Chapter 146: Gold Coins Found! A Power of Ten Thousand Merits!
Chapter 146: Gold Coins Found! A Power of Ten Thousand Merits!
They noticed it immediately.
The treasure inside the chest was actually merit!
"The power of merit!"
"That's incredible!"
"I never imagined that our temple would contain such a treasure as the power of merit?"
"..."
The Ten Heavenly Kings exclaimed in surprise, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Have you unearthed any meritorious deeds?"
"This kid's luck is really something else!"
Bixiao was also moved.
"Oh?"
"Is it a meritorious deed?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng was secretly surprised. He glanced down and saw a golden stream of energy gathering inside the golden treasure chest.
With just a slight sense of it, one can feel a sense of peace and tranquility.
Chen Changsheng was no stranger to the power of merit.
It should be noted that this item is extremely precious in the prehistoric world, and can be considered a panacea.
Because merit can not only be used to forge treasures and improve cultivation, but also to condense a body of merit.
In addition, if one has enough merit, and with the help of the Primordial Purple Qi that forms the foundation for sainthood, one can also attain sainthood!
The six saints of the heavens today have all attained enlightenment through merit.
Nuwa molded humans from clay and thus gained the merit of creating humankind.
The Three Pure Ones established the Three Teachings, and the Two Sages of the West established the Western Teachings; both of them gained immense merit from this.
With the addition of the purple energy distributed to them by Dao Ancestor Hongjun during his sermon at Zixiao Palace, they were able to attain sainthood and become saints.
That is why the power of merit is not only important to ordinary cultivators, but also highly valued by saints!
Just as Chen Changsheng was observing, a system notification sounded in his mind:
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations, Master, you have received: 100,000 Heavenly Merits!]
"Only 100,000 merits?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng was secretly surprised.
Although he knew about the power of merit, he had little concept of how to quantify it.
I don't know if this 100,000 merits is a lot or a little.
"I never expected to get merit points from this level 5 treasure chest!"
"I thought it was some other kind of treasure!"
Chen Changsheng muttered to himself, "This merit-based event is somewhat unexpected."
Just then, Qin Wan and the other ten Heavenly Lords recovered from their shock and congratulated them with smiles on their faces:
Congratulations, Nephew Changsheng!
"My nephew's fortune is truly... astounding!"
"Even the power of merit can be obtained in this way; my nephew is truly blessed!"
"..."
Even the Ten Heavenly Kings couldn't hide their envy when they said this.
After all, this was merit power unearthed within their own dojo.
Unfortunately, they had made a promise beforehand.
If Chen Changsheng can find any opportunities or treasures in their dojo, then they will all belong to Chen Changsheng.
Words spoken are like water spilled; they cannot be taken back.
Upon seeing this, Bixiao also offered her congratulations:
"Congratulations, my nephew, on another fortunate opportunity!"
"This power of merit is no ordinary thing; we must make good use of it."
Hearing what everyone said, Chen Changsheng smiled faintly.
The next moment, he casually waved his hand, and then it was seen that half of the merit in the treasure chest was activated by him.
"Swish..."
Immediately afterwards, the 50,000 merits that Chen Changsheng had drawn upon were evenly divided into ten parts and fell directly into the bodies of the Ten Heavenly Lords.
In an instant, Ten Heavenly Lord felt a warm and vast power surge into his body.
Some obscure and difficult points from my past practice have begun to loosen as merit enters my body.
In addition, the karma they each carried seemed to have been washed away and diluted.
"this?"
"Nephew! What's going on?"
"They actually shared their merit power with us?"
"Nephew Changsheng, you mustn't!"
"Yes! We agreed beforehand that if my junior brother finds an opportunity, it will be yours!"
"..."
The ten Heavenly Kings all spoke up, each one both surprised and delighted.
No one expected that Chen Changsheng would actually share half of his merit power with them.
Chen Changsheng smiled faintly and said:
"My fellow disciples."
"Although this merit was unearthed by your disciple, it still occurred within the dojo of all of you senior uncles."
"How can a disciple enjoy this all by himself?"
"Besides, it's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone!"
Although the Ten Heavenly Lords had promised that if Chen Changsheng could find an opportunity in their dojo, it would all be Chen Changsheng's.
That's true.
But in Chen Changsheng's view, it would be too unseemly of him to keep all these merits for himself.
Moreover, the Ten Heavenly Kings were extremely loyal to the Jie Sect, which Chen Changsheng greatly admired.
The merit points weren't much, but they could be exchanged for a favor from one of the Ten Heavenly Kings, which Chen Changsheng considered extremely worthwhile.
At this moment, the Ten Heavenly Lords' faces were full of admiration after hearing what Chen Changsheng said.
After all, they never expected that Chen Changsheng would give them half of his merits.
After a brief silence, Qin Wantian stepped forward, looking at Chen Changsheng with admiration, and said:
"Nephew Changsheng, such a generous gift... we are somewhat unworthy of it!"
"If my nephew ever needs anything in the future, as long as it does not violate our doctrines, he only needs to say the word, and we will certainly not hesitate to help!"
As Qin Wan spoke, the other Heavenly Lords echoed his sentiments:
"Big brother is right."
"If you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!"
"..."
Although Chen Changsheng gave away half of his merits, even if he divided them among the ten people, each person would not receive much merit.
However, such behavior earned the admiration of the Ten Heavenly Lords.
After all, if it were anyone else, they would have kept all the merit for themselves.
Hearing what the Ten Heavenly Lords said, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and nodded, saying:
"My fellow disciples are too kind. This is just a small token of my appreciation."
"Of course, if I ever need any help from you senior uncles in the future, I will shamelessly ask you for your assistance."
Upon hearing this, the Ten Heavenly Kings all burst into laughter.
They felt that Chen Changsheng's place was quite to their liking.
After witnessing this scene, Bixiao's impression of Chen Changsheng improved considerably.
"I didn't expect this kid to be so good at handling people."
"Even if there was a prior promise, it's as if the merits gained were distributed among the Ten Heavenly Kings!"
Bixiao secretly sighed, thinking that Chen Changsheng, her junior apprentice, was quite good.
Then, Chen Changsheng and Bixiao didn't linger. They bid farewell to the Ten Heavenly Lords and left together.
Before long, the two had left the Ten Heavenly Lords' dojo.
After walking a short distance, Chen Changsheng suddenly stopped.
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Bixiao was slightly surprised, wondering what Chen Changsheng was up to.
At that moment, Chen Changsheng had a sudden thought and directly gave half of the remaining 50,000 merits to Bixiao.
"Uncle-Master Bixiao, thank you for guiding and protecting us along the way. Please accept this small token of our gratitude."
Bixiao was stunned as she watched the power of merit fly down from Chen Changsheng's hand.
