Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Ten Consecutive Draws
Outside Moonlight Listening Wind Pavilion, having watched the White Crane Child demonstrate various spells.
Su Ping looked towards the fishing warehouse and found that after exchanging for the Pot Cave Heaven,
there were still 80 Little Green Fish and 60 Big Bluefish left.
Having tasted the sweet thrill of card drawing, Su Ping exchanged 20 Big Bluefish for 100 Fishing Coins.
Then, Su Ping waved his sleeve and started the ten consecutive draws from the Pot Cave Heaven specific card pack!
This was Su Ping’s first real-life ten consecutive draw.
Watching one streak of light after another flash across his mind.
Su Ping silently hoped for the golden light to flash again.
“For my first ten consecutive draw, at least give me a guaranteed golden light!”
Moonlight Stone, Green Jade desk, thatched hut, trash can…
Common, common, still common…
After nine consecutive commons, on the tenth draw, finally, a purple light emerged!
[Spirit Light Fish Pond (Small), Special Construction, Quality: Rare, Exclusive for Pot Cave Heaven, can raise up to five special Spirit Fish once placed, and slightly enhance Spirit Fish effects]
“Spirit Light Fish Pond!”
“With this fish pond, next time I catch a Green Spirit Fish I can directly raise them in the pond to increase the density of spiritual energy in the cave heaven.”
“This is also considered a must-have structure for Pot Cave Heaven. This round… I forcefully broke even!”
Su Ping looked at the results of this round of card drawing—nine commons and one rare—and shook his head slightly, extinguishing the lingering flame in his heart to continue the ten consecutive draws.
Su Ping, who had suffered losses before, had his own logic for card drawing.
“My luck isn’t good today. I’ll rest for a while before trying again.”
“This game of chance mustn’t get to your head; otherwise, it’s easy to lose big!”
Su Ping returned to his bedroom in Frost Moon Villa from the Pot Cave Heaven.
After activating the Pot Cave Heaven’s function and inviting his contracted Spiritual Beasts,
Su Ping managed to bring the Spiritual Rat, White, Grey, and other Spiritual Beasts into the Pot Cave Heaven, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of a first-tier top-grade Spirit Vein.
Then, Su Ping discovered that the Moonlight Listening Wind Pavilion’s ability to alleviate physical and mental fatigue was also effective for these Spiritual Beasts.
His eyes lighting up, Su Ping decided to increase their daily training.
Meanwhile, he started to study the way of talismans in the master’s study room of Moonlight Listening Wind Pavilion.
As the master, he enjoyed an additional blessing that naturally doubled the recovery efficiency of life force and mana.
Combined with a spiritual energy density far higher than the Mortal World,
Su Ping’s learning efficiency of the art of talismans continually improved!
If it weren’t for his awareness that staying hidden for too long might invite suspicion from outsiders like those in Golden Sparrow City,
Su Ping wouldn’t mind spending 24 hours a day cultivating and resting in the Pot Cave Heaven.
Through the rats dispersed in Golden Sparrow City and re-establishing contact with acquaintances from the Immortal Sect through gifts in recent times,
news continued to reach him.
The Immortal Sect Territory of the Immortal Chiyuan Sect had been growing increasingly restless.
It wasn’t just because of the Evil Qi Tide; it seemed to be just the beginning.
The frequency of Evil Spirits appearances aside, recently, near the Ten Thousand Mountains where the sect bordered, even a demon beast tide had surged.
It was heard that several settlements the sect had spent twenty years developing were completely wiped out in this attack!
The ruins at the Hundred Treasure Workshop were also confirmed to be ancient Demon Sect ruins.
According to the snippets of information passed down,
this ancient Demon Sect had seen Nascent Soul Old Monsters among them.
This rekindled courage in the various cultivators nearby, who had suffered heavy losses for various reasons.
Even elders from the sect had taken large Immortal Boats to the scene.
“With the Great Golden Light Temple stirring up too, this realm of the sect is becoming a real mess!”
“Compared to that, or perhaps because of my previous thunderbolt measures, the area around Golden Sparrow City remains peaceful and clear. As an Inspector, I think I can be considered quite responsible.”
Having read the last letter, Su Ping began to write a reply and added a few Spirit Stones to each response.
After finishing, Su Ping had the housekeeper directly send the letters to the Ji Family, where they would be sent to the Immortal Sect through their channels.
Then, Su Ping summoned the Spiritual Rats, White and Grey, back from the Pot Cave Heaven.
White and Grey returned to the Lin Yue Villa, which lacked Spiritual Energy, and showed listless expressions.
Su Ping let out a light hum.
White and Grey immediately felt their master’s dissatisfaction and briskly perked up, transforming into spirited little mice.
“The Yun Family is indeed interesting; just take a trip to the Nine Leaf Workshop and see,” Su Ping mused.
The reason Su Ping summoned the Spiritual Rats was related to the letter he received early in the morning from an old cultivator at the Nine Leaf Workshop.
This old cultivator, representing the Yun Family, seemed to have discovered some secret and was urgently seeking a face-to-face meeting with Su Ping.
The Nine Leaf Workshop was near Golden Sparrow City, which, in some sense, was also under the jurisdiction of Su Ping as an Inspector.
Through the mice scattered around, Su Ping had also confirmed that there were no Evil Spirits prowling the area, nor had any demon beasts appeared.
Having acquired the Pot Cave Heaven and greatly increased his ability to protect himself, Su Ping, after much hesitation, decided to make the trip.
To see what the Yun Family had actually learned.
After reaching the Fourth Layer of Body Refining, Su Ping’s speed had become even faster.
Last time, it took a whole morning, but now, he arrived at Nine Leaf Mountain in only a two-hour period.
And this was because Su Ping did not rush with all his might.
Having sold sugar multiple times, Su Ping was familiar with the path and entered the mist, ascending the mountainside.
“Taoist Su has arrived?”
Inside the Yunbao Tower, the old cultivator brightened up when he saw Su Ping, hastily rising to welcome him.
After entering the inner hall.
Su Ping discovered a middle-aged cultivator with a similar aura awaiting him.
This middle-aged cultivator had distinct facial features, a sharp brow, and an aquiline nose, with a hint of an aura of decisiveness about him.
“Junior Brother Su, long time no see,” the middle-aged cultivator said warmly upon seeing Su Ping.
Su Ping also remembered the identity of this cultivator.
An elder brother who had joined the Immortal Sect ten years before him and had once replaced a teaching instructor to educate them, the Outer Sect disciples, on fundamental cultivation techniques.
And then… there was no more contact.
The last thing he heard was that he seemed to have married a cultivator from a family.
Now, it seems he married a lady from the Yun Family?
After some pleasantries, the other party didn’t waste words and began to reveal the secret uncovered by the Yun Family:
The main reason for the current chaos in the Chi Yuan Immortal Sect was the Supreme Elder, the Nascent Soul True Monarch who inherited the name of Immortal Chi Yuan.
He has been in closed-door cultivation for nearly fifty years!
Even for a Nascent Soul Great Power, fifty years of cultivation was exceedingly rare.
It led some to speculate whether the Supreme Elder had failed to extend his lifespan and had passed away in meditation?
As a result, some people with ulterior motives began to stir the waters in the guise of various causes, constantly probing the truth.
And the sect didn’t know the exact situation; as it stood, it was just barely keeping things from rapidly deteriorating.
“Supreme Elder, could he really have passed away in meditation instead of having other plans?” Su Ping asked in a low voice, frowning after listening.
Having been through the information age, Su Ping instinctively felt there was deceit involved and it should not be taken at face value.
To his surprise, the middle-aged cultivator across from him nodded, indicating that they too were suspecting whether it was a ploy from those above.
“Our cultivation level and status are too low; we simply don’t qualify to be part of this game,” he said.
“But the waves created by those high and mighty figures are battering the small boat we rely on for survival to pieces, even putting us in immediate danger.”
“Therefore, our Yun Family wants to find a way to save ourselves!”
“Junior Brother Su, do you know of the Overseas Islands?”
