An hour later, Carnivorous Holy Flower killed all the Saints of h.e.l.l Blade Field and Purple Mansion Field. It returned to Zhang Ruochen’s side and tossed a dozen storage bags on the ground.

Zhang Ruochen poured out everything from those bags. It all piled into a small mountain on the ground.

Merely looking at the bottles containing blood and soul remnants, there were already around 700 or 800.

Looking at those bottles from the side, Qing Mo was shocked. Her sparkling eyes rolled. “They really killed so many Saints? Shouldn’t we be trying to defeat the Luosha together?”

“Who told you we’re at the merits battleground to defeat the Luosha?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“Are we not?”

Qing Mo widened her eyes. She was very confused. Did she mishear the order before entering Zuling Field?

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “We came to the merits battleground to fight for more merits.”

Qing Mo was even more confused. “Don’t we gain more merits by killing the Luosha cultivators?”

“How can gaining merits by killing Luosha be as fast as killing other partic.i.p.ants?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t know how to describe his current emotions. Qing Mo had practiced with him for a while, but she was still so naïve. With her lack of calculatedness, it was a feat that she’d survived on the battleground for close to a month.

Qing Mo fell silent. She rested her chin in her hands as if pondering.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t feel like explaining to her anymore. He began counting his loot.

There were 1,070,000 drops of blood, including 840 drops from Luosha marquises.

There were 2,400,000 soul remnants, including 1,350 from Luosha marquises.

Combined with the bottles that Zhang Ruochen had received before, he now had blood from 3,000 marquises and souls from 2,500 marquises. The blood and souls from Luosha below the marquis level were even more countless.

In addition, he collected more than 2,000 more drops of Ning True Saint Dew and large amounts of healing pills, saint weapons, and rune scrolls.

Zhang Ruochen gave all the saint weapons to the Abyss Ancient Sword, including the two Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapons from Absolute Saints Yanju and Yumu. The sword could refine them and improve itself.

On the other hand, the roots of the Holy Carnivorous Flower had fully extended. It rooted inside the corpses of the h.e.l.l Blade Field and Purple Mansion Field Saints, absorbing their power and blood. It tried to reach the Absolute Saint Realm.

Its vines, leaves, and fruits all shone with green saintly light. It seemed to have turned into a jade tendril.

If the flower reached the Absolute Saint Realm, it would immediately become a top figure of the Saint King Realm. It could also help Zhang Ruochen greatly.

Thus, Zhang Ruochen decided to give it one day and night to have a breakthrough.

Zhang Ruochen sat below the Holy Carnivorous Flower. He took out a bottle of Ning True Saint Dew and drank it. He used a technique to absorb it and continued to refine the Rules of Saintly Way, stabilizing his new level.

The Rules of Saintly Way consolidating was only the first step.

He had to continue condensing them until it became real. That would be truly reaching the peak of the Saint Realm.

That level was the Absolute Saint Realm.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen was still very far away from the Absolute Saint Realm.

According to his estimates, he would need to refine at least 5,000 drops of Ning True Saint Dew to even reach the middle of the True Saint Realm. If he wanted to reach the later stage, he would need double the amount.

Qing Mo had squatted there without moving. Seeming to understand what Zhang Ruochen had said earlier, she shot up and yelled, “I got it!”

Zhang Ruochen’s Holy Qi was disturbed by her. Immediately stopping condensing the Rules of Saintly Way, he said, “What are you freaking out about?”

Qing Mo was very happy. “I get it! It’s like how you immediately received large amounts of blood and souls by killing the dozen h.e.l.l Blade Field and Purple Mansion Field Saints. It means you received a large number of merits too. Right, collecting merits like this is indeed many times faster than me killing those Luosha cultivators alone.”

Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes. Suppressing the power darting around his body and calming himself down, he finally said, “It took you that long to figure out something so simple?”

“That’s the fastest way to take merits, right?” Qing Mo asked.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “No.”

Qing Mo was taken aback. “There’s an even faster way?”

“Stealing from other partic.i.p.ants is indeed a fast way to collect blood and souls from Luosha,” Zhang Ruochen said. “But each person has limited abilities. The four worlds of Zuling Field are so vast and all the Saints are spread apart. How many people can you really steal from?”

Qing Mo tugged at her hair lightly as she thought carefully. “What do you mean?”

Zhang Ruochen had a headache. If she was the Saint Lady, she would probably already understand his underlying meaning. But it just had to be Qing Mo before him now.

They were both Heavenly Maidens. How could they be so different?

“Who killed the most partic.i.p.ants in Zuling Field?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“You,” Qing Mo replied without even thinking.

Zhang Ruochen glared at her. “I mean, which force?”

“The h.e.l.l Blade Field and Purple Mansion Field?” Qing Mo asked.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “No, it’s the Luosha.”
