Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 76 Harvest, Trade

A series of system notifications rang out, indicating a very fruitful harvest.

The other teammates also got several items, but their current situation is rather dire.

One by one, some lay down, some leaned against something, some took medicine, and some received treatment.

Gadak's health was down to less than a third, but he still had a [Crimson Cloak (Green)] that could restore 100 points.

The female player was in an even worse situation than him. After being poisoned, all her attributes decreased, and her health dropped rapidly and continuously. Even taking medicine could only alleviate the symptoms.

Fortunately, Chen Xiuxian killed the corpse beast, preventing it from continuing to spread its corpse energy; otherwise, if they had delayed any longer, everyone would have been dead.

This corpse beast should have something like an "aura skill". Fighting it in this tomb will result in continuous erosion from its corpse energy.

Chen Xiuxian, being physically strong, didn't have much of a reaction, but his other teammates were struggling to keep up.

And that soldier's spear was bent!
……

"Thank goodness, thank goodness you were so helpful, Brother Chen. If this had dragged on any longer, I would have really died. Ouch, it hurts so much. I need to log off to reduce the pain." Gadak groaned incoherently.

"It's finally over. I'm never playing this game again!" The female player's eyes were filled with tears; she had been badly beaten. Her face was still a little pale.

The man who was holding a gourd and checking how many wasps he had left said, "Who's finished?"

"what?"

His one sentence energized all four of them.

"Look at that!"

He pointed to the northwest corner of the tomb chamber, where an oil lamp on the wall, now a deep blue, was swaying gently in the still tomb.

The older man explained, "This book also has a hidden mechanic, or rather, a hidden boss. There's a pair of mercury-enriched children who were buried alive with the deceased."

"It's uncertain whether this monster will spawn or not... It seems we've really been 'lucky' this time, we've caught all of these opportunities."

Gadak wailed, "We still have to fight? I really can't keep up!"

The older brother shook his head: "Don't rush, we don't necessarily have to fight. Besides killing the mercury-enhanced children who were to be buried alive with us, we can also offer them a sacrifice to appease their resentment, that would also work!"

Gadak nodded repeatedly: "Let us pay our respects! Let us cherish peace!"

All five of them felt that it was really not a good time to continue fighting.

Let's try to use peaceful means!
……

Several incense sticks were placed on a small mound of earth, with yellow paper and some cooked food as offerings next to them.

The pair of children who were buried alive with the deceased looked to be only four or five years old, very small.

Its skin was a silvery-gray color, and its eyes were tightly closed.

This is what happens when mercury is injected into the body. It has to be injected while the person is still alive so that the mercury can flow throughout the body and prevent decay.

Beast!
"Ding~ You have offered sacrifices to the children who were buried with mercury, eliminating their resentment. You have gained a special effect: Good fortune for three days."

Seeing that the other players also suddenly looked up, it seemed they had all received their rewards.

Finally, it's time for the teammates who have fought side by side to share their resources.

Chen Xiuxian exchanged some items with Gadak.

Gadak planned to forge a magical artifact, but he lacked the necessary materials, while Chen Xiuxian had plenty of them.

I gathered a small pile and exchanged it for a [Jade Crab Claw (Blue)] from Gadak. Eating this thing will increase your arm strength by 3.

Chen Xiuxian fed it on the spot, and its arm strength reached 41 points! Invincible~
Chen Xiuxian also used the entry card [Sturdy (Blue)] to exchange for a magic item with that hornet guy - [Hornet Box (Green)], which contains 81 orange and black carnivorous hornets.

The soldier seemed hesitant and embarrassed, but his girlfriend spoke up: "Brother Chen, we'd like to trade with you for that [Moth-bodied Dragon Pattern Double Jade Disc (Blue)]."

【Double Jade Disc with Moth-shaped Body and Dragon Pattern (Blue)】

Tier 3 Equipment Card - Jade Pendant
The moth is a symbol of a selfless warrior.

Chi is a type of dragon without horns on its head. Objects engraved with Chi patterns can ward off evil spirits.

“劙” refers to its manufacturing process.

The finest double-sided jade disc with moth-shaped body and dragon pattern will change into twelve different colors each of the twelve two-hour periods of the day.

+3 Constitution
+3 Willpower
Ward off evil spirits: Reduces some of the damage caused by evil spirits and malevolent forces.

Sacrifice: After activation, grants +1 Military Skill level, lasting 5 minutes.

Comment: When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave will prevail.

"Look, is this okay?" The girl pulled out a roll of paper.

[Corpse-Biting Sword Forging Diagram (Green)]...

It's actually a sword forging diagram! Prepare the materials, and you can forge a Tier 3 blue-quality flying sword, Corpse Bite Sword, by consuming this diagram!

"No way!" the soldier friend objected. "That's for you to use when you're forging flying swords!"

The girl shook her head: "Anyway, I don't like this. Just collecting all sorts of teeth makes me hesitant to even start. I'll just get an ebony sword from now on!" The main reason is that the moth-shaped, dragon-patterned double-jade pendant is just too perfect for her boyfriend.

With the addition of the [Blue Axe of the Ancient Kingdom of Buyeo] that he obtained himself, his strength has increased significantly!
Chen Xiuxian readily agreed!
I don't need this jade pendant, so a flying sword design would be perfect for me!
This sword diagram is definitely more valuable than that jade disc, because the jade disc has far too limited applicability. This time, it just so happens that it has found the right person.

……

"Ding~ You have completed the breakthrough quest [Slay the giant ground otter (blue)], and you have broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. You can continue to increase your character level."

Having exploited the bug in the Breakthrough Dungeon three times and even managed to clear a dungeon within a dungeon, Chen Xiuxian has now accumulated enough experience points to level up directly.

But he wanted to think it over further and wasn't in a hurry. He'd decide after he'd made up his mind.

However, the "Earth-Controlling Wood Technique: Qi Refining Chapter" has just reached the maximum level!

It has high enhancements in all aspects, and its charm is a whopping 37 points!
Why do I feel like I'm going further and further down the path of becoming a male succubus?
This thing is going up so fast!

However, his lifespan is a full 116 years—which will be -1 year before the Lunar New Year.

After emerging from the dungeon, Chen Xiuxian had recovered from all his minor injuries and exhaustion.

However, the mental fatigue from repeated hard battles is not so easily dispelled.

It was already late at night, and snow started falling again.

He got up and looked at the snow scene by the moonlight from the window.

Thanks to the glass windows, which were quite expensive, Chen Xiuxian spent more than ten taels of silver to install them in these three rooms.

The main problem is that the window paper is really ineffective, and it makes the light pass through even less. It's better to spend a little money to make yourself more comfortable.

For example, you can watch the snow scene in the middle of the night.

I gained a lot from this dungeon run.

Defeating a goblin yielded a card with the attribute "Strong (Green)", defeating a man-eating ground saddle yielded a card with the attribute "Disguise (Green)", defeating a giant ground otter chieftain yielded an equipment card with the attribute "Giant Ground Otter Fur Chestplate (Green)"...

In the tomb of the general of Fuyu Kingdom, defeating the giant pig-nosed bat yields a skill card [Listen to Sound (Green)], and defeating the clay figurine yields a follower card [Dog-headed Clay Figurine with Knife (Green)].

Defeating the Corpse Hound also yielded:
【Corpse-Suppressing Nails (Blue)】

Tier 3 Magic Item Card
Made from coffin nails that have been buried in ancient tombs for hundreds of years, this is a yin-attribute magical artifact specifically designed to subdue zombies and corpse monsters.

Yin Sha: Damaging an enemy inflicts the Yin Sha effect, weakening them for a prolonged period. Ordinary people may even die as a result.

Corpse Suppression: When nailed into the body of a zombie or corpse monster, it will stabilize the corpse's energy, suppress evil spirits, and suppress the corpse.

Review: Much better than black donkey hooves!
There's also the [Iron-Blooded Corpse Fiend (Blue)], which is a rare item card. It costs 5 coins and is a type of Earthly Fiend.

The forum says that the number of Corpse Fiends among the Earthly Fiends is very small. So far, only four types have been discovered, which are considered essential items for the Gang Sha realm in the Corpse Refining path.

Unfortunately, I'm useless.

The [Moth-bodied Dragon Pattern Double Jade (Blue)] was replaced with the Corpse-bite Sword Forging Diagram. This item requires 108 zombie teeth, and the more types, the better.

No wonder that girl didn't like this thing.

A wicked cultivator's flying sword, forged from over a hundred zombie teeth and capable of both gathering and dispersing, felt strange just to hold. Not to mention, having to acquire those zombie teeth—how many zombies and monsters would that require?!
As for [Kui Xing Kicks the Dipper (Green)], it's a skill card. It's a single kick that supposedly deals double damage to zombies and monsters.

But overall it's still not very useful.

……

The next morning, when he woke up, Dou Zhongde had already cooked porridge, bought two large bags of steamed buns from the street, and brought out several jars of pickled vegetables, which he was arranging on plates.

When he looked up and saw Chen Xiuxian, he was suddenly stunned.

"My lord!"

"What's wrong?" Chen Xiuxian asked while brushing his teeth.

You seem to have changed?

"Ok?"

"You look even better!"

Chen Xiuxian: You old rascal, you've even learned how to flatter Jinzi... Wait a minute, I think I suddenly gained 10 charm points!
——《敕土行木诀·炼炁篇》16层获得“百花”效果，+10魅力、+10寿命、+1000气血、+100%气血和法力回复速度。

"Ahem!" Chen Xiuxian cleared his throat. "That's because I meditated and practiced my skills last night, and my cultivation has made great progress!"

"I think it looks even better now, that's the effect of the technique. You'll get used to it!"

Dou Zhongde and Lao Niu believed this explanation; otherwise, what would they have believed?

Let Chen Xiuxian teach them so they can become more handsome and find partners more easily?

……

"System, draw a card for me!"

Take advantage of the "Lucky Star" effect in the dungeon; you might just get lucky!
