The Merit Monument was restored to its original state, becoming a topaz monument with a lotus base. However, the scary numerical values on the monument had already been hidden by Ye Zan before.
Seeing that the stele had grown bigger, Lin Mumu circled around the stele and Xiao Baxia, but looked a little disappointed and said, "This stele looks so earthy."
The merit stele itself has almost no decorative patterns. Without the display of merit values, it is just a long stone strip that is not very finely polished. Moreover, although the material of the Merit Monument seems to have some characteristics of jade, the overall material is earthy and earthy, which is very inconspicuous.
And, more importantly, because the power of this merit tablet itself mainly relies on the recorded merits. Therefore, the mana fluctuations on the Merit Monument are also very weak, even slightly inferior to ordinary magic weapons.
There is no high-end and classy appearance, and there is no shocking mana fluctuation. Naturally, it is no wonder that Lin Mumu has such evaluation.
"No matter what, this is a kind gift from Mr. Tower. Don't talk nonsense." Ye Zan suppressed the amusement in his heart and said to Lin Mumu seriously.
"Oh." Lin Mumu responded.
At this time, suddenly from under the lotus base, Xiaobaxia's "arrogant" cry came out, showing a very aggrieved mood. It turns out that although Xiao Baxia has grown up a bit, the merit monument is still much larger than Xiao Baxia when it is restored to its original state, and it directly covers Xiao Baxia under the lotus base.
"Haha, the tortoise is carrying a stone tablet. Why can't he just see the stone tablet? Where is the tortoise?" Lin Mumu said with a laugh.
However, as soon as Lin Mumu finished speaking, he saw a stream of water suddenly spurting out from under the lotus base, instantly spraying Lin Mumu into a drowned rat.
"Stop teasing it." Ye Zan shook his head helplessly, pinched a magic formula in his hand, and reduced the merit monument to a suitable proportion, and then exposed the little bully.
Xiaoba emerged from under the lotus pedestal. He first looked at Ye Zan with aggrieved eyes, then turned his head and bared his teeth, about to pounce towards Lin Mumu. However, Ye Zan just snorted coldly, and the little bully immediately shrank his neck and rubbed his head towards Ye Zan with a flattering expression.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, I haven't thanked you for saving me again. However, the magic weapon that you wanted to leave behind... I'm really ashamed of myself. Please forgive me." Cheng Daqi said. Shi walked over and said to Ye Zan with a look of shame on his face.
Ever since he was rescued by Ye Zan, Cheng Daqi has never had the chance to thank Ye Zan face to face until now. However, Cheng Daqi still thought that Ye Zan wanted to keep that magic weapon on purpose, so the "thank you" was quite embarrassing. Moreover, it was hard for him to say anything about the behavior of his fellow disciples, and there was no reason for him to ask others to help him repay the debt he owed.
"You are too worried, fellow Daoist. I didn't say which magic weapon to keep. Everyone chooses the magic weapon based on their ability. Whoever picks it belongs to whomever. It's a fair thing. No one can say anything because of this." Ye Zan smiled. Said to Cheng Daqi.
However, Ye Zan's words sounded more like words of comfort to Cheng Daqi. So, he took out the magic weapon he chose and said to Ye Zan: "Fellow Daoist Ye, the magic weapon I chose seems to be of good quality. If you don't dislike it..."
However, before Cheng Daqi could finish speaking, Ye Zan shook his head repeatedly and said helplessly: "What are you doing, fellow Taoist Cheng? Well, let me explain it clearly. The reason why I didn't let fellow Taoist choose that magic weapon." , It’s not that I want to leave it to anyone selfishly, it’s just because I feel that there is something wrong with that magic weapon.”
When Cheng Daqi and Ye Zan were talking, the other Jindan Grandmasters of Xingchen Sect were also paying close attention to the content of their conversation. Especially Senior Brother Hong, who thought he had taken advantage, was even more afraid that Cheng Daqi would sell him out.
When they heard Cheng Daqi actually said that he would give the magic weapon he chose to Ye Zan, several masters from Xingchen Sect couldn't help but cursed him in their hearts as a "fool". But then, they heard Ye Zan say that the reason for keeping the magic weapon was that he suspected that there was something wrong with it.
Haha, are you kidding? Such an obvious top-grade magic weapon, no matter from every aspect, it is definitely top-grade among top-grades. How could there be any problem!
Senior Brother Hong didn't believe this reason at first. He had actually held the magic weapon in his hand, and had even performed a preliminary refinement, and found no problems at all. Others, including Ye Zan's companions, felt that Ye Zan was just looking for a way out for himself.
Of course Cheng Daqi didn't believe it either. He only thought that Ye Zan said that just to reassure himself. Suddenly his face was full of emotion and he said: "Fellow Daoist Ye, I can't repay you for your kindness. I can only If you need it in the future, I will never refuse!”
Ye Zan couldn't help but smile helplessly. Many things in this world are like this. No one believes you when you tell the truth. He waved his hand, glanced at the Grandmaster Hong from the Xingchen Sect, and said to Cheng Daqi, "Fellow Daoist Cheng, maybe you have to wait until someday, when your Senior Brother Hong uses that magic weapon to fight the enemy, and then you will know whether what I said is true or false."
The grandmaster surnamed Hong also heard what Ye Zan said, but he curled his lips in disdain, obviously disapproving of what Ye Zan said. He even held the jade bracelet in his hand and activated it to release the light of the top-grade magic weapon, as if to demonstrate to Ye Zan.
Ye Zan looked a little funny and thought to himself: When you really use this magic weapon one day, you will know how stupid you are now.
After Cheng Daqi returned to the Xingchen Sect, several of Ye Zan's companions also came forward, raised their hands to Ye Zan and said: "Fellow Daoist Ye, this time I really want to congratulate you, Yuqing Sect. The birth of ten more Yuan Ying ancestors is a great joy for the Jade Qing Sect. "
You know, for ordinary sects, if a person is promoted to the Nascent Soul realm, it is a happy event worthy of great celebration. Just like before, after Wu Changsheng, the headmaster of Yuqing Sect, was promoted to the Nascent Soul realm, he sent out invitations to his colleagues to celebrate the event. But this time, the Yuqing Sect suddenly had ten Yuanying Ancestors appear. This was simply a grand event that was no less impressive than Mo Ru's promotion to the Yuanshen Realm.
"Fellow Taoists, it's too early to say this now. After all, not everyone will be willing to join our Jade Qing Sect." Ye Zan waved his hand quickly.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Ye, what you said is so false. You can't help laughing in your heart, but you still put on this look. Could it be that you are afraid that I won't be able to eat and drink when the time comes." Zhang Qian said jokingly.
"That's right, I don't think there will be any accidents in this matter. Unless they don't want to leave this world anymore and don't want to go further in the realm, how can they refuse." Hou Qingyun said with certainty from the side.
Several other people also agreed one after another, so much so that Ye Zan couldn't resist.
"Okay, okay, it's indeed my fault. Invitations will be sent to all of you fellow Taoists by then." Ye Zan had no choice but to say.
But the scene of Ye Zan and others, in the eyes of everyone on the Star Sect side, made several Grandmasters of the Star Sect feel a little sour in their hearts. Why? Everyone has come all the way, how come he, the Yuqing Sect, can have such a harvest!
Although Star Sect is not a top sect, it is still a top sect among first-class sects. Of course, there are more than ten Nascent Soul Ancestors in the sect. But the problem is that the Yuqing Sect just picked up ten Yuanying ancestors for nothing, and every Yuanying ancestor of the Xingchen Sect has a lot of resources to support them.
Moreover, even if the Xingchen Sect has a great cause, every Yuanying ancestor is very valuable. Because of this, when we came to explore the North Pole Immortal Palace this time, the Xingchen Sect sent the Golden Pill Grandmaster over, just because they were afraid that the Yuan Ying ancestor would be trapped in it.
"Hey, what's so great about having a few more Nascent Soul Realm people? For a sect, it still depends on whether there is a Taoist Lord in charge." A grandmaster of the Star Sect said with a sour tone.
Hearing this, Zhang Qian from Ye Zan's side turned around, looked at Xingchen Sect, and said with a smile: "Yeah, I don't know what this fellow Taoist said, would he dare to go back and confront those Nascent Soul elders of Guizong? What do the ancestors say?”
The grandmaster of the Star Sect immediately shut up and turned his gaze to the treasure rack next to him, as if what he just said was not his own. Just kidding, although his words are not wrong from a certain perspective, if he really talks to the Yuan Ying ancestors in the sect, wouldn't he be asking for trouble
On the other side, people from the Taoist Palace and the Freemasonry were sent out of the Tower of Babel, and they also saw their respective people guarding outside. Those who were guarding outside saw them appearing, and immediately rushed over to greet them, eagerly asking about the situation in the Tower of Babel.
On the Freemason side, Qiao Ronghua briefly explained the process, focusing on the truth about this small world and the three conditions for leaving the small world. These people outside don't know yet that the world they live in is just a secret realm in a fairy palace. Therefore, just hearing this, everyone was shocked and speechless.
However, no one doubted Qiao Ronghua's words. After all, they had already made many speculations about the origins of Ye Zan and others. Now, knowing this truth, many mysteries were immediately explained, and everything that was difficult to figure out became logical.
Of course, in the end, their focus is on leaving this world. In particular, when several Nascent Soul Ancestors of Freemasonry knew that it was possible to reach a higher level after leaving this small world, they became even more excited.
However, when they heard the three conditions for leaving, several Nascent Soul Ancestors felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on their heads, and their excitement disappeared instantly.
After all, upon hearing the last two conditions, it is really difficult for some people to accept them. Leaving a mark on any Taoist military book is basically like signing a contract of betrayal. From now on, life and death are not up to you. Then, he has to join that Jade Qing Sect, work for that Jade Qing Sect and even sacrifice his life.
You must know that in this small world, these Yuan Ying ancestors, whether they are from Taoist palaces or Freemasons, are a group of people who stand at the top of the world. They are the supreme beings of this world, no one dares to offend them, they are truly supreme beings. But now, if they want to leave here, they have to become other people's vassals and work for others. This gap is really too big.
However, compared to the Taoist palace, the people on the Freemasonry side are more accepting of the latter two conditions. On the one hand, in this world, although they are also Yuan Ying ancestors, they still have a Taoist palace on their heads, and no one wants to be called evil all day long. And as long as they leave this world, they will naturally get rid of the label of evil. On the other hand, Qiao Ronghua also said that they were rejoining the Yuqing Sect, rather than joining a strange sect as outsiders, and they would not be used as bullies as imagined.
Of course, what's more important is further temptation. For Taoists, whether they are seeking immortality or seeking the great road, state of mind is the most important. Now, knowing that if you leave here, you will have the opportunity to break through the shackles of Nascent Soul and take a step further, who would be willing to stick here. Although that only means there is a chance, and not everyone will be 100% able to break through as soon as they go out, but it is still better than no chance at all.
Therefore, after some introduction and persuasion by Qiao Ronghua, several Yuanying ancestors from the Freemasonry finally nodded and decided to follow Qiao Ronghua and "reenter" the Yuqing Sect together.
Compared to the Freemasonry, the Taoist palace is a bit more troublesome. After all, the Taoist family has a big business, so making chicken heads here is still very tempting. Moreover, Mr. Ta's warning also had a considerable impact on some people. Even if they really wanted to leave, they would not dare to risk their lives.
Cheng Liangqi said everything he needed to say, and as he watched several of the country-protecting mages arguing endlessly and giving all kinds of weird reasons, he suddenly felt a little discouraged. He has been a protector of the country in the Taoist Palace for many years, and he also knows a lot about the secret things in the Taoist Palace, but he is unable to change anything with his personal power. But now it seems that leaving here and starting everything over seems to be a good choice.
"Fellow Taoists, no matter what you think, I have decided to leave here and pursue a higher path." Cheng Liangqi suddenly interrupted during the debate.
"What, Liangqi, you have to think about it. Here you are a dignified mage protecting the country, but when you go outside, you have to leave your life and death in the hands of others, and you have to obey others and obey their orders." Said the Protector of the Country who was willing to leave.
This protector of the country can be regarded as an old man in the Taoist palace. He has stayed in the Nascent Soul realm for hundreds of years. He should have taken this opportunity to seek a breakthrough. However, he chose to give up this opportunity and wanted to continue to stay in this small world. It seemed that he would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. However, the real reasons are known to the other protector mages.
"Yes, Brother Cheng, look at the evil members of the Freemasonry. It seems that they have all chosen to leave. If you also choose to leave, wouldn't you have to be with those evil people all day long? In my opinion, this time they leave, I say Gong Zheng can take this opportunity to completely eradicate the Freemasonry," another Protector of the Country said with a righteous face.
