"Senior Brother, don't be in a hurry to leave. It's rare for you to come back, so I still have some things to ask you."
Li Baxian smiled and raised his hand to touch his Battlefield Imprint. "Send me a message at any time."
"Second Senior Sister seems to have made a lot of delicious food."
"I haven't seen the old man in a long time. Since I'm back, I should go visit him."
With that, Li Baxian strode towards the Divination Hall.
Lu Ye gave Hua Ci a look, and Hua Ci followed with Yiyi and Giant Beetle.
After a short while, they returned to the Nine States Main Sect through the Divine Secret Pillar.
Lu Ye stayed behind and raised his hand to press the Divine Secret Pillar.
After running around for so long and plundering blessings from the Divine Secret Pillar of the Myriad Demon Ridge encampment, it was finally time to reap the rewards.
This kind of blessings could only be converted into a corresponding amount of sect merit points on the Divine Secret Pillar. With his experience in the Chess Sea, Lu Ye was very familiar with this.
With his authority as a Guardian, he checked the number of sect merit points on the Divine Secret Pillar.
It was only a little over two thousand points.
There was only one type of blessings on the Divine Secret Pillar, and that was to increase the Spirit Qi of the encampment. There were nineteen of these blessings, and each one could increase the Spirit Qi of the encampment by 10%. Including the 10% bonus provided by the Divine Secret Pillar itself, the Spirit Qi of the Jade Blood Sect encampment was now two times worse than in the wild.
If the Spirit Qi concentration in the wild was one, then the Spirit Qi concentration in the Jade Blood Sect encampment was three.
He used to think that the Spirit Qi of the Jade Blood Sect encampment was quite rich, but after visiting the encampments of the other major sects, Lu Ye found that the Spirit Qi of the Jade Blood Sect was nothing.
With a thought, the blessings that he had plundered from the Battlefield Imprint shattered one after another, turning into specks of fluorescent light that fell into the Divine Pillar. For a moment, the entire Divine Pillar seemed to be surrounded by fireflies that blotted out the sky and covered the earth.
The number that was displayed on the Tianji Pillar that represented the sect's contribution points was also changing at an extremely exaggerated speed.
50,000, 100,000, 200,000, 500,000, 1,000,000, 2,000,000, 3,000,000 …
Lu Ye didn't know if other sects' Tian Ji Pillars had such an exaggerated amount of sect merit points, but in the outer circle and even the inner circle, there was absolutely no sect that had such a terrifying amount. As for the core circle, it was hard to say.
If an ordinary Ninth Order cultivator was worth nine merit points, what kind of concept was three million merit points? This meant that with Lu Ye's current cultivation, he would have to kill a total of 333,333 people …
This number was very terrifying. Although Lu Ye had killed many people from the Myriad Devil Ridge, it was far from a fraction of this number.
Of course, the source of merit points was not just from killing enemies. Previously, he could also obtain merit points by dealing with the insect horde. Selling items in the Tianji Treasury also gave merit points. There were also some other uncommon methods.
But to the general public, killing enemies was the most common way to earn merits.
In the end, the number of sect merit points was fixed at 3.1 million.
It was not outrageous to have such an exaggerated number. One had to know that the first coalition led by Lu Ye had destroyed more than a hundred Myriad Devil Ridge bases. Except for the first three bases, which Lu Ye did not plunder, he had a share of the remaining bases.
Because the coalition was led by Lu Ye, his share was larger than everyone else's, at most ten percent and at least five percent.
The sects in the inner circle had developed for many years, so the number of blessings on their Divine Secret Pillars was extremely large. Under such plundering, how could his harvest be poor?
The number of bases destroyed by the second coalition was smaller, but there were still twenty or thirty of them.
Especially in the final battle against Golden Cloud Tower, Lu Ye had taken all the blessings for himself.
Many a little makes a mickle, which was why he had such an exaggerated harvest.
After running around for so long, and even learning that the Divine Sea Realm masters of the two sides had begun to discuss peace, Lu Ye had begun to open up the second battlefield precisely for this moment.
It was enough, and there was a lot of wealth.
Lu Ye was not in a hurry to increase the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth in the sect. Instead, he directly used his authority as a guardian to give himself a monthly salary.
In the past, he had thought that the monthly salary was related to the total number of sect merit points and could not exceed ten percent of the total number. Later, he realized that it was also related to his own contributions. If he did not contribute enough, no matter how many sect merit points he had, he would not be able to obtain any benefits.
That was why he had been able to give himself and Hua Ci a monthly salary so smoothly. It was because those merit points were obtained by him and Hua Ci in the Chess Sea.
With 3.1 million merit points, he could only give out 310,000 merit points at most. With a thought, the battlefield mark on the back of Lu Ye's hand immediately heated up, as if a soldering iron had been branded on the back of his hand.
This burning sensation came quickly and left quickly, disappearing in an instant.
Lu Ye checked his merit points and confirmed that he had obtained 310,000 merit points. Only then did he start to increase the Spirit Qi of his base.
The more blessings one bought from the Tian Ji Pillar, the more expensive it would be. Each one cost 500 merit points more than the previous one. When Lu Ye had bought the first one, it had only cost 500 merit points, but if he wanted to buy another one now, it would cost him 10,000 merit points.
The proportion of Spirit Qi increased would not change, so in the later stages of a base's development, if one wanted to increase the density of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi, they would have to spend an enormous amount of merit points. It could even be said that the development of a base was like a bottomless pit.
Lu Ye did not mind. He immediately used the sect's contribution points to purchase the items. His remaining 2,790,000 contribution points decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye. The Heaven's Fate Pillar was also constantly twisting and changing. Numerous cracking sounds could be heard coming from within.
Inside the base, the cultivators of the Blue Blood Sect were still immersed in the joy of Lu Ye's triumphant return when suddenly, the world changed.
For some reason, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi in the entire base became extremely abnormal. Before the cultivators could investigate the source of this abnormality, the sky above the base began to churn, followed by a large expanse of dark clouds rapidly condensing.
These dark clouds were like thick cotton wool, blocking the sunlight shining down from the sky, as if a giant shadow beast was slowly pressing down from the sky.
The oppressive feeling caused the disciples of the Blue Blood Sect to panic, but what frightened them even more was that the already thick dark clouds were becoming even thicker and denser.
At this moment, Vice Guardian Gu Yang hurriedly walked out of his residence and looked up. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly sent a message to Lu Ye while taking out the jade pendant that controlled the grand array and hurriedly withdrew it.
No matter what this abnormality was, if he did not withdraw the defensive grand array, when the dark clouds descended, the grand array would most likely collapse.
A moment later, he rushed into the Tian Ji Hall and anxiously said, "Fifth Senior Brother, it's not good. Quickly go out and take a look."
Lu Ye, who had been standing here buying blessings until he lost his patience, turned his head and asked, "Hm?"
"I don't know why, but there are some strange phenomena in the sky."
Lu Ye frowned and flashed out of the Tian Ji Hall. After looking up for a moment, he waved his hand to Gu Yang and said, "It's fine."
He then walked into the Tian Ji Hall and continued to buy blessings.
Gu Yang was a little dumbfounded. Such an obvious phenomenon of heaven and earth, as if doomsday was coming, how could it be fine?
However, if Fifth Senior Brother said it was fine, then … it was fine?
He comforted the cultivators of the sect as he walked into the Tian Ji Hall. Immediately, he heard a dense crackling sound.
He slowly walked to Lu Ye's side and asked suspiciously, "Fifth Senior Brother, what are you doing?"
He used to be a Loose Cultivator and had not been the Vice Guardian for long, so he naturally did not know anything about this.
"Come, buy it. You can familiarize yourself with it." Lu Ye raised his hand and gestured for Gu Yang to stand in his position.
Gu Yang did as he was told. When he checked the number representing the sect's merit points on the Tian Ji Pillar, his eyes almost popped out.
He could not believe it and carefully counted again to confirm that he was not mistaken.
He turned his head to look at Lu Ye as if to confirm.
"Buy it!"
"Oh." Gu Yang hurriedly did as he was told.
* Kacha … *
A dense crackling sound came from inside the Tian Ji Pillar again.
Lu Ye also raised his hand and pressed it on the Tian Ji Pillar. His mind was connected to the Tian Ji Treasury. Soon, he found what he was looking for.
It was a rare elixir that could only be bought in the Tian Ji Treasury. Even the Tian Ji Merchant Union did not have it. The value of each elixir was as high as one hundred and fifty thousand merit points!
He had investigated this elixir before and was shocked by its high price. He thought that it would be difficult for him to gather enough merit points to buy this elixir. His original plan was to continuously accumulate merit points and one day, he would have enough. However, his trip to the Inner Circle had allowed him to quickly accumulate enough merit points.
He had to thank the sects that had their encampments destroyed in the Myriad Demon Ridge!
There were not many of these elixirs in the Tian Ji Treasury. There were only eight of them in total. According to Second Senior Sister, when she was still at the Spirit Stream Battlefield, there were still more than thirty of these elixirs. However, as time passed, more and more people bought these elixirs from here, and the number gradually decreased.
No one knew where these elixirs came from because no one in the Nine Provinces could refine them.
There were many treasures in the Tian Ji Treasury that were difficult to obtain or refine for cultivators of the Nine Provinces. Some people speculated that these things were left behind by the cultivation world of the previous era. Therefore, the more they were used, the fewer they became.
One elixir was worth one hundred and fifty thousand merit points. Lu Ye did not even bat an eyelid and directly bought two of them.
His originally rich merit points had shrunk to a fraction. However, even if it was a fraction, it was still more than ten thousand merit points.
Retracting his mind, Lu Ye took out two ancient wooden boxes of unknown age. Lu Ye opened them and checked. After confirming that the elixirs inside were not damaged, he carefully put them away.
"Fifth Senior Brother, I can't buy them anymore." Gu Yang's voice came.
Lu Ye pressed his hand on the Tian Ji Pillar and checked the sect's merit points. Originally, there were 2.79 million merit points. Now, there were only four hundred thousand left.
As for the Tian Ji Pillar, there were a total of ninety-nine spirit qi blessings!
Lu Ye tried to buy them and found that it was as Gu Yang said.
"Ninety-nine spirit qi blessings is really the limit." Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. He had heard from Li Baxian that the Outer Circle's Tian Ji Pillar should have ninety-nine spirit qi blessings. However, since ancient times, no Outer Circle sect had been able to buy their Tian Ji Pillar to this extent. Therefore, no one could say for sure whether it was true or not.
