According to the description in the original book, Taiyi Zhenren is an old man with a long beard, friendly and amiable. He has his hair tied up on his head and wears a crown, with shorter white hair hanging down to his chest on his temples and sides. He wears a blue and white Tai Chi robe, and is surrounded by clouds and mist.

Taishang Laojun and Taiyi Zhenren, these two old immortals are just right to be your companions.

In order to fit the skill setting, you can give Taiyi Zhenren a magic weapon in his left hand, the "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover". Nine fire dragons are circling around the golden cover, with the dragon heads just below the cover, spewing three kinds of true fire from their mouths.

After thinking everything through in his mind, Xie Mingzhe began to make the card of Taiyi Zhenren.

This is the most complex card he has made so far.

It took a full ten minutes and still wasn't done.

The weapon was extremely difficult to draw, and the nine fire dragons swirling on its surface were also a great test of the painter's mental strength.

In fact, Xie Mingzhe could have completely ignored these details and simply drawn a simple golden cover to create a seal effect, but Xie Mingzhe didn't want to be perfunctory like this. The memories in his mind are the treasures of Chinese civilization. In addition to making cards, he also wanted to let people in this world know about those long-lost stories. If he tampered with them at will, it would violate his original intention of making cards and be disrespectful to historical figures and myths and legends.

He couldn't just change the stories and characters at will just because people in this world didn't know them, and have Lin Daiyu kill a cow with one punch, or have Wang Zhaojun set fire to all the plants - even if he drew this design and no one doubted it, he would still feel guilty.

When making cards, skills can be designed according to the battle rules of the Star Card World, but he insists on respecting the characters and stories as much as possible when designing the characters, weapons, magic weapons, etc. in the cards.

The Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Cover is a very delicate magic weapon. It would not be enough to just draw a random golden cover. He had to draw it as close to the description in the original book as possible.

Xie Mingzhe concentrated on drawing the cards.

This time the card-making process took a long time. It was a full fifteen minutes before he opened his eyes. However, the nebula paper in front of him was shattered. It was obvious that the card-making process failed due to the disorder of his mental power.

Tang Muzhou was a little surprised. He took a step forward and asked with concern, "What's going on?"

Xie Mingzhe shook his head with a bitter face: "The weapons I designed are too complicated. It's hard to concentrate fully while drawing them."

Tang Muzhou asked: "Is it because you can't draw both weapons and characters at the same time? Or is it because weapons are difficult to shrink?"

Xie Mingzhe said: "There are reasons from both sides."

Tang Muzhou suggested gently, "Don't worry. If the weapon is too complicated, you can break down the designed card. Draw the weapon separately on a piece of nebula paper, but don't let the system review it, lest it be judged as a duplicate card after entering it. Then, find another piece of nebula paper and draw the character you want to draw. Finally, use your mental power to merge the two pieces of nebula paper."

Xie Mingzhe was stunned: "Is it still possible?"

Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "Of course. For complex cards, we usually break them down. For example, my thousand-year-old sacred tree has countless branches and leaves. Do you think I can draw it all at once? I drew ten cards at first and finally combined them together."

“…” Thanks to Tang Shen’s guidance, otherwise he would be too busy to draw the characters and the complicated weapons at the same time.

The details of the cards can be broken down, which makes it easier.

Xie Mingzhe immediately concentrated his mental energy and drew the imagined Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover on a card, and then drew the character of Taiyi Zhenren.

After both sides were completed, he put the two cards together and used his mental power to merge them. In his mind, the exquisite "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover" continued to shrink, becoming the size of a baby's fist, and was then firmly held in Taiyi Zhenren's hand.

With this, the card image is complete, and then the data and skills are set...

Another five minutes passed, and Xie Mingzhe opened his eyes and heard a familiar prompt: "Congratulations, the card production is complete, please connect to the database for review."

He immediately connected to the database and it was quickly approved. The "Yueban" logo also appeared on the back of the card.

Xie Mingzhe showed the completed card to Tang Muzhou: "God Tang, do you think this is okay?"

Tang Muzhou took the card and saw a picture of an old man with white hair and a smile between his eyebrows. He looked very friendly and kind. In his hand, the old man held a small fiery red weapon. Although the weapon was only as big as a child's fist, the details of the drawing were perfect.

A closer look revealed that the weapon was in the shape of a "hood" with several fiery red dragons circling around it. The dragons' mouths were facing downwards, spewing intense flames from their mouths. Each dragon was painted vividly. In addition to the dragons, there were many delicate patterns around the hood. At the top of the hood, there was a transparent bead inlaid, with fire flowing inside the bead, which was delicate and beautiful.

This design can be submitted for competition, right?

Tang Muzhou mentally praised the card's precision, and then looked at the card's data and skill descriptions.

Taiyi Zhenren (Fire Element)

Level: Level 1

Evolution Star Level:★

Use times: 1/1 time

Basic Attributes: HP 100, Attack 0, Defense 100, Agility 30, Crit 0%

Additional Skills: Nine Dragons Fire Cover (throw out the magic weapon in your hand, seal the designated Protoss card in the Nine Dragons Fire Cover, making the Protoss lose their ability to move)

Tang Muzhou: “…………”

Is this fat uncle's card-making inspiration really inexhaustible?

Tang Muzhou praised: "This card is indeed good. Not only is the skill design targeted at the entire Protoss, but its level of sophistication makes it the best card you have completed so far. However, how did you set up this weapon? It looks like metal. If it is metal, it should be classified as a gold card."

Xie Mingzhe said, "I didn't use metal elements when drawing the weapon in order to avoid the system classifying the card as metal. The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover has fire damage, so it is classified as fire. Isn't it said that fire overcomes metal? This way, it should be easier to hit the opponent's divine card, right?"

Tang Muzhou smiled and nodded: "It seems that you have figured out the rules of the database. The design of this weapon is really great."

Xie Mingzhe was very happy to receive Tang Shen's praise and asked excitedly: "The two cards I made today are both targeted at the gold system. Are there any other decks that need to be targeted?"

Tang Muzhou said: "Currently, you have targeted plants, animals, undead, spirits and god cards, covering most of the mainstream decks. The addition of dead cards is just to enrich the tactics. You can only bring one card in each game. Doing so much is enough."

Xie Mingzhe noticed an omission in his words and couldn't help asking, "Is there any human deck that hasn't been targeted yet?"

Tang Muzhou said, "Draw a random card and see if the card 'Human Race Death' can pass the review?"

Xie Mingzhe casually drew a nameless child with a skill called Curse, which caused instant death for all humans... As expected, the system rejected him: "The skill description failed to pass review." He remembered that the description "instant death" could only be applied to small categories, so he changed it to "instant death for human males." The system rejected him again, and he continued to change it to "instant death for human females," but the result was still the same.

Xie Mingzhe asked in confusion: "What's going on? Can't humans make instant death judgments?"

Tang Muzhou smiled slightly: "It's not that it can't be done, but someone has already done it. The instant death judgment skill is repeated."

"..." Xie Mingzhe was very surprised: "Is it a designer from another club?"

"Probably. I don't know which company made it." Tang Muzhou paused and continued, "But the human race's instant death card must have been entered into the database. There is a skill conflict, so your instant death description will be rejected by the system. This shows that your making of the instant death card has attracted widespread attention."

Xie Mingzhe suddenly realized.

Tang Shen asked him to make instant death cards, which was actually a "throwing a brick to attract jade". He first made instant death cards for the six major clubs, which attracted the attention of the entire league. Of course, all clubs would rush to study instant death cards, which would lead to a large circulation of instant death cards and enrich the tactics of the league.

This great player quietly pushed the issue behind the scenes. Xie Mingzhe didn't know why Tang Muzhou did this, but he had a hunch - this wasn't a bad thing. Once the instant-kill cards were fully circulated, future matches would see more unexpected instant-kill cards, which should be more exciting, right?

This series of instant death cards was enough to make him famous in the original world and accumulate a lot of funds. Thanks to Tang Muzhou's disclosure of the deck information and his guidance, he was able to make nine instant death cards in such a short time!

Xie Mingzhe took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "God Tang, thank you."

Tang Muzhou shook hands with him. "You're welcome. It's a pleasure to work with you."

After a few seconds of silence, Tang Muzhou asked again: "What are your plans for the future?"

Xie Mingzhe said, "I've been making so many cards every day lately, and my mental energy is severely depleted. I have a terrible headache. I'm taking this opportunity to take a few days off and think about my future. These instant death cards are enough for me to sell for a while, and it won't be a bad idea to accumulate some funds."

Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "You are right. You have worked hard to make nine cards in a row. Although this cooperation has ended, we can continue to keep in touch in the future. You took the lead in making instant death cards. In the database, there is no skill in this area, so it is easy to pass the review, so it will be relatively easy for you to make cards. But once you get rid of instant death cards and make other types of cards, you may encounter great difficulties. If you need help, come to me."

Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Okay."

What Tang Shen said made sense. Dead cards were only recently proposed and added to the database. He just happened to catch this opportunity and made a lot of money by making a batch of cards while other clubs haven't made them yet. But if he made other cards, there were already a lot of decks in the database for players and designers in so many clubs. It would not be so easy to innovate. He should slow down and think about the next development.

***

At noon the next day, managers from all the major guilds in the game gathered at the entrance of Yueban Card Store.

The moment the store opened at 11:30, countless people poured into the card store like a tide, rushing all the way to the second floor to frantically grab cards.

This scene is even more spectacular than the sales rush in big shopping malls.

Today, new cards indeed appeared in the display cabinet on the second floor.

On the left is Taishang Laojun, and on the right is Taiyi Zhenren.

Both of them are old men with gray hair, wearing different clothes, hairstyles, and looks, and holding different weapons in their hands.

But the targeted cards are all gold cards!

The presidents competed frantically to buy the cards. Those who failed to get the cards went to the display cabinet on the first floor, took photos of the card data and sent them to the players in their own clubs.

The store was packed with people, and Xie Mingzhe was smiling as he counted money at the back desk.

At the same time, among the professional league players—

Ye Zhu, who had been keeping an eye on Yueban Card Store through his secondary account, showed up on time at 11:30 and sent the two new cards he had taken photos of to the group.

Ye Zhu: "Ni Shen's spell is so accurate! Temple of the Gods, it's you, the Gold Department, who are unlucky today, hahahaha!"

Ling Jingtang was shocked: “…………”

He saw it too.

The chat group can directly send holographic images, videos, and voice messages. The two cards that Ye Zhu took in the game were presented to everyone very clearly.

Taishang Laojun, a white-haired old man, has a diamond bracelet in his hand that can store weapons. Taiyi Zhenren, also a white-haired old man, has a Nine Dragons Fire Hood that can seal the gods. The two old men stand side by side, each one looks more kind and amiable than the other, but their skills are very unfriendly!

No gold decks were spared!

Nie Yuandao was a little surprised when he saw this: "Did I really guess it right?"

——Administrator Ling Jingtang punished Nie Yuandao by silencing him.

——Administrator Nie Yuandao lifted his own ban punishment.

The contestants watching the show: “…”

What are the two great masters doing? Are they going to have a public fight?

Nie Yuandao raised his eyebrows and said, "How dare you ban me from speaking? Have you forgotten that I am also a manager?"

Ling Jingtang said helplessly: "I don't submit to anyone except your old crow mouth! Tell me the truth, did you secretly collude with Uncle Fatty, cast a curse in the group, and then secretly go to Uncle Fatty to give bad ideas to target us?"

Shan Lan quickly stepped forward to help his master clarify: "My master is not that kind of person, Ling Shen, please don't misunderstand me."

Nie Yuandao also said: "I am not familiar with Uncle Fatty. Besides, I was just stating the facts yesterday. It is true that your temple is the only one that has not been targeted."

Ling Tang was shocked and said, "I think there must be a traitor in the group, otherwise why would Uncle Fatty target each of us one by one? Does he know all of our decks very well?"

Nie Yuandao pointed the finger at Tang Muzhou: "Xiao Tang, it's you, right? After all, you are the first person to propose the concept of instant death."

Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "How could it be me? My flower card was the first to be targeted, and Uncle Fatty even took it to a public auction. Now, every major club of yours has a Lin Daiyu card. Am I the worst offender?"

Everyone: “…………”

Everyone has a picture of Lin Daiyu, the Tang God is really pitiful.

After hearing his well-reasoned words, Nie Yuandao could only frown and change his target: "Who is that?"

Zheng Feng raised his hand to clarify: "It wasn't me. My elephant was taken to be weighed by Cao Chong, and the kid hadn't finished weighing it yet."

Everyone: “…………”

Ye Zhu quickly clarified: "It wasn't me, my butterfly was killed by Xue Baochai!"

Qiao Xi also popped up: "It's not us in Liushuang City, our fish card was killed by Xishi!"

Gui Sirui said: "It's not me either, my joker card was taken away by Zhong Kui!"

Ling Jingtang was shocked: “…………”

It seems like everyone is having a bad time recently!

Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "It's time to let Professor Pei from the Department of Philosophy come out and give a speech."

Then Pei Jingshan came out and said, "Uncle Fat is only targeting one club, so it can be said that he is targeting it. But if he is targeting all clubs, then it is not targeting them. Do you agree?"

Everyone: “…”

Damn you! Every time I hear him talk I want to hit him!

In the end, Zheng Feng sealed his statement: "No matter who is behind this, Lao Nie's black mouth is confirmed."

Ling Jingtang: "Please ask the Alliance to give Lao Nie a Best Curse Award."

Gui Sirui: “I second the motion!”

Ye Zhu: "I second the proposal! Why don't we all propose it together?"

Nie Yuandao touched his mouth and felt that he was completely innocent.

Tang Muzhou thought happily - with all six major clubs complete, the large-scale circulation of instant-dead cards should be able to bring more fresh and interesting tactical ideas to the next season. Next, it is time to prepare well for the new season.

I have been busy making instant death cards for Uncle Fatty these days, and almost forgot that tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the tenth season, and all professional players from all clubs must attend.

Thinking of this, Tang Muzhou reminded everyone in the group: "I will treat everyone to a meal at the opening ceremony tomorrow."

Nie Yuandao was puzzled: "You suddenly invited me to dinner. Could it be that you are feeling guilty?"

Tang Muzhou did not feel guilty at all, and smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we last met, let's have a meal together and reminisce about the past. The Alliance will arrange a dinner, so I will treat everyone to lunch. Tomorrow at 12:00 noon, the top floor of the Imperial Hotel will be reserved, and friends who want to come can come, and please come."

After all, I have cheated so many people, it's time to treat everyone to a meal as compensation!
