Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 77 [Diamond Umbrella (Blue)] [Iron Slide (Blue)]

Three cards appeared in front of Chen Xiuxian.

However, this time Chen Xiuxian discovered something different—the main designs of these three cards resembled abstract freehand paintings, depicting hands holding torches and a deep, dark tomb passage.

Could it be because the origin of this card is related to an ancient tomb?
Probably!

Chen Xiuxian's cheat system consists of two parts: the first is the player template system that comes with the game, and the second is the card cheat that was accidentally loaded.

The player template system is easy to implement; it's already been thoroughly explored in the forums.

Now it's just a matter of time before I can keep "upgrading" and "getting back" all those system functions.

However, these card-related cheats can only be discovered by oneself.

We haven't gained much yet.

……

My thoughts returned to the three cards.

All three cards started to glow blue, indicating they were all of the same level—blue-quality Tier 3 cards.

Chen Xiuxian clicked on the first one.

The card flips over, revealing a tall, imposing, and raggedly dressed red-haired corpse beast!
【Red-haired Corpse Hound (Blue)】

Tier 3 Follower Card
Created using some ancient secret technique, this corpse monster possesses immense strength and is impervious to weapons and ordinary magic. It retains most of its original fighting instincts, can use weapons, and can ride mounts or drive chariots.

Evaluation: A formidable general in the endgame, and completely fearless of death~
This... is driving a war chariot!
Chen Xiuxian chuckled to himself, wondering if he could drive his own [mine cart (green)].

Speaking of which, my mining cart isn't working very well these days.

The main problem is that the monsters are getting higher and higher, and we're finding it a bit too much to handle—that red-haired corpse beast actually managed to withstand the minecart and overturn it to the side.

I wonder if it can be upgraded?

Wait, didn't I have a [Magic Item Upgrade Card (Blue)]?

Damn it! Every day is so chaotic and confusing!

Chen Xiuxian suppressed his thoughts and continued to open the second card.

The card flips over, revealing a "plant" that looks like a lingzhi mushroom or a shiitake mushroom, emitting a faint glow, growing out of the cracks in the coffin.
【Coffin Fungus (Blue)】

Tier 3 Material Card - Herbs
Coffin fungus, also known as human head fungus, has demanding growth conditions. It requires high-quality coffin wood, a long-term diet of delicacies, male descent due to poisoning, still alive when placed in the coffin, spitting blood onto the coffin board, and death at the age of 73 or 84.

When the fungus is blood red, it is considered to be formed. It resembles Ganoderma lucidum but has no stem and has a special odor.

It contains special yin toxins that have the effect of solidifying the body, and should not be consumed directly.

Comment: You can't take medicine indiscriminately, and you can't say things carelessly.

Chen Xiuxian vaguely remembered this thing; he had seen it before when he was learning about market trends and broadening his knowledge at the auction house.

It is said to be a medicinal herb that can be used in the path of corpses, the path of ghosts, and the path of beast taming. It can be refined and used to make pills—the Gathering Form Pill, which can reshape the incomplete forms of ghosts and zombies.

Bidding starts at 22 spirit stones, but often reaches 40+ spirit stones.

This thing is useless to me, I can't exactly put it up for auction, can I?
You might as well choose the Red-haired Corpse Beast; those things would probably start at 50 spirit stones per bid!

It's said that many players of the Corpse Path are hoping to enter the tomb of the Fuyu Kingdom's general, hoping to subdue this red-haired corpse beast. It's said to be a top-grade material for corpse refining.

Chen Xiuxian then clicked on the last card. The card was flipped over, and the image on the card was an open black umbrella.

The umbrella is wide, with some faint dark-colored runes or similar patterns.

【Diamond Umbrella (Blue)】

Tier 3 Magic Item Card
The frame is made of refined steel and rare metals, and the canopy is woven from human-faced spider silk mixed with the hair of a female ghost who has been exorcised. Buddhist mantras and spells are also embroidered on the inside.

It can resist magic, protect oneself, and is impervious to swords and spears, as well as water and fire.

Protection: 67
Transformation: Provides additional protection against attacks from ghosts and spirits.

The automatic protective state consumes 120 mana per minute, and additional mana will be consumed when attacked.

Evaluation: A rare low-level protective magic item.

Chen Xiuxian saw the card and took it without any hesitation!

The decision is yours!

Generally speaking, Tier 2 and Tier 3 magic items are either functional or offensive, with very few being defensive. Umbrella-shaped magic items, however, are a major category of defensive magic items.

With a defense rating of 67, it's already strong enough to withstand an ebony sword.

Furthermore, it offers additional protection against ghosts and spirits. This is simply amazing!

This Vajra Umbrella, if put at an auction house, would probably fetch three or four hundred spirit stones!

Players have plenty of ways to attack, but none of them want to die. The penalty for death is too severe.

For Chen Xiuxian, death is likely more than just punishment. He may not have a second chance. Therefore, protection must be given top priority.

Especially since we might be involved in matters of fate in the future, we need to take extra precautions.

……

This dungeon run was incredibly valuable.

Not only did I break through the level 21 cap, but I also accumulated a lot of experience points and obtained several very valuable cards.

I'm getting more and more sophisticated with each new method!

Oh, by the way, upgrade the [Green Minecart]!
Chen Xiuxian found the [Magic Item Upgrade Card (Blue)] in his card collection, which can upgrade a magic item card to blue quality.

"Ding~ Do you want to use the [Magic Item Upgrade Card (Blue)] to upgrade the Magic Item Card [Minecart (Green)]? Yes or No?"

Yes!
"Ding~ [Magic Item Upgrade Card (Blue)] has been consumed. Your Magic Item Card [Mining Cart (Green)] has been upgraded to [Iron Slide Cart (Blue)]. Please check."

Holy crap, is it really that simple?

Chen Xiuxian had seen many posts and videos on the forum, all showing the process of upgrading magical artifacts.

Not only is it tedious and time-consuming, with a long process that consumes a lot of materials, but it also requires specific blueprints and secret techniques. Moreover, there is a certain chance that the upgrade will fail.

Some were upgraded, but the effect was distorted and not what they expected.

Some not only didn't improve, but their quality actually declined!

Some exploded completely, leaving only some materials, while others were completely destroyed.

This thing is incredibly exciting; many players even stream themselves upgrading their magical artifacts. It's like a digital version of instant noodles for many!
And then, with just one card, it suddenly upgraded?

Isn't this a bit too unfair to the other players?

Cool~
Ha ha ha ha! ! !

Chen Xiuxian examined the upgraded card; it resembled a handcart, but was much larger.

The wheel at the bottom is a giant iron wheel, similar to a road roller, covered with protruding spikes. It has blades on both sides and a huge battering ram-like head on top!
【Iron pulley (blue)】

Tier 3 Magic Item Card
It is said to have been created by Han Xin, the military genius of the Han Dynasty, who once used it to trap Xiang Yu, the arrogant overlord of Western Chu. Weighing 1,500 jin (approximately 750 kg), it was unstoppable when it charged, crushing all enemies in its path.

Iron Roller Impact: Summons an iron roller to violently ram and crush enemies!
Consumes 120 mana points per use!
Comment: I thought it was a speed bump!
This thing!
When Chen Xiuxian saw the shape of this thing, he thought about how if it charged into a group of hundreds of goblins, it would be a bloody mess all the way!

If mine carts are just mining tools, then these iron sleds are definitely war machines!

We need to find a few opportunities to test its power; we need to know ourselves and our enemy!

Let's see how much drive they have!
……

After breakfast, the three of them went out into the street.

The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, so we need to rush to buy some New Year's goods in the last few days.

Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and the closer it gets to the end of the year, the cheaper the New Year's goods will be!
Shenyang is not far from the sea and is the largest city in Liaodong, so all the good things are transported here.

The large fish, over a meter long, and all sorts of shellfish, frozen solid, were displayed on the roadside stalls.

The hanging pig legs and trotters, the roosters with their necks tucked in the cages, the sticky rice cakes that each family had steamed and frozen, and all sorts of couplets and such.

Many people wore cotton hats and dog-skin hats, with their sleeves tucked in, and went to the streets to inquire about prices and make purchases. From time to time, the sound of firecrackers could be heard in the distance. Something called the flavor of the New Year permeated the streets and alleys.

However, Chen Xiuxian frowned secretly.

They've been following us for three blocks already; this can't be a coincidence.

Who is it? Looking for trouble during the Lunar New Year?
