Resources are monopolized, what can I do about my unlimited access card?

However, Gu Ye suddenly remembered the person who told him about the [Mysterious Blood Crystal]. The day before the Card Domain Trial, he went to the card-making material market to see if he could find a bargain.

I learned about the [Mysterious Blood Crystal] from a vendor. The [Mysterious Blood Crystal] is an extremely rare pseudo-natural treasure.

However, it's not used on card masters, but on cards. It can increase the star rating of any card without any side effects, even if it's only half a star, it's still very valuable.

For card players, increasing the star rating of their cards means reducing the amount of spiritual energy required, freeing up some space in their signature cards, and consequently increasing the number of cards they can use.

Moreover, there are other benefits besides this, such as increased card power. It's easy to imagine how much a card star rating can boost a card master's combat strength.

Having made up his mind, Gu Ye decided to go and try to find that person tomorrow. Moreover, when that person told Gu Ye about the [Blood Crystal], he needed to wait for Gu Ye to obtain the [Blood Crystal] as payment. The two of them even signed a [Demon Contract] for this purpose.

【Demon Pact】is a card created by binding an oath between two card players. If one card player breaks the oath, the other card player can obtain all of his/her cards.

Furthermore, the card master's natal card will be shattered if the oath is broken, the soul will be devoured by the Heavenly Dao, and the physical body will dissolve and return to nature. Therefore, the [Demon Contract] is also known as the [Heavenly Dao Contract].

Gu Ye took out the forty [Spiritual Energy Breath] cards, picked out the ones he needed from the pile, and then began the real business.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, picked up a [Spiritual Energy Breath], infused it with spiritual energy, and then devoured and refined it. He repeated this process, and all forty [Spiritual Energy Breaths] were refined within three hours. His cultivation level also increased to the fourth rank of Bronze, and his progress reached 70%.

"Awesome!" Gu Ye couldn't contain his joy. This method of continuously improving cultivation without side effects was really addictive.

He calmed himself down, put away the cards, got out of bed, sat down in a chair, and started the next task. He took out the armor drawing he had made last time from the drawer and continued to draw the details on it. He worked for several hours straight. Fortunately, it was Saturday tomorrow, so he could sleep in.

I slept without any dreams...

Gu Ye arrived at the famous Yunlin City tourist attraction—the card-making material market, where he was greeted by a variety of stalls and hawking sounds.

"Freshly baked spiky dragon dung, hot dragon dung..."

"A fragmented card-making sequence from a thousand years ago—if you can deduce it, you can become rich overnight!"

The market is bustling with people every day, many of whom hope to strike gold in the dung and become rich overnight, but the probability of actually finding gold is shockingly low.

Gu Ye ignored the various vendors' sales pitches. He had used a disposable disguise card on his way here, and with the help of a shady map, he barely managed to find a shop selling card-making materials. The name was very abstract: "There's a Shop Here".

The vendor from last time told Gu Ye to find him at this address. The shop door was closed, so Gu Ye followed the vendor's instructions and knocked on the door three times long and once short.

A moment later, the shop door was opened a crack, and a small head peeked out. The girl had two small buns in her hair and a chubby face. Gu Ye estimated that she was a seven or eight-year-old girl.

The little girl looked at Gu Ye curiously and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Yang Fu!" Gu Ye announced the vendor's name, and the little girl turned around and called out.

"Dad, it's for you!" The little girl had no choice but to let Gu Ye into the store after a long time of no response. She opened the door a little wider so that Gu Ye could fit in, and waved to him.

Gu Ye walked into the store, and the little girl continued to peek out, cautiously observing her surroundings, as if confirming something before pulling her head back in.

The little girl led Gu Ye into the shop. Gu Ye observed the shop as soon as he entered; it was just a normal shop selling card-making materials. Many unknown cards were displayed on the counter. Just then, a hurried voice came from inside:

"Hurry up, start the group, start the group!"

"The dragon is about to be stolen."

"grass!"

A loud "thump" rang out as a fist slammed onto the table.

Gu Ye turned his head and saw a man sitting in a chair in front of the counter, wearing a pair of sci-fi glasses, occasionally uttering words of greeting to his family and ancestors. The man was Yang Fu, the vendor he had met last time.

From Gu Ye's perspective, the image displayed on the glasses shows Yang Fu playing the currently popular game, "Battle Card Alliance".

"Dad, someone's looking for you, but it's not those guys."

The little girl stepped forward and took off Yang Fu's glasses.

"Who?"

Yang Fu was a little annoyed when his glasses were taken off. When he saw Gu Ye standing in front of him, he immediately showed Gu Ye what it meant to change his expression. Gu Ye was still disguised with his original face, and Yang Fu recognized him at a glance.

"Brother, you've finally arrived." Yang Fu's face lit up with a smile.

"Sit down!" Yang Fu's daughter brought over a chair.

"This is my daughter, Yang Tongrui." Yang Tongrui walked to the side, put on her glasses, and continued fighting for Yang Fu.

"Li Feiyu".

After Gu Ye sat down, he took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Yang Fu, who excitedly accepted the card with both hands.

After checking, it turned out to be the [Crimson Blood Crystal] he wanted:

"Brother Li, thank you!"

Yang Fu stood up and bowed to Gu Ye. Gu Ye quickly stepped aside and stood to the side, speaking:

"This was already our agreement."

"It's just an equivalent exchange."

Yang Fu said gratefully, "Although we have signed a contract, I am still very grateful to you."

After speaking, Yang Fu took out a card from the counter in front of him and handed it to Gu Ye. Gu Ye did not reach out to take it and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"This is a thank-you gift for you."

"I don't need it." Gu Ye didn't want to take it, but before he could react, Yang Fu had already placed the card in his hand.

"Take it. I only gave you one piece of information. I know it wasn't easy for you to get the [Blood Crystal], and it's extremely important to me."

Unable to refuse such hospitality, Gu Ye had no choice but to accept it. Now it was time to get down to business.

"Shopkeeper, do you buy materials for card making?"

"I'll take it." Yang Fu replied confidently, carefully putting away the [Blood Crystal] card and turning to look at Gu Ye:

"I accept all types of card-making materials."

Hearing this, Gu Ye didn't hesitate, took out ten cards and handed them over. Yang Fu took them, checked the card levels, and quickly offered a solution:

"2 white card-making materials, 18 green card-making materials."

Gu Ye was somewhat surprised to hear his quote, because his quote was basically the highest price for each type of card-making material.

Gu Ye shook his head at him: "You don't need to do that. The price should be what it is."

Gu Ye reached out to grab the cards and leave. After all, he wasn't the type to take advantage of others, and if he agreed to Yang Fu's offer, he would truly owe someone a favor.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yang Fu quickly pressed down on the card and gave an awkward smile: "Alright then."

Yang Fu had no choice but to revise his offer, and Gu Ye nodded in agreement upon hearing the new price.

Gu Ye looked at Yang Fu and sensed that he was also a bronze-level card master, so he took out all his cards and placed them on the counter.

Yang Fu's pupils suddenly contracted when he saw so many card-making materials. As someone who specializes in selling card-making materials, he not only has an extreme understanding of customer psychology, but also a sharp eye.

On top of the card pile was a blue-level card-making material, which was very rare in the card-making material market of Yunlin City. Every time a blue-level card-making material appeared, it was usually sold by influential people. He knew that this might be a huge transaction.
