Transmigration with Cheat Codes Chapter 11.1: [Partial Enlightenment]

Meng Jintang wiped her long sword expressionlessly.

During the beginner stage, humanoid monsters were not easy to encounter near the sect's home base.

If it hadn't been for the opponent launching a surprise attack, Meng Jintang would have wanted to capture the person and inquire if they had encountered any other living beings in the mountains during that period.

Until the very last moment of his life, the traitor from the Dian Cang Sect remained astonished. He couldn't comprehend why he had encountered a highly skilled young girl in the deep mountains, and more importantly, how she had managed to detect his hidden presence in the trees.

In response to this, Meng Jintang, the leader of the Hanshan Sect, could only express regret. She explained that it had little to do with personal observation skills or martial arts experience in the real world, but rather, it was all due to the game's mechanics and settings.

To avoid creating overly fantastical scenes, when there were outsiders present, players could not directly collect materials into their personal inventory.

Instead, they needed to perform actions like "placing it in their arms," "putting it in their sleeves," or "storing it in their waist pouch" as an intermediate step to collect the materials.

At the moment Meng Jintang realized that her actions suddenly malfunctioned, she became aware that there were people around secretly spying on her.

After vanquishing the traitor from the Dian Cang Sect, the system presented Meng Jintang with the expected experience points, but it also informed her that she had obtained the traitor's rectangular bag that he carried with him.

In a certain spot on the humanoid monster's corpse, a faint white light appeared, visible only to the player. With a flick of her long sword, Meng Jintang acquired the spoils of war into her hands.

The rectangular bag was a pouch used to carry things, in the game world, it was a common item similar to a bundle.

However, for players, they had the option to merge the pouch into their personal inventory, which allowed them to expand the number of slots in their inventory. This way, it served as a convenient way for players to increase their carrying capacity and manage their items more efficiently.

The quality of the pouch in the hands of the traitor from the Dian Cang Sect was quite ordinary, just a white-grade equipment, and the expansion it brought was also limited.

Meng Jintang originally had fifteen inventory slots, but after merging, her inventory slots increased to twenty-five, a number that seemed to contain a hint of mockery.

As for the original contents inside the pouch, they were also uniformly merged into the player's personal inventory.

As an enemy, the opponent's skills were very unremarkable, and the dropped items were naturally mundane: a flint, a box of matches, a clay bottle for salt, a Dian Cang Sect disciple's side sword, sixteen taels of silver, thirty-seven copper coins, half a bottle of Golden Healing Powder, and a fragment of sheepskin parchment.

Meng Jintang hadn't planned to formally enter the martial world yet, and to avoid getting into trouble, she decided to sell the swords from other sects directly to the system shop for money.

As for the rest of the items, everything seemed ordinary, except for the sheepskin parchment. When she attempted to identify it, the result showed nothing but an undecipherable question mark.

​​Since there was a mysterious item in her possession, to avoid any information leaks, she decided not to carry the enemy's belongings to the Six Fans Sect to exchange for money.

[System: Engaging in combat with a martial artist, successfully comprehending the "Seven Strikes of Dian Cang (Incomplete)", gaining 50 experience points.

Note: Due to the low cultivation level of the observed target and their sword technique being acquired through illicit means, the comprehension of the content is limited.]

[System: Enlightenment level activated.]

Meng Jintang said, "Oh, I see."

The Enlightenment Level represented the player's overall proficiency and skill level. Players with a higher Enlightenment Level could spend energy to repair damaged pages of secret manuals.

After all, in martial arts novels, there were instances of experts creating martial arts techniques by observing flowers, plants, trees, and small animals.

While players might not have reached the level of legendary martial arts masters, having the game system as a tool prevented them from performing too poorly.

The previous "Hanshan Sword Art" partial manuscript was considered a prop with a quest-like nature. Therefore, it was only after completing the battle just now that the Enlightenment Level feature was fully unlocked.

In the character panel, the [Enlightenment Level] appeared below [Internal Energy], followed by the value "300." In the parentheses after the value, there was a line that read "Preliminarily possessing a certain level of martial arts judgment ability," providing a detailed explanation.

Opening the [Learned Martial Arts] interface, at the bottom, there was indeed a new feature called [Partial Enlightenment].

Upon opening the new feature, the list displayed two martial arts techniques: "Hanshan Sword Art" and "Seven Strikes of Dian Cang."

However, "Hanshan Sword Art" appeared in a non-operational gray state, while behind "Seven Strikes of Dian Cang," there was a line stating, "The current Enlightenment Level is only slightly higher than the minimum value required for repair (290), and there is a high risk of failure during the repair process."

Meng Jintang didn't feel disappointed. She currently had too many martial arts techniques to practice, even if she had obtained the complete "Seven Strikes of Dian Cang," she wouldn't have enough time to improve her proficiency in it for the time being.

In "Martial Arts Ascension," even if players didn't unlock the feature through various quests in the early stages, the system would find opportunities to activate this feature after reaching level fifteen.

On the forum, there was a post summarizing a leveling route that involved obtaining advanced secret manuals through comprehending martial arts techniques.

The key to this method lay in the aptitude value.

Even without conducting comparative experiments or looking into data files, one could understand from the literal meaning of the system prompts that if the aptitude value was low, it wouldn't be possible to "comprehend" new martial arts techniques successfully.

Some players had attempted to increase their attributes through acquiring rare treasures and adjusting critical parameters in the configuration files, forcefully pushing their aptitude to its limits.

Shortly after leaving the beginner stage, they went to the Tianhua Sect, kept vigil day and night for the Tianhua Sect Leader, and ultimately succeeded in comprehending the max-level "Tianhua Heart Scripture" from the opponent's battle footage, allowing them to become invincible in the martial world.

After ten days.

In the depths of the Han Mountain, a breeze carrying fine rain blew through. The rain quickly stopped, but the water droplets that had condensed on the leaves continued to drip down.

Meng Jintang bent down and plucked a plant of gentian, casually throwing it into the backpack behind her—players' backpacks had no weight limit, but they had a limited number of slots, and different types of items had to be stored separately.

To facilitate herb gathering, she had purchased a backpack from the system shop that was originally meant for cosmetic appearance and wore it on her back.

The gathered herbs could be stored in the Revitalizing Room's built-in storage slot or placed in the sect's warehouse. However, due to the low level of the sect, the warehouse currently had only one hundred slots.

As for a personal storage space... Sect Leader Meng was busy with various tasks and martial arts training. Besides herself, there was not a single living soul in the Hanshan Sect.

She decided to deal with the personal storage later when she had time. Moreover, if the players on the forum weren't deceiving her, after reaching level fifteen, she would receive a gift package for the sect's building.

With the backpack already filled, Meng Jintang washed away the herbal juice and dirt from her hands in the stream. She then utilized her qinggong techniques, lightly stepping on the branches of the trees, and swiftly flew back to the sect's headquarters.

…

In the Hanshan Sect's Revitalizing Room, Meng Jintang skillfully selected the herbs used to concoct the detoxification potion. She added them one by one into the furnace and waited for the finished product to take shape.

—She originally intended to meditate and cultivate her internal energy while waiting.

However, perhaps due to insufficient proficiency in relevant skills or maybe the game deliberately added unmistakable sound effects to remind players to stay focused.

The process of refining the medicine often came with loud and distracting noises like boom and crackling, making it unsuitable for serene cultivation.
