Mythical Card Maker: Starting with the Mountain Spirit

About ten minutes later, the last group of trainees returned.

The Yinluo Mountain Secret Realm has also been officially closed.

Vice President Luo Chuan walked onto the platform, said a few words, and then announced the start of the trade fair.

The rest area quickly became lively, with many trainees taking out their unused items and placing them on the stalls in front of them.

For a time, people came and went, and the sounds of bargaining filled the air, creating a noisy and chaotic scene.

Lin Mo didn't rush to set up a stall. Instead, he walked around the stalls, stopping occasionally to ask questions.

His goal was clear: to find auxiliary materials that could be paired with the [Heartbreak Core] he possessed.

He already had a general idea of ​​what the third card was.

What we need to do now is select suitable materials and gradually improve them.

After walking a few steps, Lin Mo suddenly stopped.

He noticed several kinds of ingredients on the stall in front of him, two of which immediately caught his attention.

【Demon Fang Zha Jia】(white) and 【Demon Cloth】(white).

These two materials are rich in yin and evil energy, which surprisingly matches his [Grief-stricken Master's Resentment Core] (purple).

Lin Mo immediately squatted down, pointed to the two materials, and asked in a calm tone, "How do we exchange these two materials?"

The stall owner was an unremarkable-looking young man with a thick beard, dressed in a linen sweater, with a somewhat unconventional style.

He first sized up Lin Mo a few times, then stated the exchange conditions he wanted.

Do you have any creature-related materials?

"Are animal-based ones okay?"

Lin Mo thought for a moment, then took out a [Bone Winged Flying Insect] (white) and a [Yin Sha Hyena] (white) from his pocket and handed them over.

The bearded youth took the material, examined it carefully, and after a while, nodded: "Although it's not humanoid, it'll do!"

After saying that, he handed the [Ghost Fangzhi Frame] and [Ghost Clothes Linen] to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo took the materials and continued walking towards the next stall.

In the next half hour, Lin Mo used [Spirit Crystal of Flying Skull Moon] (green) and [Moonlight Dance Score] (white) to exchange for [Water Ghost Essence] (green) and [Ferryman's Paddle] (white), finally gathering all the materials needed to create the third card.

Finding an empty spot, Lin Mo arranged the remaining material cards one by one, and then began to wait for the right person to come.

He has four more images in total, two blue and two white.

[Soul Shards] (White), [Ghostly Dust] (White), [Upside-Down Dancing Shoes] (Green), [Dancer's Broken Neck Necklace] (Green)

Kalimmer did not intend to barter these four cards.

What he needs most right now is star coins.

Therefore, the transaction terms stated above only accept Star Coins, and the price assessed by the staff was also noted next to it.

Soon, several students gathered around.

One of the girls pointed to the material card with a red high heel on the cover and asked, "Excuse me, can I trade this [Upside-down Dancing Shoes] (green) for my [Smiling Crust] (green)?"

"I need this to craft equipment cards."

Lin Mo shook his head, his tone indifferent: "Sorry, I only accept star coins now, I don't exchange them for materials."

The girl was somewhat disappointed and had no choice but to turn and leave.

Just then, a boy dressed in brightly colored clothes and with dyed yellow hair walked over.

His gaze swept over the items on Lin Mo's stall, his eyes instantly lighting up as he asked, "Brother, how much are these materials?"

Lin Mo pointed to the prices on the stall.

"I want them all!"

The young man spoke without hesitation, his tone bold and forthright, drawing the attention of the surrounding students.

Want them all?

This kid is too arrogant. Where did he come from, a rich second-generation?

Lin Mo was also somewhat surprised, and looked up at the boy: "Are you sure you want them all?"

"Yes, I want them all!"

The boy smiled and nodded, his tone still cheerful, "It's only 140,000 star coins. I just happen to need these materials to craft new cards, so this amount of star coins is nothing."

"If you ever have any unused materials in the future, just contact me. I'll buy them at 10% above market price, no haggling!"

"What a rich bastard!"

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat; he certainly couldn't miss such a big customer.

He nodded immediately: "Okay."

The boy immediately took out his phone and transferred the money on the spot, his actions swift and decisive.

Soon, Lin Mo's phone received a transfer notification.

With 140,000 yuan credited to my account, I'm one step closer to paying off the loan.

Lin Mo inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

After the transfer was completed, the boy picked up his phone and opened the QR code scanner: "Hey bro, let's add each other as friends. If you ever have materials to sell, just message me."

Lin Mo did not refuse and accepted his friend request.

The boy's name was Qian Duoduo, a very common name, and he came from Danxia Card Making College in the neighboring Linhai District.

After chatting briefly with Qian Duoduo, Lin Mo packed up his stall and left.

His mission was complete, so there was no reason for him to stay any longer.

After leaving Yinluo Mountain, Lin Mo continued walking towards the south gate of the academy.

This time, however, he did not go to the hotel, but instead found a cultivation room called "Jingduzhai".

This training room was opened by a deacon of the Wushan City Card Making Association. It is only about one kilometer away from the academy and has a very good reputation.

Lin Mo told the girl at the front desk about the rental period, and after completing the registration, she handed him a white card.

Following the room number on the card, Lin Mo soon arrived at a room with the words "B368" engraved on it.

Swipe the card to open the door, and a rich spiritual energy will greet you.

In an instant, Lin Mo felt completely comfortable, his pores relaxed, as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

"One, two, three... a full eight Spirit Gathering Cards! No wonder they charged me 300 Star Coins for an hour, that's quite a generous offer!"

Lin Mo sighed, casually closed the door, and looked around the room.

The training room wasn't large, about ten square meters in size.

In the center of the room, a small area was marked out with slots, and inside was a futon.

Apart from that, the room had no extra decorations and was very simple.

Lin Mo summoned the Mountain Spirit to keep watch, then took out two Frost Vein Condensing Essence Grasses, sat cross-legged on the futon, and slowly began to practice the "Azure Breathing Method" taught by the academy.

This "Canglan Breathing Technique" is the lowest level of breathing technique, and the speed of cultivating spiritual power is extremely slow.

However, Lin Mo had no choice; to obtain more advanced breathing techniques, he had to purchase the corresponding knowledge cards.

Those knowledge cards were too expensive for him to afford with his current financial resources, so he could only use them for the time being.

The Frost Vein Condensing Essence Grass melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a cool and mellow spiritual energy surged into his body, slowly flowing along his meridians to nourish his physical form.

Lin Mo closed his eyes and focused on guiding the spiritual energy, gradually transforming it into his own spiritual power, steadily breaking through the barrier of the mid-level black iron.

Practice for one week, practice for two weeks...

The spiritual energy circulated faster and faster, and the spiritual power in the body became more and more abundant. The meridians were stretched and swollen, with a faint stinging pain.

After an unknown amount of time, a soft "humming" sound came from Lin Mo's body.

The barrier of the mid-level black iron was successfully broken through, and abundant spiritual power instantly swept through the entire body, greatly increasing the strength of the physical body.

Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. Feeling the surging power within his body, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Mid-tier Black Iron Card Maker, done!
