Chapter 19 Lottery Cards and Task Cards Third Update

  [PS: The third update is done, 3,000 words, but only over 20 collections so far, it's really dismal, my heart is freezing!! There will be another update tonight, also 3,000 words.]

  "No, a gentleman doesn't take away what others love. Moreover, it's your beloved maid, Second Sister. How could I bear to do that? Besides, I'll be going to the Mystic Gate soon to bring Little Jade back." Yang Lue politely declined Yang Yue's kind intentions, as many things are more convenient done alone.

  "Alright then, since you've said so, little brother, I won't force the issue. However, if you still need anything, just come find me directly, or you can also look for Second Housekeeper."

  "Second sister says so, I really have some things to ask for your help." Yang Lei said.

  "What's the point of saying it, do we still need to be polite to each other?" Yang Yue was delighted when she heard that Yang Wei needed her help, and a smile appeared on her face.

  "I don't know, can second sister help me get some simple danfang and medicinal materials? Also, can you help me buy some talismans, including the brush, paper, and cinnabar?" Yang Wei looked at her and asked, "I wonder if second sister can do these things?"

  "These are just small things, how much?" These things were simply trivial matters for Yang Yue.

  "The more the better."

  Yang Yue's eyes rolled over and looked at Yang Wei: "Younger brother, what are you buying these things for? Are you going to learn how to refine elixirs and make talismans?"

  Yang Lei nodded: "Try it."

  "If you really want to learn, I can introduce a Xuanjie Dan master as your teacher." Yang Yue said, looking at her younger brother.

  "Never mind, I'm just casually practicing anyway. My goal isn't to become a Dan Master, the Martial God is my true aspiration." Yang Yue shook his head in refusal to Yang Yue's proposal. Jokingly, being a Xuan-stage Dan Master was nothing special, if it were a Tian-stage Dan Master offering to be his teacher, maybe he would consider it, but just a Xuan-stage Dan Master wasn't worth mentioning.

  "It's true, Dan Master isn't the right path after all. One's own strength is the most reliable. Refining elixirs will never reach the pinnacle of martial arts." Yang Yue was very satisfied with this, it was exactly what she had thought in her heart. Originally, she could have become a Dan Master herself, but in the end, she chose martial arts instead.

  "I'll bring it over tomorrow."

  "Thank you, Second Sister," Yang Lei said.

  "We've already said that, we're family, no need to say thanks. If you keep acting like this, I won't bother with you in the future." Yang Yue's face rose in dissatisfaction towards Yang Wei's words.

  "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong."

  After Yang Yue left, Yang Lei practiced for a while. The Xuantian Seal had already reached the fifth layer peak, but he couldn't break through, making him feel depressed. If he could kill another martial artist who had achieved the Great Perfection or Wu Wang, then he would definitely be able to break through the fifth layer of the Xuantian Seal and enter the sixth layer.

  Yang Lei also understood in his heart that if he wanted to achieve something quickly, it would not be attainable. Sometimes being too persistent was actually detrimental to his practice, so he let go of this matter.

  Try practicing Wind Blade Seven Kills, Four Kills Unite cultivation.

  "Wind and cloud, wind and rain, wind and thunder, storm, four killings combined, rise for me."

  "No, still not working." After several attempts, Yang Lei was panting and couldn't catch his breath. The four kills combined were still not enough, his true energy was still not strong enough, his realm was not high enough, and his spiritual power was not powerful enough. It seemed that he could only cultivate after breaking through again.

  After putting away the Wind Concealing Knife, Yang Yue thought again, when he killed Yang Qing, the secret book that burst out, You Ming Ghost Claw, could he also cultivate it?

  Open properties.

  Yōu Míng Guǐ Zhuǎ

  Top-grade martial skill of the Mystic Steps. After cultivation, it can give enemies a chilling and intimidating aura, with unpredictable effects. Its power is extremely great.

  The requirement is that the practitioner must have a body with demonic energy, and only with the assistance of demonic energy can they successfully cultivate. Otherwise, they will inevitably become mentally abnormal and turn into an idiot.

  Yang Lei saw this, and was depressed. This Ghost Claw of the Netherworld was indeed formidable. In Yang Qing's hands, it had caused great losses. But looking at the cultivation requirements, he felt frustrated. The Ghost Claw of the Netherworld required one to possess demonic energy in order to cultivate it, but he himself was a typical pure and orthodox True Qi cultivator - how could he possibly have demonic energy? So the Ghost Claw of the Netherworld was impossible for him to cultivate. A powerful martial art was thus left unused, something that could only be admired but not practiced.

  I don't know if this system can be exchanged or not. If it's possible to exchange points for weapons, secret books, and elixirs, then can't we also exchange secret books and elixirs back into points? It would be great if that were the case, since I have very few points myself.

  Thinking of this, Yang Lei couldn't wait to open the points exchange system.

  "Can I exchange Youming Ghost Claw for integral points?"

  "Okay." The system's response made Yang Lei ecstatic.

  "How many points can be exchanged?"

  "Yin-Yang Ghost Claw, top-grade martial skill of the Mystic Stage. Can be exchanged for 3000 points. Would you like to exchange it?"

  The system's voice made Yang Lei hesitate, this was an upper-grade Xuanjie martial skill, and it was a special one at that. It could only be exchanged for so few points, previously Yang Lei had checked, 2,000 points could only exchange for a mid-grade Xuanjie secret manual. The difference between upper and mid-grade was huge, in Yang Lei's mind it was as clear as a mirror, an upper-grade Xuanjie martial skill could be exchanged for ten mid-grade ones.

  For a martial artist, learning one superior Xuanjie upper-grade martial skill has an effect that far surpasses learning ten Xuanjie middle-grade martial skills.

  But for Yang Lei, these 3,000 points were extremely important. In the end, Yang Lei gritted his teeth and said, "Exchange."

  "Ding, congratulations player on obtaining 3000 points."

  It seemed that he still had a fine steel dagger, which was obtained after killing Yang Xiong. Now it didn't have any use, so he exchanged it too. However, this fine steel dagger was really worthless, and it only exchanged for 200 points. But what surprised Yang Lei was that the White Crane Demon Core he got could be exchanged for 50,000 points. Yang Lei, who lacked points, almost couldn't resist exchanging it. However, reason overcame desire. This eighth-level demon core was rare, if he exchanged it and wanted to redeem it later, it would be difficult, and the price would be ten times higher, which means that if he wanted to exchange an eighth-level demon core in the future, he would need 500,000 points.

  "View properties?"

  "View."

  Player: Yang Lei

  Level: 22

  Root bone: 5

  Chi value: 132000

  Integral value: 3720

  Xuanyuan Jue (Fifth Layer)

  Equipment: Flame Ring, Ordinary Storage Ring, White Crane Double Wings, Wind Concealment Knife.

  With an additional 3200 points, Yang Lei couldn't wait to exchange for something. Should he exchange that intermediate appraisal technique to cultivate? For Yang Lei, this intermediate appraisal technique was absolutely helpful, not only could it investigate and identify unknown items, but also see through the identity and cultivation of his enemies.

  After thinking for a long time, Yang Lei still decided to exchange it. This appraisal technique is really necessary. By learning the appraisal technique, one can see the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy, compared to oneself being powerful, unable to win, no need to think, just run.

  "Ding, would you like to exchange for Intermediate Appraisal Technique?"

  Exchange.

  "Congratulations, player! You have obtained Intermediate Appraisal Technique. Do you want to learn it?"

  "Study."

  Since it has been exchanged out, it is naturally what needs to be learned.

  "Ding, congratulations player on learning intermediate appraisal technique."

  After the system responded, Yang Lei felt that his eyes seemed to have something more, and he could see more clearly and clearly, as if he could see the essence of things.

  This intermediate appraisal technique is so beneficial to oneself, then if it's advanced appraisal technique, or even master-level appraisal technique, let alone divine-level appraisal technique, wouldn't it be even more powerful? However, for now, it's just a thought, this appraisal technique upgrade isn't an easy thing, of course, it can also be exchanged, but those points are too many, the advanced appraisal technique doesn't only require 2000 points to exchange, it needs 10,000 points, and the even higher master-level appraisal technique requires 100,000 points.

  The integral value is difficult to obtain, so it's impossible to exchange for a master-level or even divine-level skill.

  After learning intermediate appraisal techniques, 2000 points were consumed, leaving only 1720 points. What can be done with so few points?

  Is it a lottery card? A lottery card requires 800 points, and this lottery card may have nothing or may draw good things, and even the possibility of drawing a divine artifact is one in ten million, too small, basically impossible.

  In addition to lottery cards, the system now also has task cards. A task card also requires 800 points, and with a task card, you can accept tasks. However, the task card is random, that is, the task that appears, its difficulty, and its time are all unknown. Even the rewards for completing the task and the penalties for failing the task are unknown.

  Yang Lei thought to himself, whether he should exchange the task card or not. However, apart from this task card and lottery card, there was nothing else that needed to be exchanged at present. There were still two skill books left, but it didn't matter if they had them now or later. As for the medicinal pills, they were extremely ordinary Qi-replenishing Pills, which did have some use.

  After thinking for a long time, Yang Lei still decided to take a gamble and exchanged 1,600 points for a lottery card and a task card.

  "Ding, congratulations player on obtaining a lottery card."

  "Ding, congratulations player, you have obtained a task card."

  The task card doesn't need to be opened now, so the lottery card naturally needs to be opened to see how one's luck is.

  "Whether to enable lottery card for lottery?"

  "Participate in the lottery."

  As soon as the voice fell, the system screen changed and a large roulette wheel appeared.

  There are thirty-six compartments in the wheel, eighteen of which have something in them, while the other eighteen are completely empty, meaning that if the pointer points to these places, there will be no reward.

  And in the other eighteen slots, nine of them are not silver coins, but experience points.

  These things are not very effective for Yang Lei, with a maximum of 1,000 silver coins and very few experience points, at most 5,000. So these nine empty spaces are what Yang Lei doesn't want to draw.

  The remaining nine squares are what Yang Lei can benefit from, which is equivalent to saying that the probability of winning is one in four.
