the air to drop instantly.

"What a fine piece of Centennial Cold Jade!"

Zhang Su was very satisfied and immediately closed the Wooden Box again.

His Compatibility with the Three Yin Divine Techniques was still very low.

Using the Centennial Cold Jade for Cultivation now would be a complete waste.

Zhang Su had no desire to waste such a precious treasure.

’I should wait until I’ve gathered enough Compatibility Value, raise my Compatibility to 100%, and then use the Centennial Cold Jade for my Cultivation.’

For now, Zhang Su first added five points of Compatibility Value to his Taiyin Divine Technique.

This raised his Compatibility with the Taiyin Divine Technique to 65%. With a 65% Compatibility, he would make do with the Moonlight Pills for his Cultivation for the time being.

’It would be best if I can reach the entry-level.’

’If I can’t, there’s no real loss.’

Afterwards, Zhang Su opened the letter in his hand.

It was a letter from his elder brother, Zhang Chen.

It must have arrived a few days ago.

The letter spoke of only one thing: the Wei Family.

Apparently, the Wei Family’s youngest son, Wei Yunfan, had escaped Qingquan Prefecture and his whereabouts were unknown.

Wei Yunfan was Wei Yunzhou’s younger brother, and he was now the Wei Family’s only remaining heir.

It was said that Wei Yunzhou had an aunt who had married someone far away.

Zhang Chen wasn’t yet sure of the exact location, but it was highly likely that Wei Yunfan had gone to seek refuge with his aunt.

Zhang Chen would investigate these matters thoroughly.

After reading it, Zhang Su didn’t pay it much mind.

Zhang Chen didn’t say what happened to the rest of the Wei Family, but Zhang Su could roughly guess.

It was simply a case of kicking a man when he’s down.
