He had received the money.
Therefore, he should carry out his tasks properly.
Lu Ming felt that he still had some morals.
On the day itself.
Lu Ming bought a large quantity of “The Complete Guide to Spirit Bodies”, “The Compulsory Existence of the Sword Spirit” and various types of books associated with spirit bodies. He then began to ramp up his knowledge!
After all…
Since the Original Card had a card spirit, he should use it!
A Sword Embryo’s prowess would increase tremendously after obtaining a sword spirit, what about an Original Card?
Would its prowess increase?
It was true.
He was very curious. The card spirit was such a good thing. Did it merely know how to cultivate on its own?
It must have other functions.
Well…
Lu Ming thought about it.
In this area, Xiaobai might be more experienced than him.
“Xiaobai.”
Lu Ming glanced at Xiaobai. “Besides cultivating on its own, what else does your Original Card know?”
“Aye, let me think.”
Xiaobai tilted her head and pondered, before saying seriously, “It’s not very good at boiling water or cooking. I’ve let it try before but it can’t control the stove fire well.”
Lu Ming stared at the sky.
Damn it! Your Original Card can even boil water and cook?!
This was shocking!
It was just that…
Lu Ming sighed. “I’m asking you about the cultivation aspect.”
“Nothing.”
Xiaobai said obediently, “It told me dumbly that it can only cultivate now.”
“Alright.”
Lu Ming understood right away.
At the corner.
Puff!
Puff!
Xiaobai’s Original Card was diligently moving up and down. Upon hearing their conversation, it cast a confused stare at them before returning back to its cultivation…
“Hey.”
Lu Ming called his Original Card to come to him. “What do you know?”
The Original Card was silent.
Shouldn’t you pick up these kinds of things yourself?
Have you seen a Swordsman asking his sword spirit: How do I control you?
This was crazy!
“Forget it.”
Lu Ming came to his senses.
He reckoned that this guy would not respond.
Although this guy was already a card spirit, it was more temperamental…
“Go and cultivate.”
He chased the Original Card away.
The Original Card was speechless.
Why did you call me then?! It stared furiously at Lu Ming before returning to the corner and cultivating together with Xiaobai’s Original Card…
There was no choice.
Beggars can’t be choosers.
This master was too moronic. If it was not obedient, he might really make him cook durian rice…
He could not afford to offend him.
“Spirit body…”
Lu Ming flipped open the first page of one of the books.
The book described in general the spirit bodies in the world. Types, characters and species…
He took a glance.
Those things that he caught did not seem to be any of them!
“They are actually illegitimate,” Lu Ming muttered.
Alright.
Since no one knew, he could only research on his own.
Oo…
He might not need to study on his own.
Be it the sword embryo or sword spirit, Original Card, card spirit or X spirit… They were ultimately spirit bodies and the method of usage should be similar.
Well…
He could ask his sister.
Lu Ming called Lu Yan. “Sister, do you have a sword spirit?”
“No.”
Lu Yan shook her head slightly.
“Huh?”
Lu Ming was very surprised.
Lu Yan was so powerful but she did not have a sword spirit?!
This was not logical!
In theory, the sword spirit was a product of a powerful Sword Embryo. Lu Yan had been a peerless genius all this while and Lu Ming thought that she long had a sword spirit…
Wait a minute!
Lu Ming suddenly felt somewhat pleased.
Hahahaha!
Lu Yan did not have what he did!
Didn’t this mean that he had finally surpassed Lu Yan in something?!
Although…
He attained it with Brother Cat’s assistance. Nevertheless, he was also considered a cultivator with a card spirit and had surpassed Lu Yan by a tad!
And so…
Little Lu Ming should feel consoled now?
Although Lu Yan certainly sided with him and was good to him, he felt slightly emotional to be able to surpass his sister occasionally.
“My Original Card seems to have given birth to a card spirit,” Lu Ming said nonchalantly.
Steady!
Steady!
Don’t gloat! Don’t be smug!
“Oh?”
Lu Yan was truly happy for her brother. “Congrats! Congrats!”
“Hehe.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
This was the first time that he had surpassed Lu Yan after coming into this world!
It was not easy!
“Since the Original Card has a spirit body, you have to guard it well.”
Lu Yan reminded him, “Although I don’t know why the Original Card wants to give birth to a spirit body, it is a good thing. Don’t end up with problems like mine.”
“Huh?”
Lu Ming was shocked. “What problem?”
“Actually, I also had a sword spirit in the past.”
After pondering, Lu Yan said regrettably, “But it disappeared.”
Lu Ming was confused.
She had one before?
Sword spirit…
Could sword spirits go away?
“Self-ruptured,” Lu Yan said calmly.
She had re-cultivated numerous times and even self-ruptured her Sword Embryo. How could she possibly retain her sword spirit? Her Sword Embryo had nurtured sword spirits a few consecutive times but she ruptured all of them.
Nevertheless…
It was okay.
She could feel that the sword spirit was the same one after her Sword Embryo re-condensed it…
It would not die.
As long as her foundation was still around, the sword spirit would not die.
But it hurt slightly.
That was fine.
However, she might have self-ruptured too viciously the past two times. Now, it refused to appear no matter what!
Lu Ming was silent.
His complacent state of mind resumed its calm again.
Sure enough…
He knew it!
Each time he felt smug, this would happen!
Crap!
Ordinary folks don’t even get to see Sword Spirits, okay?!
How would he know that his sister had already begun toying around with the self-eruption of sword spirit?!
It was too much!
Nevertheless, that was great too.
Lu Ming’s mood livened up again.
Since his sister had a sword spirit, she could definitely share her experience with him. Lu Ming needed ways to maximally utilize the spirit body.
Lu Ming asked earnestly, “Sister, do you have any advice on how to use the sword spirit?”
“Let me think…”
Lu Yan pondered for a moment and said, “When I self-erupt, the Sword Embryo and sword spirit become more compatible with each other.”
Based on her experience, when she self-destructed, both the Sword Embryo and Sword Spirit would gather the same momentum. Their prowesses would increase tremendously and the effect was great.
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
W-was this the case?
Instinctively, he glanced at the Original Card that was cultivating at the corner.
The two Original Cards were frantic.
Crap!
He really could not learn this…
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
They were shining fervently and their cultivation speed began to increase exponentially.
Lu Ming was speechless.
He really could not learn this.
It was not because he could not bear to leave with his Original Card but because he was well aware of his own cultivation speed. He had caught up after much difficulty… If he were to re-cultivate…
Most probably, he would be dead meat.
“You really don’t need the specialty products from the legacy site?” Lu Yan suddenly said, “In the legacy site this time, there are a few pets that can transform into foxes. Their characters seem quite good. They can serve tea and beverages in your shop…”
“I don’t need them!” Lu Ming declined firmly!
What a joke!
Was he that kind of person?
Sigh.
His sister was really…
“Alright.”
Lu Yan was somewhat disappointed.
It seemed that her brother’s sexual orientation had not been changed…
“Xiao-yanyan… You’re really preoccupied.”
Qiu Shuyi glanced at her disciple smilingly. “Do you want me to do it personally?”
Lu Yan glanced at her master, pretending that she did not hear her words.
Bang!
A blasting sound could be heard from afar. A horrifying aura condensed.
“It’s coming.”
Lu Yan got up calmly and dashed over.
At this very moment…
At the shop.
Lu Ming hung up his cell phone.
“Master, have some water.”
Xiaobai was carrying a cup of warm water.
“Sure.”
Lu Ming felt gratified.
“Master, what are pets that can transform into foxes?”
Xiaobai asked curiously.
Lu Ming’s body stiffened. He said seriously, “It’s a kind of fox-like beast that is quite powerful. It’s very dangerous and can kill people unknowingly. It’s a rare kind of fearsome beast.”
“I see.”
Xiaobai seemed to be lost in her thoughts.
Glancing at the cup of water, Lu Ming took a sip after confirming that there was no problem with it.
Fortunately, it was not poisonous.
Spirit body…
He did not intend to inquire about it anymore.
The most common vocation that used spirit bodies was Swordsman. His sister was an outstanding talent. If even she was not clear about sword spirit, there was no point asking someone else!
Oo…
For the time being, he would treat it as a computer running and let it cultivate on its own.
At this moment…
He had too many things to be busy about.
Reading, studying lines and cultivating…
Lu Ming found time to take a glance at the cultivation progress of the Original Card. Um… It did not skive.
Very well.
He would skip this on the list.
Lu Ming focused his attention on the lines.
Now, he had studied more than ninety percent of the Cloud Shuttle Card. There was only ten percent more before he could create this card.
There was also the four-star Burial Mound Card!
Under the keen assistance of the big shots of association, the research progress at the moment was fifty-two percent!
This card’s lines were exceptionally difficult. Despite Lu Ming throwing huge sections of the lines to the big shots for analysis, the progress was merely so-so.
“I’ll create the four-star Cloud shuttle Card first.”
Lu Ming’s voice was low.
Hence…
In the next two days, Lu Ming studied the four-star Cloud Shuttle Card.
The two associations had helped to deduce most of the lines. The remaining was mostly lines that Lu Ming did not find too difficult!
Shush!
Shush!
Two days.
Lu Ming continued to learn and deduce…
He finally succeeded!
Buzz—
The card surface changed!
This was the first time that Lu Ming created this card.
A four-star ultimate limit Escape Card…
Lu Ming was thrilled.
He was well aware that as a four-star ultimate limit card, the effect of this card certainly far exceeded that of the three-star Cloud Shuttle Card. Perhaps he could escape from a five-star!
After all, a three-star cloud shuttle could take away a five-star!
Of course.
On the premise that…
This was really an Escape Card.
Lu Ming gingerly inserted this card into the machine for testing.
Dee—
It was scanning the algorithm—
Dee—
The scanning was complete.
Energy Level Rating: Four-star top-notch
Energy Consumption Limit: Ten thousand points
Possible Function Module: Directive
“Directive?”
Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.
He finally had a function that he could control!
The three-star Cloud Shuttle Card was actually very wonderful but he could not control it. It was pointless then… If he could control the four-star…
“Let’s try it.”
Lu Ming’s heart was stirring.
It was fine not to test the Moonlight Card but he had to test the Escape Card! This card would be the first four-star card that Lu Ming was going to test!
Hence…
He specifically went to the suburbs to prepare for the testing.
Buzz—
The energy dissipated.
A terrifying glow suddenly circulated.
Just as Lu Ming was filled with anticipation, the energy came to an abrupt halt…
The release failed!
Lu Ming was confused.
What was happening?
There were actually times where the release of the card would fail?
He specially checked and was shocked to discover that, unknowingly, the energy in the Charging Card had already been fully consumed!
To hell with it!
He got this Charging Card from Old Fan!
There were a total of ten thousand energy points!
It was hollowed out just like that?
Was it the card’s problem?
No.
Impossible.
The card was not released successfully!
Furthermore, under normal circumstances, there was only one possibility for the card release failure — Insufficient energy!
“This is strange.”
Lu Ming scratched his head.
Could the Charging Card be fake?
Therefore, he took out another Charging Card with ten thousand energy points, also from Fan Ze, and cast the card again!
Shush!
The energy dissipated thoroughly.
The card… still failed to cast.
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
What the hell was this?!
Are you kidding me?
However, when he recalled the message on the energy testing machine…
Estimation!
So as to speak, it might be incorrect?
Alright.
Since that was the case, Lu Ming might as well take out a stack of three-star Energy Cards and sense the depletion of the cards seriously. He activated the Charging Cards in his hands one by one!
One card!
Two cards!
Three cards!
It was only when he used a total of ten cards that the card was activated!
Buzz—
Lights dazzled!
