Chapter 100: A sudden wealth, a thousand illusion masks!
"The soul-path magic weapon is actually a mask?"
When Xiao Changqing searched the corpse, apart from the white-haired old woman's storage bag and the white bone staff whose body was damaged by his Six-Combination Sword Technique, he did not find any soul-related magic weapons at first.
It was not until he used his spiritual sense to scan it with all his strength that he discovered something unusual.
Because even though this white-haired old woman was dead, Xiao Changqing's spiritual consciousness still could not penetrate her head.
Once the spiritual consciousness spread to her head, it was as if she was 'blind'.
The head is clearly there and can be seen by the eyes, but when one uses spiritual consciousness to sense it, the head area is empty.
Then Xiao Changqing touched the other person's face and finally lifted up a mask as thin as a cicada's wing from his face.
Now that the white-haired old woman is dead, the imprint of spiritual consciousness on the mask has also dissipated. Xiao Changqing refined it in an instant, and the system also responded.
【Thousand Illusion Masks】
[A soul magic weapon made of special materials. When worn, it can not only greatly weaken the spiritual attack of the early stage of Dan formation and below, but also has a myriad of illusions. (When disguising as someone else, you need to have one of the other person's commonly used personal items in order to perfectly transform and have the same aura)]
[Equipment conditions: None]
[Equipment Effect: Improved Comprehension, Improved Charm]
There is no need to test the effect of the mask yourself. The system is like a scanning machine, clearly introducing the origin and functions of the mask, just like an instruction manual is included.
A third-order, low-grade soul weapon!
A genuine third-level magic weapon!
This is a treasure that is enough to make even Jindan cultivators excited!
It can block most of the power of the early Jindan level spiritual attack. No wonder when Xiao Changqing used the nightmare technique just now, the white-haired old woman only showed a look of pain on her face at the beginning, but quickly recovered and attacked himself.
With his current spiritual strength, the power of the nightmare technique he unleashed was only comparable to the early stage of Jindan, and it was still far from the true early stage of Jindan.
"Good stuff!"
Xiao Changqing couldn't put it down.
Although his spiritual awareness was powerful, far surpassing that of cultivators of the same level, and he also possessed two spiritual awareness secret techniques, this did not mean that he did not need soul defense magic weapons.
and.
In addition to resisting mental attacks, this Thousand Illusion Mask also has the ability to perform 'ever-changing' illusions.
Just like the white-haired old woman who disguised herself as Ruan Qingzhu just now, they were almost exactly the same, without any flaws from appearance to aura and soul.
If Xiao Changqing hadn't realized during the conversation that the other party was calling him by the wrong name, he would have probably been fooled.
"Resisting spiritual attacks and illusions, these are the inherent effects of the magic weapon. Adding the two major skills extracted by the system, it is equivalent to four skills!"
Xiao Changqing felt emotional.
Of the two skills extracted by the system, the charm enhancement might be useless in Xiao Changqing's opinion.
After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, the strong prey on the weak and strength is respected. If your talent is high enough and your strength is strong enough, then you will be the most attractive. Most of the people you meet around you are good people, and female immortals will flock to you.
If one's strength is weak and one is at the bottom of the immortal cultivation world, no matter how good one's appearance and temperament are, or how charming one is, it will be of no avail.
This is especially true for male practitioners.
Even female cultivators find it difficult to make a living by relying on their charm in the world of immortal cultivation.
Just like Lin Ziyu back then.
What caught Xiao Changqing's attention was the first skill, "Improved Comprehension".
This is a very practical little trick.
Before this, Xiao Changqing already had an experience of 'Enlightenment Enhancement' on the 'Enlightenment Cushion' and knew what this skill represented.
If we use a more vivid description from our previous life, an improvement in understanding is equivalent to an increase in IQ!
The higher your understanding, the higher your IQ will be, and you will 'grow a brain'!
Don't think that "IQ" is useless in the world of immortal cultivation. On the contrary, in addition to spiritual root qualifications, the most important thing in the world of immortal cultivation is probably "IQ".
Because of the improvement of comprehension, whether it is practicing martial arts or learning to draw talismans, refine pills, form formations, puppets and other immortal arts, the proficiency will be increased quickly.
Therefore, the higher the level of understanding, the higher the level of evil will be.
"This Thousand Illusion Mask, just to improve one skill, must be equipped."
Xiao Changqing glanced at the current equipment bar and took out the second piece of equipment, the 'Jade Slip for Transmitting Powers'.
The Jade Slip of Transmission of Skills is the experience of practicing the "Eternal Life Skill" left by a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building to his descendants. After equipping it, one can obtain the ultimate effect of the "Eternal Life Skill".
More than ten years have passed, and Xiao Changqing has now established his foundation. His proficiency in the Changsheng Gong has also reached a high level, completely covering the equipment effect.
So this piece of equipment is of no use to Xiao Changqing.
hum~
The second frame of the inventory interface quickly changed to a smaller version of the Thousand Illusions Mask. Xiao Changqing was just about to feel what it was like to have his "comprehension increased" doubled. However, Xiao Changqing did not feel any change at all. He did not feel like he had grown a brain after equipping the enlightenment cushion, and his thinking did not become clearer.
"How is this going?"
Xiao Changqing felt something was wrong and quickly looked at the system interface, only to find that a small red exclamation mark lit up next to the second equipment box.
When I clicked on it, I found a new note on the skill interface: Two identical skills cannot be stacked at present.
"Can't be superimposed?"
Xiao Changqing was a little confused.
His calculations failed. He originally thought that two "perception enhancements" would be equivalent to double the effect, but now the system told him that there was no way 1+1=2!
"It's so hard for me..."
Xiao Changqing shook his head helplessly.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this requirement of the system is not unreasonable.
If it can be superimposed, and one plus one equals two, then it means it can be added up to one hundred or one thousand!
Especially now that the foundation has been successfully established, the system's inventory has completely released restrictions. Xiao Changqing can stack skills at will, and he will soon be able to become a truly all-round warrior, with every talent maxed out.
This is true for comprehension, talent in the art of talismans, and even spiritual root qualifications!
He only needs to find one more piece of equipment with a spiritual root qualification of +1, and he can be promoted directly from his current earthly spiritual roots to heavenly spiritual roots!
It's a bit too buggy.
Now that there is a rule that says you cannot stack items, if you want to upgrade your talents and skills to a higher level in the future, you can only look for higher-level equipment.
"However, the system's note is that stacking is not possible at the moment, but it doesn't say that it will never be possible. In the future, when your cultivation level is improved to the level of Jindan or even Yuanying, perhaps the stacking function will be available?"
Xiao Changqing couldn't help but fantasize in his heart.
Of course, these are all things for later.
The improvement in comprehension cannot be accumulated, and Xiao Changqing himself cannot sense the improvement in charm, so he put the Thousand Illusions Mask into the inventory and began to check other things in the white-haired old woman's storage bag.
"Wow, there are quite a lot of spirit stones. There are actually more than a hundred middle-grade spirit stones and more than a thousand low-grade spirit stones..."
"These bottles and jars... seem to contain elixirs. But some of them look more like poisons, worthy of being an evil cultivator. But no matter whether it is poison or elixir, if it can be left by a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, its value will not be low. When I have time, I will go find the alchemist Zhu Youlong and ask him to help me identify it carefully."
"There are still so many ancient elixirs?"
"There aren't many talismans, and the highest is only a second-level low-grade talisman, which is useless to me. Tsk tsk, would an evil cultivator carry so many evil-breaking talismans and mind-calming talismans with him?"
Xiao Changqing checked the contents of the white-haired old woman's storage bag and found a lot of good things.
The spirit stones are equivalent to more than 11,000 low-grade spirit stones. Overall, the spirit stones only account for a small proportion.
A pile of pills and properly preserved elixirs are of inestimable value.
As for talismans, Xiao Changqing, as a second-level talisman master, has the most of them.
But he discovered that the white-haired old woman was an evil cultivator and was carrying two thick stacks of dozens of evil-breaking talismans and mind-calming talismans. This meant that even if she was an evil cultivator and had only reached the Foundation Establishment stage, she would be very wary of encountering evil spirits.
In the future, Xiao Changqing will have to be more careful in this regard.
In addition, there is the Thousand Illusions Mask, a third-rank low-grade soul weapon, whose value cannot be measured by low-grade spirit stones. It is a treasure that low-level cultivators cannot buy with spirit stones.
As for the bone staff and the early second-stage robe worn by the white-haired old woman, they were all tattered by the Six Harmonies Sword Art and were worthless.
"No wonder there is no shortage of robbers in the world of immortal cultivation at any time. It is so easy to get rich overnight by robbing houses and making a fortune!"
Xiao Changqing sighed in his heart.
All the wealth of the white-haired old woman now belongs to him, which is more than the spiritual stones he earned from drawing talismans in the past ten years, plus the money earned by the Lin sisters from opening Guangju Tower in the past two years!
Now that he has become so wealthy, even if he has to leave Nanshanfang and settle down in a big fairy city after a while, he will not be short of spirit stones in the short term.
Thinking of this, Xiao Changqing looked at Cao Hao, the head of the Cao family, who was lying motionless on the ground, unable to extricate himself from the illusion.
If this person has really joined the evil cultivators as he guessed, then he really cannot stay in Nanshanfang. Xiao Changqing must find an opportunity to leave Nanshanfang as soon as possible.
Although according to the current rules between the Great Yu Immortal Cultivation World and the evil cultivators of the Demon Sect, Jindan cultivators cannot go to the battlefield, and disciples of both sects cannot start a war lightly, both sides restrain their fights in the market places and between independent cultivators.
With Xiao Changqing's strength, there will be no danger.
But the Cao family has surrendered to the enemy. Even if Cao Hao is killed by him, who will guard Nanshanfang next?
We can't let him take the lead, right? That doesn't make sense.
He didn't want to rush forward and fight to the death.
The Cao family, Luoxia Sect, and Baihua Valley are all not interested in Nanshanfang, and they all want to kill him, but he still goes up to them and risks his own life, unless he is crazy.
"Let me see what's going on with your Cao family!"
Xiao Changqing waved his hand, and Cao Hao closed his eyes and stood up from the ground, like a puppet. As Xiao Changqing used illusions to induce and force a confession, Cao Hao told everything he knew and the secrets hidden in his heart.
