Chapter 769: Episode 497: Laojun and the Linglong Pagoda's Advancement Material Card! (Seeking Monthly Pass)
After a moment's consideration, Mu Qianshan eventually decided not to use the elixir.
It was only the third round right now, with over ten thousand battles to come. Not many would have noticed this particular fight.
Besides, he wasn't without the ability to defeat his opponent; there was no need to use an elixir at this point.
To extend the renown of his elixirs, it would be best to wait until the finals to do so.
Having made his decision, Mu Qianshan no longer withheld his power; the second layer of the Pure Yang Sword Technique was unleashed.
The red Pure Yang Sword Energy, with a hint of gold, suddenly increased in damage, making it somewhat overwhelming for the guy from the Giant Troll Clan.
After blocking a strike of Sword Qi, Akare's face suddenly changed.
This increase in damage?
Was it the result of some special card?
He hadn't seen the opponent use any cards though!
"Damn Human Clan! Using cards in such a sneaky way!"
"What's sneaky?"
Mu Qianshan was puzzled, but his movements didn't slow down as he deflected the Wolf Fang Club and his crimson Sword Energy with a touch of gold luster struck the Red Quality Defense Equipment worn by the Giant Troll.
Mu Qianshan felt a bit envious, then with two more waves of Sword Qi, he shattered Akare's Red Quality Defense Equipment.
That was the downside of heavy weapons like the Wolf Fang Club.
Once deflected, there was simply no time to parry in return.
Shocked and furious, Akare raised his Wolf Fang Club to smash down upon Mu Qianshan.
But before the club could fall, Mu Qianshan had already slain him with a stroke of his sword.
"Mu Qianshan's strength has improved quite a bit."
Seeing Mu Qianshan quickly secure another victory, Li Yueying couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.
"His swordsmanship seems a bit unfamiliar."
Facing Li Yueying's surprise, Jiang Yuan just smiled and said nothing.
Li Yueying didn't ask further; after all, Mu Qianshan was a merchant, and merchants often had the most treasures at their disposal.
Looking at Jiang Yuan beside her, then at Mu Qianshan who had suddenly appeared in front of her, Li Yueying felt a bit sentimental.
One's sideline was a Card Maker, and the other's a merchant; such was the importance of having a side profession.
Looking at the two of them lacking for nothing, it seemed so nice.
She remembered her own struggle for a single Material Card at their age.
But then again, a Card Maker like Jiang Yuan, one might not appear even in a few hundred years.
The cards he produced were not only of high quality, but also affordable and practical, thus, naturally, he had a large volume of sales.
Especially when selling to the military, that was a stable and significant sales channel.
Sometimes, being envious was unavoidable.
"An A-grade Red Quality Equipment Card, and I only have this one," Mu Qianshan remarked upon his return, pursing his lips as he looked at Jiang Yuan.
"Why would the world's will deem an A-grade Red Quality Equipment Card to be of the same level as my Moonlight Scepter?!"
"The assessment is probably of a similar situation," he suggested.
After Mu Qianshan finished speaking, Li Yueying laughed, "It must be a comparable situation. For two cards that are not very different in terms of effectiveness, you can't expect the world's will to compensate you with a White Quality Card."
"A White Quality Card is still money," Mu Qianshan mumbled unhappily, though he agreed with Li Yueying's logic, especially as he had been selling a significant number of White Quality Linglong Tower Cards these days.
"Don't act like you found a bargain and still play the innocent."
Li Yueying was both amused and annoyed, "You should feel lucky to have an S-grade Red Quality Equipment Card now, which is basically the most valuable card next to a Cultivation Technique Card."
"If you can break through to the mid-stage of the Chunshou, you'd have something to secretly rejoice about."
"A Red Quality Cultivation Technique Card?"
Mu Qianshan's eyes suddenly lit up, then he turned to look at Jiang Yuan.
"Just be content; the Moonlight Scepter is already quite impressive!"
Since Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan were quite familiar with each other, Jiang Yuan immediately understood what Mu Qianshan meant with just one look.
"That card is unique to us two; if you lose it, I won't make another for you."
"What card?"
Hearing Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan talk this way, Li Yueying became curious.
"It was two Cultivation Technique Cards I made by chance, but now they can't be produced anymore."
Jiang Yuan, faced with Li Yueying's inquiry, could not conceal the truth and gave a perfunctory explanation.
Li Yueying nodded after taking note of this and continued to watch Mu Qianshan.
"Do you have any Golden Quality Cards?"
Seeing the smiling gaze of Li Yueying, Mu Qianshan also smiled helplessly, "Sister, my business hasn't reached that level yet."
"Whack!"
No sooner had Mu Qianshan finished talking than Jiang Yuan's hand slapped down on Mu Qianshan's shoulder.
"You've got the generations mixed up, you know."
"So I should call you Auntie?"
Mu Qianshan made a joke, but the next second, an ice-blue, translucent Longsword was resting on Mu Qianshan's neck.
"What Auntie?"
The gentle voice caused cold sweat to break out on Mu Qianshan instantly.
On one side was Jiang Yuan, and on the other was Li Yueying.
This...
"Alright, alright, we'll stop teasing you."
Seeing Mu Qianshan at a loss for words, looking almost tearful, Li Yueying laughed and put away her Longsword.
"Teacher, do you also use a sword?"
"Yes, I'm a woman of slight build; I can't handle weaponry like spears or halberds."
Li Yueying smiled, returned to her seat on the sofa, and struck up a conversation with Jiang Yuan.
"It's a Golden Quality Equipment Card?"
"Yes, in fact, it's the first card I've ever upgraded to Golden Quality."
Li Yueying's lips curved slightly, "Don't think that because I'm a Card Maker that I don't have a killer instinct."
