Chapter 296 Weirdness and Essence

Yan Xu now has a total of four systems, two of which have been integrated, which are very suitable for large-scale farming competitions, but the most powerful and special one has to be the incense and Shinto system, because it is upgraded with merit.

Anyone who has read fantasy novels knows how important merit is, and how rare it is. Currently, the only place where Yan Xu can stably obtain merit is in the late Qing Dynasty, and he has spent a lot of time and energy on this.

It is so difficult mainly because gaining merit cannot be faked. It cannot be obtained by doing one or two good deeds. Merit is not that cheap. Apart from killing evil cultivators and zombies which are intolerable to heaven and earth, one must permanently change the tragic fate and make everything develop in a good direction in order to gain merit.

For example, Yan Xu made the practice of cutting and mutilating people disappear in the Magic City, making human trafficking a high-risk profession, and everything was moving in a good direction under his governance. Only then did he gain a large amount of merit, otherwise he could only gain good deeds.

Good deeds can only be regarded as hard work, while merits are indelible achievements, so Yan Xu never dared to use them indiscriminately. Even though he could have upgraded long ago, he still endured it and did not do it.

Luck will only make his things go smoothly, while merit is a talisman, especially in a world with a mythological background. Strong strength and a set of magic weapons are far less useful than merit.

However, Yan Xu had to admit that the Incense Shinto system was really useful. Even though he hadn't yet entered the realm of cultivation, he could use all kinds of powerful incense magic tools. It was his biggest trump card now.

A new world is about to open up, and the fastest way to increase your strength is to upgrade the incense and Shinto system.

Seeing that he had accumulated a lot of merit, Yan Xu simply upgraded to the next level, unlocking new functions so that he could have more confidence in traveling to the new world.

Because Yan Xu benefited greatly from the first function, the incense and ritual implements, he had high expectations for the second function, and the new function did not disappoint him.

The incense and Dharma body can be regarded as a simplified version of the art of creating gods, and it is also what immortals such as Azhenpo dream of.

The functions are powerful indeed, but after studying it, Yan Xu couldn't help but sigh.

It is difficult to upgrade the system, and even more difficult to maximize its effectiveness.

For example, he has acquired the function of incense and magic tools for quite some time, but he has not yet brought it to its limit because there are too many restrictions.

First of all, the stronger the magic weapon, the higher the quality and quantity of the incense required. Secondly, most powerful magic weapons are in the hands of immortals and Buddhas. If you want to use them, you need to get approval and pay copyright fees. It's not like you can just use it if you like it. If you do so, if you encounter the original owner, you won't be able to just pay money to get away with it. Therefore, the incense and magic weapons that Yan Xu is imitating now are all derived from the novel "Swordsman of Shu Mountain".

The incense body is similar. It is definitely strong and can condense a substitute-like existence through incense. The higher the quality of the incense used and the greater the quantity, the stronger the ability.

Going one step further is the incense and fire god, which is a special incense and fire Dharma body that has obtained a little bit of the true meaning of the immortals and Buddhas and condensed the image of the immortals and Buddhas, and possesses a trace of the power of the original body.

If you are willing to add merit to it, you can get a limited edition golden statue of incense.

As long as you invest enough, you can even have some of the power of immortals and Buddhas. At that time, you can walk sideways in the world, and even have a place in heaven and earth.

But it is not that easy. It is easy to build a pigpen with stones, but it is another matter to build a pyramid with stones. The investment required for the two is completely different. Not to mention that you are using the image of a big boss. Has the big boss agreed?

If Yan Xu did not have stable territory and population in both the Japanese world and the late Qing world, the issue of incense alone would have been enough to worry him to death.

Even so, Yan Xu still has to be thrifty, just like earning a lot does not mean that you don't need to save money. If you encounter an emergency, savings can save lives.

In the busyness, the new world and the new system soon appeared in front of Yan Xu, which made him stunned. "Weird world?!" Yan Xu said the name of the new world with a toothache.

The strange world did not mention what era it was in, nor did it mention which country it was in. Just the word "strange" told us that it was not safe.

"I hope that in the new world there will be no Li Huowang, no knocking ghost, no human head balloon, no foundation, and no Cthulhu." Yan Xu kept muttering or praying.

Even though he is quite powerful now and has some trump cards, he may not be able to survive for a month if he really goes to these worlds.

Originally, Yan Xu wanted to save some money, but now he no longer has this idea.

Unlike other worlds, anything related to the weird is dangerous. The only difference is how dangerous it is. Yan Xu, who is unsure, can only do his best to prepare.

It's just that he can't quite understand the new system.

The systems of each world are targeted, but he could never imagine what role the essence system could play in the weird world. How could he extract the essence from the weird?

Yan Xu shook his head. Unless Sadako, Lady Hachisha and others were considered weird, he would never do this.

Fortunately, the essence system is not only aimed at weirdness. In fact, it is more like a conceptual function that extracts the essence from all things.

Yan Xu tried to use it on a pile of scrap iron, and ended up obtaining a piece of iron essence that was heavier than the same volume of gold.

Then he obtained the essences of grain, water, earth, wood, etc., but he couldn't figure out what these essences were used for.

Whenever he was in doubt, he would ask Uncle Jiu. Yan Xu, who had already regarded the other party as omnipotent, decisively packed up and took him away to the world of the late Qing Dynasty.

"Although I don't know where you got it from, it is indeed a good stuff. Even in Maoshan, there are not many left." Uncle Jiu said to Yan Xu after carefully identifying it.

"What is the use of this thing?" Yan Xu was even more curious about what the essence produced by the Essence System could do.

"That's the problem. Because the things are too good, ordinary people can't use them at all, even me." Although Uncle Jiu is versatile, there is a limit to his talents. He recognizes the things and knows what they are used for, but he doesn't have the ability to actually use them because it is beyond his personal scope.

"For example, these two items are the main materials for refining the Bigu Pill. However, to refine the Bigu Pill, we must use the pill furnace connected to the Maoshan land vein. Not only does it require the cooperation of many people, but it also consumes Maoshan's spiritual energy to refine it." Uncle Jiu pointed to the grain essence and water essence and said.

"Then can we cooperate with Maoshan? I will provide the materials and Maoshan will provide the technology, and we will split the profits 50-50." Yan Xu said this as the situation has matured and he has the capital to discuss cooperation with Maoshan.

"It's not a big problem. These are our foundation, and no one would think it's too much." Uncle Jiu said after careful consideration.

"Then leave it to Uncle Jiu." Yan Xu didn't mention any reward or anything like that. He knew that Uncle Jiu didn't care about that. Uncle Jiu also knew that with Yan Xu's personality, he would not give less.

After handing these matters over to Uncle Jiu, Yan Xu arranged matters in several worlds while making preparations.
