Chapter 242: Take Your Dirty Hands Away!

After repelling the Shaman tribe, Little Wei Yuan would often think of the one hundred thousand troops Western Jin had placed on the side.

Whenever this happened, he would feel depressed, but he couldn't directly wipe them out with his army, at least not now.

After sending away the Cui family, Little Wei Yuan prepared to go to the Merit Hall to exchange for a few history books to read, so that he could calm his mood.

Life couldn't only have storybooks, and storybooks weren't worth reading anyway.

Entering the Merit Hall, Little Wei Yuan saw that there were fruits hanging on the osmanthus tree again. Since the last time he sacrificed a large amount of Underworld Soil to exchange, this Merit Sub-Hall had also gained many benefits, its quality had improved, the speed of absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy had accelerated, and the cycle of bearing fruit had been shortened by one day; now it could be exchanged once every two days.

Little Wei Yuan opened the jade book, habitually looked at his merits first, and then felt his eyes were a bit blurry.

He rubbed his eyes, letting that string of purple-shining numbers become clear:

Little Wei Yuan, total Heavenly Merit six thousand two hundred, remaining five thousand twenty.

Little Wei Yuan rubbed his eyes fiercely again, finally confirming it was Heavenly Merit, not Merit, and it was six thousand, not one thousand six. With Little Wei Yuan's concentration, he needed some time to calm his mood at this moment.

He took out the Merit Handbook, checked the past records, and confirmed that one battle had yielded five thousand Heavenly Merit at once! In other words, Yanxin was equivalent to an Immortal Foundation among Dharma Forms, and his cultivation was still late-stage, so adding it up a few times, he gave Little Wei Yuan over five thousand Heavenly Merit in one breath.

Calculated this way, the Heavenly Merit that flew away was only less than two thousand. Thinking of this, the regret in Little Wei Yuan's heart became much smaller.

At this time, on the Merit Handbook, Little Wei Yuan had jumped into the top ten of all Dao Foundation cultivators, and was about the same as the first, leaving his master and senior sister far behind. The Dao Foundation cultivators ranked in the top ten were all unfamiliar names, and Little Wei Yuan had never heard of them. These people on the list only had one name, and all data was secret.

The top one hundred on this list were all like this, and Little Wei Yuan's data was also invisible to others. It was just that Little Wei Yuan was too famous and basically in a transparent state, so knowing the name meant knowing everything about him.

At this very moment, Little Wei Yuan felt that Xiaoyu should be beside him.

Although Xiaoyu had gone home, Little Wei Yuan didn't intend to let it go just like that. So he didn't rush to exchange, but spread out the jade paper and wrote a letter to Xiaoyu:

"Junior Brother Xiaoyu:

Recently I obtained a small amount of merit and want to exchange for one or two magic treasures. Unfortunately, my knowledge is shallow, and I hope Junior Brother can give more guidance..."

A letter was written in one go, and Little Wei Yuan handed it to a cultivator to send it out before returning to the Merit Hall to continue looking at the list.

As a result, he looked for an entire afternoon.

Azure Void was waiting for prosperity, and everything was lacking. Little Wei Yuan exchanged for a magic treasure-level alchemy furnace; this was for Sun Yu. In addition, there was a medicine cabinet that could isolate heaven and earth spiritual energy and lock spiritual power, which was also a magic treasure. Although magic treasures were exclusively for Dharma Form True Persons, Dao Foundation cultivators could barely drive them, and Sun Yu could break through to Dharma Form at any time, so giving him a magic treasure at this time was just right.

Yu Zhizhuo came late, but his role was quite critical. His cultivation method was different from others, mainly looking at how many heavenly materials and earthly treasures passed through his hands; the higher the grade of materials used when creating magic treasures, the more beneficial it was for him.

It was just that those that could catch Yu Zhizhuo's eyes were not ordinary things, and although Little Wei Yuan had five thousand Heavenly Merit, he still couldn't afford them.

However, Little Wei Yuan made a slight change and exchanged for a piece of Yuan Crystal Iron that only cost five hundred Heavenly Merit. This iron was a high-grade material designated by the Lei Mu, placed under the Lei Mu to receive the baptism of thunder fire day and night, and after a long time, it would transform into Lei Jie Divine Iron.

Lei Jie Divine Iron was a treasure material of the Yu Jing level, and one piece cost several thousand Heavenly Merit. With this placed under the Lei Mu, Yu Zhizhuo had something to look forward to.

Although Little Wei Yuan felt that his Junior Uncle was wealthy and shouldn't be lacking such a piece of iron, no one would think that Yu Jing treasure materials were too many. Of course, wanting to change from Yuan Crystal Iron to Lei Jie Divine Iron, even in Azure Void, was not a matter of one or two years.

True Person Chuhe's request was easier to handle, and it happened to overlap with Little Wei Yuan's. Besides cultivating heavenly unusual items, the True Person wanted to be accompanied by spiritual plants. Now Little Wei Yuan had an immortal tree in his hand, and the old Daoist couldn't be driven away.

However, the necessary expression still had to be made, so Little Wei Yuan exchanged for a Ghost Water Spiritual Ginseng. It and the Wood Spiritual Ginseng belonged to the Five Elements Spiritual Ginseng, but one was a Dharma Form-level spiritual plant, and the other was a Dao Foundation-level. So Little Wei Yuan only exchanged for this one.

With Ghost Water Spiritual Ginseng, Underworld Soil, two mutated Heavenly Star Dragon Kui, and the newly acquired Red Jade Lantern, it was enough for True Person Chuhe to be busy for a while.

Next, Little Wei Yuan exchanged for a batch of spiritual materials for setting up arrays, and in the blink of an eye, five thousand Heavenly Merit had been spent completely. Only after changing did Little Wei Yuan remember that he seemed to have forgotten to choose things for himself, his teacher, and his senior sister.

After coming back to his senses, Little Wei Yuan checked the exchanged things again and found that they were all used in the realm.

He had actually thought about these things for a long time, and originally thought he would need to exchange for them slowly one by one, but he didn't expect that one shot of "Immortal Road Dusk" would yield five thousand Heavenly Merit, just enough to exchange for them all at once.

Actually, Little Wei Yuan was still somewhat self-blaming at this time; he felt that although he didn't need anything, it was inappropriate not to prepare gifts for his teacher and senior sister.

His teacher had beheaded another Great Shaman, and the Heavenly Merit was not small, and the feedback from heaven and earth should be able to make the fourth immortal sword complete, and the next step was to wait for an opportunity to advance to Dharma Form.

Little Wei Yuan didn't know what his senior sister was waiting for, but since arriving in Azure Void, the Nine-Fold Demon-Suppressing Tower had simply been everywhere, and the Heavenly Merit went without saying, and the merit was also massive. As long as she didn't have a lack of state of mind, she could exchange for whatever she lacked.

Speaking of state of mind, Little Wei Yuan concluded from his years of being tempered that there was probably nothing in this world that could make his senior sister's Dao heart collapse. Even if the world ended, his senior sister could face it with a smile.

There were too many items to exchange, and Little Wei Yuan could not move them all at once. He had to make several trips before he could move everything to the area outside the formation of the Merit Hall. Just as he finished moving the items, Little Wei Yuan's vision blurred, and True Person Chuhe appeared before him, saying eerily, "This old Daoist seems to have smelled something extraordinary again."

Little Wei Yuan handed the Ghost Water Spiritual Ginseng over and said: "Exchanged for a spiritual plant to add some spiritual energy to the realm."

"Oh my, what are you doing? Exchanging for this thing is actually useless; it would be better to keep the Heavenly Merit to exchange for a magic armor for yourself. Look at you, simply a pile of rags!" The old Daoist nagged, but held the Ghost Water Spiritual Ginseng with both hands, his eyes shining.

This one also needed Underworld Soil, which was of great benefit to the old Daoist's cultivation.

"Oh right, that Red Jade Lantern has been planted for you; you can move it to the immortal tree now." After explaining, the old Daoist didn't want to stay for even a moment longer and headed straight for the medicine garden.

Little Wei Yuan shook his head with a smile, and then sent the alchemy furnace and medicine cabinet to Sun Yu. When entering the courtyard, Little Wei Yuan saw an ancient bronze tripod in front of Sun Yu, and there were actually a few Shaman tribe souls in the tripod. Seeing this tripod and other medicinal materials placed together, could it be that what was in the tripod was also alchemy material?

Little Wei Yuan faintly felt that Sun Yu was no longer the sunny Junior Uncle he knew back then. But it was also possible that he didn't understand him at all.

Receiving the things Little Wei Yuan sent, Sun Yu was very happy, especially liking that medicine cabinet, saying that in the future, fresh materials could be put into it. This medicine cabinet was extraordinary, could hold living things, and could ensure that spiritual nature was not lost.

Yu Zhizhuo's side was simpler; Little Wei Yuan placed the Yuan Crystal Iron under the Lei Mu and took Yu Zhizhuo to take a look.

To Little Wei Yuan's surprise, Yu Zhizhuo was very excited to see it, saying that the material of Lei Jie Divine Iron was special and required a top-grade immortal sword to cut it, praising Little Wei Yuan for knowing how to choose things, praising Little Wei Yuan until he felt cold in his heart, with a premonition of impending disaster.

Having settled the three Junior Uncles and Junior Uncle-Grandmasters, Little Wei Yuan could finally handle his own affairs.

!.

With the prestige of a great victory, Little Wei Yuan now had over three thousand strands of green luck in his sea of consciousness, one hundred advancements, and five drops of great luck. There were still eighteen strands of heavenly luck for advancement.

Little Wei Yuan was now very familiar with the use of luck, and after a comprehensive judgment, the green Qi was overall one grade lower than the heavenly luck. Great luck and advanced heavenly luck were equivalent.

At this time, there was too much green Qi, and apart from great luck, Little Wei Yuan was too lazy to see who the luck came from.

However, one drop of newly added great luck came from Cui Changfeng, which surprised Little Wei Yuan quite a bit. It turned out that although this young master was full of blowing about how good his talent was, he still understood what was going on deep in his heart.

Three strands of luck went out, and one drop of great luck was recovered; if it were a month ago, Little Wei Yuan might have laughed from his dreams, but now he just took a casual look and indicated he knew.

In the vast mountains and rivers, corresponding to the direction of the medicine garden, a translucent white vine grew, with a few rice-sized fruits hanging on it, red and translucent, like tiny lanterns.

The vine seedling continuously sent out calls to Little Wei Yuan, so Little Wei Yuan walked over and pulled it up.

The Red Jade Lantern could be accompanied by an immortal tree, and its own state was also quite special. If it hung on an immortal tree, it would be a top-grade spiritual plant of the Yu Jing level. If it hung on an ordinary spiritual tree, it would be a high-grade spiritual plant of the Dharma Form level. If the spiritual tree's grade wasn't good, it would also degenerate to medium-grade, and it would suck the spiritual tree to death.

The immortal tree was not an ordinary wood and had its own kinds of divinity. For example, the laurel immortal branch that Immortal Lord Tinghai gave Little Wei Yuan was itself virtual and real, between virtual and real. It could exist in the Dao Foundation of the sea of consciousness, and it could also appear in reality. This appearance was different from the manifestation simulated by Dao power, but existed in the real world.

The Red Jade Lantern also had the characteristic of being virtual and real, so Little Wei Yuan pulled it and walked toward the laurel immortal branch.

It was the immortal branch, not the immortal tree.

The world thought Little Wei Yuan had an immortal tree, but only Little Wei Yuan knew he didn't.

The laurel immortal branch was still about the same as before, except it was a circle thicker, and a few pale red patterns appeared on the skin. It lay lazily in the white-gold water pool until it saw Little Wei Yuan walking toward it with the Red Jade Lantern in his hand.

For the first time in his life, Little Wei Yuan saw a spiritual plant exuding killing intent.

The laurel immortal branch stood up, but this did not stop Little Wei Yuan.

Little Wei Yuan could already hear the cheers of the Red Jade Lantern in his hand. And the gap in status between the two sides was quite large, simply heaven and earth, so taking one bite from the immortal tree didn't count as anything.

A white-gold sword Qi flashed, carving a deep sword mark on the ground in front of Little Wei Yuan's feet!

Little Wei Yuan was shocked, rubbed his eyes, and confirmed he hadn't seen it wrong; that was a sword Qi. At this moment, the sword Qi returned to the laurel immortal branch, dancing around the immortal branch. The status of this sword Qi was high, exceeding the immortal sword Sun by a point, and was equivalent to Zhang Sheng's fourth immortal sword.

Little Wei Yuan stared at the laurel immortal branch, and the laurel immortal branch was also staring at him; one person and one tree branch were confronting each other like this. The white-gold sword Qi flew around continuously, and the meaning was self-evident.

Suddenly hearing a light sound of "pa," the pale red patterns on the surface of the thicker laurel immortal branch suddenly cracked, popping out several thin new branches, covered with white-gold leaf buds.

Those pale red patterns were not patterns, but traces left by the immortal branch's skin cracking; now the skin finally couldn't suppress the new branches, letting them pop out.

Little Wei Yuan suddenly had a very strange thought: Is this too full, finally unable to hold it and starting to sprout?
