Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying

Pfft!

5 Spirit Stones to buy a set of Three Kingdoms Kill?

You better be serious!

Yang Genshuo immediately contacted the card production line of the game, determined not to let you down.

However, it's clear that rarity commands a higher price right now,

Yang Shi also smiled and didn't respond to the Loose Cultivator's request. There are not enough decks for everyone to play with, and some decks are so popular that they have a shortage of Military General Cards—even more so for the deck with the most complete set of Military Generals.

In fact, with the craftsmanship of these Loose Cultivators, replicating a set of Three Kingdoms Kill cards isn't difficult.

One of them, a Cultivator who specialized in the Gold Element Magic and was skilled at carving, had cut out some wood blocks and engraved the cards' content onto them, which made them playable.

But... the experience was terrible.

The wooden cards were too thick and uneven, making shuffling difficult, and they couldn't replicate the exquisite illustrations of the characters on the cards. Moreover, one of the most enjoyable aspects of tabletop games—flicking the cards—was impossible.

Everyone preferred to wait in line for the genuine article rather than play with those replicas.

Seeing someone willing to buy the cards, many jumped on the bandwagon.

"I'll offer 6 Spirit Stones!"

"I'll give 7 Spirit Stones!"

"10 Spirit Stones! My fellow daoists, please don't compete with me. When the Workshop opens in a few days, all merchandise at my Situ Nan's will be sold at a 20% discount off the market price."

"I'll trade a Low Grade Magic Artifact for it! The Moonlight Mirror! This mirror was found by me in the southern Spirit Lake, capable of automatically devouring moonlight spiritual energy at night. Once fully charged, its release is equivalent to a full-strength blow at the 10th layer of Fetal Breathing!"

Instantly, the Loose Cultivators gasped in surprise.

A Magic Artifact—that was something valuable.

It could significantly increase a Cultivator's strength, and no Cultivator would ever complain about having too many Magic Artifacts; they would only want more.

"A Magic Artifact capable of unleashing the power of the 10th layer of Fetal Breathing, why is it considered Low Grade? Could there be some defect? My guess... there's something fishy about the storage time, right?"

A seasoned and prudent Loose Cultivator spoke up.

The one offering to trade the Magic Artifact blushed slightly, "It only needs to be charged for half a year before it can be used, which isn't too long..."

"Get out of here! At most 10 Low Grade Spirit Stones, not a single one more."

"I wouldn't want it even if it's free. An attack that only occurs once every half year, I might as well buy a couple of Talismans."

"And you think you can trade that for a Three Kingdoms Kill card? Are you eating shit?"

"However... for low-level Cultivators, it could be considered a life-saving measure." The old Loose Cultivator fanned himself while glancing suggestively at Jiang Xiaobai from the corner of his eye.

Some of the low-level Loose Cultivators present, especially those below the fifth layer of Fetal Breathing, were slightly tempted.

An Amulet with a trigger once every half year was better than none.

Everyone looked at Yang Shi, wanting to see what the always courteous and gentle tea house owner would think.

Without any hesitation, Yang Shi bowed deeply to the crowd.

"Yang Shi is grateful for all the seniors' high regard, but... with more than half a month to go before the Workshop opens, and everyone gathered here at Yang's Tabletop Game Tea House for entertainment, how could I, as the host, sell the joy that belongs to everyone?"

"Please, esteemed seniors, refrain from discussing the sale of the cards any further."

Yang Shi's earnest speech won the admiration and nods of approval from the many Loose Cultivators.

Murong Ziyuan, who had always been on the third floor, also nodded slightly.

"Aware of the bigger picture, knowing when to advance or retreat, this mortal is indeed clear-headed."

At that moment, a Waiter brought over a cup of milk tea.

"Dear guest, your Immortal Floating Milk Tea is ready."

"Hmm."

Murong Ziyuan's expression remained cool, her Immortal detachment and stunning beauty were rare in the Human World, making the Waiter feel that even an extra glance might reduce his lifespan. He quickly left after setting down the tea.

Once he left, she glanced down and saw her four foolish junior brothers and sisters perfectly integrated among the Loose Cultivators, having a great time.

She opened her hand, and the cup of milk tea floated over to her.

Parting her red lips, she took a sip, and immediately, her face brightened like melting snow on a mountain, blossoming plums unfurling in satisfaction.

This was why she came to sit here every day.

This room, Yang Shi had always kept it for her.

The small interlude passed, and everyone continued to play cards and have fun, while Yang Shi and Yang Genshuo had already started secretly communicating in the back of the tea house.

"We must get our hands on the Moonlight Mirror!"

"Shi thinks so too."

The two of them agreed on this almost immediately. Perhaps for those Loose Cultivators, the offensive cost-to-benefit ratio of the mirror's semi-annual use wasn't high, it had limited use-cases, and the price wouldn't go too high.

But that old Loose Cultivator was right, for low-level cultivators, it was a good trump card.

Jiang Xiaobai was only at the Fetal Breathing second layer, and he didn't even know any attack magic. In a real fight, he wasn't as powerful as Hu Zi performing a set of "Gale Blade Technique."

For the Yang Family at this moment, the Moonlight Mirror was just right.

"A full-power strike at the Fetal Breathing tenth layer can deal a fatal or incapacitating blow to anyone below the innate master level."

With this mirror, if someone like Zhao Kuangfeng attacked again, there would be one more option for striking down the enemy.

"Think of a way to get the mirror here in the tea house in the next few days, don't wait for the Loose Cultivation Market."

Currently, masters from the Xuan Stone Sect were here, making it a safe area.

Yang Shi nodded, "Ancestor, I shall do my utmost!"

In secret, Yang Shi had already contacted the Loose Cultivator who wanted to sell the mirror, asking how many Spirit Stones he planned to sell it for.

The Loose Cultivator demanded twelve Spirit Stones and said he would sell it for the same price at the Workshop.

This price was acceptable to both Yang Shi and Yang Genshuo.

Next, the question was how to get the Spirit Stones.

"Could it be that now, while the Loose Cultivators are here, we should sell some Spirit Rice?"

"That won't do, wouldn't that be the same as telling so many people... that I've been cultivating a Spirit Field, only to have my weak self robbed by everyone once the people from Xuan Stone Sect leave?"

While Yang Genshuo was still thinking, the corner of Yang Shi's mouth turned up; he already had an idea.

"Ancestor, watch me perform!"

The next day.

When the tea house was packed, Yang Shi took the place of the storyteller.

"Esteemed seniors, everyone has been playing Three Kingdoms Kill for a week now. Presumably, you've grown familiar with the generals, skills varying, and the mechanics ingeniously crafted."

"But in addition to these common Military General Cards, there are some cards that have never appeared before..."

With these words, he immediately captured most of the Loose Cultivators' attention, and his mouth involuntarily curled into a smile.

"Why hide the new cards? Wouldn't it be better to share them with everyone?"

Listening to someone else ask this question, Yang Shi shook his head:

"The senior who forged these cards once designed twelve unique cards, a sole set, extremely precious, which I have always kept at home."

Everyone immediately understood: "Limited edition premium cards?"

"Exactly, these cards are called—Divine Generals!"

"Ssss~" The Loose Cultivators gasped coolly, awed by the impressive name.

"Owner Yang, could you perhaps show us one?"

Yang Shi drew a gold-colored card from his sleeve, its design was extravagant.

"This card is named: Divine Lü Bu!"

"It possesses five skills—[Fury], [Unplanned], [Unrivaled], [Divine Fury], and [Unrivaled]!"

"With this General Card, you will prevail in any card game!"

After showing it around, the veterans who had played Three Kingdoms Kill could not help but exclaim in admiration.

"With this card, I alone could fight two people without falling behind!"

"I'll openly rebel, who could stop me!"

"Owner Yang, could you lend this card to me for one game?"

"I'll pay one Spirit Stone to take it right away!"

Hearing someone make an offer, the corner of Yang Shi's mouth twitched slightly.

It was in the bag.
