Lu Ye observed it and found that the merit points were decreasing very slowly. At this rate, if one continued to practice for a day and night, the merit points spent would not exceed 5,000 points.
Five thousand points of merit are nothing to Lu Ye, but a monk's practice is not something that happens in a day or two, but takes years and months.
Five thousand a day means 150,000 a month, and 1.8 million a year. This number is a bit scary.
The richness of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, if compared, is already comparable to the environment in the Grade A spiritual land of Huitian Valley.
Lu Ye would naturally not be satisfied with such an environment, even if his thoughts moved.
The next moment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth pouring out from the vortex suddenly became stronger, and correspondingly, the rate of reduction of meritorious deeds also became faster.
By consuming your own merits, you can open a vortex that can gush out the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is the unique practice method of the monks above the True Lake Realm.
Among Kyushu, this method of practice is called borrowing heaven's secrets.
In this process, the thickness of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that emerges from the vortex can be adjusted at will. The price paid is nothing more than the speed at which meritorious deeds are reduced. The richer the spiritual energy of heaven and earth drawn from the vortex, the faster the meritorious deeds are reduced.
The faster it is, the opposite is slower, which is extremely convenient.
Depending on the speed at which merit is consumed, this practice method is also divided into different levels.
What Lu Ye has to do now is to find a level that is most suitable for his practice.
It does not mean that the higher the level, the richer the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the faster the cultivation speed.
Everyone has their own limit. If the concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy exceeds the monk's own refining speed, unnecessary waste will occur.
No one’s meritorious deeds are brought about by strong winds.
However, if the concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is slower than the monk's own refining speed, it will invisibly reduce the monk's practice efficiency.
Normally, monks who first enter the True Lake Realm will choose this most basic first level, because it is enough to meet their cultivation needs.
But this obviously doesn't suit Lu Ye.
He has built many small spirit-gathering funnels around his body, and the speed of refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is much faster than that of the ordinary True Lake Realm.
The second level is not enough either.
It wasn't until the spiritual energy of heaven and earth pouring out of the vortex was adjusted to the third level that Lu Ye felt that it was almost done, and such a level was generally chosen by monks after the sixth level of Zhenhu.
As for the more advanced levels, they are exclusive to monks in the late stages of the True Lake Realm.
Further on, there are levels suitable for those who are major cultivators in the Divine Sea Realm. Of course, the higher the level, the greater the consumption.
Lu Ye paid attention to the consumption rate of his merits, which was about twice as fast as before.
In other words, if he maintains such a cultivation environment, he will consume 10,000 merits a day and night, which is 300,000 in a month.
Of course, practicing will definitely not last for a long time, but even if you only practice half of the time in a month, it will still be a waste of 150,000 merits.
Lu Ye had many meritorious deeds. When he learned about the cultivation methods of the True Lake Realm from Shuiyuan, he went to the Blue Blood Sect's treasure house to select some items and sold them to the Tianji Treasure House, collecting half a million meritorious deeds.
I bought some meat for the two dragons earlier, but now I still have about 480,000 left.
Such a number is not small, but it can only support Lu Ye's practice for two to three months at most, by which time he will have to return to the Blue Blood Sect again.
It's not really a troublesome thing.
This way of practicing is undoubtedly extremely convenient.
Monks above the Jiuzhou True Lake Realm, no matter where they are, no matter what time, can always connect with the heavenly secrets, open the vortex, and create a suitable cultivation environment for themselves. This way, there are many fewer limitations, unlike those on the Lingxi battlefield and Yun
He battlefield, you have to be in your own sect's residence or spiritual place to enjoy such convenience.
And it can be interrupted at any time without causing too much waste.
This is incomparable when practicing with the help of spiritual fortune sticks.
Once you start practicing with the help of spiritual fortune sticks, you cannot stop it at will.
Therefore, meritorious service is extremely important to any monk, especially those in large sects. Only with enough meritorious service can the monks above the True Lake Realm continuously improve their cultivation and strengthen the sect's heritage.
Before, the Blue Blood Sect had only a small population, and the sect was in depression, with almost no income. Therefore, even though Shui Yuan was extremely talented, he was still unable to enter the Divine Sea Realm.
It's because there is no way to obtain merit.
It wasn't until Lu Ye gave her soul-cleansing water and brought huge profits to the sect that Shuiyuan soared into the sky. Because she had sufficient material guarantees, she had no worries when practicing.
The inheritance of a large sect requires top-notch efforts. The superiors protect the people below. While the people below are working hard to grow, they are also creating and bringing wealth to the sect. They are dependent on each other and share weal and woe.
I have not tried what the fourth level of cultivation environment is like. For Lu Ye, since it is enough to meet his cultivation needs at the moment, if he chooses the next level of cultivation environment, there will inevitably be unnecessary waste.
Yiyi and Amber on the side have already started practicing.
He seemed to have nothing to do, so he simply took out the Fire Spirit Stone and activated the power of the talent tree to continuously devour it.
The fire spirit stone contains extremely pure fire spirit power, which is exactly the power that the talent tree desires. Although the benefits brought by a fire spirit stone to the talent tree are far less than a ball of earth core fire, the fire spirit harvested by Lu Ye this time
The number of spiritual stones is enough, which is enough to solve many problems.
Soon, the fire spirit stone in his hand ran out of energy and turned into powder. Lu Ye hurriedly took out another piece.
As time goes by, his own merits and fire spirit stones are constantly being consumed.
Although the training process was monotonous, Lu Ye did not feel bored because he had expectations in his heart. He wanted to know what the talent tree would look like after this transformation.
However, he did not forget that he was responsible for patrolling. Since he received a monthly salary, he should naturally perform his duties, so he would spend an hour every day to patrol around with Yiyi and Amber.
Although he also knew that this was just a formality...
Two days later, Lu Ye was practicing when he suddenly felt that the battlefield mark on the back of his hand was slightly warm.
He quickly immersed himself in the investigation.
Name: Lu Yiye.
Identity: A disciple of the Blue Blood Sect, sitting on the guard at Dayueguan Cangyan Mountain Pass, and patrolling the guard at Dayueguan Cangyan Mountain Pass.
Cultivation level: True Lake level one.
Location: Bingzhou Cangyan Mountain Pass.
Merit: 465,632 points.
Battle merit: three hundred and ninety-four thousand six hundred and fifty points.
Lu Ye was stunned and looked carefully to make sure that he was not deceived. The battle merit column was indeed over 390,000.
how come?
He clearly remembered that his combat merit should be 88,410 points. In the past few days, he had been staying at Cangyan Mountain Pass to practice, inspecting the four directions, and not doing anything else. How could it be for nothing?
More than 300,000 military exploits from extra land?
Such a huge amount of military exploits can only be compared with what he gained in Xianyuan City. He also received three hundred thousand military exploits that time, but that was done by killing the Insect Tribe, and it is a traceable achievement.
What's going on with these more than 300,000 battle merits?
Lu Ye was not happy, but felt that something was not right.
Tianji is said to be fair and impartial. Nian Yuexian assigned him some messy tasks before, seemingly to torment him, but in fact they were trying to find ways to improve his military exploits. Lu Ye felt that such an approach was inappropriate and something would happen sooner or later.
Suddenly there are more than 300,000 battle merits, this is the rhythm of something big happening!
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye had some conjectures in his mind. If things were as he thought, it might be fine, but if it wasn't as he thought, it would be troublesome.
He quickly stopped his practice and ducked out of the bamboo building to look for Nian Yuexian.
After searching for a long time, I couldn't find it, and I don't know where she went.
I had no choice but to contact her through Wei Ling.
There was still no reply. Just when Lu Ye was at his wits' end, this woman suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost. Judging from her posture, it looked like she had been in a fight with someone not long ago, and her hair was disheveled.
The corners of Lu Ye's eyes twitched, and he immediately understood what she had done.
Apparently he went to look for trouble with Wan Zhanggang, and I don't know if he took any advantage.
"What's the matter?" Nian Yuexian said, still looking as cold as ice.
"Sir, my humble position suddenly gained me a lot of military exploits."
"Good thing, what's the problem?"
"The number is too large, and the humble official is frightened."
Nian Yuexian immediately understood what he was worried about. It was due to some of the troubles he had made before, and he was afraid that this was a military achievement that he had used the authority of the pass master to give him.
"You deserve it, don't worry."
Lu Ye frowned: "Please explain, sir!"
Nian Yuexian then slowly explained: "We were attacked by the Fire Spirit Clan before the Gushan City Pass in Wanmo Ridge, and the losses were considerable. You were the one who led the Fire Spirit Clan there, so the credit will naturally go to you. In addition, you saved me.
My life is another great achievement, and I have asked heaven to reward you for your achievements a few days ago, so this is what you deserve."
Lu Ye was stunned: "The Fire Spirit Clan's attack on Gushan City Pass can be regarded as my contribution?"
"Why doesn't it count?"
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. He, Ying Wuji and others created the Fire Spirit Tribe together, and led them to the Gushan City Pass. As a result, they suffered heavy losses on the Gushan City Pass.
It can be regarded as a meritorious service to the Haotian Alliance.
And with the cultivation level of Zhenhu Realm, he used various means to rescue Nian Yuexian under the noses of the three enemies of Divine Sea Realm, which is even more credit to Po Tian.
If this matter is reported to Haotian City, there will be a reward there.
However, Nian Yuexian knew that Lu Ye should not be too ostentatious at the moment, so he only asked Tianji to grant him military exploits and did not report the previous events to Haotian City.
"How many battle achievements have I given you?" Nian Yuexian didn't want to ask at first, but couldn't resist his curiosity.
"More than three hundred thousand!" Lu Ye reported truthfully.
"Not bad." Nian Yuexian said lightly, turned around and left, but there was obviously some shock in his eyes.
She knew that Lu Ye would gain not much this time, but she didn't expect that there would be so much.
Tianji seems to have some affection for this little guy?
