In the cultivation world of the Nine Provinces, merit and battle merit, although only displayed as numbers in a cultivator's battlefield marking, can allow cultivators to obtain many tangible assets.
Both are crucial for cultivators.
There are generally three sources of merit, the first is killing enemies, the second is selling items to Heaven's Augury treasure vault, and the third is issued by the Governor during one's time in the Spirit Stream Realm, beyond these, there are no other means.
However, the sources of battle merit, aside from killing enemies in certain special occasions, are more diverse, like the last time in the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain secret realm, where Lu Ye didn't earn much battle merit merely by killing enemies, but by leading people like Pang Dahai to address the crisis at its source, he gathered a substantial amount of battle merit.
