Divine Card Creator

In Qing Ming City.

In the shop.

Lu Ming had just arrived home.

“Master!”

Xiaobai waved her hands happily. “It’s time to eat.”

“Okay.”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

Heh.

Each time he returned home after a trip, someone was waiting for him along with hot and piping dishes.

This was such a wonderful feeling.

“Did anyone stir up trouble?”

Lu Ming touched Xiaobai’s head.

“Nope.”

Xiaobai pondered for a moment. “Asides a scam call, there was nothing else.”

“Eh?”

Lu Ming was shocked. “You can already recognize a scam call?”

“Yes.”

Xiaobai lifted her tiny chest and said proudly, “When I was in school, I even took on the role of anti-scam ambassador!”

“Not bad.”

Lu Ming felt grateful.

Old Jiang was right. Xiaobai’s survival skills were extremely strong…

Well…

He sat down with Xiaobai for the meal.

Moments later.

Two figures suddenly rushed in.

Shocked, Lu Ming almost attacked them on the spot. Before he came to his senses, he heard a deafening sound and that figure was already kneeling before him. “Master!”

“Li Haoran?”

Lu Ming was stunned. Why did he come here?

“Master! My card spirit is born!” Li Haoran said emotionally.

“Huh?”

Lu Ming looked dumbstruck. T-the card spirit was born?!

Wait a minute.

Why was it that he could also give birth to a card spirit?!

“It’s real!” Li Haoran said emotionally.

Shush!

He took out his Original Card.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The Original Card began to dance in the air inside the shop.

Faint green lights flashed!

It really had a consciousness…

Lu Ming was taken aback.

Damn!

There was really a card spirit?!

“How did your card spirit come about?”

surprised and curious, Lu Ming asked.

“As long as one is sincere, it will definitely happen.”

Li Haoran wore an earnest expression. “I listened to master’s teachings and also referred to the experience of senior sister and second senior brother. I recite at it every day with a sincere attitude. The card spirit is finally born.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Damn the ‘As long as one is sincere, it will definitely happen’!

I was fooling you, okay?

But this card spirit…

Lu Ming was also having doubts. Would a sincere heart really cause a card spirit to be born?

To hell with it!

His head was hurting. It was really…

Could it be that…

One could really do as one wished as long as one had great talent?

Something was not right!

Xiaoyan was much more talented than Li Haoran. However, he had only gotten card spirit after ‘his sister came back’. This timing was very intriguing.

It was obvious where his card spirit came from.

What about Li Haoran?

“Don’t tell me that you have a long-lost older sister too?” Lu Ming asked in a low voice.

“No.”

Li Haoran was puzzled.

How could he have any older sisters?!

“Hmm.”

Lu Ming pondered deeply. If it was not his elder sister, it was strange…

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Green lights were flashing on Li Haoran’s Original Card.

That familiar style suddenly alarmed Lu Ming. Wait a minute… The Original Card did not seem to be flying because it was controlled by thoughts. It seemed more like a thing wanting to get out…

Oh, right. This also happened when that mysterious spirit body was trapped inside his Original Card!

Eh?

Lu Ming suddenly recovered from his senses.

Therefore…

This spirit body was also born in the wilderness!

“Come over here!”

He forcefully restrained the Original Card.

Well…

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Green lights flashed.

A familiar aura emerged.

This was…

Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.

His Original Card trembled and lunged towards it instantly.

“Get lost!”

Lu Ming slapped it away.

How embarrassing!

Wasn’t this just a sinister aura?!

Do you need to lunge towards it?

He could not tell from the past. But now, the two of you are Original Cards and yet you’re getting together like that with such a posture. Don’t you feel ashamed?!

The Original Card was silent.

However…

After the commotion, Lu Ming was certain that this was really sinister aura and the spirit body inside…

The python!

That damn six-star python!

Damn!

That python was actually inside!

Lu Ming and the Original Card glanced at and faced each other.

Obviously…

Never did they think that the boastful six-star python would eventually appear in Li Haoran’s Original Card. Furthermore, it was now trapped inside…

“This is a huge scam!”

Lu Ming’s Original Card said with furor and resentment.

“The Original Card… is something that is extraordinarily strong!

It is very stable even without any tempering. An Original Card that has gone through tempering is comparable to a Sword Embryo or even much more stable than a Sword Embryo…

Once a spirit body enters and appears in it, the Original Card will become more stable and powerful. The spirit body will no longer have a chance to get out!

Therefore… Everything that goes in will die…”

The thoughts in Lu Ming’s Original Card was transmitted.

It was because he had entered the card like that in the past…

However, it suddenly felt much better now at the thought of this python. Haha, it was not the only spirit body that had been conned.

“Master.”

Li Haoran felt somewhat ashamed. “I don’t know how to control it yet.”

He had read the self-cultivation of the card spirit but could not comprehend it. Something seemed to be lacking. In particular, the Original Card was simply disobedient!

It kept dashing everywhere!

How could it be willing to cultivate?!

“Oh, it’s no problem.”

Lu Ming came to his senses and instructed his Original Card, “Go and teach him.”

Swoosh!

The Original Card suddenly disappeared.

It led Li Haoran’s Original Card into a corner and appeared there.

…

At this very moment…

Xiao-Xiaobai, that had been cultivating at the corner of the shop, was stupefied to discover that another Original Card had appeared. Furthermore, this one looked even worse. It had tattoos all over its body!!!

Whoosh!

It hid behind Xiaobai immediately. Sob… It was too scary…

Xiaobai was silent.

Lu Ming was speechless.

What else could he do?

After a long while…

Li Haoran’s Original Card came back and the Original Card that had been dashing in all directions was oddly quiet now. It was just that its flying posture was not very natural and it looked like it was drifting feebly.

“Thank you, master.”

Li Haoran was grateful.

He saw his master’s Original Card lying on the ground, obviously suffering from over-exhaustion. Instantly, he was filled with gratitude. In order to help him, his master had used too much energy.

“It’s okay.”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

He glanced at the Original Card which had obviously exploited the sinister aura of the python once again. It was lying on the ground satisfactorily and did not feel like moving. He did not know what to say…

“When spirit bodies are born, their characters differ and they require serious teaching and guidance.”

Lu Ming advised.

“Understood.”

Li Haoran bowed respectfully.

Upon returning to the hotel.

He thought of today’s experience and immediately revised the section on card spirit in the Sword Card Master guidelines. He added Lu Ming’s words before he posted it on the web satisfactorily.

Well…

Besides this…

He even started a new thread called “Li Haoran’s Daily Cultivation Notes”.

Here.

He noted down his cultivation experience every day.

It was about how he encountered problems and resolved them and also the guidance provided by his master.

He believed that, as a pioneer, he had to set a stellar example. That was the only way that people could understand the Sword Card Master vocation better!

After finished summarizing what happened today…

He then stopped and was prepared to cultivate.

However…

When he turned back…

He was shocked to discover that, at the corner of the room, a teenager in black was squatting and talking to his own vocation core seriously, “Dagger, dagger, you have already grown up. You must learn to cultivate by yourself…”

Li Haoran had a dumbstruck expression.

Was this a joke?!

Do you think you are Sword Card Masters like us?

…

In Qing Ming City.

Somewhere.

A five-star cultivator’s body was festering all over and he revealed a pained expression.

He was a spirit body hunter. In the process of catching the python, he was almost killed in that building and had survived after much difficulty.

It was just that…

His injuries were too severe and he did not know how long he would take to recover from them.

His gaze swept across the passers-by as he waited at this part of the street. After waiting for a long time, he finally found a young man who was a three-star peak cleric!

“You, come here!”

He called out to that cleric. “Heal me!”

“I-I can’t,” that cleric said, feeling ashamed.

“Cut your nonsense!”

He grabbed the collar of the cleric’s shirt with one hand and dragged him into a deserted alley. He said viciously and fiercely, “Healing ability. Do you know that?! Cut the crap! I just want you to heal my external injuries.”

His gaze was ferocious. “I’ll give you one minute. If you don’t make a move, I’ll kill you!”

“I… I’ll give it a try.”

The cleric was helpless.

Hence…

He gingerly took out a small book from his pocket and flipped it open. Inside it were steps to activate the healing abilities of a cleric…

Learning on the spot?

The ugliness of the five-star cultivator’s expression suddenly intensified.

Crash!

He immediately pulled the cleric up, hung him on the wall and pressed his neck with one hand, dangling him. “Damn it. How dare you toy with me?”

“I-I really didn’t.”

The cleric smiled bitterly. “I have not fully picked this up…”

“Humph!”

That five-star cultivator put him down gradually. “Use the best healing ability of a cleric. I remember a cultivator has something called Rain Dew, right? Use that!”

“Sure,” the cleric replied weakly.

Hence…

He gingerly cast Rain Dew. “May the lord bless you a full recovery…”

Buzz—

Faint lights surrounded the five-star cultivator.

Healing lights appeared in faint green hues and surged into the body of the five-star cultivator, engulfing his wounded organs and then slowly diffusing into them…

At that instant.

All those organs actually deteriorated…

Ghastly pale, the five-star cultivator opened his eyes wide.

He fell to the floor loudly.

“…”

The cleric raised both his hands. “Look, I told you that this won’t work.”

After a long while…

He sighed and disappeared into the streets.

…

“News report…

There is an update on the appearance of a spirit body in Qing Ming City again. According to familiar sources, a six-star python escaped with a building and was caught in the suburbs…

Another mysterious spirit body appeared and disappeared in the city mystically again…

Why are there so many spirit bodies appearing in Qing Ming City?

These are things worth pondering about.

A five-star cultivator was found dead on a certain street. All his organs have deteriorated. This seems like death from a vendetta. The initial suspicion is that he was attacked by a five-star and above Enchanter…

There are many cultivators recently. Everyone, please be more careful!”

…

At this very moment…

In the shop.

Naturally, Lu Ming had seen the news.

“Xiaobai.”

Don’t go to the market these next two days.

Spend some money and get them to deliver to the doorstep,” Lu Ming told her.

“Okay.”

Xiaobai was very obedient.

She would not add to her master’s woes at such times.

“Good.”

Lu Ming touched Xiaobai’s head.

Qing Ming City…

It was not peaceful.

Lu Ming sighed.

Forget it about the appearance of the spirit body. There was actually a vendetta!

The troubled waters in Qing Ming City were really getting deeper and deeper…

Furthermore, due to the constant appearance of spirit bodies, some people were unwilling to leave. Those four-star and five-star were all staying here…

Also…

He very much wanted to know if Zhou Yang had come?

Hehe.

The four-star in the past should have become a five-star now?

He had dashed here fearlessly for a four-star koi previously. This was a five-star or six-star spirit body but why didn’t he see him?!

This was strange.

Lu Ming squinted his eyes.

He had remembered this long-time ‘friend’.

Should he ask Gao Tianlang about it?

Oh.

Forget it.

Lu Ming gave up on this thought. He did not know why but each time he chatted with Gao Tianlang, he felt very odd. It was as if Gao Tianlang was going to devour someone…

This damn sister complex!

How is Gao Xiaoqing going to get married if you do this?!

Ring—

The phone in the shop suddenly rang.

“Hello.”

Xiaobai picked up the call. Pausing seriously for a moment, she wrinkled her adorable little nose and said, “Humph, you people are really bad to think of scamming people every day!”

Bam!

She hung up the phone.

“Master. It’s that scam call!”

Xiaobai was furious. “These bad guys, even their script is the same… Every day, they tell you that your friend has been arrested and ask you to go and save him!”

“Isn’t that so?”

Lu Ming felt amused.

Weren’t the scammers’ tactics identical?

However…

Come to think of it…

Why did this sentence sound that familiar?!

Eh?

Wait a minute.

Lu Ming was suddenly startled awake. Don’t tell me that…

Buzz—

His wristband communication device vibrated.

Lu Ming conveniently picked up the call and a familiar voice of a ‘baritone’ could be heard, “Hello, are you Comrade Lu Ming?”

Lu Ming was silent.

“Very sorry. I didn’t manage to contact you through your phone and thus called the shop. I think a young lady picked up the call… Er… Most likely, she took it for a scam call.”

The other party felt very helpless too.

“It’s okay, speak.”

Lu Ming sighed.

“It’s like this… Your friend Zhang Xueyao is with us. I hope that you can spare some time to make a trip here…” the ‘baritone’ said in a calm and deep voice.

True enough…

Lu Ming glanced at the sky.

He knew it.

How could there be that many scam calls…

“What happened again this time?”

Lu Ming sighed.

“Extortion and blackmail.” The voice on the other side of the phone sounded helpless.

“He extorted a four-star?”

Lu Ming was shocked.

“Not this time.”

The other party paused for a moment. “He extorted a five-star cultivator this time.”

Lu Ming was awestruck.

He was amazing!

Student Zhang Xiaopang’s sales ability had improved again!

“May I know when you have the time?” the ‘baritone’ asked.

“I don’t have time,” Lu Ming declined firmly.

Five-star!

He really could not beat him!

It was too dangerous to steal a vocation core… Furthermore, it only worked on Energy Warrior. If it was Swordsman, he reckoned that he would get himself killed at any point in time!

He really could not afford to provoke them.

“Uh.”

The ‘baritone’ looked dumbstruck.

Obliviously, he had not expected that the two buddies who shared woes the last time had become faux amis…

“He says that you’re his buddy.”

The male ‘baritone’ was helpless.

“On the surface, we’re buddies.”

Lu Ming laughed.

This chap had to be taught a lesson!

Seriously…

It was four-star the last time and five-star now. Would he dare to offend a six-star next time?

Wasn’t he too daring!

Even if he had Xin-er, she most likely could not endure such torture?

The male ‘baritone’ was silent.

He had guessed Lu Ming’s thoughts about teaching Zhang Xiaopang a lesson but how should he put it?

“Well…”

Actually, we strongly recommend that you make a trip here. The case this time is quite unique…”

The male ‘baritone’ smiled bitterly.

“Oh?”

Lu Ming was surprised.

“Well…”

The male ‘baritone’ paused for a moment. Actually, he should not divulge too many details but Lu Ming would not come if he did not do so. He had no choice but to continue to speak.

“Because the victim of extortion this time… is still the same person as the last time.”

What?

The same person?

Lu Ming’s heart trembled and his eyes shone brightly. Zhou Yang?!

Haha!

It was no wonder he did not see this chap!

It turned out that he had fallen into Zhang Xiaopang’s trap?

Tsk tsk.

This guy was good. He clung to someone. He did not know where he learned that from?!

“I’ll come over immediately!”

Lu Ming’s expression was solemn. “How can I not help when something happened to my buddy?”

“…”

The male ‘baritone’ was speechless.

Bang.

He hung up the phone.

Lu Ming rushed over immediately.

“Xiaobai. Be careful at home,” Lu Ming told her.

“Master, where are you going?”

Xiaobai asked curiously.

“To earn money.”

Lu Ming was in high spirits.

Haha.

He had earned one million yuan from Zhang Xiaopang the last time. This time… Hehe…
