The Quest for Immortality

Chapter 824: Chapter 598 Merit Points _4 Chapter 824 -598 Merit Points _4 “Of course, such things are too bloody and dangerous, you can’t do them now

…

Elder Master Xun said a lot.

Mo Hua silently took note of it all and then asked with confusion, “Elder Master, what you’ve mentioned, how come I didn’t know any of it before

Elder Master Xun raised an eyebrow and replied, “That’s because you didn’t have the authority to know.”

”Authority?”

Elder Master Xun pointed at Mo Hua’s waist.

Mo Hua suddenly understood, “The Taixu Token?”

”Correct,” said Elder Master Xun.

”When you first joined, someone must have told you that the Taixu Token is extremely important and that you should not lose it

”Not only do you need to use the Taixu Token for cultivation lessons and entering or exiting the Sect, but more importantly

”The Taixu Token determines your authority within the Sect!”

”When you first joined, this Taixu Token was just the initial one.

Aside from attending cultivation lessons and entering or exiting the Disciple’s Residence, it basically has no authority whatsoever.”

”Once you have been cultivating within the Sect for a full year, when the Sect has fully ‘sounded out your depth,’ only then will they unlock the real Taixu authorities for you

”This is also known as ‘Merit Points’ authority.”

”With authority, you will be able to undertake tasks on behalf of the Sect, as stipulated by the Taixu Token, earn Merit Points, and exchange them for a series of treasures held by the Taixu Gate, including Cultivation Techniques, Taoist Skills, Formation inheritances, as well as Spirit Stones, Pills, Spiritual Objects, and other cultivation resources

Mo Hua was somewhat shocked and then said with difficulty,

”But I’ve only been a part of the Sect for four or five months, I can’t unlock the authority of the Taixu Token

”No matter,” Elder Master Xun said, “I’ll unlock it for you in advance.”

”Ah?” Mo Hua was stunned.

”Can you unlock it in advance?”

Elder Master Xun nodded and replied, “You’ve been learning Formation with me for so long, that naturally counts as ‘sounding out your depth.’ Unlocking an authority in advance isn’t a big deal.”

”Hand me your Taixu Token,” ordered Elder Master Xun.

...

Mo Hua respectfully passed his initial, somewhat simple Taixu Token, engraved only with a Sword Pattern, to Elder Master Xun.

Elder Master Xun accepted it, his Divine Sense moved slightly, and a faint light flashed on the Taixu Token.

Afterward, Elder Master Xun handed the Taixu Token back to Mo Hua, “There, it’s done.”

Mo Hua was a bit surprised, “That’s it?”

Unlocking authority is that easy…

He speculated in his heart, faintly guessing that Elder Master Xun must have used his Divine Sense to activate the Formation within the Taixu Token, altering its authority…

But as for the specifics, Mo Hua, who was only at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, still couldn’t understand.

Mo Hua took the Taixu Token and swept it with his Divine Sense.

Indeed, he felt that his Taixu Token was different from before; it seemed to have acquired some new content.

Mo Hua hadn’t examined it in detail when another question came to mind.

”Elder Master, you said the rules of the Sect cannot be changed

Mo Hua looked at Elder Master Xun with doubtful eyes.

”But what you’re doing, isn’t that also changing the rules?”

Elder Master Xun hesitated.

This kid, this little brain of his, how quickly it turns…

Elder Master Xun’s expression became serious.

”No, it does not count!”

”Really doesn’t count?”

Elder Master Xun nodded.

”If I say it doesn’t count, then it doesn’t count!”

…

Mo Hua didn’t know what to say.

But Elder Master Xun unlocking the authority of the Taixu Token for him was a good thing, so he didn’t dwell on it any further…

Whether it was against the rules or not, what would he, a disciple who had just joined, know?

Holding the Taixu Token, Mo Hua looked forward with anticipation, thinking about scrutinizing it later to see what tasks were available and what good things he could exchange for…

Elder Master Xun watched Mo Hua and gave one last piece of advice:

”Cultivators should prioritize stability in their practice, and not aim too high or far

”Though I’ve unlocked the authority for you, you’ve only just joined, and your cultivation is still weak, with little experience

”To begin with, take on some low-level, beginner tasks, like Drawing Formations, sweeping the Taoist Field, guarding the gate, and the like

”Those tasks like pursuing Sin Cultivators, killing Evil Cultivators, subduing major and minor Demon Sects

”You absolutely shouldn’t take on such dangerous missions

”Understood!”

Mo Hua nodded obediently.
