60: Chapter 60 Advanced Spirit Detector
【 Current cultivation value is 1790 points. Intermediate draw unlocked. One draw costs 1000 cultivation value. Would you like to experience it? 】
Intermediate draw?
Li Yu's heart stirred, and he asked, "Can I see what the prizes are?"
As soon as the words fell, stars of golden light appeared before him. The golden light swirled and gathered, forming a small turntable. The pointer was fixed at the 12 o'clock position, and there were many things on it.
mid-grade universal evolution card (41%), High-Rank Spirit Probing Hand (15%), god-tier evolution scheme (1%), Fire Spirit Beast Egg (7%), Obsidian Gold Crystal (17%)...
Li Yu was dazzled, his eyes spinning. He wanted so many of these things.
Beast Egg.
And it should be a rare beast egg. Even if he didn't use it, selling it would be worth a lot of money.
High-Rank Spirit Probing Hand, exactly what he lacked. However, this thing could only be considered average. After all, he had evolution cards; he could cultivate beast pets whether he had a Spirit Probing Hand or not.
The Spirit Probing Hand was more of a cover for him to use the cards. High-Rank was just a more concealed cover, nothing more.
mid-grade universal evolution card... Undoubtedly, a good thing!
The god-tier evolution scheme was the greatest treasure. If he could get it now, he might be able to use it for his sister's Northward Sable.
But thinking of the required cultivation value, Li Yu calmed down again.
1000 cultivation value for one draw.
Not exactly cheap.
"Woo~"
Suddenly, Li Yu's ankle was nudged by something furry. He looked down and saw his sister's Northward Sable. It was squinting its eyes, looking as if it were smiling.
Li Yu placed his hand on the ground. The Northward Sable walked over, sat on his hand, allowed him to lift it onto his lap, curled up its body, and began to purr.
Just like a cat.
Li Yu stroked it twice, enjoying the silkiness in his hand, then took a deep breath and said, "For the sake of you being so well-behaved, let's make a bet!"
The Northward Sable opened its eyes in confusion, not knowing what Li Yu was rambling about or what he wanted to bet on.
Ever since Li Yu could communicate with beasts and expressed its dislike for wearing clothes to Li Meng, allowing it to escape the predicament of being a "clothed beast," it had become closer to Li Yu.
"System, initiate one intermediate draw," Li Yu said.
The system did not answer, but a sound of gold coins clattering away rang out, making Li Yu's liver ache. Then, the pointer on the turntable began to turn slowly.
Gradually, the pointer sped up, faster and faster, until Li Yu's eyes began to swirl and he felt dizzy.
When he sobered up, the pointer in front of him had slowed down.
The needle swept past the Obsidian Gold Crystal;
passed the Fire Spirit Beast Egg;
passed the mid-grade evolution card;
Li Yu sat up straight, holding his breath subconsciously. His fists were clenched on his legs, his gaze locked tightly on the pointer in front of him.
The pointer arrived at High-Rank Spirit Probing Hand, still a little distance away from the god-tier evolution scheme.
Keep going, keep going...
Li Yu shouted in his heart.
The pointer seemed to hear his call, stubbornly inching forward, but in the end, it stopped at a spot just one needle-width away from the god-tier evolution scheme.
It stopped.
【 Congratulations to the host for drawing "High-Rank Spirit Probing Hand". The reward will be issued automatically. Please sit tight and hold on. 】
"Just a little bit, just a little bit..." Li Yu sighed unwillingly. As for what the system said about "sitting tight and holding on," he didn't care.
It was just a skill, what could be the big deal? The previous "Mastery of Ten Thousand Languages" just made its throat feel a little cooler.
As soon as the thought arose, suddenly, Li Yu felt a sharp pain in his head, as if someone had taken a chainsaw and forcibly sawed open his skull.
Li Yu groaned, his whole body twitching uncontrollably, startling the Northward Sable into jumping to the floor, its fur standing on end, "Woo-woo" calling out.
It was asking what was wrong with Li Yu.
But Li Yu's face was twisted, covered in sweat, and his whole body was shaking as if he had Parkinson's, unable to respond to it at all.
He felt his head being sawed open, something being stuffed in, exploding inside his head, a large mass of brain matter turning into pulp, churning around...
Li Yu immediately felt the world spinning, and he fell backward onto the sofa.
...
I don't know how much time passed, but a burst of crying woke Li Yu up.
He opened his eyes and saw his sister looking at him with tears streaming down her face. The Northward Sable also looked worried.
"I..." Li Yu's voice was hoarse, as if his entire throat had been tied into a dead knot.
"Brother!" Seeing him wake up, Li Meng burst into tears, asking with a worried face, "How are you? Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable? I, I called an ambulance, it will be here soon."
Li Yu didn't rush to answer. He closed his eyes, feeling his swollen head.
His skull wasn't sawed open, and his brain hadn't turned into pulp. He was still alive, just with some extra things in his head, things so complex they dazzled him.
When he opened his eyes again, a flash of sharpness crossed them.
High-Rank Spirit Probing Hand.
It seemed... not as simple as he had imagined.
This ability wasn't something he mastered instantly; rather, it was like an information packet forcibly stuffed into his mind, requiring him to absorb and learn it bit by bit.
Just from a rough understanding, he discovered that this High-Rank Spirit Probing Hand was more than a hundred or a thousand times more exquisite than an ordinary Spirit Probing Hand.
It was like... the difference between a professor and an elementary school student.
The High-Rank Spirit Probing Hand was not just about checking the physical condition of a beast pet; it also involved checking free-roaming spiritual energy, checking enemy and friendly auras, checking mental states, physical bodies, etc. It seemed capable of checking everything he could think of.
What an amazing skill!
"Brother, Brother, are you okay? Don't scare me."
Hearing his sister's worried words, Li Yu slowly came back to his senses and smiled, "I'm fine, I've just been a little tired these past few days, and I just slept for a while."
Seeing that his sister was still worried, Li Yu stood up, turned around, and did a bodybuilding pose. Unfortunately, he was too thin, and it looked a bit comical.
The good thing was that his sister was reassured.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door was kicked open by brute force.
A sturdy doctor in a white coat rushed in, shouting with a voice like a loudspeaker: "Where is that unconscious Senior Cultivator?!"
When Li Meng called the ambulance earlier, to get the doctor to arrive faster, she had specifically emphasized that a Senior Cultivator had fainted.
Li Yu maintained his bodybuilding pose, and his sister also looked at the doctor blankly.
The doctor didn't care about that and pointed at Li Yu, shouting: "Young man, stop posing! You're as thin as a chick! Tell me where the patient is quickly."
A, a chick?
Li Yu blinked.
In the end, Li Meng stood up, explained the situation to the doctor, and clarified the misunderstanding, which settled the matter.
When the doctors learned the situation and confirmed that Li Yu really was a Senior Cultivator, they were all polite and did not show any dissatisfaction. They didn't even charge him for the ambulance trip.
They only told Li Yu that if he wanted to get sick, he must go to their hospital, where they would give him a 20% discount.
This made Li Yu so angry he almost broke the doctor's bones on the spot.
On the other side.
After overcoming many difficulties—crossing roads, crossing buildings, digging tunnels, climbing water pipes, and a series of adventures—the Spirit Probing Armor finally returned to its former home, covered in dirt.
It was its former owner's house.
It stopped at the door, heard the laughter inside, and also heard the happy cries of another beast pet.
Its heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough... he still had a new beast pet.
Although bitter in its heart, the Spirit Probing Armor did not feel very surprised. This time, it didn't want to return to its owner's side; it just wanted to come and say goodbye.
It wanted to tell this former owner that it was not trash that couldn't evolve, nor was it someone who had no one to care about it.
The Spirit Probing Armor's eyes were firm.
Li Yu's figure seemed to appear in its pupils.
