Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 100 Upgrade Card

Chen Xiuxian made proper arrangements for Hu Tiedao, placing him next door to him, and thoughtfully arranged for the gambling addict Ma Si'er to guard him.

Chen Xiuxian's charisma proved effective at this moment. He appeased Hu Tiedao, promising to sever the century-long feud between the four guardian families and protect him until the treasure excavation was completed, so that he could fly freely in the sky from then on.

No more need to keep this secret, no more torturing and killing each other.

As for Youyuandao, those wicked scoundrels are ambitious and have long been secretly planning to eliminate you after finding the treasure.

But I wouldn't do that. Not only would I not discard someone after they've served their purpose, but I would even share in the spoils.

"Because I cultivate immortality!"

Although this didn't sound very reliable, Hu Tiedao was now like a piece of fish on a cutting board.

Furthermore, Chen Xiuxian's great charm makes many of his words seem exceptionally sincere and credible.

Hu Tiedao believed it to some extent.

After all, Chen Xiuxian has already cooperated with the City God Temple. If all else fails, he can kill himself and directly interrogate his soul. The location of the treasure will not be difficult to obtain.

But since they're willing to spare my life, there's no need for them to keep lying to me.

……

Before searching for the Liaodong puppet emperor's treasure on the forum that evening, Chen Xiuxian first looked at the spoils from the recent annihilation of the Youyuandao sect.

Of course, the General's Office is still sending people to secretly arrest senior believers in the Daoist sect and some leaders among the people.

After all, they had been lying in wait for over a decade and had nearly 100,000 followers; they weren't so easy to completely eradicate.

But that has nothing to do with Chen Xiuxian.

He still has two things to focus on. The first is the pseudo-emperor's treasure. This is going to be incredibly lucrative!
The second is the important figure from SD province who arrived three days later.

After some interrogation, it was discovered that this adult was actually—Li Longhua! The third son of Li Tianshu, the leader of the Maitreya Sect!
The Maitreya sect was an important branch, or rather, a major component, of the White Lotus sect. They were among the main rebel groups of the Great Shun Dynasty; their names are frequently mentioned on the list!

As mentioned before, the White Lotus Sect should be considered a general term, a loose community formed by the fusion of many rebellious folk religious sects.

They have a core group, but some of their other major components are also quite powerful. Take, for example, the Maitreya sect!

The Maitreya sect is not like the Youyuan sect. The Youyuan sect was like a nail driven into Liaodong by the Maitreya sect, a pawn planted there, the kind that is used and then discarded.

So there wasn't much investment involved; the staff were all recruited after we arrived here.

For example, none of the four guardians were direct descendants of the Maitreya sect.

However, the cult leader Li Xincai was a direct descendant, and it seems he was also a distant relative of Li Tianshu.

However, this person has no talent for cultivation. He has the "Jade Emperor's Heart Response Scripture" but his cultivation level is very low.

It seems that something went wrong during the repairs, and he passed away from illness a few years ago.

After that, the Youyuandao (a Taoist sect) received even less attention, and its affairs were managed by Qian Dashanren's seven or eight white gloves in a kind of "parliamentary" manner.

Now, those white-gloved men have been arrested, and Qian the philanthropist was stabbed seventeen or eighteen times by Wang Chuan, his head even chopped off. His soul has been taken away by the ghost soldiers of the City God Temple for interrogation…

However, the "Jade Emperor's Heart Response Sutra (Red)" has fallen into Chen Xiuxian's hands!
However, this thing is too strange.

Cultivation requirements: Belief in Maitreya Buddha incarnate, Level 12, Root Bone 16, Comprehension 17, Physique 22, Killing 36 or more. Each level advancement requires activating the Jade Emperor Bodhisattva's Heart-to-Heart Dharma Assembly, which requires sacrificing one person as a ritual offering...

This technique is a red-quality, level 4 technique with many special effects, and the special magical power it produces is also very powerful.

There are 21 floors in total, with a special effect every three floors.

Upon reaching the 21st level, one can cultivate a Jade Emperor Dharma Body with innate supernatural powers, enabling one to continue cultivating even after the physical body perishes or lifespan is about to end, without falling into the ghost realm.

It can be said to be quite unique and has a lot to say about it.

But this thing is definitely not something that normal people cultivate.

Moreover, if you practice their techniques, you will be restrained or even controlled by them.

Basically, if you practice this kind of method, your life is tied to the White Lotus Sect's war machine.

There are players on the forum who have gone deep into the White Lotus Cult. Although they haven't reached the higher levels yet, they have managed to obtain some information through their "special skills" and the player merit system.

It is said that the general outline of the "White Lotus Manual" contains the ability to restrain all scattered martial arts techniques.

Moreover, only by collecting all the relevant volumes of cultivation techniques can one further refine the Qi and Sha.

In short, the cultivation of this thing fell into the hands of the White Lotus Sect.

Therefore, Chen Xiuxian thought that he should directly decompose it into magic dust to upgrade the card?
Or should we send it to the auction house and sell it for a few hundred spirit stones?
My need for spirit stones is quite significant.

Especially later on, when it comes to condensing Qi, many suitable Qi originates from special, remote locations, making them very difficult to find. Some require trading with other players. Since there's no opportunity for face-to-face trading, the auction house becomes the biggest reliance. This requires a considerable amount of spirit stones.

There were also other cards acquired this time.

The number of martial arts practitioners that Toad Gold intercepted from the outside alone was thirty or forty, and he obtained four blue cards and more than twenty green cards.

They're all martial arts manuals!
Nowadays, Chen Xiuxian doesn't care about most things, except for one [Cloud Step (Blue)], a lightness skill with a total of 8 levels.

2-layer special effect: Seamless, as light as a swallow, leaving no trace on the snow.

5-layer effect: Aerial stay, which consumes mana to briefly stay airborne, reducing the falling speed.

8th Layer Special Effect: Stepping on the Void, which allows you to perform double and triple jumps by stepping on the air in mid-air!
The first two effects of this thing are so-so, but the third effect is really interesting.

Although Chen Xiuxian can now ride the grass dragon for a while, it's not flying on his own. It's not very agile.

If one could hover in the air and tread on thin air, their maneuverability in the air would increase dramatically. They would be able to make many different maneuvers!
For the rest, let's see if Old Niu has anything he can use. The rest can either be auctioned or dismantled.

Actually, it's not appropriate for Lao Niu to "cheat" anymore.

Although he could directly "enlighten" Lao Niu and help him grasp the basics of the technique, Lao Niu would still have to work hard to improve his skills in subsequent training.

He can't level up through experience points, nor can he be listed in the cultivation section.

He wants to master a cultivation technique to its highest level, which would take at least three to five years. Giving him too much time would simply leave him no time to practice!
Moreover, having more cultivation techniques isn't necessarily better; learning too many can be disastrous. It's all about compatibility.

Old Niu was destined to fall behind, even though he had already planned to use the [Dust-Clearing Bloodline (Red)] affix card to change his bloodline.

That would only give him some means to protect himself in this world that is about to descend into chaos.

This can be seen as Chen Xiuxian protecting his friend.

Besides skill cards, there are also quite a few equipment cards and several attribute cards:
[Martial Arts Prodigy (Blue)]

[Naturally strong and muscular physique (blue)]

A burst of spiritual light (green) shot out from the top of the head.

[Idle and lazy (white)]

[Apply foot oil (green)]

[Commercial Fraud (Green)]

【Multifaceted and Versatile (Green)】

[Hypocrisy (White)]

[Short weight (white)]

[Shameless and smoky (ash)]

These cards will basically all be listed for sale at auction.

Vocabulary cards often sell better than skill cards and can fetch a higher price!
There are also attribute cards:

[Arm Strength Card (Green)], +2 Arm Strength
[Constitution Card (Green)], +2 Constitution
[Root Bone Card (Blue)], +1 Root Bone
[Lifespan Card (Blue)], +3 Lifespan - This was dropped by an old man, who is said to be called the Long-lived Old Man, and is said to be over eighty years old.

Quite old and doing nothing productive, resorting to rebellion. And now, he's met his match!
Needless to say, I used all of these cards myself on the spot.

Finally, there are two more function cards:

[Upgrade Card (Blue)] Upgrades a card to a blue card.

[Extract Card (Blue)] Extracts a specific attribute from a card—at the cost of destroying the card.

These two function cards are not part of the "Great Thousand Hongmeng" game.

This must be due to my own card cheat codes.

I've used upgrade cards before, but the previous one was a [Magic Item Upgrade Card (Blue)], which I feel has a wider range of applications than this one.

This is the first time I've seen a [withdrawal card (blue)].

After a brief thought, Chen Xiuxian decided to upgrade the summon card [Vajra Warrior Statue (Green)] that had been obtained from the Laughing Arhat.

"Ding~ Do you want to use the [Upgrade Card (Blue)] to upgrade the Summoning Card [Vajra Warrior Statue (Green)]? Yes or No?"

Yes!
"Ding~ [Upgrade Card (Blue)] has been consumed. Your Summoning Card [Vajra Warrior Statue (Green)] has been upgraded to [Wrathful Vajra Statue (Blue)]. Please check."
