Chapter 263 Deep Purple Card "Ancient Dragon Lord"

When Wang Xi returned to Villa No. 27, Chu Yichen and the other two had not yet returned.

They probably went out for a meal together.

Earlier, on the return journey aboard the Giant Silver Shuttle, Feng Lingyun had invited Wang Xi, but Wang Xi politely declined.

The villa is quite quiet right now.

Wang Xi first took a hot shower, and then, bathed in the evening twilight, sat cross-legged on the balcony to meditate and regulate his breathing.

After a while.

The sun and the purple moon set together.

It's getting dark.

Wang Xi finally recovered some of his magical power and was no longer so weak, so he began to combine the cards.

Just to be on the safe side, he first tried to pop the concepts of "divine phantom," "divine descent," and "dragon's breath" into the cracks of his mind.

As it turned out, his guess was correct.

The three cards were highly compatible and did not cause any rejection reaction.

However, because the first two cards were not yet maxed out to "Premium", the system indicated that they could not be combined.

'feasible!'

Wang Xi looked excited.

'Caus, level up!'

"500 experience points consumed (7721 remaining)"

"The card has been upgraded!"

"Divine Illusion (Skill Card/Dark Blue Two-Star/Upgradeable): 0/600"

'Max it out directly.'

Wang Xi confirmed the instructions again.

"2100 experience points consumed (5621 remaining)"

"The card has been upgraded!"

"Divine Illusion (Skill Card/Deep Blue Five-Star/Premium/Unupgradeable)"

After you fill this card, the enhancement branch options will naturally pop up.

The three marks have the following effects: increasing the hardness of the dragon wing phantom, granting it the ability to generate "gusts of wind" for ranged attacks, and increasing the attack range of the dragon tail phantom.

'All three branches are pretty average.'

Wang Xi sighed inwardly.

He directly chose the first option, "Dragon's Blessing," to further enhance his defensive capabilities.

It's better than nothing.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xi continued to issue instructions, ordering Caius to upgrade the star rating of "God Descends to Earth".

"2600 experience points consumed (3021 remaining)"

"The card has been upgraded!"

"God Descends (Skill Card/Deep Blue Five-Star/Premium/Unupgradeable)"

This card has three enhancement branches: extending the duration, further increasing the amplification effect by 15%, and granting powerful self-healing ability during its activation.

It's pretty average.

Wang Xi shook his head.

He was slightly disappointed and finally chose the third option, "The Gods Are Immortal".

In gaming terms, "tankiness" depends on four dimensions: resistance, health, shields, and regeneration.

Enhancing self-healing abilities is also a way to improve survival rates.

In Wang Xi's handbook, everything revolves around "self-preservation." Injury equals danger, and danger equals death.

will die?

That would definitely be a lack of solid performance.

That's why he spared no effort in imprinting himself with the marks of survival, making his foundation rock hard—so hard that even Death himself would gasp and beg for mercy.

'Caius, synthesize.'

Wang Xi said inwardly.

His three Prestige Blue cards, "Divine Body Illusion," "Avatar," and "Dragon's Breath," disappeared and were absorbed into the gaps in his mind.

This time, they were no longer ejected, but instead swirled and intertwined in the mist.

Finally, they merged into one.

hum-

The deep blue halo quickly turned into a purple hue.

A brand new purple card appeared in front of Wang Xi.

"Dragon God's True Body (Skill Card/Epic/Purple 1-Star/Upgradeable): 0/600"

This card inherits and optimizes the abilities of three old cards, and is given an aura effect called "Dragon's Might," which will deter enemies within a 100-meter radius when activated.

If the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, they will fall into a state of "panic," their strength will be greatly reduced, and they will lose all will to fight.

'Now that I have all three purple cards, the main event is about to begin—upgrading "Dragon God's True Body" to its maximum level, and then combining it with "Crown of the End" and "Childlike Sword."'

A thought flashed through Wang Xi's mind, and he began practicing his exercises.

He gave Caius another order.

"3000 experience points consumed (21 remaining)"

"The card has been upgraded!"

"Dragon God's True Body (Skill Card/Epic/Purple 5-Star/Premium/Unupgradeable)"

'My experience level is just right.'

Wang Xi smiled.

'I almost couldn't max it out in one go.'

A prompt to enhance the branch then pops up.

Wang Xi looked at it carefully, and finally his eyes lit up.

He chose the brand called "True Dragon Scales".

This branding effect, while active, imbues the skin with a layer of golden energy scales, providing all-around protection against physical attacks, elemental magic, energy attacks, and curses.

With Wang Xi's permanent function card "Dragon Scale Resistance", if he says he is a real dragon, Cha Bo probably can't find fault with him, and might even have to call him grandpa.

'Caus, secondary synthesis!'

Wang Xi took a deep breath.

This is his first time synthesizing a deep purple card. I wonder what he will get in the end?
My heart is filled with anticipation.

Three Prestige Purple Cards disappeared from my hand.

In the fog of my mind, three clusters of purple light converged.

Within the vortex, a deep purple light bloomed.

hum-

"Ancient Dragon Lord (Skill Card)"

"Quality: Deep Purple One Star (Elegant/Upgradeable)"

"The ultimate crown of the ancient dragon's offspring, a mortal's wild fantasy of usurping the divine realm."

In the gaps between ashes and time, legend has it that there once was a race of immortals who wore scales as armor and breath as blades, their names long since vanished in the embers of Ragnarok.

This card alone bears witness to the rebellion of the last "usurper".

At that time, the blasphemous man cut out the ice and fire from the dragon god's eyes and forged them into a crown; he broke the bones of his playful offspring and tempered them into a sword; and he used the blood of millions of dragon descendants as a sacrifice to forge a true body.

Now that the three have come together, they have become a taboo—

That was not a monument to Gu Long, but a declaration of mortals killing immortals.

"Dragonborn? No, that's something far more terrifying... It devoured the gods, yet it still mimics their mannerisms."

—The last words of someone who witnessed God's coming were inscribed at the bottom of the throne.

"Upon use, you will temporarily become the 'Ancient Dragon Lord,' gaining control over powers such as ice and fire, dragon power, dragon's might, ancient dragon breath, and the Sword of Illusion. (Note: This card consumes a huge amount of mana, and your body will undergo an energy infusion; prolonged use could be fatal!)"

"Ancient Dragon Lord..."

Wang Xi held the new card with a face full of joy.

The card depicts a figure seated on a dragon bone throne, wearing a burning crown and armor, with an ancient wooden sword leaning against one of the armrests.

Its appearance was unclear, yet it exuded an imposing aura.

The reverse side of the card features a deep purple, crystalline, radial pattern, giving it a sophisticated feel.

Wang Xi flicked his finger.

Ding!
The card rang out with a clear, ringing sound, and the king's image on the card was engulfed in golden flames. Faintly, one could also hear the wails of countless dragons and humans.

Wang Xi immediately put it into use.

The card disappeared.

A golden glint flashed in his eyes, and flames erupted from his body, causing his hair to stand on end.

boom! !

At this moment, Wang Xi's demeanor was completely different.

It became solemn and dignified.

He had a strong intuition—

In his "Ancient Dragon Master" state, even if Mr. Gu Cheng Tai Yu · Ming Tan Ke attacked him with all his might, he would be completely unharmed in the end.

Even exhaustion could kill Gu Li.

If his opponent were Gamir from level 50 of the "Arena," he would be absolutely confident that he could finish the battle within three minutes without using the "Dragon Dance."

Wang Xi has become stronger once again!

But soon he removed the blessing from "Ancient Dragon True Lord" and returned to normal.

His face was pale and his forehead was sweating.

In just a few seconds, the little magic power that was left was burned away.

'This card really consumes a lot of resources!'

Wang Xi was secretly shocked.

'The "Winter Meditation Technique" provided me with far too little magic power to sustain the "Ancient Dragon Lord's" consumption. If I hadn't been in the fairytale wonderland, eating the Insect Sage's "Magic Fruit" and drinking the Red Queen's "Gem Tea," I probably wouldn't even have been able to activate it...'

'As expected, higher-quality skill cards require corresponding cultivation technique cards to support them.'

Thinking of this, Wang Xi fell into a "happy dilemma".

In his fairy tale-themed card deck, the quality of his skill cards is somewhat outdated...

Just as Wang Xi was pondering where to get a higher-quality fairy tale skill card, his phone suddenly vibrated.

Doodle.

He picked it up and saw that it was a text message from Bai Qimeng:
"Dude, you really beat all 50 levels?!" Wang Xi raised an eyebrow.

Bai Qimeng learned the result not long after the group training ended.

It seems that the Shining Consortium does indeed wield considerable power.

Wang Xi lightly touched the screen and typed a reply:

"is it hard?"

"?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a question mark appeared.

"I accept this."

Wang Xi smiled and continued typing: "Miss Qimeng, let's put aside whether you agree or not for now... What about the contract?"

"How can someone with a mouth that's 37 degrees Celsius say such cold words? Waaah."

Bai Qimeng sent a message.

“I came here to congratulate you, but all you can think about is the contract, Hagiish, you bastard…”

"Since it's a congratulatory occasion, aren't you going to invite me to dinner?"

“Please!” Bai Qimeng replied. “It’s perfect time to discuss the contract with you, okay?”

Then, she sent a location.

It is a high-end restaurant in the city center of Longcheng.

Wang Xi typed: "I'll be there soon."

He got out of bed to change his clothes, then picked up his phone and added, "By the way, you can order first, I'm a little hungry."

On the other side, Bai Qimeng, sitting in a red luxury supercar, snorted and muttered under her breath, "Eat, eat, eat! All you know is eating! Why don't you eat me too?"

A blue-haired woman who looked like a senior executive, sitting in the driver's seat, looked surprised and looked up at Bai Qimeng in the rearview mirror.

"Sister Qin, go to 'Qingyuan Pavilion'."

Bai Qimeng tossed her phone aside and said listlessly to the row in front.

"Didn't you want to meet that guy too? We can go together."

"Okay, sure." Qin Qiuyin nodded with a smile.

...

...

Around 7:30 pm.

Wang Xi parked his "Phantom White Jade" downstairs at a high-end restaurant called "Qingyuan Pavilion".

After he gave Bai Qimeng's name, he was led by the receptionist to a VIP box on the seventeenth floor.

Upon entering, one sees a table laden with sumptuous dishes, and Bai Qimeng and Qin Qiuyin sitting at the table.

"You're here." Miss Bai crossed her legs and pointed to the side. "Sit down."

Wang Xi smiled and sat down, then looked at the woman with short blue hair and politely asked, "And who is this?"

"Qin Qiuyin, head of the Dragon City headquarters of the Shining Consortium."

The woman stood up and gracefully extended her hand.

"I will fully cooperate with Director Bai and work with Mr. Wang."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Ms. Qin."

Wang Xi reached out and shook hands with him briefly.

Then, everyone ate and chatted.

"I specially ordered these dishes according to your taste... and I even brought Sister Qin, the CEO, along. Isn't that generous enough?"

Bai Qimeng took a sip of red wine and hummed.

"That's enough," Wang Xi said with a laugh. "We're all brothers."

As he spoke, he took out four dark blue cards and casually slapped them on the table.

Snapped.

These are the "Chimera (Juvenile/Follower Card)", "Golden Scepter (Equipment Card)", "Rotting Corpse Explosion (Skill Card)" obtained from the "Arena" trial, and the "Azure Wish (Item Card)" that has been idle for a long time.

These four deep blue cards instantly caught the attention of Bai Qimeng and Qin Qiuyin.

"This is my sincerity," Wang Xi said casually, continuing to eat his rice. "I wonder if that's enough?"

According to the original contract signed with Bai Qimeng, the Shining Consortium has the "right of first refusal" to purchase the wild cards and resources that Wang Xi obtains in the disaster area and the maze.

But there aren’t actually any very strict restrictions.

Wang Xi could easily find someone else to do the deal privately.

His move was a demonstration of his sincerity.

Bai Qimeng and Qin Qiuyin were not stupid; they could naturally see through it.

"Four Deep Blue Cards?" Qin Qiuyin, though over forty, was well-maintained, and a look of surprise appeared on her exquisitely made-up face. "These are all rewards Mr. Wang received from the 'Arena'?"

"Mm." Wang Xi nodded and continued eating.

"You lied."

Experience Points +1

He ignored the hint and said again:
"Ms. Qin can examine these four cards. Although they are not the rarest cultivation technique cards, they all have unique features."

Qin Qiuyin's expression turned serious, as if he had entered a working state.

She nodded, took out a small monitoring device from her bag, and scanned the four dark blue cards on the table.

drip.

Upon seeing the basic information displayed on the screen, a look of surprise flashed in Qin Qiuyin's eyes.

Just as the other party said, these four cards are all top-quality, not just some cheap imitations.

She immediately exchanged a glance with Bai Qimeng.

"Hey, this is a Deep Blue Card, aren't you going to keep it for yourself?"

Bai Qimeng frowned.

"According to the contract, once you pass 50 levels, we will give you a monthly quota of 100 million magic stones... Actually, it doesn't matter if you withdraw a portion for your own use, we won't be short of money."

"Ahem." Qin Qiuyin coughed slightly.

Bai Qimeng's blatant disregard for outsiders in front of her, the person in charge, left her feeling rather helpless.

Wang Xi naturally realized that Bai Qimeng was thinking of him, so he explained in a calm tone, "These cards don't quite fit my deck, and I also feel that I need to show you some sincerity."

He looked at Qin Qiuyin: "What do you think, Ms. Qin?"

"We have received Mr. Wang's sincerity."

Qin Qiuyin nodded solemnly.

Deep Blue cards aren't commonplace items, let alone rare, limited-edition ones. It's safe to say this is the highest quality card available on the market.

It's practically in a state of having a market but no price.

Wang Xin's ability to give four cards to the Shining Group at once shows that he is very happy with this cooperation.

"Hmm..." Qin Qiuyin pondered for a moment. "On behalf of the consortium, I am willing to acquire these four cards for 800 million each. What does Mr. Wang think?"

The price of a regular Deep Blue Card is around 500 million, with the exception of Cultivation Technique Cards, which can exceed 1000 million.

Wang Xi was satisfied with the acquisition price offered by Qin Qiuyin, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

"So, this is the outstanding payment of 3200 million."

Qin Qiuyin continued.

"As per the contract, you have passed 50 trials in the 'Arena,' and we will provide you with a monthly quota of 1 million credits for magic stones... Of course, if Mr. Wang has an urgent need, a portion of these quotas can be withdrawn for your free use."

"A portion, how much?"

Wang Xi asked tentatively.

Qin Qiuyin glanced at Bai Qimeng, who gave a cute smile, seemingly hinting at something.

Given Wang Xi's excellence and his relationship with Bai Qimeng, Qin Qiuyin sighed inwardly, silently changed his original plan, and smiled:
"20%, which is 2000 million..."

This 20 million was not included in the contract.

It was practically free money given to Wang Xi.

It's equivalent to a "kickback" used to maintain the relationship.

"It is a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Wang Xi said with satisfaction.

“I happen to need some money, this 2000 million…”

"Mr. Wang, please rest assured that, including the 3200 million for purchasing these four Deep Blue Cards, the total of 5200 million will be transferred to your personal account within 24 hours."

Qin Qiuyin said earnestly.

"In addition, according to the contract, we will also give you a purple card. However, purple cards are too precious, and even the headquarters inventory does not have them. They need to be exchanged through specific channels... But please rest assured, we will present the purple card to you within a month."

"Okay." Wang Xi nodded.

After finishing their business, the three chatted casually while eating.

Overall, Wang Xi was quite satisfied with this.

Finally, he suddenly said to Qin Qiuyin:
"By the way, I'd like to use the remaining 8000 million magic stones to buy some native white cards from within the Shining Consortium. I wonder if that's possible?"

"Huh?" Qin Qiuyin was taken aback.

The Shining Consortium does have a dedicated channel for acquiring native white cards, but those cards need to be melted down into raw materials and made into artificial cards... This involves trade secrets and related patented technologies.

For most people, having a lot of basic credit cards is useless.

She didn't know Wang Xi's intentions, but wisely didn't press him for details, simply saying:

"Of course, but artificial wild cards are also a major source of profit for the Shining Consortium. Since they involve raw materials, we can't give too much to Mr. Wang, otherwise it will affect production and operations."

"Moreover, prices are high in Longcheng, and acquisition costs are also high, so each original white card will be sold to Mr. Wang for at least 2 credit points."

Wang Xi thought for a moment and said, "No problem, let's do it this way. All 8000 million shares will be converted into your internal native white cards. Convert as many as you can."

In this way, he can continuously gain experience points from the Shining Consortium.

Whether "Ancient Dragon Master" can be upgraded to the highest level in a short period of time depends on how efficient the other party is.

...

...

the next day.

Wang Xi went to teach at the Black Spade Academy lecture hall as usual.

But they ran into Dean Rosa at the entrance.

"Wang Xi, come with me."

Rosa smiled and nodded, then spoke solemnly.

"Principal Zhang personally went to 'Weitai' and applied for an amazing purple card for you. And I also have a gift for you."
