Lu Ye observed for a while and noticed that the reduction of merit points was very slow. At this rate, if he continued cultivating for a day or night, he would not spend more than 5000 merit points.
5000 merit points was naturally nothing to Lu Ye, but a cultivator's cultivation was not a matter of a day or two, but years and months.
5000 merit points a day, that would be 150,000 merit points a month, and 1,800,000 merit points a year. This number was somewhat terrifying.
The richness of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi was comparable to that of the Grade A Spiritual Land in Huitian Valley.
Lu Ye naturally would not be satisfied with such an environment, and immediately moved his mind.
In the next moment, the World Energy gushing out from the whirlpool suddenly became denser, and correspondingly, the reduction of merit points also became faster.
Using one's merit points to open a whirlpool that could gush out dense World Energy, this was a cultivation method unique to cultivators above the True Lake Stage.
In the Nine Continents, this cultivation method was known as Borrowing Heaven's Secrets.
During this process, the amount of World Energy gushing out from the vortex could be adjusted as one wished. The price one had to pay was nothing more than the speed at which one's contribution points were reduced. The denser the World Energy drawn from the vortex, the faster one's contribution points would be reduced. Conversely, it was extremely convenient.
Depending on the speed of the consumption of merit points, this cultivation method was divided into different levels.
What Lu Ye needed to do now was to find a level that was most suitable for him.
The higher the level, the denser the World Energy, the faster the speed of cultivation.
Everyone had their own limits. If the density of the World Energy exceeded the cultivator's refining speed, then there would be unnecessary wastage.
No one's merit points came from the wind. But if the density of the World Energy was slower than the cultivator's refining speed, then it would imperceptibly reduce the cultivator's cultivation efficiency.
Normally, cultivators who had just entered the True Lake Stage would choose the most basic first level, because this was enough to satisfy their cultivation needs.
But this was obviously not suitable for Lu Ye.
He had constructed many small funnels around him, and his refining speed of the World Energy was much faster than ordinary True Lake Stage cultivators.
The second level was also not enough.
Only when the World Energy gushing out from the whirlpool was adjusted to the third level, did Lu Ye feel that it was enough. This level was usually chosen by cultivators above the True Lake Stage Sixth Order.
As for the higher levels, that was something that only advanced True Lake Stage cultivators could do.
After that, there were levels suitable for Divine Sea Realm cultivators. Of course, the higher the level, the greater the consumption.
Lu Ye checked the rate at which his merit points were being consumed. It was about twice as fast as before.
In other words, if he were to maintain such a cultivation environment, then he would have to spend 10,000 merit points a day and night, which would be 300,000 merit points a month.
Of course, he wouldn't be able to cultivate for a long time, but even if he only cultivated for half a month, it would still cost him 150,000 merit points.
Lu Ye had a lot of merit points. When he found out about the cultivation method of the True Lake Stage from Shui Yuan, he specially went to the Jade Blood Sect's treasure house to sell some items to the Tian Ji Treasure House. This allowed him to amass a total of 500,000 merit points.
Previously, he had bought some meat for the two of them, so he still had about four hundred and eighty thousand left.
This was not a small number, but it could at most support Lu Ye's cultivation for two or three months. At that time, he would have to return to the Blue Blood Sect again.
It wasn't a troublesome matter.
Such a cultivation method was undoubtedly very convenient.
Cultivators of the Nine Continents True Lake Stage and above, no matter where they were, could connect to Tian Ji and open a whirlpool, creating a suitable cultivation environment for themselves. This way, they would have fewer restrictions. It was unlike the Spirit Stream Battlefield and the Cloud River Battlefield, where they had to be in their own sect's encampment or spiritual land to enjoy such convenience.
Moreover, they could stop at any time, so it wouldn't cause too much waste.
This was incomparable to using spirit sticks to cultivate. Using spirit sticks to cultivate, once it started, it couldn't be stopped.
Therefore, merit points were extremely important to any cultivator, especially those in the big sects. Only with enough merit points could cultivators of the True Lake Stage and above continuously increase their cultivation, strengthening the foundation of the big sects.
Previously, the Blue Blood Sect had very few people. The sect was desolate and there was almost no income. Therefore, even with Shui Yuan's outstanding talent, she couldn't step into the Divine Sea Stage.
This was because there was no way to obtain merit points. It wasn't until Lu Ye gave her the Soul Cleansing Water and brought great benefits to the sect that Shui Yuan soared. Because she had sufficient resources, she didn't have to worry about cultivation anymore.
The inheritance of a big sect required unity from top to bottom. Those at the top protected those at the bottom, while those at the bottom worked hard to grow, they also created and brought wealth to the sect. They relied on each other and shared glory and disgrace.
Lu Ye didn't try to see what the fourth level of cultivation environment was like. To him, since the current cultivation environment was enough to satisfy his cultivation needs, if he chose the next level of cultivation environment, there would be unnecessary waste.
Beside him, Yiyi and Hu Po had already started cultivating. He seemed to have nothing to do. He simply took out the Fire Spirit Rock and activated the power of the Talent Tree to continuously devour it.
The Fire Spirit Rock contained extremely pure fire spiritual energy, which was the power that the Talent Tree craved. Although the benefits that a piece of Fire Spirit Rock brought to the Talent Tree were far less than a lump of Fire Spirit Rock.
But he also thought that once the number of S-grade questions was enough, it would be enough to solve many problems.
Very quickly, the Fire Spirit Rock in his hand was exhausted and turned into powder. Lu Ye hurriedly took out another piece.
As time passed, his merit points and the Fire Spirit Rock were constantly consumed.
Although the cultivation process was monotonous, Lu Ye didn't feel bored because he was looking forward to it. He really wanted to know what the Talent Tree would look like after this transformation.
However, he didn't forget his duty as a patrol officer. Since he had received his monthly salary, he naturally had to fulfill his duties. So, he would take out two hours every day to patrol around with Yiyi and Hu Po.
Even though he knew that this was purely a formality …
Two days later, while Lu Ye was cultivating, he suddenly felt the battlefield mark on the back of his hand heat up slightly.
He quickly immersed himself in investigating.
Name: Lu Yiye.
Identity: Blue Blood Sect disciple, Great Moon Pass Ash Flame Mountain Pass Guard, Great Moon Pass Ash Flame Mountain Pass Patrol Guard.
Cultivation: First-Order True Lake Realm. Location: Ash Flame Mountain Pass, War Province.
Merit: 465,632 points.
Military Merit: 394,650 points. Lu Ye was stunned. He took a closer look to make sure that he wasn't seeing things. The Military Merit column was indeed more than 390,000 points.
How could this be?
He clearly remembered that his Military Merit should be 88,400-10 points. In the past few days, he had been cultivating in Ash Flame Mountain Pass and patrolling around. He hadn't done anything else, so how could he suddenly have more than 300,000 Military Merit?
Such a huge amount of Military Merit could only be compared to the harvest in Immortal Essence City. At that time, he also obtained 300,000 Military Merit, but that was from killing the Insect Race. It was a merit that could be traced back.
So, what was this 300,000 Military Merit all about?
Lu Ye wasn't happy. Instead, he felt that something was wrong.
The Heaven's Secret was known to be fair and just. Previously, the Missing Moon Immortal had given him a bunch of random tasks. It seemed like she was tormenting him, but in fact, she was trying to find a way to increase his Military Merit. Lu Ye felt that such a method was inappropriate. Sooner or later, something would happen.
Suddenly, he had more than 300,000 Military Merit. This was the prelude to something big!
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye had some guesses in his heart. If things were as he thought, it might be fine, but if things weren't as he thought, then it would be troublesome.
He hurriedly stopped his cultivation and flashed out of the bamboo building to look for the Missing Moon Immortal.
After searching for a long time, he couldn't find her. He didn't know where she had run off to.
Helpless, he could only contact her through Wei Ling.
There was still no reply. Just as Lu Ye was at his wit's end, this woman suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost. Looking at her posture, it seemed like she had fought with someone not long ago. Her hair was a little disheveled.
The corner of Lu Ye's eyes twitched. He immediately understood what she had done.
Clearly, she had gone to find trouble with Wan Zhang Gang. He didn't know if she had taken advantage of him.
"What is it?" The Missing Moon Immortal spoke, her expression still as cold as ice.
"My Lord, this humble servant suddenly has an additional Military Merit. This is a good thing. Is there a problem? "
"The amount is too large. This humble servant is uneasy." The Missing Moon Immortal immediately understood what he was worried about. He was afraid that she had used her authority to give him Military Merit.
"You deserve it. Don't worry."
Lu Ye frowned: "My Lord, please explain!" The Missing Moon Immortal explained slowly: "Wan Mo Ridge's Lone Mountain City was attacked by the Fire Spirit Race. The losses were not small. You were the one who lured the Fire Spirit Race over, so the Military Merit naturally belongs to you. On top of that, you saved my life, which is another great merit. A few days ago, I asked Tian Ji to reward you for your merit, so this is what you deserve. "
Lu Ye was stunned: "The Fire Spirit Race attacking Lone Mountain City is also my merit?"
"Why not?"
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. The Fire Spirit Race was created by him, Ying Wuji, and the others, and they led the Fire Spirit Race to the Lone Mountain Pass. Because of this, the Lone Mountain Pass suffered a great loss. Relatively speaking, they had contributed to the Grand Heaven Alliance.
With his True Lake Stage cultivation, he used all sorts of methods to save the Missing Moon Immortal under the eyes of three Spirit Sea Stage cultivators. This was an even greater merit.
If this matter was reported to Grand Heaven City, there would definitely be rewards.
However, the Missing Moon Immortal knew that Lu Ye should not be too ostentatious now. Therefore, she only asked Tian Ji to reward him with Military Merit. She did not report this matter to Grand Heaven City.
"How much Military Merit did they give you?" The Missing Moon Immortal did not want to ask, but she could not resist her curiosity.
"More than three hundred thousand!" Lu Ye reported honestly.
"Not bad." The Missing Moon Immortal said indifferently. She turned and left. However, there was a trace of shock in her eyes.
She knew that Lu Ye's harvest this time would not be small. However, she did not expect it to be so much.
Tian Ji seemed to favor this little guy?
