Chapter 566: Chapter 362: The Merit Clothing, Taking the Initiative to Attack

“I hadn’t expected the techniques to be of such nature,” Lu Qing mused after he had comprehended the two techniques passed down by the Demon Cultivator, his eyes gleaming with surprise and delight.

The two techniques were both related to the use of Merit Light.

One was called “Merit Clothing,” a unique cultivation technique.

The other was a technique on how to condense treasures of merit.

Both techniques emphasized the use of Merit Light, and knowledge of Buddhist Taoist Techniques was not necessary for their cultivation.

Thus, even Lu Qing could cultivate them.

However, when it came to making a choice, Lu Qing found himself in a dilemma.

He had resolved the catastrophe that befell the State Mansion City and, touched by heaven and earth, was granted merit.

Although he had acquired a considerable amount of Merit Light, it wasn’t enough to allow him to cultivate both techniques.

Therefore, he could only choose one to cultivate.

Lu Qing began to ponder the pros and cons of each technique.

“Merit Clothing” would involve condensing the Merit Light he had acquired into clothing using a specific technique.

Once attained, “Merit Clothing” could attract good fortune, avoid disasters, deter evildoers, and protect the mind and spirit.

It was particularly effective in defending against attacks on the Divine Soul.

It was a cultivation technique that leaned towards defense of the Divine Soul.

Moreover, as the Merit Light increased, “Merit Clothing” could be advanced.

At its highest level, it could transform into “Merit Heavenly Robe,” a powerful force that all evil spirits would shun, causing even Demon Lords and Generals to fear its might.

Of course, to condense the “Merit Heavenly Robe,” one would need an enormous amount of Merit Light.

This was beyond the small amount of Merit Light located in the spiritual aperture between Lu Qing’s eyebrows.

Moreover, the technique passed down by the Demon Cultivator only mentioned “Merit Heavenly Robe” and lacked the specific spells for its condensation.

Regarding the technique for crafting treasures of merit,

to be honest, compared to “Merit Clothing,” it fell short.

It mainly detailed how to infuse Merit Light into magical treasures.

The crafted treasures of merit were effective against Devilish Cultivators, Evil Cultivators, and other evil forces.

However, Lu Qing felt that its crafting method was not as mysterious as that of “Merit Clothing.”

After thinking for a while, Lu Qing ultimately decided to cultivate “Merit Clothing.”

He couldn’t help but aspire to the technique’s higher levels, despite knowing he might have difficulty acquiring more Merit Light in the future. Even beginner-level “Merit Clothing” would provide a defense that made him envious.

Fortunately, he estimated that the Merit Light in the space within his spiritual aperture was just enough to initiate the practice of this technique.

After making his decision, Lu Qing activated his Superpower and began to focus wholeheartedly on comprehending the cultivation technique of “Merit Clothing.”

Not long after, a warm aura emanated from his body.

Half an hour later, a faint golden light emerged from him.

The golden beams intertwined to form a plain-looking Vestment Robe that draped over Lu Qing.

“Is this the ‘Merit Clothing’?” Lu Qing opened his eyes, looking at the robe on him with some astonishment.

The robe appeared light and thin, but he could sense that it was imbued with an incredibly mystical power.

It could protect his Heart and Spirit well, guarding against Evil Spirits’ invasions.

“Young Master, this is…” “Yan” sensed the change in Lu Qing and emerged from the Leaving Fire Tripod as an apparition, gazing in astonishment at the Merit Clothing on Lu Qing.

It could feel that the Vestment Robe was filled with very rich Merit Power.

“I obtained a technique from a Demon Cultivator that uses Merit Light,” Lu Qing explained. “I tried cultivating it just now and, unexpectedly, I succeeded on the first attempt.”

“Yan”: …

Yan was not surprised that Lu Qing had obtained a cultivation technique from the Demon Cultivator, given the Demon Cultivator was spiritually enslaved by Lu Qing and couldn’t go against his will.

What really shocked it was the speed of Lu Qing’s cultivation.

Seeing the aura of the Vestment Robe on Lu Qing, it was evident the technique was highly mystical.

Yet Lu Qing had managed to cultivate it successfully in silence.

Despite having witnessed Lu Qing’s perceptiveness more than once, “Yan” couldn’t help but be astounded once again.

Lu Qing felt the subtlety of the Merit Clothing for a moment and then retracted it into his body.

Once the Merit Clothing was cultivated, it automatically protected its wearer without requiring any further attention from him—a truly profound technique.

“When the Master returns, I can also teach him this technique to see if he can also condense the Merit Clothing.”

After experiencing the subtlety of the Merit Clothing, Lu Qing was confident.

His Master had always shown medical benevolence and had accumulated substantial Merit Light over his decades of practice.

If he could condense Merit Clothing, it would bring him great benefits.

However, the Master had already gone to the mountains to gather herbs a few days ago, and Lu Qing had no idea when he would return.

He would have to wait for his return before he could pass on the technique.

Just as Lu Qing was contemplating this, suddenly, he was struck by a thought.

Shortly after, a voice came from outside the courtyard.

“Young Master Lu, are you there?”

“Family Master Wei, please come in.”

Soon, Wei Xinghe’s figure appeared in the courtyard.

“Family Master Wei, has something happened?”

Lu Qing asked, noticing a certain seriousness on Wei Xinghe’s face.

“It’s like this, Young Master Lu. I’ve just received a message from a spy in the Prefecture.

It said that from the West State, a powerful group of monks has appeared and, in a very short time, subdued many Sects and united the West State.”
