In Jiang Yuan’s expectant gaze, the last material card merged into the card in front of him.

As the purple light grew more intense, in just an instant, after a dazzling flash, a card with a purple patterned border appeared before Jiang Yuan.

Purple quality Summoning Card!

Jiang Yuan smiled, reaching out to pick up the card slowly rotating in front of him.

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment looking at the information on the card in his hand.

Would Supreme Lord Lao still be Doushuai Palace Lord Supreme Lord Lao after advancement?

There was no change in the prefix or anything.

He had originally thought that after advancing to a gold quality card, he could advance to Taiqing Moral Celestial Venerable.

As expected, he had overthought it.

Such power probably couldn’t be contained by a mere gold quality card, right?

However…

After a moment of stunned, a surprised smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's face.

He had originally thought it was only for pill refining, but he hadn't expected it could also be used for artifact forging.

Indeed, Supreme Lord Lao was also very proficient in artifact forging.

Things like the Nine-Toothed Rake, Golden Bracelet, Plantain Fan, and Seven Stars Sword, weren't they all forged by Laojun?

This buy-one-get-one-free was even more surprising.

“Did it succeed?”

Before Jiang Yuan could look up, Nezha’s voice came from beside him.

Jiang Yuan looked up and saw that not only Nezha, but also Shi Ji and Zhao Gongming were staring curiously at the purple quality card in Jiang Yuan’s hand.

“Of course it succeeded!”

Jiang Yuan proudly held up the card in his hand and waved it in front of the three of them.

“Who am I? How could I fail to create a small purple quality card?”

Listening to Jiang Yuan’s proud tone, Nezha secretly pouted.

He wondered who it was that kept failing to create cards back then, losing all his family fortune.

However, Nezha would never say such a thing; there was no need to get scolded or receive a glare for no reason.

“Quick, let us see who the new teammate is!”

Nezha quickly cast aside that hint of disdain for Jiang Yuan's stubbornness and excitedly asked Jiang Yuan.

Previously, Jiang Yuan had said he would create a new teammate for them, but because of repeated failures, he never told them who the new teammate was.

Now that it had finally succeeded, they could see it this time, right?

“Alright, I’ll let you see now.”

Jiang Yuan smiled and injected Star Power into the purple quality card in his hand.

As the Star Power was injected, the purple light also intensified.

The next second, the card in Jiang Yuan’s hand disappeared, and an elderly man with white hair and a white beard, possessing an immortal aura and holding a whisk, appeared before everyone.

“Laojun!”

Nezha, Shi Ji, and Zhao Gongming were simultaneously startled, then respectfully bowed.

Putting everything else aside, purely in terms of seniority, Zhao Gongming and Shi Ji both had to address him as Martial Uncle.

And Nezha was even worse off; he had to call him Martial Grandfather.

Of course, this was based on Supreme Lord Lao's hidden identity, not his identity as Supreme Lord Lao.

As for his identity as Laojun, they could simply address him as Fellow Daoist.

Supreme Lord Lao opened his eyes and first saw Jiang Yuan.

Then, hearing Nezha’s voice, he turned to look at the three of them, and a sharp glint flashed in Laojun’s eyes. He instantly understood the current situation.

“So I am the fourth one?”

Supreme Lord Lao chuckled softly, then looked at Jiang Yuan.

“Uh…”

Seeing the immortal-like Supreme Lord Lao in front of him, Jiang Yuan’s mouth moved twice, suddenly not knowing what to call him.

If he directly called him Supreme Lord Lao, the pressure from Laojun in front of him was too strong. Calling him by name directly felt unutterable and somewhat impolite.

“Haha, you’re Mu Qianshan, right? You can just call me Taishang or Laojun.”

Supreme Lord Lao gently waved his whisk, then rested it on his arm, and spoke gently to Jiang Yuan.

After the whisk swept past, Jiang Yuan immediately felt the pressure emanating from Supreme Lord Lao disappear.

“Whew, then I’ll call you Laojun.”

“Alright.”

Laojun nodded, smiling as he looked at Jiang Yuan.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate and immediately took out all the heavenly material and earthly treasure from his Backpack Card.

Besides a dozen or so blue quality heavenly material and earthly treasure, there were also thirty-seven purple quality heavenly material and earthly treasure and one red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure.

“Laojun, can you take a look if you can refine pills?”

“Pill refining, huh? This task is quite easy.”

Laojun murmured, his gaze sweeping over the heavenly material and earthly treasure on the ground, then he nodded to Jiang Yuan.

“Of course I can, but there’s no pill furnace right now, so the success rate of pill refining is very low.”

“Hmm, Bagua Furnace? I can make one.”

“You also know artifact forging?”

Supreme Lord Lao seemed somewhat surprised, looking at Jiang Yuan and asking happily.

“Uh, I guess so.”

As soon as Jiang Yuan nodded, Nezha’s voice came from the side.

“He does! My Fire Tipped Spear, Wind Fire Wheels, and Qiankun Circle were all forged by Mu Qianshan.”

“My Steel Whip too.”

“My Tai’a Sword as well.”

After Nezha finished speaking, Zhao Gongming and Shi Ji also spoke up.

“Is that so? Would it be convenient for me to observe your forging technique?”

Laojun nodded, then looked at Jiang Yuan with anticipation and asked him.

“Of course.”

Although Jiang Yuan was a bit embarrassed, he still nodded and agreed.

This situation was like you just entered elementary school, and then suddenly a national treasure-level scientist said he wanted to see your process of making a small windmill.

Although, it was really nerve-wracking.

“Just in time, I’m about to create a Binding Dragon Rope for Zhao Gongming. You can give some pointers.”

“Binding Dragon Rope, ah, good, good, good.”

Supreme Lord Lao stroked his beard, glanced at Zhao Gongming with a smile in his eyes, then focused his gaze on Jiang Yuan.

“The way we create equipment here is a bit different from your artifact forging technique. Here, everything is based on cards as the medium.”

“Hmm, I know that.”

“You know?”

After Supreme Lord Lao finished speaking, Jiang Yuan’s hand, which was reaching for a card, paused, then he looked at Laojun in confusion.

“Oh, I was originally summoned here as a Card Spirit, so of course I know it’s based on cards.”

Supreme Lord Lao showed an embarrassed smile, gently waved his whisk, and explained to Jiang Yuan.

“Oh, I see.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, not paying much attention, and directly took out the several cards he had prepared.

“Although we don’t need various materials as raw materials for card creation here, we still need some raw materials that match the equipment’s characteristics.”

“For example, the Binding Dragon Rope I’m going to create has the characteristics of a rope, binding, flexible expansion, and hitting.”

“So the four material cards chosen are steel chains that combine softness and sturdiness, a glazed lock that can bind and control opponents, and spring steel with extremely strong elasticity, along with the Skill Card ‘Lockdown’—these four cards.”

After Jiang Yuan introduced his four material cards, he began to create.

“Next, we will construct a blank card in the consciousness space, then draw and sign it. After both of these are approved, this card can basically take shape.”

“Although I don’t know how you create weapons and equipment, however…”

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he closed his eyes. Under Supreme Lord Lao’s expectant gaze, in just a moment, Jiang Yuan opened his eyes, and a card with no color appeared in his hand.

“This is the blank card, and on it are my drawing and signature for the Binding Dragon Rope.”

“Interesting.”

Supreme Lord Lao nodded, then motioned for Jiang Yuan to continue.

Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate and began to fuse the four prepared material cards into this blank card one by one.

“It’s important to note that the final quality of the card depends on the material cards used. The better the material cards used, the better the quality of the final card.”

“Of course, for some card creations, because the original is too strong and the current card quality cannot accommodate it, either some functions must be cut, or it simply cannot be created.”

Supreme Lord Lao nodded, watching as the four cards were fused one by one into the blank card in Jiang Yuan’s hand.

As all four cards were fused, the blank card in Jiang Yuan’s hand also began to glow.

In a moment, the purple light flashed intensely, then subsided into calmness.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it finally succeeded. It was very nerve-wracking to create a card in front of a big shot for the first time.

“So that’s how it is.”

Supreme Lord Lao nodded, a look of interest on his face.

“Hmm, give me Bagua, a furnace cauldron, and Six Ding Divine Fire. Laojun wants to personally create a Bagua Furnace!”

Looking at the energetic Supreme Lord Lao in front of him, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but be surprised.

But he quickly relaxed.

After all, this was Supreme Lord Lao, so perfect comprehension was no problem at all.

However…

“I do have cauldron-type material cards prepared, but the Bagua and Six Ding Divine Fire will need to be created from scratch.”

“Alright, how do we make them? I’ll help you.”

Supreme Lord Lao smiled confidently: “Your artifact forging, erm, card creation method, is quite simple, isn’t it?”

“It’s indeed quite simple.”

Jiang Yuan chuckled: “I’ll have someone send us the materials right away.”

“Good.”

After Supreme Lord Lao nodded in agreement, Jiang Yuan put the newly created 【Binding Dragon Rope】 back into his consciousness space.

Then, he called Mu Qianshan.

“Where are you?”

“I’m in the plaza watching the battle in the first battlefield. What’s up?”

“Help me prepare some material cards. I’ll send them to your phone later.”

“Alright.”

Mu Qianshan nodded and then hung up the phone, shortly after receiving the message from Jiang Yuan.

“You guys watch first, I’m going to buy some materials.”

After Mu Qianshan looked at the list of materials Jiang Yuan sent, he said to Huang Huanqing, Li Chengyi, and Wang Boqing beside him.

“Is Jiang Yuan creating cards?”

“Yes.”

Mu Qianshan nodded and then left directly, leaving only an excited Zhan Youqing cheering.

“It seems Jiang Yuan is finally going to make my mech card.”

“I didn’t expect Jiang Yuan to be quite efficient,” Zhan Youqing said happily, excitedly pulling and shaking Huang Huanqing’s arm.

“You asked Jiang Yuan to make you a mech card?”

On the side, Shi Zhuan, who was slightly further away but also in the plaza, frowned slightly and said.

“Yes, Jiang Yuan is also a Card Creator.”

“And, it’s said that all his cards are made by himself, his card creation ability…”

Zhan Youqing hadn’t finished speaking when she was interrupted by Shi Zhuan waving his hand.

“Didn’t I tell you before that there’s a teacher in our academy who specializes in making mech cards? He can even make Five-Colored Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor. Why didn’t you go to him?”

“Why should I listen to you and go find someone I don’t know? Can’t I just find Jiang Yuan?”

Zhan Youqing looked at Shi Zhuan with some displeasure: “Besides, even if I asked him to make it, it’s impossible for him to make Five-Colored Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor for me, is it? If it’s one level weaker than Five-Colored Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor, why should I?”

“Then you can just find Jiang Yuan?”

Seeing Zhan Youqing like this, Shi Zhuan also frowned slightly, suppressing his displeasure and speaking.

“Why not? Jiang Yuan said he can create a mech that’s not weaker than Five-Colored Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor. Why wouldn’t I find him?”

Shi Zhuan admitted that he was a bit jealous at this moment!

He was clearly there first, so why should Jiang Yuan…

Moreover, it was Jiang Yuan who defeated him and stopped him in the semifinals!

Shi Zhuan gritted his teeth resentfully: “He can create a mech with the same strength as Five-Colored Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor?”

“Of course he can! Don’t think that just because you can’t do it, others can’t!”

As soon as Zhan Youqing said this, Shi Zhuan’s eyes almost turned red.

“How could he possibly do it? Five-Colored Floating Pagoda Heavy Armor is a top-tier mech series in the human world. Can a student who just entered Great Beam create it?”

“We’ve grown up together since childhood. Even if you don’t trust me, you can’t trust an outsider, can you?”

“Hmph.”

Zhan Youqing turned her head away disdainfully: “Why wouldn’t I trust him? If you don’t believe me, once it’s made, we can have a match!”
