Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 53 Arming the Old Ox, Starting the Cultivation of Immortality!
"Fa Bao!"

With a loud shout, a truck carrying iron ore came hurtling towards them like lightning.

Chaha, the level 17 elite boar-man centurion, had one leg pinned to the ground by a scorpion's tail hook, swollen like a pillar. His arm was being bitten by Mimi, leaving him no time to dodge.

Faced with the oncoming behemoth, the only option is to hold the mace horizontally in front of you and block the [mine cart (green)] head-on!
A tremendous force struck, nearly breaking his arm!
But after being pushed three or four meters, he struggled with the torn muscles in his forearm, suddenly flung Mimi aside and lunged to the side, finally avoiding being crushed by the mine cart.

However, although he dodged the minecart, the level 15 boar shaman a dozen meters behind him suffered terribly and was hit hard!

The staff he was holding, made of various bones, was knocked away, and he fell backward, where he was run over by a minecart.

Then you could hear the cracking sound of bones breaking, like popping beans!

From one, to a puddle~
"Ding~ You have killed a level 15 Boar Shaman..."

Chen Xiuxian watched as Centurion Chaha, blood dripping from his mouth, got up, and shouted again, "Look at the treasure!"

The boar-man centurion, having suffered a great loss, was startled upon hearing this, fearing that a metal cart might suddenly appear and hit him. He ripped off the wooden sign from his waist.

That image is a tiger drawn in blood; it represents the animal god, Tiger God Tarinta, worshipped by the wild boar people.

A surge of blood energy appeared on the boar-man's body, his veins bulged, his muscles swelled, and even his breathing was filled with white vapor!
Now, even if another mining truck comes, he's confident he can stop it!
However, Chen Xiuxian's secret weapon this time was his carefully prepared "super enemy-defeating package"!
It's chili powder mixed with quicklime.
A wisp of red and white smoke hit the face of the boar-man centurion who was trying to carry the minecart.

Suddenly, an indescribable, excruciating pain erupted in my eyes, throat, and nasal cavity.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Xiuxian unleashed a sword strike that landed on his left knee!
With a "whoosh," a small leg flew out!
……

"Ding~ You have completed the mission [Bounty: Boarman (Blue)]..."

"Ding~ You have completed the mission [Bounty: Boar Centurion (Blue)]..."

"Ding~ You have completed the mission [Recapture Sanjiazi Outpost (Blue)]..."

"Ding~ You have completed the mission [Great Wall Defense (Blue)]..."

"Ding~ You have completed the area quest: [The Boarman's Probe (Blue)]..."

……

Just as Chen Xiuxian and his group took advantage of the fierce fighting at the front to sneak into the outpost and kill a boarman centurion and a boarman shaman, the main battle also came to a conclusion—the Liaodong army climbed the simple outpost walls and began to mop up the defeated boarmen.

Soon, the entire outpost was cleared out.

The boar-man's enormous head was piled high on the cart, and the blood that dripped onto the ground froze into blood-red ice shards.

After a short rest, the team headed to the Great Wall, where several hundred more troops arrived as reinforcements, and then they cleared out the gnolls on the Great Wall.

The wild boar people piled up hundreds of kilograms of frozen meat there, which attracted them to live on the beacon towers of the Great Wall.

This aligns with the wild boar people's expectations.

That's truly a case of the nest eating its own droppings!

In just a few days, they've covered the Great Wall with them!
In the dead of winter, there were so many lumps of them that there was nowhere to step!

Once all the gnolls were killed, the regional event ended.

The whole process took a little over three days.

The simple celebration banquet that followed involved slaughtering sheep and pigs, and eating and drinking heartily.

The bounty is still being calculated, but Chen Xiuxian and Lao Niu are the most conspicuous.

Putting everything else aside, just the series of tasks that the Ratman Digger was tasked with digging up the Great Wall, he deserves the greatest credit!

Later, they infiltrated the Sanjiazi outpost and killed one of the only two centurions and a boarman shaman.

The boar-man also surrendered 18 of his left ears...

Unless it's been embezzled by higher-ups, shouldn't they at least offer a proper reward?
Putting aside all external things, just completing the events in this entire area will give you over 8600 experience points!

Several quests gave me over four thousand! Killing monsters gave me over two thousand!

There are thirty or forty white and green cards and three blue cards that have been discovered!
【Double Strike (Blue)】, Tier 3 skill card, consumes stamina or internal energy/true qi to deliver a double strike.

When I strike, not only is the damage 1.5 times greater, but it also inflicts damage twice!
[Ancestral Blessing (Blue)], Tier 3 spell card, activates the ancestral blessing within your bloodline, granting you additional power. Lasts 6 hours/time.

The effect of this blessing varies depending on the race.

As the saying goes, "Like begets like."

If a ratman used this trick, he would probably get a buff like +3 to stealing or +5 to digging.
【Tiger Talisman (Blue)】, Tier 3 item card, can deter monsters, ward off evil spirits and protect the body, and can also release a "tiger roar" to intimidate enemies, once every 12 hours.

Chen Xiuxian obtained this item from the elite boar-man centurion Chaha; he had seen Chaha use it.

Suddenly, a tiger's roar rang out, as if a fierce tiger had pounced down from the sky, which was extremely frightening.

His body almost stiffened at that moment!

Fortunately, he had mastered several internal skills and his true energy was abundant, so he recovered in just one breath.

With plenty of help around me, I didn't suffer any losses.

Overall, the results are good.
In the end, Chen Xiuxian decided to give both [Double Strike (Blue)] and [Ancestral Blessing (Blue)] to Lao Niu!
Old Niu is considered an outstanding young man in the Lao Niu tribe; he has ideas, courage, and his own opinions.

Its level is higher than that of ordinary Cow Clan members, and it also knows three combat techniques. Having fought alongside Chen Xiuxian for several months, its progress has been tremendous; it's now level 19!

However, although his rank was higher than Chen Xiuxian's, his strength was inferior to Chen Xiuxian's.

Chen Xiuxian's combat power far exceeds his own level; otherwise, how could he always kill monsters of a higher level?
These past few months, Old Niu has been risking his life, constantly fighting powerful monsters, and has made great progress.

But he still couldn't keep up with Chen Xiuxian's pace.

Therefore, Chen Xiuxian plans to strengthen the old ox.

I didn't really need these two cards myself, so I gave them to Lao Niu.

He can't always be "stealing equipment," can he?
This card is partly thanks to Old Bull!
In addition, there is another green card that is also suitable for Old Bull [Iron Skin (Green)], a 2nd-tier spell with the passive effect of +5 defense and the active effect of +3 defense for 3 minutes!

Chen Xiuxian placed the three cards on Lao Niu's forehead, and they vanished in an instant.

Then the old ox glared at him, shaking its head as if something was amiss.

"Hey, you know what, you really can't believe it! I can feel it, I can feel it! It's like there's something new in my head, something I've never learned before..." Old Niu looked amazed.

He now has the Mountain Spirit Might Belt and Whirlwind Axe given to him by Chen Xiuxian.
With the abilities granted by these three cards, their combat power can be said to have doubled!
This combination offers excellent value for money!
Chen Xiuxian himself reaped a large amount of experience points during this wave of regional events, which is enough to level up to level 18!

Once he reaches level 18, he will be able to cultivate the "Earth-Wood Path Technique: Qi Refining Chapter"!

With great excitement, Chen Xiuxian equipped the card to his training slot, consuming 670 training points to upgrade it to level 1.

—Starting today, I will officially begin my cultivation journey!
After reaching level 1 of the "Chitu Xingmu Jue: Refining Qi Chapter", the 870 points of true qi in the body will automatically begin to be converted into mana.

After three hours, the final 870 points of true qi were converted into 395 points of mana.

It's alright~
……

Among the large number of cards obtained from this regional event, there is a green card that is quite useful.

Previously, Chen Xiuxian had always wanted to learn how to perform "lightness skill".

With my current high agility, if I had a light-foot technique, the effect would be immediate.

Now, finally, we have it.

【Grasshopper (Green)】

Second-tier cultivation technique

Also known as "Thousand-Mile Legs" or "Flying Legs," it is a common light-body skill in martial arts, specifically designed for practitioners to run and walk quickly.
Total number of floors: 3

Each floor grants +50% movement speed and -20% movement stamina consumption.

At level 3, you gain the "Galloping" effect: +50% movement speed, -20% movement stamina consumption, and -20% terrain effect on movement speed.

Evaluation: Although it is a common light-body skill in the martial arts world, it is very effective and ordinary people cannot master it to a high degree.

Level 3: +200% movement speed, -80% stamina consumption, -20% terrain effect.

How should I put it? They were born to run!
Although it doesn't quite match the kind of carefree, elusive, and unpredictable life Chen Xiuxian envisioned, it's better than nothing.

Now, the cultivation panel displays the newly learned "Earth-Controlling Wood Technique: Qi Refining Chapter," so Grass Fly simply uses his experience points to max it out!
450 + 650 + 850 = 1950 experience points, no big deal~
……

"Thanks to all the brothers and righteous warriors who fought so bravely, we were able to wipe out the Boar Men in time. I will definitely ask for credit for everyone when I get back!"

The commander of Sanyangbao clasped his hands in a fist salute and, with a broad smile, painted a rosy picture for everyone.

Of course, it can't be said that he was just making empty promises.

It really is thanks to Chen Xiuxian and his group that they were able to wipe out these two hundred or so wild boar-men in time.

In fact, the General's Mansion had more than 2000 cavalrymen who were about to set off.

If things really escalate to the point where the General's Office has to send a guerrilla general to handle it, this commander will probably be in deep trouble.

Although no one expected that the boar-man would cross the Thousand Mountains in the dead of winter and appear here.

It even infiltrated the Great Wall, which is somewhat unbelievable.

But if things really escalate, someone has to take the blame!
The head of Sanyangbao is the primary person responsible!
Now that I've finally solved it myself, it's all good.

He's out of danger; if he spent some money, he might even turn misfortune into good fortune!
Back at Sanyangbao, they had a "victory celebration feast." Chen Xiuxian and Lao Niu didn't care about anything else and ate their fill. This was what we brothers deserved!
Other "righteous men" also held Chen Xiuxian and his companion in exceptional respect.

As I mentioned before, Liaodong is a harsh place where people really die. That's why people value capable individuals highly.

There's virtually no chance of people looking down on others, because this place really needs someone tall like Chen Xiuxian to hold the fort.
Even the commander of Sanyangbao came to offer a bowl of wine, his words implying that he was trying to poach their talent.

Cao Bianjiao immediately stepped forward to block him—"You dare to poach my talent right in front of me?! Do you not respect me, Cao Bianjiao?!"
After a hearty meal and drinks, in the afternoon, Cao Bianjiao organized a convoy to take the main "heroes," including Chen Xiuxian, to Shenyang in the rear—and there would be official rewards!

Shencheng is located in the middle of the Liaodong Plain, nearly 140 li away from Sanyangbao.

However, the roads in Liaodong were troop transport routes and were very well constructed. In addition, the oxen pulling the carts were of unknown breed, as tall as a person, huge in size, all fleshy, and with hooves as big as small basins.

With white breath coming out of its nose, it ran along, pulling everyone along without stopping.

So they arrived in Shenyang before sunset!
