Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 23 Shock
Sensing Xie Yuwei's powerful aura, Xie Cheng swallowed hard and said incredulously, "Sister Wei, you're a mid-level Card Spirit Master?"

Although he was not a Card Master and could not see through his niece's cultivation level, he remembered this sense of oppression, a feeling he had only ever experienced with his younger brother.

Xie Yuwei smiled and nodded.

If she hadn't advanced to the intermediate level of Card Spirit Master, she wouldn't have dared to approach Jie Bei.

Upon confirming his niece's social standing, Jie Cheng was moved to tears.

Nanwen Village has finally welcomed another intermediate-level Card Spirit Master.

With the addition of an intermediate-level Card Spirit Master, the barrier repair is now promising.

"Let's go, everyone will meet at the ancestral hall," Xie Cheng said to Xie Yuwei.

Before leaving, Xie Yuwei said to Xie Yuchen, "Make your own breakfast. Don't wait for me after you're done. Eat first."

"Okay, sister." Xie Yuchen watched Xie Cheng and Xie Yuwei leave with longing eyes.

His inability to participate in the repairs this time was all Uncle Bei's fault; Uncle Bei is really annoying.

My sister has now advanced to the intermediate level of Card Spirit Master. I hope she can defeat Uncle Bei so that they won't have to worry about him anymore.

When Xie Cheng brought Xie Yuwei to the ancestral hall, there were already quite a few people gathered there.

These people were all spirit masters and leaders of Nanwen Village. When they saw Jie Cheng and Jie Yuwei enter, they all nodded in greeting.

Using the original owner's memories, Xie Yuwei identified their identities one by one.

They are all card spirit masters and clan leaders from Nanwen Village. Except for the eldest cousin, Jie Huai'an, all the card spirit masters have gathered here.

Apart from her, her eldest cousin, and Chen'er, there were no other Card Spirit Masters in their clan.

No wonder Uncle was so excited when he learned that Chen'er had become a Card Spirit Master.

Xie Yuwei's gaze swept around the ancestral hall, and then she noticed a halo of light shimmering on the altar.

The faint, gentle light shimmered particularly brightly within the ancestral hall.

Xie Yuwei walked over curiously.

Jie Cheng stayed by her side the whole time. When he saw her walking towards the halo of light, he said to her, "This is the core of the barrier."

So this is the core of the formation.

It's reasonable that the formation's core in Nanwen Village is located in the ancestral hall, since everyone in the village is a member of the Xie clan.

When Xie Yuwei arrived at the center of the formation, all the Card Spirit Masters gathered around her.

A kind-hearted card spirit master said to Xie Yuwei:
"The energy of this array core has weakened. With insufficient energy, it is difficult to maintain the defense of the barrier."

"We have gathered here to infuse the core of the formation with spiritual power."

Another card spirit master asked seriously, "Is everyone ready?"

Xie Yuwei asked doubtfully, "Can't I just input spiritual power directly?"

"Yes!"

Xie Yuwei nodded to indicate that she understood.

Once all the card spirit masters were ready, they gathered their spiritual power together and channeled it into the array's core.

The array's core received a replenishment of spiritual energy, and the faint halo began to brighten.

Xie Yuwei kept a close eye on the changes at the array's core, and saw that even after everyone had exhausted most of their spiritual power, they still couldn't fill the gap in the core.

Just as she was hesitating whether to reveal her strength and repair the missing array core, Jie Bei, who had been unnoticed until now, suddenly attacked Jie Yuwei.

While everyone's attention was focused on the array's core, he quickly activated his card: "Go!"

He activated the Crimson Chicken card and controlled the Crimson Chicken to pounce on Xie Yuwei.

He knew that if he attacked Xie Yuwei at this time, he would definitely be punished by his clan.

However, he was willing to take this risk in order to obtain what Xie Yuwei possessed. Only by crippling Xie Yuwei could he have a chance to get what Xie Yan had left behind.

Xie Yuwei snorted coldly!
I knew he wouldn't stay put.

Just because someone like him lowers his profile doesn't mean she won't notice him.

She had always been on guard against him causing trouble, so she wasn't surprised at all when she saw him take action.

Xie Yuwei glanced at the card he activated, a flash of disdain crossing her eyes.

A mere Redblood Chicken thinks it can ambush her?

You want to attack her with cards, right?
Then let him experience what it's like to be attacked by cards.

"Frost Mantis!" Xie Yuwei cast instantly.

The Frost Mantis is a mid-to-high-level card. As soon as it appears, a powerful pressure envelops the entire shrine.

Jie Bei's Crimson Blood Chicken instantly collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

Everyone in the ancestral hall watched this scene in shock. Before they could react, Jie Bei's card was destroyed by Jie Yuwei.

The card spirit dissipated, and the card turned to ashes on the spot. Jie Bei was backfired and spat out a mouthful of thick blood.

Is Jie Yuwei an intermediate-level Card Spirit Master?
It’s so shocking!

At such a young age, she had just awakened as a Card Spirit Master and advanced to the intermediate level. How were those Card Spirit Masters stuck at the beginner level supposed to cope?
Jie Bei's cards were scattered, and he looked at Jie Yuwei with horror and fear.

At this moment, he had a bad feeling. If he had known that Xie Yuwei was an intermediate-level Card Spirit Master, no matter how jealous or greedy he was, he would not have dared to make a move against her.

Seeing the murderous intent in Xie Yuwei's eyes, he regretted it.

He was about to explain himself, but Xie Yuwei gave him no more chances.

Having cultivated the techniques for using rare stones, Jie Yuwei knew all too well how to cripple a Card Spirit Master.

Every Card Spirit Master has a place similar to a dantian in their body, which the original owner's father called the Qi Sea.

The Qi Sea stores the spiritual power of a Card Spirit Master. If this Qi Sea is destroyed, the spiritual power within the Card Spirit Master's body will dissipate.

Without spiritual power, a card master cannot activate the card spirit of a card.

With a single move, Xie Yuwei directly destroyed Xie Bei's Qi Sea.

The Frost Mantis transformed into a cold, exceptionally sharp ice blade, which shot towards Jie Bei at lightning speed, piercing directly through Jie Bei's Qi Sea.

Once Jie Bei's Qi Sea broke, his spiritual power leaked outwards like a funnel.

Feeling the spiritual energy within his body gradually dissipate, Jie Bei was truly frightened.

He scrambled to Xie Yuwei's side, begging for forgiveness, "Sister Wei, please forgive Uncle Bei this once, Uncle Bei will never dare to do it again!"

After saying that, he glanced at the array's core and said with a hint of threat:
"The current barrier's spiritual power is insufficient. You cannot destroy me. I can repair the barrier."

The people in the ancestral hall were still in shock, but after hearing Xie Bei's words, they all looked at Xie Yuwei and subconsciously wanted to beg for Xie Bei's forgiveness.

Xie Yuwei glanced coldly at everyone and said regretfully to Xie Bei, "Uncle Bei! It's too late, your Qi Sea has already been broken."

"Once the Qi Sea is destroyed, all cultivation is lost!"

"From now on, you are just an ordinary person."

"No!" Jie Bei couldn't accept becoming an ordinary person.

He glared at Xie Yuwei with resentment.

Xie Yuwei calmly said, "Uncle Bei, I tolerated you this once when you came to 'borrow' the Crimson Blood Chicken from me."

"You framed me in the back hill yesterday, I'll tolerate it a second time!"

"Then you tried to force me to hand over the secret, I'll put up with you one more time."
