From breaking the limits of the White Ape Fist to becoming a martial arts saint.

Chapter 116 Crimson Earth Dragon Pig! Exchange!

After leaving Commander Li's room, Su Yu bid farewell to his senior sister and the others, and headed to the Hall of Merit without hesitation.

The Hall of Merit was located in the back hall of the government office, with strict security. Behind the counter sat an elderly man with a goatee and a sprightly demeanor.

"Old man, I've come to collect my merit." Su Yu handed over his token.

"Hmm, so you are Su Yu. Indeed, the younger generation is formidable. My name is Tian Mo, and I am in charge of this Hall of Merit."

Tian Mo seemed to know Su Yu. After briefly checking his token, he returned it to him and handed him a thick, dark gold book. "Su Yu, you currently have five thousand merit points in your account. Take a look and see what you want to exchange for."

Su Yu took the book, turned to the first page, and a line of small print caught his eye: "Merit points circulate within our enforcement team to reward those who have made contributions. They can be exchanged for treasures and ultimate skills—"

He quickly flipped to the list of pills: "Pills: Red Ginseng Jade Skin Pill, exchange price 5 points. For beginners in martial arts, it can strengthen qi and blood and fortify the skin."

"Pills: Black Scale Blood Aperture Pill, exchange price 15 points. Requires one cultivation session for a martial artist at the Aperture Realm, can increase Qi and blood."

"...

""

"Pills: Crimson Jade Pill, exchange price 5000 points. Can help those who have reached the third stage of perfect acupoints break through the bottleneck of the Flesh Refining Realm."

Su Yu's eyes flashed with shock when he saw the list of exchangeable pills.

Although the variety of pills in this Merit Pavilion is not large, they are all practical and precious items, and they are very cost-effective to exchange for with merit points.

For example, the red ginseng jade skin pills he took before cost at least ten taels of silver per pill, but here they only cost five merit points.

There's also the Black Scale Blood Aperture Pill that I'm currently taking, which costs a good thirty taels of silver per pill.

However, his master provides him with pills every month, so he doesn't need them for the time being.

This Crimson Jade Pill is a valuable item; it can actually help break through the bottleneck of the Body Refining Realm. You should know that valuable items that can help break through bottlenecks are the highlight of auctions in places like the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and their value is extremely high.

You can redeem it directly here!

However, this thing is useless to him. What he wants is the Marrow Cleansing and Bone Strengthening Pill, which can improve his physical constitution!

He quickly flipped through the pages, reaching the last page, but still found nothing.

Why is there no record of this here?

However, according to her senior sister, she had found out about the existence of this elixir.

Su Yu frowned slightly, put down the book, and looked at Tian Mo, who was leisurely sipping tea: "Elder Tian, ​​I have a question. I heard that the team has precious pills that can improve one's physical constitution for exchange, so why is it on this booklet—"

Tian Mo paused slightly, glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

Su Yu understood immediately. He glanced around and, seeing that no one was around, quickly took out a ten-tael silver note from his pocket and quietly pushed it across the table.

"Mr. Tian, ​​I am new here and would appreciate your guidance."

Tian Mo calmly placed the book on top of the banknote, smiled, and said, "Captain Su is indeed a clever man. I enjoy associating with well-mannered young men like you."

He lowered his voice: "The contents of this book are indeed incomplete. Some of the good things are in limited quantities and are too coveted. The adults haven't decided on the specific quantities yet."

"If we take too little, we're afraid you'll fight amongst yourselves and end up turning against each other. If we take too much, there's simply not enough to go around, and it won't be easy to reconcile the interests of all parties."

Su Yu nodded and whispered, "I wonder how many of those Marrow Cleansing and Bone Strengthening Pills the adults will ultimately give as rewards? And how many merit points does one pill require?"

Tian Mo stroked his beard and continued, "This pill can improve one's physical constitution. The worse the constitution, the more obvious the improvement. It's an absolute treasure, even among Xuan-rank pills, it's top-tier. Countless aristocratic scions are eyeing it! Let me give you a heads-up, the pavilion will only be able to produce one at most next year. As for the price—"

He held up five fingers and shook them: "At least 50,000 points!"

Fifty thousand points!

Su Yu's heart clenched violently; the value of this pill was even greater than he had imagined!

His salary as captain was only a little over a thousand yuan a year!

If you accumulate 50,000 points, wouldn't it take forty or fifty years?

Even if you achieve such a feat every year and gain 5,000 points, it would still take at least several years, and that's the most optimistic estimate!

Is this junk really meant for people to redeem?

Thinking of this, he felt a little envious of Cui Wanhe. He never expected that Cui Wanhe, who ranked first in the martial arts examination, would directly receive a marrow cleansing and bone-strengthening pill!

Unfortunately, I started learning martial arts too late. I only managed to get one acupoint during the martial arts examination, so I could never win the title of the top martial arts scholar!

As for next year, whether there will be a martial arts examination, or whether the top scorer will receive this precious elixir again, is all unknown.

Moreover, this year's situation is special, and the enforcement team has just been established. According to his prediction, there is a high probability that the martial arts examination will not be as grand as this year's next year!

"Thank you very much, Elder Tian. I wonder when the merit list for exchanging these pills will be updated?"

"The redemption list will be updated early next year, and it will most likely be added then!"

"Thank you for telling me the truth, Mr. Tian." Su Yu took a deep breath to calm himself down. Knowing the price was better than running around like a headless chicken.

However, by early next year, he will have no chance of accumulating 50,000 merit points, and he will have to compete with even more people!

It looks like I'll have to do more missions in this law enforcement team to accumulate merits.

After obtaining the information about the pills he wanted, Su Yu continued to quickly browse through the other catalogs and discovered that there were indeed many good items in the Merit Pavilion.

Besides elixirs, there are also many superior martial arts techniques, such as the Snow-Treading Step, the Blood Shadow Saber Technique, and the Sunset Spear.

In addition, there are weapons, armor, and all sorts of rare and precious materials.

For example, you can exchange for items like treasure fish and flying dragons, but these items are updated from time to time, and if they're all gone, you'll just have to wait.

I currently have no shortage of pills and cultivation techniques, and my weapons, including the Ink Abyss and Heavy Water Tungsten Gold Coins, are sufficient for the time being. As for armor, I don't need it for my Black Stone Body Tempering Technique.

So, you either have to keep accumulating merit points or exchange a portion of them for rare and precious herbs to replenish your qi and blood and improve your martial arts cultivation as soon as possible!

There are also some special pills, such as hemostatic pills, that you can exchange for and keep some on hand.

"Elder Tian, ​​I have another question. I need to replenish my qi and blood for martial arts practice, and I'm wondering which type of replenishment would be suitable?"

A hint of approval appeared in Tian Mo's eyes. He turned to the middle of the book and pointed to a line with his withered finger: "This Crimson Essence Earth Dragon Pig Beast meat is the most suitable. Although its effect on increasing blood and qi is much worse than that of Flying Dragon meat, it only costs ten merit points per serving, and each serving weighs ten catties, making it the most cost-effective."

After a moment's thought, Su Yu said, "Then please exchange ten sets for me, Elder Tian! And one bottle of Qi and Blood Pills as well—"

The front courtyard of the Su residence.

The winter sun shines on the stone table in the corner, a long-awaited good day.

Su Yu sat on a stone bench, gnawing on a large bone the size of a washbasin.

This large bone was made from the meat of the Crimson Essence Earth Dragon Pig Beast. He had Mu Ying simmer it over a low flame with a secret recipe for a full three hours until the meat was tender and flavorful. With each bite, you could not only taste the unique chewiness and rich aroma of the beast meat, but also feel a strong warmth that went straight down your throat to your stomach.

As he continued to swallow the beast meat, the martial artist's furnace-like stomach and intestines churned wildly, absorbing the rich qi and blood contained within the meat and transforming it into streams of heat flowing to his limbs and bones.

Before Su Yu's eyes, ink-wash style characters would occasionally appear:

[Progress towards breaking the limit +0.1%]

[Progress towards breaking the limit +0.1%]

Before long, after finishing ten catties of beast meat, Su Yu touched his belly and felt full. He looked up to check the progress of the final breakthrough point.

[Breakthrough Point]: 0 points (Progress 33.3%)

"Great stuff! They added a whole bit more than that!"

Su Yu's eyes gleamed. These ten catties of beast meat only added a little bit. If he ate all ten catties, wouldn't he be able to add 10% to the progress?

He quickly calculated in his mind: "In the past, even a single expensive treasure fish would only add 5% to the progress, but 100 catties of this kind of beast meat only requires 100 merit points in the Merit Hall to add about 10%. This is too cost-effective! From now on, this earth dragon pork must be provided at every meal!"
