Chapter 5 – Borrowing Your Sword

PrevPREVIOUS

With three successive reminders from the system, Luo Feng finally came to his senses. He found Yang Jian looking at him with a puzzled face. Luo Feng asked with some embarrassment, “Yang Jian, did merit in the Ancient Land get devalued?”

“Devalued?” A big question mark appeared on Yang Jian’s head. He didn’t know the meaning of devaluation at all.

Luo Feng patted his own head and asked in a different way, “What I meant to ask is whether it’s easy to obtain merit.”

Luo Feng was thinking that if he could help a grandma cross the street and still earn merit, then why even open a convenience store? He could just wait somewhere dangerous and help grandmas cross it every chance he got. Merit would come rolling in.

However, Yang Jian’s next answer brought his thoughts back to earth. Yang Jian told him that the concept of getting merit is simple, but actually getting it is difficult.

The acts by which people get merit differed from person to person. For example, some people could get merit as long as they casually did something recognized by the will of the world. But for ordinary immortals, getting merit was even more difficult than ascending to heaven.

Hearing this, Luo Feng completely threw away the idea of helping grandmas cross the road in exchange for merit. He understood the meaning of Yang Jian’s words. As long as he did something recognized by the will of the world, he could get merit. But, could helping a grandma cross the road be recognized by the world? The answer was obvious.

Suddenly, Luo Feng recognized that it was unusual for Yang Jian to have merit. He looked over with a strange face and asked, “Since you said that you can only own merit by getting recognized by the will of the world, does that mean you have some achievements?”

Yang Jian scratched his head and replied with some embarrassment, “I’m ashamed to say that my merit was obtained by helping my master, Immortal Yuding, who did something recognized by the heavens.”

Yes!

So it was about networking!

Luo Feng finally understood why creatures in the Ancient Lands wanted to study under saints. So the root of it was this.

It’s like contracting a project. Of course, it’s impossible to outbid other companies by yourself.

Yang Jian wondered why Luo Feng was asking such strange questions. “Even a three-year-old child knows about merit. Why are you…”

Oh no! Exposed!

Luo Feng has been pretending to be an expert in front of Yang Jian, but asking such an idiotic question will naturally lead to suspicion. However, Luo Feng was quick-witted and calmed down in an instant. “Yang Jian, I have just come out of my hermitage. The world has changed since the great war between the shamans and demons. Naturally, I don’t know much about the new world.”

In an instant, the doubts in Yang Jian’s heart dissipated. He became more convinced that Luo Feng was an expert. The reason he opened a convenience store on Ziwei mountain must have something to do with his plans.

Just as Yang Jian was about to leave, Luo Feng stopped him. Facing Yang Jian’s confused face, Luo Feng said solemnly, “Yang Jian, can I borrow the Ziwei sword?”

The Ziwei Sword was reborn from Luo Feng, and Yang Jian had long believed that he was an “expert”. Naturally, he knew that Luo Feng wouldn’t covet the sword. Thus, he respectfully handed it to Luo Feng.

Although the Ziwei Sword had become Yang Jian’s treasure, it still recognized Luo Feng more so than Yang Jian. Therefore, when the Ziwei Sword fell into Luo Feng’s hand, it emitted a clear sound. In response to the clear sound of the Ziwei Sword, thousands of purple clouds bloomed on Ziwei Mountain and dyed the sky purple.

Yang Jian sighed at this sight. How can there be such a big gap between people? When he  used the Ziwei Sword, only a few rays of purple light appeared. But when Luo Feng handled it, the sword flared in purple.

Luo Feng walked toward those watching afar from the shadows. Their hearts tightened. Could it be that they had somehow angered this Elder and were about to be killed?

With an uneasy mood, they slowly backed away and made up their mind that they would never disturb the Elder on Ziwei mountain in the future.

Just then, Luo Feng held up the Ziwei Sword and shouted, “Come and see, the Ziwei Sword was just repaired.”

“Any friend whose magic treasure is contaminated with the karmic fire can come to the Ancient Land Convenience Store.. We will do our best to remove it!

Yang Jian: “…..”

Everyone else: “…..”

No one expected that Luo Feng would advertise his convenience store at this time.

Ancient Land Convenience Store!

Yang Jian looked at the Ancient Land Convenience Store’s sign and sighed to himself. Such a store was definitely worthy of the Elder. He didn’t care about the appearance at all. Even the store sign was about to fall off yet he didn’t bother to repair it. He had already reached the realm of treating everything as one with the world.

At the same time, Yang Jian also memorized the name of the store. He will go back and recommend it to his fellow disciples. It will be a good chance to establish a positive relationship with the Elder!

Luo Feng didn’t know that his every move had deep meaning in Yang Jian’s eyes. All he could think of at the moment was how he could take advantage of this opportunity to attract some customers.

As long as he had enough customers, he would have a steady stream of merit. With more merit, he can grow the Ancient Land Convenience Store and give himself the capital to survive in this harsh world.

Following Luo Feng’s advertisement, someone was tempted by the offer and shouted back. “Well… Elder, can you really remove karmic from our treasures?”

Fights happened everyday in the Ancient Land, resulting in countless people killed. Those who survived would accumulate karmic fire on their weapons each time. But since their lives were linked to their magic treasures, they couldn’t simply discard it. How could their hearts not be moved by an offer to remove karmic fire from their treasures?

Luo Feng saw that the advertisement worked and smiled like a flower. “Don’t worry. As long as it’s a problem of karmic fire, I can solve it. However, I must make it clear that this is not charity work. You must pay using merit.”

“No problem, but I won’t dare to approach until Yang Jian leaves.”

After receiving such a response, Luo Feng looked back at Yang Jian and told him with a faint smile that he should go.

Yang Jian had originally wanted to eliminate these petty fools for Luo Feng, but when he considered Luo Feng’s abilities, he naturally didn’t worry about it any more. He nodded in response and flew toward Kunlun Mountain on a cloud.

He must hurry back to inform his sect of these new developments. It would be a pity if the Elder exhausted his energy on those fools and could no longer help his fellow disciples clear their karmic fires.

In Yang Jian’s opinion, Luo Feng must be using his life force to remove karmic fire. An Elder like this would never be found again in these Ancient Lands. How can merit compare to his kindness?
