Chapter 12 Merit Gambling, Killing the Puppet
"Colorful merit fish, billion grand prize."
Since the relevant news had already spread all over the sky and everyone was discussing it, Lu Yang figured out the whole story without much effort.
It turns out that there is a permanent special task in the First Saint Sect called "Accumulating Merit".
The location is just below the Sacred Fire Cliff, deep in the sea of clouds, a treasure land called "Merit Pool", in which there is a different kind of spirit beast called "Merit Fish".
Fish are divided into five colors: white, blue, purple, gold, and color.
And the closer it is to color, the more essence the merit fish will have, and after eating, it can not only improve the quality of true qi, but even have the effect of breaking through bottlenecks.
The so-called "accumulating merit" task is also born from this.
This task is limited to once a month per person, first blindly choose a number, and then pay 10 contribution points to bring out the merit fish corresponding to the number.
However, the 10 contribution points paid by the monks will not be recovered by the Holy Sect, but will be recorded in the merit pool account.
And since this mission was released, nearly a hundred years have passed.
But for a hundred years, no one has chosen the colorful merit fish, and the result is that the contribution points in the pool are accumulating more and more, and they have become astronomical.
"One billion! One billion!"
On the rocking chair, the old man was still whispering, his tone full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Just yesterday, the super prize of this "merit bet" finally came to fruition, and the disciples who got it were even less than ten days old.
The century-old prize pool was won by a newcomer who had been in the market for less than ten days!
No wonder the old man in the library is mentally unbalanced, after all, this billion grand prize also includes a share of the tasks he has participated in the merit pool for so many years.
Not to mention that Xiao Shiye got the billion grand prize in the merit pool at the same time, but also got the most precious colored merit fish, after eating, he broke through from the first layer of qi refining to the completion of qi refining overnight, and now he has been accepted as a disciple by the real person in the door, and he is ready to impact the foundation in retreat.
In such a situation, even Lu Yang couldn't help but show envy.
But soon his eyes changed. Because of that lucky person, Xiao Shiye did not hide the number he chose when he drew the colorful merit fish.
「2025113」
Looking at this number, Lu Yang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Just when Lu Yang kept this string of numbers in his heart and was about to use it in the next life, a shadow suddenly walked in outside the library.
"Junior Brother Lu?"
Lu Yang looked up in response and immediately recognized the other party, it was the Fairy Qingchen, she seemed to be surprised too, with a bit of surprise on her pretty face.
"Oh, it's Qingchen, it's time?"
The old man of the library also saw the Fairy Qingchen, and his expression, which was originally boring, instantly became serious, and he stood up and said, "Then let's set off quickly."
"Senior brother, you also want to explore the cave?" Lu Yang said curiously.
"What if not?" The old man of the library said angrily: "I just lost a lot of money, and if I don't find something extra to do, I'm going to drink the northwest wind!"
"Lost a lot of money?"
"Hey, it turned out that I was careless." The old man of the Library Pavilion sighed: "Some time ago, the Holy Sect and the Jade Sword Pavilion of Jiangnan had a big battle."
"The Yushu Sword Pavilion came prepared and robbed a mass grave in the south of the Holy Sect."
"The 'substitute dead body' produced in that mass grave is a very precious treasure, and when the mass grave is taken away, its price in the Holy Sect immediately soars."
"At first, everyone was hoarding, so I was cautious and waited for a while."
"Later, I found out that the price was indeed only rising and not falling, and I felt that the opportunity was fleeting, so I stocked up on a batch of goods from others at a high price."
Speaking of this, the old man of the library pavilion was heartbroken and slapped his thigh with regret: "Who would have thought that as soon as I finished hoarding my front foot, news came from my back foot, saying that the Holy Ancestor had launched a counterattack and the mass grave had been recaptured.
Lu Yang: ".."
"But fortunately, there is Qingchen." The old man in the library sighed for a while, then cheered up again and sighed: "Qingchen is a good person."
Fairy Qingchen smiled shyly: "Senior brother praised."
"It's really heartfelt." The old man of the library said sincerely: "If you hadn't recommended Senior Brother Zhao to me, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to get my capital back."
"It's just a matter of raising your hand." Fairy Qingchen said modestly: "Senior Brother Zhao happens to be short of a batch of substitute corpses, senior brother, you have stocked up on another batch of goods, Qingchen just happened to be at the right time, I just hope to explore the cave in the future, if Qingchen has something to like, senior brother can help Qingchen one or two."
Senior Brother Zhao. Zhao Xuhe? Lu Yang's heart moved slightly.
"By the way, Junior Brother Lu."
Only then did Fairy Qingchen seem to think of Lu Yang, and turned her head to look over: "This time to explore the cave house, junior brother really doesn't plan to go with you?"
「. made senior sister laugh."
Lu Yang shook his head and said: "Junior brother has just started, he is weak and weak, he just wants to focus on cultivation, exploring the cave is too dangerous, and he is really powerless."
"Boy, I don't like to hear what you say."
The old man of the library shook his head: "Focus on practice? Ordinary disciples like us, who have no money or power, only know that there is no immortal path to practicing with a stuffy head."
"Cultivating immortality is to go against the sky and not take risks, how can your cultivation improve by leaps and bounds?"
"When everyone is scared and wants to back down, you should be more brave to try and fight for it, so that you can seize the opportunity!"
Others are afraid of your greed, no wonder you go bankrupt.
No matter how much the old man in the library said, Lu Yang politely refused, so angry that he dropped the sentence "rotten wood cannot be carved" and turned away.
Seeing this, Fairy Qingchen couldn't say anything more, she just glanced at Lu Yang deeply, and then turned around and left, and came to a hidden cave on Butianfeng with the old man of the Book Pavilion, and asked the old man of the Book Pavilion to wait in the outer courtyard first, and then walked into the inner courtyard and came to a quiet room.
After a while, the door of the quiet room opened, and Zhao Xuhe paced out.
"Failed again? He still didn't agree?"
Zhao Xuhe listened to Fairy Qingchen's story, and his brows gradually furrowed: "He is really a firm Taoist, so it's okay to be without this person."
"Senior brother, I think there is something wrong with this person."
Fairy Qingchen bit lightly with her silver teeth: "The life lights of my three concubines went out, I asked them to kill that guy last night, and now it seems that they missed."
"Senior brother, you also know, my three sisters are all three layers of qi refinement, and Lu Yang can kill them. Could it be that it is already a mid-stage cultivation?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Zhao Xuhe shook his head without hesitation: "It's not easy to break through the bottleneck, in just a few days, he can break through to the third layer of qi refining at most, and it is impossible to break through the middle stage."
"You don't have to be suspicious, I've checked his purchase records."
"He bought so many vitality great pills, if he takes them regardless of the cost, it is not surprising that he has reached the third layer of qi refinement, as for your three sisters."
"He used his skills to buy a magical power, which is the true decision of the Yushu Sword Pavilion." Zhao Xuhe peeled off his cocoon and analyzed seriously: "If he is talented, has understanding in swordsmanship, and can quickly master swordsmanship, then it is not uncommon for him to kill your three concubines."
"This senior brother is right."
Fairy Qingchen thought for a moment, and felt that Zhao Xuhe's analysis was more reasonable, after all, she had a deep understanding of how difficult the bottleneck was in the middle of the year.
It took her nearly ten years to barely break through.
Now let's talk about a disciple who has just started and broke through in less than a month, unless he is a real person reincarnated and recultivated, it is simply a fantasy.
"Okay, let's talk about this later."
Zhao Xuhe waved his hand, his eyes shining coldly: "First deal with the affairs of the 'cave house', have you found everything?"
"It's all here." Fairy Qingchen nodded and said: "Especially Wang Bairong of the Library Pavilion, senior brother bought his substitute body, and he trusts us very much now."
"That's good."
Zhao Xuhe smiled coldly: "My Holy Sect has always been a talented person, whether I can take this opportunity to make a lot of money this time depends on my brothers."
