473: Reward: Gold quality card! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Seeing Jiang Yuan preparing to craft cards, and seeing Zhao Gongming use 【Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth】 to transfer the luck he had accumulated during this period to Jiang Yuan, the Old Lord grumbled twice with dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, hmph, you won't let me craft cards, and you won't let me refine pills!"

"If I don't refine pills, what will you eat?"

"Hmph, hmph!"

Seeing the Old Lord act like an old child, Nezha couldn't help but snicker.

Golden Crow's eyes widened.

The Old Lord acting like this?

It felt like his worldview was collapsing!

Shi Ji and Zhao Gongming also chuckled and began to comfort him.

"The materials consumed by his two cards are too rare; it's not wrong to be serious."

"But I don't consume luck when refining pills!"

The Old Lord was indignant; never mind card crafting, he relied entirely on his own skill for refining pills!

"Just to be safe."

Shi Ji smiled, picked up the teapot, and poured the Old Lord a cup of tea: "It'll be ready soon. Once he finishes crafting the cards, you can continue crafting and refining pills."

The Old Lord flicked his horsetail whisk, sat down, and slowly began to sip his tea.

After two cups of tea, there was movement from Jiang Yuan's side.

"How is it?"

Seeing Jiang Yuan emerge from the room, Shi Ji looked up and asked him.

"Not bad, it's done."

Jiang Yuan smiled, and with a flick of his wrist, two red quality cards appeared in his hand.

"Now I can rest assured."

With these two life-saving cards, Jiang Yuan also relaxed.

With these two cards, at the very least, he could ensure his escape.

Even against his teacher, Li Yueying, he would likely succeed in escaping.

That was enough.

After all, according to his teacher, there were no Eleventh Realm Great Fire powerhouses among those coming to encircle them this time.

To put it bluntly, they weren't worthy.

A Tenth Realm Longevity Star was already sufficient.

A Tenth Realm Longevity Star in the early stage could easily kill a Seventh Realm Quail Head Late Stage.

No matter how talented, there had never been a person in history who could cross two major realms!

Let alone crossing three realms and still being able to kill someone.

Under this cultivation system, such a situation was basically impossible.

So, from the beginning, Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan's goal was simply to successfully escape.

Counter-kill?

What a joke!

It was simply impossible!

"So, can this old man refine pills now!"

"Of course, you can."

Jiang Yuan smiled, and seeing the Old Lord's displeased expression, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"This is just to ensure our safety."

Jiang Yuan smiled happily, came behind the Old Lord, and massaged his shoulders.

"Look, now that we have these two cards, our safety is guaranteed, isn't it?"

"Alright, hurry up and find all the materials for the Golden Bracelet for me. I'm only missing two material cards."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but his actions didn't stop.

Golden Crow looked at this scene with some surprise, then began to ponder.

Is it still too late to curry favor with the Old Lord now?

With Jiang Yuan successfully crafting cards, Mu Qianshan, who was selling A-Class red quality Skill Cards outside, also breathed a sigh of relief.

With these two cards crafted, he had the confidence to escape.

Therefore, these A-Class red quality Skill Cards could no longer be sold like this.

What was the difference between an A-Class red quality Skill Card for five S-Class red quality Material Cards and selling them at cabbage prices?

Mu Qianshan immediately decided to raise the price!

No question, the price must be raised!

This was a typical seller's market.

Awesome!

...

...

"You absolutely wouldn't understand why, after raising the price, they sold even better than the night before last."

"What's there not to understand? It's just that they're afraid you'll raise the price again."

Jiang Yuan smiled: "red quality Skill Cards, if only there was an S-Class one."

As he spoke, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh. After the sixth round just ended, the card rewarded by the World Will was still not an S-Class Red Quality Skill Card.

It was still a special card.

A red quality Card Quality Enhancement Card.

It could upgrade any Purple Quality Card to red quality.

However, after the upgrade, no skills would change.

This was already the second one.

After the third and fourth rounds of the competition ended, the World Will rewarded a red quality Duplicate Card.

And after the fifth and sixth rounds ended, the World Will rewarded these red quality Card Quality Enhancement Cards.

Two of them...

They seemed somewhat useless.

The Linglong Pagoda's quality had already been upgraded to red quality using a red quality Card Quality Enhancement Card.

Otherwise, according to the Linglong Pagoda's current characteristic of only being able to block attacks from skills and equipment of the same quality, if it were still Purple Quality, the Linglong Pagoda would simply be unable to block red quality Cards used by the opponent.

"Should I sell this red quality Card Quality Enhancement Card?"

"No need."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yuan shook his head, a smile appearing on his face: "This card is still useful."

"Useful?"

Mu Qianshan was a little confused: "Which of your cards needs to use a Card Quality Enhancement Card to improve its quality?"

While Card Quality Enhancement Cards were convenient and fast for improving quality, they were actually somewhat of a chicken rib because they couldn't add attributes or skills.

But Jiang Yuan clearly didn't think so.

After all, he had a card in his hand where the effect of the entry was the same whether it was White Quality, red quality, or even ultimately Gold Quality.

It was merely that the higher the card quality, the stronger the summoned "helper" could exert its power.

This card was most suitable for using a Quality Enhancement Card to improve its quality.

It saved at least seven red quality Material Cards.

As for the other one...

He'd keep it for now, in case he thought of a card that could use it someday.

"Alright."

Mu Qianshan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After Jiang Yuan rested for a while, the seventh round of the competition began.

Compared to the opponents in the previous few matches, the opponent in this match was a bit stronger.

The opponents in the previous few matches were basically Second-Sequence Race, while this match was a Student from a First Sequence Race.

First Sequence Race, Element Spirit Race!

A Student of the Wood Element Spirit Race!

In the previous few rounds, each round had a great many matches, so Jiang Yuan didn't know what the opponent's situation was like.

However, compared to Jiang Yuan, the Wood Element Spirit Race Student clearly knew Jiang Yuan's strength.

After all, Jiang Yuan was not only famous in the Giant Stone Plains now, but also among all races.

This led to the Wood Element Spirit Race Student still being very cautious, even though Jiang Yuan was currently one major realm below him!

After all, the opponent was a Student one major realm below him. If he lost to the opponent, it would really be quite embarrassing.

Although many people had lost to the opponent because his strength was very strong.

However, he didn't want to be among them.

In the arena, neither of them spoke, just quietly waiting for the battle to begin.

Soon, the countdown ended, and the battle began!

The moment the battle began, a red quality Card appeared in Jiang Yuan's hand.

The card glowed brightly!

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, a branch suddenly grew out from behind Jiang Yuan and violently struck the small golden pagoda on Jiang Yuan's body.

"Sneak attack?"

Nezha, who had just appeared, smiled and raised his hand, firing three Zhentian Arrows in rapid succession.

The Wood Element Spirit Race Student's expression changed, and he quickly raised countless trees to block them.

Neither the tree giants nor the tree shields, nor even the main body of the large tree, seemed to affect the Zhentian Arrows.

"What are the characteristics of these arrows shot by this new summoned being?"

"Different space?"

"Most likely it can only be physically blocked, right?"

"But the problem is, for physical blocking, aren't those trees considered physical blocking?"

"Perhaps it needs to be blocked by oneself. It's clear that neither those trees nor Energy defense barriers can block these arrows."

"However, if blocked by oneself, it might be possible. The characteristics are probably 'guaranteed hit' or 'spatial jump' or something similar."

After several battles, the characteristics of Nezha's Zhentian Arrow were more or less guessed.

Although there was still some difference from the Zhentian Arrow's true characteristics, it was roughly similar.

After three arrows, the opponent also tried to dodge, but it was useless.

In the end, he could only choose to use 【Wood Doppelganger】 to block.

One 【Wood Claw】 swatted down the first arrow, and the defensive equipment on his body blocked the second arrow.

The final 【Wood Doppelganger】 blocked the last arrow, which caused the most damage.

But before the Wood Element Spirit Race Student could even breathe a sigh of relief, Nezha had already appeared behind him.

Universe Throw!

Then he activated the skill 【Dawn Break】, causing the Fire Tipped Spear's attack to deal double damage.

However, unfortunately, due to the vast difference in realms, it did not trigger the effect of piercing defense.

But even so, with the various skill bonuses, Nezha's strike was still incredibly powerful.

One must know, this was Nezha's full-power strike!

【Three Heads and Eight Arms】, 【Weapon Mastery】, 【Power Release】, 【Lotus Avatar】.

Plus the increased critical chance and critical damage from 【Mighty and Prominent】.

The increased strength and Deterrence against non-humans from 【Demon Subduing Might】.

Although Deterrence wasn't triggered, there were still 【Weapon Completion】 and 【Battle Skill Enhancement】, two enhancements that increased combat power due to the weapon.

Finally, there was the double damage from 【Dawn Break】.

It was just that the critical hit effect wasn't triggered, otherwise, this strike would have shattered all of the Wood Element Spirit Race Student's equipment!

And it wouldn't have just ended with shattering his red quality defensive equipment and wooden armor, as it did now.

However, Nezha wasn't alone!

Zhao Gongming also flashed to the Wood Element Spirit Race Student, delivering a full-power strike directly onto the Wood Element Spirit Race Student, who had almost no defensive equipment.

Shi Ji simultaneously detonated the 【Netherlight】 that had accumulated not long ago.

At this moment, Golden Crow's 【Golden Crow Light】 had not yet fallen, and the battle had already ended.

Wait, he didn't even get an assist?

Seeing the opponent die, Golden Crow tilted his head, somewhat bewildered.

Did they have to kill so fast!

Golden Crow was about to complain when the battlefield suddenly disappeared.

Nezha and Golden Crow became cards again, and Jiang Yuan returned to the Giant Stone Plains.

After collecting his spoils of war cards, Jiang Yuan looked at the last card in his hand.

This card was a reward from the World Will.

Clearly, the color was different.

So Jiang Yuan only put away those red quality Cards, leaving this one alone.

"Gold?"

Seeing the card appear in Jiang Yuan's hand, Mu Qianshan also exclaimed.

However, because there were only Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan in their small area, and Mu Qianshan's voice wasn't very loud, not many people noticed them.

But even so, some teachers saw the gold card in Jiang Yuan's hand.

"Hmm, a Gold Quality Skill Card."

Jiang Yuan nodded: "I feel like it's not even as good as an A-Class red quality Skill Card."

"That depends on what kind of Skill Card it is. Strictly speaking, an A-Class Gold Quality Skill Card is indeed not as good as an A-Class red quality Skill Card."

Mu Qianshan nodded: "After all, this is determined by the card category."

"It's a pity my teacher isn't here. I don't understand Gold Quality Cards either; I don't know what level this is."

"Let me see if I recognize it. I know some common ones."

As Mu Qianshan spoke, he took the Gold Quality Card from Jiang Yuan's hand.

"Spear of Judgment?"

"Never heard of it, but it looks like it should be A-Class or higher."

"The name sounds pretty fierce."

Jiang Yuan shook his head helplessly and didn't take it back.

It felt like it had no connection to his card advancement...

Hmm!

No, that's not right!

Spear!

Although he hadn't yet decided on the advancement material card for his Fire Tipped Spear, after all, he had just advanced the Fire Tipped Spear to red quality.

There was still a long way to go until Gold Quality.

But, he'd keep it for now, in case it was useful later?

red quality Cards were already so rare; Gold Quality Cards were obviously even rarer.

He was already so troubled by advancing all his cards to red quality; how much more difficult would it be to advance them to Gold Quality?

"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, I'm not short on money. I'll keep this Gold Quality Card for now, in case it's useful later."

After Jiang Yuan shook his head helplessly, he took the Gold Card from Mu Qianshan's hand.

"That works too. The circulation of Gold Quality Cards is indeed not as good as red quality Cards."

"But it looks like this card is most likely an S-Class Gold Quality Skill Card. Otherwise, as the challenge rounds get higher and higher, and the card value gets lower and lower, how can that be justified?"

After looking at the Gold Quality Card in his hand for a while longer, Jiang Yuan smiled and said to Mu Qianshan.

"That's the truth, but Gold Quality Cards are always superior to red quality Cards."

Mu Qianshan spread his hands: "You'll know what card the World Will rewards after your next round of challenges ends."

"That's true, but the World Will is quite stingy, not even rewarding an S-Class Red Quality Skill Card."
