"System, what's with the merit points?”
Qin Shangyu stared blankly at the merit points. He still could not understand when he had obtained so many merit points.
Merit points were converted by other people's admiration or faith in Taoism.
However, he didn't seem to have done anything these few days, right?
He had been planning all this while. The big thing hadn't even started yet!
"Host."
At this time, when he heard Qin Shangyu's question, the system's voice appeared in his mind.
The next second, the mechanical voice replied succinctly,"These merit points mainly come from the respect of the Taoist priests and the soldiers of the Blade Military District. Among them, the merit points from the Taoist priests accounted for 30% of the total merit points, and the military accounted for 50%.”
"Wait…Wait a minute."
Qin Shangyu's mind was blank. He carefully calculated the account the system said and then asked in disbelief,"Why do I get more merit points because I'm a soldier?”
In Qin Shangyu's opinion, his disciples and junior brothers and sisters respected him far more than those soldiers, so he should be able to get more merit points from them.
But in the end, why was it the opposite?
Could it be that the system preferred the soldiers?
Qin Shangyu was suspicious and waited for the system to give him an explanation. The system did not hesitate and immediately explained,"Because your disciples, junior brothers, junior sisters, and martial nephews have always respected you, the degree of respect they have now hasn't increased much compared to before, so the merit points they receive are relatively less.”
" Compared to the Taoist priests, the soldiers of the Blade Military District didn't have any respect for you. But now, because of your previous performance, they feel that you're unfathomable and can't be underestimated, so they've produced more merit points.”
"I see!" After the system explained, Chu He came to a realization.
However, the merit points from the Taoist priests and soldiers only accounted for 80%. Where did the remaining 20% come from?
Qin Shangyu frowned and asked,""What about the remaining 20%?”
"It comes from fortune-telling and spirit water from the spirit fields. [You have made full use of them, allowing them to display their value.]”The system answered briefly and asked mechanically,""Do you have any other questions?”
" Not for the time being…" Qin Shangyu nodded thoughtfully, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He didn't expect that he would be able to obtain an additional 20% merit value by just playing a little trick and casually doing a divination to get the spiritual field and spiritual water.
One had to know that these merit points were only converted from reverence, not faith!
If under his influence, the special forces soldiers became obedient, then wouldn't the merit points that they converted be sky-high?
If he put in more effort and did something that would shake the world in the future and influence enough believers, wouldn't he be able to earn tens of thousands of merit points?
With so many merit points, he could exchange for enough spells and magic tools. Even if he became a god in the sky, wouldn't it be a matter of a snap of his fingers?
With a little imagination, Qin Shangyu suddenly felt full of motivation. He wished that the female soldiers of the Sharp Blade would find him to solve the problem as soon as possible.
However, Qin Shangyu also knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed. He had to be steady.
"Phew…"
Qin Shangyu let out a light breath to calm down his excited mood. He smiled and directly switched the character attribute panel in front of him to the store exchange panel.
In an instant, a magnificent immortal palace appeared in Qin Shangyu's mind.
His consciousness entered the immortal palace. Clouds and mist surrounded him, and immortal music curled up.
The Immortal Palace was divided into many levels. It was not necessary to look up, and they definitely could not afford it. They just had to wander around the first level.
Then, Qin Shangyu's consciousness walked around the Immortal Palace for the first time. Looking at the three categories of spells, ritual implements, and martial arts in front of him, Qin Shangyu hesitated for a moment and chose the ritual implement category confidently.
However, with just one glance, Qin Shangyu immediately exited the list and leaned back on the recliner uncomfortably.
Even the cheapest magic tool cost 1,500 merit points. With his current progress, he didn't know how long it would take to accumulate 1,500 merit points.
Qin Shangyu came back to his senses and stared at the categories in front of him for a while. Finally, he frowned and hesitated to choose the column of spells.
Qin Shangyu quickly glanced at it and shook his head in disappointment again.
Everything was as he had expected. The cheapest spell was worth hundreds of thousands of merit points.
In other words…
Qin Shangyu's eyes were locked on the category of martial arts. He sighed slightly and clicked on this option.
The so-called " Kung Fu " in the system was not as simple as the literal meaning. The " Kung Fu " here referred to the secret techniques of Taoism, which were related to " cultivation ". It was amazing, and some of them were even comparable to Xianxia novels.
For example, mortal martial arts were not listed because they were not qualified enough!
After browsing for a moment, Qin Shangyu shifted his gaze to the name Five Elements Taiji Fist.
Taiji was the origin of all things in Taoism. The Five Elements were the root of all things and coexisted with Yin and Yang. The Five-Element Taiji Fist was the foundation of entering the Dao. It could help the cultivator understand the Dao that was consistent between heaven and earth. It could help the cultivator to nourish the heart and stabilize the nature, gather qi and restrain the spirit.
This was exactly what the Daoists wanted.
Apart from that, the Five-Element Taiji Fist also combined body movement, attack, and Qi cultivation into one. It required the practitioner to combine their thoughts, breathing, and body movements. The main focus was to adjust the body and guide the body.
As a Taoist priest, Qin Shangyu had mastered Taiji Fist.
However, the Taiji Fist that Qin Shangyu mastered was only a little better than the Taiji Fist that the old man in the park practiced to strengthen his body. It was useless in fighting.
As for the Five Elements Taiji Fist in the system, it was even more profound than the Taiji Fist of the secular world. There was a huge difference in essence. It could even be said that Taiji Fist and Five Elements Taiji Fist were two completely different things.
The former was used to strengthen the body in the secular world, while the latter was used by the Taoist sect to cultivate!
As for the Five-Element Taiji Fist, although it was only an introductory technique of Taoism, it was used to strengthen the body and build the foundation. According to the system, it was not even considered a technique because it did not have much lethality. It was only an introductory technique of Taoism, but this was because the system's vision was too high.
In fact, if this set of Taiji Fist was practiced to the extreme, in terms of actual combat ability, it would be much more powerful than the Weapon King in the army.
And this was only the most unrated skill in the system, which was used to build the foundation!
One could imagine how awesome the other things in the system would be.
However, it just so happened that the Five Elements Taiji Fist only required 500 merit points, which was within Qin Shangyu's ability to exchange, so he could only exchange for this item. It was better than nothing.
Qin Shangyu pondered for a moment and opened the page of Five Elements Taiji Fist. The more he read, the happier his face became.
[Five Elements Taiji Fist: The foundation of Taoist cultivation. It has many functions such as taking care of one's temperament, strengthening one's body, fighting and fighting. It is one of the introductory chapters of Taoist cultivation.]
What made Qin Shangyu most satisfied was the last sentence of the introduction.
"Those who exchange for the Five Elements Taiji Fist can directly grasp the complete Taiji Fist and obtain the essence of Taiji Fist!”
Just this sentence alone was worth the 500 merit points he had spent on Taiji Fist!
Moreover, after he learned the Five-Element Taiji Fist, he could teach it to the others in the temple.
Qin Shangyu stared at Taiji Fist with a smile and clicked the "exchange" button without hesitation. Immediately after, an inexplicable force suddenly penetrated Qin Shangyu's entire body, as if it had opened up every meridian in his body, making his body warm up.
This feeling was like soaking his body in warm spring water. He could clearly feel the cold qi in his body being forced out, and even his brain became more and more awake.
Then, without any warning, every move of the Five Elements Taiji Fist and the method of circulating it were all imprinted in Qin Shangyu's mind.
As for Qin Shangyu's understanding of Taiji and the Five Elements, his mastery of the Five Elements Taiji Fist had reached its peak in an instant.
