Speaking of which, ever since Lu Chen had awoken the Eye of Merit, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation where the power of Merit was insufficient.
In addition, they could only rely on the effects of the meritorious services they had previously acc.u.mulated to slowly gather together.
The key point was that this speed was not enough to support his next needs.After all, Duanmu Pengcheng"s damp energy had already completely fused with his true energy, forming a completely new pattern of power.
The key point was that this power had been growing for a long time and had already taken on a very dangerous side.And he had gradually gained his own intelligence, which was the most difficult thing to deal with.
At this time, Lu Chen couldn"t help but be a little worried.
Even the little fox couldn"t guarantee that he would be able to obtain the power of merit just by donating money.In the beginning, Lu Chen had thought of this possibility.
However, since he had already promised Duanmu Huanghun, he rushed over after making some preparations.
Without sufficient merit power in his hands, Lu Chen could not help but feel powerless in the face of such a th.o.r.n.y problem like Duanmu Pengcheng"s.The more time pa.s.sed, the more subtle Lu Chen"s control of the Power of Merit became, in order to minimize his energy consumption.
The corpse qi in Duanmu Pengcheng"s dantian could be considered as having been greatly controlled.
Naturally, it was much easier to deal with the corpse Qi that was floating in his body.After dealing with the corpse qi in Duanmu Pengcheng"s Dantian, Lu Chen finally let out a sigh of relief.
Subsequently, he once again circulated the power of karmic virtue throughout Duanmu Pengcheng"s body.
This step was naturally very important for him to completely stabilize the corpse aura inside the furnace.
If he was affected by the corpse qi"s restlessness, he would be like a fuse that had yet to be ignited.
On the other hand, Duanmu Pengcheng"s dantian was like a bomb.
Once this bomb was detonated, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The more things got to this point, the calmer Lu Chen"s heart became.
Similarly, the entire room was abnormally quiet.
Everyone held their breath, even their heartbeats were suppressed.For a moment, it was so quiet that it was as if a needle falling onto the ground could be heard clearly.
As the power of karmic virtue permeated Duanmu Pengcheng"s meridians, the corpse aura that floated within was like a roaming army commander that had no ability to resist; it was defeated in a single battle.In the end, this corpse qi was completely surrounded and directly surrendered in front of the power of karmic virtue.
Unknowingly, an hour had already pa.s.sed while Lu Chen was dealing with the corpse qi.
Lu Chen"s complexion became paler and paler, and he looked bloodless. His forehead was also covered with dense beads of sweat, and even his breathing became rapid.
It was not because Lu Chen had expended a lot of karmic virtue, but because he was concentrating so hard, the consumption of his mental energy was enormous. Even Lu Chen found it hard to endure.In reality, if not for Lu Chen"s spiritual force being nurtured by the Power of Merit, it would have been impossible for others to persist until now.
After completing the final task, Lu Chen let out a heavy sigh of relief, as if he had not slept for three days and three nights.
The exhaustion of this kind of Mental Energy was even more intense than the consumption of true energy.Following which, Lu Chen retracted his hand and the three silver needles continued to stay in Duanmu Pengcheng"s mingmen.
At the same time, these three silver needles stabilized Duanmu Pengcheng"s mingmen, which was equivalent to real-time monitoring of his situation.
If anything happened, Lu Chen would be able to detect it immediately.
"Brother Lu... Are you all right? Why are you so stupid, why are you working so hard! You even lost your life, didn"t you? "
Seeing that Lu Chen had finished taking care of everything, Murong Xin"er couldn"t hold herself back anymore. She immediately went over and grabbed his arm, saying with a pained expression.
She did not intentionally lower her voice, so what she said just now was naturally heard by everyone.
Lu Chen could only smile bitterly.
Of course, he knew that the reason why Murong Xin"er said those words was because she cared for him.
On the other hand, the most important aspect was that she wanted to use this opportunity to tell the Duanmu Family what kind of effort she had put in.However, what Murong Xin"er said just now was not wrong.
At this moment, Lu Chen"s face was pale, and his entire aura had become dispirited.This was the embodiment of exhaustion.
Of course, Murong Xin`er"s initial worry disappeared the moment it touched Lu Chen"s body.
She could clearly feel that the true qi within his dantian was abnormally abundant and had not been consumed at all.
This made Murong Xin`er both surprised and happy. At the same time, she also became more and more certain that there was some sort of special power hidden within Lu Chen"s body.It was the existence of this power that allowed him to possess abilities that were difficult for ordinary people to attain.
Murong Xin"er came along with Lu Chen.As an interested person, she was naturally very clear about the true qi in his dantian.
But a cultivator who didn"t use true qi?
Then what kind of power did Lu Chen grasp?The more Murong Xin"er thought about it, the more confused she became.
She wanted to push the thoughts in her head away, but the more she did so, the more puzzled she became.With Murong Xin"er"s character, how could she calm down under this kind of situation?
In fact, not to mention Murong Xin`er, even Zhang Junwei who was beside them started to worry when he saw Lu Chen"s current situation.
In his memory, he had never seen his master appear so weak.
In Zhang Junwei"s eyes, Lu Chen had always been a G.o.d-like existence, almost omnipotent.Moreover, this time, he clearly felt that it was Lu Chen who had taken the initiative to help. Yet, it was so difficult and he even seemed to have paid a huge price. He felt even more incredulous.
Lu Chen took a deep breath, slightly calming himself down, then gently shook his head at Murong Xin"er, giving her a comforting look.Murong Xin"er tacitly blinked her eyes. Only then did Lu Chen raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, cupped his fist, and said to Duanmu Fu.
"Elder w.a.n.g Di, this junior"s mental energy consumption is too great, so I can only stop for now." Fortunately, the Duanmu family"s clan head was barely able to stabilize his condition. For now, there is no more danger. ""If nothing unexpected happens, this junior can ensure that the corpse aura inside Patriarch Duanmu"s body does not change within three days!"
Although Lu Chen"s aura looked extremely weak, he still managed to muster some energy when he said those words.Hearing Lu Chen"s words, everyone present secretly nodded their heads.
Actually, there was no need for Lu Chen to explain. They could sense that the aura on Duanmu Pengcheng right now was much more stable than before.Of course, although the effects were immediate, seeing Lu Chen"s current state, they found it extremely taxing. Thus, everyone subconsciously thought that it might only be temporary control, and that it could explode at any time.
