I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

At this moment, the courtyard at No. 138 is bustling with people coming and going.

Today, as newcomers begin their journey, everyone wants to exchange merit points at a lower cost.

However, Xu Hao was curious about the background of the owner of room number 138, who was able to exploit the Five Animal Frolics Sect in such a way.

And nobody cares!

Although meritorious service does not prohibit private transactions, such blatant behavior must indicate a powerful background.

Xu Hao took a deep breath and stepped into the courtyard of No. 138.

"Newcomer, want to exchange for merit points?" As soon as Xu Hao walked in, a burly man came over and asked in a friendly manner.

Xu Hao turned his head, revealing a strange expression.

The burly man seemed to sense Xu Hao's confusion and introduced himself, "I'm Senior Brother Qin's handyman; I can trade merit points on your behalf!"

Xu Hao sized up the burly man.

The strong man was at the fourth level of Body Tempering, and his blood and qi were extremely refined, making him even stronger than Chen Changhe.

Xu Hao withdrew his gaze and asked, "How much can you exchange?"

"How much do you need to exchange, sir?" the burly man asked respectfully.

Most of those who came to exchange merit points were newly initiated outer disciples. Therefore, even though Xu Hao's aura was not at the Strength Realm, he still did not underestimate him in the slightest and was even respectful.

"Twelve hundred, I guess!" Xu Hao blurted out.

Because the technique of the Azure Crane Force requires 1,000 merit points, and if you ask someone for guidance, you will have to spend some more merit points.

Adding in the expenses for food, clothing, lodging, and transportation at the Five Animal Sect, the total of 1,200 was still a tight sum.

"So many!" Upon hearing this, the burly man immediately gestured invitingly, "Please follow me!"

His quota is five hundred, which is enough to cover ordinary outer disciples.

If someone exchanges over a thousand coins and is still an outer disciple, it indicates they have a powerful background, so they need to be introduced to the master.

Xu Hao followed closely behind the burly man and was then led into the main hall of the backyard.

Inside the main hall, there was a figure shaped like a coiled plate, exuding a powerful aura.

"Master, an outer disciple has come to exchange merit points!" the burly man announced loudly, then turned to Xu Hao and introduced, "This is my master, Qin Feilin."

Xu Hao looked up.

Qin Feilin, Strength Realm, Strength 53, Stamina 52, Agility 53, Spirit 20

Technique: Azure Crane Strength (Beginner), Characteristics: Strength +25, Speed ​​+26 during execution

Flying Crane Sword Technique (Beginner), Special Feature: Strength +20, Speed ​​+20 during execution.

[Power Realm Trait: Attack and Defense +20]

This attribute caused Xu Hao to pause slightly in surprise.

Aside from the fact that their names differed by only one character, he almost thought it was because of Qin Feixue's attributes.

Both of them share the surname Qin and belong to the same generation.

Could it be that both of them came from the Qin family?

No wonder Qin Feilin was able to do business exchanging merit points.

This is making money while lying down!

"Senior Brother Qin!" Xu Hao walked into the hall, faced Qin Feilin, and bowed respectfully. "I am Xu Hao, here to exchange for 1,200 merit points!"

"So it's Junior Brother Xu!" Seeing that Xu Hao was so polite, Qin Feilin didn't stay seated any longer. Instead, he stood up to return the greeting and gestured for him to enter.

Xu Hao sat down as instructed.

After pouring tea for the two men, the burly man took his leave.

After Xu Hao took a sip of fragrant tea, Qin Feilin finally asked, "Brother Xu, are you aware of my exchange rate?"

"Of course!" Xu Hao nodded, then took out 10,800 taels of silver notes from his pocket and placed them on the tea table.

"Brother Xu is quite straightforward!" Qin Feilin smiled slightly, immediately took out a series of merit plaques from the side, and pushed them in front of Xu Hao. "These are 1,200 merit plaques. Please count them."

Xu Hao's gaze swept over.

There was a stack of coins with a face value of ten, and there were also coins with a face value of one hundred.

There are a total of 1,200.

no more, no less.

Moreover, it doesn't look fake, because its material is exactly the same as the material of the ten-denomination medal he received when he registered.

Xu Hao put away the medal.

"Junior Brother Xu, if you need to exchange in the future, you can still come to me. The price is fair and honest!" Qin Feilin said with a smile when he saw Xu Hao get up.

"Okay!" Xu Hao nodded.

If he has any money left, he is naturally generous.

But he doesn't have much money on him right now.

Once he learns the Jinli Realm technique, he will go out to see if he can do any missions and kill red-named players.

As Xu Hao emerged from courtyard number 138, he immediately felt numerous gazes upon him.

After all, those who could enter the backyard to trade with Qin Feilin were all people with thousands of merits.

A newcomer with a large sum of money is seen as a highly desirable catch by everyone.

However, due to the rules of the Five Animals Sect, no one made a move to snatch it, but they firmly remembered Xu Hao's face, waiting for an opportunity!

Xu Hao naturally noticed the situation around him, but he ignored it.

He even hoped that the people around him would intervene so that he could legitimately seize the medal.

However, even after leaving the residential area, no one intervened.

After sighing inwardly, Xu Hao stopped worrying and headed directly to the Kung Fu Hall of Crane Peak according to the map in the introductory manual.

This is a magnificent building built on the mountainside of Hefeng.

It occupies a vast area and is heavily guarded on all sides.

As soon as Xu Hao stepped into the area of ​​the Cultivation Hall, he felt the gazes of several powerful figures sweep over him.

Xu Hao took a deep breath and stepped into the training hall.

The interior is like a small marketplace.

There were people moving around.

Especially today, being the first day of the festival, there were quite a few more people walking around.

Most, no, almost all of the people were dressed very elegantly, and none of them wore the long robes unique to Crane Peak of the Five Animals Sect.

After all, Crane Peak's robes also require merit points to purchase.

Xu Hao glanced around and immediately found an empty window, then went straight up to it.

"I am Xu Hao, a newly arrived outer disciple, here to exchange for cultivation techniques!"

At the window, a middle-aged man lazily opened his eyes. He glanced at Xu Hao and asked directly, "New disciple, have you read the manual? What cultivation technique do you want to exchange for?"

"The Azure Crane Force and the Flying Crane Sword Technique!" Xu Hao stated his purpose.

The outer disciples of Crane Peak mainly cultivate Lady Bai's Azure Crane Strength, and the Flying Crane Sword Technique is a sword technique of the Strength Realm, which can effectively condense Azure Crane Strength.

It's like the Fierce Tiger Fist.

However, the Flying Crane Sword Technique is of a higher grade.

Most disciples of Crane Peak choose these two cultivation methods because they value stability and simplicity.

Xu Hao was no exception.

He didn't want any other twists and turns; he just wanted to smoothly enter the realm of internal strength.

"The Azure Crane Strength costs nine hundred merit medals, and the Flying Crane Sword Technique costs two hundred merit points!" The middle-aged man didn't waste any words and directly quoted the price.

"This is 1,100 merit points!" Xu Hao immediately took out the merit plaque that he hadn't even warmed up yet and respectfully handed it to the table.

"Wait!" The middle-aged man glanced at the medals and then immediately turned and went inside the window.
