I'm Ximen Qing, living in a ghost story!

While someone was engrossed in the fierce battle, Kuku was practicing.

Under the same night sky, someone is worrying and troubled because of him.

Lanruo Temple, meditation room.

This time, there was no public party.

There were only two people, the Tree Demon Granny and Abbot Yuantong, or rather, one person and one demon.

"It seems that Ximen Qing has caught the eye of the Laoshan Dao, so it's only natural that he could kill Qing'er. My suggestion is to let this matter drop."

"The Taoist priest from Laoshan? You mean that outcast who can't even be found at the mountain gate? Although Grandma just arrived, she's heard of him! What's there to worry about? Since he killed one of Grandma's people, he has to pay the price. Otherwise, any Tom, Dick, or Harry could kill any of Grandma's girls in the future. What kind of order would that be?"

Today, the Tree Demon Granny is only draped in a layer of black veil, appearing in the world in female form.

It must be said that this tree spirit was absolutely stunning. Her alluring eyes were captivating, her lips were stained with cinnabar, and every smile and frown exuded charm. She was naturally alluring, making it impossible to look away.

Especially her graceful body was revealed in front of Abbot Yuantong, appearing and disappearing under the black veil.

However, Yuantong seemed to be a truly enlightened monk, showing no reaction whatsoever. With a kind face and hands clasped together, he spoke:

"Amitabha! You haven't been in Guobei County for long, but you may not know that although Gu Yunzi is called an outcast of Laoshan, he is actually a wandering Taoist from Laoshan. Since the battle years ago, the Laoshan Sect has been depleted of its members, so such an outcast is a treasure! Although Gu Yunzi is not strong, only at the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm, he has quite a few magic treasures and is not easy to deal with."

"Hmph! Yuantong, you've chickened out? Since you've decided to cooperate with Master Heishan, how can you accomplish anything significant if you're so hesitant?"

The tree spirit lost patience and stared at Yuantong.

But the old monk shook his head: "I will not sacrifice the great foundation of my Lanruo Temple for the sake of a dead ghost! If you can obtain the teachings of my sect's founder, I will risk everything to help you make the trip! If not, then please go back."

"you!"

The tree demon stared at Yuantong with a ruthless gaze.

However, Yuantong remained unmoved.

"Alright, alright, since that's the case, then don't regret it! If you won't do it, Grandma will do it herself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the meditation room swung open, a gust of black wind swept in, and the tree demon vanished on the spot.

Only the monk Yuantong remained, sitting cross-legged, chanting scriptures. After a long while, his expression became bewildered, and he murmured, "Master! Is it truly worth it to provoke ghosts and invite wolves into the house for a mere, ethereal legend?"

His voice echoed in the quiet room, but no one responded.

……

The next day, the sun was still high in the sky.

Ximen Qing experienced the joy of dual cultivation for the first time, and upon waking up in the morning, he made the bold statement, "I will devote the entire day to cultivation."

Naturally, the excessive force resulted in Cui Jixu's downfall.

He looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness, and was very sickly.

Startled, Ximen Qing hurriedly summoned a doctor, who diagnosed him with overexertion and the need for rest.

Thus, Ximen Qing's plan to cultivate himself fell through. After condemning his own greed, he went to find the maid in his room.

However, this time it was his turn to fail... oops, it was his turn to have problems.

It turns out that although [Nourish Yin and Yang] is a passive skill, it still has a limit! Of course, we can't let Kuku level up unchecked, otherwise this game would turn into an erotic game, right?

Even so, he's already leveled up, so it's not a loss!

Taking advantage of his excitement, Ximen Qing brought up his system interface.

[Player Card: Ximen Qing]

[Astrological Fate: None]

[Strength: Third Level of Acquired Realm]

[Unlocked Skills: Yin-Yang Supplementation (Passive), Gentleman on the Beam (Passive), Spirit Consultation (Active)]

[Card Warehouse: Shi Qian (R) - Drummer's Lament, Gongsun Sheng (SR)]

[Item Warehouse (Recyclable): Pan Jinlian's Red Mandarin Duck Undergarment, Shi Jin's Tattoo Knife with Nine Dragons, Gao Taiwei's Cuju (ancient Chinese football), and the Melon Seeds in Wang Po's Hands]

[Soul Points: 7]

Those ghost infants gave him a considerable reward, and with the one soul point he originally had left, his reserves once again reached seven.

and many more?

Ximen Qing suddenly noticed the (recyclable) items following behind the warehouse.

"What do you mean?"

With a thought, his gaze was already focused on the warehouse interface.

Then a sudden realization dawned on me.

It turns out that the extracted material can be recycled.

This is obviously a disgusting tactic used by unscrupulous games.

To reduce player frustration and keep them engaged, it's necessary to include some truly useful elements among the junk.

It can be recycled and reused, and it's addictive, making you want to go all in without thinking.

"I have no idea who designed it!"

Ximen Qing complained, "This lousy game is so clumsy! Why does a gacha game have to have equipment recycling?"

However, talk and criticism go hand in hand.

This feature is a major benefit for him, who doesn't have a way to spend money on in-game purchases.

Looking at the few items in the warehouse.

Ximen Qing was eager to try his luck. He didn't have high expectations; he just wanted to get enough for ten consecutive draws.

[Recycle Pan Jinlian's red mandarin duck bodice, Soul Points +0.1]

[Recover Grand Commandant Gao's Cuju (an ancient Chinese football game), Soul Points +0.1]

[Recover the melon seeds from Wang Po's hand, Soul Points +0.2]

……

Ximen Qing's face was as black as the bottom of a pot:

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

I knew it! I shouldn't have trusted the integrity of this garbage game!

And another thing! Why are the melon seeds in Wang Po's hand more expensive than Pan Jinlian's undergarment? Why?!

Wait a minute! Didn't I have four things?

Ximen Qing looked at the system interface again, only to see it suddenly burst into golden light—

[Recycle Shi Jin's tattoo knife (Nine-Dragoned Sword), Soul Points +5]

Holy crap! I got my money!

Although he didn't know why Shi Jin's tattoo knife was so valuable, he looked at the two-digit number (12) in the Soul Points column.

Ximen Qing's eyes widened in surprise.

Wow, if I could get this level of recycling items every time, what would I be afraid of!

"System! Ten consecutive draws!"

Taking advantage of his good fortune, Ximen Qing washed his face, held up incense sticks, and bowed to the Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor, the Five Elders of the Five Directions, God, Jesus, Pangu, and Nuwa...

He then waved his sleeve and spoke.

Upon hearing Ximen Qing's words, the interface in front of him spun around, and ten white orbs of light appeared. Then, under his expectant gaze, they landed steadily!

One by one, they opened in front of him.

"SSR Jade Kirin Lu Junyi (Fragment)"

"The Sleeping Potion of the Demonic Sun Erniang"

"Li Kui's Foot-Washing Cloth"

"Song Jiang's broadsword"

"The forehead ribbon of Hua Rong, the Little Li Guang"

"SSR Jade Kirin Lu Junyi (Fragment)"

……

Upon seeing the two SSR-level cards, Ximen Qing's eyes turned red, and he was panting heavily.

He stood up involuntarily, his mind racing with questions: Could it be that I really am going to rely on my kidneys for cultivation? Will good fortune strike after I start cultivating?

SSR-level cards can unlock the destiny of 108 heroes.

By the way, what star was Lu Junyi among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals?
