Chapter 178: A Quick Way to Gain Merit

In the room, Lu Ye was shirtless, sitting cross-legged on his bed.The Sky Vault not only can be bought but also sold.

Whatever has value, can be sold to Tiānjī Bǎokù.

But this is a very unprofitable act. Lu Ye once tried to sell the Pishan Sword to the Heavenly Machine Treasure House, and the result was worth fifty points of merit.

You must know that this spirit blade cost him 138 points of merit to purchase. The price difference before and after is more than double!

He has already given the two breakthrough fruits to his second senior sister. Not only is she a medical cultivator, but also an alchemy cultivator. She can use the breakthrough fruits with other medicinal herbs to refine them into breakthrough pills, maximizing their effect.

"Is there no other way" Lu Ye continued, taking a big bite of the dish his second senior sister had just passed him.

Lu Ye's face darkened. Now, in the entire Bi Xue Zong base, he was the only disciple left. Who could he declare war against There were a few Wan Mo Ling sects nearby. Even if he declared war, there was no guarantee they would accept it. And even if they did, he had no hope of winning. Besides, he didn't have the capital to declare war. To earn military merit from others, he needed to have some merit first.

"What if you participated in the Lingxi Town Defense"

Before Li Baxian could finish his words, Shui Yuan glared at him fiercely.

Shui Yuan fell silent and added another serving of vegetables to Lu Ye's plate.

Lu Ye looked left and right, seeing that his second senior sister remained silent. He then asked, "What is the war guarding Lingxi Town"

Li Baxian then explained to him: “In about half a month, the results of the sect's grade assessment will be out. Generally, after each grade assessment is over, there will be this Lingxi Town Guard…”

Through Li Baxian's explanation, Lu Ye slowly understood what the Lingxi Town Guard Battle was.

As a longstanding tradition, all major and minor sects remain tranquil before the sect ranking assessment. This is because any inappropriate actions during this period could potentially lead to a decline in their sect's ranking, a responsibility no one can afford to bear.

But the Lingxi battlefield couldn't stay this peaceful forever. The rivalry between the two major camps was bound to make cultivators from both sides dislike each other. Therefore, after every sect ranking assessment, things would become extremely lively.

The Lingxi Town Defense War emerged as a result of Heaven's Mandate. It was an inevitable event, impossible to resist. Heaven seemed to be using this method to intensify the conflict between the two major factions.

After the assessment of sect rankings, the garrison commanders of various sects could sign up to participate in the battle. They would use a blessing from their sect's Celestial Pillar as a wager and enter an unknown small space for combat. If killed, that blessing would be taken by the killer.

Under the blessing of the Heavenly Column, the spiritual energy of a residence can become more potent. Each blessing can increase it by 10%. Lu Ye had previously tried to purchase them using merit points. The first one cost 500 merit points, which wasn't much. However, after asking Li Baxian, he learned that these blessings become increasingly expensive as you progress further.

Therefore, those with great strength in the Lingxi Town Defense War could gain a significant amount of blessings. Bringing these blessings back to their sect's base would greatly enhance the spiritual energy of that location.

Moreover, within that unknown small space, there are many peculiar treasures, such as the Barrier-Breaking Fruit, which is rarely seen in the outside world.

It can be said that the Lingxi Town Guardian War, held every three years, is a grand event for sects of all sizes. Almost all sects in the entire Kyushu region will participate in it.y-rank technique, their strength increases significantly. This is because, firstly, after cultivating a heavenly-rank technique, the cultivator's control over their own spiritual energy greatly improv...
