Chapter 52: Changes in Merit
The knife is not an orthodox machete. It is longer than an ordinary sword, but the blade is very narrow, similar to the legendary embroidered spring knife.
Lu Ye waved it a few times and found it very easy to use.
Good result, the sword can no longer be used, and he got a new weapon instead, saving the trouble of buying another one.
He tried to pour his own spiritual power into the knife, and a faint halo immediately emerged from the long knife. The halo was not sharp, but gave people a sense of heaviness.
What surprised Lu Ye even more was that he felt that there seemed to be something hidden in the blade.
He closed his eyes and sensed through the flow of his own spiritual power, and gradually figured out the situation inside the blade.
There was a spiritual pattern inside the blade of this knife!
Is this... a spiritual weapon? Lu Ye showed a surprised look.
He had been in and out of the market several times, and his experience now was naturally not comparable to when he first entered the Lingxi battlefield. He had heard of spiritual weapons. They were weapons used exclusively by monks. A good spiritual weapon could often bring great benefits to the owner.
Lu Ye's previous sword was an ordinary weapon. It was not special except that it was sharp. However, spiritual weapons are different. Depending on the type of spiritual patterns engraved in it, each spiritual weapon has its own unique power.
This knife has spiritual patterns. Lu Ye urged the spiritual power to be poured into it, and he could easily stimulate the power of the spiritual patterns, so that the knife would be endowed with the characteristics of spiritual patterns.
He tried for a moment and determined that the spiritual pattern was used to strengthen the blade. In this way, when fighting with the enemy, this spiritual weapon would not be easily damaged.
Lu Ye suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he had used the sharp spiritual pattern to bless his long sword before, but failed to cut off the opponent's knife...
This was an unexpected surprise. Although strengthening the blade sounds useless, it is actually a very practical spiritual pattern. Moreover, Lu Ye himself has mastered the sharp spiritual pattern, and can use it to bless this spiritual weapon at any time to greatly increase its sharpness.
With such a spiritual weapon in hand, Lu Ye's strength can be improved by at least 10% or 20%. When he encounters an enemy again, he can chop and slash as much as he wants without worrying about the damage of the weapon.
However, a spiritual weapon with only one spiritual pattern should be only the lowest level spiritual weapon.
"Come in!" Lu Ye sheathed the long sword and sat cross-legged again.
A small figure slowly floated in from the cave entrance. When he came in front of Lu Ye, he showed him a flattering smile and said obediently: "The body of the other person has been dealt with."
Lu Ye casually threw out a storage bag, which was Liu Ruyin's.
Yiyi took it, checked it, and said in surprise: "So many?"
There were more than one bottle of spiritual pills in it, and there were also several spiritual stones.
"Two things add one to make five, thank you very much this time." Lu Ye nodded to her. Although he had enough spiritual talismans and was sure to kill the fair-skinned man by himself, if he really did so, other people's storage bags would definitely not be opened.
And there must be some risks.
At that time, he went to find Dahu and Yiyi with the intention of taking advantage of the situation. Fortunately, Yiyi's brain was flexible enough. He only said one word and Yiyi knew what to do.
This time, the cooperation was easy and pleasant.
There were not many good things in the storage bag of the fair-skinned man. The only valuable thing was his weapon. Liu Ruyin was richer, but not much.
Moreover, the talisman in Liu Ruyin's hand was activated at the last moment. If it weren't for Dahu blocking the gun for him, Lu Ye would have to face the power of the talisman by himself, which added a lot of danger.
He made half of the things and took the spiritual weapon himself. In a sense, he made a profit.
Yiyi didn't expect Lu Ye to be so generous. She looked at him with a complicated expression and finally thanked him.
"Wait." Lu Ye called her.
Yiyi looked back.
"You should have heard what the woman I killed said before."
"Yes."
"Although this was a private action by her, and her death is not a pity, she is a member of the Tianji Business Alliance after all. I don't know how the Business Alliance will react after her death, but you'd better change your territory. This place is too close to Qingyun Market. If the Business Alliance wants to investigate the cause of her death, it will be easy to find you."
"What about you?" Yiyi asked.
"I will leave here soon."
This incident taught Lu Ye a lesson. All the elixirs he uses for cultivation now have to be obtained by selling Yuanci ore, and the only sales channel is the Tianji Business Alliance. He has only been there three times, and he was targeted by Liu Ruyin.
Who knows if there is another Liu Ruyin there.
So he doesn't plan to stay here any longer.
If it is said that cultivating to the first level of Lingxi has given him the qualifications to survive in the Lingxi battlefield, then the second level now has the capital to walk.
He couldn't control what decision Yiyi and Dahu would make. The battlefield in Lingxi was too big, and they might not have a chance to meet again in the future. He just kindly reminded them out of morality.
After Yiyi left, Lu Ye counted the supplies in his hands.
Ninety-three soul-enriching pills, eighty-one of which were bought from the Tianji Business Alliance, and twelve were obtained after sharing the spoils with Yiyi.
Four spirit stones, also obtained from sharing the spoils, he used his own spirit stones to buy food.
Seven healing pills, four of which were left by him, and three were searched from the storage bag of the fair-skinned man. On the contrary, there was no healing pill in Liu Ruyin's storage bag. It is estimated that she did not expect that she would need it.
Less than thirty various spiritual talismans.
Twenty-six pieces of Yuanci ore of various sizes.
A lowest-level spiritual weapon long sword.
A volume of Jinchan Xiaoyao Jue.
The existing elixir is enough for him to cultivate to the third level of Lingxi. Once he reaches the third level of Lingxi, his strength will surely increase. He dare not say that he can dominate the outer circle of the battlefield, but at least his ability to protect himself can be increased.
He vaguely felt that he had forgotten something. After thinking carefully for a long time, he remembered it.
He immediately urged the spiritual energy to pour into the back of his right hand. The spiritual power rippled and turned into a blue spiritual pattern. The spiritual pattern squirmed and changed, and several lines of large characters appeared in Lu Ye's vision.
Name: Lu Ye.
Identity: Disciple of the Blue Blood Sect.
Cultivation: Twenty-one orifices.
Location: Lingxi battlefield.
Merit: Eight.
Compared with the first time he saw the battlefield mark, his name, identity and location have not changed, but his cultivation has changed from opening three orifices to twenty-one orifices. This is the result of Lu Ye's efforts for more than two months, so there is nothing to worry about.
What he cares about is the merit!
When he saw this for the first time, he was very curious about what this merit is and how to get it.
Until this moment, he had a vague understanding.
This merit, I am afraid, can only be obtained by killing people.
He remembered that when the fair-skinned man died, a little red light floated out from the back of his hand and flew into the back of his own hand.
And when Liu Ruyin died, a yellow light flew out.
Different colors of light represent different camps?
So, the fair-skinned monk he killed should belong to Wanmo Ridge, and Tianji Business Alliance is a neutral camp? So it does business on both sides.
But what is the use of this merit, Lu Ye is not sure for the time being, and can only wait and explore slowly in the future.
