Chapter 45 Formless Donations (1/2)
“Do you think anyone of us looks like an immortal?” I couldn't help but retort, “Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and tell us. Otherwise, we’ll go back and leave you alone here.”
“Don't do it, bros, please help me for the sake that I helped Zhou Yuan,” Long Fei hurriedly pulled us down. ”The mana of gods and immortals exists because of the faith and donations people give to us. You know that right?”
”Mm, yes, I do.” I nodded.
”But faith and donations cannot produce mana as they are created.” Long Fei explained to us. ”These donations first fill in a concrete idol or statue that people worship. After that, the meaning represented by these statues will gradually become pure and tangible, and then become the mana of immortals. As for those that have not become mana are still located inside the statues. Because they are invisible and intangible, they are known as Formless Donations. Each statue can hold an extremely large amount of them, but only a small percent of them can transform into mana, usually less than one percent. Only those great gods who receive a lot of donations have sufficient amount of Formless Donations to cultivate mana. ”
“About the Immortal Tying Rope, I fill it with Formless Donations which I originally planed to cultivate into my mana. Even so, I had been filling it for more than three years before I managed to get one.” Long Fei said in a pity. “It’s a pity that it was taken away from me the first time I used it, and it somehow exploded. If I made another one in the same way as before, I will wait at least three years before master Zhang Quan will help me plead for Avalokiteshvara, which sounds worse than death.”
Long Fei had a bitter face. I knew that it would truly be worse than death if he had to listen to Zhang Chi Hang’s endless ”enlightenment” for three years.
“You made it too complicated. My understanding is —” Liu Shuai thought for a moment, then expressed his opinion. “A statue is like a charge pal, and your mana is like a cellphone. You need this charge pal to charge it. People’s faith and donations are sources of electricity. A charge pal cannot charge a phone unless it is fully charged itself. You do not have many donations, so you cannot charge your phone fast, which means you cannot make a real Immortal Tying Rope. Am I correct?”
”Err …” I looked at Liu Shuai. A programmer’s thoughts were clearly different from others, but I had to admit that his analogy was very appropriate. Long Fei was startled for a moment, then nodded his head strongly, which gave me a signal that Liu Shuai's guess was correct.
”In that case, what's the use of the two of us? We don't seem to be able to help at all. ” I thought about it and wondered what it had to do with us.
Long Fei rubbed his hands in embarrassment, ”I know you have a special ability called 'Borrow Me Your Mana'.”
”Damn!” I suddenly felt as if everyone knew my secret. ”Who told you that? Forget it, I don't want to guess anymore. It's not surprising that the two people you know would tell you about it, but the thing is I can only borrow a limited amount of mama, not the Formless Donations in the statue. ”
”No need,” Long Fei said as he took out a book from his pocket, ”You only need to borrow a miraculous skill from this book and then transfer the Formless Donations from the statue into Immortal Tying Rope.”
Liu Shuai took the book, and once I saw the title, I immediately understood what Long Fei meant by a miraculous skill. It was called ”Stellar Transposition Technique”.
”Return the strength in the same way back to opponent?” Liu Shuai immediately reacted, his face was filled with disbelief. ”Li Long Fei, are you serious?”
”Of course.” Li Long Fei said with a serious face, ”Through my mana, Hao Ning is able to use Stellar Transposition Technique to transfer the Formless Donations from the statue to Immortal Tying Rope. It should be fast for us to get a new Immortal Tying Rope.”
“You only need Hao Ning,” Liu Shuai still had a questioning face. ”Why did you call me over?”
