Quick answer
Phantom Blade Zero has 167 bells on the map, plus 7 in the Phantom Illusionist Ruins, which don’t count. Bells are the rest points: you use them to fast travel, clear the fog from the map, refill health and medicines, and upgrade gear and skills. The 10 crane-shaped ones show story scenes.
Pangzhen is the region with the most bells (43 including the Mirage Estate). The last one in the game is The Fallen Dream, on Mount Soulrend, and the point of no return is The Last Chance.
