Chapter 272 Deep Purple Card "A Bountiful and Joyful Year in the Human World"

Wang Xi returned to the main world.

He opened his eyes, rubbed his slightly throbbing temples, and focused his attention on the "Seclusion Preview".

'...A woman who looks exactly like Shen Miaowei? Who could she be?'

Wang Xi couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Soon, he thought of a possibility.

In every previous calculation, the result was that after Shen Miaowei's unexpected death, he would also die.

They died in the sudden flood.

Perhaps his death was related to this woman... or even that this woman killed him.

'Hmm...it's impossible to determine whether they are friend or foe at the moment.'

Wang Xi pondered.

We must continue to improve our strength, remaining steadfast in the face of any change.

With that in mind, he immediately gave the order to Chaos to begin drawing cards.

This descent into the Mystic Realm has yielded considerable rewards, with a total of 40 colored cards from multiple card pools including Winter Gate, Ink Sword Pavilion, Yang Beast, and Ice Barbarian.

"Consume 4000 energy points (44660 remaining)"

All 40 cards were drawn at once.

Various wild cards floated in front of Wang Xi, who immediately used his primordial spirit to scan and investigate them.

First, there are 23 dark green and regular green cards originating from the disciples of the Winter Gate and the otherworldly beast Bingyi.

"They're all basic sword skill cards and various flying sword and magical artifact equipment cards... not very useful to me."

Wang Xi shook his head.

As for Bingyi's deep green card, it is a permanent function card called "Eating Winter Qi". After use, it allows one to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during the winter season to strengthen one's physique.

It shares a similar theme with the "Photosynthesis" image, but is clearly more sophisticated.

Wang Xi left behind this "Eating Winter Qi" (a type of traditional Chinese medicine).

Since the wild cards in the Winter Gate disciple card pool are very similar and quite compatible, he picked and chose from them to combine a blue sword technique "Great Cold Sword Intent (Skill Card)" and a blue magic weapon "Flying Snow Sword (Equipment Card)".

The rest were all thrown to Chaos to be crushed into experience points.

"The card has been destroyed!"

"Gained 1350 experience points (1372 remaining)"

Wang Xi then looked at the 15 deep blue cards drawn from the card pool of Elder Dongmen and the Mojianzhai Kung Fu Pavilion.

The seven deep blue cards from the elders of the Winter Gate are also mainly about swordsmanship. Wang Xi himself possesses "Myriad Manifestations of the Forest," which includes the swordsmanship "Blood Sea Sword," so he looks down on them somewhat.

The eight deep blue skill cards from the Mojianzhai Skill Pavilion are quite good, belonging to various paths such as painting, tailoring, and sacrificial arts.

Based on their information, Wang Xi matched them one by one, then stored them in the gaps of his mind for synthesis testing.

Ultimately, he selected five deep blue cards with high compatibility to keep—

These are "Divine Strike", "Soul-Burning Hand Seal", "Drum and Gong Parade", "Secret Techniques of Skin Sewing" and "The Art of Picking Greens".

The remaining ten Dark Blue cards will be kept for now.

Deep blue quality wild cards are already rare items to be seen on the main world market. Wang Xi could sell them at a higher price, do a favor for the Shining Consortium, or use them as bargaining chips to exchange resources.

At present, Wang Xi is not short of money, and the Deep Blue Card can serve as hard currency in the "upper circle".

Similar to "Primordial Ether".

“This card…” Wang Xi reached out and picked up the deep blue card from the Tsutsumi Beast, raising an eyebrow slightly. “Interesting.”

This card is named "Hope you're well".

It is a rather special skill card.

After use, it will summon a phantom of a sick beast that opens its mouth to absorb "sickness" and "filth," thereby removing the target's illness.

In some ways, it is similar to the "Spring Breeze and Rain Technique." However, one removes disease, while the other heals injury.

When used together, they can produce remarkable results.

Wang Xi carefully preserved it.

The last purple card was obtained by Tu Yu, the leader of the Winter Gate. Its name is "Fishing Alone in the Snowy River," and it is a skill card.

At that time, above the "Hidden Snow Lake" in Beichuan Blessed Land, Tu Yu fought fiercely with Wang Xi, who had activated the "Ancient Dragon True Lord" state, and finally used this move in a desperate attempt.

The world changed color, and heavy snow fell.

A sword's cold light illuminated the northern river, its momentum immense.

Although it failed to injure Wang Xi, it successfully broke through his first three layers of protection: "Ice Heart Shield," "Ice Coffin," and "Ink Heaven Seal."

Fortunately.

Wang Xi also has four layers of protection: "Copper Head and Iron Tail", "Dragon Scale Resistance", "Dragon Blessing" and "True Dragon Scale Armor".

I almost broke through their defenses and suffered minor injuries.

This really gave Wang Xi a big fright.

Of course, Tu Yu was even more terrified; he almost lost his Dao heart and committed suicide on the spot.

He has devoted himself to cultivation for over a hundred years, carrying his sword on his back and sleeping with it in his arms. He has attained enlightenment through the way of the sword and is only one step away from ascension.

But they didn't even manage to cut off a single hair on Wang Xi's head...

Tu Yu never understood why his sword was so dull until his death.

Even so, it cannot be denied that "Fishing Alone in the Snowy River" is Tu Yu's trump card skill, which has its unique features and can be regarded as a good purple sword technique.

Wang Xi simply doesn't want to use it.

...

...

Time turns.

the next day.

Wang Xizhao attended classes at Kunwu Camp as usual.

During lunch, he suddenly received a text message from Bai Qimeng:
"Handsome Wang, the funds have been transferred to your personal account. You should receive a notification soon... As for the batch of native white cards you requested, Sister Qin went to great lengths to secure the maximum amount within the conglomerate, nearly 4000 cards."

"But if you still need them next month, the quantity won't be as large, since most of these cards are taken from the inventory."

Wang Xi was overjoyed when he saw the message.

4000 white cards, which is roughly equivalent to 6 experience points, is enough for him to upgrade and synthesize a batch of cards.

Our strength will leap forward once again!

He tapped the screen with his finger and typed a reply:
"Thanks, Qimeng."

"What kind of relationship do we have? Why are you being so polite? (Rolls eyes)"

Bai Qimeng sent another message.

"By the way, the consortium has already found the purple card that was promised to you in the contract through secret channels... Sister Qin is currently following up on it, and if all goes well, you should be able to get it in the next few days."

"Let's set a time, and I'll hand it over to you in person."

Wang Xi smiled and replied, "Okay."

Sure enough, before the class was even over, he received another text message notifying him of a deposit. The balance in his personal account had become "5500 million".

The series of numbers did not cause Wang Xi much emotional fluctuation.

He's no longer interested in money.

As his strength and status increased, Wang Xi realized more and more that in the main world, credits could never buy high-quality cards and resources.

at dusk.

That concludes today's theory class.

Wang Xi drove his supercar hovercar "Phantom White Jade" to the city center of Longcheng and met Qin Qiuyin at a coffee shop.

The head of the Shining Consortium in Longcheng remained as intellectual and elegant as ever. After a brief chat, he took out a fake white card, a "folding suitcase," from his high-end handbag and handed it to Wang Xi.

"Mr. Wang, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

Qin Qiuyin smiled.

"This contains the original white card you specified. On behalf of the consortium, I look forward to your future performance in the Kunwu Camp... and I also hope that your personal strength will continue to grow, making you a powerful figure in the Shan Hai Federation."

"Thank you for your kind words," Wang Xi replied with a smile.

...

...

That night.

Wang Xi sat at the bedroom table, emptying the original white cards from the "folding suitcase" and piling them on the table. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he confirmed the exact number.

A total of 3967.

Without hesitation, Wang Xi tossed them all into the cracks of his mind and handed them over to Caius to crush.

"The card has been destroyed!"

"Gained 59505 experience points (60877 remaining)"

As Wang Xi expected, these native white cards provided him with nearly 6 experience points.

A prompt appears when you access your mental resource library:
Energy: 44660

Experience: 60877

“Very good.” Wang Xi’s lips curled into a smile.

The next step is to strategically upgrade and synthesize the cards in your deck.

'Caus, upgrade "The Path to Eternal Slumber" first.'

This card is a fairy tale system cultivation card that Dean Rosa once used; it's of purple quality.

If Wang Xi wants to make "Ancient Dragon True Lord" more resilient and enduring, he must fill this karaoke box to the brim.

"4000 experience points consumed (56877 remaining)"

"The card has been upgraded!"

"The Path to Eternal Slumber (Skill Card/Purple Six-Star/Epic/Premium/Cannot Be Upgraded)"

A purple light flashed around Wang Xi.

He felt that the magic power within him had nearly doubled, and at the same time, his control over magic power was stronger and his consumption was less.

The overall system has been optimized.

This is followed by enhanced branch hints:

Please choose one of the following three enhancements.

"Option 1 - Sea of ​​Slumber: Greatly increases the maximum amount of magic power (50%). Magic Soil exhibits deep dormancy characteristics in a meditative state, with its density and stability far exceeding those of ordinary soil."

"Option Two - Spindle Essence: Magic control precision and efficiency reach an unbelievable level. When casting any spell, magic waste is greatly reduced (50%), resulting in a qualitative leap in utilization."

"Option 3 - Sleepwalkers: They can meditate on their own during sleep, with magic recovery speed at half (50%) of normal meditation. At the same time, they can still easily control their bodies and move freely, possessing a unique 'sleepwalking protection' property, which provides extremely strong resistance to external interference (such as magic devouring, anti-magic fields, mental shock, etc.)."

'Open source, cost-cutting, and non-disengagement recovery.'

Wang Xi immediately saw through the essence of the three marks and fell into deep thought.

Whichever you choose, it will have an excellent effect on "Ancient Dragon True Lord".

But after thinking about it, he realized that the Mysterious System Technique Card "Wandering in the Mind" had a unique characteristic: the power of the primordial spirit.

This gives him an extremely strong sense of perception of the outside world and control over his body—completely compensating for the drawbacks of "sleepwalking patients"!

He can sleep and regenerate mana during battle without affecting his combat performance, achieving the effect of a "pseudo-perpetual motion machine".

'The mystical and fairytale-themed systems have gradually formed a virtuous cycle, leading to increasingly sophisticated deck building.'

Wang Xi smiled.

He immediately chose the third option.

—A sleepwalker!
Wow!
In my mind, a sleepwalking figure shrouded in mist slowly emerged, forming an iron-gray mark.

The thirty-fourth brand is complete!

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xi gave the order for Caius to upgrade the star level of the main battle card "Ancient Dragon Lord" in the Fairy Tale system.

"5690 experience points consumed (51187 remaining)"

"The card has been upgraded!"

"Ancient Dragon Lord (Skill Card/Magnificent Chapter/Deep Purple Seven Stars/Ultimate/Unupgradeable)"

"The potential ceiling of 'Ancient Dragon Master' is truly high, reaching the seven-star level."

Wang Xi was quite surprised.

After filling the main battle card, he held it in his hand again and found that the deep purple aura was even more dazzling.

After activating it and experiencing it carefully, he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

The overall effect improved by 105% to 115%, more than doubling! But the consumption actually decreased!

All I can say is that it's a seven-star deep purple card...

Horror!
Wang Xi almost gasped.

Please choose one of the following three enhancements.

"Option 1 - Ancient Dragon's Might: Greatly enhances deterrence effect, can force the target into a stunned state (affected by priority), and weaken their strength (15%)."

"Option 2 - God's Invincibility: Allows the cardholder to briefly enter a 'super armor' state, continuously immune to control effects below epic level (purple five-star)."

"Option 3 - Dragonborn Domination: Summons two "Dragonborn Guards" (inheriting 30% of the cardholder's strength), who possess abilities such as dragon breath, armor penetration, and strong shields."

Wang Xi looked at the three brand marks with great surprise.

This was the first time he had ever seen a "summoning" effect in the enhancement branch.

However, after thinking about it, he chose the second option.

"God is invincible!"
This is the noble "Overlord Body". Combined with "One Breath (Imprint)", after Wang Xi activated "Ancient Dragon True Lord", he went straight for the kill. A smooth combo was basically unstoppable by anyone of the same level.

Clang!
In my mind, a golden figure with dragon wings on its back and holding a sword appeared.

The thirty-fifth brand is complete!

Wang Xi took a deep breath: "Continue."

"3000 experience points consumed (48187 remaining)"

"The card has been upgraded!"

"Gui Water Dragon Pearl (Skill Card/Magnificent Chapter/Purple Five-Star/Ultimate/Cannot Be Upgraded)"

This Huazhang-level purple card, which was applied for by Principal Zhang Yinglong from "Weitai", has also been upgraded to the highest level.

The three enhancement branches are rather average.

Wang Xi chose the mark called "Holding the Mandate of Heaven in His Mouth," which greatly reduces casting time and increases magical power by 15%.

The thirty-sixth brand was also completed.

At this point, Wang Xi's initial plan to advance his star level has been completed.

'Alright... now it's time to synthesize!'

Wang Xi's eyes revealed anticipation.

Let's see what kind of deep purple card we can create from these three purple cards: "Myriad Manifestations," "Golden Jade," and "Water Dragon Pearl"!

Of these three wild cards, two belong to the "Epic" tier, which is higher than "Epic".

He couldn't help but wonder if he could create a card even stronger than "Ancient Dragon Lord".

hum-

Three purple cards disappeared from my hand.

In the gaps of his mind, mist swirled, and three clusters of purple light intertwined and circled, growing faster and faster.

Ultimately, they merged into one.

A rich, deep purple light burst forth—

"A Bountiful and Joyful Year (Skill Card)"

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

"In the past, a celestial being came from beyond the heavens. At that time, demonic influences covered the sun, humans and demons were rampant, plagues were rampant, and thousands of miles of fertile lands were turned into dead lands."

The Taoist priest stood atop the city wall, offering a dragon pearl to mend the deficiencies in heaven and earth, and raising a pillar of auspicious clouds to perform a dragon dance.

The dragon's tail swept away famine and disease, and its breath condensed into sweet rain to fertilize the land; with the opening and closing of its eyes, the cold prison collapsed, and all demons turned to ashes; the dragon's roar shook the nine heavens, and where the sword light passed, the black clouds were torn like silk, and a thousand acres of demonic mist turned into snow foam and stardust.

The people of the city all revered the immortals and witnessed their presence.

The dragon circled the city three times, its scales branded with golden talismans, which would instantly dispel plagues and evil spirits. The dragon's claws gently pressed the earth's veins, causing dry wells to gush forth spiritual springs and scorched earth to grow fine crops. The dragon's whiskers brushed against the eaves, causing every household to hang colorful silks and light lamps.

From then on, there was no more suffering from cold and hunger, and the children sang:
"Immortals dance with dragons as the landscape is renewed with ink-black ink. No sorrowful winds or snows are heard; a bountiful year awaits on earth!"

Later generations adopted "Dragon Dance in the Sky" as a festival, and this ceremony was always performed at the end of the year, called "Happy Year and Abundant Harvest," to commemorate the immortals' merit in recreating the mountains and rivers.

This is a wisp of the true essence of the Great Dao left to the Mysterious Realm by Wang Xizhi, the true disciple of the Ink Sword Sect.

"After use, you will fully master the 'Dragon Dance' Dao, able to summon a Xuanlong to fight enemies with unparalleled power. (Note: This card consumes a large amount of mana; it is even better if you have 'Golden Core' level mana.)"

Wang Xi stared at the new card in his hand, slightly taken aback.

"A joyous and prosperous year for humanity..."
