176: 【Zhao Gongming】 or 【Sun Wukong】? (asking for monthly ticket)

Meanwhile, in a temporary Undead stronghold, a dozen or so Undead were excitedly looking at the purple zenith ancient ginseng they had just snatched.

Unlike Jiang Yuan, who would need to find someone to crack the Backpack Card after leaving, there was an Undead among their current companions who could do just that.

So, as soon as they arrived at the camp, they couldn't wait to crack open the Backpack Card and take out the purple zenith ancient ginseng.

Although there were other good things inside, they all paled in comparison to the purple zenith ancient ginseng.

“Is this the purple zenith ancient ginseng that can further enhance our Royal family’s talent?”

An Undead Archer looked at the purple zenith ancient ginseng in front of him and asked curiously.

The purple zenith ancient ginseng was shaped like a ginseng root, but it was translucent purple, with dense patterns visible inside.

Generally speaking, this kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure could be consumed directly.

Consuming it would yield effects.

However, it only had an effect on certain races or in specific situations.

After all, this was only a red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure.

“Yes, if we can offer it to the Royal family, we might even be able to join the Royal Guard.”

The Undead holding the purple zenith ancient ginseng was a little excited: “If we are fortunate enough to be favored by one of the Undead princes, it would be even better to become part of their Royal squad.”

The Undead holding the purple zenith ancient ginseng smiled happily. Although this purple zenith ancient ginseng was obtained by all of them together, their seven-person squad might even be able to join the Royal squad.

Of course, it would most likely be a trial opportunity.

But that was enough; the Royal family would not let them suffer a loss anyway.

After the purple zenith ancient ginseng was handed over to the Royal family, the trial was just an extra benefit. If they gave it to them, it would be at a 20% markup from the market price.

Most importantly, if they didn't want star spirit stones, they could also choose to receive materials!

So no matter what, they wouldn't lose out.

This was why, after obtaining the purple zenith ancient ginseng, their first thought was to hand it over to the Royal family.

The Royal family gaining the purple zenith ancient ginseng could enhance their innate abilities.

As for himself, he was just an ordinary Undead, and eating the purple zenith ancient ginseng would have no effect whatsoever.

This special type of heavenly material and earthly treasure was different from other heavenly material and earthly treasures.

For example, some heavenly material and earthly treasure could completely allow the consumer to advance a small stage.

Although there were limitations, it wasn't like the purple zenith ancient ginseng, which had restrictions on the target population.

The restriction on the target population was what made him most helpless.

“But I heard that someone from the Royal family has come to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield?”

“Who? How is that possible?”

“If you're talking about this Ten Thousand Races Battlefield we're in right now, the only one with suitable strength would be His Highness the Third Prince, but didn't he just break through not long ago?”

An Undead Archer asked curiously: “With his current strength coming to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, will he…”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I got the news when I came in a few days ago. His Highness the Third Prince has already reached Xuanxiao Middle Stage strength and is said to be on the verge of breaking through to Xuan Xiao Late Stage.”

“No, that fast?”

“Of course! His Highness the Third Prince was originally a genius in the Royal family, but he just didn't cultivate much before.”

“But after coming out of the Human Race's Grotto-Heaven last time, he changed. Not only did he start cultivating diligently, but he also began developing his own influence. I wonder if he's starting to contend for the throne.”

“How could that be? Didn’t His Highness the Third Prince already state that he wouldn’t contend for the throne?”

“But he fell in love with a human girl.”

An Undead Summoner looked around and, seeing that everyone was gossiping and no one else was listening, continued.

“It is said that he fell in love with a human girl when he went to the Human Race battlefield last time, and then, for some reason, he insisted on marrying her. But you all understand the Royal family; only by becoming the most prominent one can you be unaffected by others.”

“Tsk tsk, striving hard for love. It seems our Third Prince is also a man of passion.”

Seeing everyone show expressions of admiration and interest, the Undead Summoner who had just started gossiping's eyes flashed with brilliance.

Mission accomplished!

He was Ancient Capital Si Dan's subordinate, and his mission was to spread this news.

This would make His Highness the Third Prince's persona more down-to-earth and give him a reason to strive, so that in the future struggle for the Royal throne, he could also claim a moral high ground.

You are all for the throne, while I am for my own love!

It is well known that, regardless of race, there is a natural goodwill towards a person with ideals who strives unyieldingly.

What's more, this person was someone they had “watched grow up” and watched reach this point step by step, so they would naturally choose to support him.

Because he hadn't had this idea before and hadn't extensively courted the ministers of various races, he could only start from their second generation and public sentiment.

[But I need to find a way to notify His Highness the Third Prince and have him arrive as soon as possible. His Highness the Third Prince should have already entered the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield by now.]

After some thought, the Undead Summoner took advantage of the others still gossiping and not paying attention to him, quickly materialized a Summoning Card.

After writing down everything here and handing it to the Summoning Card he had just materialized, the Undead woodlouse burrowed underground and quickly advanced towards the Undead gathering place.

The Undead Summoner also returned to the gossip circle as if nothing had happened.

...

...

“Take a break?”

“Sure.”

Jiang Yuan nodded. Although he wasn't tired, he was a bit restless.

It was just that the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast beneath him couldn't brake on its own like a motorcycle.

But even so, with Shi Ji sitting behind him, Jiang Yuan, who could vaguely feel Shi Ji's alluring figure, was deeply moved.

What a pity, the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast was too good at controlling its speed; it almost never had to brake suddenly.

Seeing Shi Ji get off the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast, Jiang Yuan also clicked his tongue regretfully.

When they had just set off, Shi Ji had called out to him because of this.

No choice, the Black Flame Bone Horse was simply too slow. s

Although, strictly speaking, with the bonus from the Taia Sword, the Xuan Xiao Late Stage Black Flame Bone Horse was no longer slow.

But that also depended on who it was compared to.

Nezha's Wind Fire Wheels were out of the question.

Three out of four skills were for acceleration; there was simply no way to compare.

And the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast?

It was originally Jiang Yuan's mount for escaping, so its speed naturally couldn't be slow.

Its ultimate sprint speed was even stronger than the Wind Fire Wheels, although it wasn't sustainable.

Then the only one left to compare with was Mu Qianshan.

But Mu Qianshan's was a mechanical mount card, and its peak speed could even reach half of the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast's.

Overall, it was still much faster than her Black Flame Bone Horse.

Even after her Black Flame Bone Horse reached Xuan Xiao Late Stage, it was still slower than Mu Qianshan's airship.

Then Shi Ji broke down and directly sacrificed her Black Flame Bone Horse.

“By the way, where are those Undead? Why haven't we found them yet?”

Mu Qianshan sat down and asked, looking in the direction those people had just pointed.

The current terrain was rocky, and although there were mountains blocking the view, it was still quite open, as there were no forests or plants.

But even so, they hadn't seen any traces of the Undead.

“No rush, let's keep looking ahead.”

Jiang Yuan calmly took a sip of tea. He seemed to be experiencing the joy of Jiang Yuan No. 2.

A cup of tea at this time could indeed soothe one's mood.

“Anyway, I didn't have too much hope for the purple zenith ancient ginseng.”

Jiang Yuan smiled. As a descendant of Yan Huang, he always believed in relying on himself.

It was fine if he got the purple zenith ancient ginseng, and it didn't matter if he didn't. He already had a solution for his body's problem.

It was just a matter of whether the current solution could be used.

But even if it couldn't be used, he still had a backup plan.

“Alright, then no rush.”

Mu Qianshan also sat down, reached for a cup on the tea tray in front of Jiang Yuan, and poured himself a cup of tea.

“I don't know why you brought this tea set to the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield?” Mu Qianshan shook her head and then tasted it.

“But it's not bad.”

Jiang Yuan also tasted the tea. This wasn't something he wanted to bring, but something Jiang Yuan No. 2 wanted to bring.

After all, he had already agreed with Jiang Yuan No. 2 that as long as there was danger, he would return to the gathering place and let Jiang Yuan No. 2 take his place in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

The Clone Card was indeed very useful.

It just couldn't be crafted, or rather, a second Clone Card couldn't be used simultaneously.

Otherwise, he would make hundreds of Clone Cards!

Hundreds of clones cultivating at the same time, just thinking about it was exciting!

However, cultivating with Clone Cards also had drawbacks.

Only Jiang Yuan could use it this way. If others used it this way, their spirits could easily be overwhelmed by the clone's consciousness.

But Jiang Yuan No. 2 was different. Jiang Yuan No. 2 focused more on Card Creator. With his spiritual power also increasing, after the clone made contact, the increase in the main body's spiritual power could easily withstand the impact brought by the clone's consciousness.

This was why Jiang Yuan could use the Clone Card for such a long time.

Jiang Yuan didn't speak, and the scene quieted down.

Mu Qianshan was contemplating the location of the Undead and the situation of the purple zenith ancient ginseng.

Jiang Yuan, however, was thinking about his next Summoning Card.

Should he create Zhao Gongming?

Or Sun Wukong?

Or Erlang Shen.

After all, their current combat strength was still relatively lacking.

Although they were said to be invincible among their peers, it wasn't always possible to cultivate to the late stage of every phase and then enter the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield of that phase.

Some Grotto-Heavens didn't distinguish levels, and similarly, some Ten Thousand Races Battlefield didn't distinguish levels either.

It was still fine now; he could basically buy any materials he wanted or obtain them by posting quests.

But after red quality cards and even higher-grade red quality cards, they couldn't simply be bought with money.

Or rather, it would be difficult to buy them with money.

You might not necessarily find the card you need, or even the card you need might be in the hands of other races.

At such times, you would need to go to Grotto-Heavens or the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield to obtain them yourself.

Of course, he could also post quests using star spirit stones like other Card Creator.

As long as he could afford to wait for that time.

But clearly, Jiang Yuan didn't like waiting.

It would be fine if it was because he couldn't create the cards himself, but if it was because of the Card Creator materials, then that would be a problem.

Especially when he knew where the Card Creator materials were, but just couldn't bring them back in time.

My combat strength is weak, but Nezha and the others are strong!

Although Nezha and the others needed Jiang Yuan to lead them, comparatively speaking, his combat strength should be stronger than that of those quest-taking teams.

Jiang Yuan pondered, but didn't make a decision.

He could only wait and see what Card Creator materials he would obtain then.

red quality cards were already very rare.

He could still buy blue quality cards if he wanted to, but red quality cards usually required waiting or encountering them.

“Awooo!”

Just as Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan were deep in thought, Nezha suddenly lay on the ground and howled at the distant mountain peak.

Nezha's howl made Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan both shiver involuntarily, startled.

Shi Ji, on the other hand, lowered her head in shame, covering her face with her hands.

How embarrassing!

I want to revoke your Card Spirit status, Nezha!

I'm not worthy!

I'm not worthy of existing in this world as a Card Spirit like you!

“Alright, the tea's cold. Let's continue.”

Jiang Yuan was a bit helpless. When he drank the tea again, he realized it had already gone cold while he was thinking.

Pouring out the tea in his cup, Jiang Yuan said to Mu Qianshan.

“Okay, let's go.”

Mu Qianshan was also a bit helpless; Nezha's sudden howl had indeed given him quite a fright.

His hairs stood on end from the shock.

“Shi Ji, let's ride together.”

Reaching out and calling over the swaying Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast, Jiang Yuan said to Shi Ji.

“Okay.”

Shi Ji nodded. Nezha, hearing that they were about to set off, also excitedly summoned his Wind Fire Wheels, stepped onto them, and soared into the sky.

“Hey, Mu Qianshan, I think I saw those Undead.”

Nezha had only been soaring for a short while before he returned to Jiang Yuan's front.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan was trying to persuade Shi Ji to hold onto his waist, as the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast was too fast.

But Shi Ji didn't make any move or say anything, just quietly looked at Jiang Yuan with a smiling gaze.

Jiang Yuan felt a bit awkward, especially with Mu Qianshan watching them like he was enjoying a show.

It was fortunate that Nezha came over, which helped him out of the situation.

“You saw them?”

“Yes, just over that mountain. They're there.”

Nezha nodded excitedly: “Do you want me to go over and wipe them all out directly!”

“Let's go together.”

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment before rejecting Nezha's idea of charging ahead.

“I should understand the Undead by now, right? They shouldn't have any other tricks, should they?”

Nezha looked at Jiang Yuan with some doubt, then immediately became self-righteous.

“Mu Qianshan, when are you going to break through?!”
