I can enjoy the Mythic card pool all to myself

"True Qi?"

Fang Chang was slightly taken aback.

Most ordinary martial artists have never even heard of the term "true qi".

After all, true qi is something that only Qi Refining Masters of the seventh rank or above can access.

But he had once been a centurion in charge of the night watch, and through his exposure to the world, he knew some of the secrets.

The so-called true qi is the product of a martial artist's perfect cultivation of essence and transformation of internal energy into qi.

Once true qi is condensed, it means that one has successfully entered the middle third grade and joined the ranks of qi cultivation masters.

The difference between a Qi Refining Grandmaster and a Martial Arts Master is like the difference between heaven and earth.

The internal strength of a martial arts practitioner can be seen as an invisible and intangible force that cannot be released externally.

The true qi of a master of qi cultivation possesses various mysteries; it has form and substance, and can be released outwards, condensed into a physical form, and can injure people from several steps away.

As for the more profound intricacies, Fang Chang didn't understand them very well either.

In the end, he's only a ninth-rank martial artist now.

The realm of Qi Refining Masters of Grade Seven and above is still far beyond his reach, so how could he possibly fully describe its mysteries?

But now, he never expected this...

The eerie smoke emanating from the coffin was actually the so-called true qi!

He had assumed that the creature inside the black coffin was nothing more than some kind of eerie and unpredictable evil spirit.

However, looking at it now, it's very likely that the person lying inside is a Qi Refining Grandmaster!

only……

"If he truly is a grandmaster, is he dead or alive?"

"If you're dead, how can you breathe? How can your vital energy leak out?"

"If he were alive, why would Mr. One-Eyed show no reaction and be unable to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong?"

Fang Chang frowned slightly, his doubts growing.

In fact, resolving these doubts is quite simple; all it takes is exhuming the body and examining it.

But he would have to be crazy to risk this misfortune.

There must be a reason why a living Qi cultivation master would willingly lie in a coffin.

Or they are either eccentric old monsters with unusual habits and quirks.

Either he is a highly skilled person who has suffered serious injury to avoid disaster and to conceal his true intentions.

Regardless of the method, rashly opening the coffin is tantamount to inviting trouble.

Furthermore, the black coffin had already been nailed shut, and forcibly breaking it open would surely alert the caravan.

He also has to follow this team and finish drawing all the cards in the [Tianya Zhichi] limited card pool.

At this point, adding unnecessary complications and offending Ma Dao and others would be a huge loss.

After much deliberation, Fang Chang finally suppressed his curiosity.

The contents of the black coffin, regardless of whether they belong to a Qi Refining Grandmaster or not, are absolutely extraordinary.

Ma Dao and his gang of bodyguards, who aren't even martial artists, are escorting a black coffin all the way from afar; there must be something fishy going on.

As the old saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.

This matter has nothing to do with him, so there's no need for him to get involved.

He will find out sooner or later what he needs to know; there's no need to rush.

Having figured all this out, Fang Chang turned his gaze away from the black coffin.

"I wonder what changes have occurred to Mr. Yi Mu after he was touched by the true energy within the black coffin..."

Fang Chang played with "Mr. One Eye". The scene in front of him was the same as always, and he did not find anything special.

The only difference is that the rating given on the panel has changed from green to dark green.

The true energy leaking from the black coffin could enhance the quality of the rare treasure, "Mr. One-Eyed," which was clearly an unexpected bonus.

He made up his mind that if the black coffin leaked true energy again, he would continue to use it to enhance "Mr. One Eye".

Although we don't know exactly what the effect will be, if we can continue to improve, we will eventually be able to figure out the changes.

Fang Chang casually put "Mr. One Eye" into his bag.

Only then did his attention turn to the 100 merit points he had gained from slaying the evil spirit.

A full 100 merit points, just enough for one ten-pull!

"Keep trying to pull from the 'Close to You, Far Away' gacha pool. Make sure you get a purple-quality martial art before the pool expires..."

Fang Chang made up his mind and immediately had an idea.

In an instant, the screen before my eyes flickered, radiating brilliant light, and ten cards slowly emerged from it!

This was his first time doing a ten-pull, and even though he was usually very calm, he couldn't help but get nervous.

But that's often how things are: the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

as predicted!

Fang Chang glanced up and quickly scanned the area, his face instantly darkening, and the corner of his mouth twitching involuntarily.

After drawing ten cards, including the guaranteed minimum, I only drew two green cards; the rest were all white cards.

To make matters worse, none of the eight white cards could be used to improve attributes; they were all common, low-level martial arts techniques.

Fortunately, these basic, low-level light-foot skills are not entirely useless; at the very least, they can be used to improve one's ability to fly over grass.

Otherwise, this would be a huge loss!

"Luckily, I got two green cards, so I didn't completely rely on my safety net..."

Fang Chang's gaze fell on the two green cards, his expression softened slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

【Water Walking (Green): A superior level nine lightness skill. Upon mastery, one can walk on water at will, achieving extraordinary skills such as being as light as a swallow and skimming the water like a dragonfly.】

【Copper Bow and Iron Slingshot (Green): An essential item for martial arts镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) on long journeys. They often carry this slingshot to hunt birds for food, for self-defense, and to ward off wild animals...】

"I've drawn another top-grade ninth-rank lightness skill. Now I've finally completed my collection of skills: flying over grass and skimming across water."

Fang Chang sighed helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Flying on Grass" and "Floating on Water" – just by their names, you can tell that the two light-body skills are extremely similar.

He was somewhat curious: if the Cloud Soaring Ridge were extracted later, would it be able to roam freely across land, sea, and air?

Fang Chang stroked his chin, not in a hurry to learn how to float on water, but instead focused his attention on the bronze bow and iron projectiles.

To be honest, when he first saw this card, he thought he had hit the jackpot and drawn the golden bow and silver bullets of Erlang Shen from mythology.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just a basic version.

Fang Chang shook his head and casually took out the bronze bow and iron bullets.

The so-called copper bow and iron bullets are actually slingshots commonly used by hunters and bodyguards for hunting.

The bow frame is made of finely cast, golden bronze, and the matching iron bullets are small, round, and hard.

At first glance, it seems unremarkable.

However, since it comes from a limited-time gacha pool and has been rated as green quality, it must have something unique about it.

Fang Chang tried to raise his hand and pull the slingshot, but the first time it didn't budge at all!

He raised an eyebrow, instantly becoming interested, and immediately mustered all his strength, pulling and releasing sharply...

"Boom!!!"

A metal bullet, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, spiraled out and slammed hard onto the bluestone slab on the ground.

The thick bluestone slabs were instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

A deep pit, about the size of a bowl, suddenly appeared before our eyes, with rubble flying everywhere.

"good."

Fang Chang nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the bronze bow and iron bullets.

He had used all his strength, but only managed to unleash 30% of the slingshot's power, failing to fully extend the bow.

Whether it's a slingshot or a bow and arrow, the greater the force, the greater the power.

If he can successfully complete the tendon replacement this time, his strength will definitely increase dramatically.

At that time, the bronze bow and iron bullets will be fully unleashed, maximizing their power.

At that time, this seemingly insignificant slingshot might become his unexpected trump card.

Fang Chang made his plans and casually tied the bronze bow and iron bullets to his waist.

Then, on a whim, he used the Water-Walking Martial Arts Card.

In an instant, a flood of insights came to mind, and the act of walking on water became a natural progression, allowing me to smoothly enter the field.

[Green grass and green water, though different paths, lead to the same goal and complement each other perfectly.]

[Should we choose to integrate the two light-body techniques and innovate upon them?]
