This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 696 - 25 The Plight of the Human Race_2

This ethereal crystal plaque, named the Identity Imprint, is essentially a Spirit Art developed by the Spiritual Cultivators of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

Its three functions all have extremely important practical significance, especially the ability to record combat achievements.

After all, battle merits are the most important reward for Cultivators slaying demons, as well as a significant motivation for Cultivators to risk life and death to enter the battlefield outside the domain.

However, Cultivators often act alone, and when it comes to tallying battle merits, how to count, as well as potential issues of overreporting and false reporting, are problems that must be addressed.

Initially, on the Human Race side, the method of counting involved Cultivators retrieving and bringing back the eyeballs of the slain Demon Race members as proof after killing them.

But later on, the Human Race’s great Cultivators discovered that in many cases, battles between Cultivators and demons often resulted in life-and-death struggles, where it was impossible to hold back, making it unfeasible to leave behind a demon corpse in its entirety.

Especially for Dharma Cultivators, one Heavenly Thunder strike could turn a demon directly into ashes; let alone eyeballs, not even a hint of hair would remain, so wouldn’t killing the demon be in vain?

And if Cultivators were to hold back in order to leave the demon’s body intact, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to courting death.

Moreover, in many instances, Cultivators often didn’t have time to clean up the battlefield and had to leave quickly.

In the end, there were also some Human Cultivators with dishonest hearts who cheated their way to obtaining battle merits by forging demon eyeballs.

Considering all these situations, the great Cultivators of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion then created a new Spirit Art to specifically address this issue.

Furthermore, as it was continuously improved upon, many new functions were added, and it finally became what it is now.

In Lu Qingshan’s understanding, this was essentially a personal "database" to carry around.

...

After the scar-faced Cultivator had finished introducing the functions of the Identity Imprint, those dozen or so Cultivators in black Mystic Armor began orderly distributing Identity Imprints to the new arrivals present.

Lu Qingshan soon received his own Identity Imprint, and then quietly branded it onto the Sword Sect Token given by Xi Xiang.

"Try exploring the Token with your Divine Sense," said the scar-faced Cultivator once all the newcomers had their Identity Tokens.

Lu Qingshan did as instructed.

The next moment, several lines of ancient characters dancing like dragons and phoenixes entered his field of vision.

Identity----Blank

Sect---Sword Sect

Permissions----Level Wu (To advance to the next level "Ding", you need to accumulate over one hundred battle merits.)

Battle Merits----Zero

This information constituted his personal data.

And above the Identity section was blank.

This was because Human Cultivators often needed to conceal their identity due to various special circumstances.

Therefore, Yumen Pass wouldn’t directly inquire about the identity of the new Cultivator recruits; the name in this Identity field was to be written by the Cultivators themselves.

Of course, you could even use a false name, but thereafter that alias would become your code name within Yumen Pass.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Qingshan still chose to write down his real name in the end.

Identity---Lu Qingshan.

...

Beneath the personal information, there was another list named the Treasury.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

Lu Qingshan’s Divine Sense casually swept through it, and the list immediately opened up before him.

"Spell Techniques," "Cultivation Techniques," "Spirit Material," "Magic Artifact," "Spirit Pill," "Secret Technique," "Auxiliary Types"—seven major categories caught his eye, each meticulously organized.

Under each major category, there were many subdivisions, for example, under "Magic Artifact," there were so-called "Defensive Artifact," "Attack Magic Artifact," "Auxiliary Magical Artifact," and so on, extremely varied and comprehensive.

Within each subcategory, the variety of Spiritual Objects encompassed was astonishing, dazzling to behold.

Each Spiritual Object could be exchanged using battle merits.

Lu Qingshan casually clicked on the auxiliary category, and immediately countless pictures and corresponding descriptions flooded his vision.

But most of the pictures were grayed out, which meant his permissions were insufficient—the more precious the Spiritual Objects, the higher the required Level of permissions for exchange.

Among these grayed-out pictures were the items that Lu Qingshan valued the most.

"Spirit Crystal---ten battle merits each (Ding Level permissions required)"

To him, one Spirit Crystal was worth fifty thousand Experience Points.

And in Yumen Pass, one Spirit Crystal required ten battle merits, meaning each point of battle merit could be converted to five thousand Experience Points.

This was why in his previous life, Seven Mountains had become known as a leveling paradise in the eyes of players.

...

After Lu Qingshan had quickly skimmed through the Treasury list, he soon came back to his senses.

This was because once familiar, twice routine; he had perused the Treasury list countless times in his previous life, so looking at it now didn’t evoke much of a sense of novelty.

But the other new Cultivator recruits didn’t have Lu Qingshan’s experience, to them, everything was novel and exciting, a treasure trove filled with surprises, and they were completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume, dazzled and slow to regain their composure.

The scar-faced Cultivator wasn’t in a hurry, just stood there smiling, quietly waiting for everyone’s novelty to pass.

After half a quarter of an hour, most of the newcomers had shifted their focus away from the Treasury.

"Everyone look this way, next, I will take you to get a brief understanding of Yumen Pass and the situation on the battlefield outside the domain," the scar-faced Cultivator saw the scene and slightly raised his voice, smiling, "Follow me."

.....

With the scar-faced Cultivator leading the way, the group finally entered Yumen Pass.

They were first taken up to the towering walls of Yumen Pass.
