My tribe has been invincible for thirty years of gacha pulls.

It wasn't that Ji Shi didn't want to give the black card to Shi Peng, but rather that after careful consideration, he realized that what the other party said made sense.

Furthermore, as the head of the Jishi clan, Shi Peng not only needs to remain calm but also needs to maintain good relationships with his subordinates. If he uses the [Arrogance] card, it could very well cause a change in Shi Peng's personality.

There won't be any problems in the short term, but if it goes on for a long time, it will definitely cause signs of incompatibility between Shi Peng and his subordinates.

Over time, Shi Peng will have to step down from his position of power.

After all, as someone in power, one must at least earn the respect of those below, and ideally, ensure that one's orders are carried out effectively.

If arrogance leads to subordinates outwardly complying but inwardly resisting, it will indeed be a troublesome matter.

After all, the description of [arrogance] is:

[Black Card: Pride]

[Effect: The more confident you are, the more powerful you can unleash.]

[Note: The user's personality will change subtly, becoming increasingly arrogant, looking down on others, and believing themselves to be superior to everyone else.]

[Note: This is a unique growth card and cannot be retrieved except upon the user's death.]

Like [Arrogance], this card is a black card that directly boosts combat power.

Although the author doesn't know the relative strengths of these two cards, it's clear from the effect of [Rage].

For example, Ji Fei is currently a peak second-tier martial artist, but with the blessing of [Rage], he is invincible among second-tier martial artists.

If [Rage] is activated to its maximum, Ji Fei could even overpower a third-tier martial artist.

Of course, this situation cannot last.

After all, it comes at the cost of injury. Although he had never tried it before, Ji Shi felt that if Ji Fei were to fight a third-tier martial artist at full power, even if he could match the opponent in terms of combat strength, he would likely die on the spot if he continued to suffer fatal injuries during the battle.

In comparison, the bonus from [Arrogance] seems rather idealistic.

As long as you are confident enough, you can get this combat power boost.

Although we don't know exactly how good the results will be, from a documentary perspective, it certainly won't be too bad.

While pondering these thoughts, Ji Shi had already arrived in front of Ji Shan.

"Little Stone, did you need something from me?" Ji Shan asked, somewhat surprised.

His current position in the tribe is actually a bit strange. After all, he was the previous guardian of the tribe. According to the long-standing custom of the Jishi Water Tribe, a new guardian would only take office after the old guardian passed away.

Ji Shan, on the other hand, voluntarily resigned.

Normally, he should have been carried into the ancestral temple after using his life to solve a few problems for the tribe.

However, under the guidance of the documentary, the development of the Kiyama Water Department was too rapid, and Kiyama was not given any opportunity to showcase his abilities.

As a result, Ji Shan has now fully entered into a retirement mode.

And because he had given almost everything to the tribe, everyone respected him.

Fortunately, there was no power grab, and if any problems arose with the old patriarch, Ji Shan would immediately take over the old patriarch's responsibilities.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Kiyama still lives a very leisurely life every day.

After all, he couldn't cultivate on his own before advancing to the third rank.

Upon seeing Ji Shi approach him, Ji Shan immediately knew that the other party had come to see him for something.

"If you have any rare resources, you don't need to give them to me; keep them for yourself."

Ji Shan silenced Ji Shi with a single sentence, leaving the latter somewhat helpless.

"Grandpa, don't you want to take it a step further?"

Ji Shi spoke with a hint of exasperation, prompting Ji Shan to purse his lips: "Going further depends on what it is. I've already consumed quite a few of your resources lately, and you always send Shuihe to deliver them and then leave right away. I'm barely being polite with things like soul fragments and soul stones, but since you came in person this time, it's obviously rare resources. If I pretended not to know anything and just accepted these things, that would be a real scourge on the tribe."

Ji Shan isn't some clueless old man; he's currently unable to cultivate on his own and can only advance further thanks to resources.

More importantly, he knew his own situation; it was almost impossible for him to break through to the third rank based solely on his own strength.

After all, he was in grave danger when he broke through to the second tier using the clan's secret technique. If Ji Shi hadn't intervened in time to help him advance, this advancement would have certainly failed.

Under these circumstances, Ji Shan naturally did not believe that he could successfully break through to the third level using secret methods.

After listening to Ji Shan's explanation, Ji Shi said with some helplessness, "The main thing is that my resources are indeed highly compatible with you, and they will definitely help you break through to the third tier."

Upon hearing this, Ji Shan did not feel happy; instead, a look of speechlessness appeared on his face.

He silently watched the documentary, remaining silent for a long while before sighing and saying, "I'm just getting old, not stupid. How could there possibly be resources in this world with such a powerful effect?"

It's not easy for Ji Shan to break through to the third tier using only [Arrogance], since [Arrogance] isn't a cultivation-type black card. However, after using [Arrogance], Ji Shan can use buff cards.

Putting everything else aside, the [Echo of the Soul Stone] alone is enough to allow Ji Shan to break through to the third tier!

"I'm getting old. Even if you give me this rare resource, it would be a waste. You might as well give it to someone else, who could probably make a greater use of it."

The documentary shows that his grandfather was not playing hard to get.

Or perhaps the other party really didn't need to do that.

This gave Ji Shi a bit of a headache, since he knew his grandfather was also a stubborn person.

Fortunately, he quickly came up with a solution.

"Let me tell you the truth, Grandpa. Others can indeed use this thing, and what I'm saying is true. But this thing has side effects; it will make the user increasingly unsociable. More importantly, even after you die, it won't be a waste, because I can obtain this thing again and give it to others. With more data to support it, the next user in the tribe can make better use of it. So if you really want to contribute to the tribe, you shouldn't refuse this thing, and there's no need to do so."

Ji Shan was stunned after hearing the documentary.

He then fell into deep thought.

It must be said that what the documentary said was very damaging to him.

However, Ji Shan didn't agree immediately. Instead, he frowned deeply and said, "You kid... you're not lying to me, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Shi felt somewhat helpless, but he quickly smiled and said, "Grandpa, what are you saying? I'm just telling the truth, but if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

"In that case, I'll use it."

Although Ji Shi was not Ji Shan's biological grandson, he had raised him, so Ji Shan could naturally tell that Ji Shi was not lying.

In this situation, he would naturally be willing to become a "guinea pig" for documentary filmmaking.

Ji Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ji Shan had agreed.

What he said was certainly true, but in a sense it wasn't entirely true.

After all, he didn't mention at all how much help and benefit Ji Shan could gain during this period.

As mentioned before, for any black card, its benefits are directly proportional to its side effects.

For others, it's natural to explain the benefits and side effects clearly, but for my own grandfather, there's no need for that.

After all, the documentary always understood his grandfather's thoughts.

The other party wants to make their final contribution to the tribe, and in this case, naturally, the more side effects there are, the more willing Ji Shan is to use it.

As he pondered these thoughts, the documentary team let out a silent sigh.

"Alright, bring out those resources."

Seeing that Ji Shan was getting impatient, Ji Shi felt somewhat helpless.

Thanks to Kiyama's cooperation, [Arrogance] was successfully used very quickly.

"I haven't noticed any changes."

After carefully contemplating the matter, Ji Shan frowned deeply.

"This is actually a special kind of witchcraft. It takes a long time to observe its effects and side effects, so Grandpa, as long as you live well, you can get more information."

"And Grandpa, you should be more confident and believe in your own strength so that you can become even stronger."

Upon hearing Ji Shi's explanation, Ji Shan laughed: "In all my years of life, I have never seen any witchcraft that makes someone stronger simply by believing they are strong."

He now realized that what he was using was most likely the special witchcraft that had been passed down in the tribe.

Leaving aside the others, Shi Xiaoyong's transformation alone is already quite remarkable.

There are still too few people in the tribe who don't know that Ji Shi possesses witchcraft that can defy fate.

However, in Ji Shan's view, those things were all traceable and could not be as idealistic as the documentary described.

Of course, after the documentary told Jishan all about [Arrogance], the latter's expression gradually became more serious.

He silently watched the documentary: "Does this thing really need to be used on lab rats?"

Ji Shan wasn't stupid either. Although Ji Shi kept trying to cover it up, he could still tell that something was wrong.

"Grandpa, you've already used it, does it still matter?"

The documentary's shrug nearly drove Ji Shan to his wits' end.

Fortunately, he quickly calmed down again.

After slowly exhaling, he shook his head somewhat helplessly.

"Don't worry, I will make this special witchcraft shine with its due brilliance."

Seeing his grandfather's serious expression, Ji Shi was somewhat stunned.

However, considering the side effects of [Arrogance], he felt it shouldn't be a big problem.

At worst, she might be a little withdrawn, which is perfectly acceptable.

After chatting with Ji Shan for a while, Ji Shi chose to leave, but immediately went to find the illusory figure.

Are you planning to migrate?

Upon hearing the purpose of the documentary, the previously calm illusory figure immediately froze.

However, upon hearing the destination of the migration of Tsurugi Mizube, he gradually fell silent.

In the end, he sighed silently, but said nothing.

On the contrary, documentary films can even convey a sense of...gratification.

Of course, this feeling was quickly overshadowed.

"What brings you here today?"

The illusory figure quickly regained its senses and asked, "Let me make this clear beforehand: if you want me to help you migrate, that's impossible. As I said before, my remnant soul can only stay in this spatial rift and has no way to get out."

Upon hearing this, Ji Shi smiled and shook his head, quickly revealing his purpose: "Ancestor, I know all that you have said. My purpose is simple: you don't need to worry about the migration, but I hope you can migrate with us."

Leaving aside the vast amount of knowledge possessed by the illusory figure, the resources it controlled alone were enough for the documentary to ask it to leave.

The tribe has more and more first and second tiers, but there has never been any news of the bloodstone in the hands of the illusory figure.

Needless to say, the Soul Stones were extremely rare. There were very few shamans in the entire tribe. If it weren't for the fact that the documentary team tried every possible way to obtain the Soul Stones from them, the documentary team felt that even after decades of trying, the Jishi Shuibu might not have been able to squeeze them dry.

As for whether the spatial gap can be moved, the documentary team has even less to worry about.

If the illusory figure is only at the initial stage of the fifth rank, then the documentary feels that there is indeed a need to worry about this matter. However, the illusory figure is not only at the peak of the fifth rank, but can also master the rules that can only be mastered by the sixth rank.

Given the illusory figure's personality, there's naturally no need to worry about such issues.

The opponent is almost 100% capable of manipulating spatial rifts.

"You've got a really big plan, kid. You're really treating this place like a mobile bloodstone and soul mine."

The illusory figure looked at the documentary with a cold smile.

Although the documentary did not say it directly, the illusory figure had already discerned the documentary's thoughts.

After all, if he were in the other person's position, he would have done the same.

He and the documentary filmmaker are like the eldest brother, let alone the second eldest brother.

The documentary simply smiled and remained silent in response.

After pondering for a while, the illusory figure shook its head: "Since your tribe is preparing to migrate, it means that our connection has come to this point, and I cannot migrate with your tribe."

Ji Shi's expression remained calm. He nodded silently, "You're right. In that case, I'll go and call Si Bao to talk to you."

"Why."

Upon hearing what the documentary said, the illusory figure immediately panicked.

He quickly stopped Ji Shi, saying with some helplessness, "Isn't it unnecessary to discuss this with Si Bao? After all, as the saying goes, forced relationships are never sweet, and between us..."

"Ancestors."

The documentary patiently and earnestly advised, "Forced love may not be sweet, but it might quench your thirst! It's normal that I can't persuade you; after all, my abilities are limited, and I'm not prepared to continue. I'll find someone capable of persuading you; there shouldn't be anything wrong with that, right?"

"I'll migrate with your tribe, but you'll have to find me a vessel to carry me."

The illusory figure gritted its teeth and finally had no choice but to accept it, even if it meant holding its nose.

In truth, he knew in his heart that he was now tied to the pirate ship of the Jishi Water Department, and there was no way for him to get off!

"Rest assured, ancestor, everything is ready."

The documentary took out a memorial tablet carved from a soul stone and smiled.

The illusory figure's face turned green.

After all that, it turns out the other side was already prepared!
