Chapter 374: Discussing Merit and Rewarding (Thanks to Silver Alliance Destiny Above SSR)

Sitting at the head of the room was an old Daoist with long eyebrows hanging to his shoulders. On his left was a young Daoist, and on his right was a female Daoist.

All three were sizing up Ji Weiwei Yuan. Just as Ji Weiwei Yuan felt that all the secrets on his body were about to be seen through, the shadow in the moon moved. Ji Weiwei Yuan's Qi luck suddenly became like it was covered by a thin veil, shadowy and unclear, impossible to see through.

The young Daoist had originally looked over with a smile, but after looking, the smile froze on his face.

Subsequently, a cloud of chaos rose from the maiden Yin-Yang, covering Ji Weiwei Yuan's sea of consciousness and blocking all gazes outside. The long-eyebrow Fenhai Zhenjun in the center opened his eyes slightly, his face revealing surprise.

But that female Fenhai Zhenjun seemed somewhat unwilling, layers of green Qi appearing faintly in her eyes, as if intending to sweep away the chaos.

At this time, the Red Lotus Bodhi shook gently. The tens of thousands of mortals who were originally busy with their own things suddenly felt as if the end of the world had arrived. But they seemed to have known long ago that there would be such a day, so they were not panicked, just sat down quietly, waiting for death.

A patch of gray-black appeared faintly between the female Fenhai Zhenjun's eyebrows. The light in her eyes faded, and she smiled, "Good for you, Ji Weiwei Yuan, this is wanting to entangle me in karmic debt! Old Daoist Xuan Yue is foolish, how could the disciples and grand-disciples he taught have such sinister methods?"

Ji Weiwei Yuan naturally couldn't casually respond to this, only saying, "This, this junior also doesn't know what is going on."

The female Fenhai Zhenjun smiled, "It's good that you could return this time. As for the secrets on your body, as long as they don't endanger the Grand Void Palace or affect your own Dao path, we won't ask."

Before entering, the guiding disciple had told Ji Weiwei Yuan the identities of the three. The long-eyebrow old Daoist in the center was the Master of the Creation View, Dan Mingzi, also known as Fenhai Zhenjun Dan Ming, currently in charge of the Northern Shanmen. The young Daoist was Fenhai Zhenjun Yan Shi, and the female Daoist was the Master of the Building Wood Hall, Fenhai Zhenjun Huang Yun.

Being watched by three True Lords at the same time, Ji Weiwei Yuan's pressure was naturally extremely great.

The long-eyebrow old Daoist said at this time, "It is extremely good that you can return safely. Tell us about your experiences in the north."

Ji Weiwei Yuan immediately gave a concise account of how he fell into the north, how he was discovered and pursued by the Liao tribe, and then how he escaped back. He also mentioned the matter of the remnant tribe ancestor wanting to seize his body and being killed in return, only omitting the details related to the True Dragon bloodline.

Even so, the three True Lords were slightly moved.

After Ji Weiwei Yuan finished speaking, Fenhai Zhenjun Dan Ming said, "This trip was truly a narrow escape from death; being able to return indeed requires great Qi luck."

"When the Great Karmic Curse was activated that day, no one below an Immortal Lord could resist it, and the Palace Master has been in seclusion for many years, with his current state unknown. Unless it is a moment of life and death for the palace, no one can disturb him. And for us to want to help, unless we have a major karmic connection with you, we would need to prepare a grand array several days in advance and rely on the power of the array to intervene."

"So it was not that the palace abandoned you that day; it was truly that the incident happened suddenly and we couldn't rescue you in time."

Ji Weiwei Yuan said, "This junior understands and has no resentment."

The long-eyebrow old Daoist's expression softened a bit, saying, "It's good that you understand. Back then, you established the Azure Void on your own. Although it was well-intentioned, it was truly of no benefit to the overall situation. Back then, this old Daoist had many criticisms about this; of course, this view will not change now. But since then, you have been able to stubbornly gain a foothold in the impossible and repeatedly frustrate powerful enemies, which is truly not easy."

"And over this past year, our Grand Void Palace has faced an increasingly difficult situation, and resources have all been used in the north. Much of the support that should have been given to you could not be provided, which is somewhat of a debt to you. How about this, I just heard that you killed two Dharma Forms on your way back. As for the heavenly merit you obtained this time, this old Daoist will pay out of his own pocket and add an identical portion for you. You should just exchange it for some upper-rank elixirs and magic treasures to increase your foundation. Relying on the rewards from your ancestor, I'm afraid you won't have any hope in this lifetime."

Ji Weiwei Yuan hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Fenhai Zhenjun!"

Fenhai Zhenjun Yan Shi also smiled, "It is a great joy that you could return! Haha, since Brother Dan Ming has said so, I, as an elder, naturally cannot fall behind, and also..." Halfway through his words, Fenhai Zhenjun Yan Shi's heart suddenly trembled, and he swallowed the second half of his sentence. He silently calculated in his sleeve and then changed his words: "... I am also happy to see this happen."

The long-eyebrow old Daoist looked at Yan Shi suspiciously. This guy played with Qi luck and had always been mysterious, but he was also wealthy. It was said that the most outstanding disciple in his hall was very close to Ji Weiwei Yuan, so by reason and logic, he should have expressed something. What was wrong with him today?

Fenhai Zhenjun Huang Yun said at this time, "My disciple's disciple, Master Chuhe, who is many generations removed, is said to also be in your boundary. This child has been naughty since childhood, unwilling to study diligently, and loves to brag. If not for his good luck in becoming brothers with two Dharma Form spiritual objects, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to leave the mountain gate. You are now at the Dharma Form stage; after you have achieved success in cultivation in the future, you must not indulge him."

Ji Weiwei Yuan was greatly shocked. So True Person Master Chuhe and the cat and snake had this kind of relationship! He had always thought the two spiritual pets served him as their master! This old Daoist had kept it airtight; his acting skills were indeed superb!

Fenhai Zhenjun Huang Yun sized up Ji Weiwei Yuan, seeing his eyebrows and eyes like a painting, and the more she looked, the more she liked him. She immediately said, "Since Brother Dan Ming has promised you double heavenly merit, then I will also..."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly saw Fenhai Zhenjun Yan Shi give her a wink, so she immediately changed her words: "... gift you a few spiritual plants."

If Fenhai Zhenjun Dan Ming couldn't see that something was wrong now, all his cultivation would have been in vain. He was currently in charge of the Northern Shanmen. Although he was sitting still, his divine sense left his body, and he had already pulled up the Merit Ranking, selected the Dao Foundation column, and looked at it carefully.

At just one glance, the old Daoist was so shocked that his long eyebrows almost flew up!

The heavenly merit under Ji Weiwei Yuan's name had just changed, jumping directly to twenty-six thousand! In other words, this time returning from the north, Ji Weiwei Yuan had gained a full ten thousand heavenly merit!

Didn't he say he only killed two Dharma Forms? What kind of two Dharma Forms could be worth ten thousand heavenly merit? Even though the long-eyebrow old Daoist had always been confident, he knew that during the Dharma Form stage, he could at most be worth four thousand heavenly merit, and wanting more would be difficult.

For a moment, the old Daoist was actually somewhat curious about who Ji Weiwei Yuan had killed, almost forgetting that he had promised to subsidize double the heavenly merit. However, he immediately reacted. Thinking that he actually had to make up ten thousand heavenly merit, with his abundant family wealth, he couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart.

At this very moment, the old Daoist finally understood that Fenhai Zhenjun Yan Shi must have calculated something, which was why he changed his words and then secretly reminded Fenhai Zhenjun Huang Yun.

However, Old Daoist Dan Ming had extremely high seniority and cultivation, even a notch stronger than Xuan Yue, and had hope of impacting the Immortal Pass after accumulating for another thirty or forty years. With his status, he naturally couldn't go back on his word, so he looked at Fenhai Zhenjun Yan Shi indifferently.

!.

Fenhai Zhenjun Yan Shi just acted as if he didn't see it.

Old Daoist Dan Ming couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "Do those Dharma Forms you killed have names?"

Ji Weiwei Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know about the others, but I know one of them was called Dragon Eagle, and he seemed a bit powerful."

Fenhai Zhenjun Yan Shi raised his eyebrows and said, "Dragon Eagle? No wonder, no wonder."

Old Daoist Dan Ming glared at him again, but Fenhai Zhenjun Yan Shi still acted as if he didn't see it.

Fenhai Zhenjun Dan Ming said, "You should rest at the mountain gate for these few days. Your ancestor Xuan Yue is injured and is in seclusion healing; she will only be able to come out of seclusion in seven days. Your cultivation realm has improved too fast this time and needs to be well-settled. For the time being, don't think about Dharma Form matters."

Ji Weiwei Yuan stood up to thank him and then asked, "Is Teacher alright?"

Fenhai Zhenjun Dan Ming said, "Her Dao foundation was destroyed, and her Dao path was originally cut off, but with the White Lotus of the Filthy Earth reshaping her body, her Dao path has been reconnected. However, there is a problem with her Dao heart, and she still needs to pass the hurdle of reshaping her Dao heart."

Ji Weiwei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; it was good that she didn't need to reincarnate and recultivate.
