Chapter 431: Merit and Karma
When Feng Xiaowu was exploring his own attributes, he found something that shocked him.
That's his merit, I don't know when, unconsciously less than a thousand points.
This is a big thing that shocked Feng Xiaowu very much!
Merit is extremely hard to obtain!
Feng Xiaowu often used the detection technique to observe carefully during this period of time, and there was almost no merit visible to ordinary people.
Through observation and attempts, Feng Xiaowu probably concluded that merit is not only good deeds, but also abandonment of utilitarianism.
It's not as simple as saving someone and gaining a little merit. According to Feng Xiaowu's summary for such a long time, it is estimated that he has helped an average of ten people without utilitarianism before he can probably gain a little merit!
That's a very difficult thing to do!
The more than 1,000 merits that Feng Xiaowu lost in vain are unattainable heights for the vast majority of people in the world!
At first glance, he found that he had lost so much merit, which frightened Feng Xiaowu.
What did you do to reduce your merits by doing something that hurt nature and reason?
These more than 1,000 merits are only a drop in the bucket compared to the 1.5 million merits on his body.
However, merit is so rare and so important! Losing so much merit for no reason is a big deal!
Feng Xiaowu hurriedly called out the bone spirit.
"Bone Spirit, why is the merit on my body less than a thousand points for no reason?" Feng Xiaowu asked.
"You don't know yourself, how do I know where you've gotten your merits?" The bone spirit had a lot of complaints about Feng Xiaowu's questioning.
The bone spirit's answer was beyond Feng Xiaowu's expectations.
"You're not prevaricating me, are you? How could you not be aware of the change in my merits? Feng Xiaowu asked suspiciously.
Feng Xiaowu couldn't understand that even the experience changes in his own body were systematically prompted, how could such an important merit have changed without warning?
The ancient spirit claimed that it was the so-called system spirit, how could it not be aware of the change in merit?
"Merit is not within my control at all. If I had been able to control your merits, I would have snatched them away a long time ago, and I would not have left you at all. Bone Spirit said angrily.
I can't get half a cent cheaper, and I still come to find it when I lose something, how can I not be annoyed in my heart?
Feng Xiaowuyi thought, this is indeed the case. With the character of the bone spirit, if only it could control the merits of itself and a few pets. Why did the bone spirit bother to beg himself in a low voice several times and use all kinds of means to exchange merit?
If the bone spirit can directly take away the merits, the merits on Feng Xiaowu and a few pets will probably be gone.
Feng Xiaowu also gradually summed up some characteristics of the bone spirit.
This guy Gu Ling, some of his words may be a little untrue, and he is indeed suspected of deception to Feng Xiaowu. For example, the bone spirit's description of his identity, Feng Xiaowu was very skeptical.
But in the relationship between Feng Xiaowu and the bone spirit, Feng Xiaowu seems to be more dominant.
The bone spirit couldn't do anything against Feng Xiaowu's wishes. Therefore, Feng Xiaowu has eaten the bone spirit many times.
In this case, Feng Xiaowu also believes that it should not be a ghost made by the bone spirit.
"Since it's not your ghost, then check where all the merits went?" Feng Xiaowu said.
The bone spirit closed its eyes and remained motionless, as if it was tracing something by some means?
After a long while, the bone spirit opened his eyes and said, "The problem is the 'Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade'. ”
"What's wrong with the 'Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade'?" Feng Xiaowu asked nervously.
"Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade" is the best treasure obtained by Feng Xiaowu's promotion. When I first arrived, it was just called "Nourishing Jade".
In Feng Xiaowu's opinion, the magical effect of the initial "Divine Cultivation Jade" had already surpassed the artifact on the Phantom Beast Continent!
Therefore, Feng Xiaowu spared no expense to use the equipment upgrade opportunity obtained by completing the "Settlement Mission" on the original "Cultivating Divine Jade". The "Soul Nourishing Jade", which originally had only one attribute, was upgraded to the "Soul Refining and Nourishing Jade" with four more magical attributes.
Today's "Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade" is definitely the first treasure on Feng Xiaowu!
This is a peerless treasure that transcends the realm of artifacts!
If there is a problem with the "Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade", it will become a chicken rib because of the loss of merit. This is like a bolt from the blue for Feng Xiaowu.
"You have used the 'Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade' to refine a large number of remnant souls, and you will definitely lose some merit in the process. All the merit that has disappeared from you is lost here. The bone spirit said.
"The one absorbed by the 'Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade' is only a remnant soul, even if it is not a living soul, it is not an undead soul, at best it is just some soul energy fragments, right?
Even if I don't use these remnants, the final fate of these remnants will only dissipate over time.
If I refine these remnant souls that are not conscious and incomplete, why do I still lose merit? ”
Feng Xiaowu frowned, very puzzled.
"The things of the soul are too profound for anyone to say? After the death of a living being, even if the soul leaves the body, the remaining part of the remnant soul in the corpse may be tainted with cause and effect. You refine these remnant souls, and these causes and effects will naturally fall on you. The bone spirit said.
"You mean to say that my use of these remnant souls is no different from mutilating living beings to refine them?" Feng Xiaowu felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"It's different! The essence of the remnant soul is, as you say, just fragments of soul energy.
There are millions of demonic beast remnants you have extracted, close to tens of millions! You've only lost more than a thousand merits!
If you want to kill so many living beings, or if you want to harm so many living souls like a necromancer, the more than 1.5 million merits you have may not be enough to fill this pit! The bone spirit said.
Feng Xiaowu was really creepy to hear!
Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"That's not right!" 'It's not the first time I've used it. As early as a few months ago, he had refined the remnant soul many times. How come you didn't see that this was an obstacle to merit before? Feng Xiaowu said.
Thinking back to the past, I used the "Soul Refining and Divine Cultivation Jade" many times to refine the remnant soul, and I didn't find any abnormalities. Why is there such a sudden change now?
"This is because the 'Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade' has the attribute of 'Protector God'! The so-called Protector attribute is not just a physical way to defend you against the damage of the Divine Soul! It can also invisibly bear cause and effect for you and resist karma!
The previous causal 'Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade' protector attributes have all been resisted for you. And the karma brought about by these causes and effects is accumulated in the soul refining and nourishing jade. The bone spirit said.
Feng Xiaowu didn't expect that the "Protector God" attribute among the four attributes of "Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade" would have such a magical effect!
The four attributes of "Cultivating Spirits", "Protecting Spirits", "Refining Souls", and "Feeding Souls" of Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade are really more magical than the other!
"Then how did it happen to me again?" Feng Xiaowu asked eagerly.
"When the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses!" 'Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade' can't infinitely carry this indigestible karma.
In addition, the last time you used the 'Soul Refining Divine Jade' to refine too many remnant souls, it was like knocking over a bucket. All the karma before and after all falls on you.
That's why there is such a sudden backlash.
Merit and karma cancel each other out, so the merit on your body will disappear more than a thousand points unconsciously. The bone spirit explained to Feng Xiaowu.
Feng Xiaowu frowned when he heard this.
In this way, if you continue to use the "Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade" to refine the remnant soul in the future, wouldn't it be possible to lose merit?
If the remnant soul is no longer used, then the attribute of "soul refining" is basically equivalent to being wasted. If you want to maintain the normal functions of "nourishing the gods", "protecting the gods", and "feeding the souls", you can only consume spiritual power!
And what Feng Xiaowu needs most now is spiritual power.
Not to mention anything else, the Thunder Winged Dapeng Soul that has just started in the "Soul Feeding" area and is being cultivated in the direction of the Phantom Beast, the energy required for the follow-up is an astronomical amount. If it is replaced by all spiritual power, it will definitely drag down Feng Xiaowu's upgrade speed.
All the functions of the "Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade" add up, and the consumption is even more amazing! If you don't use the remnant soul and use spiritual power, this is a big burden for Feng Xiaowu.
"The 'Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade' is very important to me, and I don't want to waste a lot of spiritual power on driving the 'Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade'. Can you think of any way to get the best of both worlds? Feng Xiaowu pondered for a moment and asked the bone spirit.
"It's easy!" The bone spirit rolled his eyes and said.
"Tell me?" Feng Xiaowu said.
"As long as you give me all the merit in your body, and you don't have any merit left, you don't have to worry about the merit being reduced." Bone Spirit said.
"You're dreaming!" Feng Xiaowu suddenly got erect.
This guy is still a thief, and he has always been thinking about his merits.
What is this idea called by the bone spirit?
This is simply a thief's heart is not dead!
"Don't be angry, listen to me." Bone Spirit said.
"You say! Show me how you turn black and white upside down. After I have no merit, I use the 'Soul Refining Divine Jade' to refine the remnant soul, what should I do if I am contaminated with karma? Feng Xiaowu said angrily.
"After abandoning merit, what you want is karma! The more karma, the better!
Merit and karma are two opposite things in and of themselves! Two equally powerful things! Any one that reaches the extreme will produce incredible magical changes!
Merit is like water, and profit is indisputable!
Karma is like fire, and it is violently destroyed!
There is no superiority between the two, and the difference between the superior and the inferior is whether they can be controlled!
'Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade' is an opportunity to harvest endless karma when used properly.
When karma ignites a karmic fire under certain conditions, it is the most terrifying thing in the world! It's time to see if you can handle it. The bone spirit continued to bewitch.
The bone spirit is a very apt metaphor, karma is like a fire that destroys everything, and if you can't control it, it is the most terrifying demon; Being able to harness it can bring unexpected benefits.
"If I were to abandon merit and choose karma, wouldn't I be forever haunted with bad luck, and luck would never be with me again?" Feng Xiaowu sneered and said.
"Merit and karma affect luck to a certain extent, but luck is not the same as merit and karma!
When karma is strong to a certain extent, it is a person who rebels against the heavens!
Those who defy the heavens are beyond everything!
Luck is just a passing cloud, and it can no longer control its fate.
Under normal circumstances, if you are contaminated with karma, you will definitely pour blood mold for eight lifetimes. Karma is entangled, you can't get rid of it, and you can't offset it without merit!
What is even more hateful is that merit and karma are equally rare.
But with the 'Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade', there can be another choice! Endless karma and being a person who defy the heavens is not a choice? The bone spirit said heartily.
"Then why didn't you say it before?" Feng Xiaowu asked.
"You haven't asked before! Besides, I haven't found that the 'Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade' has such a peculiar side effect before, what do those things have to do with you and me? Where does it all begin? The bone spirit said.
Feng Xiaowuyi thinks too, there are more irrelevant things in the world. A person can't listen to all the irrelevant things in a lifetime. What's more, there wasn't much communication between him and the bone spirit. The bone spirit hadn't told him before, so it wasn't strange.
'That's not right!' 'Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade' was originally a system reward that I got from my promotion. Isn't that what you gave me? How could you not know its features? ”
Since Feng Xiaowu smelled the fragrance of colorful orchids, Feng Xiaowu's thinking has become particularly sharp. In the few short words of conversation between Feng Xiaowu and Gu Ling, Feng Xiaowu keenly grasped a lot of things.
The bone spirit was suddenly choked by Feng Xiaowu's question.
The bone spirit knows that if you say too much, you will lose!
Faced with Feng Xiaowu's questioning, Gu Ling chose to remain silent again.
The corners of Feng Xiaowu's mouth showed a hint of a playful smile.
Sometimes, it doesn't matter so much. From the reaction of the bone spirit, Feng Xiaowu captured a lot of things.
In the past, before and after, Feng Xiaowu has mastered enough details.
Feng Xiaowu was very sure, and when the seal on his soul was unlocked, the bone spirit would definitely not be able to escape from his Five Finger Mountain.
"Is karmic fire really as terrifying as you say?" Feng Xiaowu didn't think much of it and continued to ask.
"It's definitely scarier than you think! It should be difficult to find something more terrifying in this world than karmic fire! Even if a spiritual artifact is contaminated with karmic fire, it will turn into mortal iron. The bone spirit said solemnly.
Something that the bone spirit thinks is terrifying, the power can be imagined!
"It's terrifying!" Feng Xiaowu was convinced of this.
"You know, it's amazing! Give me all your merits, abandon your merits and choose karma, and master the most terrifying power in the world! The bone spirit said excitedly.
"No, I have a better choice!" Feng Xiaowu smiled wickedly.
"What?"
Feng Xiaowu summoned the fairy pet white bone ghost.
Feng Xiaowu extracted all the remnant souls from all the demonic beast corpses he had recently collected with the "Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade".
Feng Xiaowu ordered the White Bone Ghost to take the "Soul Refining and Cultivation Jade", turn off the "Protector" function, activate the "Soul Refining" function, and refine all the remnant souls of those newly accepted demonic beasts into soul sand.
The "Protector" function of the "Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade" was turned off, and the soul screams generated during the refining process were quite terrifying.
Feng Xiaowu had already taken precautions against this, and used his powerful spiritual power as a barrier to block these soul damages.
Surprisingly, the Bone Wraith didn't seem to feel anything about this soul scream.
The refining process went smoothly.
Not surprisingly, this time, the White Bone Ghost personally operated it, and the karma on the White Bone Ghost increased by more than twenty points.
With such cooperation, the side effect of "Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade", which I don't know if it is good or bad, has actually become the biggest boost for the growth of the White Bone Ghost.
Feng Xiaowu was very satisfied with the result.
Feng Xiaowu smiled all over his face, and reached out to take back the "Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade" handed over by the White Bone Ghost.
……
The Bone Wraith is an extremely special existence!
Before the White Bone Ghost became Feng Xiaowu's psychic pet, it had more than 18,000 karma on its body. And a wisp of karmic fire has already ignited in the body of the White Bone Ghost!
Feng Xiaowu doesn't have to abandon merit and choose karma at all.
Because the fairy pet white bone ghost is the best choice.
As long as the karma generated during the refining process of the "Soul Refining and Cultivating Divine Jade" is all applied to the White Bone Ghost.
All the problems were solved.
Feng Xiaowu doesn't have to worry about the karma on the white bone ghost. At the same time, it was also found by the Bone Ghost the most suitable path for its growth.
Even if the White Bone Ghost has no skills to advance to the next level, with only the two abilities of the "stand-in bones" that hide his life as a stand-in, and the karmic fire that the bone spirits find terrifying, the future of the White Bone Ghost is worth looking forward to by Feng Xiaowu......
Gu Ling was stunned, and looked at Feng Xiaowu with a dull gaze.
Success is close at hand, and in the blink of an eye, it is a bamboo basket for water.
The bone spirit wanted to hit the wall at this time......
