  When Cai Yan said this, Liu Bian suddenly received a system prompt: Congratulations on completing the temporary task, and the reward is as follows: increase martial arts by one small level, 500 merit points, 10 faith points, and Shenbing fish intestine dagger.

  Liu Bian was overjoyed, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. At the same time, he took a look at the progress of the branch task "Become the Crown Prince", which should be around 20% complete according to his guess.

  But when he looked again, he found that the branch task had already been completed by 50%, which made Liu Bian somewhat puzzled. He originally thought that under the branch task, there would be ten temporary tasks, and each completion would accumulate 10% progress.

  But the current situation is beyond his expectation, after completing the second temporary task, the progress of the branch task suddenly reached 50%, it seems that there are not ten temporary tasks under the branch task, and each temporary task does not have the same weight in the branch task.

  As for the main task, the completion rate has also reached 5% now. It seems that it is indeed the case that there are ten branch tasks, each accounting for 10% of the main task, so the completion ratio of the branch tasks is also reflected in the main task.

  Liu Bian didn't rush to receive the task reward, but instead patiently accompanied Cai Wenji and chatted for a long time about poetry, articles, and other literary works. They even discussed famous Han Dynasty writers' representative works, which Liu Bian had studied hard on, not only memorizing them but also critiquing and evaluating them. When talking to Cai Yun, he was able to discuss these literary works with ease, making Cai Yun feel like she had found a kindred spirit.

  Later, Cai Yong left Liu Bian to have lunch at home. Liu Bian did not decline, knowing that this was the time to bond with the Cai family, as he needed not only Cai Yong's support but also planned to take Cai Wenji for himself, so necessary emotional exchange was indispensable.

  Until he returned to the Shi Manor, Liu Bian excused himself to rest and closed his door. He then began to receive his reward, and his martial arts level immediately rose to F6, as he had already reached F5 in the previous month, saving him ten days of training this time.

  After adding 500 merits, I now have a total of 1,200 points. My faith has also increased by 10 points and is now over 150 points. This is already considered a very substantial wealth. At the very least, it can be exchanged for two precious items or powerful martial skills.

  What was finally obtained was the divine sword fish intestine dagger, which is said to be the one used by Jing Ke when he assassinated the King of Qin. It is about three inches long and extremely short, wrapped in a yellow scabbard with straps that can be tied around the calf or arm.

  Liu Bian took out the fish intestine dagger and found that its surface was bright like a clear spring, not dazzling to the eye, nor did it have an exposed sharp edge. However, when he tried it, he surprisingly cut his usual five-foot green-edged long sword into fragments like mud, and indeed, as legend had it, could sever hair with a mere blow, and lightly toss it onto the ground, silently entering the earth up to its hilt. Even gold bars could be easily sliced into small pieces.

  "It's great, with this divine sword fish intestine dagger, whether it's for self-defense or assassination, it's unbeatable. From now on, it will be even more convenient for me to do things. By the way, with so many merits and beliefs, I can exchange them for some powerful martial arts. Let's see what's available."

  Liu Bian looked at the first category of kung fu and found that the internal skills that could be exchanged included Small Wu Xiang Gong, Jiu Yang Shen Gong, Jiu Yin Shen Gong, Long Xiang Ban Ruo Gong, Yi Jin Jing, Chunyang Tongzi Gong, Changsheng Jue, etc. However, they could only exchange for one layer of kung fu, and most of these internal skills had nine layers or even more than ten layers of heart methods.

  There are also many light skills that make Liu's eyes shine, such as One Reed to Cross the River, Eight Steps to Catch Cicadas, Lingbo Micro-Step, Qiankun Da Nuoyi, Wuying Shenfa, Liuxu Fengpiao Shenfa, Bagua Step Method, Taiji Step Method, Zongyun Ti, and Xiangyang You, etc., but they are also divided into many levels, and you need to exchange multiple times to master them completely.

  In external skills, there are even more varieties. Liu Bian is familiar with the likes of Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, Dog Beating Stick Method, Fallen Petal Divine Sword, Heavenly Flight Immortal, North Ming Divine Skill, Six Pulse Divine Sword, Mount Tian's Six Yang Palm, Forgetting Emotions Heavenly Book, Five Peaks Swordsmanship, Dugu Nine Swords and other formidable skills. Even the techniques of eighteen types of weapons are included, making Liu Bian's eyes dazzled.

  These kung fu moves are good, but for Liu Bian's current situation, they are fundamentally unlearnable. Before he achieves a small success in his Pure Yang Child Fist, he is unable to learn any other kung fu methods. In the end, he could only covet them with his eyes and imagine them in his heart, having no choice but to give up on these kung fu moves.

  As for the equipment, Liu Bian didn't bother to look at it because after obtaining the Heavenly Silkworm Robe and Divine Fish Intestine Sword, he had lost interest in other weapons and armor. So he directly flipped to the Miscellaneous Items category.

  Liu Bian saw some things, such as Wu Du San, Duan Chang Hua, He Ding Hong, Pi Huo Jiang, Mi Hun Yao, Bai Ri Zui, Qian Li Xiang, Bao Yu Li Hua Zhen, Bei Nu, Xiu Jian, Xue Si Wang, Bi Huo Zhu, Ding Feng Zhu, Bi Shui Zhu, Chu Wu Jie Zhi, Da Huan Dan, Xiao Huan Dan, Hei Yu Duan Xu Ke, Wan Du Dan, Hui Chun Dan and so on. Each one was something Liu Bian really wanted to get, but with his current family background, he could only exchange for one or two things at most.

  Anyway, for the time being, there's no need for anything else, so I might as well choose two strange items. But what to choose is a problem - poison or life-saving medicine, mechanical beast or storage ring? He couldn't make up his mind for the time being.

  At this moment, Liu Bian suddenly noticed that there was a line of small words below: "To meet the conditions for exchanging innate divine abilities, you only need to spend 1,000 merits and 100 beliefs to get a random innate divine ability. Do you want to exchange it?"

  Liu Bian's heart moved, exchanging for a mysterious object was just some external objects, and once used, it would be gone forever. If he exchanged for an innate divine ability, that would be his own innate ability forever, which was still worth considering.

  After some thought, Liu Bian decided to spend 1,000 merit points and 100 faith points to exchange for the Innate Divine Ability skill. As soon as he pressed the "yes" button, he was left with only over 200 merit points and over 50 faith points, becoming a poor man once again.

  "Exchanging for innate abilities, having a photographic memory, not only possessing rapid memorization capabilities but also possessing super strong identification and analytical capabilities."

  Liu Bian exchanged it for the innate ability to memorize everything at a glance, although he felt that it was not worth those 1,000 merits plus 100 faiths. However, this ability was also quite good, at least allowing him to better win Cai Yong's support in his future studies, and similarly win the support of more court officials.

  It is by
