Chapter 19: The Four Sacrifices of the Oracle

After Li Jia left, Chen Mengyuan sat down next to Qi Gao.

"Big sister, why are you here?"

After a few minutes of rest, Qi Gao had regained some strength, and although it was still a little difficult to stand up, it was still okay if he just spoke.

"I found out that you called me when I got out of class, and I thought you would call again after class, but unfortunately I didn't wait for your call until class. After class, I was worried about what happened to you, so I asked the teacher for leave and rushed here. ā€

"Fortunately, the eldest sister, you came, otherwise I would have been miserable." Qi Gao said with emotion, if Chen Mengyuan came a few minutes late, his eyes would definitely be blinded by him.

"This is for you, it was given by the woman next to you just now." Chen Mengyuan handed the note given by Li Jia to Qi Gao.

The woman next to him? Is it the bastard who stopped him, didn't let him go to the hospital, and finally made others think that he was going to commit suicide by falling out of love?

"What did she leave a note for me?" Qi Gao took the note, "This is?" Li Jia? And a phone number? ā€

"She told you to call her if you have something." Chen Mengyuan explained.

Qi Gao wanted to crumple the note directly and throw it away. But it doesn't feel good, after all, people have no malice.

Moreover, Chen Mengyuan doesn't understand the situation, and in her heart, she may think that Li Jia is a good person who helped Qi Gao with eye pain. Treating Li Jia's note in front of Chen Mengyuan like this may lower his evaluation in Chen Mengyuan's heart, feeling that he is a ruthless person who does not know how to repay his kindness.

So, Qi Gao casually stuffed the note into his pocket, planning to go back and throw it somewhere casually, isn't it just a note anyway? It doesn't take up much space.

"Big sister, what's going on with my eyes? How can it hurt so much? Why does it feel a little weird now? ā€

Qi Gao found that his left eye couldn't open at all, and not only that, he touched his left eye and found that his eye didn't feel anything.

"My power is thunder and lightning, not healing." Chen Mengyuan said.

"I know that." Qi Gao felt that there were other meanings in Chen Mengyuan's words.

"So I can't fix your eyes." Chen Mengyuan said again.

"But isn't my pain gone now?" Qi Gao asked strangely.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ I burned off the nerve around your left eye. ā€

"Because the nerves have been burned out, so I don't feel pain?"

Chen Mengyuan nodded.

"So you will be numb, and you won't feel it when you are touched?"

Chen Mengyuan nodded again.

"I—I'm not blind in my left eye, is I?" Qi Gao suddenly panicked, although he knew that in that case, this was the best choice, but Qi Gao still couldn't accept the fact that he was blind in his left eye.

"Your eyes won't be blind."

Chen Mengyuan replied firmly, and her tone made people trust her.

"Eldest sister, do you know a god worshipper with healing powers?"

"I don't know."

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ The nerves have been destroyed, and even if you have surgery to replace your eyes, you can't cure them, right? ā€

Qi Gao remembered that Chen Mengyuan once said that if he had a problem with his eyes, he would pay someone to help him with surgery and replace his eyes, but now his eyes are no longer cured by surgery.

"Your eyes, as long as you leave them alone, will naturally heal themselves."

"Ugh!" Qi Gao's eyes widened, "Is this kind of thing possible?" …… Wait, is it a fragment of an oracle in the eye? ā€

"Yes, you're lucky enough to have access to a power called sacrifice."

"Sacrifice?" Qi Gao asked puzzled.

"Sacrifice is one of the four forms of the oracle, and it has extremely powerful power, even if you know the method and steps, it may not be successful, and you actually made it in a daze."

"What are the four oracles?" After receiving Chen Mengyuan's praise, Qi Gao's vanity was greatly satisfied, but from Chen Mengyuan's words, Qi Gao found a new term that he was interested in.

"The four oracle styles are the four strongest skills of the worshippers. They are the eyes of the heart, the two rituals, the sacrifice, and the gift of the gods, and as long as you master one of them, you can be called a strong person. ā€

"Oh? What exactly are these four skills? What's the use? Qi Gao suddenly became interested, he had mastered the sacrifice, didn't that mean that he was already a strong man?

"You are a worshipper of the gods, and you can be regarded as my disciple, these basic knowledge, one day I will tell you, since I am free now, let's talk about it briefly, you have to listen carefully." Chen Mengyuan said to Qi Gao.

"Hmm."

Qi Gao nodded, not daring to be distracted.

"Let's talk about the heart eye first, the heart eye skill is an extremely powerful and universal skill. Legend has it that if you cultivate to the depths, you can know anything within the scope of your heart's eyes, and you can even see the future. Of course, I'm far from reaching that realm, so I can only use it to find people and soul beasts. ā€

"That's pretty good, too." Qi Gao looked at Chen Mengyuan enviously, "...... Can you teach me? ā€

"You don't need to learn the skill of the heart eye, when you are strong enough to a certain extent, you can naturally learn it."

"Then when will I be as strong as the eldest sister when I learned to have a heart eye?"

"If it goes well, it will take about a year."

As soon as Chen Mengyuan's words fell, Qi Gao immediately said happily: "That means that in just one year, I can learn the heart eye?" ā€

Although a year is still a bit long, Qi Gao is still happy.

"Do you want to learn the eye of the heart in a year? Impossible. Chen Mengyuan ruthlessly extinguished the heat in Qi Gao's heart.

"But, eldest sister, you?"

"My heart eye is different from the ordinary heart eye, even if I am now, my strength is still quite far from learning the average heart eye."

"That, eldest sister, why don't you just teach me your heart?"

Qi Gao scratched his head, a little disappointed, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt normal, didn't he say that as long as he learned one of the four oracle styles, he was a strong man? If he could become a strong man in a year, he wouldn't believe it.

"My eyes are different from those of a normal heart."

"Aren't they all heart-eyed?" Qi Gao asked.

Chen Mengyuan explained: "My heart eye has a large range and is suitable for searching, while the ordinary heart eye has a small range, but it has a great bonus to combat. ā€

"One support, one battle, it's really hard to choose." Qi Gao touched his chin and thought.

"It is recommended that you wait until your strength is enough to learn the ordinary heart, two people of the same level duel head-on, if nothing else, the side with the heart is almost sure to win."

"This! Then why does the eldest sister want to learn this heart now? ā€

"A lot of times, a fight doesn't have to be a head-on confrontation."

Qi Gao understood, that is, the difference between ranged and melee combat, cunning and integrity, if you like the front, choose the ordinary, if you like to play dark, choose Chen Mengyuan.

"There's still time anyway, let's talk about it later."

"If you want to learn whichever you want, you can think about it slowly. Next, there is the two instruments in the four oracle styles, and the skill of two instruments is definitely the watershed between the strong and the weak. …… Now you still don't want to know that it will affect your progress, you just need to know that only people who have the heart of a real strong man can learn this skill. ā€

"Really?"

Qi Gao nodded, it seemed that even Chen Mengyuan hadn't learned this skill yet. To learn this skill, do you have to have a strong mind? But what kind of mind does it take to be strong? How do you know if your mind isn't strong enough without trying? Maybe his mind is unexpectedly strong? Listening to Chen Mengyuan's tone, she should know the cultivation method, and she will find a way to ask it in the future.

"After that, it's sacrifice, sacrifice is an extremely powerful and extremely dangerous skill, and the weak person can only die if he performs sacrifice."

"Will you die?" Qi Gao's mouth opened wide in surprise, he couldn't close it for a long time, he didn't think he had enough strength to use sacrifice without dying, "Then what's going on with my left eye?" Could it be that I am the only one who is weak and has used this skill without dying? ā€

"Stop daydreaming, your left eye is nothing more than a degraded version of the sacrifice." Chen Mengyuan glanced at Qi Gao.

"Oh." Qi Gao shook his head in disappointment, he knew that nothing so good would happen to him.

"Now, let me elaborate on the sacrifice."

Qi Gao immediately mentioned the twelve spirits, what Chen Mengyuan said next, but it was related to himself, he must definitely listen carefully, and it is best not to miss a little content.

"Sacrifice, for a long time, has always been a ritual performed by people to obtain the power of the gods. The worshippers of the gods are no exception, and the sacrifice of the worshippers of the gods can obtain a power far beyond their own strength, of course, since it is called a sacrifice, the price must be paid. ā€

"At what cost?" Qi Gao asked involuntarily.

Chen Mengyuan did not answer, but continued: "However, the sad thing is that the person who gained his strength through sacrifice was finally killed by his own power, which is really ironic. ā€

Chen Mengyuan paused, but this time Qi Gao obediently did not interject, because through just now, Qi Gao already knew that Chen Mengyuan was just organizing ideas now, even if you asked her questions, she would not answer. If you want to ask a question, it's best to wait until she's finished.

"Sacrifice comes at a great price, and it is a great price, but many people can afford it for the sake of strength. But the biggest problem is that the power gained through sacrifice is permanent, which may seem great, but this is the source of the pain of this skill. Because the power of the sacrifice is too great, the person who performs the sacrifice will eventually explode and die because he cannot control this too powerful force. ā€

Chen Mengyuan smiled, as if he had seen through Qi Gao's thoughts, and said to him, "Do you want to ask if anyone can control that power?" The answer, of course, is yes.

It's just that for people who can already control the energy generated by the sacrifice, this skill is very weak, because in the same era, there are only two or three people in the world who can control the power of sacrifice, and there are very few battles between them, and even if there is a battle, the power of the sacrifice only increases the chance of victory, but it has to pay a great price.

Therefore, sacrifice is very frustrating for people of that level, and generally when people of that level fight, the other party does not use it, and they will not use it. ā€

"In other words, the skill of sacrificing will die if the weak use it, and the strong disdain to use it?" Qi Gao was speechless, from this point of view, sacrificing this skill is really chicken.

Chen Mengyuan nodded, then changed his tone and said, "However, sacrificing this skill, which can quickly make people gain power permanently, still makes many people blush. Countless people have been researching it in order to obtain the power of sacrifice.

After countless generations of research and refinement, they finally came up with a degraded version of the sacrifice that cost less and gained considerable power. As a result, it has been sought after by countless people who are eager for power, so that this technology has been continuously improved, and now the success rate is very high. ā€

"My current state is that degraded version of the sacrifice? What is the price to pay? "Qi Gao cares more about what price he needs to pay than what power he gets.

"Your eyes."

"Eyes?"

"The function of this degraded sacrifice is to combine the power of the sacrifice with a certain part of the devotee, so that that part of the sacrifice can gain strong and special power. It's a pity that because this part of the ** is too strong for the human body to bear, it must be sealed at ordinary times, and when it transforms, ** is strong enough to withstand the power of sacrifice, you can unlock the seal and use the power in actual combat. ā€

"So I'm already doomed to blind?"

"No, due to the power of the sacrifice, your eyes will have a much stronger recovery power than your body when you transformed, because it is not yet complete, so the strength is a little weaker, and it will take a few hours to heal your eyes. Because it's not finished yet, you can revoke it, and I can find someone to help you undo the sacrifice if you want. ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Do you have to pay a price if you want to gain power? "Eyes and strength, Qi Gao can't make a decision, although he is still very weak, he doesn't want to be strong, he doesn't want to sacrifice in order to gain strength, it's just that what if he encounters a situation like last night?

"Eldest sister, why didn't you use the sacrifice? If you want to, the eldest sister, you will definitely succeed, right? Because he really couldn't make a decision, Qi Gao turned his gaze to Chen Mengyuan, wanting to hear her thoughts.
