Chapter 36: Food? Magical Artifact?

At this time, Lin Mo already had enough contribution points in his hands, and he was ready to go to the Mission Hall to exchange for some things.

Among Disciples, contribution points could also be transferred to each other.

Lin Mo stepped into the Mission Hall with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the dazzling light screens of Magical Artifacts.

Seeing the Elder jade token at his waist, the on-duty Disciple hurried forward with a flattering smile: "Is the Elder looking to exchange for a Magical Artifact? The newly arrived Spiritual Artifacts…"

"I'll look myself." Lin Mo waved his hand to interrupt, his fingertips gliding across the light screen.

"Frost Ring, wearing it can make snow fall within three zhang of your body, a must-have for beating the summer heat, five contribution points." Lin Mo sneered, "I might as well go find Senior Sister Leng Hanyue for Dual Cultivation, which can both cool me down and raise my cultivation."

The light screen turned the page, and the projection of a completely crimson longsword appeared: "Blazing Sun Sword, refined by harvesting the essence of earth fire, can stimulate three inches of sword qi when slashing…"

"Flashy and impractical." Lin Mo flicked his finger to shatter the projection, "A Fireball Technique can shoot three chi away, what is the use of this piece of junk?"

Sweat appeared on the on-duty Disciple's forehead, and they hurriedly brought out a trump-card treasure: "How do you like this Azure Nether Umbrella, Elder? Opening it can block a full-force blow from a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator…"

After looking around, Lin Mo was not satisfied with any of these things.

Lin Mo walked toward the largest stall in the Mission Hall with an unsatisfied expression.

The stalls Lin Mo had just visited were set up by Disciples themselves to earn contribution points, whereas the current stall belonged directly to the Sect.

The prices were relatively higher, but the items were also better.

Lin Mo asked modestly: "Senior Sister, I want to buy a Magical Artifact, and I wonder if you have any suitable recommendations."

The woman guarding the stall smiled sweetly at Lin Mo: "Hello, Junior Brother. My name is Chen Bing. I wonder what kind of Magical Artifact you want to buy and what your budget is in contribution points."

"Two thousand contribution points."

Chen Bing wore a moon-white magic robe, her apricot-shaped eyes smiling with two shallow dimples appearing, her dark hair loosely coiled with a jade hairpin, and her fair hand gently brushed across the Magical Artifact light screen on the stall, half of her white wrist slipping from her cuff. Although she was not heavily decorated with makeup, a lively sweetness came naturally between her brows and eyes.

Chen Bing skillfully introduced the Magical Artifacts to Lin Mo: "Junior Brother, you have quite a few choices. Let me introduce them to you one by one, from cheapest to most expensive."

"Bailian Heart-Protecting Mirror, can withstand a full-force blow from a Foundation Establishment Late Stage expert, and only costs 500 contribution points."

Lin Mo played with the heart-protecting mirror. The thing in front of him was indeed a Sharp Weapon for saving one's life. Originally, he only wanted to buy an offensive Magical Artifact, but now he was struggling with whether he should buy a heart-protecting mirror first.

At this time, a soft, glutinous voice sounded behind Lin Mo. The voice was very small, but could be heard clearly: "Junior Brother, actually you don't need to buy a heart-protecting mirror. The sesame flatbreads in the cafeteria have the exact same effect."

Lin Mo turned his head to look, feeling both surprised and amazed.

A crisp sound of bells came from behind, and a petite figure, around sixteen or seventeen years old, came into view.

She wore two dark and shiny coiled twin tails, the ends tied with red ropes and gilded bells that tinkled as she tilted her head. Her round face looked like a freshly steamed glutinous rice dumpling, and her apricot eyes were so big they almost occupied half her face, blinking her large eyes and looking at Lin Mo with a naive expression.

Most eye-catching of all was her well-defined muscles, which were completely disproportionate to her sweet appearance.

The goose-yellow short martial attire simply could not wrap around her plump biceps, and the collar revealed a deeply sunken collarbone groove and well-defined trapezius muscles. Her waist was bound with a tiger-patterned belt, and below it were surprisingly two sturdy thighs wearing lace leg rings, with her quadriceps bulging beneath the fabric with every step she took.

Lin Mo's eyes could no longer leave the other person. What a pretty muscular loli, her bulging biceps were simply too cute.

Chen Bing puffed out her mouth indignantly and said: "You Disciples of Bailian Peak are coming to make trouble again."

Lin Mo smiled and greeted: "Senior Sister, how should I address you?"

The other person said in a soft and timid voice, with fearful eyes: "My name is Xiong Xiaotang. You guys continue; I was just making a suggestion, hoping I didn't disturb you."

Chen Bing glared at her. She clearly had no favorable impression of someone who came to ruin her business.

She continued introducing to Lin Mo: "This is the Earth-Shaking Hammer, which can shake protective light screens and comes with Divine Sense attacks."

Lin Mo played with the hammer for a moment and nodded. This was indeed a good thing, but it was too bulky and not suitable for him.

Xiong Xiaotang said in a small voice: "The fried dough sticks in the cafeteria have about the same effect."

Lin Mo pretended not to hear. Even if beaten to death, he would never believe that things from the cafeteria could be used as Magical Artifacts.

However, he was still not very satisfied with the Earth-Shaking Hammer, and asked again: "Senior Sister Chen? Does our Sect have any little gadgets that can be used to backstab people?"

Chen Bing said with a serious face: "Junior Brother Lin, do you know that our Jade Maiden Immortal Sect is an upright and honorable Sect, and one of the Five Immortal Sects?"

Lin Mo nodded: "So, there are no such Magical Artifacts in the Sect, right?"

"Therefore, this question must be asked quietly."

Lin Mo asked again.

Chen Bing took out another Magical Artifact and introduced: "These are Soul-Shattering Nails. Grab a handful and throw them at the opponent to catch them off guard, and they have the miraculous effect of destroying the opponent's protective golden light."

Lin Mo's eyes lit up. Soul-Shattering Nails. They actually suited him quite well.

Xiong Xiaotang said softly and glutinously again: "The white rice in the cafeteria is about the same, and the millet rice is even more powerful than this."

Chen Bing couldn't stand Xiong Xiaotang cutting in from behind anymore. She walked in front of Xiong Xiaotang, towering a full head taller than the other girl.

Looking down at her, she couldn't help saying: "Senior Sister Xiong, I know you are a Disciple of Bailian Peak, but you can't harm people like this either. Just think about it, is it proper to fight magical battles with fried dough sticks?"

"I know that the food from Bailian Peak is sturdy, durable, cheap, can double as a weapon and food, and has various functions. Aren't these just its advantages?"

The corners of Lin Mo's twitching mouth tightened. Weren't these advantages already enough? He slowly raised his hand and said: "Um, I am a male Cultivator, so using a fried dough stick to fight doesn't seem to be a problem."

Chen Bing had a look as if something was stuck in her throat. She sighed and said: "Fine, Junior Brother, why don't you go take a look around Bailian Peak with Senior Sister Xiong."

Xiong Xiaotang's eyes lit up. She grabbed Lin Mo's hand and left, not forgetting to say goodbye to Chen Bing: "Junior Sister, if Junior Brother doesn't fancy Bailian Peak's Magical Artifacts, uh, food, I'll send him back to you in a bit."

Lin Mo discovered that Xiong Xiaotang's strength was terrifyingly great. As a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, if he didn't mobilize his spiritual power, he simply couldn't break free from her.

Lin Mo asked in confusion: "Senior Sister, why can the food of Bailian Peak be used as a Magical Artifact?"

The difference between Artifact Refining and cooking was quite large, something he couldn't figure out no matter how hard he tried.

Xiong Xiaotang replied: "Just think about it, Junior Brother. The most important thing in Artifact Refining is controlling fire, and the most important thing in cooking is also controlling fire. These two share an exquisite connection. Isn't it only natural that Qi Refining and cooking are combined together?"
