Chapter 16: Sacrifice

Early in the morning, the Blood Lan Temple had just opened, and Fang Cheng walked in under the gaze of a group of temple guards with solemn expressions.

The whole temple is empty and solemn, and the white walls around it are depicting the heroes of the Haotian Temple for nearly a thousand years, and countless white lilacs are dotted around, outlining a sea of flowers.

In the center of the temple stood a huge fifteen-meter-high statue of the First God, whose hollow eye sockets were filled with a mysterious void aura, and a pale golden halo rippled back and forth on the statue.

In front of the statue there is a one-person high black altar, the altar is surrounded by dense divine inscriptions, and at the bottom of the altar there are two raised divine stones, which represent sacrifice and exchange, respectively, and cultivators can start offering and exchanging as long as they press their hands on the sacred stones.

When Fang Cheng stepped into the temple with one foot, a coercion instantly descended on his heart, making you panic but with a hint of affinity. If you still insist and resist under the pressure of the dragon and the Void Realm, then in this temple, you can only instinctively obey.

"The old man's surname is Nie, you can call me Nie Priest, and I will preside over the sacrifice here!" Nie Licheng, the priest who was guarding in front of the altar, stepped forward and guided in a formulaic manner.

"Fang Cheng, the son of Haotian, has come to sacrifice to... Pray for the blessing of the First God Haotian!" "Even though he had seen the sacrifice procedure many times before, Fang Cheng, who entered the temple for the first time, was still a little nervous.

"Fang Fangcheng?" a haze flashed in Nie Licheng's eyes, "But Fang Cheng who came to the camp in Sin City?"

"Exactly, how do you know..."Fang Cheng replied subconsciously, his heart suddenly tightened, isn't Nie Donghu's uncle a priest here?

"Okay, come with me, the old man asks you, is the sacrifice cleaned?"

Cutting off his nephew's ears and kicking his nephew's full teeth, Nie Licheng couldn't wait to break Fang Cheng's body into pieces immediately, but at this moment, he could only suppress the resentment in his heart and lead Fang Cheng to the altar.

The so-called cleaning here means that there is no debris on the gift certificate that serves as a sacrifice, and the dried blood of the alien demons on it cannot be cleaned up, on the contrary, the more it is contaminated with the fresh blood of the alien demons, the more it can please the first god Haotian, and often give more divine grace.

"Yes!" Fang Cheng knelt in front of the altar, handed the basket containing the divine grace certificate to Nie Licheng, and then pressed his hand on the divine stone at the bottom of the altar, so that the divine grace of the sacrifice would fall under his name.

"Eighth-Order Alien Demon..."Nie Licheng exclaimed in his heart, looking at the divine grace certificate on the fifth- to ninth-order alien demons on his back full of backpacks, his heart was full of doubts, and he couldn't wait to snatch them all.

"Kind, humble, and almighty Radiant Lord..."After reciting a short sacrificial prayer, Nie Licheng began to put the divine grace certificates in the basket into the altar one by one.

As the first divine grace certificate was put into the altar, a light curtain rose from the stone wall of the altar next to Fang Cheng, and the purple words on it kept changing, showing how much divine grace Fang Cheng had obtained by sacrificing such and such a sacrifice on a certain day in a certain year.

"Hey, this corpse demon's tail vertebrae have rotted and can't be exchanged!" Nie Licheng threw a tail vertebrae at Fang Cheng, who was kneeling down, with a serious face.

Fang Cheng picked it up with one hand and looked at it, a sneer appeared on his face, did he start to find fault? He knew that as long as the divine grace certificate was ninety percent complete, he could offer sacrifices, but the divine grace obtained from the sacrifice would be reduced accordingly.

Obviously, Nie Donghu is a personal vendetta in the communiqué, bullying Fang Cheng is a newcomer who sacrifices for the first time.

Yes, Fang Cheng was sacrificing for the first time, but he had read all the books in the old man's house over the years, and besides, dealing with demon hunters all day long, how could he not know this.

Under the divine power of the Origin God Haotian, you dare to yin me? Thinking like this, Fang Cheng suddenly let go of his hand and stood up...

"Presumptuous, what are you doing?"

In Nie Donghu's loud scolding, Fang Cheng directly threw the tail vertebrae in his hand into the altar. Sacrifice is not only for priests, as long as there is an altar of the god of the temple and the divine power of the first god Haotian, he can also sacrifice himself.

In the next moment, Nie Donghu only felt that his heart was twisted, and the whole person seemed to have convulsions, and he fell to the ground with a scream of "ah", spitting out a mouthful of blood...

The first god Haotian has always been a merciful and generous god, even if you don't obey the etiquette and make a loud noise in the temple, you will not be punished, but he is also harsh and harsh, if someone deceives him when he sacrifices, then... Nie Licheng's is the lightest punishment.

Of course, if Nie Licheng said no, Fang Cheng didn't let it in, he wouldn't have been punished by God.

In front of the guards in the hall, there was such a big ugliness, and Nie Licheng hated it in his heart... This is not the most important thing, in addition to the body being punished by Haotian's will, Nie Licheng will be punished with ten times the divine grace of the sacrificial item.

For example, Fang Cheng was sacrificing the tail vertebrae of the seventh-order corpse demon at the moment, which could have been exchanged for two hundred and ten points of divine grace, but because the decay only got two hundred points of divine grace, then, according to the rules, Nie Licheng would be deducted two thousand points of divine grace.

What made Nie Licheng most sad was that in the next three months, he would preside over the sacrifice and would not get any rake.

The priest who presides over the sacrifice will take 1% of the total amount of each sacrifice of the cultivator as the cost of the temple. This kind of extraction is not to leave a certificate of divine grace in advance, but to return it directly to the name of the priest who presided over the sacrifice by the first god Haotian.

Don't look at this one percent, if a cultivator wants to improve his strength, he must make sacrifices, and over the years, it is a huge fortune, but it is this one percent, the priest who presides over the sacrifice will only get two percent of it, and the remaining eighty percent must be handed over to the main temple of the divine capital.

Divine grace cannot be traded, so the priest who presides over the sacrifice must exchange the divine grace in his name into physical goods, pills, armor skills, runes, etc., and hand them over to the main shrine of the divine capital, and the main shrine will distribute them to the cultivators as benefits or rewards.

Each priest who presided over the sacrifice, how much divine grace could be drawn every day, was transparent and open within the Haotian Temple, if there was no increase in three months, then there could only be two situations, either no one sacrificed, or the desecration of the first god Haotian was punished.

Nie Licheng made such a small "mistake", the upper echelons of the temple can be held accountable, but presiding over the sacrifice is the fattest position among all the priesthoods, I don't know how many people are waiting for you to make a mistake and oust you from power, and in order to calm the anger above and not be attacked by other colleagues, in the next three months, Nie Licheng will at least take out at least double the items to supply to the main temple.

Nie Li planned to take advantage of Fang Cheng's first sacrifice and didn't understand the rules, and more or less yin him, but he didn't expect Fang Cheng to have such a big courage, under the majesty of the first god Haotian, he stood up and threw the divine grace certificate into the altar, and said that he had no place to say that he was suffering.

Nie Licheng, who stole the chicken and didn't lose the rice, stood up tremblingly, and didn't dare to finish Fang Cheng's sacrifice half-heartedly.

After the sacrifice was finished, Fang Cheng pressed his hand to the exchanged divine stone again, in fact, he didn't want to exchange anything, his current strength, except for the Ning Armor Pill, he couldn't use anything to exchange, he was just curious, and wanted to see what it was.

The cyan curtain of light shifted, and two options appeared on it, Divine Grace and Salvation. In the lower left corner of the light curtain, the total number of Fang Cheng's divine graces was displayed, six thousand five hundred and thirty points, because many divine graces had decayed, and more than a hundred divine graces had been deducted.

Just as Fang Cheng was about to point out to the divine grace, Nie Licheng spoke again: "Before exchanging items, you must first redeem yourself to show your respect for the Origin God Haotian." ”

This sentence is a complete procedural word, before each cultivator exchanges items for the first time, under the prompting of the divine officer, he will sacrifice a few points to a hundred points of divine grace to redeem himself, in order to redeem his youth and ignorance, and inadvertently offend the first god Haotian.

Fang Cheng had scolded the Origin God Haotian, so he didn't even think about it, and directly clicked on the redemption option...

The light curtain flashed

And then...

The number of Divine Grace in the lower left corner of the light curtain became zero, and then there was an additional redemption point in the lower right corner of 6,530 points.

"You have gained 6,530 points of redemption power, because you have chosen the power of salvation, you will pay double the divine grace for any item!" This is the most important line of blood-red words in the light curtain, like a knife, stabbing at Fang Cheng's body.

"How can this be? What the hell are you doing?" Fang Cheng stood up angrily and asked sharply, "What is this power of redemption, and why has my divine grace become a point of redemption?"

Although Fang Cheng had heard and seen the sacrificial records, after all, he had not personally experienced the sacrifice, and how to sacrifice for the first time was completely guided by the priest.

"Child, you're so anxious, I didn't even have time to stop you!" Seeing that Fang Cheng was stupid and turned the Divine Grace points into a force of redemption, Nie Licheng's mood also improved, in fact, when he saw Fang Cheng point to salvation, he could stop it, the question is, he was just so hurt by Fang Cheng that he vomited blood, will he stop it?

Since the redemption is displayed on it, it naturally has the intention of the Origin God Haotian, and if he does not stop it, he will not attract the punishment of the Origin God Haotian.

"Look..."Nie Licheng said and walked up to Fang Cheng, pressed on the divine stone that was redeemed on behalf of the exchange, and two new options of divine grace and salvation appeared on the light curtain, he clicked on the divine grace, and ten options immediately appeared, pointing to the bottom row of subtitles and saying: "Look, here, redeem yourself!"

Fang Cheng closed his eyes depressedly, he knew that Nie Licheng must have deliberately not reminded him, but what could he say?

What is the use of this power of salvation, whether it is in the book or in the mouth of the demon hunter, Fang Cheng has never seen or heard it. In fact, this redemption option seemed to have been forgotten, Fang Cheng had never heard anyone mention it, and he never thought that the self-salvation that every cultivator had to experience would be hidden in the Divine Grace option.

If you choose salvation, you have to pay double the divine grace in exchange for items, this kind of stupid thing, Fang Cheng will not continue to do it.

Fang Cheng took one last look at Nie Licheng, walked out of the temple with the empty basket on his back.
