Chapter 173: Legendary Level, Frost Sky's Will
Lin Yunqing didn't let Jiang Lou and the others continue to show off.
After interrupting them, she said, "Senior, I just heard from the doctor that you can't put too much stress on yourself these few days. It's best to rest for a while."
"Well, that's true." Yu Cang sighed.
That's what Old Man Ren had just told me. Just stay in the hospital for a few days and don't go anywhere.
Yu Cang felt that there was nothing serious wrong with him, but the doctor's words sounded scary and Ren Zheng's face was serious, so he decided to follow their advice.
"Looks like I'll have to stay in the lab by myself for the time being," Lin Yunqing said. "Senior, get well soon. There are only a few synchronized samples right now, so processing the data won't take too long."
"I know." Yu Cang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Lin Yunqing nodded, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he said, "By the way, Senior, do you have the key to the card making room with you?"
"Yeah, I brought it. What's wrong?"
"That's good—after I heard about this, I went to the card-making room to take a look, and sure enough, you didn't lock the door, so I locked it."
"Um...thank you so much then."
Lin Yunqing is indeed very thoughtful. You even found such a tricky loophole.
"Master." Qiu Ding said at this time, "I handed the soul card to Gu Luo. He was very moved and even cried. Hahahaha."
"Really?" Yu Cang smiled. "I'm glad I can help... By the way, Lin Yunqing, do you have a blank soul card?"
Lin Yunqing was stunned and said, "Yes...what's wrong?"
"Give me a few. I've been relying on these to keep me entertained during these days in the hospital."
Lin Yunqing couldn't help but stand in awe.
Consider making new soul cards as a break... Unexpectedly, the senior is actually a similar person to me.
She said, "Is it okay?"
Yu Cang was very confident: "Don't worry, I know what's going on. It's just a small thing, it won't increase your mental stress."
When others create soul cards that require resonance, the mental pressure will indeed increase accordingly.
But he relies on entry implantation and has no such concerns.
"That's good." Lin Yunqing took out a stack of blank soul cards and a formation writing pen from his pocket and placed them on the headboard of Yu Cang's bed. "This is all I have. You can use it first. If it's not enough, I'll bring some more tomorrow."
She just thought Yu Cang wanted to make some gadgets that didn't require resonance, so she didn't refuse.
"Okay, that's a great help."
He felt uncomfortable after being stuck in the ward for so many days without being able to do anything. He might as well just hold onto the blank soul card and see if he could luck out and draw something good.
Lin Yunqing and the others chatted in the room for a while and then left. The ward became quiet again.
With nothing to do, Yu Cang took out a blank soul card and glanced at the implantation success rate on the panel.
Wow... the success rate of Frost Wings implantation is 4.5%!
This probability is undoubtedly very high for a legendary entry.
It seems that having a summonable being nearby does increase the success rate.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In nature, there are some wild souls. The reasons for their formation vary, but most of them have low IQs and only the instinct to survive in their hearts. They will not harm others.
Ordinary people cannot even detect the existence of these souls.
Some card makers like to find these spirits and seal them into their own soul cards. If they are lucky, they can get a soul card that can move independently. However, this requires a very high level of skill from the card maker, and to be honest, many wild souls are dull and may even hinder the team in battle.
Moreover, before sealing the soul into the soul card, no one knows whether this soul is suitable for this soul card, and many times the gain does not outweigh the loss.
However, since it was produced by the entry recorder, Yu Cang believed that the souls summoned would be very suitable.
If this conjecture is correct, then when he implants some entries in the future, he may have to try his luck in those deep mountains and forests.
Putting his thoughts aside, Yu Cang picked out a formula at random and tried to implant it, but failed.
He was not surprised, after all, the success rate was not very high.
Just try more these days.
After putting away the blank soul card, Yu Cang's gaze fell on the countdown that had stopped for a long time.
After hesitating for a while, Yu Cang canceled it.
Although this was his first mythical extraction, he could no longer enter the Bloodline Empire, so there was no point in keeping it.
This countdown is taking up space here, so it’s better to cancel it... After all, he still has a lot of soul cards waiting to be extracted.
"Let me see...it's you!" Yu Cang directly started the entry extraction on the forbidden engine.
As expected, a countdown of one day appeared on it.
He was thinking about it, but he saw that Gu Jieshuang had sat up at some point, wrapped in a quilt, looking at him without blinking.
"What's wrong?" Yu Cang asked.
"It's okay..." Gu Jieshuang laughed, "This time it's all thanks to the boss."
“It should be.”
"Okay, enough talking... Boss, you must be hungry, right? How about I go out and buy you something to eat?"
"Hmm? But your body..."
"I'm healed!" Gu Jieshuang broke through the quilt and showed his biceps to Yu Cang with his clenched fists.
The muscles on Gu Jieshuang's body are not that exaggerated, but the lines are very smooth and look very pleasing to the eye.
Yu Cang's eyes widened slightly: "But you were having a fever just now..."
"Hehe." Gu Jieshuang raised her head, looking quite proud. "Are you shocked? This is how fast a mixed-blood can heal! - Okay, boss, just lie down obediently. I'll take care of you for the next few days!"
On the side, the weeping girl was shocked.
Oh no, the hostess is going to take my job!
…
Just like that, Yu Cang suddenly became free.
You can't go anywhere in the hospital and can only be forced to enjoy a life of having clothes to wear and food to eat.
Fortunately, after observing for half a day, the doctor allowed him to practice meditation, so Yu Cang did not waste this time. He installed the [Meditation] entry and began the accelerated practice process.
He really needs to improve his strength now.
Soon, a day passed.
A line of text is updated on the entry recorder:
The entry extraction is complete, and the legendary entry is obtained: [Ascension], epic entry: [Advanced Evolution], rare entry: [Race: Consciousness], and common entry: [Emotion].
Yu Cang nodded with satisfaction.
Yes, that's what he wanted.
Yu Cang took out another blank soul card and tried it. Sure enough - after [Frost Wings] + [Race: Consciousness], the success rate directly increased to a level and reached 19%!
His guess turned out to be correct - Frostwing's current situation was different from that of a soul. She was just a consciousness. A soul could still float around in the real world, but consciousness had no carrier and could do nothing.
If you want to summon her, you still have to work hard on the entry formula.
On the side, Gu Jieshuang had just boiled a pot of hot water. She just blew gently and the temperature of the water became just right.
She poured hot water into the paper cup, looked up and saw Yu Cang's happy face, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong, boss? Why are you so happy?"
"Nothing... I just had a sudden inspiration!" Yu Cang directly took out the blank soul card and the formation writing pen, and after thinking for a moment, he selected a formula.
[Bloodline: Frost Wings] + [Race: Consciousness] + [Endless] + [Control] + [Thinking] + [Self-destruction]!
The meaning of the [Self-destruct] entry was somewhat unclear, but strangely, after adding this entry, the success rate did increase slightly, so Yu Cang hesitated for a moment and added it anyway.
As a result, the implantation success rate of the entire formula reached an astonishing 31%!
This number is largely due to the [Race: Consciousness] entry. Yu Cang had tried it before, and after using this entry, the success rate dropped directly to one-third of the original, demonstrating the importance of this entry.
Tried to implant it, but it didn't work.
Yu Cang was not discouraged. With such a high probability, success was only a matter of time.
but……
Yu Cang glanced at Gu Jieshuang quietly, and then a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. He took the formation writing pen and began to write and draw on the blank soul card.
After all, I just said that I had an inspiration, so it would be a bit strange to put down the pen immediately.
Moreover, now is not a critical moment like the one in the snow mountain, and Yu Cang has to pay attention to the impact. He can't just take out the legendary soul card in an instant this time... That would be a bit too scary, so he decided that during the period before the implantation was successful, he would pretend to hold the formation writing pen and pretend that he had spent a long time to complete a legendary soul card.
Seeing Yu Cang immediately immersed in his work, Gu Jieshuang's eyes were a little worried: "Boss...don't work too hard, you are not fully recovered yet."
"It's okay. The doctor has allowed me to meditate, so this little bit of work is no problem." Yu Cang even equipped himself with relevant items, and the resonance of ice attribute was activated in his eyes.
Just do the whole act.
Gu Jieshuang secretly glanced at the patterns Yu Cang drew on the blank soul card... Well, I couldn't understand it at all.
My grades in card-making theory weren't too bad, but compared to a genius like my boss, they were clearly far from impressive...
Gu Jieshuang said this with emotion.
What she didn't know was that, let alone her, even if Ren Zheng ran over, he wouldn't be able to understand what Yu Cang was drawing.
It's just a complete scribble.
Just like that, in the next few days, whenever Yu Cang had some free time, he would take out the writing pen and pretend to practice, his expression kept changing, sometimes he was thinking, sometimes he was excited, sometimes he had a sudden realization, sometimes he was ecstatic, he interpreted the word acting to the fullest.
Finally, when Yu Cang implanted it for the fourth time, the blank soul card in his hand emitted a gorgeous red light!
Yu Cang's face lit up with joy.
Success!
He quickly looked at the soul card in his hand.
…
Soul Card Name: Ancient Frost Will
Category: Summon Card
Quality: Heirloom
Attribute: Ice
Race: Consciousness
ability:
[Listen to Falling Frost and Snow]: When the Ancient Frost Will is present, the user can modify and upgrade the abilities of their own spell cards of related attributes based on the current celestial phenomena. As long as the celestial phenomena are favorable, the soul energy cost of the spell card remains unchanged. If others use a spell card of the same attribute, they can increase or decrease its cost as desired. Increased costs cannot exceed the maximum value of the card's quality; reduced costs are borne by the celestial phenomena.
[Sleeping Together in the Cold Weather]: When entering the death cooldown, if the weather conditions are favorable, freeze as many targets as possible within a certain range.
[Cold Beast]: After activation, you can enter other summoned cards in the same deck. If you do so, its attribute will be changed to ice, and it will gain the ability: [Frost Embrace]: When the weather or environment is suitable, it reduces mental stress and increases ability strength.
[Cold Blade]: After activation, you can enter other equipment cards in the same deck. If you do so, its attribute will be changed to ice and gain the ability: [Frost Wings]: When the user summons other ice attribute equipment cards, the attached equipment card will gain the ability to fly and move independently.
[Cold Breed]: In a single summon, each time the user freezes a target, the targets of [Cold Beast] and [Cold Blade] will be increased by 1.
[Bloodline]: This Soul Card can only be activated when the user is Gu Jieshuang or a related bloodline holder. At this time, the Ancient Frost Will can change the quality of the Soul Card and its abilities.
…
Yu Cang's eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction.
Great, another masterpiece!
Look at this ability, look at this effect, it's simply a work of art!
What does it mean to be overbearing? Look at the ability of [Listen to Falling Frost and Snow], it can directly modify spell cards! It's simply a limited card printer.
Even without looking at the rest of the story, based on this ability alone, this soul card is definitely worthy of its heirloom quality!
Although most of this Soul Card's abilities require celestial phenomena, and presumably require a snowy environment to trigger, it doesn't matter. There are plenty of Field Cards that can change the environment. For example, Gu Jieshuang's [Frost Sky Slash] ability, [Frost Sky], can also modify celestial phenomena, right?
The two soul cards added together are definitely more than two.
This soul card is definitely an outstanding one among the handed-down soul cards.
Furthermore, this Ancient Frost Will possessed abilities similar to the Forbidden Engine, capable of entering other Soul Cards and even modifying their own qualities... Could this be a characteristic of the Consciousness race? Or perhaps, a characteristic of a Legendary Consciousness?
It seems that the Ancient Frost Will is not as convenient to use on other soul cards as the Weeping Girl, and needs to be activated. However, it gives the corresponding soul card an additional ability, which is also very powerful.
If you think about it this way, banned cards seem to have similar characteristics. For example, some banned cards have no quality distinction. No matter the level of the Soul Card Master, as long as you get a banned card, you can use it directly. However, if you are too weak, the consequences may be a bit disastrous.
Doesn’t this correspond to the setting that conscious races can modify their own qualities?
As for entering other soul cards... he hasn't heard much about this, but some banned cards can indeed contaminate other normal soul cards in the same deck, which seems to be similar.
Yu Cang stroked his chin, lost in thought.
These two characteristics of the consciousness race are very powerful, and can play a strong auxiliary role in almost all mainstream card decks.
How could such a good race be equated with banned cards... He later discussed this with Cheng Mingye, and even in the Reception Bureau, the view on the race of consciousness bodies was that they were banned cards.
People nowadays still have too deep a misunderstanding about this race. When he has time later, he will improve this race.
"Boss? What's wrong?" Gu Jieshuang ran into the house.
Just now, she was fetching water outside. When she saw a gorgeous red light coming out of the house, she ignored everything, put down the kettle and rushed into the room.
Then she saw that the boss was sitting on the hospital bed, his eyes closed with a look of satisfaction. In his palm, a red soul card still had a lingering light.
Gu Jieshuang's breathing stopped.
Wait, red... no way?
The boss has made another legendary one?! !
It turns out that when the boss said "inspiration", he was referring to inspiration that would be passed down from generation to generation!
Gu Jieshuang's heart was shocked.
You know, even for a master card maker, creating a new Legendary card is a daunting task. It requires repeated trips to dangerous locations to resonate, and even hours of toiling away might not yield any results. And yet, the boss... just sat in a hospital bed for four days and created one?
Gu Jieshuang's mouth opened slightly, but she was relieved immediately.
That's right... With the boss's talent, those epic rare cards are really not worth spending so much time on.
So the legendary level is the only answer... I should have thought of it earlier!
At this time, Yu Cang slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at Gu Jieshuang and said with a smile, "You're here... Take a look, this is a soul card made especially for you."
Gu Jieshuang's heart moved.
Made for yourself? ...Not really...
She took the soul card and was stunned when she saw it.
As expected, this is another soul card that only I can use... So powerful, still as powerful as ever!
It’s just… woooo, she hasn’t paid off the debt for the previous soul card yet, how come another one came!
Are you going to let us live or not?
She was just feeling smug about paying off 30,000 yuan a few days ago...how come her debt doubled in the blink of an eye?
Gu Jieshuang wanted to cry but had no tears.
Or maybe...
Cough cough.
Then again, being able to enter other soul cards and modify their own qualities... she had never heard of any of these abilities before.
Could it be that... with my current strength, I can also use this card?
Gu Jieshuang's breathing became a little rapid.
Is she dreaming about using a handed-down card on a level 4 Soul Card Master? But looking at the description, it's clearly possible!
How about... give it a try?
She looked at Yu Cang, who nodded gently: "Let's try it."
Gu Jieshuang quickly agreed, suppressed his excitement, and summoned a frost-white sword and a brave iron sword.
"I activate [Bloodline], changing the quality of Ancient Frost Will to: Rare! And activate: [Cold Blade]!"
Click!
In an instant, a layer of frost visibly formed on the ordinary quality brave iron sword, and then it slowly flew up under the influence of an inexplicable force.
Gu Jieshuang looked delighted.
Success!
She actually used a legendary soul card!
This, this, this... Gu Jieshuang was at a loss for words for a moment. After repeating the words several times, she could only say "awesome".
However, before she could fully feel the power of the ancient frosty will, she suddenly heard the sound of the frozen brave iron sword in the air:
"I Chao? Where am I?"
Gu Jieshuang was stunned.
It's broken, it's fierce, I see my sword talking.
Suddenly, Yu Cang thought of something and asked tentatively, "Aunt? Is that you?"
"Yu Cang?" The Brave Iron Sword flew to Yu Cang and circled around him a few times. "Are you really summoning me?... I thought I was hallucinating."
At this time, Gu Jieshuang had also reacted, and a hint of joy appeared on her face: "Aunt? You are out too?"
The brave Iron Sword flew into the air and nodded. "Yes, that day I was planning to burn my true blood and my will to send you out. That way, I would be dead and that idiot would have no way to enslave me."
Hearing this, Gu Jieshuang could only smile apologetically.
My aunt has a really fierce temper...
But the Brave Iron Sword changed the subject: "However, I had just burned a little bit and opened a small hole in the passage when a terrifyingly strong force suddenly came from outside... I wanted to resist, but it ended up knocking me unconscious. When I woke up, I found that I was trapped in this drop of true blood and couldn't get out!"
She said angrily, "Damn it! Don't let me know who is responsible for this power, or I will make him pay!"
"Cough cough." Yu Cang coughed dryly.
Don’t let Old Man Ren hear this.
"Oh, right." Brave Iron Sword flew to Yu Cang's side again and said, "What were you muttering when you summoned me just now?"
"Huh? What?" Yu Cang was stunned.
The brave Iron Sword thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "It seems to be a bunch of names, like Sanqing, Bodhisattva, Amen, Tathagata, etc. There are quite a lot of them, and I didn't hear them clearly."
"Cough cough cough!" Yu Cang coughed even harder, "Um... it's nothing, it's nothing, don't worry about it, hahahaha..."
What are you doing!
How could someone else hear the words he was mumbling? No one told him this!
Wait, could it be that the Weeping Girl also heard it...
Yu Cang took a deep breath.
It should... it shouldn't be a big problem. Before she was summoned, the Weeping Girl didn't speak Yan language, so she probably wouldn't understand... right.
"Let's not talk about that." The brave Iron Sword said with emotion, "Yu Cang, you can actually summon me to the mortal world without me having to pay any price. It's just that this body is a bit strange... Not bad, not bad. You are worthy of being the one chosen by my descendants. You are amazing!"
Yu Cang was about to say something modest when he heard the brave Iron Sword continue:
"Oh, by the way, have you ever mated? Do you have any cubs? If so, let me play with them!"
"Cough, cough, cough!" Now Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang were coughing together.
"Well...it's still early..."
"Is that so?" The brave Iron Sword was very disappointed.
"By the way, aunt, actually I summoned you out this time because I have something to ask you..." Yu Cang quickly started asking about the business.
…
Just like that, Ren Zheng and Gu Zhihan, who had just left for a few days, came back again.
In the small ward, the two looked at each other.
"No." Ren Zheng couldn't help but say, "Your efficiency is too high, isn't it?"
He was still comforting Cang a few days ago, saying that he knew it was very difficult for Cang to reach the legendary level, and he wanted Yu Cang not to feel so much pressure.
As a result, it’s only been four days and you actually took out a legendary card?
Are you playing this realistically?
On the other side, Gu Zhihan's expression looked a little strange.
So fast... This is definitely not a normal resonance method!
Are you guys also... in the ward?
For a moment, Gu Zhihan took a deep breath and clenched his fists again and again, but in the end he said nothing.
Whatever... She knew that her thinking was no longer keeping up with the times.
I heard that young people nowadays like this kind of thing... Let them be.
An old guy like me will only annoy people if I talk too much.
Looking at Gu Zhihan's strange expression, Yu Cang could only laugh dryly.
Next to her, Gu Jieshuang was still dazed, unaware of what her biological mother was thinking.
The other side.
The brave iron sword floated in the air very obediently, not daring to breathe.
Oh my god... Isn’t the aura of the old man next to me the source of the power I sensed that day!
That power is mythical!
What? Mythology is everywhere these days? Why are you dressed like an ordinary teacher?
Look at his relationship with Yu Cang... Oh no, this must be Yu Cang's elder!
And what she just said, "I must make him pay"... Help me, she just wanted to satisfy her desire to talk and say some harsh words, but she never thought about putting it into practice!
No way, Yu Cang won’t complain, right?
After all, hearing him call me "auntie" so sincerely, he must be on my side in his heart!
Frostwing could only comfort himself in this way.
"Hello." Ren Zheng spoke politely, which frightened the brave Iron Sword.
"Ah? Ah! Go ahead, go ahead."
"..." Ren Zheng was a little surprised. Why was he so startled?
However, he didn't think much about it and said directly: "I am Ren Zheng, a guardian of the current Yan Kingdom. I came here this time to learn about the Emperor's Seal. I heard from Xiao Cang that you think the seal in the Bloodline Empire is the Emperor's Seal that Emperor Wu once used. Is that correct?"
Seeing Ren Zhengting's politeness, Yongshuang Zhiyi felt a little relieved.
She thought for a moment and said, "Yes... I will never mistake the appearance and aura of the Emperor's Seal. It is definitely the Emperor's Seal!"
Ren Zheng nodded slowly.
Good news, Yan Country seems to have found another mythical soul card.
Bad news... According to Yu Cang, the Emperor's Seal looks a bit miserable now, and I don't know if it can be repaired.
Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and asked again, "I have another question. Who is that Yaoqi who calls himself the Demon King... among the spirit beasts?"
After he returned, he checked many books, but no matter which book, there was no record of the so-called Demon King.
Even if there are any, they are most likely just ordinary spirit beasts that rule the mountains. Those powerful spirit beasts would never use such names that would attract hatred.
Hearing this, Frostwing spoke with a hint of disdain: "Demon King? He's nothing but an ungrateful thief... I had never heard of the Demon King's name before I died in battle. Although his ability to control true blood is indeed extraordinary, after spending a few days in Jieshuang's bloodline, I finally understood."
Her tone became a little more serious. "I wonder if you've ever seen the Emperor's Seal? On the seal, there's a carving of a spirit beast called a Chilong. Rumor has it that Emperor Wu borrowed the power of the Chilong clan when crafting the Emperor's Seal. That so-called Demon King must have used this connection to forcibly seize the Emperor's Seal after Emperor Wu's death!"
Thanks to 20220701210007899 for the reward!
