Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

The little Yuanying also realized that he seemed to have done something wrong, and quickly slapped the patch in his hand up, his eyes wandering towards the sky, his hands behind his back, looking as if he had done nothing.

Doesn't she know that she can see?

Chapter 888 Merit (1W)

However, Keqing also knew that although this guy felt guilty, it was just an appearance. In essence, he had no thoughts or consciousness.

Even though I know it, I will still do it next time, I will still feel guilty, and I will still play with it!

Keqing held her forehead with her hand.

Seeing that the little Yuanying was using the same trick again, he was about to stop him, but suddenly his expression changed, and the patch that was stuck on in his sight fell off again.

Not me, I didn't move anything!

The little Yuanying quickly took a step back and subconsciously raised his hands with an innocent look.

Keqing was speechless. She intervened with her consciousness and picked up the Nascent Soul fragment to take a look at it.

“Is it rejection?”

The rejection of the soul shouldn't have started only now...

She looked at her Nascent Soul, which was in good condition, and found that there was no problem caused by the shedding.

It's like just shedding its skin.

She observed it carefully and thought that this patch should be the different soul fragments mentioned by the system.

"Huh? Why does this touch feel so familiar?"

Keqing looked at it carefully and suddenly realized that this thing was not a soul at all, but seemed to be something she was familiar with.

She rubbed it vigorously and patted it with her chubby hands.

In an instant, eyes as gray as dust emerged from within.

[Hey, Master, what is this? ]

【Isn't this the patch you saw? 】

Keqing asked it curiously.

[No, Master, the patch is still there. From what I could see, I only saw your Nascent Soul patting it and then drawing out a burst of energy.]

It does detect different energy properties so it labels the differences as energies, the two souls belong together but there are slight differences so it can detect slight differences.

But it cannot go deeper into the inside, so I am a little curious about what Keqing pulled out.

Keqing didn't expect that what she saw from her Nascent Soul perspective was different from what the system saw.

She looked at the thing in her hand curiously and squeezed it gently with her chubby little hand.

Just like weathering, the patched shell in front of her eyes was turning into ashes bit by bit as she moved, and soon disappeared.

A little golden light flickered faintly mixed in it, and as the ashes disappeared, it gradually gathered around the Nascent Soul and then merged into it.

Is it an illusion?

She felt that the golden light entered the other party's Nascent Soul and the entire sea of ​​consciousness seemed to become brighter.

Thinking of this, Keqing broke off another piece of the gray "shell". As the weathered shell gradually turned into ashes, some golden color floated out and weakly sank into the body.

Keqing tried to intercept the gold with her chubby hands, but the gold passed through her Nascent Soul and could not be stopped.

This feeling, could it be...

Outside the sea, he felt Keqing's consciousness. There was a golden dragon shadow above his head that no one else could see. Its long beard fluttered in the wind. It opened its mouth and a breath of golden light fell from the sky and landed in Keqing's hands.

The familiar golden color, pinch it, this time the golden color can be kneaded at will, round, square, you can pinch it however you want, and it will not go through the palm of your hand.

Because... this is my own gold.

Her humanitarian merits.

“So it’s really a merit…”

Keqing has already given the merits of Heaven to the two predecessors, and what she has in her hand is the merits of humanity. She actually has a lot of such merits. After all, not to mention other things, just the establishment of the country, education, and saving tens of millions of people from being displaced, the merits are countless, not to mention that the Li Kingdom is still radiating to the surrounding areas, and the Goddess Kingdom in the small world has occupied the entire world and is experiencing a population explosion.

It can be said that there are so many merits in humanity that they are inexhaustible.

Of course, this is just an exaggerated metaphor.

Humanitarian merits have many uses, but as long as it can halve the effect of thunder, it is a good thing to resist thunder.

But the problem is that for Keqing, the stronger the thunderbolt, the better. If it is weaker, wouldn’t that reduce her own cultivation?

Merit can also improve one’s understanding and comprehend supernatural powers.

Then the question is, she has the heart thunder that can improve her understanding, and although she uses a lot of divine power, it is also a continuous output, so why should she use merit?

Although it can be stacked, she hasn't reached the point where she needs such a strong understanding, so...

Over time, merits are accumulated.

However, even though he saved millions of people and had so many merits, merits are actually not easy to obtain.

If you save someone, you will indeed gain merit, but you will also suffer the consequences of cause and effect. Once that person does something bad and kills someone, your merit will probably disappear immediately. If you use it, then the cause and effect will be on you, and you will suffer the consequences of karma.

Therefore, Keqing is not used very much. Although she is not afraid of cause and effect, she still cares about what she should care about. Her merits and virtues are always increasing and decreasing, but they are rising overall.

The Nascent Soul-sized piece of merit in Keqing's palm already accounts for a small half of the total.

There aren't actually that many merits.

However, compared with the scattered merits on the Nascent Soul, the merits of the "patch shell" which is as thin as gauze are indeed a lot.

Keqing felt that the other party had so much merit before, so she condensed

The success of Nascent Soul should be helped by virtue...otherwise, how can it fuse souls and spirits at will?

Are those patches like a kind of eggshell? And those patches are the remaining merits?

The gray ones have been used? As for the places not covered by the merit shell, could it be that the merit has been exhausted?

Keqing quickly came up with an idea.

But ideas are ideas, and we still need to see how they are specifically. If it is really related to merit, what should we do? It is just like some elixirs. It is not that the problem can be solved by just taking them. The internal spiritual power is needed to sort out the medicine liquid to fully exert the efficacy of the medicine. Externally, certain guidance, massage, etc. are also required, and even other assistance is needed.

If this person is really like this due to lack of merit, he may have to perform the above series of operations.

【System, supervision begins now. 】

[Okay, Master, start recording. ]

Keqing nodded, and then controlled the little Nascent Soul to come to the sea of ​​consciousness. The Nascent Soul merged, and the sea of ​​consciousness also merged. So was the sea of ​​consciousness also due to merit?

With her careful and targeted reference, as expected, Keqing discovered some merit particles at the junction where the two seas of consciousness collided.

These particles are very small and their light is very faint, but they act as a kind of protection, isolating the sea of ​​consciousness of both parties in the form of a magnet.

Not only does it have the power of isolation, Keqing finds that if she causes a little movement in her sea of ​​consciousness, a reaction will also occur over there. This means that this merit particle is not just a simple repulsion, but may also have the effect of communication and connection.

"Hey, why is this happening..."

Could it be that this merit is somewhat different from others?

Keqing wasn't very clear about the situation of merit. To be honest, her research on merit was not as deep as her research on elixirs. However, near the merit particles, Keqing also found a trace of electric arcs, which faintly revealed the power of heavenly calamity.

Is this the effect that can only be achieved by using the merit particles as a carrier and the power of heavenly tribulation?

Keqing vaguely felt that this should be the case.

But what is the reason and why it is so, I don’t know.

She also asked the system, but unfortunately the answers given by the system were similar.

[This situation is somewhat like some kind of charged particles, and somewhat like the basic particles of some worlds. However, the formation of the Xiuxian world is based on rules and the five elements are cyclical, which is different from those worlds, so perhaps they cannot be discussed together.]

In short, the database does not have it, but we can see that this should be some kind of utilization of merit, the reaction between merit and heavenly calamity.

After all, one is a reward mechanism and the other is a punishment mechanism, and although the two are different in nature, they share the same origin, so this dual effect of entanglement and exclusion is formed?

It can be seen that the thunder is tightly bound near the merit particles, but is also excluded from the outside and keeps circulating around the merit.

"Is that so?"

Keqing looked thoughtful and observed this thing carefully.

This reminded her of the descriptions in the books that the system had obtained.

But...if the rules are different, can the same effect be achieved?

The little Nascent Soul in the body has been exploring, while Keqing outside seems to be thinking about something, pinching the merit with her fingertips and groping for a while. Soon, accompanied by a burst of lightning and crackling, a particle the size of a finger quickly formed around it, which was the same as the merit in the sea of ​​consciousness.

But compared with the merits inside, the merits rubbed by hands outside are thousands of times greater.

【Master, what are you doing this for? 】

The system knew Keqing's learning ability, so it was not surprised that she figured it out after just a few glances.

[Do you think this looks like some conductive particles in that book? ]

[Do you want to... create those technological products!? ]

[Hmm? Why do you think so? ]

Keqing blinked. She had also heard about the technological products that the system mentioned, but...

[Why would I create those? Don’t the immortal world have such things? For long-distance transactions, there is the Jade Mirror of Heaven and Earth, and for short-distance transactions, there is the Sound Transmission Messenger, but they are not widely available.]

Keqing shrugged.

[Besides, doesn't my Divine Power Net already have a similar effect? ​​]

Thanks to the existence of divine power and the emergence of the divine power network, productivity in the small world has been greatly improved. Whether it is the convenience of travel or long-distance communication, there are basically no problems. Entertainment has also begun to emerge, and the convenience is almost the same as the so-called technological world in the system.

[After all, this is the world of immortal cultivation. Even if I want to replicate the scene in the world in the book, my merits are not enough. It is a bit too extravagant.]

She can solve basic conveniences by relying on her divine power, so why bother?

[I just think that the repulsive force of the heavenly calamity and the merits seems too strong. What would happen if we combine them together through some means, or do something with this repulsive force?]

[I remember that book saying that the splitting and combining of some particles can generate enormous power. I don’t know how it works in the world of immortal cultivation.]

【If I restore the merit particle to the smallest particle, and then perform this operation. 】

[Eh? Isn't this equivalent to the collapse and fusion of rules? Speaking of which, space cracks are caused by unstable rules. ]

[And can this function of connecting and rejecting souls be used to assemble souls and make them complete?

Isn't it a perfect adhesive that can keep things together without causing any repulsion? 】

Many thoughts popped up in Keqing's mind and she muttered to herself.

Can this method be used to treat those monks with mental problems? If there are some monks who practice clones, and the clones and the main body are glued together with this thing, after the minds are connected, will the consciousness that is generated automatically return to the original and become one main body with the original soul?

Keqing's eyes became brighter and brighter.

The system suddenly felt a chill, and always felt that some terrible thoughts were brewing in its master's mind.

No, how did you come up with the idea of ​​breaking the rules through this!

Then I thought that if the master destroyed the world out of curiosity, it would be a big fortune!

She also wants to use this primitive collapse, isn't this a large-scale nuclear weapon! ? A world-class one!

No, even nuclear weapons are not that powerful.

[Master! You can't think like that! Breaking the rules will have consequences, causing instability in the world and prompting more rules to break automatically, but the Heavenly Dao will remember that!]

[Moreover, the collapse and fission of rules are disordered. If they cannot be controlled, the consequences will be disastrous. A lot of redundant and chaotic information in the virtual sea is caused by the fission of rules, which is why the virtual sea is tens of millions times larger than Jiuzhou! ]

[That’s right… I almost forgot about that. ]

Keqing touched her chin and almost forgot that this was still the world of immortal cultivation. You could accidentally cause the collapse of rules in a small area because of yourself, but if you take the initiative to do it... then the meaning will be different. Jiuzhou has an owner and the laws of nature.

But she couldn't just do it casually, well, she was really just curious and didn't really want to do it.

However, the virtual sea, that is, the inner world of Kyushu, is tens of millions times larger than Kyushu?

Keqing's thoughts have expanded again. Does the virtual sea have a spatial definition? Is the virtual sea illusory? By analogy with the subconscious, the virtual sea is compared to the sea. Does that mean there are other seas, and there should be communication between the seas?

Oops, my thoughts started wandering away again.

Keqing rubbed her head.

"Forget it, let's solve the current problem first."
