407 Ten Thousand Form Lightning (2/2)
Zong Shou was speechless, shaking his head once more, ”Who says I used external items? Spiritual cultivation apart from your few spiritual seeds, I have never used any external help. Speaking of which, you seem to be a little disrespectful today…”
Not using external help wasn't a lie. Although he had the dragon essence and lightning phoenix essence energy, the spirit salamander essence blood but most of it was to strengthen his physical body.
That Zhao Yanran exclaimed and was dumbfounded. He didn't use external items, how was that possible? How did this Zong Shou not use external powers and form 2 talismans within just 1 day?
In other words, the fellow in front of him didn't rely on external help, using just 2 years to go from grade 1 spirit master to the peak of grade 6 Return to Sun realm!
He also even awakened the Lu family sky burning bloodline to such a level!
Suddenly she felt regretful, only sensing that the mental connection between the 2 of them was getting closer and closer. That seed within Zong Shou's body was like a dense spiderweb that would wrap tightly over her such that she wouldn't be able to get out.
At the start, although she was filled with a fighting spirit, she was a little arrogant.
Forcefully suppressing the shock in her heart, Zhao Yanran realized that she was indeed a little out of place.
She asked curiously, ”Then what is with your maidservant? Although her cultivation isn't much, her fighting intuition is surprisingly strong. Her talisman methods are a total mess but in terms of the martial path she is actually on the same level as me…”
Zong Shou smiled, this Zhao Yanran was asking so many questions today.
”Have you heard of something called the combat martial body?”
One word shook Zhao Yanran so much that she got distracted. Zong Shou was lazy to waste more time with her and he directly asked, ”Do you know how we can earn merit points in the common people path?”
Zhao Yanran was at a loss, combat martial body, this was a body that was no weaker than the top talents of the world!
Legend had it that a person like that would have a combat intuition was scarily strong. Even during the cloud desolate era it was one of the god bodies and craved by the numerous sects.
Speaking of which that little brat had given off some signs at the start, her intuition was scarily strong. Zong Shou also placed so much emphasis on this girl.
Why didn't she notice this before?
It wasn't until Zong Shou impatiently waved his hands in front of her face did she come back to her senses. She thought back carefully, searching her soul to remember what Zong Shou had asked just now.
”The methods to earn merit points in our common people path is really simple, help the sect kill and you will be able to earn much merit points. But within this vast habitat, it is a little problematic. One method is to refine pills and refine artifacts. The other way is to help teachers lecture or help and nurture people from the same sect. The last sect would be to use other cultivation methods or books of value to exchange with the sect.”
Zong Shou had an idea and thought about his nine types of true dragon sword techniques. As a grade 7 cultivation method, it could be exchanged for 7 thousand points.
In the next moment, he heard Zhao Yanran say expressionlessly, ”There is also an even simpler way. Has your highness heard of the border river?”
...
The so called border river was also called the spirit river. It wasn't a real river but within the barriers separating spaces, there would often be huge spiritual wave surging and flowing. As the spiritual energy was extremely bountiful, pretty much able to gather and turn into physical form, which was why it was known as the spirit river.
However such huge amounts of spiritual energy would naturally attract some things. Good and bad were all gathered together. Some special beasts, demons and monsters, various evil and dark beasts all mixed together.
Some evil beings with special abilities could even forcefully break their way through space barriers and get into the cloud world.
What Zhao Yanran said about the easiest method would be to repress that border river. The sect had specific merit point missions to stop and hunt evil beings. It was said that one grade 6 evil being would provide a hundred merit points. Apart from that one could obtain materials from killing all sorts of beasts and demons which they could either use for themselves or sell to the sect in exchange for points.
Sometimes when one was lucky, one might even obtain special treasures unique to the spirit river.
The common people path had a Merit Hall where the sect published out missions and disciples obtain their mission rewards. Before Zong Shou left, he specially came to this place to take a look and find out more about it.
As expected, there was one about suppressing the border river. However, to accept this mission one at least had to be the peak of grade 6 which Zong Shou and Zong Yuan barely reached.
However, the rewards were really great. 20 hours and one could obtain 100 merit points. Behind there was a long list which wrote the merit points one could get from killing these evil beings. It also recorded the features of these beasts and evil beings, their strengths and also their weaknesses.
There were a total of 4 thousand of them, and there were also many which were question marks with only pictures. It was obvious that the people of the common people path still didn't recognize the background of these evil beings.
Zong Shou took a close look several times before patiently memorizing them all. Only then did he proceed towards that border river together with Zong Yuan.
Just by walking south from this common people vast habitat and they would enter a place where the spiritual energy here was exceptionally thick.
There was no mountain or water around, only a piece of darkness. He couldn't touch the ground beneath him and they could only travel in the air.
Zong Shou gathered spiritual energy in his eyes before he could barely see something. However, what he saw in front of him was emptiness.
