For the tortoise, being free now is his greatest wish, and everything else, including stimulating the dragon clan bloodline was secondary. Grudges accumulated for tens of thousands of years or more, more than anything else.
Yang Chen’s blade made the tortoise completely see the hope of freedom. When he thought that he would no longer be driven by the Zhao family like a slave, he couldn’t help but have the urge to kill all the Zhao family members immediately.
After all, he was already a monster of the second grade Earth Immortal realm. When he forcibly suppressed this urge and began to consider Yang Chen’s conditions, he immediately realized what it meant to activate the dragon clan bloodline.
Even if no one has really seen the dragon, but the legends have been heard, and there are many records. One of the nine sons of the dragon, a transcendent and holy existence, he had the opportunity to become a dragon, the tortoise couldn’t help but become excited again.
The dragon clan merit stele was definitely the dragon clan natural life source magic weapon, and there is nothing more suitable for the dragon clan cultivation than this kind of magic weapon brought from its blood. The biggest function of the merit stele was to bless merit.
According to legend, the stele of merit and virtue carried on the dragon’s back records his own merit and virtue. However, this is obviously not comprehensive. In fact, dragons can bear the merits of anyone. This point can be proved from the countless dragon steles all over the world. Those inscriptions record the merits and virtues of some human emperors or other outstanding cultivators.
How the merit stele reflects the level and strength is nothing more than the amount of the merits blessed on it. On this point, the dragon clan has a natural advantage that makes people extremely envious. They don’t even need to cultivate much, as long as they can continuously bless merit on their merit stele, the merit stele will grow naturally.
But just now Yang Chen said in his words that as much merit as the tortoise can carry, he can bless as much merit. To the tortoise, it was like a huge pie falling from the sky, which could directly knock him unconscious.
Compared to merit, the little family fortune he had secretly accumulated by staying on the seabed for tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of years was really, as Yang Chen said, useless at all.
“Is this true?” The tortoise didn’t know how much willpower he had used. It was only then that the thoughts he conveyed to Yang Chen’s mind were not so exciting.
“I can swear with a heart oath.” Yang Chen conveyed his meaning without hesitation.
Originally, the tortoise wanted to confirm whether Yang Chen had those many merits, but Yang Chen’s oath with the heart demon made the tortoise doubts no longer exist, and he said firmly: “It’s a deal!”
“It’s a deal!” Yang Chen also happily made this agreement with the tortoise.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but be unhappy, the merits blessed on the dragon clan merit stele are different from the merits recorded on the merit ring, as long as they are on the merit stele, those merits will never disappear. Even if the Heavenly Court changes its dynasty now, it will not disappear. Yang Chen’s immeasurable merit is worrying about how to preserve it. There will be this dragon clan merit stele delivered to the door soon, why doesn’t it make Yang Chen ecstatic?
Even if it is purely for this purpose, Yang Chen also wanted to do his best to stimulate the blood of the tortoise’s body. The next thing, naturally, was that Yang Chen began to frantically cultivate the blessings of merit during the alchemy process recorded in the merit method.
The records in the Merit method are not particularly detailed, but just a general outline. The specific details require Yang Chen to explore carefully. Putting it on anyone else in the mortal world, this merit article is a tasteless one, and no one can cultivate it. Even if you have the aptitude of a genius, without a lot of merit to cultivate, it is impossible to master it. Just like refining alchemy, if you don’t get started and just read books, you can’t learn it anyway.
This is one of them, the other difficulty is that even in the mortal world, saving the people from the fire and suffering, and relieving the people from hanging upside down, has accumulated countless merits and virtues. But before entering the heavenly court, how do mortal cultivators know how much merit they have, and how can they use it?
However, Yang Chen not only has merit. Moreover, the merit ring is in hand and can be used at any time. What’s more important is that Yang Chen is not afraid of spending resources. The power of merit blessing, if not enough merit is added, how can it be possible to see the effect? In this regard, no one can compare with Yang Chen, he can throw billions of merits without blinking, and no one can be more generous than him.
In the beginning, it was definitely not refining the elixir that stimulated the blood of dragon clan, but the spirit congealing pills. The spirit congealing pill itself does not have the effect of improving the spiritual awareness of the user, but Yang Chen hopes that after blessing it with the merits, the spirit congealing pill can be improved by a small amount. Of course, this spirit congealing pill is purely for cultivation, in order for Yang Chen to master the alchemy techniques of the Merit method.
It has to be said that what Li Cheng brought out was indeed powerful. After Yang Chen started serious alchemy, it took more than half a year, during which at least fifteen alchemy furnaces almost exploded, before he finally succeeded in refining a virtuous spirit congealing pill. These exploding alchemy furnaces were not deliberately done by Yang Chen, but were completely accidental during the alchemy process.
During the process of alchemy, the Zhao family monitored almost the whole process, especially the children of the Zhao family who were good at alchemy, they were in a place where they could see Yang Chen’s alchemy, and stared at Yang Chen’s every movement without blinking, trying to learn something from it.
The tortoise will also be frequently asked what Yang Chen wants him to do. On this point, Yang Chen and the tortoise already have a tacit understanding. The medicinal materials and the alchemy furnace, all the operations were still carried out by Yang Chen.
The Zhao family saw Yang Chen’s failures again and again, but more importantly, Yang Chen was never discouraged once. Every time he failed, Yang Chen would always collect the dregs of the materials, carefully observe and summarize and proceed to the next attempt.
Seeing Yang Chen’s actions, many alchemy disciples of the Zhao family were thoughtful. In this world, whether it is cultivation or alchemy, there has never been a shortcut. Everyone knows this truth in their hearts, but they always forget it in actual operation. Now from Yang Chen’s body, everyone has seen Yang Chen’s persistence. Perhaps, this perseverance is one of the factors for Yang Chen to become a fifth-grade alchemist.
Anyway, after more than a dozen failures, Yang Chen finally succeeded in refining an elixir. When Yang Chen took the alchemy in his hands and hadn’t observed it a few times, the Patriarch of the Zhao family appeared in front of Yang Chen.
“Grandmaster Yang, can you sell this elixir to the Zhao family?” When meeting the head of the Zhao family, he asked for the elixir.
