Chapter 869: Chapter 868: Dew of Merit

After Yusuf Zuck understood everything, he quieted down and began to read.

"Beauty lies within books, as does a Golden House; a book is a gateway to wisdom and a cure for loneliness."

Fortunately, there was nothing else to do, and he truly had nothing else to do, so he started reading about the various planes of existence, gaining insights into broad discussions, exploring records of rare and unique treasures, examining rankings of military artefacts, and even looking at illustrations of Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation.

All this time, he had no teacher and was always a half-baked cultivator; encountering rare treasures without recognizing them, not understanding how Magic Artifacts and Immortal Artifacts were formed, and not comprehending the celestial yin and yang or the application of the Five Elements.

In the library collected by these seven individuals, everything was included, so Yusuf Zuck planned to understand the heavens and everything else through these books.

Time passed quickly, and the pile of books in front of him kept growing. After many years, all the books from the seven rings had accumulated in front of him, and having read through them, his mind was crammed with all sorts of unheard-of knowledge and bizarre tales.

He closed his eyes to reflect and suddenly realized that he had gained an immense understanding of the universe, the fundamental truths of yin and yang, the application of the Five Elements, Magic Treasures, Elixirs, rare treasures, cultivation insights, and so forth; he had acquired an entirely new perception.

Yusuf Zuck only felt that his horizons had broadened, no longer the ignorant fool he once was.

"Hmm, are those few odd stones also rare treasures?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly used telekinesis to probe inside one of the rings since it contained a few irregularly shaped stones, one of which was red and two of which were black.

After reading all the books, he immediately recognized these three stones; the red one was called ’Vitality Stone,’ a high-grade item for nourishing vitality. Holding it could instantly restore depleted vitality.

Back in their day, these seven individuals must have had many of these Vitality Stones, but unfortunately, they had used them all except for this one remaining piece.

The other two black stones were called ’Black Star Meteor,’ a type of meteorite from the cosmos, which served two purposes: one was to create Immortal Family Magic Treasures, and the other was to stabilize the inner demons. Wearing them prevented demonic invasions!

"Come out." Yusuf Zuck thought for a moment and then suddenly took out a Black Star Meteor!

However, the moment he touched the Black Star Meteor, Yusuf Zuck shuddered, and the soul bead in his mind along with all the Purple Blood Beads surged with an intense purple glow, pulsating nonstop.

With a "buzz," he had not yet reacted when the Black Star Meteor instantly turned into powder, and a surge of energy rushed directly into his mind.

"Crack, crack—" From the soul bead, the Purple Blood Beads emitted two crisp sounds, and Yusuf Zuck incredulously saw that two Blood Beads had unlocked, which then merged into the soul bead.

Thus, he had unlocked up to the nineteenth Blood Bead.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—" Information emanated from the soul bead. It was feedback from a new superpower; however, only one new superpower appeared, not two.

It seemed that the Blood Beads were quite irregular; unlocking them did not necessarily yield new superpowers.

Yusuf Zuck immediately focused his attention to see what the new superpower was.

But... when he saw the new superpower, he could not help but be utterly astounded.

It wasn’t a superpower, but a supportive ability called "Merit Dew!"

The information specified that using its purple divine dew, one could perform righteous deeds, which meant healing and saving people, capable of creating three merits daily.

However, the message also mentioned that besides its previous effects, the Dew of Merit had another function, which was to make dead wood come to life as if in spring, or to transform stones into gold, endowing them with spirit!

"Dead wood comes to life?" After reading this, Yusuf Zuck’s eyelids twitched violently, wondering if it could bring the seven people in front of him back to life.

"Come out." With a movement of his Divine Consciousness, a drop of purple liquid appeared, which was the Dew of Merit. However, this drop was quite different from before; previously, it was just a purple drop, but now, it had a hint of green, creating an intermingled purple and green hue.

"Turned purple and green? Three doses of merit a day? Does that mean the purple drop is now only three drops a day?" After taking a deep breath, Yusuf Zuck suddenly flicked the purple drop into the mouth of one of the dead bodies.

"Huh~" Just as the purple drop entered the dead body’s mouth, Yusuf Zuck suddenly noticed that the person’s body began to flash with purple and green light, and then vitality rapidly spread throughout the body.

The change was extremely fast, and in just two or three breaths, the dead body not only had blood but its skin had also regained elasticity, indistinguishable from a living person.

But... he was not breathing and had no heartbeat; he had not come back to life!

Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath, realizing that the Dew of Merit couldn’t resurrect the dead or give souls to the deceased, as this person’s soul was dead, so only their body could enjoy a semblance of spring.

"Still can’t resurrect the dead!" Yusuf Zuck gave a wry smile and shook his head, thinking that to revive a dead person, one must first have a soul, so merely restoring vitality to the body was of no use.

"Forget it, let me try something else." Yusuf Zuck gave up on trying with other bodies and started rummaging through other rings.

After a moment, he held a seed in his hand, a leftover from some fruit, and then he placed the seed on the ground and dripped the Dew of Merit on it!

With a "pop," a miracle occurred. Before Yusuf Zuck’s eyes, an astonishing scene unfolded.

As the Dew of Merit touched the seed, it immediately sprang to life. Amidst the interplay of purple and green light, the seed burst open, and a shoot of emerald green sprouted, growing rapidly.

In just a short while, Yusuf Zuck saw the seed grow into a small tree lush with leaves, and it did not stop there but continued to grow.

"Pop, pop, pop~" Just like fast-forwarding a movie, before Yusuf Zuck’s astounded gaze, the little tree grew to be ten feet tall, then flowered and bore fruit, eventually producing nine fist-sized green fruits on the entire tree.

"Is this... this... Green Spirit Fruit?" Yusuf Zuck was greatly surprised; having read many books over the years, including some that contained records and even illustrations of rare treasures, he immediately recognized the fruit as the Green Spirit Fruit documented in those rarities.

The Green Spirit Fruit, of which only one tree exists in the world, grows within a Sect called the ’Green Spirit Sect’ in a higher plane and blossoms once every three hundred years. After bearing fruit, it takes six hundred years to mature, hence the fruit is also known as the Millennium Fruit.

This fruit has three effects: one is to detoxify, as any toxin within the body is driven out immediately upon consuming the fruit, which also purifies impurities within the body.

The second is life-extension; monks also have a lifespan and cannot live forever. One of the effects of this fruit is that, when one’s lifespan is nearly depleted, consuming this fruit can add a thousand more years.

The third is aiding cultivation; consuming this fruit equates to a thousand years of hard cultivation. For instance, if you are stuck at a certain stage unable to break through, or it would take a thousand years of insight to do so, consuming this fruit would lead to an immediate breakthrough!

This fruit is exceedingly rare, producing only nine pieces every thousand years and except for the Green Spirit Sect, this tree cannot be planted elsewhere. Thus, the Green Spirit Sect also ranks amongst the top in that higher plane.

"Ha, haha, the Dew of Merit is so awesome?" Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily, originally thinking the Dew of Merit was just a trifle, as it didn’t enhance any combat ability, but now it seemed its uses were boundless!
