The reality is far less beautiful than imagined, and this token is far less awesome than Mr. Ta said.
Yes, this token can indeed enter and leave the Immortal Palace freely, and it can indeed borrow the power of the Immortal Palace. However, all these beautiful functions are greatly reduced compared with Ye Zan's understanding and imagination.
This token is known as the pass token of Immortal Palace, but in fact the passable range does not include the real core area. In Ye Zan's opinion, the real owner of this token is probably the people who worked in the Immortal Palace thousands of years ago.
The core area of the Immortal Palace must have the key to refining the Immortal Palace, as well as the center that controls the Immortal Palace formations, etc. In that kind of place, probably only Daozu Xuanqing himself and his direct disciples are qualified to enter.
But Ye Zan doesn't care much about this. Anyway, even if he reaches the core area, he can't do much with his little cultivation.
However, the freedom to enter and leave the Immortal Palace and to borrow the power of the Immortal Palace, these two functions that Ye Zan cares about most, are discounted at a discount that is really unacceptable.
Let’s talk about free entry and exit of the Immortal Palace first. It is indeed as Ye Zan imagined. No matter where you are, you can open a channel and enter the Immortal Palace directly. At the same time, when leaving, you can also choose to open the exit anywhere else, even on the sun.
There is nothing to say about opening a passage into the Immortal Palace anywhere. The key is to open the exit anywhere in the Immortal Palace. This requires the support of divine will. In other words, in the Immortal Palace, you first need to use your spiritual thoughts to locate the location, and then you can open the exit at that place.
Speaking of which, this requirement is actually quite normal. If you don't use your spiritual mind to locate it first, if the exit really opens on the sun, wouldn't it be burned to ashes as soon as you exit
But the problem is, how can Ye Zan, a small golden elixir master, have anything as high-end as his divine mind. Only when you reach the realm of Yuanshen can you refine your conscious thoughts into divine thoughts. This is also the most essential change from the realm of Yuanying to the realm of Yuanshen.
Why did Guo Zhenyang's cultivation skyrocket to such a terrifying level after eating something strange? Killing the Nascent Soul was like killing a chicken and a dog, but he was still only half a soul. It is because his cultivation level can skyrocket, but he cannot refine his spiritual thoughts. Therefore, no matter what, he is still the most critical half step away from the realm of the soul.
Therefore, given Ye Zan's current conditions, he basically shouldn't consider arbitrarily positioning the exit.
However, that's about borrowing Asgardian power.
In Ye Zan's imagination, this should look like this. When you are walking outside to see who is unhappy, as long as you activate the restriction on the token, the Immortal Palace will immediately act like an interstellar fortress, launching a long-range fatal blow to the target.
However, after checking the token, Ye Zan knew that he wanted to be beautiful again. This borrows the power of the Immortal Palace, which sounds nice to say, but in fact it is just a protective measure, a bit like the token of Tiandao Mountain. However, the function of this Immortal Palace Token is to send him directly to the Immortal Palace when he is fatally injured.
Moreover, unlike the kind of magic protection that is cast, the Asgard Token does not provide the holder with any defensive protection. However, in the Immortal Palace Token, the way of time is used, which can reverse life and death in an instant and send people to the Immortal Palace at the same time.
In other words, if Ye Zan really encounters an unbeatable strong person, whether he is killed by the opponent or blown to pieces, he will be resurrected in the fairy palace in the next moment.
This kind of protection method has some great advantages compared to the token of Tiandao Mountain.
The token of Tiandao Mountain actively releases a mana shield when it senses that the holder is under fatal threat. However, this judgment may sometimes be wrong, and may even be self-defeating at times.
For example, if the person holding the token takes the initiative to take risks, lure the enemy to reveal his weaknesses, and achieve counterattack at the last critical moment. Therefore, he may have been prepared for a fatal blow from the enemy, but in fact he would not suffer much damage.
However, the token does not consider this. It feels that the holder is under a fatal threat, and directly uses a mana shield to block the enemy's attack. As a result, the holder's plan was instantly foiled under this protection.
As for this fairy palace token, it doesn't matter whether you are threatened or not. Anyway, there is only one criterion for judgment, and that is the death of the holder. As long as the holder is really dead, it will immediately exert its power to reverse time and allow the holder to be reborn in the fairy palace.
Of course, the Immortal Palace Token is not omnipotent, otherwise, so many people from the Yuqing Sect would not have died in that catastrophe.
After seeing the Immortal Palace Token, Ye Zan could only accept the reality and put the token away helplessly. However, he had no intention of just letting that old man off. After all, the function of the Immortal Palace Token was far different from what he had imagined.
When Ta Lao saw Ye Zan put away the token, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With a bit of anxiety in his tone, he asked Ye Zan: "How is it? Now that I have refined the token, it must be Are you satisfied?"
However, after Ye Zan put away the token, there was still no trace of joy on his face. He looked at Mr. Ta and said: "Old Ta, you don't think that with such a token, you can protect me and the Yuqing Sect. It’s safe now.”
If he was serious, Ta Lao must have felt a little bit in his heart after hearing Ye Zan's words, and he quickly asked in confusion: "What did you say, little friend? Isn't this token not enough?"
"You know what the restrictions are on this token. This is a guy who saves his life. If he can save my life when he encounters any strong enemy, it's pretty good. But the problem is, you said Well, as a member of the Yuqing Sect, you must have some character. Every time you encounter a strong enemy, you will be killed and returned to the immortal palace. Do you always think that you are brave enough to be forced by a strong enemy? Zongdu moved to this small world, do you always think this is a man of character? "
Then don’t ask for that token! Mr. Ta cursed secretly in his heart, but he did not dare to say anything else, for fear that Ye Zan would cause something wrong again.
"Then according to my friend's opinion, do you need anything else?" Ta Lao asked angrily.
"You see, my cultivation level is really too low. Even if I have the Immortal Palace token to protect me, I am afraid that I will become a frequent visitor here in the future, or else I will simply shrink here for the rest of my life. So, you always Is there any magical elixir that can help my cultivation level...at least reach the realm of Yuanshen?" Ye Zan asked with an embarrassed look.
"...Don't think about it. There are magic elixirs and precious medicines, but I can't violate the rules here and can't give things to others without authorization. What's more, one's own cultivation is only achieved by accumulating it bit by bit. . With the help of the power of elixirs, no matter how high your cultivation level is, it will still be a castle in the air." Mr. Ta said with a cold face.
"Well, to me, it's the same as nothing." Ye Zan suddenly felt helpless and said to himself: You might as well just say no! You just say you have it, but you don't give it to me. Isn't this deliberately annoying!
However, Ye Zan just mentioned it casually and was not very eager for the magical elixir, so he then asked: "Then, if there is any innate spiritual treasure or the best magic weapon, you can give me one." ”
"This doesn't violate the rules here." Mr. Ta finally nodded.
Ye Zan was overjoyed when he saw this, rubbed his hands in vain, and said: "Then you are always tired, so take it out and show it to me!"
"What to take?" Ta Lao asked back, then he raised his hand and pointed outside the barrier and said: "Aren't there so many magic weapons there? According to the rules here, you can choose from them if you can get here. One thing, you just have to pick it yourself.”
"What, you mean the ones outside?" Ye Zan felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, because the magic weapons the other party was talking about were the ones on the treasure rack outside for anyone to choose from.
"Yes, this is within the rules." Mr. Ta nodded and said matter-of-factly.
"Haha." Ye Zan was so angry that he sneered twice and said, "Are you trying to trick me into not recognizing those magic weapons?"
"How do you say this?" Mr. Ta asked.
"If my guess is correct, those magic weapons must have come from the hands of Xuanzhen Taoist Ancestor!" Ye Zan had to show his hand again. Fortunately, there were barriers around him, and those outside had no idea what was going on inside.
"Hey, how do you know!" Mr. Ta was really shocked. He didn't expect that Ye Zan didn't get the skills of Xuanqing Daozu just because of a moment of luck. He seemed to know a lot of things.
"Of course I know, and I also know which of those magic weapons are deceptive, which ones are discounted, and which ones can only be used as decorations." Ye Zan did not wait for Elder Ta to continue asking, and quickly Then he commented on the magic weapons on the treasure shelf one by one.
After listening to Ye Zan's comments, Ta Lao suppressed the shock in his heart for a long time and said calmly: "In this case, wouldn't it be better? Just choose the best magic weapon."
"That won't work. Those magic weapons must also be a test. Since I can distinguish them, shouldn't there be any rewards?" Ye Zan said with a bit of a sinister smile.
Ye Zan's words were a bit rogue. After all, a test is a test, but the reward is if you choose the right magic weapon, there is no reason for another reward. However, Ye Zan's words were not just a lie, but based on a little experience in dealing with artificial intelligence, he wanted to try to find out Ta Lao's loopholes.
Although Ta Lao is a tool spirit and is different from the artificial intelligence in the technological world, he should still be different from humans after all. Perhaps, the machine spirits in this world may be closer to humans than artificial intelligence in their way of thinking. But it is precisely because of this that there may be loopholes to exploit. Otherwise, if it is a very rigid program, it will be difficult to deal with.
Sure enough, after hearing Ye Zan's words, Mr. Ta seemed to be a little involved and said: "Identifying magic weapons is indeed a test, but isn't the reward the right magic weapon you choose?"
Hearing the doubts in Mr. Ta's tone, Ye Zan suddenly felt happy, and then said seriously: "Then how can it be the same? Choosing right or wrong is my ability, how can it be regarded as a reward? Besides, I have identified all the magic weapons, can I only use one that I selected based on my ability?"
It's like, why should I pay back the money I borrowed based on my ability!
"What, isn't this how it should be?" Mr. Ta started to feel a little confused.
"Let me analyze it for you. The rule here is that everyone chooses a magic weapon and takes it away, right? However, some people, like me, identify it based on their ability and take it away, but some people may be blind and end up getting a good one. Magic weapon. You judge, if this magic weapon can be regarded as a reward, is it fair? Therefore, there must be a reward that can reward people like me who can really distinguish between good and bad magic weapons, right? Ye Zan said sincerely, as if what he cared about was not the reward, but fairness.
Ta Lao thought about it for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Finally, he simply said: "Okay, then what do you think is fair?"
"Of course there must be another reward, and it will definitely be better than those magic weapons." Ye Zan said decisively.
"But I don't have that right either." Mr. Ta reluctantly stuck to his bottom line.
Ye Zan curled his lips and said disdainfully: "You have given me the Immortal Palace Token. You can give me one more magic weapon without breaking the rules. Besides, that magic weapon can only be used by others. Talent is considered a magic weapon, but if it is left to collect dust in a warehouse, it is just a piece of waste."
"I, I, that's it!" Mr. Ta thought about it again and again, but still couldn't get out. Finally, he bowed his head and admitted defeat. He raised his hand and put something in front of Ye Zan and said, "I have limited rights. I can only give you this.”
"What kind of magic weapon is this?" Ye Zan looked at the thing in front of him, which was a yellow jade tablet more than two meters high. He didn't know what material it was made of, but it just looked like jade and was yellow, so he tentatively called it a topaz stele.
This topaz tablet looks quite old. There are still some marks of being chopped with knives and axes, but fortunately there are no cracks. There are no words or graphics on the monument, and there are no fancy decorations on either side. Below it is a base that looks like a lotus.
"This was brought back by the Taoist Patriarch from an ancient battlefield between immortals and demons. It is called the merit stele. It is said that it is a magic weapon used by the immortals in the ancient heaven to record their own merits." Ta Lao introduced from the side.
"The Monument of Merit! What is the use of this thing to me? Even if it is really the ancient immortals who recorded the merits, I am just a small golden elixir realm, can I use this thing? What I want is a magic weapon!" Ye Zan Said angrily.
Ta Lao's face straightened, he stroked the merit stele and said, "This merit stele is also a magic weapon. Moreover, the more merits recorded in it, the more powerful the merit stele will be. What's more, If you use it against an enemy, as long as the enemy's merit is not as good as yours, the greater the gap, the harder it will be to withstand the power of the Merit Monument."
"In other words, if the enemy's merit is higher than mine, then this merit monument is just an ordinary stone, and it's a stone that won't hurt anyone, right?" Ye Zan said angrily. (To be continued.)
