Chapter 365: Merit Exchange for Bodhi Fruit

While waiting outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony before Nan Yi, Du Heng returned the Emperor's Sword at the court meeting and asked Emperor Li to reward the monks who had made special contributions.

After some discussion, in the end, the Xiaoyao disciple who stole the seven inherited dragon balls from Yingzhou Island was considered the culprit in the eyes of the South China Sea demons and was credited with three great achievements.

Nan Yi, on the other hand, is at the middle level of the Nine Transformations.

The remaining monks had different amounts of merit.

Before, Nan Yi received a message from Du Heng in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, saying that during his trip to the South China Sea, Emperor Li had counted his merits as a ninth-level middle-level merit, which could be converted into one middle-level merit.

Because Su Guang still had to wait for the Luo family to send in the intelligence, and Nan Yi was not in a hurry to attack the Ministry of Commerce, he waited outside the palace for a while. After Du Heng left the palace, he went with him to the Ministry of Personnel office compound.

Obviously, Nan Yi was thinking about the merits he had gained during his mission to the South China Sea, and wanted to see if there were any treasures suitable for him to exchange for them right now.

When they arrived at the Ministry of Personnel's Merit Examination Office, they learned of Nan Yi's purpose. The monk in charge of exchanging merits went upstairs to an unknown place and brought back a jade slip and handed it to Nan Yi.

When the divine consciousness probed into the jade slip, it turned out to be an illusion, replicating the shelves of many treasures that could be exchanged for middle-level merit in the Dali Secret Treasury, giving people an intuitive sense of being there.

At the same time, with a sweep of spiritual sense, you can also obtain the basic information of the corresponding treasures from the shelves.

Nan Yi went through it roughly.

The exchange of middle-level merits can meet the needs of upper-level yellow-level cultivators, that is, those who have transcended the ordinary world.

In terms of skills, there are some books such as "Xuan Huang Gui Yuan Zhen Jing", which are the side door and orthodox methods passed down by the Star God. Although it is slightly inferior to the inheritance of the immortal sect, it has no obvious shortcomings and basically has no hidden dangers.

For ordinary casual practitioners who have cultivated to the Transcendent Stage, if their skills are not strong enough to break through and establish a foundation, or if they are worried that there is a problem with the skills they are practicing, they can accumulate merits to exchange for unorthodox methods and disperse their skills to cultivate again.

It's just that, it's not easy for ordinary casual cultivators to accumulate merits.

As for the artifacts, they are all top grade yellow rank and their effects can be considered practical. They are even slightly superior to other magical artifacts such as the "Yuan Lian Lantern" and the "Pure Fire Burning Gold Cover".

For example, one of the items, called "Chengzhuxiang", is a long incense that looks like a miniature bamboo.

Its magical effect is "the fragrance of bamboo makes your wishes come true" and can make your wishes come true to a certain extent, including forcibly controlling the words and deeds of others.

However, every time a wish is fulfilled, a section of the incense stick will be burned depending on the difficulty of the wish.

It doesn't matter if not much is burned, you can even wait for the incense stick to recover slowly like a bamboo.

However, if you make a wish that is difficult to fulfill, causing the entire stick of incense to burn out suddenly, the price of "the incense is in the master" will take effect, and you will be controlled by the object of the wish just now.

If the incense stick burns out without making a specific wish, then it will simply be a backlash. Not only will your wish not be fulfilled, but it will also have the opposite effect.

In short, although it seems that everything you wish for can come true and you can do anything, you should still consider the cost and not abuse "Chengzhuxiang".

However, as long as it is used in moderation, for example, only using "Chengzhuxiang" to control and interfere with the words and actions of others, you can easily gain the upper hand in a fight, and you don't have to worry about getting your wishes dashed and suffering the consequences.

After seeing the description of the effects of "Chengzhuxiang", Nan Yi was instantly attracted and almost wanted to choose this magical weapon directly.

With this device, convincing civil and military officials would seem like a matter of a thought, so easy.

Nan Yi's mind turned three times, and after thinking it over three times, he calmed down and realized that this was a bait set for him by the officials of the Ministry of Personnel.

Officials from the Ministry of Personnel also wanted to suppress Nan Yi's Qigong.

At this point, Du Heng was only the director of the Ministry of Personnel's Muling Division. At most, he could supervise the monks of the Muling Division, but he could not supervise the monks of the Ministry of Personnel's Kaogong Division.

Knowing Nan Yi's intention, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel deliberately placed the "Chengzhuxiang" in the most conspicuous position in the illusion so that Nan Yi could see it at a glance. If Nan Yi wanted to use the "Chengzhuxiang" to persuade the civil and military officials, he would fall into the trap of the Ministry of Personnel.

Although "Chengzhuxiang" is mysterious, it is only suitable for use in battles. By relying on its effect to interrupt the enemy's spellcasting, it can be said to be invincible in battles.

However, if one wants to use "Cheng Zhuxiang" to distort other people's perception, it is not only very easy to fail, but it is also impossible to influence all nine ministers at the same time.

Nan Yi sneered in his heart, skipped over the "Chengzhuxiang" and looked at the other strange weapons.

After looking around, I feel that although there are many practical weapons among them, they are ultimately just practical ones. They are not as good as the "Eternal Life Gourd" which is expected to serve as the foundation of the Tao. It is not to the extent that I must get it.

So, after looking at the shelves selling exercises and equipment, Nan Yi continued to look at the shelves selling raw materials.

Apart from ordinary objects, materials are generally divided into exotic objects or spiritual objects.

Both are extraordinary materials, but foreign matter has certain negative properties that need to be resolved.

However, spiritual flowers, herbs, and fruits are spiritual objects and can basically be described as pure and risk-free.

Nan Yi looked around and quickly locked onto the "Bodhi Fruit", pondering for a moment.

Bodhi fruit is the fruit of the Bodhi tree. It can enable people to enter a state of sudden enlightenment, which is used to comprehend the Dharma and deduce supernatural powers.

It sounds similar to the Qin family's Enlightenment Tea in Nantian City, but Enlightenment Tea relies on sharing spiritual resonance and studying the Dharma together, while Bodhi Fruit does not require such trouble.

The Bodhi fruit is divided into three grades. The fruit that is produced once every hundred years can help the Yellow-level monks to achieve sudden enlightenment; the fruit that is produced once every thousand years can help the Black-level monks to achieve sudden enlightenment; the fruit that is produced once every three thousand years can help the Earth-level monks to achieve sudden enlightenment.

Nan Yi's merit in the middle level can be exchanged for a hundred-year-old Bodhi fruit.

Currently, Nan Yi has comprehended and applied the principles of "Dazzling Method" and "Wandering God Method", but there is still one "Eternal Bright Fire Method" that he has not yet comprehended.

This secret technique was snatched away by Nan Yi when the demon cultivator Gu Yongze passed on the fire to Lu Shaohuang. It is the fundamental inheritance of the Eternal Bright Fire Sect and is equivalent to the secret technique of cleansing points.

Although Nan Yi did not plan to practice the "Eternal Bright Fire Art", he was determined to comprehend and apply it, integrating it into "Total Healing" to reduce the loss of "Total Healing" talent points.

However, this secret is too profound. Without the intention of directly worshipping Mingzun and practicing the secret through this method, Nan Yi has not yet succeeded in comprehending the "Eternal Bright Fire Secret".

However, if one obtains the Bodhi fruit and attains sudden enlightenment through taking the medicine, one can comprehend the "Eternal Bright Fire Art" and integrate it into "total healing".

Nan Yi pondered for a moment, thinking that the magic weapon was ultimately an external object, and only one's own practice was the foundation, so he finally chose to exchange for the Bodhi fruit.

The monk from the Ministry of Personnel's Examination and Reward Department had a blank expression on his face, as if he didn't care what Nan Yi chose.

He took back the jade slip and reported Nan Yi's needs truthfully.

About an incense stick later, someone brought a Bodhi fruit in a specially made jade box.

The Bodhi fruit is similar in size to ordinary fruits, and its surface is as smooth as jade, even somewhat transparent.

If you look closely, you can see that there seem to be many tiny lights inside the fruit that shuttle back and forth like gossamer threads, vaguely forming many lines, forming a mysterious pattern that is unpredictable and seems to contain the mystery of the laws.

Nan Yi only took a glance and felt that he seemed to have some understanding.

However, he was not in a hurry to take it immediately. He had an idea in his mind, so he put the Bodhi fruit and the jade box into the gourd space of the "Eternal Life Gourd".
