Chapter 458: Local Tyrant Li Yanchu! Four Artifacts Worth a Hundred Thousand Merit Points Each! sentience! A Surveillance Artifact!?
The fat monk swallowed hard, ignoring the inn’s shopboy, and fixed his gaze on Qingyun Temple across the street.
“Did I... hallucinate just now? I could’ve sworn a beam of divine light fell into that temple...!” He gulped again.
Inside the temple, Li Yanchu glanced at the Jiaoslayer in his hand. Its shape was still similar to a Tang Saber, without much outward change. Water-like patterns rippled along the blade, its color dim and ancient.
But the aura of sharpness it radiated was overwhelming; it looked like a heavy sword without an edge that could be wielded well effortlessly.
The more he looked, the more he liked it. This blade had followed him for a long time, chopping ghosts and demons as effortlessly as slicing vegetables. Plus, it fit his hand perfectly.
After this enhancement, he could clearly sense that the saber now possessed its own awareness. Even without his command, it could float beside him on its own, and it behaved with a kind of affectionate closeness toward him.
This was the second treasure he owned with sentience, after the ancient alchemy furnace.
Li Yanchu checked his merit points and instantly froze. He now had 935,600 points!
“Enhancing it once costs one hundred thousand merit points!?” He was stunned.
A thoughtful expression flashed across his eyes.
“Nine is the maximum value... so once the maximum is reached, the cost jumps to a hundred thousand merit points? Does that mean the next enhancement will cost two hundred thousand!?” He was dazed.
So this really was something only the rich could afford. Still, the consumption of a hundred thousand merit points didn’t scare him off.
