166: Card making [Hun Tian Ling] [Tai A Sword]! (Combined chapter, asking for monthly ticket)

“He still hasn't made a move after all this time?”

“No, he’s still going about his business as usual at the academy.”

“What about Mu Qianshan?”

“Haven't seen him recently. He’s been at home and hasn't come out.”

“A flower in a greenhouse!”

A furious shout, and the room fell silent once more.

...

...

“Don't bother me, I'm making cards.”

“Theoretically speaking, it seems I can also make cards,” Jiang Yuan No. 2 said to Jiang Yuan, touching his chin.

“Alright, then I’ll make the Huntian Ribbon, and you make the Taia Sword.”

“Forget it, forget it. I’ll just continue making my order cards.” Jiang Yuan No. 2 waved his hand and resumed making cards.

“Alright then.”

Jiang Yuan nodded and began preparing to make cards.

Today, he planned to make Nezha's Huntian Ribbon and Shi Ji's Taia Sword together.

Jiang Yuan calmed his mind and adjusted his state before entering his consciousness space.

The drawing was simple: the background was the sea, and the Huntian Ribbon appeared above the sea.

As the Huntian Ribbon stirred, a whirlpool appeared in the center of the sea.

Golden cloud patterns were clearly visible on the Huntian Ribbon.

Jiang Yuan also adorned it with various patterns of the sun, moon, stars, and the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit, following the mythological descriptions of the Huntian Ribbon.

Once the patterns on the Huntian Ribbon were complete, Jiang Yuan began to sign it.

Just like when he made the Qiankun Circle, after signing, the card shimmered, and Jiang Yuan's heart settled.

The signature was fine; next were the card materials.

First was the S-grade blue quality material card, 【Star Gold】.

S-grade blue quality material card, 【Dream Silk】.

S-grade blue quality material card, 【Vibration Source Iron】.

S-grade blue quality material card, 【Life Fire Tree Heart】.

As the four material cards merged, the pattern on the card shone even brighter.

Even the Jade Rabbit and Golden Crow on the Huntian Ribbon seemed to come alive.

Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief at the sight.

According to what he had learned recently, this appearance should be a sign of successful card creation.

Sure enough, the next second, the blue card in front of Jiang Yuan began to glow.

Huntian Ribbon!

Creation successful!

After stopping the excited Nezha beside him, Jiang Yuan took the Huntian Ribbon card in his hand and looked at it.

“Mu Qianshan, Mu Qianshan, let me see!”

As soon as Jiang Yuan finished reading the Huntian Ribbon's information, Nezha, who was beside him, couldn't help but shout at Jiang Yuan.

“Here, here.”

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but find it amusing, looking at Nezha's anxious but hesitant expression.

“Alright, you go look. I’m going to make Shi Ji's Taia Sword next.”

After handing the card to Nezha, Jiang Yuan began making cards again.

His current state was good, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Incidentally, there was one more card that also needed to be made.

Jiang Yuan started making cards again, while Nezha was already happily playing with the Huntian Ribbon.

Jiang Yuan No. 2, who was beside him, had already been pulled out by Nezha and, somewhat helplessly, took out the Qiankun Circle card as Nezha requested.

“No, I'm also making cards. Why can you bother me?”

“Mu Qianshan, you're the best~”

Looking at Nezha's expression, Jiang Yuan No. 2 pursed his lips and still materialized the Qiankun Circle for him.

“Shi Ji looks better than you.”

Jiang Yuan No. 2 silently grumbled, then, without looking at Shi Ji's expression, re-entered the Gathering Star Array to make cards.

In just a moment, Jiang Yuan successfully made the card.

However, even though Jiang Yuan had successfully made the card, his expression was still a bit strange.

Shi Ji's Taia Sword, why did it feel like it couldn't compare to Nezha's weapon?

Was it because it was inherently inferior?

Or for some other reason?

Looking at the Taia Sword's information, Jiang Yuan felt quite perplexed.

However, Shi Ji didn't seem to care about any of this. After Jiang Yuan made the Taia Sword, she excitedly performed a sword flourish.

“Not bad, not bad.”

Shi Ji smiled and nodded, looking very happy.

Seeing Shi Ji like this, Jiang Yuan no longer dwelled on it.

As long as Shi Ji was satisfied, that was enough.

“Alright, you two play at home. I’m going to class.”

After successfully making all three cards, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel happy.

He waved at the two of them and went to class.

Today was still his master's class.

Although he didn't manage to grab a spot, it was fine; his master had saved him a seat.

“Okay, come back early!”

Nezha excitedly waved at Jiang Yuan, then began to ponder how to coax Jiang Yuan No. 2 into going out together.

He wanted to go out and test the power of his Huntian Ribbon.

Nezha stroked his chin in thought, while Shi Ji, who was beside him, merely glanced at Nezha and understood his intentions.

“Just stay at home obediently. Wait until Jiang Yuan comes back to take us out to battle.”

“Huh? Why?”

Nezha was puzzled, but Shi Ji had no intention of explaining to him.

...

...

“Jiang Yuan, have you made those cards you mentioned wanting to make the other day?”

Li Yueying asked Jiang Yuan this question just as class was about to end.

“Several cards? What kind of cards? Can you tell us?”

As soon as Li Yueying finished speaking, a senior student from the third year asked Jiang Yuan and Li Yueying with some curiosity.

“That depends on Jiang Yuan’s decision.”

Li Yueying smiled, subtly gesturing towards Jiang Yuan as she spoke.

“This... it doesn’t seem like something that needs to be hidden?” Jiang Yuan stood up and tentatively asked Li Yueying.

He didn't know if Li Yueying meant for him to say it or to keep it a secret.

“If you think it doesn’t need to be hidden, how about I tell them for you?”

After spending this time together, Li Yueying had noticed that Jiang Yuan seemed to have a somewhat socially anxious side.

That's why she offered to speak for him.

If Jiang Yuan didn't need to hide it.

“Mhm, okay.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, a sigh of relief escaping his chest.

Socially anxious people truly appreciate it when others do the talking for them!

“Jiang Yuan came to me and said he wanted to make three cards.”

As a teacher, Li Yueying naturally began to explain with ease.

“First is an equipment card that can continuously restore Star Power. You should have seen this one. Last time when I was teaching, I had him come up and make a card, and that was the one he made. It’s already been successfully created.”

“The second is also a Skill Card that can continuously restore Star Power, called Nine Breaths Qi Cultivation, right? I remember that name.”

As Li Yueying spoke, she looked at Jiang Yuan and asked.

Jiang Yuan stood up again and nodded: “Yes, that’s it. The full name is San Shi Liu Bian · Jiu Xi Fu Qi.”

“Oh, and that card has also been successfully created. Based on what you told me last time, I made it successfully as soon as I got back.”

Without waiting for Li Yueying to ask, Jiang Yuan proactively told Li Yueying, and as he spoke, a shy smile appeared on his face.

“Is that so? That’s really good. What about the last card then?”

Li Yueying nodded with satisfaction, then continued to ask.

“Although your first two card ideas were very good, the third card was the most surprising to me.”

As Li Yueying spoke, she turned to look at the rest of the class: “Do you want to know what the third card is?”

“Yes!”

Everyone nodded, and Li Yueying, having no intention of playing coy, immediately began to speak.

“He came to me that day, saying he wanted to create a blue quality clone card.”

“Everyone knows that currently, the lowest quality clone card is purple quality, and even purple quality cards don’t have a very good clone effect.”

“They can only be used as a substitute and cannot truly become a fighting force.”

“To truly become a fighting force, at the very least, it needs to reach the red quality card level.”

“So, when Jiang Yuan told me that day that he wanted to create a blue quality clone card, I was quite surprised.”

“What materials do you think are needed to create a blue quality clone card?”

After Li Yueying finished speaking, she looked at everyone.

“Shadow Moon Stone, a blue quality material card, should work, right?”

“Phantom Flower, a flower that can form a phantom in other places, also a blue quality material card!”

“Mirror Crystal, a blue quality material card.”

“Mirror Image Technique, a purple quality Skill Card, plus those just mentioned!”

Upon hearing that last answer, Li Yueying’s face darkened.

“A purple quality Skill Card used to create a blue quality Skill Card? Who said that? What a genius!”

As Li Yueying’s words fell, everyone burst into laughter.

“Alright, let me tell you what cards Jiang Yuan said he wanted to use to create it.”

A smile appeared on Li Yueying’s face. After clapping her hands to signal everyone to quiet down, she said to them,

“Twin-Heart Grass, Split Bean, and Two-Headed Beastman.”

After Li Yueying finished speaking, she looked at everyone: “Do you know why he chose these materials?”

“Is the clone card he’s making intended to be a self-aware clone, like the red quality clone cards?”

Many people present instantly reacted.

Don’t the characteristics of these materials all involve self-awareness, allowing for the splitting off of self-aware material cards?

Could it be that he really wants to create a blue quality, true clone card?

“The Shadow Clone of red quality cards is also made according to this characteristic, but this characteristic may not succeed when applied to blue quality cards.”

“So Jiang Yuan’s card creation failed.”

Li Yueying nodded in agreement, then looked at Jiang Yuan again and asked, “But did you try again after that? Did you succeed? What cards did you use?”

“I tried, but I didn’t succeed.”

Jiang Yuan looked at Li Yueying, shook his head, and said, “I tried all the cards they just mentioned, but I imagine it’s due to the card quality, and none of them ultimately succeeded.”

Jiang Yuan did not reveal that he had successfully created a clone card.

Mainly, he realized it later.

The ability of this clone card is too abnormal.

It truly achieved the ability of a clone.

It is the same entity as him, yet they are two separate entities.

Whatever happens to the clone does not affect his main body.

This ability is too strong.

Once discovered, the method of creating this card would absolutely be fought over frantically.

Summoning Cards are fine; although many people are tempted, it doesn’t reach the point of being indispensable.

But a blue quality clone card is different; this is truly indispensable.

Not only can the separated clone genuinely increase fighting power, but its fighting power is also the same as his, and it can use all of his cards.

This is still acceptable; it would only make people tempted, not crazy.

However, the fact that the cultivation effect of the clone card’s separated clone can also be added to the main body is truly too effective.

You have to know, this is only a blue quality Skill Card!

This means that it can be used as long as one reaches the Star Epoch Middle Stage!

Starting cultivation at double speed from the very beginning, who could refuse such a situation?

Not only for one’s descendants, but also for oneself!

Who doesn’t want to cultivate faster?

Cultivating at double speed directly, it’s likely that not only foreign races, but even humans would be madly tempted!

In this situation, it might truly lead to a scenario where people would spare no expense to get their hands on it.

And the enemies’ sparing no expense would bring Jiang Yuan pain and life-threatening danger.

So, for his own sake, Jiang Yuan would absolutely not choose to expose it.

This was also what he suddenly realized after his battle with Lü Guanchun that day.

Fortunately, his clone was above ground at the time, and his main body was underground, so Lü Guanchun didn’t know this situation.

Otherwise, he would really have to find a way to kill Lü Guanchun.

Even if he were punished for killing Lü Guanchun, it wouldn’t matter; as long as the cost wasn’t too great, he could protect himself by publicly announcing the creation methods of a few Skill Cards.

This would be much better than the situation where his clone Skill Card was discovered.

Of course, because of this, he also created another blue quality card.

【Seventy-Two Transformations - False Form】!

The blue quality False Shape can change one’s appearance.

However, it’s not perfect; as long as it’s attacked, even by residual energy, it will revert to its original form.

Currently, Jiang Yuan is considering creating 【Thirty-Six Transformations - Fetal Transformation】.

The external changes of this would be much more perfect.

As long as he doesn’t die, there’s no possibility of the transformation being broken.

And if Jiang Yuan No. 2 dies, he directly transforms into a card and returns to Jiang Yuan’s consciousness space.

Anyway, cards already bound to Jiang Yuan cannot have their information viewed by others without Jiang Yuan’s permission.

He’ll just say this is his fourth Summoning Card.

Presumably, no one would suspect it.

“Indeed.”

Li Yueying nodded, motioned for Jiang Yuan to sit down, and then looked at everyone again: “Although he didn’t succeed, his idea was correct.”

“So if you have any ideas, try them as much as possible; failure doesn’t matter.”

After Li Yueying finished speaking, she signaled that class was dismissed.

After class ended, Jiang Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, his master didn’t seem to have any suspicions.

Presumably, she also thought that such a card couldn’t be made.

A blue quality clone card...

Jiang Yuan felt a little melancholic, but he really did make it.

After greeting a few second-year students he had recently become familiar with, Jiang Yuan prepared to go home.

“Jiang Yuan, do you plan to go to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield recently?”

Just as Jiang Yuan was about to leave, a third-year student suddenly asked him.

Jiang Yuan looked at the third-year student who had just spoken.

He seemed to have some impression; when his master was teaching last time, he seemed to have also gotten a seat, sitting two rows in front of him.

“I don’t plan to go to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield recently. What’s wrong?”

The third-year student, Zhao Zhuyuan, scratched his head in confusion: “Haven’t you heard that the dongtian secret treasure in the Xuanxiao Stage Ten Thousand Races Battlefield is about to erupt recently? I want a material card, but I don’t know if there will be any.”

“I was thinking that if you were going to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, you could help me keep an eye out.”

Zhao Zhuyuan was a bit embarrassed: “Although I don’t know if that material card will appear, among the second-year students I know, you’re the only one who hasn’t entered the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield yet, so I thought I’d give you a heads-up.”

“Hmm, unfortunately, I don’t have any plans to enter the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.” Jiang Yuan spread his hands helplessly: “Sorry, I can’t help you.”

“No problem, no problem, I just mentioned it casually.”

After Zhao Zhuyuan quickly waved his hand, the two separated.

Jiang Yuan didn’t have any special thoughts, but Zhao Zhuyuan’s expression was a bit bitter.

“I still need to find a way to get him into the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.”

Zhao Zhuyuan pondered, turning his head to look at Jiang Yuan’s retreating figure: “He’s already said this much, yet he didn’t even ask a single question. It seems he really has no intention of entering the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.”

“If not, then I can only start with Mu Qianshan.”

“If Mu Qianshan encounters any danger in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, will you go?”

“As long as Mu Qianshan enters the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, Master should be able to send out a message, right?”

As Zhao Zhuyuan thought, his gaze turned towards the location of Mu Qianshan’s home.

“But what has Mu Qianshan been doing lately? He hasn’t left the house for so long.”
