Lu Zhou shook his head and continued reading.
"Invulnerable?"
"Invulnerable. After use, you'll be immune to damage for 10 seconds. Each card costs 500 merit points."
This item card was not bad.
It was equivalent to being invincible.
However, the duration was too short. It was only ten seconds.
Ten seconds later, he was still under someone's control. If he did not have a good counterattack, this item was not as good as an escape card. Of course, this was not bad. He had to consider the actual situation before using it.
Lu Zhou was not in a hurry to buy the item cards. He continued reading.
"Deadly Strike. After use, you'll gain indescribable power and deal a deadly strike to the target. Each card costs 500 merit points."
Lu Zhou read the item card's description carefully.
As a veteran gamer, he would only obtain certain treasures from killing monsters in the game that came with a sure-kill skill. However, such skills usually had a chance of being triggered. 'This card … has no limit?'
He looked around and saw no other description!
There were no other restrictions.
"Indescribable power … What does it mean?" Lu Zhou pondered.
'No matter what kind of power it is.
Since the item card was described like this, it should not be bad.
'I'll keep it for now …'
"Grade One Defense. After use, all damage is reduced by 90% for 30 seconds. Each card costs 500 merit points."
"Grade Two Defense. After use, all damage is reduced by 60% for 30 seconds. Each card costs 300 merit points."
。
These dozen or so item cards were all defense-type cards.
Based on Lu Zhou's current cultivation base in the Sense Condensing realm, these item cards would not be of much use against a powerful opponent. 'What's the point of defending against 90%? The remaining 10% will kill you.'
He shook his head.
'These cards are not as useful as Impeccable.'
'Wait a minute.
'Why are most of them defensive?
'Are they cowards?
This is not the style of the villainous patriarch! '
He continued reading. There were only a few item cards with question marks on them. He could not even see their detailed descriptions.
He reckoned it was similar to the Thousand Realms Whirling Avatar and the Myriad Supreme where the description and price were hidden.
All veteran gamers knew that this meant that it was high level and powerful.
。
After looking through all the item cards.
Lu Zhou selected three Impeccable Cards and three Deadly Strike Cards.
They were both offensive and defensive.
As for the other Defense Cards, he chose to ignore them.
The best defense was offense.
He spent 3,000 merit points in one go.
However …
Since Lu Zhou's item cards were worth this price, there was nothing for him to feel conflicted about.
Then, how should he spend the remaining 4,540 merit points?
Should I buy some Reversal Cards to restore my life?
His body was the key to stopping his cultivation from recovering, but with more than 4,000 merit points, he could only buy nine of them, which was about 2,700 days of lifespan. Compared to his long lifespan of a thousand years, it was still much shorter.
It was important to note that the Reversal Card emphasized on the word "reversal". It was equivalent to reverse growth and did not mean to extend one's lifespan to an old body.
Then... a lucky draw?
I don't know what's wrong with my brain … The word "lucky draw" came to my mind again.
Based on his previous experience from the lucky draw, Lu Zhou knew that it could be quite deadly if he set up a trap.
"Increasing my cultivation is the most important thing …"
Lu Zhou recalled the scene when he unleashed his Hundred Tribulations Insight. His Eight-leaf Golden Lotus had turned into a Nine-leaf Golden Lotus.
It was the same peak-form experience card, but why were the results different?
"Heavenly Book?"
What kind of cultivation technique was this? It was different from any cultivation technique in his memory. There were no specific moves, no breathing techniques, and no incantations to regulate the meridians and circulate the energy.
"Well … Cultivation is the most important thing. Before that, I'll try some lucky draws."
。
Meanwhile …
Pingdu Mountain, one generation north of Yu Province, west of Great Yan.
This was where the Nether Sect's main altar was located.
In the Nether Great Hall.
"Sect Master, I've found out that the patriarch captured the Derived Moon Palace's Master on his own. None of the experts from the Righteous Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect who invaded Golden Court Mountain survived."
Ahead of them …
A cloud of black mist blocked the Nether Throne and obstructed their view.
A hoarse voice drifted out of the black mist as if it came from hell.
"Got it."
"Sect Master, the Derived Moon Palace's Master was your junior sister. This time, she led the cultivators to besiege the patriarch and was defeated. The Yun Sect, the Tian Sect, and the Luo Sect are furious. They swore to sacrifice the Derived Moon Palace to their dead disciples. Do you want us to help? "
The Nether Great Hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
After a moment of silence, a voice rang out of the black mist.
"They brought it upon themselves. There's no need to ask."
"Yes, Sect Master."
The subordinate bowed and cupped his fists before he continued, "I have another report."
"Speak."
"Sect Master, our spy in the Imperial family reported that Lady Jade plans to flatten Golden Court Mountain. She even tried to persuade the Emperor to mobilize the Imperial guards."
"What happened next?"
"Great Yan's Emperor punished Lady Jade and grounded her for three months."
The black mist was silent.
It seemed to be thinking about something.
After a short while …
"There are frequent wars in Great Yan. The Imperial guards are the force that protects the capital. How can they be mobilized so easily? Lady Jade's actions are akin to shooting herself in the foot. However … "
The voice paused for a moment before it continued, "Lady Jade is from the western regions. She's a member of the Other Tribes. Keep a close eye on her."
"This subordinate obeys the Cult Master's orders."
"Also …" The voice rang out of the black mist again. The subordinate hastily cupped his fists and listened. "The Sword Freak likes to spar. There are many elites in the Clarity Dao Sect. Let him go … If he encounters the Sword Devil, avoid him."
"I'll see to it right away."
。
In front of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Duanmu Sheng, Little Yuan 'er, and the others waited anxiously in the courtyard. They were like ants on a hot pan.
When the sun was setting, their master still did not appear.
"It's normal for Master to rest and recuperate after this battle. Little Junior Sister … Stop. I'm dizzy from being shaken by you." Duanmu Sheng rubbed his head.
Zhou Jifeng said respectfully, "Old Senior's divine might is unparalleled. He'll be fine. Look at how bright this barrier is … "
Little Yuan 'er rolled her eyes at him and said, "Nonsense."
Ye Tianxin did not think much of it. She said softly, "If I were you, I'd go in and have a look … I'm old. If something happens …"
Whizz!
The sound of gears moving rang out from inside the Evil Sky Pavilion.
At the same time, a familiar majestic voice rang out.
"Come in and talk."
Everyone shuddered, including Ye Tianxin. All their exhaustion was gone.
Little Yuan 'er walked over with a smile. She grabbed Ye Tianxin's shoulder and said, "Let's see how Master will punish you!"
Lu Zhou walked out of the hidden chamber and stood in the pavilion with his hands on his back.
The others entered the Evil Sky Pavilion.
"Greetings, Master!"
"Greetings, Master!"
"Greetings, Old Senior!"
Ye Tianxin, on the other hand, was thrown to the ground. She looked up, somewhat indignant. She wanted to see the old man's face, but she could only see his back.
Lu Zhou did not respond.
He paced to the left and stroked his beard to the right.
"Master?" Little Yuan 'er asked cautiously.
At this moment, Lu Zhou muttered, "Why can't I get any …"
