Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 117 [The Jade Venerable Statue of Qingyang (Red)]

Oh, and there are also a few books left behind by that pseudo-imperial advisor Zou Yanhong, which contain quite a few methods.

Although it's not like playing cards where you can just tap and play, you can still learn from it and keep a few tricks up your sleeve!
Chen Xiuxian had appraised the scroll; it was called "The Scripture of the Dragon's Metamorphosis and Rebirth," a fourth-tier red-quality, evil cultivation technique that could transform a person into a strange insect.

It is likely because the pseudo-imperial advisor Zou Yanhong possessed a method of refining form through the Yin energy, but he felt that the risks were too great.

After encountering the "Touching Dragon God's Metamorphosis and Rebirth Scripture," he thought of combining the two and trying to take a chance to transform into an alien being and be reborn from the dead.

As a result, they encountered a kidnapping.
Chen Xiuxian dared not practice this.

Unless one's lifespan is nearing its end and there's no hope left, who would give up being a normal human to become an insect?
And that alchemy furnace!

【Gui Water Refining Furnace (Blue)】, Tier 3 Rare Item: Alchemy Furnace.

This enormous alchemy furnace is different from ordinary alchemy furnaces; it is a water-based alchemy furnace.

—They are usually made by fire.

That pseudo-emperor, Zou Yanhong, must have been a skilled alchemist. In his notes, he wrote extensively about the pills he had refined, which he presented to the pseudo-emperor who was not yet the pseudo-emperor, and how he gained his trust and respect.

Seven elixir formulas remain: two green, four blue, and one red!
Although they are all good things, very useful pills, Chen Xiuxian doesn't know how to refine pills.

So he made three copies, one for the General's Mansion and one for the City God Temple.

How you use it is your own business.

Both families should have no shortage of alchemists.

However, the red-quality 4th-tier pill formula [Three Yang Soul-Stabilizing Pill (Red)] is for treating soul damage and can also be given to ghosts—the body may die, but the spirit remains; the soul is resolute and becomes a heroic ghost.

However, even the preparation of just eighteen ingredients was beyond Chen Xiuxian's comprehension, and ordinary alchemists were not qualified to attempt it.

For the next two days, Chen Xiuxian and his men were busy "transporting goods" and "dividing the spoils".

The armor and weapons left behind by the false emperor were all of the highest quality.

Especially the weapons collected by the false emperor, there are eight blue-quality weapons alone, and even a red-quality [Rain of Pear Blossoms Spear (Red)].

It is said to be a relic inherited by Yang Zaixing, known as "Invincible Yang," who served under Lord Yue during the resurgence of the Great Shun Dynasty more than 300 years ago.

Even the General of Liaodong wouldn't dare to keep this for himself; it would most likely have to be sent to the capital for the Emperor to decide.

These also need to be priced, right?
The General's Mansion is also in dire need of other gold, silver and jewelry!
Isn't this the start of a war?

Those wild boar-men are making strange moves even in the dead of winter. After three months, when the weather warms up and the land thaws, they will definitely make a big move.

The military pay was already insufficient, and money was needed everywhere!

At the City God Temple, these mundane things are of little significance to them. The General's Office has already discussed with them that there will be several grand sacrificial ceremonies in the future, and they will fully support the City God in taking control of the Liaodong underworld.

Therefore, the share of the profits from the City God Temple has been greatly reduced.

But Chen Xiuxian's share cannot be omitted!
However, the General's mansion also has capable people. It is said that the General's strategist came up with a plan after learning about Chen Xiuxian's past.

Didn't Chen Xiuxian spend all the rewards from the General's Mansion on exchanging them for all sorts of strange and unusual materials that he couldn't use in the General's Mansion's treasury?
That's perfect. The General's Mansion has accumulated a century's worth of rare and unusual items, filling dozens of warehouses.

Take it! Take as much as you want!
Use profit sharing as collateral!
Originally, there should have been at least 200,000 taels of silver in cash dividends, but now only 10,000 taels are left for pocket money.

—In fact, Chen Xiuxian, Cao Bianjiao, and Li Rusong, who were present at the time, had already tacitly divided 10 taels!
The reported numbers have already been distributed.
After all, they are frontline workers who endure hardship and fatigue. What's wrong with taking a little something?
If the cook doesn't steal, the grains won't be harvested.
Another ten thousand taels were given to Wu Shixian and Wang Yuan, which was considered normal "fire loss returned to the public" and "lost".

Cao Bianjiao was overjoyed: "My military pay has been smuggled out for almost ten years. I never thought I would lose it all one day!"
Because the General's Mansion opened its treasury to offset Chen Xiuxian's share of the cash, Chen Xiuxian simply pushed the cart inside!

That guy picked it!
I found a lot of materials that I might need later here.

This saves you the trouble of going to auction houses and searching for treasures.

This saves a lot of spirit stones that would otherwise be spent on buying cards.

Therefore, Chen Xiuxian temporarily kept high-value cards like the [Dragon Egg (Red)], not wanting to rush to sell good stuff!

As for the remaining cards, Chen Xiuxian dismantled a bunch of them and then began to fuse them!
……

Chen Xiuxian has accumulated quite a few cards, especially after this wave of exterminating evil spirits at Wulong Mountain, which yielded considerable gains.

However, Chen Xiuxian, like a squirrel, has a hoarding habit due to a lack of security.

This results in having many options at hand, but actually not being able to use them all! While having more trump cards is good, accumulating too many is not a good thing, as the cost-effectiveness is too low.

If you can advance to a higher rank, it will be of great help in future battles.

Therefore, it's time to declutter and let go of some things.

For example:
The core of the deck is the summon card [Wrathful Vajra Statue (Blue)], plus [Vajra Subduing Demon Skill (Green)], [Vajra Hand (Green)], and [Six Treasures Zen Staff (Blue)] obtained from defeating the Four Guardians of the Way of Fate.

In addition, there are 3 [Vajra Talismans (Green)], plus the [Jade Emperor's Heart Response Sutra (Red)] obtained from eliminating the Path of Fate!
Fusion!

After a burst of brilliant light, the card fusion was complete.

"Ding~ 650 Magic Dust consumed, card fusion successful, obtained [Azure Sun Jade Venerable Statue (Red)]".

【Qingyang Jade Zun Statue (Red)】

Tier 4 Summoning Card
The Qingyang Jade Buddha statue is said to be carved according to the Maitreya Buddha statue with a heavenly crown in the "Maitreya's Descent Sutra". Its appearance is solemn and serene.

Use: Summons a magically conjured image of the Azure Sun Jade Venerable to fight for you for 30 minutes, or until it is destroyed.

The Azure Sun Jade Venerable statue, formed by the power of magic, can change size from one foot to 24 meters.

The Jade Venerable is Immortal (Blue): The Jade Venerable Statue of Qingyang has 150 points of defense, 70 points of magic resistance, an additional 50 points of resistance to evil spells, and a small chance of immunity to Buddhist spells.

The Six Treasures Vajra (blue): Placing the vajra can establish a protective barrier, bringing special effects such as light, purification, wisdom, protection, concentration, and discipline.

The Azure Yang Karmic Fire (blue) engulfs the Azure Yang Jade Venerable statue, burning people, objects, and magical power, causing them to perish.

The Pure Land of Universal Salvation (Blue): At the feet of the Jade Venerable of Qingyang, there is a Pure Land of Universal Salvation with a radius of 50 meters. Living beings that enter this area will be continuously suppressed and influenced.

Assessment: In the past half hour, even a cultivator at the Gang Sha Realm would not be able to gain the slightest advantage over it!
"Damn, that's awesome!" Chen Xiuxian was stunned.

The cost was indeed considerable; I almost used up all the Buddhist-related cards and a large portion of my magic dust. But it was worth it!

Although this Azure Sun Jade Venerable statue doesn't know any magic, and its mobility is far too weak compared to a flying cultivator in the Gang Sha Realm.

But it's incredibly durable and can even create a barrier, making it a tough nut to crack in positional warfare!

And it's huge! 24 meters tall is like seven or eight stories high!

If this thing were released, it would probably influence a medium-sized battle involving tens of thousands of people!
"Keep up the good work! Keep going!"

Chen Xiuxian rubbed his hands together, intending to use up the remaining cards and magic dust.

For example: [Troop Deployment Order - Black Wind Stronghold (Blue)] + [Martial Arts Prodigy (Blue)] + [Naturally Strong Bones and Muscles (Blue)] + [A Stream of Spiritual Light Spews Out from the Top of the Head (Green)] + [Terrifying Wolf Howl (Blue)].

"Ding~ 430 Magic Dust consumed, card fusion successful, obtained [Black Wind Stronghold Bandits (Blue)]".

Black Wind Stronghold Bandits (Blue)

Tier 3 Summoning Card
The Black Wind Stronghold bandits are a group of clever and resourceful martial arts prodigies with exceptionally strong physiques.

Use: Summons a squad of Blackwind Stronghold bandits to assist in battle, including a level 25 leader of Blackwind Stronghold, four level 15 elite subordinates, and twenty level 7 Blackwind bandits with external martial arts training. Lasts 30 minutes.

Horizontal Training (Green): Black Wind Stronghold Bandit Defense +8
Martial Arts Prodigy (Green): Black Wind Stronghold bandits' martial arts level +3
Clean up the battlefield (green): If the Black Wind Stronghold bandits can stay until the end of the battle, they can loot more spoils.

Terror Howl (Blue): The leader of Black Wind Stronghold, who is in charge of the team, has mastered the spell Terror Howl.

Review: Robbery? We're professionals!

None of the four blue cards were upgraded to red cards this time, what a loss!

Fortunately, the limit of 3 uses is gone, which is good news.

Chen Xiuxian checked his inventory and found he still had over 500 magic dust left. He decided to dismantle two low-priced cards he had bought from the auction house. They were not very useful, but they were Tier 3 blue cards.

I've collected over 600 Magic Dust.

Then continue the fusion!

Newly acquired: [Tentaur Box (Red)] + [Tentaur Egg (Red)]!
Two Tier 4 red cards!
The biggest investment to date!
Chen Xiuxian clapped his hands: "System, merge with me!"
