The power of merit is as elusive as the secrets of the great road.
Chen Xi had never heard that the power of merit could be divided into levels like magic weapons and elixirs, but when he took out his merit nameplate, he immediately understood what was going on.
The merit plate is like a dark golden medal, with countless fine and intricate textures on its surface. It is a strange treasure that records the power of merit.
In the Talisman Realm, there are many strange beasts in the universe. Every time you kill one, you will get the corresponding merit power according to their strength, which will be shown in this merit nameplate.
In addition, there are many other ways to earn merit power, such as repairing talisman towers, escorting caravans, receiving and completing tasks assigned by Jiupintang, etc., and you can also obtain corresponding merit power.
Now, after the killing just now, Chen Xi's merit plate could not see any changes on the surface, but it had suddenly changed into something completely different on the inside.
If you use your spiritual consciousness to investigate, you will find that the inside of the nameplate is like a starry sky containing countless stars, densely covered with countless tiny stars.
Most of these stars were dim, but there were only about thirty of them, which now bloomed with brilliant golden luster, spreading out wisps of dreamlike golden light of merit.
According to Chen Xi's speculation, these "lit" stars represent the power of merit, so the number of three-star merit power mentioned by Elder Xue Ming is naturally easy to understand.
In other words, by killing those strange beasts in the universe this time, he gained a total of more than 30 stars of merit power. He only needed to exchange three stars among them to get enough spiritual liquid fairy stones from Elder Xue Ming to replenish them. The power consumed.
"This merit plate is indeed wonderful. I don't know which powerful person who created the talisman world created it. It can actually record the power of merit so clearly. No wonder it can be exchanged like currency..."
After understanding all this, Chen Xi couldn't help but secretly marvel.
This reminded him of the Spirit Emperor's Dao Testing Stone, which tests Taoism, and the Martial Emperor's Battle Soul Monument, which tests combat power and potential... They all possess such magical power that can transform decay into magic.
…
Although it was late at night, the lights in Jinsang Village were brightly lit at this time, and people were singing and laughing everywhere. The villagers were too excited to sleep. They gathered together to drink and celebrate, and burst out with hearty laughter from time to time.
At this time, Chen Xi and the others followed Elder Xue Ming to the side of the Talisman Tower.
There is a low altar here, made of rough bluestone. The walls are mottled and dull. It is unknown how many years it has been there, and it exudes an ancient and vicissitudes of life.
What is surprising is that around the altar, a mysterious pattern is painted that looks like it was poured with blood. The texture is mysterious, and scenes such as flowers, birds, insects, fish, ancestors' sacrifices, the cycle of the sun and the moon, etc. can be vaguely seen.
From a distance, this mysterious pattern is like the totem of an ancient ethnic group, giving people a solemn, mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
The skinny Xue Ming walked up to the altar. After kneeling three times and prostrating nine times, he took out a stone knife from his arms, cut his fingertips, soaked out drops of blood, and began to slowly smear on the mysterious patterns on the altar floor.
His expression was unprecedentedly solemn, awe-inspiring, and even a little fanatical, and the movements in his hands were even more cautious, gentle and slow.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xi, Xiang Tianxiao, and Yao Luwei were all a little confused.
They could see that this seemed to be an ancient sacrificial ceremony, with a solemn and solemn feel.
Buzz!
After a moment, a strange fluctuation suddenly occurred around the altar, and the mysterious pattern drawn on the surface of the altar began to glow, and a light curtain suddenly appeared. The light curtain was a vast starry sky, and under the starry sky, there was a Ruler handle.
This ruler was square and square, as smooth as a mirror, and its clear light was diffuse. It gave people a strange feeling of being fair, regular, and capable of measuring everything in the universe. But then, this ruler disappeared in a flash.
The light curtain turned into pitch black.
"Measuring the sky!"
Although it was just a glimpse, it still made Xiang Tianxiao exclaim. He seemed to remember something, "Sure enough, this ruler was born in ancient times. It is an artifact of chaos. It can measure the height of the sky and measure the height of all things." Reason, no wonder, no wonder..."
"Yes, it is this thing. It is said that it is in the hands of Emperor Xuan Xun. At the beginning of the creation of the Talisman Realm, the division of heaven and the shaping of all things were all due to the credit of the measuring ruler. Originally I thought it was just a rumor, I didn’t expect this to be true.”
On the side, Yao Luwei also said slowly, with a look of shock in her clear eyes.
A measuring stick
Chen Xi was startled. He was also amazed by the words of Xiang Tianxiao and Yao Luwei. The laws of heaven in the Talisman Realm were different from those in other big worlds. They were actually the result of the measurement of the Heavenly Ruler
He even feels that the reason why this merit plate can specifically divide the power of merit is probably related to the measuring ruler.
Next, Xue Ming took the nameplates of their respective merits from the hands of Chen Xi and the others, took a deep breath, carefully handed them all into the dark screen of light, and then sat cross-legged on the ground, muttering something obscure and weird, like a prayer. An ancient motto used in rituals.
Soon, Xue Ming took out three jade bottles from the pitch-black light curtain, and handed them to Chen Xi and the other three along with the merit plaques.
Chen Xi took it and checked it, and found that the three stars representing the power of merit on the merit nameplate had become dim, and only twenty-nine stars were still bright.
And the jade bottle is also very particular. It is actually a storage magic weapon. It contains a huge amount of immortal liquid, which is enough to restore a strong earth immortal who has exhausted his immortal energy to his original state in an instant.
This is a unique exchange method in the Talisman Realm. Since there is no spiritual energy between heaven and earth, one can only use the power of merit to exchange for the required spiritual liquid fairy stones to replenish one's cultivation.
According to Elder Xue Ming, after entering the city, this exchange will become easier, and there is no need to use the ancient altar to exchange for spiritual fluid fairy stones through blood sacrifice like he did.
However, for Chen Xi, Xiang Tianxiao, and Yao Luwei, the immortal stones they carry alone are enough for them to not have to worry about this for a long time.
Especially for Chen Xi, the Cangwu seedlings in his body can continuously replenish his true energy. Even if the second clone's witchcraft power is exhausted, there is no need to worry about it.
However, because the last time I used the Explosive God Killing Technique, I hurt my own origin, and I am still in seclusion in the star world. So far, I can't be of much help.
Therefore, Chen Xi could only temporarily rely on the power of his merits to exchange for immortal stones and immortal liquid to maintain his strength.
Different from the spiritual power contained in spiritual liquids and spiritual stones, the power of immortality contained in fairy stones and fairy liquids is a higher level of power and the source of all kinds of power in the world. Therefore, one can practice with it. , not only can replenish true energy, but can also be converted into witchcraft power for use.
…
When leaving the altar, Elder Xue Ming hesitated again and again, and suddenly said: "You three young heroes, I wonder if you can do me a favor in Jinsang Village?"
The voice was cautious, with a hint of prayer.
"We are here to kill the strange beasts in the universe and earn merit. How can we have so much time to help you? If this continues, when will we be able to leave here and enter Yan Chi City?" Xiang Tianxiao frowned. .
Xue Ming smiled bitterly and sighed: "You three don't know. This Talisman Realm is opened on the battlefield at the forefront of the Three Realms. The alien beasts in the universe can never be killed, and every seven days, there will be new ones. Strange beasts from the universe appear, and the threat is still there."
Yao Luwei was surprised and said: "So, in seven days, the same situation as tonight will happen?"
Xue Ming nodded, frowning.
"What you are asking for is to repair this talisman tower?" Chen Xi suddenly said, pointing to the 10,000-foot tall talisman tower.
"Exactly!"
Xue Ming nodded repeatedly and said cautiously: "Young hero, I wonder if the three of you are proficient in Talisman Arrays? To be honest, as long as you can completely repair the Talisman Tower, you will earn more merit than killing tens of thousands of Zhou Yu Yi. There are many beasts, and they can gather enough merit power to enter the city."
"How can you actually earn so much?" Wentianxiao's eyes widened, and then he said with a look of regret: "What a pity, I can only set up the talisman formation to kill the enemy, but I can never refine or repair the formation."
"I do know a little bit about talisman formations, but I don't know how long it will take to repair this talisman tower that is tens of thousands of feet high..." Yao Luwei said thoughtfully.
Xue Ming was overjoyed: "Just a little understanding is enough. Talisman towers in villages are far from comparable to Talisman towers in cities and counties. A Talisman Array Grandmaster can repair them in half a month." .”
Yao Luwei was stunned and couldn't help but shake her head and said: "My understanding of Talisman Dao is still far behind that of the Talisman Array Grandmaster, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
In her opinion, even if she could repair the Talisman Tower, it would only take a year and a half. But if she simply killed the universe beasts, she might be able to earn enough money in just one month. Enter the power of merit in the city.
Comparing the two, she was naturally unwilling to do such a laborious and time-wasting thing.
The joyful look on Xue Ming's face suddenly dimmed, and he shook his head and said: "Forget it, I still thought too much. I thought that most of the people who came to the Talisman Realm were people who had a lot of research on Talisman Arrays. Alas, who would have thought..."
Before he finished speaking, his regret and loss were clearly revealed.
"Let me give it a try." On the side, Chen Xi was silent for a long time before finally speaking.
He had been thinking about why Senior Sister Li Yang called this Talisman Realm the Holy Land of Talisman Dao. Through this period of observation, he finally vaguely felt that perhaps, all this was related to the Talisman Tower.
He even suspected that the Talisman Towers in the major villages, cities, states and counties in the Talisman Realm were all inextricably related to the Dayan Tower in the Four Emperors' City.
And his goals in coming to the Talisman Realm were all set on the Dayan Tower!
"you?"
Xiang Tianxiao and Yao Luwei said the same thing, with a hint of surprise in their voices.
