The Card Cultivation System
CCS-59

Still in the dark passageway, Xika gathered with the other three people.

Perhaps it was because it was dark and gave off an aura that was not wearing, so not many people chose to pass through the passageway.

This makes this a good gathering place for Xika and her friends.

Not long after, after Lian Minjie took the chain from the man with the knife, Lin Zhu came following.

He and Xika did tos.

"Good acting."

"thank you.

If I were to play a drama, I would definitely take you, Brother Lin."

Lin Zhu just laughed hearing Xika's words.

Then Xika handed over the protective arm that she had taken from Lin Zhu earlier.

After that, they discussed the steps ahead.

"It looks like our plan worked."

"But after this we should not be seen walking together. As much as possible we should not meet each other first to avoid mistakes."

The others nodded hearing Qin Mo's words.

"Alright, since I'm the first to finish, it would be strange if I went through another passageway, so I'm going through this passageway" Qin Mo said as he was indeed the first to obtain the artifact.

"Ngg. People just saw me disappear into the hallway, not knowing which passageway. But for sure, I shouldn't be in the same hallway as Brother Lin."

Lin Zhu nodded then said,

"I shouldn't have been conspicuous when I went down the other aisle, considering that I was lying on the ground helplessly for quite a while."

"I am free. But I decided to go to the other hallway, to be balanced."

"You guys, give me your star card."

Suddenly Huo Bing appeared among the four of them.

Lin Zhu handed over his card while asking,

"For what?"

And only in reply,

"Look at me."

Xika handed over her card with narrowed eyes because she suspected Huo Bing had contracted Heiliao and went along mysteriously.

Others also handed their cards with question marks on their faces.

Huo Bing made the four cards float and spin in front of him.

"Now flow your qi on each card."

They followed Huo Bing's words despite not understanding what he was going to do.

After each of them had their qi on the card, Huo Bing took the hair from their heads of four strands each.

"Aw! What's that hair for?" qin Mo asked.

And again Huo Bing's answer was simply,

"Look at me."

Xika's gaze on Huo Bing grew sharper. If anyone asked and Huo Bing answered him by 'look at it' Xika would run and directly hit Huo Bing on the head to get him back to normal.

Huo Bing put four hairs on each card. Each of the cards had the hair of Lian Minjie, Lin Zhu, Qin Mo, and Xika.

Then he opened his mouth and burned the four cards.

Qin Mo looked surprised by what Huo Bing had just done.

In contrast to Lian Minjie who had quite a serious face because she seemed to understand what Huo Bing was doing

While Lin Zhu and Xika were just staring in bewilderment, not knowing what Huo Bing was doing.

After being burned for a while, Huo Bing shut his mouth and the cards stopped burning.

The card is still the same as before, but there are curly, heart, solid, and star symbols in each corner of the card.

Huo Bing gave back those cards.

Each sees a change in their cards.

"What symbol is this?" ask Lian Minjie.

Huo Bing pointed at Qin Mo,

"Padung for the Foolish Qin, (pointing Lian Minjie) Kinky for the Weird Lian, (pointing Lin Zhu) Heart for the Silly LIn, (pointing Xika) and Stars for the Crazy Xing."

Xika felt a bit strangely called Xing Crazy, but the others were ordinary.

"Well, I added a little bit of your aura to the card. So when you are separated, you will know the condition of each. When one of the symbols flashes, it means he is in danger, and when the symbol dies."

The four people were speechless hearing Huo Bing's words while looking at their cards which were each symbols lit up brightly.

"The symbol signifies one of you. If the symbol is dim, then it is in a bad condition. The dimmer the worse the owner's condition."

Then Huo Bing turned to Lian Minjie and said,

"I hope you don't mind me adding another function......"

"Of course not. I am actually thankful. Good idea, so we can figure out each other's condition."

"Then, I'll add too."

Then Heiliao sucked all the cards and swallowed them.

"..............."

"..............."

The other four people stared at Heiliao silently.

Heiliao also stared back at them.

When Xika opened her mouth about to ask, Heiliao had already spewed the card back to its owner.

"Birds are half-baked, attack them with your feathers."

"What?"

"Strike it."

Huo Bing followed Heiliao even though he did not understand.

The feathers hit their cards and were absorbed by them.

"................"

"..............."

Now replace Huo Bing who was stared at by the four humans.

"Your cards can withstand attacks to a certain degree."

"What level is that?" asked Lin Zhu curiously.

"Look at it later."

".................."

After the addition of functions on the card, they chatted for a while.

"Sister Lin, you're really good at drama. I've never seen you underestimate an opponent like that and give a menacing look."

Lin Zhu just laughed as he scratched his head hearing Xika's words.

Then they split up with each other.

Lian Minjie left first, only Lin Zhu.

Actually Lian Minjie had no problem going first or later because she was the most 'invisible' among the other three people.

But Lin Zhu had to look miserable and miserable, so he would leave later.

Lin Zhu waited for a while after Lian Minjie left, then just caught up with her.

In the other hallway, Qin Mo left first.

Because it was Qin Mo who finished first so it was natural that he went first. One would also not suspect that Qin Mo had come first before Xika.

Xika also waited for a while before catching up with Qin Mo.

He walked for several hours before finally reaching another room.

Xika arrived at a spacious room that was quite hot.

The room had many lava pools.

But in the middle of all the pools there are various precious treasures.

The pools were surrounded by cultivators. There were around five to six people, some were only surrounded by two three people, some were not surrounded at all.

Just like the previous room, these treasures also had barrier walls.

The wall was harder to break than the previous wall because there was a lava pool separating the cultivators with the treasure.

"Xika's. Go up to the sixth pool from the far right after that turn as many as three ponds and forward again as many as two ponds."

Despite being troublesome, Xika still followed Huo Bing's request.

He arrived at the pond that Huo Bing meant.

The pond did not attract the attention of any cultivators.

Maybe because there is only one treasure in the pond but the lavanya pond is larger than the other pond.

"What is that thing?"

"The Two Extreme Herb"

"What is the plant for?"

"The plant is one of the ingredients needed to shape my body."

"What's? I thought you were pointing me to a good treasure."

"That's a good treasure to know."

"Not for you, but for me."

"Alright, alright. Help me pick up the plant, and I'll put you in another pretty good pond."

Then Xika formed the Space Shifter into a wand without being seen by other cultivators. Even if it was seen, they would think that Xika took out her weapon from the spatial ring.

In this city, spatial rings were pretty much owned by cultivators, even though they were only the lowest level. So it would not be too conspicuous if Xika took out and entered the goods suddenly.

Xika hit the barrier wall many times, but nothing happened.

Even the wall did not weaken in the slightest.

One of the cultivators who was in the pond not far from Xika approached him and advised him.

"Buddy, that pond has already been tried several times by other cultivators stronger than you, but they have all failed. Stop that effort. You better pick another pool."

"Ahaha. Let me try in a minute."

Then the cultivator went back to the pool.

He has advised Xika, the problem of his advice is done or not is Xika's decision.

Xika tried to coat the Space Shifter with all four elements simultaneously - without being seen by others of course - but it still didn't work.

"Huo Bing, what should I do? My attack didn't work at all."

Before Huo Bing replied, Heiliao had already replied to Xika with a whisper.

"Use my strength."

"Heiliao's? How can you hear my voice?"

"............."

Xika was increasingly convinced that Heiliao still had a blood relationship with Xingli given how similar and annoying the two creatures were.

He closed his eyes for a moment.

Then a small black hole appeared at the end of the Space Shifter.

Xika thrust the Space Shifter once again into the barrier.

But this time the Space Shifter wasn't as mental from the barrier as before.

The black hole at the end of the Space Shifter was absorbing that barrier energy bit by bit.

Xika tried to maintain her position as if trying to thrust her weapon as hard as possible so as not to make others suspicious.

After a few minutes of maintaining that position, the barrier wall finally broke and the scent of the plant instantly crossed the entire room.

And it instantly made the cultivators who were in the other pond approach the plant.
