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

Chapter 60 You are the Celestial Card Maker
Shopkeeper Huang hadn't expected Tianlei to be on its last legs like this. It seemed the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demon had to be sent to Tianlei.

He sighed and said to Ming Zihui, "I have a hundred ancient tree demons. I can send eighty of them to Tianlei."

Ming Zihui's eyes brightened. With these eighty ancient tree demons, Tianlei should be able to hold out for a few more years.

Manager Huang glanced at Ming Zihui's expression and said to him, "These ancient tree demons that went to Tianlei are definitely not as strong as the one in Nanwen Village."

Ming Zihui looked at him in confusion. Weren't all these cards made by that child?

Shopkeeper Huang explained to him, "The ancient tree demon does not deplete the cardholder's spiritual power; it absorbs the surrounding spiritual power for its own use."

"How can the spiritual power of Tianlei compare to that of Nanwen Village?"

The Heavenly Fortress is constantly embroiled in fierce battles, resulting in a mixture of spiritual and demonic energy, limiting the spiritual power that the ancient tree demon can absorb.

Surrounded by mountains and forests, Nanwen Village boasts fresh air and abundant spiritual energy, making it an ideal place for the ancient tree spirit to thrive.

Ming Zihui was very surprised, never expecting that the ancient tree demon would have such characteristics.

This is truly a blessing for the Card Master.

"I'll give you the list of warriors from Tianlei. Only when the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demon is in the hands of these people can they make the most of it."

Ming Zihui asked Manager Huang for pen and ink, and he personally wrote out a list from memory and handed it to Manager Huang.

"The Ten Thousand Year Tree Demon's card is very special. You can demand the due fee from the military at the market price."

Manager Huang took the list and glared at him: "Nonsense, I never intended to give it to you for free."

He bought these cards from his niece at a high price.

Ming Zihui only brought up Xie Yuwei's matter after getting what he wanted from Manager Huang:

“My lord, if you truly care about the child, you shouldn’t have hidden her in a place like Nanwen Village.”

Nanwen Village is too small; that child should have a vision commensurate with her abilities.

Hiding her in a small place like Nanwen Village will only harm her.

Manager Huang asked Ming Zihui with a stern face, "What do you mean?"

Ming Zihui said, "Let's send her to Fengyun Academy!"

"If the two of us recommend them together, the college will accept the siblings."

"As for her identity as a card maker, it would be better to conceal it after she goes to the academy, wouldn't it?"

Manager Huang knew that Ming Zihui was right. He hadn't thought about sending Xie Yuwei to Fengyun Academy before because her parents had only disappeared, not perished.

He kept thinking about asking her parents what they thought.

Now, thanks to Ming Zihui's reminder, he realized that Xie Yuwei was no longer suited to stay in Nanwen Village; she deserved a wider world to explore.

"I understand. I will arrange this matter. Don't act rashly for now," Manager Huang said to Ming Zihui.

Ming Zihui had achieved his goal, so of course he wouldn't say anything more.

However, the county magistrate did not keep his visit to Qi Pawnshop a secret for long.

After he finished discussing these matters with Manager Huang at Qi Pawnshop, the county magistrate happened to arrive.

"Hui, why did you leave Nanwen Village alone? If you run into those people again, you're doomed." The magistrate said to Ming Zihui with concern as soon as he entered the door.

Yesterday, those people stormed into the county government office. It took him a lot of effort to send his friend away, while he stayed behind to deal with them.

He finally managed to deal with the men in black, but his friend returned and said he wanted to stay in Nanwen Village.

I checked in, so what's going on now?

Why did they run away from Nanwen Village again? Do they think they're too long to live?

Ming Zihui could only repeat the explanation he had given to Manager Huang to Yan Hongxue.

Yan Hongxue was relieved to hear this, and asked curiously, "Where's Ye Zi? Let me see!" Ming Zihui handed the Ye Zi in his arms to Yan Hongxue.

When Yan Hongxue tried to take it, he was knocked away by the power of the leaf.

He exclaimed in surprise, "This leaf recognizes its owner?"

Ming Zihui and Manager Huang had "you think so?" expressions on their faces.

Yan Hongxue was very interested in the ancient tree spirit and the earth god. When he met Manager Huang, he couldn't help but ask again:

"My lord, when will you send out the ancient tree demon and the earth god?"

Shopkeeper Huang said to him, "I have already promised General Ming to send the Ten Thousand Year Tree Demon to Tianlei. I can sell you one. I can give you twenty-one Earth Gods, but you must guarantee that these twenty Earth Gods will be used in these villages."

Ever since acquiring the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demon and the Earth God, Manager Huang has already planned their uses.

He had to ensure that these cards were used in crucial situations; this was the only requirement Sister Wei had given him, and he had to comply.

Yan Hongxue had just finished marveling at the quantity that Manager Huang had brought out when he heard the subsequent requirements, and his handsome face turned into a bitter one.

"Lord Marquis, are you giving these cards away for free?" Yan Hongxue couldn't help but ask.

Manager Huang gave him a look that said, "What are you thinking?"

"You know how powerful and special the Earth God is, how could I possibly give it to you for free?"

Yan Hongxue said helplessly, "Isn't this a forced sale? If I want to get the Land God, do I have to pay out of my own pocket to equip these villages with the Land God card first?"

Manager Huang said matter-of-factly, "They are all villages under your jurisdiction, so isn't it only right that you help them to have a local earth god?"

Yan Hongxue: Are you serious?
Manager Huang looked at Yan Hongxue with unwavering determination. If he wanted to obtain the Earth God from him, he had to do this.

Yan Hongxue hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to compromise.

He desperately wanted those two cards.

Once he got his hands on the cards, he would have someone study them.

Once he has copied these two cards, he can have as many as he wants.

“Alright, then give me the twenty-one Earth Gods and the ten-thousand-year-old Tree Demons!” Yan Hongxue said.

Shopkeeper Huang handed him the prepared card: "A sincere offer of two million six hundred and forty thousand spirit coins!"

Yan Hongxue's lips trembled. So expensive!

Despite his reluctance, he eventually traded the cards.

Ming Zihui and Yan Hongxue had achieved their goals at Qi Pawnshop. After leaving Qi Pawnshop, the two returned to their respective places.

-

Ming Zihui silently left the village and then silently returned.

He encountered neither assassination attempts nor magical beasts along the way.

After returning to Nanwen Village, he went straight to find Xie Yuwei.

At that moment, Xie Yuwei had just finished crafting the disguise card.

Upon learning that Ming Zihui wanted to see her, she came out of her house to meet him.

"Does Young Master Ming need something from me?" Xie Yuwei asked, her round eyes wide open.

Looking into her clear eyes, Ming Zihui sighed inwardly that she had not been tainted by the world.

He cut to the chase and said, "Miss Jie, I know you are the legendary Heavenly Maiden Card Maker of Tiansheng City!"
