Half an hour later, the Sacred Flower Eater killed all of the Saints from the Blade Prison Realm and the Violet Mansion Realm, and returned to Zhang Ruochen’s side, throwing dozens of storage pouches onto the ground.
Zhang Ruochen poured out all the items in the dozens of storage pouches on the ground, piling them into a small mountain.
There were seven to eight hundred jade bottles containing blood and remnants of souls alone.
Seeing those jade bottles, Qing Mo, who was squatting by the side, was a little surprised, her starry eyes glaring round as she said, “They actually killed so many Saints, shouldn’t we be dealing with the Rakshasa Clan together?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Who told you that you came to the Merit Battlefield to deal with the Rakshasa Clan?”
“Wasn’t it?”
Qing Mo stared with wide eyes, feeling rather puzzled, could it be that before entering the Ancestral Spirit Realm, he had heard the wrong order?
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “Coming to the Merit Battlefield is to seize more merit values.”
Qing Mo became even more puzzled and said, “To seize merit value, doesn’t that mean killing the Rakshasa Clan’s cultivators?”
“Where is the degree of killing Rakshasa Clan cultivators to obtain merit value as fast as killing other participants in the battle?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t know how to describe his feelings, at least Qing Mo had followed him for a period of time, but she was still so naïve, with such a mindset as hers, she had actually survived for close to a month on the Merit Battlefield, which wasn’t easy at all.
Qing Mo fell into silence, her hands resting on her fragrant cheeks as if she was thinking.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t bother to continue explaining to her and began to count the harvest from this battle.
Blood, a total of one million and seven hundred thousand drops, of which, the Marquis of Rakshasa’s blood had eight hundred and forty drops.
Remnant souls, a total of two million four hundred thousand strands, of which, the Marquis of Rakshasa’s remnant soul had one thousand three hundred and fifty strands.
Together with the treasure vase that Zhang Ruochen had previously obtained, now, he had three thousand drops of the blood of a Rakshasa Marquis and two thousand five hundred strands of the residual soul of a Rakshasa Marquis in his possession. There were even more Rakshasa blood and remnant souls below the Marquis.
On top of that, Zhang Ruochen had collected more than two thousand drops of Condensed Truth Holy Dew, as well as a large number of healing holy pills, holy artefacts, and talismans.
Zhang Ruochen gave all the Saint Artifacts, including the two Ten Thousand Stripes Saint Artifacts left behind by Supreme Sage Yan Ju and Supreme Sage Fish Eye, to the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, allowing it to refine and absorb them to raise its own grade.
On the other end, all of the roots of the Sacred Eating Flower extended out, rooting on top of the corpses of the Sacred Ones of the Blade and Prison Realm and the Violet Mansion Realm, absorbing their holy power and holy blood to impact the realm of the Supreme Sacred.
Its vines, leaves, and fruits were all radiating turquoise holy light, as if it had transformed into an emerald divine vine.
As long as the Sacred Eating Flower reached the realm of Supreme Saint, it would immediately become the topmost powerhouse under the Saint King, and it could also become a great help to Zhang Ruochen.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen decided to give it a day and a night to impact its realm.
Zhang Ruochen sat down underneath the Saint Eating Flower, took out a bottle of Condensing Truth Holy Dew, swallowed it into his mouth, and operated his gongfu to refine and absorb it, continuing to condense the Sacred Dao Rules and consolidate the realm he had just broken through.
The Saint Dao rules reaching “removing emptiness and transforming into truth” was only the first step.
There was still a need to continue to condense the rules of the Holy Dao, and only when the rules of the Holy Dao were condensed to the level of “to the true to the extreme” would they be considered to have reached the ultimate level of the Saint realm.
That realm was the realm of the Supreme Saint.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen was still quite far away from the Supreme Saint realm.
According to Zhang Ruochen’s estimation, even if he wanted to cultivate to the middle stage of True Sainthood, he would need to refine at least 5,000 drops of Condensed True Sacred Dew. If one wanted to cultivate to the late stage of True Sainthood, the amount of Condensed Truth Holy Dew needed would be even more exponentially stacked.
Qing Mo, who was crouching there motionless, as if she had figured out what Zhang Ruochen had said earlier, stood up with a start and exclaimed, “I see!”
Zhang Ruochen was so shocked by her that his body’s Saint Qi was in a state of confusion, and he immediately stopped condensing the Saint Dao Rules, saying, “What are you so startled about?”
Qing Mo was delighted and said, “I understand! Just like you, killing dozens of Saints from the Blade Prison Realm and the Violet Mansion Realm immediately results in a large amount of blood and remnants of souls, which is equivalent to getting a large amount of merit value. Right, collecting merit values like this is indeed much, much faster than me going to kill Rakshasa Clan cultivators alone.”
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and suppressed the power running amok in his body, calming himself down before he said, “How long did you actually think about such a simple truth?”
“This is the fastest way to seize merit values, right?”Qing Mo asked.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “No.”
Qing Mo was slightly stunned and said, “There is a faster method than this?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Robbing other participants in the battle can indeed collect the blood and remnants of the Rakshasa Clan cultivator’s souls quickly. However, one’s strength is limited after all, and the four world fragments of the Ancestral Dragon Realm are so vast that all the Saints are scattered far and wide, so how many of them can you snatch?”
Qing Mo’s fingers, gently tugging at the tips, struggling to think, asked, “What does that mean?”
Zhang Ruochen felt a headache, if it were a different Sacred Book Talented Lady, I’m afraid that she would have understood the meaning of his words long ago, however, it was Qing Mo who was standing in front of him.
Why was the difference so great when it was also a Nine Heavenly Xuan Mistress?
Zhang Ruochen said, “In the Ancestral Spirit Realm, who has killed the most participants?”
Qing Mo didn’t even think about it and said, “You.”
Zhang Ruochen glared at her and said, “Which side of the force am I talking about?”
“The Blade Prison Realm and the Violet Mansion Realm?”Qing Mo said.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “It’s not them, it’s the Rakshasa Clan.”
Qing Mo nodded and said, “That’s right, there were indeed a large number of Saints from the Shatuo Seven Realms that died at the hands of the Rakshasa Clan.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “When the Rakshasa Clan’s cultivators killed them, they naturally obtained the jade vials on their bodies as well. To us, those jade vials are incomparably precious, each drop of blood, each strand of residual soul represents a large amount of merit value. However, to the Rakshasa Clan, those things have no value.”
Qing Mo felt that Zhang Ruochen was making sense, but, again, there was something he couldn’t understand.
The Saints of the Shatuo Seven Realms killed the Rakshasa Clan cultivators and seized the blood and remnants of their souls. The Rakshasa Clan’s cultivators, in turn, killed the Saint of the Shatuo Seven Realms and seized the blood and remnant souls from them back again.
Qing Mo felt confused inside his head and said, “What exactly does it mean?”
Zhang Ruochen said thoughtfully, “Whoever can obtain those blood and remnant souls held in the hands of the Rakshasa Clan will be the first in the Saint Merit War.”
“I don’t care who is the first in the Saints’ Merit Battle, you first return the blood and remnant souls that I have collected, that is something that concerns the survival of the entire Kunlun Realm.”
Qing Mo boldly walked over and shook Zhang Ruochen’s arm.
Zhang Ruochen also felt that trying to seize those blood and remnant souls in the hands of the Rakshasa Clan was almost impossible, so he gently shook his head.
There should be another way.
Qing Mo saw that Zhang Ruochen did not respond at all, so he continued to beg bitterly, saying, “Please, give it back to me!”
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his mind, took Qing Mo’s spatial ring out and pinched it between his two fingers, and said nonchalantly, “With such a small amount of blood and remnants of souls you’ve collected, it’s still a matter of life and death for the Kunlun Realm?”
Qing Mo’s eyes rolled for a moment and said, “You’ve robbed so much blood and remnant souls, why don’t you give me some?”
“That’s quite a beautiful thought.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced at her, then, taking a piece of frozen dragon meat, a wing of a Fire Luan, and a piece of a Stygian Shark’s shark’s fin from inside his spatial ring, he placed them on the ground and said, “Aren’t you a great cook? Take out the best skills of your God of Eating heir and make a delicious meal for this Prince, if this Prince’s mood is once happy, I can’t say that I will definitely give you some blood and remnants of my soul.”
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true.”
Qing Mo’s eyes lit up, then, rolling up his sleeves, revealing his two snow-white arms, he prepared for a big fight.
Compared to hunting the Rakshasa Clan’s cultivators, it was obvious that Qing Mo was more enthusiastic about cooking food. Inside her spatial ring, it was filled with all sorts of top-notch ingredients, ingredients, and cutlery, completely different from what other cultivators prepared when they came to the Battlefield of Merit.
From inside his spatial ring, Zhang Ruochen took out a bronze tabletop and set it up on the bank of the Giant Whale River, which was full of floating corpses and white bones, and took out a pot of Dragon Amazing Wine and poured it into a Luminous Cup.
Zhang Ruochen picked up the Luminous Cup and took a sip against the river breeze that carried the smell of blood.
The Amazing Dragon Wine was quite strong, like magma entering his throat, as if it was trying to melt all his organs.
Not far away, Qing Mo began to cook up, and soon a strong aroma spread out. Those scents, which continuously drifted into the distance, actually suppressed the smell of blood in the sky and earth.
Obviously, he was in a battlefield where crises were everywhere, surrounded by a scene like the Shura Hell, yet, Zhang Ruochen was comfortably drinking and waiting for a delicious meal.
Even Zhang Ruochen himself felt that this was all too unbelievable, making one not know whether he was in reality or inside a dream.
After drinking three cups in a row, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes became a little misty and he finally asked what he wanted to ask, saying, “Why didn’t Huang Yichen come to the Battlefield of Merit?”
Before entering the Sacred Path, Zhang Ruochen had observed the Kunlun Realm’s army of Saints and did not find Huang Yichen’s figure.
Qing Mo hesitated slightly and said, “She’s missing!”
“Missing, how is that possible?”
A brilliant aura appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, not believing Qing Mo’s words.
“Truly missing, no one knows where she has gone, it’s as if she has evaporated from the earth.”Qing Mo said very seriously.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Being one of the Sector Sons of the Kunlun Sector, how could she suddenly go missing? Besides, even if she did go missing, with your status, you would definitely know where she went.”
Qing Mo saw that there was something wrong with Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, and fearing that Zhang Ruochen would strike her, her head shook like a rattle drum as she said, “I really don’t know, I’ve asked Sister Danqing, and she doesn’t know either. County Smokey just disappeared without a trace, what can I do?”
Zhang Ruochen retracted the cold Qi that had escaped, and could determine that Qing Mo had not lied, and it seemed that Huang Yichen had truly disappeared without a trace.
How could this be?
After a long time, Qing Mo carried a foot-long crystal plate in both hands and carefully walked over to Zhang Ruochen, his fingers shaking a little as he placed the crystal plate on top of the table.
In the plate, there was a piece of golden-coloured dragon meat, smoking white and emitting an incomparably strong smell, just by smelling the aroma, it made people want to swallow it in one gulp.
Afterwards, Qing Mo brought up plate after plate of dishes, all of which were delicious on earth.
Zhang Ruochen was still in deep thought, as if his soul had gone out, his eyes were a bit hollow, as if he was not interested in the delicious dishes in front of him at all.
Just at this moment, in the night, but an extremely pleasant and melodious woman’s voice rang out, “What an aromatic smell, let me smell it, there’s dragon meat, there’s Underworld Shark Wings, and there’s also the meat of a Fire Luan……. It’s really great, all of them are what I like to eat.”
“Ta da.”
The sound of footsteps, getting closer and closer.
Immediately, a tall beauty wearing light green holy clothes, carrying her hands behind her back, walked out from the night.
The firelight scattered from the fire not far away reflected on her body, and it could be seen that she was actually wearing a silver-white divine Crystal Crown on her head, and she had an extremely noble aura.
Behind her, she was followed by a green bird with nine heads, its nine pairs of eyes all staring straight at the dishes on the table, and crystalline harumphs flowing out from inside its nine beaks at the same time.
