Of the 44,000 merit points, after deducting their monthly salaries, there were only 35,200 merit points left.
Lu Ye placed his hand on the Divine Pillar and used his mind to buy blessings with the sect's merit points. Cracking sounds could be heard, and something inside the Divine Pillar seemed to have changed.
The situation was the same as last time.
While the merit points were reduced by 1,000 points, the concentration of spirit qi in the encampment increased by 10%.
When the spirit qi in the encampment was increased by another 10%, the merit points were reduced by 1,500 points.
The third time, the merit points were reduced by 2,000 points.
Each time it was upgraded, the merit points needed to be spent would increase by 500 points.
When there were only 2,700 merit points left, Lu Ye stopped. He couldn't afford it anymore. The next upgrade would cost him 6,000 merit points.
Cracking sounds could be heard inside the Divine Pillar, and the entire interior of the Divine Pillar underwent a huge change.
At the same time, the wind and clouds above the encampment suddenly changed, and a spirit qi vortex visible to the naked eye formed. Under the vortex's guidance, a huge amount of spirit qi poured into the encampment.
The nominal disciples and rogue cultivators who were exploring the encampment looked at this scene in amazement, but when they felt the spirit qi in the surroundings increase at an extremely fast speed, they immediately understood what was happening.
For a moment, they were all overjoyed.
After a full hour, the vortex disappeared. At this time, the concentration of spirit qi in the Jade Blood Sect's encampment had undergone a huge change.
Including the blessings that Lu Ye had bought a month ago, there were now 11 blessings on the Divine Pillar in the Jade Blood Sect's encampment. The spirit qi in the encampment was 20% higher than in the wild!
This kind of blessings was extremely terrifying. It could be said that cultivating in this environment was more than twice as efficient as cultivating in the wild.
Lu Ye only recently learned about the heavy losses a sect's encampment would suffer after it was captured. He used to think that even if the encampment was captured, as long as the territory was still there, the losses would not be too great. At most, some facilities would be destroyed, and some disciples might be killed.
But now, he understood that once the encampment was captured, all the blessings on the Divine Pillar would be taken away! In this way, it was possible that the accumulation of a generation or even several generations would be completely gone. It was definitely an unbearable pain!
He finally understood why Dong Shu Ye betrayed Nine Star Sect. The Sect's Encampment had been occupied by Profound Sect, and the support of the Heaven's Fate Pillar had been taken away. How could Dong Shu Ye, a mere Seventh-Order cultivator, bear such a crime? If he didn't betray Jiuxing Sect, only death awaited him.
Every Spirit Creek Garrison Battle was a carnival for the sects of the Nine Regions. In such a grand event, those sects that lacked merit points could plunder the blessings of the other sects if they were lucky enough.
Taking the Blue Blood Sect as an example, at this stage, tens of thousands of merit points were simply an unimaginable number. If not for Lu Ye and Hua Ci's huge gains in the battle of Spirit Creek, it would have been impossible to bring about such an increase in the amount of World Energy in the encampment. If they had only relied on the contributions of their disciples, who knew how many years it would have taken to achieve such an effect?
But this time, the Spirit Creek Garrison Battle had more than doubled the amount of World Energy in the encampment, and Lu Ye and Hua Ci had made a fortune.
For any sect, the Spirit Creek Garrison Battle was a great opportunity for them to take on the big picture. Of course, they would also have to be prepared to take on the consequences. A bonus of 500 merit points was nothing, but the death of the Garrison Envoy and Deputy Garrison Envoy would be the true loss.
Even so, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Nine Regions' Sects to participate in this grand event.
However, such a good thing did not happen often. The Spirit Creek Garrison Battle only happened once every three years, and Lu Ye estimated that after three years, he would no longer be at the Spirit Creek Battlefield.
"That's right." Lu Ye suddenly remembered something and took out the Breath Fruit Core from his Storage Bag, "Do you want to try this thing?"
"What's the use of this Breath Fruit Core?"
"It can only be said to be helpful to your cultivation. You'll know once you try it," Lu Ye tossed the Breath Fruit Core over.
Hua Ci caught it and poured her Spirit Energy into it.
A malicious smile immediately appeared on Lu Ye's face.
A moment later, Hua Ci suddenly opened her eyes and groaned as she gasped for breath. Her forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat, as if she had encountered something terrible. She lowered her head to look at her abdomen, and after confirming that it was intact, she let out a long sigh of relief.
"You weren't scared, were you?" Lu Ye did not know whether to laugh or cry. He and Shui Yuan had both tried the Breath Fruit Core before, but they had not had such a big reaction.
Hua Ci looked up at him, her eyes full of resentment. After a long time, she said, "Give me back fifty merit points!"
"You're already a rich woman, so why do you care about fifty merit points?"
Hua Ci glared at Lu Ye and threw the Breath Fruit Core back to him. It was a good thing, but it was not suitable for her to use. She then walked out.
When she reached the entrance of the Heavenly Secret Hall, she suddenly looked back and smiled, "You better not get injured in the future."
Lu Ye's face darkened, "That's boring …"
After Hua Ci left, Lu Ye put away the Breath Fruit Core and lowered his head to check his Battlefield Imprint.
Name: Lu Ye
Identity: Disciple of the Jade Blood Sect
Cultivation: Eighty-six apertures
Location: Spirit Stream Battlefield
Merit points: 5,352.
The number of merit points on the screen was shocking. There were more than 5,000 merit points. Just the Earth Core Fire alone was enough to buy more than 20 sets. Of course, this was also related to the 4,400 merit points that he had previously given himself.
But even without that monthly salary, he still had nearly a thousand merit points.
And all of this was earned by killing in the Chess Sea. With his Sixth Order cultivation, participating in the Battle of Spirit Stream Battlefield was too advantageous for him. He could casually kill a Seventh Order cultivator and earn fourteen merit points.
Sure enough, a horse would not get fat if it did not feed at night. He would have to participate in more of such good things in the future.
The change in his cultivation was not big. Compared to before he participated in the Battle of Spirit Stream Battlefield, he had only opened two more apertures. The main reason was that in that environment, it was difficult to maintain a perfect state of Spirit Energy. Without a perfect state, there was no way to cultivate. All of the Spirit Energy he had devoured was used to recover.
But it did not matter. Now that the World Energy was twice as rich as before, his cultivation efficiency would definitely be greatly improved.
Now that Lu Ye was rich, he did not have to worry about merit points in the short term. He had enough cultivation resources. He entered the Tian Ji Treasure House and bought ten Earth Core Fires, spending two thousand merit points.
It was not that he could not buy more, but now that he had the Breath Fruit Core, he had another way to spend his merit points. There was no harm in keeping some as backup.
Lu Ye excitedly walked towards his personal training room with ten portions of Earth Core Fire in hand.
On the way, he met many people, who all stopped to salute him.
There was someone called Fifth Senior Brother. He was a disciple of the Sect. Although Li Baxian was a disciple of the Pill Heart Sect, he would always have a place in the Blue Blood Sect. He was ranked fourth, so Lu Ye was naturally ranked fifth. The sixth was Hua Ci, the seventh was Kong Niu, the eighth was Yi Yi, and the ninth was Ruan Lingyu.
There was also someone called Envoy Lu. He was a Rogue Cultivator under the Sect.
The Sect was obviously more lively than before. Not even half a person could be seen.
After entering his personal cultivation room, Lu Ye sat cross-legged and took out the Earth Core Fires, allowing the Talent Tree to devour them.
With the disappearance of the Earth Core Fires, the leaves on the Talent Tree began to burn. On average, each Earth Core Fire could ignite one leaf.
By the time all the Earth Core Fires disappeared, there were as many as fourteen leaves burning on the Talent Tree. Lu Ye had never ignited so many leaves at once. So far, he had only obtained four Spirit Tattoos from the Talent Tree.
Looking at the burning leaves, Lu Ye's heart was burning. The things on these leaves were all extremely precious treasures.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Ye resolutely looked at the fifth leaf.
Unexpectedly, he did not feel too uncomfortable this time.
Not long after, Lu Ye opened his eyes with a strange expression.
The situation was a little different from what he had imagined. Although the fifth leaf also contained a Spirit Tattoo, it was different from the previous four. Whether it was the Sharpness, Defense, or Spirit Gathering Bloodstain, they all had a very obvious focus. They were either offensive, defensive, or auxiliary.
However, the fifth Spirit Tattoo was an extremely special Spirit Tattoo. It could not be used by itself. In other words, even if Lu Ye constructed it, it would not be of any use.
It was a Spirit Tattoo with a linking property. Simply put, it could link different Spirit Tattoos together and let these different Spirit Tattoos work at the same time.
Rather than calling it a Spirit Tattoo, it was better to call it a technique.
Lu Ye had seen this technique before.
There were nine spiritual inscriptions on the Pan Mountain Saber. Seven of them were used to strengthen the saber, while the other two were used to increase its lethality. These nine spiritual inscriptions were connected with each other through a special technique, allowing all the spiritual inscriptions to become a single entity that could perform their own functions.
In the past, he was very interested in this ingenious technique, but he never had the time to study it. Moreover, with his attainments in the Dao of Spirit Tattoos, even if he studied it, he would not be able to find anything.
Only now did he know that in addition to the Spirit Tattoos that could perform various functions, there was also something that could link different Spirit Tattoos.
After recovering for a moment, Lu Ye began to investigate the sixth leaf. It was another connecting spirit pattern, but it was very different from the one on the fifth leaf. From the looks of it, the connecting method between different spirit patterns was also different, requiring different techniques.
It was only on the seventh leaf that Lu Ye obtained a Spirit Tattoo that could work by itself.
He continued to examine it one by one. When he was tired, he would resume his cultivation. In any case, he did not need to deliberately cultivate here. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was constantly flowing into his body under the effect of the Spirit Gathering Funnel. The Spirit Pills he swallowed were also ground into Spiritual Qi under the Gluttonous Meal. It could be said that as long as he sat here, switched his cultivation method to the Gluttonous Meal, and then constructed Spirit Gathering Spirit Tattoos in his Spiritual Apertures, his strength would constantly increase. Of course, he still needed to take the initiative to break through the barriers of his Spiritual Apertures.
