The monks of Haiya Sect checked the fruits of their labor and showed a satisfied expression on their faces.

He bowed slightly to the merchants on both sides of the street, and then turned into blue light and soared into the sky and left the work site. Next, he had to rush to the next main road covered with snow to continue his public service work.

Although it was not the first time Yang Lu had seen a cultivator's magic performance, this miracle that was like the low-end version of "Moses Opens the Sea" was still amazing.

Cultivators help the people clean up the snow, which is nothing new in Haiya City.

Although all cultivators have the ability to move mountains and fill the sea, the existence of the merit system of heavenly laws has prevented the Jiuzhou cultivation world from becoming a jungle arena where the strong prey on the weak.

According to the rules of the Heavenly Way in the Cultivation Realm of Jiuzhou, any behavior that is conducive to social stability will receive the merit reward of the Heavenly Way, and any behavior that destroys social stability will be punished by the Heavenly Way. Merit is like a hidden attribute in the online game of the Earth, which is invisible and intangible, but it does exist.

It is precisely because of this hidden incentive and constraint mechanism that ordinary mortals do not have to worry about dying after leaving the door. The old monsters who have been practicing for thousands of years will not fall like dumplings, and the game balance can be formed among the strong.

In Yang Lu's view, if there were no restrictions on the law of heaven, the cultivation civilization would have been destroyed long ago.

This is not his subjective assumption.

At the peak of the Cold War on Earth, less than five countries around the world had nuclear weapons, and the launch of nuclear weapons of each country required at least 2-3 well-thoughtful national leaders to press the nuclear button at the same time before they could officially take effect. But even so, humans almost broke out in full-scale nuclear wars several times.

Looking at the entire Jiuzhou cultivation world, there are tens of millions of Qi-refining cultivators who are comparable to human-shaped tanks, hundreds of thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators who are comparable to human-shaped tactical missile launchers, tens of thousands of Jindan cultivators who are comparable to human-shaped nuclear warheads, and hundreds of old Nascent Soul monsters whose destructive power is far greater than that of hydrogen bombs.

If these cultivators want to activate immortal arts, they only need a slight divine thought to move. This is much more hasty than the process of launching nuclear bombs. Its power is so great that it can even change the planet's climate.

It is precisely because merit is very important to cultivators, that too much merit will even cause cultivators to fall into irrational devils, so that human-shaped nuclear bombs in the cultivation world can form a stable game balance.

The behavior of the Haiya Sect monks clearing the road just now is the most common daily work of cultivators in Jiuzhou - cultivating merits.

The so-called merit of cultivating can be simply understood as the version of helping others. What kind of good things can be done to obtain merits of the heavenly way? In fact, there is no accurate statement in the world of cultivating.

After all, merit is invisible and intangible. Cultivators of all generations can only continue to explore by "proposing hypotheses - practicing test - correcting hypotheses".

Like the disciples of the Haiya Sect, you can obtain the merits of the Heavenly Way; like the Spirit Stone Reserve Bank, you can also obtain the merits of the Heavenly Way; like some "Ancient Style Cultivators", you can also obtain the merits of the Heavenly Way; like some "ancient style cultivators", you can also obtain the merits of the Heavenly Way...

Corresponding to merit, if the behavior of a cultivator is denied by the way of heaven, then the cultivator will also gain a kind of "negative merit" - that is, the so-called karma.

Killing and abuse of mortals at will will lead to karma, malicious attacks on junior monks with lower cultivation levels will lead to karma, disrupting social stability will lead to karma, and even malicious damage to people's livelihood infrastructure will lead to karma...

It is precisely because of the existence of cause and effect in this dark, the equilibrium of the game between the cultivators and the mortals, the high-level cultivators and the low-level cultivators have barely reached the balance of the game, allowing the entire society to operate normally.

But even so, there is still serious asymmetry in the status of cultivators and mortals.

After all, when cultivators massacre mortals, they only need to deduct merit as the price. As long as they are not killed with serious sins, they will not fall into the devil's path because of karma; but when mortals fight against cultivators, the price they pay is their own life.

For cultivators, massacre of mortals can be regarded as a special consumption behavior, with only a question of whether it is worth it or not, and there is no question of whether it is possible or not. Cultivators who are passionately killing people are like the impulse consumption of people on earth, which is not a rare thing.

This is why, when Chen Ping proposed to let Yang Lu intervene in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, Yang Lu would be very resistant.

The white gloves to become cultivators seem to be majestic on the surface, but in fact they are dancing on the tip of the knife. If the cultivator behind the hostile chamber of commerce is offended, the consequences will not be something that a mere mortal can bear. The other party can't afford to offend the Golden Knife Sect, but killing him, the front pawn, is no problem!

This is like a life-and-death chess game. You can only play chess honestly, but the opponent loses in a hurry but may turn the table up at any time. If you are not careful in this chess game, it will be a result of no return.

Fortunately, Chen Ping did not deliberately let him die, but just let him do what he can, so Yang Lu planned to join the Qingning Chamber of Commerce first to see the situation before deciding on the next action strategy.

Just as Chen Ping said, no matter how bad it is, he can at least hide under the big tree of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to enjoy the cool air.

This is countless times more comfortable than a homeless shelter!

Furthermore, although mortals are in an absolute disadvantage compared to cultivators, Yang Lu is not without room for initiative.

Since he was able to pass a working paper, he attracted the attention of the president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, and naturally he could also exert his special influence through other channels.

However, the Ascension Conference is about to start in three months, and he himself doesn't want to cause too much trouble before this. If he can measure his spiritual root qualifications at that time, he can play one force and reduce ten times, and there is no need to do these twists and turns.

Along the clean and refreshing street, Yang Lu led Murong straight to the destination of the trip - Qingning Chamber of Commerce Headquarters.

Yang Lu has only been to the homeless shelter opened by the Qingning Chamber of Commerce in a civilian area, and has never been to the headquarters of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce in a wealthy area. Fortunately, it is difficult for Murong, who was a child-born person.

With the guidance of the newspaper girl, they quickly found the right direction to move forward.

Haiya City is more than ten miles in radius. According to the standards of the Middle Ages, this is definitely a world-class super metropolis. However, Yang Lu had long seen through observation that Haiya City is actually a modern city dressed in the cloak of a medieval city.

The existence of spiritual aura array and the existence of immortal cultivators makes the cultivation world productive in approximately the early years of the Industrial Revolution. If we compare London and Paris in the 18th century, Haiyacheng is the largest commercial port in the eastern part of Zhongzhou, the scale of this city is not an exaggeration.

Although Haiya City is quite vast, the wealthy gathering areas are relatively crowded. With Haiya City Lord's Mansion as the center, Haiya Pavilion and several large chambers of commerce are lined up along the ring according to their status.

As an emerging force that has just intervened in Haiyacheng in recent years, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce can only be built at the junction of the wealthy and civilian areas. However, the straight-line distance from Haiya Pavilion is not too far, and it can be reached on foot.

Since the grassroots monks of Haiya Sect had just completed the cleaning of snow on the road, most of the merchants on the left and right sides were still closed, and the entire city had not yet fully restored to its original liveliness.

Walking on the slightly empty street, Yang Lu suddenly noticed something was wrong. He always felt that someone was quietly following him at about twenty or thirty meters behind him.
