Chapter 6: Who Says a Scripture Seeker Can't Have a Little Bit of Power

Journey to the West: Starting by Joining the Chat Group, Main Text Volume, Chapter 6, Who Says a Scripture Seeker Can't Have a Little Bit of Power in an Otherworld.

Beiliang Prince Mansion, underground secret chamber.

Li Chungang was somewhat excited at this moment; looking at the description of the "Resurrection Crystal" in the Chat Group Mall, he felt as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

Regardless of whether this Resurrection Crystal could truly bring the dead back to life, its appearance gave people hope.

Even if it were a vague and ethereal fantasy, there would always be someone to put it into practice.

As for the reality that the Resurrection Crystal required 120,000 points to purchase, Li Chungang chose to ignore it for the time being.

Immediately after, Li Chungang saw many secret manuals regarding sword techniques.

For example, "Heaven Slashing Draw Sword Technique", "Sword Control Technique", "Sword Twenty-Three", "Nine Swords of Dugu", and "Grass Character Sword Art".

However, Li Chungang only looked at the points required for most of these manuals; he truly could not afford them.

"The Chat Group allows one to earn points by completing missions, and missions are divided into individual missions and Team Mission. It's just that these missions seem to only be triggered passively.

Besides that, checking in can also earn points, though the probability of obtaining points varies; it could be a lot, or it could be a little."

Li Chungang was now carefully calculating his future retirement plan, striving for the 120,000 points to fulfill the regrets in his heart.

Journey to the West Plane.

Great Tang, an unnamed green mountain outside Chang'an City, an unnamed dilapidated temple.

Inside the meditation room, Xuanzang temporarily withdrew from the Chat Group, his expression unreadable.

He had thought the "Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System" was his golden finger, but he had not expected a Chat Group to appear now.

With two golden fingers like this, it would be hard not to take off.

"Now that I have reached the perfection of Refining Spirit into Void, if I were to do daily tasks through the Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System, I fear it would take at least another half a year to advance to Refining Void and Combining Dao; it is truly a bit slow. The Chat Group also has a cultivation function, why not make use of it."

Xuanzang felt this idea of his was quite sound, perfectly utilizing his golden fingers.

However, there was one problem with reality, which was that using the Chat Group's functions required points.

The Chat Group's cultivation function required one thousand points for a single use.

Without points, no matter how many functions there were, they were just decorations to him.

"It seems I don't have any magic treasures to sell? How about selling the Rulai Golden Body in the main hall? But the consequence would probably be the Old Monk killing me."

Xuanzang thought for a moment and abandoned this idea; although he was in the Mythical World where there were countless heavenly treasures, those resources were in the hands of a small number of people.

He could not touch them!

"If we are talking about treasures, as a dignified high monk of the Great Tang and the reincarnation of Jinchanzi, isn't my whole body a treasure? How about I sell myself?"

Xuanzang's mind was agile; he was never one to follow the rules anyway.

He suddenly found a way to obtain a huge amount of points.

"Chat Group, do you accept leg hair?"

Xuanzang contacted the Chat Group Mall in his heart; his entire body was a treasure, and the value of his leg hair went without saying—it should fetch a good price.

"..., the mall has appraised the member's leg hair and it has no value." Chat Group.

"Are you serious?" Xuanzang said subconsciously.

The Chat Group did not answer, as if it had disappeared.

"How about foot Skin?" Xuanzang asked tentatively again.

The Chat Group still did not answer.

"It seems this Chat Group has quite high intelligence."

Xuanzang was not surprised; it would be strange if it actually accepted leg hair and foot Skin.

He even suspected the Chat Group had some special fetish.

"How about a drop of my blood?" Xuanzang asked again.

This time the Chat Group finally reacted and replied:

"Detected one drop of ordinary blood from a member, containing immortal spiritual Qi and Merit Power; it can be exchanged for ten thousand points."

"Chat Group, I suspect you are playing me. A piece of my Flesh can make people live forever and ascend to immortality. Even a single drop of blood should at least prolong life and allow one to live for eight hundred or a thousand years. Such a precious substance, and it's only worth ten thousand?" Xuanzang complained.

"The final right of interpretation belongs to the Chat Group." The Chat Group said.

"..., sold." Xuanzang's face darkened; sooner or later, he would dismantle this group.

He circulated the magic power within his body and condensed a drop of blood to give to the Chat Group.

"Ding, the ten thousand points you topped up have arrived."

Instantly, the beautiful and pleasant voice of the Chat Group reached his ears.

"Chat Group, if I sell one hundred drops of blood, can I exchange them for one million points? Are there any rewards?" Xuanzang asked again.

He had magic power now, so he did have the ability to sell one hundred drops of blood at once.

If he obtained one million points, wouldn't he be able to purchase many divine abilities and spells in the Chat Group Mall?

The Chat Group replied: "Because this is the first time the Chat Group has recorded a member's blood, and because of the special nature of the Merit Power, it can be exchanged for ten thousand points.

If it is a second time, your blood, member, is worth at most ten points."

"?" Xuanzang.

There was actually such a setting; wouldn't that mean the opportunity to exploit a bug was gone?

Forget it, Xuanzang had no heart to play wits with this profiteer of a Chat Group.

"Start the cultivation function." Xuanzang said.

"Starting the cultivation function requires one thousand points; do you wish to deduct them?" The Chat Group said.

"Yes." Xuanzang's gaze was firm.

"Ding, one thousand points successfully deducted, cultivation function successfully activated, I wish you a happy cultivation." The Chat Group's voice sounded.

The next second, Xuanzang seemed to appear in a mysterious space-time; this space was dim, yet looking up, the starlight was brilliant, with infinite stars orbiting above the heavens according to a certain pattern.

"Is this the Cultivation Space? A feeling of sudden enlightenment seems to have arrived."

Xuanzang immediately closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the Void of the space, his entire being entering a state of epiphany.

The duration of time in the Cultivation Space varies from person to person; those with good talent can experience ten thousand years in a single glance, easily breaking through bottlenecks.

Those with average talent gain less inside; in short, the stronger the talent, the greater the benefit.

For someone like Xuanzang, a reincarnation of a Buddha, his innate Immortal talent goes without saying.

And in this space, no matter how long one cultivates, only a few seconds pass in the outside world.

This is actually similar to the Cave Heaven or inner landscape of Daomen, where time is altered to a certain extent.

Xuanzang was in a state of epiphany, his entire body emitting a glow as warm and moist as jade, peaceful and serene.

All kinds of profound auras overflowed from his body, including seven-colored gases and mysterious mists; the breath he exhaled between inhalations condensed into a heavenly fairyland, indescribably wonderful.

Every inch of his Skin was as fair as jade, and inside every piece of Flesh, invisible to the naked eye, a sky full of brilliant clouds bloomed.

Boom!

The bottleneck of Refining Spirit into Void that had trapped him for many days was broken; Xuanzang entered the Refining Void and Combining Dao realm, and he was getting closer to becoming an Immortal.

However, the state of epiphany had not yet ended, and Xuanzang was still slowly cultivating.

At the same time, the Old Monk, who was complaining in another meditation room, grumbled, "That brat Xuanzang is secretly eating chicken legs again, not even knowing how to show filial piety to his master. I said that monks don't touch meat, so does he really not touch it? He doesn't know how to use Transformation."

At the next moment, Xuanzang's aura suddenly changed, and the Old Monk's entire demeanor became incomparably sharp, with a brilliant light flashing in his eyes.

"Refining Void and Combining Dao? How could Xuanzang suddenly enter this realm?" The Old Monk was stunned.

But after a long while, the Old Monk suddenly laughed and said:

"Who says a Scripture Seeker can't have a tiny bit of strength?"
