This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Chapter 98 The Enlightened Saint and the River of Blood

【Holy Blood Purification】

Item Description: A concentration training method granted by the Archbishop to the Holy Blood Priests.

It can open up spell slots, increase the maximum concentration value, and strengthen all types of hymns.

After years of fear and belief in the Holy Blood, the Archbishop realized the truth:

Faith is a reflection of the inner world of the devout.

The so-called hymns are, in essence, nothing more than the external manifestation of the inner world.

Therefore, the archbishop cast aside his unnecessary fear, eliminated the turbidity and retained the purity, and became an enlightened saint.

"Why haven't I seen this thing in the game?"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi couldn't help scratching his head.

This book on concentration practice didn't match what he remembered.

The Holy Blood Order in the game only has two concentration training methods, one for the Holy Blood and one for the Lord of Holy Blood.

But this book [The Holy Blood Purification] does not match the other two books.

In other words, this is actually the third concentration training method that has not appeared in the game.

And look at the item description: It can enhance all types of hymns.

"This method of cultivating concentration should not appear here, but should appear in the later period..." he thought to himself.

And this saint...

"Euroste, do you know the Enlightened Saint?"

He looked at Eurost who was looking through the documents of the Holy Blood Order.

"An enlightened saint?"

Eurost was stunned for a moment, then looked up in surprise.

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"So you know?"

"Well, I know that enlightened saints are the most advanced hymnists. It is said that they understand the true nature of hymns and are thus enlightened, able to use hymns from all faiths."

"What do you mean? Aside from enlightened saints, no one else can use hymns from other faiths?"

"Of course not."

Eurost shook his head. “Just like a magician cannot use all types of magic, the same is true for hymns.

"If it could be used freely, then the conflicts of faith between religious groups would have long ceased to exist... That's why they say those people are enlightened saints."

Eurost pondered for a moment, then counted on his fingers. "As far as I know, among the enlightened saints, there's the Archpriest of the Blazing Flame Order, the Patriarch of the Beast Herd, and the Dragon Priest of the Ancient Dragon Cult... Isn't this common sense to you, Excellency?"

"Because the archbishop of the Holy Blood Order may also be an enlightened saint." Ye Yiyi raised the book in his hand.

Ye Yiyi answered irrelevant questions. Eurost did not care, but he could not help but frowned: "No wonder he can imprison gods. This is not surprising."

"What? Do you think it's difficult? Do you want to back out?" Ye Yiyi teased him.

"I am not afraid of gods, let alone enlightened saints."

Eurost shook his head, stroking the threaded cane in his hand, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"An Enlightened Saint can use a variety of holy hymns, some of which may be capable of large-scale attacks. If we engage him directly in battle in the Upper City, it could result in heavy casualties!"

"This is easy. Before the battle begins, I will use the Transformed Insects to drive all the people in the upper city to the lower city. That way, we won't have to worry about casualties."

"Magic is so convenient." Eurost sighed.

"It's not too late for you to learn now."

"Unfortunately, I tried, but it turns out I don't have the talent to learn magic."

"talent?"

"Those books on magical theory are so obscure and difficult to understand that they serve as a great sleeping pill for me."

"..."

Ye Yiyi rolled his eyes, spread out the book in his hand and placed it on his forehead.

His head was like a dry sponge, absorbing all the knowledge that flowed from the book.

Ignoring Eurost who boasted about wasting his time dating eight girls at the same time when he was young, he turned around, pulled open the light curtain and took a look.

There was a new item [Supreme Blood Purification] in the column for concentration practice, and the progress bar of [Stop the War and Seek Questions] actually increased to 20%, a one-time increase of 10%!

"It turns out that the concentration practice of hymns can also increase progress?!" Ye Yiyi was surprised.

This is undoubtedly a good thing.

This means that he doesn't have to limit himself to the concentration practice of collecting magic, the concentration practice of hymns and kings' spells can also be effective.

In addition, his other attributes have also changed.

Spell Slots: 5 → 6↑ (3 + 3)

"That's right. This extra spell slot can be used for tracking magic arrows or silence. This way, I can use Fragmented Feathering as a permanent spell."

专注值：156→178↑（107+55+16）

107来自15点集中力，55是三本集中力修持法带来的提升，16则是专注宝石项链带来的10%提升。

At the same time, he also gained a personal characteristic called [Holy Blood Purification].

Holy Blood Purification: Increases mana and damage of all types of hymns.

"It's worthy of being the concentration practice method of an enlightened saint. It's really amazing!" Ye Yiyi was very satisfied.

Although he can't use this feature for the time being, he won't have to worry about it after getting the fake idol.

Then he checked the gem that could be used to embed an enchantment slot.

Skill Gems

Item Description: This gem is said to be a metamorphic gemstone from ordinary stone, and is extremely rare.

Used for qualitative enhancement of weapons.

A damage modifier that improves the "skill" attribute of a weapon.

The beast of precious stones feeds on stone and is a sublime life in stone.

Their backs are said to produce exotic gemstones with special powers.

"Not bad, not bad. This gem suits me very well. I can equip it on either the Ferocious Severing Fang or the Healing Short Thorn.

"As for the jewel beasts, I remember there are quite a few in the Ten Thousand Stone Crystal Forest bordering the south. I'll go back and swipe a few and get some gems."

After putting away the gem and the concentration training method, he turned his head to look at the old hunter who continued to look through the cult documents.

"I'll take the elevator down and come back in a moment."

"When you come up, don't forget to place another booby trap below, then lower the elevator and place another booby trap on the upper level."

Eurost raised his head and gave a charming smile. "Even the dumbest beast wouldn't step into the same trap twice in a row, but humans are different. This trap is very effective, so why not use it a few more times?"

"You are so insidious." Ye Yiyi couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the old hunter.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Excellency. This is just a little bit of experience."

Ye Yiyi took the elevator back to the lower level. The situation there remained the same. Apart from the minced meat and blood in front of the elevator door, there was not much change.

He returned to the Cursed Hall through the Holy Monument, and from the Saint's side, he converted the 36336 soul echoes on his body into 3 attribute points, all of which were added to intelligence.

Level 45 → 48↑

Intelligence Wuyi p Qihua Zero qiVI? Yao"Q UN39→42↑

In this way, his intelligence reached 40, reaching a certain level, and he gained an extremely powerful intelligence characteristic.

Intelligence Characteristics: Strong Intelligence: Greatly increases magic attack power, moderately increases magic duration; can use lock-on to attack enemies out of sight.

"The characteristics in reality are much stronger than those in the game." Ye Yiyi scanned the light screen and couldn't help but sigh, "It's simply the difference between the buyer's show and the seller's show."

At this point, the mage school that adds intelligence points has basically taken shape.

What limits Ye Yiyi's output now is that he does not have high-level powerful magic.

"At 40 intelligence, you can use Magic Comet and Shining Magic Torrent. You can also use Magic Field and Temporary Invincibility. Unfortunately, I don't have them. It seems that in addition to searching for the Ownerless Magician Tower, I also need to find a way to go to the Hall of Stopping War."

After returning from the Cursed Hall, Ye Yiyi put on the tracking magic arrow, then stepped into the elevator, closed the iron door, and placed two molten pots on top.

After the elevator reached the upper level, he placed two more molten pots on the iron door.

Although a Molten Pot can kill a bishop, it cannot kill a Holy Blood Knight, so Ye Yiyi placed two.

Now, not to mention the Holy Blood Knight, even the Holy Blood Knight Master will die!

"time to go."

After finding Eurost, the two left the church and came to the backyard of the church.

The Holy Blood Knight was still standing alone in the rainstorm, without making any movement.

"Does this guy think it's cool to get wet in the rain?" Ye Yiyi asked Eurost.

“Actually, this is really cool.”

Eurost replied with deep feeling:

"When I joined the church school and chose to be a hunter, it was so I could wear a black windbreaker and walk through the dark streets in the pouring rain - that's what young girls at that time liked."

"What do you mean by carrying a knife but not an umbrella on a rainy night?" Ye Yiyi complained.

"What a brilliant summary!" Eurost smiled in surprise. "If Gavin were to come, he'd only be able to say this, which wouldn't be popular nowadays."

"So what's the most popular thing now?"

"It's the costume of a wizard wrapped in a long robe, wearing a pointed hat, and holding a wizard's wand."

Eurost looked Ye Yiyi up and down, frowning slightly, "Your Excellency's outfit doesn't look like a magician at all."

"That's because I'm afraid of getting blood on my wizard robes. I really value those clothes."

"I see."

The two men chatted as if no one was around, completely ignoring the Holy Blood Knight who was charging towards them with his sword raised high.

"Intruder! Die!!"

"Let me do this."

Ye Yiyi took out the living amber stick and raised it high.

Amidst the flashes of white light, a three-meter-long magical sword condensed into shape.

"die!"

He swung his staff heavily, and the Holy Blood Knight was startled and quickly raised the straight sword in his hand to resist.

But how could that tiny straight sword compete with the three-meter-long magical sword?

The sword chopped down, and the Holy Blood Knight was cut into two pieces along with his sword.

"That's really amazing!" Eurost was amazed and couldn't help clapping his hands.

"I didn't expect that besides insect magic, you are also proficient in mana magic."

"I know more than you think."

Picking up the broken straight sword and putting it away, Ye Yiyi thought about it and did not take out the universal cauldron to split it for the time being.

The main thing is that it is difficult to explain this to Eurost.

Even if he doesn't care after knowing it.

But Ye Yiyi knew what could be revealed and what should not be exposed.

It's good to be cautious.

Entering the metal pipe, the two walked inside under the illumination of the torches in the pipe.

"It's very clean here." Ye Yiyi glanced at the clean pipe floor. "It's much better than the environment of the drainage pipes on the lower floor."
