#104 - Everlasting Snow
“Eight thousand eight hundred and sixty-four, plus five hundred is six thousand nine, plus the two thousand plus points I had left before, then I now have more than nine thousand points, not yet ten thousand~”
“Not enough, System~ I want to draw a lottery!”
“Ding~! Please provide keywords for this lottery draw to assist and limit the scope of prize selection.”
“Keywords… If it’s cultivation techniques, I don’t need them for the time being. "Mixed Yuan Skill" is enough for me to cultivate for a while, at least until the next trial world opens, or even ends.
It would be difficult for me to cultivate this skill to the highest level. As for switching to another skill, I won’t consider it for the time being. "Mixed Yuan Skill" is actually not bad.”
“In terms of techniques for fighting enemies, I have anti-joint techniques for unarmed combat. If I have time, I can also study the Taizu Long Fist, Shattering Stone Kick, etc. As for swordsmanship~ I’ll practice the "Mount Heng Swordplay" for now.”
“For lightness skills, I have "Crossing the River on a Reed." This Shaolin masterpiece of lightness skill seems to be even better than "Mixed Yuan Skill," and it’s already enough for me to practice.
As for body refining techniques~ The third level of "Golden Bell Shield" is already the limit, and there’s no better choice for the time being.”
“In terms of skills, besides the two passives that I comprehended myself, only "Observation Skill" is usable. "Ricochet" and "Magic Aureole" can only be looked at, and cannot be unlocked without magic power.”
“…So, the thing I lack most now is still an item, or a kind, that can open up the cultivation system of magic for me.”
Thinking of this, a bitter smile couldn't help but appear on Liang Yue's face, and he subconsciously scratched his itchy scalp.
“Then choose magic?”
“But this range is too broad. Wouldn’t that be the same as choosing immortal cultivation? All kinds of equipment, weapons, pills, materials, herbs, spirit stones… The chances of drawing a cultivation technique are slim.”
“Forget it, magic it is~”
“You can’t catch a wolf without putting out a cub! Anyway, I don’t lack anything else now, so I have to gamble!”
“System, let it be magic!”
“Ding~! Keyword "Magic" has been confirmed. Do you want to start the lottery draw immediately?”
As soon as the System finished speaking, that familiar roulette wheel immediately appeared in front of Liang Yue, with a black background and a red needle, surrounded by densely packed and colorful hues, making someone feel a little dizzy.
“Draw now! Start~”
…
“Stop!”
…
“Ding~! Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a "Ten Thousand Year Snow Frost," an item from the game world "Legend." After taking it, it can restore 100 points of health and magic, and has the effects of healing and refreshing.”
“I’ll be damned! I’ll be damned! I’ll be damned your grand…!”
The moment he heard the lottery result, Liang Yue immediately jumped up from his seat, his eyes slightly red, with a face full of ferocity, and kicked the grand master's chair behind him fiercely!
One kick, two kicks, three kicks…
Later, he still felt unsatisfied. This guy even took out two knives from the storage space and unleashed a Musou frenzy on the broken wood.
It wasn't until he had chopped for more than a minute, and the wood in front of him had completely turned into a pile of debris, that Liang Yue began to pant heavily and slowly squatted down.
“I lost the bet…”
“Ten Thousand Year Snow Frost? You might as well have given me a bottle of Blessing Oil!”
Liang Yue subconsciously leaned over, took a light sniff, and immediately felt a refreshing sensation pouring into his whole body.
At the same time, this medicinal fragrance seemed to be accompanied by some kind of coolness. Upon closer inspection, the feeling seemed to place one on the snowy peaks of a mountain.
Under this medicinal fragrance, the bursts of restlessness and irritability in this guy's body instantly disappeared without a trace!
“Hmm?”
After regaining his senses, Liang Yue blinked his eyes at this time, looked at the medicinal material in his palm, felt the only slightly cool touch, and was immediately surprised in his heart.
“System, can this Ten Thousand Year Snow Frost be planted?”
“No.”
“Okay…”
A sense of disappointment flashed in his heart, and Liang Yue then brought his nostrils to the medicinal material again, smelled it hard, and then put it back into the storage space.
Afterward, this guy subconsciously knocked on his head, and a look of realization appeared on his face.
“It seems that my recent state of mind is a little unstable~”
…
The trip to the New Shaolin Five Ancestors world, or rather, going to various Heavens and Worlds for trials, has indeed had a great impact on Liang Yue.
Especially since he always descends with "hunting-type" missions, killing seems to have become the main theme of the trials.
Whether it's the surging tide of corpses in the Apocalypse world, or the court hawks in the Five Ancestors world~
When facing them, no matter how good Liang Yue's state of mind is in private, or how strong his adjustment ability is.
In short, after leaving the relatively peaceful modern society, Liang Yue will be more or less affected imperceptibly.
In addition to breaking out of various困境 and strengthening himself through the unique resources of the Heavens and Worlds, obtaining strength that others cannot easily obtain, various negative emotions also accompany his growth at all times.
Whether it is urging or困境, Liang Yue needs to adjust and face them alone.
“Is this the sequelae left after killing too much?”
Waving his hand to take out a big bed from the storage space, Liang Yue then lay straight on the bed, his whole body sinking into the soft quilt, looking up at the vast starry sky.
For a time, this guy felt a little dazed in his heart.
“So, those so-called war syndrome patients are real?”
“How come I suddenly got angry for no reason before? I was almost unable to suppress my emotions.”
“What to do? I don’t have any cultivation methods around me that can improve my state of mind, and martial arts mental methods such as "Ice Heart Technique" are also very rare. As for higher-level immortal cultivation techniques, I can’t access those yet.”
“But if you want to alleviate it, you can also imitate the ancients and recite Buddhist scriptures?”
“Although this young master has practiced Buddhist techniques, I don’t believe in Buddhism~”
“Nurturing my noble spirit? I don’t know how~”
“Why don’t I read the "Taoist Canon" when I have time later? Anyway, the original version of the scriptures is there.”
