In this situation, the subsequent “Divine Weapons and Treasures Register,” “Treasure Weapons Register,” “Sharp Weapons Register,” “Hundred Refined Instruments Register,” and “Ordinary Weapons Register” were barely glanced at by Eric Bennett. It was only at the end, when he heard the Da Jiang Gang’s Olivia Parker say in confusion and with a grave tone, “I’ve never heard that the Langya Ruan family’s ‘Duren Zither’ was lost, so why isn’t there a ‘missing’ character next to it in the ‘Divine Weapons and Treasures Register’?”

She seemed somewhat inclined to believe this inexplicable exchange register.

Emily Carter nodded: “Our Sword-Washing Pavilion’s ‘Zhanwo Sword’ does have the ‘missing’ character written next to it, perhaps…”

She didn’t finish, but everyone had similar thoughts—perhaps the Ruan family’s clan-protecting divine weapon had already been lost, but they kept it secret.

The Langya Ruan family, one of the nine great clans of the Jin Dynasty.

The light screen continued to flip, turning from silvery white to verdant green, and the exchange registers for immortal pills, miraculous medicines, heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and various miscellaneous items appeared.

Here, Eric Bennett saw the “Great Luo Golden Pill” that could bring the dead back to life (price: three hundred thousand merit points), as well as ordinary “Qi-Boosting Pills” and silver (one merit point could be exchanged for fifty taels, but silver could not be exchanged for merit points).

At this moment, the light screen vanished, indicating that the list of exchangeable items had come to an end. Eric Bennett felt a bit disappointed—wasn’t everything supposed to be exchangeable? Where’s the Gundam? The Super Saiyan bloodline? The Yang God? The Perfected Saint Body? The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?

“Looks like this is a reincarnation world tailored to fit the xianxia and martial arts setting…” Eric Bennett quietly let out a breath.

“If we want to leave the reincarnation world, what should we do?” Suddenly, Jason Bolton asked.

This question immediately drew everyone’s attention. Although the things listed by the “Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation” were extremely tempting, the dangers must be just as great. No one was too willing to risk their lives for them. After all, Jason Bolton, Emily Carter, Lucas, and Olivia Parker—unlike Eric Bennett—were all being groomed as future pillars in their respective sects, with hopes of one day learning their sect’s ultimate techniques.

As for Eric Bennett himself, he had just completed the “Hundred-Day Foundation Building,” knew a bit of Arhat Fist, and his martial arts were weak—he really didn’t want to take risks right now.

“Accumulate three hundred thousand merit points and exchange for the ‘Bian Symbol,’ and you can leave the cycle of reincarnation.” The “Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation” spoke in the same cold tone. “Sources of merit: mission rewards and item exchanges. If the item is not missing from the register, the price is only thirty to fifty percent; if it is a missing item, the price will be increased accordingly based on the situation.”

“Hmph, so if I steal the middle volume of the ‘Heavenly Emperor Jade Book’ and exchange it, I can get the ‘Bian Symbol’?” Lucas shouted angrily, “So this is what you Shaolin people are after!”

“It can be exchanged.” The “Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation”’s voice was utterly unperturbed. “Anyone who attempts to reveal the existence of the reincarnation world to outsiders will be erased; anyone who kills a companion or someone from the same faction will have twice the amount of merit points awarded for the current main mission deducted; if merit is insufficient, they will be erased; anyone who exchanges secret manuals and trades them with each other will be erased—manuals obtained personally in the mission world are not included…”

He solemnly announced the rules in a grand and imposing voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the light and shadows shifted, and Eric Bennett and the others were plunged into complete darkness. When the light ahead reappeared, Eric Bennett realized he had gone from the white jade plaza to a passageway surrounded on all sides by stone walls.

“The lord of the ‘Hidden Emperor Fortress,’ in order to seize the throne, invented the ‘Heart-Snatching Pill’ and secretly controlled the leaders of various sects. The great hero Ma Lianghan accidentally uncovered this conspiracy and thus invited three other top experts to storm the ‘Hidden Emperor Fortress’ together. However, due to a moment’s carelessness, they were trapped inside by mechanisms.”

“Main mission: within three hours, kill the lord of the ‘Hidden Emperor Fortress.’ Each participant who completes the mission will be rewarded with fifty merit points. If the mission fails, all will be erased!”

“Side mission: rescue the four top experts trapped in the ‘Hidden Emperor Fortress.’ For each person rescued, every participant will be rewarded with ten merit points. Failure of the side mission carries no penalty.”

Dots of greenish ghostly fire burned lines of text onto the stone floor. After a few breaths, the ghostly fire extinguished, and everything returned to normal.

“Hmph, this is definitely a Shaolin conspiracy!” Lucas’s face was twisted with anger. “I absolutely won’t do this ridiculous mission! What are you people really after?”

He glared at Eric Bennett, unable to understand how there could actually be a mission!

Eric Bennett spread his hands and said nothing, thinking to himself, I can’t possibly tell you infinite flow stories like I did to fool my little junior brother, can I?

At this moment, Emily Carter drew her right hand, and her long sword left its sheath with a sound like a dragon’s cry, its light as clear as autumn water.

She looked at everyone, her expression solemn, and said, “I think it’s best for us to complete the mission. Anyone who can move us around at will like this must at least be a land immortal of the Dharma Body level. If they wanted to kill us, it would be very easy. So, let’s just follow his instructions and see what happens.”

As she spoke the last half of the sentence, she lifted her chin slightly again.

“Junior Sister Carter makes sense.” Jason Bolton nodded in agreement.

Olivia Parker thought for a moment, then also drew a water-splitting dagger that shimmered with green light: “Things have come to this, we can’t just sit and wait for death. According to the ‘Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation,’ after completing a mission, we can return for a period of time. We can think of another way then. For now, let’s finish the mission first!”
