Chapter 974

"Red Firmament Thunder Strike, one hundred great merits! What the hell, why is it so expensive?"

Liang Qu's stock of great merits was only sixty-eight, and counting the White Apes, he was still twelve short.

Moreover, the exchanged materials were not for circulation, and personal great merits could not be transferred, so each had to buy their own and couldn't be coordinated.

Killing a Jiang Zongshi earned about twenty great merits, and this thing required five Perfected Form lives!

Not to mention whether it could be done, whether there were that many Perfected Form people for you to kill was still a question!

"Because the effect is good."

Su Guishan rubbed the booklet open, his index finger pointing.

On the booklet, a purple jade was drawn alone. In the center of the purple jade, the golden patterns melted like a river, deriving an ancient thunder character.

"Red Firmament Thunder: Induces the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. Every day at the Yin hour, it induces a small amount of thunder arcs to wander through the nine orifices and thirty-six meridians, which can trigger the 'Thunder Body Forging Technique.' Thunder patterns enter the bones, or forge a Thunder-Eroded Body or Heavenly Thunder Body. It can also serve as an offensive means, with considerable power, nurtured and catalyzed by the Qi Sea and Qi blood.

Storage time limit: If nurtured properly, do not catalyze repeatedly in the short term; the jade is immortal, and the divine ability is immortal."

Liang Qu's heart jumped.

"Considerable power, how much power is that?"

"A normal Jiang Zongshi divine ability strike, which can also be catalyzed by a Hunting Tiger. In other words, if you are a Jiang Zongshi, you have one more divine ability than those in the same realm; if you are a Hunting Tiger, you have a divine ability that can be catalyzed repeatedly."

One hundred isn't expensive either.

His thoughts changed.

The Divine Ability Order was completely different from King Yue's jade plaque and the old monk's small order; it was completely a Jiang Zongshi fragment that could be reused!

Looking further down.

"Black Tortoise Mountain Suppressor: Turtle shell barrier, can withstand one strike of Red Firmament Thunder—"

"Shrinking the Earth into an Inch: Shuttle and move three miles, consuming very little, one hundred and twenty great merits."

One for storage, one for attack, one for defense, one for escape—only four types of divine ability orders, no more.

Strategic-level means!

Liang Qu's heart beat, as if he had glimpsed a corner of the turbulent future situation.

Generation after generation of Grandmasters died, all made into plaques—he couldn't imagine the foundation of the great powers! The number of Perfected Form people on the surface could no longer be directly compared for advantage!

Especially the Heavenly Human Grandmasters, whose Qi Sea was so vast that it was almost inexhaustible, and more than enough to catalyze multiple divine abilities.

Hanging two more divine ability orders, quantitative change could completely lead to qualitative change!

Divine Ability Orders required Jiang Zongshi corpses. Over time, advantages would accumulate. As long as it was guaranteed that secrets wouldn't leak within a certain period and others couldn't learn them, the Northern Court and Southern Frontier naturally wouldn't be opponents!

Would the imperial court deliberately provoke small-scale conflicts for this?

Forget it.

It had nothing to do with him.

Just let everyone pay attention and not become cannon fodder.

He suppressed his messy thoughts.

"How was it done?" Liang Qu was curious.

Making Grandmasters into props—is this the cutting-edge technology of a prosperous dynasty?

The torrent of history is rolling forward.

"This matter is a major secret. You are now considered a person with a name and surname, but until today, have you ever seen the face of the River Terrace Lord? I don't know how many spies are watching." Xu Yuelong spoke. "It is said that there are already better divine ability orders above,

but only the four types on the booklet are released for circulation in a small range. The last three are unique items. If you exchange for them first,

others won't be able to exchange for them, and it will be difficult to have them again in the future. After all, there aren't many with the same divine abilities."

"The golden-patterned bag, is it a dead space Jiang Zongshi?"

"Naturally, it is said that one divine ability was dismantled into hundreds of copies, otherwise, how would it be the turn of you and me, the various officials, princes, and clansmen."

He didn't expect that one day, he would be lucky enough to become an "internal test player."

The last three required too many great merits, and Liang Qu didn't have an urgent need.

"Are there no larger golden-patterned bags?"

Half-stone, one-stone.

Too small.

One stone of the Great Shun is about one hundred and fifty jin of rice.

Stone is a unit of volume, and jin is a unit of weight. Although this conversion is a bit strange, people are accustomed to it.

When carrying goods on the pier, volume containers are basically used. In this way, one weighing step can be directly saved,

greatly simplifying the process and saving the trouble of clicking the abacus beads, so volume units are popular. As for how big a unit is, it returns to the corresponding grain itself.

More than one hundred and fifty jin of rice, less than 0.1 cubic meters.

It's hard to stuff two adults in; it can only hold some personal items and elixirs.

"There are only two sizes that can be exchanged."

"Fine." Hearing the implication, Liang Qu didn't struggle too much. How many people want to exchange but can't? If you miss this village, there's no such shop. "Take two one-stone ones, one deducted from the White Ape's, one deducted from mine."

Clink, clink.

The sound of gold coins jumping seemed to ring in his ears.

Thirty great merits were written off in one stroke.

Remaining number of great merits.

Liang Qu: fifty-three, White Ape: five.

Xu Yuelong picked up a pen to cross out the number of great merits, and Su Guishan pulled open a drawer and threw out two light golden-patterned empty bags:

"Take them and use them."

Liang Qu was stunned: "Are there ready-made ones?"

"I filed an application report and asked the higher-ups for the strategic reserves of the River Patrol Office. You take them and use them. When the Nanzhili ones are replaced next month, the two you exchanged will fill the gap in mine."

"That's great."

He wasn't in a hurry to use the remaining fifty-plus great merits, so he hung them on the account first.

After coming out of the River Patrol Office, Liang Qu couldn't wait to take out the "Qiankun Bag" to play with.

A moment later.

Liang Qu took the Fubo spear out of the bag.

Bad news: The weight of items put into the golden-patterned bag cannot be exempted. The more you put in, the heavier the bag. You have to reach in to get things; you can't just move your mind. Reaching in might not be accurate, and putting sharp objects in might accidentally prick your hand.

Good news: The one-stone space is flexible and changes with the shape of the object, so it won't be wasted, but you have to leave a little bit, otherwise you can't reach in and can only pour it out.

The Fubo spear is more than two meters long, and stuffing it in is no problem. The Yuan wood bow, armor, and the like are all fine. Fubo and he are of one mind, and it can even enter and exit by itself.

"My Qi has the characteristic of being as I wish, so shrinking it before putting it in is fine. A one-stone space can be used as four or five stones... Also, Otter, open!"

In the courtyard, Otter opened its stride and jumped into the 【Vortex Palace】.

Its head poked out, and Otter stuffed the entire golden-patterned bag into its mouth, entering and exiting freely.

Changing from a small space to a large space, moving some items without needing the finless porpoise or even the fat catfish to poke their heads out, is even more concealed!

"Madam, good stuff!"

Liang Qu took the golden-patterned bag to Long Eying.

Learning its function, Long Eying felt admiration for the Great Shun Dynasty.

Compared to it, the Dragon Human race that once dominated Jianghuai really had a bit of being unable to stand on the stage.

"Just two? Didn't you prepare one for the Master and your teacher?"

"I thought about it, but it's too expensive." Liang Qu was helpless. "Giving it to the Master and teacher but not to King Yue wouldn't be appropriate. The bottom line is three. Giving you a one-stone one and giving the teacher and the others half-stone ones would show that I'm not...

Three one-stone ones would cost forty-five great merits. A trip to the elixir veins would be all in vain. If it were five great merits each, I would have exchanged for them all."

In the end, he's poor.

"Then why not give one to your godmother—"

"It doesn't matter, find an opportunity in the future to see if we can kill a Jiang Zongshi with a space divine ability, and we'll provide the raw materials ourselves! There must be an internal price!"

Long Eying took it amusedly: "How is it like killing a chicken? Besides, where is it so easy to find a Jiang Zongshi with a space divine ability."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a Jiang Zongshi; a Great Demon might also work."

"Which Great Demon?"

"No opportunity now, wait a while."

Liang Qu's eyes flickered.

Middle courtyard.

The Great Huai Army Commander Lin Jie sneezed and looked around.

Did he feel a demon thinking about him?
