Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 163 Fusion Entries, Damn, a Big Loss
"Wow! This kid didn't cheat! He did it so fast, breaking into the top ten in just one day!"

The next morning, Zhuge Kongping returned to the venue panting. After handing in his tasks, he habitually glanced at the ranking on the giant bronze mirror next to him. Seeing that he had moved up two places, he couldn't help but smile with relief.

But then he glanced around and happened to see Li Kunshan's name, his eyes widened instantly and his face was filled with shock.

It was ranked 19th yesterday, and now it is 10th!

You know, the higher the ranking, the greater the competition. After all, there is no weakling who can rank at the top.

Many people have tried their best to maintain their ranking, and to move up one or two places, they have to work very hard.

Li Kunshan actually rose nine places at once. Such a huge leap is really shocking.

"He must have completed a difficult task with a high score."

Coincidentally, Zheng Zibu also came back and took a look at the ranking with a serious expression.

After he completed this task, he only dropped from 14th place to 13th place, which means that Li Kunshan had caught up with him.

As a senior uncle, I feel a little embarrassed.

“You really can’t be too conservative.”

After a brief pause, Zheng Zibu reached out and picked up a koi carp worth eight hundred points.

"Are you all so desperate?"

Zhuge Kongping curled his lips and picked up a koi with 400 points.

In his opinion, the second half has just begun, so it is better to play it safe.

In his experience, many people, though charging forward fiercely, would then falter. This was either due to injuries sustained from the mission's difficulty, or due to excessive depletion of vital energy and blood, leading to a lack of strength.

In short, no matter what the strategy is, in order to improve the ranking, everyone has to go all out.

However, this enthusiastic scene only lasted for two days. After two days, most people stopped accepting tasks.

Although the competition deadline has not yet arrived, it is over for them.

What's left now are all high-difficulty tasks with more than 400 points, which cannot be completed without sufficient skills.

Therefore, at this time, the ranking on the huge bronze mirror has basically stabilized.

However, the situation in front is still changing, and it is changing very frequently, and the closer you are to the front, the more it is changing!
For true masters, the competition seems to have just begun.

"Who do you think will take the top spot this time?"

"Lei Gang, he has been ranked first from the beginning until now."

"I don't think so. Ao Tianlong and Master Bomi are also very powerful."

"Hey, I guess it's Madonna."

"Tsk! What a lecher! But Madonna is indeed something special. She's the only woman in the top ten."

"Isn't anyone betting on Li Kunshan? He's also very aggressive."

At the meeting, everyone looked at the ever-changing rankings and talked about it.

Some people who are curious about the situation even opened a betting position.

Since everyone had nothing to do, they decided to place some bets for fun.

Winning is naturally good, but losing is no big deal. We are all people who practice cultivation, so we can be open-minded.

Most people hadn't left yet, awaiting the final rankings. With nothing better to do, they simply took out unused items and traded with others, making the venue feel more like a market.

After that, the game continued, and there was nothing new.

Li Kunshan followed the procedures and continued to complete tasks to improve his ranking.

On the first day he was tenth, on the third day he was eighth, on the fifth day he was sixth, and by the eighth day he was already fourth!

He was not very favored originally, but now he is the favorite to win the championship.

“They are all masters.”

With only two days left, Li Kunshan looked up at the top of the huge bronze mirror.

There were only three people ahead of him: Lei Gang, Madonna, and Ao Tianlong.

The gap between him and Ao Tianlong is not big, only a hundred points, but there is still a gap of more than a thousand points between him and Lei Gang!

You know, while he was doing the task, the other party was not idle either.

If we can't significantly increase our points, we might be able to fight for third or second place by the end of the game, but we have almost no chance of being first.

“…Give it a try!”

In front of the water tank, Li Kunshan looked at the few koi left inside with a serious expression.

After pondering for a moment, he made a decision and fished out the golden dragon koi with golden scales all over its body.

"Five hundred and seventeen miles away, a dead forest, a deserted temple to the east and a mass grave to the north, a tree demon lurking, points 2,100!"

It is worth 2,100 points, the highest among all current tasks, and the only task worth more than 2,000 points!

But this task was extremely difficult. Not only was the drawing of lots for the first half taking place, but the second half of the competition was already coming to an end. In fact, there were also masters who tried to challenge this task, but they all ended in failure. A Buddhist monk even lost his life!

If you want to reach the top of the list, now you have no choice but to give it a try.

"That's it!"

After receiving the small bronze mirror, Li Kunshan turned around and left.

Before leaving the venue, Li Kunshan met privately with Blood God No. 1.

"It's all here."

Number One handed two items to Li Kunshan. One was over seven thousand dollars, which he had earned from refining tools and selling talismans over the past month. The other was a flag, a magical tool made from materials that he had withheld from others during the tool-refining process.

"almost."

After taking the things and leaving, Li Kunshan did not immediately go to the mission location.

Instead, he took a detour and headed to the provincial capital, which was several hundred miles away.

"Boss, are the medicines ready?"

Li Kunshan walked into the largest drugstore in the city and shouted at the counter.

"You're here! Everything is ready, just waiting for you!"

An old man with a goatee came out and invited Li Kunshan into the inner hall with a smile on his face.

As early as half a month ago, Li Kunshan came by and made an agreement with the shopkeeper here to order a large batch of tonics and asked them to prepare them in advance.

Just twenty minutes later, Li Kunshan came out of the pharmacy.

Then we left the provincial capital and came to a remote place deep in the mountains.

"let's start."

Number Three separated from his body and spit out a bag full of tonics.

Time was running out, so Li Kunshan started taking the medicine immediately.

As the tonic was consumed rapidly, the Qi in the body continued to soar.

After a few hours, 60% to 70% of the medicinal materials were consumed.

"Hoo~!"

Li Kunshan exhaled a breath of turbid air, refined his essence into energy and ascended to the 40th level.

In addition, Li Kunshan has been continuing to absorb his essence and blood.

In this way, the qi and blood in the body can completely create another Blood God Son.

"Hmm~!"

Li Kunshan was already familiar with the process of creating the Blood God Son. His face darkened and he began to separate the qi and blood with pain.

Through previous attempts, we know that the Blood God Son can be customized not only in gender but also in shape and appearance.

This Blood God Son No. 4 was still in human form. After all, whether it was thunder magic or spells, they both required a human form to practice.

As the darlings of heaven and earth, the human race is the most perfect form. Otherwise, why would those spirits, who have achieved success in cultivation, want to transform into humans?

As for gender, it’s still male.

If anything went wrong with his original body, Li Kunshan would need the help of the Blood Godson to "rebirth." Having spent two lifetimes urinating while standing, he didn't want to be a woman.

I had already thought it through in my mind and the process went smoothly.

About an hour later, number four took shape and separated from the body.

But what is different from before is that, apart from the baby form in 'energy-saving mode', the adult looks only about six or seven years old.

The reason why Li Kunshan did this was that he wanted to try whether the Blood God Son could grow up like a normal person.

Another thing is that compared to adults, sometimes children are more convenient in doing some things.

"I've met Taoist friends."

Number Four landed and bowed slightly to Li Kunshan.

He looked at his body, curled his lips, and didn't care much.

"not bad."

Li Kunshan looked at Number Four and nodded. His features were about 70% similar to his, but even prettier and cuter. If he hadn't told him, he'd have thought he was his son.

After a moment, Li Kunshan took No. 4 back into his body.

Looking at the personal page with a serious expression.

"Fusion!"

After creating the Blood God Son, it’s time to fuse the entries!
In order to increase the success rate of the mission, we need to further enhance our strength.

In addition to increasing Qi and blood, fusing entries is also a way.

In this ghost hunting conference, in addition to points, Li Kunshan also obtained a large number of entries, which can now be combined.

As before, let’s merge all the white entries first.

【Fusion completed! 】

[Gain new items: Poison Blood (Blue), Devil's Claw (Blue), Keen Intuition (Blue), Worship God (Blue), Good Memory (Blue), Calm Mind (Blue), Strong Body (Blue), Move Like the Wind (Blue), Smooth Tongue (Blue), Cautious (Blue), Spit (Blue), Meticulous (Blue)!]

After confirmation, the system prompt will sound.

Fifty-seven white entries make up a total of twelve blue entries.

"continue!"

After just a glance, Li Kunshan immediately gave another order.

There are now a total of twenty-eight blue entries, still being integrated together.

【Fusion completed! 】

[Gained new entries: Sharp Eyes (Purple), Prescience (Purple), Pray to God (Purple), Photographic Memory (Purple), Selfless (Purple), and Bloodthirsty (Purple)!]

"not bad."

Six purple entries are combined, and some loss is normal.

This brings the total to sixteen purple entries.

During the game, although many ghosts were killed, they were all white and blue in nature. Only the ghost king had a purple attribute.

Sixteen entries can be combined to form four advanced entries.

But due to compatibility, it is usually not so perfect.

Li Kunshan glanced back and forth, thinking in his heart.

"One group first."

[Should I merge the purple entries "Electric Eyes", "Complaints", "Innate Gu Body", and "Desireless"?]

These four entries may seem to have different abilities, but in fact, they are all related to body organs.

With the combination of eyes, mouth, body and mind, the success rate should be good.

"Yes."

After careful consideration, Li Kunshan immediately confirmed it.

【Fusion completed! 】

[Achieve new entry Six Roots Purity (Orange)! ]

"It's done!"

Seeing the orange words, Li Kunshan's face showed joy.

But this "six senses are pure" doesn't sound like a good word. I looked down and fortunately, I wasn't affected much.

[Purity of the Six Senses: Stay away from worries, be unperturbed by any desires, and focus on cultivation without the risk of going astray or becoming possessed.]

"It's not bad."

After reading the introduction, Li Kunshan breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't really about purifying his roots, but rather a state of cultivation. It was somewhat similar to [Inner Spirit] and [Hide Your Light and Bide Your Moment], but with a different emphasis.

[Purity of the Six Senses] focuses on purity, making the practice process smoother.

But it seems to be of little use to Li Kunshan. After all, what he practices are authentic Taoist methods, not unorthodox ones, so it is not so easy for him to go astray.

"Another set!"

Without thinking too much about it for the time being, Li Kunshan pondered for a moment and proposed four terms again.

[Whether to integrate the purple items Prescience, Prayer, Photographic Memory, and Dual Core.]

These four entries are actually better than the previous group in terms of compatibility, as they all relate to abilities in thought and consciousness.

"Yes."

There shouldn’t be any problem, Li Kunshan confirmed directly.

【Fusion completed! 】

[A new entry, Awakening Past Life (Orange)!]

"again!"

Li Kunshan was happy again after succeeding again.

But then he looked at the prompt and couldn't help but frown slightly. What does it mean to awaken the previous life?

[Awakening of past life: Recover all memories and physical talents of the past life.]

"I'm sorry..."

When his guess was confirmed, Li Kunshan was speechless.

First of all, this ability is really strong.

Awakening past life memories is a key trick in many novels. For example, if one was a powerful person in a previous life, using past life memories can not only seize opportunities, but also cultivate various magical skills.

But for Li Kunshan, it was of no use at all.

As a time traveler, he already had memories of his past life! Moreover, he was just an ordinary person in his past life, which had no effect on this life at all.

"……never mind."

It was indeed annoying, but there was nothing he could do now that things had come to this.

There were still eight purple entries left. Li Kunshan looked at them over and over again and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, thinking that they were not suitable for further integration.

"In this case……"

Just stop like that?
But the number of orange entries has now reached seven.

"Give it a try!"

The tree monster in the mission is not easy to deal with, and Li Kunshan needs to improve his strength as much as possible.

Although he obtained two orange entries through the fusion this time, the improvement in strength was not obvious, and Li Kunshan was not satisfied.

In that case, let’s go one step further, integrate the orange entries, and try for the gold entries!
In short, this is how Li Kunshan advised himself in his heart, and it was very effective.

Gluttonous Stomach (Orange), Draw a Talisman (Orange), Ten Times the Attack Speed ​​(Orange), Angry Eyes (Orange), Sincerity Matters (Orange), Six Pure Senses (Orange), Awakening of the Past Life (Orange)
"what."

After reading it twice, Li Kunshan's eyes suddenly lit up.

After a brief pause, he gave the order.

[Should I merge the orange entries of Vajra's Wrathful Eyes, Six Senses Purity, and Awakening of Past Lives?]

Only three entries were picked out, but these three entries have excellent compatibility and are all related to Buddhism.

Although there are not four entries, the advantage is that the compatibility is high and the success rate is not low.

"Yes!"

In short, he decided to give it a try. Li Kunshan gritted his teeth and confirmed it.

【Fusion completed! 】

[Available the new entry "Reincarnation of the Spirit Child (Gold)"! ]

"Have it!"

When he saw the golden words, Li Kunshan's face was immediately filled with excitement.

Another golden one, in addition to the initial [God rewards hard work], this is the second golden entry he fused!

But after being excited, I looked at the content of the entry again and was stunned again. I had a bad feeling.

[Reincarnation of the Spiritual Child: The reincarnation of a holy monk, saving all living beings, possessing a high level of understanding of Buddhism, possessing relics, and protected by the Buddha's light.]

"I……"

After reading the introduction, Li Kunshan was completely stunned.

This is a special physique that greatly benefits cultivation.

It would be fine if it didn't add much to actual combat power, but the problem is that it actually targets Buddhism!

He is a Taoist priest!
"Oh shit."

It was not until a moment later that he came to his senses. As a monk who bestowed ordination, Li Kunshan could not help but swear. He suffered a huge loss this time.
