It turned out that ever since Meng Haoran went into seclusion to refine weapons, Kunlun Mountain had never stopped.
Every 200 years, a Connate Weapon Tribulation would descend on Mount Kunlun. When the Thunder Tribulation ended, it would be followed by merit.
Moreover, the merit that the Heavenly Dao bestowed each time was no more or no less. It was all about a hundred acres.
In the beginning, Guang Chengzi, Cihang, Samantabhadra, and the other disciples of the Clan of Enlightenment were amazed by Meng Haoran's Heavenly Merit.
After all, they had cultivated for so long and had never received a Heavenly Dao reward. Meng Haoran only needed to refine weapons to obtain Heavenly Dao merit.
This shocked everyone from Chan School.
However, as Heavenly Merit fell frequently, the people of Chan School were already used to it.
They could even guess when the Connate Weapon Tribulation would descend and when there would be merit rewards. They even knew how much merit they would receive.
Although everyone was already used to the phenomenon of merit descending from the sky, they were very envious of Meng Haoran for being able to obtain Heavenly Merit.
Heavenly Merit Points were a jack of all trades. If they could obtain the Merit Points that Meng Haoran occupied, their cultivation would have increased greatly.
"If you can master one technique, you can master all techniques. Since Eldest Senior Brother is so proficient in artifact refinement, he must have some experience in cultivation.
If I ask him for advice, I'll definitely gain a lot. I might even be able to increase my cultivation.”
In a cave abode, Immortal Tai Yi was daydreaming with anticipation in his eyes.
Ever since the Primordial Heaven Supreme preached the Dao to the people of the Clan of Enlightenment, the cultivation of Perfected Tai Yi had not increased substantially.
Even though he was cultivating in seclusion, he didn't gain anything. His cultivation seemed to have reached a bottleneck, which made Immortal Tai Yi extremely distressed.
Therefore, Immortal Tai Yi thought.
Since Eldest Senior Brother had the time to refine artifacts, his cultivation must not have fallen behind. Perhaps he had gained a lot of insight. Otherwise, how could he have the time to refine artifacts?
If Meng Haoran could give him some pointers, he would definitely gain something.
Thinking of this, Immortal Tai Yi didn't delay any longer.
"If something goes wrong, you have to look for Eldest Senior Brother to solve it. This is absolutely right!”
As soon as Immortal Tai Yi finished speaking, he hurriedly stood up and flew towards Haoran Palace.
……
Kunlun Mountain, Haoran Palace.
Meng Haoran sat cross-legged at the head of the hall. There were four items placed in front of him.
The leftmost item was a jade brush that looked like glass. The brush was engraved with countless Dao patterns and emitted a heavy aura.
The tip of the jade brush was flowing with a sharp golden energy, as if it had the power to split the sky and shatter the earth, containing the ability to wipe out the world.
The pressure of a middle-grade Postnatal Merit Numinous treasure spread out in all directions along with a majestic literary aura.
Beside the jade brush, a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wing floated.
The Xuan paper was crystal clear, and there were countless Dao patterns that outlined the patterns of clouds and mist, adding patterns to the paper.
The Xuan paper looked thin and fragile, but it was actually extremely tough. No matter how hard it was torn, it could not be destroyed.
A majestic power of Heavenly Merit covered the surface of the paper.
On the other side of the Xuan paper was a pitch-black inkstone. On it were mountains, rivers, and lakes, and there were scenes of clouds and mist.
The pressure of a middle-grade Postnatal Merit Numinous treasure accompanied the might of suppressing all things, causing the void to fluctuate.
The last item was a ball of sticky spiritual ink. Every drop of ink emitted a majestic Dao rune, as if it was as heavy as a mountain.
These four items were the Four Treasures of the Study, which were also the magic treasures that Meng Haoran had refined over the years. Each of them was a middle-grade Postnatal Merit Numinous Treasure.
"The Four Treasures of the Study, including the God-stunning Brush, Xuan Paper, Mountain River Inkstone, and Hunyuan Ink, have finally been refined.”
Meng Haoran spent hundreds of years to finally refine the Four Treasures of the Study.
When each of them was refined, they would obtain Heavenly Dao Merit, which would allow them to advance to a middle-grade Postnatal Merit Numinous treasure.
Moreover, every time Meng Haoran refined a literary treasure, he would receive a large amount of literary qi, allowing his cultivation to slowly increase.
Now that he had successfully refined all four of the literary treasures, the boundless literary qi that he had received was enough to increase his cultivation by a small margin.
"Buzz!"
The Four Treasures of the Study trembled at the same time. Each of them lit up with dazzling multicolored light, and majestic literary qi gushed out.
"Hualala!"
The God-stunning Brush surged with boundless literary energy, giving birth to countless illusory words that turned into a river of words that fused into Meng Haoran's body.
The Xuan paper vibrated slightly, and the surging literary Qi turned into clouds and mist. It rose and flowed into Meng Haoran's body through his acupuncture points.
The Mountain and River Inkstone lit up with brilliant multicolored light, triggering a majestic aura that transformed into a phenomenon of mountains and rivers and rushed into Meng Haoran's body.
The Primeval Ink was extremely sticky. Every drop of the Spiritual Ink spurted out a majestic literary aura, like the blood essence of all living beings, attaching to Meng Haoran's body.
When the Four Treasures of the Study were refined, they contained boundless literary Qi, which could help Confucian cultivators improve their literary Qi and noble Qi.
It had to be known that these four magic treasures had taken Meng Haoran nearly 800 years to refine. The literary qi contained in them could be said to be incomparably majestic.
Under the washing of the majestic literary Qi, Meng Haoran directly operated the Confucius Sacred Chapter, turning the surging literary Qi into Righteousness Qi, which washed through his limbs and bones.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
In Meng Haoran's bones and meridians, there was a vast sea of Righteousness Qi surging and undulating. The boundless energy tempered every part of his body.
"Hualala!"
Meng Haoran's body was surrounded by dazzling light. The Righteousness Qi transformed into the Righteous Sword Intent, tempering the Nine-holed Exquisite Heart.
In the blink of an eye, the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart in Meng Haoran's body emitted a majestic Righteousness Qi. Countless words interweaved with each other, as if they were about to give birth to a Confucian chapter.
As Meng Haoran absorbed the majestic literary energy from the Four Treasures of the Study, the aura around him fluctuated, and the mighty pressure instantly soared.
"Bang!"
With a loud boom, the pressure of the middle stage of Virtue burst out from Meng Haoran's body. The majestic Righteousness Qi turned into the Righteous Sword Will, covering the void in all directions.
The majestic power suppressed the nine heavens. Endless clouds rolled down, and the mountains were shattered by the vast sword will. The earth was left with crisscrossing sword marks.
The Heaven and Earth Dao patterns transformed into Confucian words as if they were describing the truth of all things.
The Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart in Meng Haoran's body gave off a majestic and powerful beating sound, as if celestial music was playing in the heavens.
In the 800 years that Meng Haoran had been refining the Four Treasures of the Study, his cultivation had also been slowly increasing, accumulating a vast foundation.
Now, he had even absorbed the majestic literary energy contained in the Four Treasures of the Study. His Confucian cultivation was like water flowing into a river, directly breaking through the middle stage of Virtue.
Although he had only broken through a small realm, Meng Haoran was already very satisfied.
After all, he had spent most of his energy on refining weapons, but his cultivation was still growing. This was already very rare.
If it was someone else, they would at most be able to refine a magic weapon. How would they have the energy to increase their cultivation?
"My cultivation has increased, and I've gained a little. Moreover, the Four Treasures of the Study have been refined. In the future, I can use them to create poems, songs, and other things.”
Meng Haoran sighed with a look of anticipation.
