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

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

Ximen Qing stretched.

He shifted his gaze from the snow-white expanse before him, feeling the significant increase in his magical power, and nodded in satisfaction.

To be honest, Chunmei's contribution was enormous.

This maidservant, drawn from the system, possessed abundant Yin energy, causing his magical power to increase at a rocket-like pace.

Based on this surge in growth, if it happens a few more times, he should be able to break through to the mid-stage of the Day After Tomorrow realm and stand on the same starting line as Gu Yunzi.

Unfortunately, this passive cooldown is a bit troublesome, as it will take several more days.

Ximen Qing shook his head, putting his cultivation plan out of his mind, and lifted the curtain of the carriage to look at the deep mountains behind the village.

He was inclined to confront that mountain god.

It wasn't that he got carried away; rather, he had thought it through. Since that crow was some kind of "mountain god's messenger," this mountain stronghold was also the mountain god's white glove.

Now that they've set up camp here, how can they not be being watched?

With the enemy in the dark and us in the light, how can we live in peace?

Ximen Qing disliked this feeling, so he prepared to take the initiative and seize control.

So, let's draw a card before we set off!

What if we find something interesting?

The system interface opens.

[Player Card: Ximen Qing]

[Strength: Third Level of Acquired Realm]

[Astrological Fate: None]

[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) - Cloud Dragon, Lu Junyi (SSR) Fragments x2, Pang Chunmei (Character Card)]

[Item Warehouse: Marin's Gold Bricks]

[Soul Points: 27]

Skipping over the above information, Ximen Qing focused his attention on the Soul Points.

A full 27 points—truly, murder and arson bring wealth and honor.

Bah! What he's doing should be called exorcising demons and saving the world!

No wonder those upright people like to kill demons and monsters whenever they see them. Ximen Qing declared that from now on, he would also become a traditional upright person.

"System, give me 20 consecutive draws!!"

Ximen Qing spoke up decisively.

I'll only keep seven lottery draws for emergencies, and invest the rest!

Going all in is a form of wisdom!

I've already collected two SSR card fragments for Lu Junyi, the Jade Kirin. I only need one more to synthesize it!

He just didn't believe it. "I've done 20 pulls, and you still won't give me this one?"

And so, under Ximen Qing's expectant gaze, twenty orbs of light descended from the sky!

They lined up in front of him!

The first one!

"Yang Zhi's family heirloom sword!"

Holy crap? I got gold on my first try?

Ximen Qing's eyes widened.

He looked at the long-handled sword floating in the air.

[Yang Zhi's Family Heirloom Sword (Unrecoverable): Legend has it that this sword belonged to Yang Ye, a general of the Yang family, and is imbued with the spirit of loyalty, capable of vanquishing evil! It can cut a hair with a single blow; it is a rare weapon in the world!]

It's actually a magic weapon?

Ximen Qing pinched his face, cried out in pain, and then looked back with a smug look.

Having tried the gold bricks produced by the system, he no longer dared to underestimate the item pool that he had originally thought was just for "making up the numbers".

Some things are trash to those heroes destined to be Heavenly Fiends and Earthly Fiends, but to them they are divine artifacts!

Even if you don't get anything good after that, it's worth it if you get a magic weapon!

Ximen Qing thought to himself.

But soon, he wished he could slap himself a few times.

Because the prophecy came true, fifteen consecutive draws yielded nothing but garbage.

"Zhang Shun's loincloth"

"Yan Poxi's Rouge and Face Powder"

"Natural organic vegetables grown by Zhang Qing in his vegetable garden"

"The Bodyband of the Demonic Sun Erniang"

"Pan Jinlian's silk handkerchief for wiping sweat"

……

Why is it that Pan Jinlian always comes up in this story?!

You definitely cheated the system!

Why don't you show us Jinlian's character card! What's the big deal about showing a few clothes every day? People who don't know better might think that I, Ximen Qing, have some kind of special fetish.

So Ximen Qing didn't even look at them, he just collected them all and took three soul points.

There are four orbs of light left.

He had given up hope and stopped mentioning the Jade Kirin. He just hoped to get a few useful ones, otherwise these 20 consecutive draws would be a complete waste.

Perhaps it was because the system heard his thoughts, or perhaps it was because the guaranteed reward was given.

In short, it was accompanied by a burst of golden light.

Four cards flew out in a row.

Even Ximen Qing was a little stunned by what he saw.

hiss?

Is this system some kind of masochist? Does it deserve to be cursed at?

He hurriedly looked up at the sky and saw three identical card fragments. On them was a burly man with messy, spiky hair, iron eyes, and red and yellow eyebrows, resembling a ghost king or Yama.

Carrying two Xuanhua axes, he looked like a demon from the underworld, and his size was even larger than Ximen Qing's father, Ximen Da. He was practically a giant!

And with such an appearance, his identity is already obvious!

Brother Tie Niu, the most caring little cotton-padded jacket of Song Jiang among the 108 heroes, is Black Whirlwind Li Kui.

Huh? Wait a minute, isn't the place I'm standing on called Black Wind Stronghold?

Did I really get the Black Whirlwind?

Ximen Qing couldn't help but wonder if there was any necessary connection between the lottery location and the prize pool.

At this moment, the three Black Whirlwind card fragments have been combined into a complete card.

Black Whirlwind Li Kui (R)

A beam of black light pierced straight into Ximen Qing's forehead.

Instantly, a surge of power rushed into his body, accompanied by waves of tingling and soreness, causing him to let out a soft groan.

"Young master? What's wrong?"

A concerned voice came from beside me.

His commotion woke up Chunmei and Cui Ji, who looked at Ximen Qing with a worried expression.

"fine!"

Ximen Qing waved his hand, enduring the soreness all over his body, and got out of the carriage to avoid losing his composure.

As soon as he jumped out, his face couldn't stay still, and he grimaced in pain for a while before it subsided.

"That fucking hurts!"

Ximen Qing gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.

However, looking at the information on the system interface and pinching his own skin, Ximen Qing felt that this pain was worth it!

Worth it!

[Passive: Iron Body]

[With the strength of an ox and the firmness of iron, a black whirlwind that shakes the heavens and the earth]

As the name suggests, this passive ability directly made Ximen Qing as strong as an ox. Of course, this is the least significant aspect. More importantly, it made his physique as strong as an iron ox.

What's the most outrageous thing about Li Kui, the Black Whirlwind? Of course, it's that this guy would casually wield an axe and go on a rampage through the army, and he still wouldn't die.

It relies on its iron-clad body; while not invulnerable to swords and spears, it's not far off!

As expected of the Heavenly Killer Star, his passive abilities are far superior to those of Ximen Qing and Shi Qian.

Huh? Wait a minute?

Since my skin is made of iron, then what about my spear, dulled by last night's heavy rain...?

He had a bold idea.

However, before he could put it into practice, he heard Simon Da calling from afar.

"Qing'er? You're awake?"

Ximen Qing turned around and looked into the distance.

Nie Xiaoqian was seen discussing something with Simon Da.

Upon seeing Ximen Qing, Nie Xiaoqian's expression changed slightly, and she turned slightly to the side.

However, Ximen Qing still noticed the dark circles under the other person's eyes.
