Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 81 Li Huo, this kid is really lucky!

As for what kind of person Li Huo was, Chen Xiuxian didn't know either.

However, beings like Black Mother usually don't do anything futile.

Either it's due to past karma, or there will be a reason why Black Mother needs Li Huo later.

Chen Xiuxian didn't think much of it; he just wanted to make a good connection and spend the New Year with this boy with whom he had some kind of affinity.

There are plenty of pork knuckles, pork belly, chicken, duck, and fish!

Open to eat!

Because at this time Li Huo still held Chen Xiuxian in more awe and their relationship hadn't reached that level, the entry for him wasn't visible.

Otherwise, he would have discovered that Li Huo has two talent attributes: [Fire Prosperity (Purple)] and [Endless Life (Blue)].

……

Firecrackers started going off outside the window, and Lao Niu excitedly went out to set them off with Li Huo. The firecrackers crackled and popped.

Dou Zhongde stood by the window, holding a pot of sorghum liquor, sipping it as he watched.

Mimi buried her head in Chen Xiuxian's arms, her ears all puffed up, her round head looking like she was in her eighties.
What a disappointing thing! It's afraid of firecrackers! Are you some kind of monster?!
When the dumplings arrived, everyone enjoyed a hearty meal and drinks.

Li Huo was so moved that he cried. He had been an orphan since he was eight years old. He had been fed by many families for several years before becoming an apprentice waiter. He had been beaten for several years before he finally started working for Qian Chuan.

Because he was willing to go all out and was quite intelligent, he helped Qian Chuan keep an eye on some inconvenient matters.

But only today did he experience a feeling called happiness.

Although sixteen is still young, he's considered a young man in Liaodong.

Chen Xiuxian poured him a bowl of wine, which made his face turn red!

This was a night he had never dreamed of before.

……

The next morning, Chen Xiuxian secretly met with Wang Chuan.

"My lord, that old scoundrel Qian Yong has already believed it. Moreover, I have learned that the important figure from Youyuandao will be arriving on the 22nd of the first month!"

Chen Xiuxian nodded: "Okay, I understand. Don't do anything for a while, just be careful. I promise to help you get revenge, so just wait."

Chen Xiuxian began to plot how to gain some benefits from this major operation of the Dao of Fate.

It would be best to teach them a lesson, a really tough one.

Furthermore, what exactly is the key to the dungeon that Youyuandao is pursuing?
……

From the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, when shops began to open, Chen Xiuxian wandered alone among various antique shops, antique stalls, and antique markets in Shenyang.

He didn't know if he would encounter what he wanted, because he didn't know the exact location and could only try his luck.

I wish the "Good Fortune" buff from that dungeon was still active.

Chen Xiuxian, dressed like a young master and with a pretty boy appearance, was looked up to wherever he went.

The moment Chen Xiuxian entered the antique shop, the shop assistant became incredibly attentive to him.

Chen Xiuxian's purpose was also very clear: "Do you have any small bronze artifacts at home? Take them out and let me take a look."

I visited seven or eight well-known antique shops in Shenyang, but found nothing.

There might be some good stuff among the antiques, but Chen Xiuxian wasn't there for that.

And these antique dealers are really shady!

They ask for hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver at the drop of a hat. Why don't you just rob someone?

Just when Chen Xiuxian was about to give up, he had nothing better to do, so he took Li Huo out to buy some ingredients and asked him to run errands.

As a result, the kid squatted down at a roadside stall.

Chen Xiuxian was negotiating with the candied hawthorn seller, asking him to sell him the straw sticks used to make the candied hawthorns as well, so he could get them easily.

When I turned around, I saw him squatting there, watching with great interest. "What are you looking at? Take this and eat your fill when we get home."

Li Huo quickly responded and stood up, taking the straw target with thirty or forty candied hawthorns stuck in it from the old man selling candied hawthorns.

The thought of being able to eat my fill of candied hawthorns makes me incredibly happy.

Just as Chen Xiuxian was about to continue shopping, he inadvertently spotted an item on the stall where Li Huo had been squatting and watching the commotion.

It was dark, like a piece of iron. Upon closer inspection, it resembled some kind of beast with four limbs. There should have been some kind of inscription on it, but it was no longer legible.

Looking at this stall again, it has all sorts of odds and ends.

From pots and pans to needles and thread, there was even an iron stove hook for poking the fire, and a simple iron helmet with a hole pierced by an arrow!

Where did you find all these things?

Ignoring the other miscellaneous items, Chen Xiuxian asked the stall owner, whose sleeves were tucked in and whose nose was running from the cold, "How much is this?"

"Take these two strings of cash!"

The stall owner could tell from Chen Xiuxian's attire that he was well-off, but he didn't dare to ask for too much.

The main problem was that it was too cold that day, and he was freezing. He figured he'd close one deal if he could.

These things were originally junk he collected from the area in the north of the city where houses were being demolished; they were all worthless.

As a result, Chen Xiuxian did not haggle, but took out two strings of coins (two small strings of one hundred copper coins) from his sleeve (inventory) and threw them onto the stall.

Then pick up that thing and leave!
Half of Xue Rengui's tiger tally!
This item is both a half-red-quality magic item and a half-dungeon key.

In the game, this thing caused a huge uproar—two medium-sized gangs, mainly based in Liaodong, started a massive battle with thousands of players to fight over it!

Later, with the mediation of a middleman, a joint development was chosen.

Later, two players were created who made it into the "Top Players Ranking".

This thing only ranks the top 100 people whose strength is generally recognized. It is jointly selected by four or five thousand neutral players who are just looking for a good show. Then the reasons for the selection and the scores are announced to deal with the doubts of the majority of players.

Right now, Chen Xiuxian is the only player in the world, so no one is competing with him!

However, all he knew was that this item was circulating among NPCs as an antique, and was later discovered by players.

He searched the antique shop and unexpectedly found it at this small stall.

This guy Li is lucky!

When Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility on someone, it will first subject them to hardship. Wishing him all the best!
……

Who was Xue Rengui?
Xue Rengui, whose given name was Li and courtesy name was Rengui, was a native of Xiucun Village, Longmen County, Jiangzhou Prefecture, Hedong Circuit.

A famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, and a sixth-generation descendant of Xue Andu, the Prince of Hedong of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Xue Rengui was born into the southern branch of the Xue clan of Hedong, but his family was poor when he was young. At the end of the Zhenguan era, he enlisted in the army and followed Emperor Taizong of Tang to conquer Goguryeo. In the Battle of Anshi City, he wore white clothes, held a halberd and a bow, shouted loudly and charged into the enemy lines, and was invincible.

Later, he followed Zheng Rentai in leading troops to attack more than 100,000 Tiele people from the Nine Tribes at Tianshan. He fired three arrows in succession, killing three elite Tiele cavalrymen, which caused the Tiele army to collapse in panic.

That is, three arrows to subdue the Tianshan Mountains!

He then followed Li Ji in attacking Goguryeo, capturing the important town of Fuyu, and joining forces with the main Tang army to besiege Pyongyang. After the fall of Goguryeo, he led his troops to garrison Pyongyang and was granted the title of Duke of Pingyang.

Xue Rengui fought for more than 20 years, defeating the Nine Tribes of Tiele, subjugating Goguryeo, and defeating the Turks. He made outstanding contributions and left behind anecdotes such as "A wise strategy to end the war", "Three arrows to settle the Tianshan Mountains", "Heroic conquest of Liaodong", "Benevolent governance of Goguryeo", "Loving the people of Xiangzhou City", and "Removing his hat to repel ten thousand enemies".

He had a son named Xue Dingshan, who married a woman named Fan Lihua. Folk tales say that she learned martial arts from the Old Mother of Lishan from a young age, and after eight years, she became highly skilled in martial arts.

There is a General Peak here. Legend has it that it was once the White Rock City of the ancient Goryeo Kingdom. It was later conquered by General Xue and became a place where soldiers were stationed.

The other half of the tiger tally is on General Peak.

If you combine the two tiger tokens into one, you will obtain the magic item [White Rock Tiger Token (Red)], and you can also unlock the Tier 4 red quality dungeon [White Rock Ghost City (Red)]!
However, General Peak will have to wait to obtain the half of the Tiger Tally, at least until his Ebony Sword or Corpse-Biting Sword is forged. His level also needs to be raised further!

As for the strategy for [Baiyan Ghost City (Red)], that's no joke.

I need to make some plans.
