All Heavens: Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts Starting from the Republic of China

Chapter 64 The Order of the Heavens has a new function!

Hewan Village, Huaishu Village, Liugou Village, Baitian Village, and Shiqiao Village—these villages that had been ravaged by the Hedgehog Evil God—all learned of this tremendous good news one after another.

From now on, they will no longer need to sacrifice infants every year, nor will they live in constant fear.

That evening, the villagers gathered in Shuangjing Village for a grand celebration!

Of course, it was, after all, a rural area. To call it a grand celebration was really just a matter of each family bringing out their best grains, chickens, ducks, cured meat, and rice wine.

For these villagers who had just emerged from their fear, this was the most heartfelt gratitude they could express.

Liao Xibai also knew that he couldn't refuse this matter.

At night, torches illuminated the darkness. The small Shuangjing Village, home to people from six villages, was even more lively than during the Spring Festival.

The village elders wept as they thanked Liao Xibai, Fu Ze, and the others.

The young man, holding his wine bowl, repeatedly expressed his gratitude for being saved.

There was also a woman holding a child who wanted to come over, kneel down, and kowtow to them, but Liao Xibai stopped her.

Looking at the babies in their swaddling clothes, Fu Ze suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

If it had been any later, perhaps some of these children would have been sent to the local temple again.

Liao Xibai didn't drink too much alcohol; he simply spoke gently to the villagers, reassuring them to live a good life from now on.

Feng Xuan was surrounded by several old men who asked him what would happen to the temple's offerings now that the local earth god was gone.

Zhao Rui accepted all the drinks offered, his face turning slightly red, but he still stubbornly insisted that he wasn't drunk.

Li Junfeng couldn't drink alcohol, so he could only sit under the eaves, holding a bowl of hot soup, and coldly accept wave after wave of thanks from the villagers.

Fu Ze wanted to laugh.

Then I realized that this scene was actually quite good.

The celebrations continued late into the night, and many villagers were quite drunk before everyone finally went back to their rooms to rest.

Fu Ze returned to the house and closed the door.

He didn't go to sleep immediately.

Although I was physically exhausted, I kept thinking about the gains from the [Order of the Heavens].

He sat down cross-legged and pressed his hand against the ancient jade on his chest.

A thought crossed my mind.

Purple smoke slowly appeared, and the interface of the Heavenly Decree unfolded.

【Name】

Fu Ze.

【identity】

Inspector of the Heavens, wandering cultivator of Maoshan (can be ordained), martial arts practitioner (perfected in internal strength).

【Tiandao Points】

5 points.

[Technique]

1. The fragment of "Shangqing Lingbao Dongshen Zhengfa" is held at a rate of 5%. It can be further supplemented and deduced by consuming Heavenly Dao Points.

2. "The Great Manifestation of Powerful Magic Techniques in the Southern Transmission of Maoshan Dharma Altar", complete version, 100% ownership, can be further developed to a higher level by consuming Heavenly Dao Points.

3. "Open Door Bajiquan", complete version, 100% ownership, can be further developed to a higher level by consuming Heavenly Dao Points.

4. "Li Family Xingyi Quan", complete version, 100% ownership, can be further developed to a higher level by consuming Heavenly Dao Points.

Fu Ze stared at the words "can be granted ordination" for a moment, then exclaimed in delight!

"Can you be ordained?"

This means that my magical skills have indeed reached a certain threshold!

However, in his original world, spiritual energy was depleted. Although the orthodox Taoist sects had a meager inheritance, Fu Ze had never heard of anyone who could truly complete the ordination with magical power and a legal status.

At most, it's just a ritualistic transmission. The true power-containing incantations seem to have been lost?

"In my situation, how should I receive the ordination? Does the ordination have anything to do with the Dharma position, or is it only related to the Dharma rank?"

What about legal professions?

In fact, Fu Ze cared more about his "Dharma Position"—that is, his true cultivation level, magical power, and strength.

As for the "Dharma Rank" and "Dharma Position," they were actually more like a display of status, so he didn't care.

I'm not quite sure whether, in the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), [Dharma Rank] and [Dharma Position] also affect the strength of [Dharma Status]?

"Never mind, let's ask Master Fengxuan about this tomorrow."

Fu Ze didn't think much about it.

His attention quickly fell on the notification he hadn't dealt with earlier.

The purple text reappeared.

[The deity in charge of the incense offerings has been destroyed: a spirit that had been corrupted by extraterrestrial evil.]

[Materials obtained: Fragmented incense offerings, boundless unclean earth and malevolent energy, and the aura of extraterrestrial evil.]

[Decomposition can be converted into Heavenly Dao Points. Shall we decompose now?]

Fu Ze's eyes brightened slightly.

"break down!"

The next moment, the purple smoke surged violently.

[Decomposition complete.]

[Gained 500 Heavenly Dao Points.]

Fu Ze's breath hitched.

"Five hundred points?!"

He almost jumped up.

He had already thought that killing the Yellow Thorn Earth God and getting 100 points was a huge win.

This time it's a whopping 500 points!

But thinking about it carefully, it seems normal.

The Yellow Thorn Earth God is merely one of the avatars corrupted by the filth, while this Hedgehog Evil God is the true source. A hundred years of incense offerings, twenty years of pollution, and it has even devoured the innate energy of so many infants.

In addition, there was the aura of an evil entity from outer space.

Five hundred points, that's reasonable!

The purple smoke continued to billow.

[The holder's Heavenly Dao Points have exceeded 500 for the first time, unlocking a new feature.]

[Weapon crafting.]

[Alchemy.]

Fu Ze's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the two lines of text.

"Weapon forging?"

"Alchemy?"

He looked down at the dark red iron lying quietly beside him.

Then he remembered the talismans, magic daggers, pills, and injuries on his body, as well as the damage to Li Junfeng's foundation caused by the blood-borrowing and life-burning incident.

Fu Ze's heart began to pound.

This time, it seems like it's really about to take off!

Fu Zeqiang suppressed his excitement and continued reading.

Purple smoke billowed, and the descriptions of the two new functions, weapon crafting and pill refining, quickly appeared.

[Alchemy: Unlocked by consuming 100 Heavenly Dao Points. After unlocking, you can use the Heavenly Tokens to refine pills. All pills of the same rank will be of superior quality, and the refining process will not fail.]

[Weapon Refining: Unlocked by consuming 100 Heavenly Dao Points. After unlocking, you can use the Heavenly Tokens to refine magical artifacts. All magical artifacts of the same rank will be of superior quality, and the refining process will not fail.]

Fu Ze paused slightly.

It won't fail!

Moreover, it's the highest quality in its class!

That's a bit outrageous.

Fu Ze couldn't help but blurt out in his hometown dialect: "So refreshing, so awesome!"

What's the most frightening thing about alchemy and weapon crafting? It's that the materials are precious, the crafting process is difficult, and failure is easy.

Especially spiritual herbs and materials—they're not like cabbages on the street; gathering even a single one is difficult. If they painstakingly acquire the materials, only to have their alchemy furnace explode and their magical artifacts destroyed, the sorcerers would truly wish they were dead.

However, the "Decree of the Heavens" function directly eliminates the greatest risk.

Fu Ze felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

"Activate!"

[Would you like to consume 100 Heavenly Dao Points to activate the Alchemy function?]

"Yes."

[The alchemy function is now available.]

[Would you like to consume 100 Heavenly Dao Points to unlock the weapon crafting function?]

"Yes."

[The weapon crafting function is now available.]

Fu Ze's eyes twitched slightly as he watched his Heavenly Dao Points decrease by two hundred points in an instant.

It hurts!

But the pain only lasted for a moment.

These two features are absolutely worth it.

But once he actually clicked into the alchemy interface, his initial excitement was immediately dampened.

There are indeed many types of elixirs in it.

Healing, replenishing qi, nourishing the spirit, tempering the body, detoxifying, warding off evil, breaking through barriers —

Just looking at the name makes my heart itch.

However, the specific formulas for each type of elixir are grayed out.

If you want to refine pills, you must first buy the pill recipes.

Fu Ze remained silent for a moment.

"Goodness."

He couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath.

"Are you trying to trick me into spending money?"

First, you pay to unlock the features. After unlocking the features, you have to pay separately to buy different recipes.

This tactic seems all too familiar—aren't all the pay-to-win online games in my own world like this?

But complaints aside, you still have to buy it. After all, the [Decree of the Heavens] is genuinely useful!

After thinking for a moment, Fu Ze decided to focus on healing first.

He himself is seriously injured, and Li Junfeng has suffered even more damage to his essence, life force, and foundation. Finding a suitable elixir formula would be far more important than simply improving their own strength.

There are not many medicinal formulas for treating injuries.

At least, with his current access level, he can only see three images.

【Qingling Fuqi Dan】

[Jade Skin Bone-Regenerating Elixir]

[Heaven-Mending and Life-Extending Pill]

The first two types are obviously different; one focuses on restoring spiritual energy and spirit, while the other focuses on healing muscles, bones, and skin.

The third name, however, made Fu Ze's eyes freeze instantly.

He clicked on it and took a look.

[The Life-Sustaining Pill: It can replenish depleted vital energy, restore damaged life force, strengthen the foundation, and nourish the root. It has remarkable effects on those suffering from deficiency of essence and blood, damage to the root, and loss of life force.]

Fu Ze's heart skipped a beat.

Doesn't this perfectly match Li Junfeng's situation?

Using blood to fuel one's life force will damage one's essence, vitality, and martial arts foundation.

Just when I was about to fall asleep, this pillow came to my door!

Fu Ze did not hesitate.

"Buy."

[Would you like to spend 200 Heavenly Dao Points to purchase the recipe for the Heaven-Mending Life-Extending Pill?]

"Yes."

Purchase successful.

The next moment, a prescription appeared in Fu Ze's mind.

It's not just about the names of the medicinal herbs, but also the required age, processing methods, the compatibility of the main, auxiliary, and adjuvant herbs, and how to add materials when refining them using the Guanling (a type of ancient Chinese medicine).

Fu Ze felt a chill run down his spine after just a few glances.

A hundred-year-old wild ginseng, over eighty-year-old he shou wu, earth vein ling zhi, red sun grass, snow jade lotus seeds—and even a few other spiritual herbs he had never heard of before!

These things would have been almost impossible to gather in his original world during the Dharma-ending Age.

Let alone elixirs, truly aged herbs are extremely rare. Even if they exist, they've most likely already been acquired by the wealthy.

The medicine dealers and collectors took it.

But this world is different!

This place is rich in spiritual energy, teeming with evil spirits, teeming with sorcerers and warriors, and even gods are not uncommon—so it's not impossible that these spiritual herbs are also present here.

Fu Ze looked at the prescription and remained silent for a while.

"No matter what, at least there's hope."

He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Li Junfeng has been feeling somewhat guilty about damaging his foundation this time.

Although they didn't need to borrow blood to burn their lives back then, everyone could have died at the hands of the Hedgehog Evil God. Even though Li Junfeng did it voluntarily.

But this matter is ultimately related to him.

Now that we have the recipe for the "Heaven-Mending and Life-Extending Pill," we are no longer completely helpless.

He planned to collect the materials himself first, and then refine them directly using the [Heavenly Decree].

If they really can't gather all the ingredients, they can break down the formula after Liao Xibai regains power and use his influence and Feng Xuan's connections within the Daoist sect to find the necessary medicine.

Thinking of this, Fu Ze felt much better.

Then, he opened the weapon crafting interface.

Purple smoke drifted slowly, revealing a line of prompts.

[You can scan your currently held spiritual materials.]

Fu Ze looked down at the dark red iron piece beside him.

"scanning."

The next moment, a purple halo fell upon the dark red iron.

[Celestial Iron: Originally meteorite iron, it was once tainted with the blood of an unknown god, and its evil nature has been exhausted. It is tough, extremely dense, and possesses a very strong capacity to bear spiritual energy.]

[Can be retained as a primary material for weapon crafting.]

[It can also be broken down into 500 Heavenly Dao Points.]

Fu Ze's eyes lit up instantly.

Five hundred points!

He admitted that for a moment, he was genuinely moved.

That's a full five hundred Heavenly Dao Points.

I only got 500 points from the hedgehog evil god that I just painstakingly killed.

But he quickly suppressed the thought.

You can earn more Heavenly Path Points later.

However, once you miss out on this top-grade refining material, you might not get another chance.

Moreover, this thing itself is related to extraterrestrial gods. Although its evil nature has been exhausted, its material is ridiculously special. If it is truly refined into a magical artifact, it will definitely not be ordinary.

"reserve."

Fu Ze made a decision.

The weapon crafting interface then unfolded.

Unlike alchemy, which requires specific prescriptions, different prescriptions have completely different ingredients, cooking times, and effects.

Weapon crafting is more like several major categories.

Magic sword, magic knife, magic seal, token, bell, whisk, protective magic artifacts —

There are no fixed finished products or recipes under each category.

Because the final form of a ritual implement depends on the main material and the auxiliary materials.

One main ingredient, plus various spirit stones, spirit objects, and magical materials as supplementary ingredients. Different supplementary materials can add different attributes.

For example, wood struck by lightning is associated with lightning.

For example, submerged wood is considered to be yin in nature and is believed to have the power to pacify the soul and nourish the spirit.

For example, cinnabar, realgar, and black dog blood are used to suppress evil spirits and ward off evil influences.

If certain herbs and spiritual materials are added, it may be more focused on vitality and protection.

If incense and deity are added, it may acquire the characteristics of incense, vows, and guarding a region.

In short, alchemy uses fixed formulas, while weapon crafting is more flexible.

Fu Ze looked on thoughtfully.

"In other words, if I use this extraterrestrial iron as the main material, I can forge a magic sword. But whether it leans more towards lightning, fire, suppressing evil, or protecting oneself depends on what auxiliary materials I add later during the forging process."

He clicked on the category of magic swords.

[Current main material: Extraterrestrial Iron.]

[Basic cost for crafting a magic sword: 300 Heavenly Dao Points.]

Materials must be sourced by the user. Heavenly Dao Points will be deducted after the refining process begins.

Three hundred points.

Fu Ze's lips twitched slightly.

expensive!

However, it's not unacceptable.

After all, if a magic sword were truly forged, it would definitely be stronger than the lightning-struck jujube wood magic dagger he currently possessed.

There's no need to rush right now.

We have the extraterrestrial iron, but the auxiliary materials are not yet ready. If we just gather some ordinary materials to refine it, it would be a waste of this top-quality main material.

"Leave it for now."

Fu Ze made a decision quickly.

When it comes to refining weapons, it's better to delay than to act recklessly.

Then, he glanced at the remaining Heavenly Dao Points.

I started alchemy and weapon crafting, which cost me two hundred.

I spent another two hundred to buy the recipe for the "Heaven-Mending and Life-Extending Pill" separately.

After deducting the original five points, we now have about one hundred and five points available.

Fu Ze pondered for a moment.

Both Bajiquan and Xingyiquan are now complete.

The Southern Transmission of Maoshan Buddhism is now complete.

Alchemy and weapon crafting have just begun, and there is a temporary shortage of materials.

Tracing back to the source and forging the spirit is certainly good, but one hundred points can only improve one point of talent. Right now, his martial arts talent has just been improved, and his magical talent is already high, so there's no rush.

After much thought, the most suitable book to continue investing in is still "Shangqing Lingbao Dongshen Zhengfa".

This method is the true orthodox teaching of the Maoshan Shangqing sect!

Even with only five percent of the fragments, he had already learned several extremely powerful spells.

If he can continue to improve, it will definitely greatly enhance his strength.

"The remaining 105 points will all be used to complete the Shangqing Lingbao Dongshen Zhengfa."

Fu Ze waited excitedly—
