440: Chapter 497: Laojun and Linglong Pagoda's advanced material card! (asking for monthly tickets)

After a moment of hesitation, Mu Qianshan ultimately decided not to use the elixir.

It was only the third round, and there were still tens of thousands of battles to go, so certainly not many people were paying attention to their match.

Moreover, he wasn't incapable of defeating his opponent, so there was no need to use the elixir now.

To expand the elixir's reputation, it would be best to wait until the finals.

Having made up his mind, Mu Qianshan no longer held back, unleashing the second layer of the Pure Yang Sword Art.

The red Pure Yang Sword Qi was tinged with gold, and with the sudden increase in damage, the Giant Demon Clan fellow found it difficult to resist.

After blocking one sword qi, Akalay's expression changed drastically.

This kind of damage increase?

Did he use some special card?

But he didn't seem to use any cards!

"Damn human! Using cards sneakily!"

"What's sneaky?"

Mu Qianshan was puzzled, but his movements didn't slow down. After deflecting the opponent's spiked club with one sword, the crimson sword qi, tinged with a golden glow, struck the red quality defensive equipment on the Giant Demon Clan member.

Mu Qianshan felt a touch of envy. Then, two more sword qi strikes directly broke through the red quality defensive equipment on Akalay's body.

The disadvantage of heavy weapons like spiked clubs lay here.

Once parried, there was no time to defend.

Akalay was both shocked and enraged, swinging his spiked club down at Mu Qianshan's head.

But before the spiked club could land, Mu Qianshan killed his opponent with a single sword strike.

"Mu Qianshan's strength has improved quite a bit."

Li Yueying couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Mu Qianshan win again in a short amount of time.

"That swordplay of his, it's a bit unfamiliar."

Facing Li Yueying's surprise, Jiang Yuan merely smiled and said nothing.

Li Yueying didn't ask further. After all, Mu Qianshan was a merchant, and merchants had the most good things.

Looking at Jiang Yuan beside her, and then at Mu Qianshan who suddenly appeared before her, Li Yueying felt a bit emotional.

One had Card Creator as a side profession, the other a merchant. This was the importance of having a side profession.

Look at them, they lacked nothing. How nice.

She recalled how, at their age, she was still fighting tooth and nail for a material card.

But then again, a Card Creator like Jiang Yuan was probably a once-in-a-few-centuries phenomenon.

The cards he created were not only strong in quality but also inexpensive and highly practical, naturally leading to a large output.

Especially selling to the military, that was a stable and large-volume sales channel.

Sometimes, it was truly impossible not to be envious.

"There's only this one A-grade red quality equipment card."

After Mu Qianshan returned, he couldn't help but curl his lips at Jiang Yuan.

"Why would the World Will judge an A-grade red quality equipment card and my Moonlight Staff to be on the same level!"

"The judgment should be based on similar circumstances, right?"

After Mu Qianshan finished speaking, Li Yueying laughed, "Of course it's based on similar circumstances. For two cards that aren't very different, the World Will can't just give you a white quality card to make up for it, can it?"

"White quality cards are still money, you know."

Although he agreed with Li Yueying's statement, Mu Qianshan still grumbled unhappily.

Especially these past two days, he had been selling a lot of white quality Linglong Pagoda cards.

"Stop acting innocent after getting a good deal."

Li Yueying was amused, "You should be glad you now have an S-grade red quality equipment card. This is basically the highest value card besides cultivation technique cards."

"If you can clear the Quail Head Middle Stage, you'll be secretly delighted with the rewards you get."

"red quality cultivation technique card?"

Mu Qianshan's eyes suddenly lit up, then he turned to look at Jiang Yuan.

"Be honest, the Moonlight Staff is already very good!"

Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan were very familiar with each other, so when Mu Qianshan gave him a look, Jiang Yuan immediately understood what Mu Qianshan meant.

"Those two cards are only for the two of us. If you lose them, I won't make you another one."

"What cards are you talking about?"

Hearing Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan's conversation, Li Yueying also became curious.

"Two cultivation technique cards that were accidentally created before, but can no longer be created now."

Facing Li Yueying's inquiry, Jiang Yuan found it hard to hide and could only give a perfunctory explanation.

Li Yueying didn't press further. After nodding, she continued to look at Mu Qianshan.

"Do you have any gold quality cards?"

Looking at Li Yueying's smiling eyes, Mu Qianshan smiled helplessly, "Sister, my business hasn't reached that level yet."

"Clap!"

As soon as Mu Qianshan finished speaking, Jiang Yuan's hand landed on Mu Qianshan's shoulder.

"You're out of line, you know."

"Then should I call you Auntie?"

Mu Qianshan joked, but the next second, a clear, ice-blue longsword was placed against Mu Qianshan's neck.

"What auntie?"

The gentle voice made cold sweat break out on Mu Qianshan's back.

On one side was Jiang Yuan, on the other was Li Yueying.

This...

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore."

Seeing Mu Qianshan stammering, unable to speak, with an expression almost on the verge of tears, Li Yueying also laughed and retracted her longsword.

"Teacher, you also use a sword?"

"That's right. I'm a weak woman, and I can't use weapons like long spears or halberds."

Li Yueying smiled, sat back on the sofa, and started chatting with Jiang Yuan.

"Is it a gold quality equipment card?"

"Yes, speaking of which, this is the first card I've ever upgraded to gold quality."

Li Yueying's lips curled into a smile, "Don't think that just because I'm a Card Creator, I don't have a strong killing intent."

"I can tell."

Mu Qianshan, who was beside them, spoke timidly. The next second, Li Yueying's gaze swept over.

Mu Qianshan manually muted himself, and Jiang Yuan also chuckled.

The battles proceeded quickly. After a day, Mu Qianshan successfully completed four rounds of combat.

"There should be two more days, and my battles will be pretty much over."

"Roughly. Four rounds a day, it should be over in about three or four days."

Jiang Yuan nodded, then parted ways with Mu Qianshan.

He continued to search for material cards that could improve the quality of his cards, while Mu Qianshan set up his stall and looked for cards that Jiang Yuan might need.

Four rounds a day, if calculated strictly, it would take about a dozen rounds to finish the battles within one realm.

In terms of time, four rounds a day would also require four days.

However, the battles got faster towards the end. Those who dragged out time were eliminated, leaving only those whose battles were relatively quick.

Generally speaking, it might end in three days.

After Mu Qianshan's battles ended, it would be his turn to fight.

He was a little excited!

To be honest, watching Mu Qianshan's battles today, Jiang Yuan also wanted to go up and fight a match.

Putting everything else aside, Nezha, Zhao Gongming, Shi Ji, and Golden Crow had all successfully advanced to red quality.

He hadn't even tried out all those new skills yet.

Of course, he would definitely choose their life-saving skills.

"Jiang Yuan?"

"Haha, it really is you. Where's Shi Ji?"

Jiang Yuan was walking on the road, looking at the cards on a stall, when someone suddenly called out to him.

As soon as Jiang Yuan turned his head, the other person excitedly rushed over.

"You're just taking advantage of the fact that we can't fight here!"

Shi Ji's Taia Sword suddenly appeared in Jiang Yuan's hand, blocking the other person's embrace, and he spoke unhappily.

"Hehe, old friends meeting, I just got a little excited."

"Who's your old friend?"

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes but also put away the Taia Sword.

Although he really wanted to kill the other person, he couldn't fight in this place, so he could only give up.

"Your strength allows you to come here?"

"What are you talking about? Even Sixth Realm Shen can come here, alright?"

Ancient Capital Si Dan curled his lips, "We can come, but we just can't participate in battles."

"Besides, even if I break through to the Seventh Realm, I still can't participate in battles, because I'm an Amplification Card Master."

Ancient Capital Si Dan spread his hands, his gaze sweeping around Jiang Yuan, "Why haven't I seen Shi Ji?"

"You still want to see Shi Ji?"

Jiang Yuan chuckled, "So if you can't participate in battles, what are you doing here?"

"Of course, I'm buying cards."

Ancient Capital Si Dan looked innocent, "This is the largest card trading market, and it's also a place where all races truly can't fight. Why shouldn't I come?"

As Ancient Capital Si Dan spoke, he looked at Jiang Yuan and laughed, "Besides, this is the only place where you won't attack me."

"Cut it out. When there wasn't this restriction before, I didn't see myself attacking you either."

Jiang Yuan disdainfully slapped away Ancient Capital Si Dan's hand, which was reaching out to put around his shoulder, and spoke unhappily.

Indeed, if there wasn't this no-combat restriction, Jiang Yuan would probably have directly summoned Nezha to kill him.

This was an Amplification Card Master that Jiang Yuan had coveted for a long time!

"Hehe, where's Shi Ji?"

"Get lost."

Jiang Yuan was annoyed, not even wanting to look at him, and directly turned and left.

Ancient Capital Si Dan wasn't angry, just a little disappointed that he hadn't seen Shi Ji.

"No rush, I'll talk about it after my strength improves."

Ancient Capital Si Dan glanced at Jiang Yuan's retreating back, then shook his head and turned to leave.

........

........

The next day, the battles in the arena continued, and Jiang Yuan and Li Yueying were also there watching Mu Qianshan's battle.

Mu Qianshan's opponent in the fifth round wasn't very strong. In no time, Mu Qianshan won the battle.

"I feel like the opponent wasn't as strong as yesterday's."

Mu Qianshan happily put his spoils of war into his Backpack Card.

"Speaking of which, those few people I inquired about earlier don't seem to be very strong. One of them has even been eliminated."

Mu Qianshan sat beside Jiang Yuan, took out a handful of melon seeds, and said somewhat puzzled.

"Did you see any particularly strong Students while watching here?"

"No, I only watched your battles."

"Want information? I have some here."

As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, a voice came over.

"Ancient Capital Si Dan? How can you be here too?"

Mu Qianshan was also stunned when he saw Ancient Capital Si Dan, "Have you also reached the Seventh Realm?"

"No, but it's not like only those who reach the Seventh Realm can come here."

Ancient Capital Si Dan spread his hands, his gaze sweeping around Jiang Yuan again, then he looked at Jiang Yuan unhappily.

"Why haven't I seen Shi Ji today?"

"None of your business."

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes. Shi Ji was in her room improving her Necromancy and illusion skills, so naturally she wasn't free to come out.

And what's with that self-righteous look on your face?

"Hmph, I have some information on powerful individuals here. Are you sure you don't want it?"

Ancient Capital Si Dan's face showed pride, "If you want to see it, you'll at least have to show some sincerity, for example, by calling out Shi Ji."

"I don't want to see it. If you don't scram, don't even think about leaving."

Jiang Yuan curled his lips. What information on powerful individuals?

It was meaningless.

In a situation of the same level, he could just sweep through them. He had that ability now.

Information or not, it didn't matter.

Furthermore, although this area prohibited fighting, it was still possible to forcibly restrain someone.

As long as the person being restrained didn't resist, it wasn't considered fighting.

And Jiang Yuan still had some control skills that could prevent the opponent from resisting.

This was also why he sent a clone to gather information before, instead of going himself.

"Ah?"

Seeing Jiang Yuan's self-righteous expression, Ancient Capital Si Dan was clearly stunned.

"No, this is very important information. You're not going to look at it now?"

"I think you still don't understand my strength."

Looking at Jiang Yuan's half-smile, Ancient Capital Si Dan also reacted.

That's right, Jiang Yuan's strength was terrifying.

And the information on these "powerful individuals" in his hands seemed to be useless?

Although he didn't know why Jiang Yuan had broken through so quickly, already reaching the Seventh Realm Quail Head Late Stage.

But judging from Jiang Yuan's previous battles, this guy was clearly the type of genius who was invincible among his peers.

These "powerful individuals" in his hands, if they really fought, might not be Jiang Yuan's opponents.

"Excuse me, goodbye."

After Ancient Capital Si Dan reacted, he didn't hesitate and directly turned and left.

"Speaking of which, I still quite wanted it."

Seeing Ancient Capital Si Dan leave, Mu Qianshan also felt a bit regretful.

"Otherwise, I could transform into Shi Ji and try to seduce him?"

Mu Qianshan said to Jiang Yuan with a mischievous smile, as if he had suddenly thought of something.

"You'd better not."

"You should have some self-confidence."

"You're right."

Mu Qianshan nodded, continuing to watch the battles on the big screen, cracking melon seeds while judging whether the Students on the field were stronger than him.

Today's battles also went very smoothly.

Mu Qianshan easily passed all five rounds of battles today.

Although the Pure Yang Swordplay was used up to the fourth layer, Golden Crow still had no chance to appear.

The powerful attack increase from the Pure Yang Sword Art, combined with the speed boost from his unique trait, meant that the opponents in these first nine rounds of battles basically posed no threat to him.

It all depended on tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happened, their realm's battles would end tomorrow.

While Mu Qianshan was battling, Jiang Yuan wasn't idle either.

Today, he successfully collected all the advancement material cards for Linglong Pagoda and Old Lord!
