In Qing Ming City.

Somewhere.

Countless screens flickered.

Several hundreds of computers were operating madly. The staff was deducing information methodically and Scouts were constantly condensing energy.

Nowadays…

Scouts who purely deduced conclusions were no longer popular.

They had to combine technology with cultivation to be able to unleash the greatest potential of the vocation.

It was just that…

At this moment…

A Scout looked at the screen.

On the screen.

A structural chart made up of blue dots was suspended in the air. There were several coordinates on it and different pictures were marked on the coordinates, like goldfish, python…

A virtual figure was also marked in one of the locations.

“Here is where spirit bodies are born.

Identity: Unknown

Whereabouts: Unknown.”

…

What was a mysterious spirit body?

He had no idea.

There should be a spirit body there, but it did not appear…

Or perhaps…

It had appeared but no one saw it.

“Is there any news about this spirit body?”

“No.”

“Can’t it be deduced?”

“No.”

“This is strange.”

The Scout focused his gaze.

Had the mysterious spirit body appeared or not?!

He had no idea.

In their plan, this was the only living creature that should have appeared but did not. It was a recent problem…

Shush!

He rotated the screens.

In a certain place, there was a total of three spirit bodies, a bar spirit, a sword, and a python.

The bar spirit, sword spirit…

Both of them were expected to occur.

Of course.

These two met Lu Ming by chance and were killed. This did not affect their plans. Their appearance was good enough to support their plan. However, the snake…

It should not be here!

Dee—

Dee—

Red lights flashed.

The success rate had dropped to 20%!

In a sense, the original plan was no longer reliable.

After all…

The spirit body that should have appeared had disappeared.

A non-existent spirit body had appeared.

The plan was a mess!

The spirit bodies were not the main point. It was the significance behind them…

“Re-deduction! We don’t have much time left…”

“Yes.”

Buzz—

Buzz—

Many streaks of lights flickered in the room.

…

At this very moment…

Qing Ming City, in the shop.

Lu Ming was still studying the properties of the Original Card.

“It is such a pity.”

Lu Ming felt very regretful.

He was there when Zhou Yang made his moves. He knew that the Phantom Legacy was very powerful. Although he could not learn it if the card spirit could turn to be feminine…

Wouldn’t it be very powerful?

Think about it.

When one fought an enemy and the card spirit appeared to wrap around the enemy…

Even if it could not strangle the enemy, it was good enough to pin them down.

Furthermore…

It was far better to bring a cute female spirit body than a gruff male spirit body around.

It was a pity…

Lu Ming was very disappointed to know that the pink energy did not come with any properties! Even if it did not have any effects, at the very least the Original Card must become feminine!

It was useless.

The Original Card was silent.

It felt that…

It was better to remain silent now.

However…

Lu Ming took a look at it and sighed deeply. The Phantom Legacy was very versatile and the pink energy was very powerful. Why didn’t it absorb more energy?

“What’s the use of having you?!”

The Original Card broke down emotionally.

Who was the one afraid of being infected back then?

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The Original Card glowed rampantly.

However…

The scene seemed odd.

Due to the dyeing effects, there seemed to be multiple colors when the lights flashed on its body… from afar, it seemed like the cell phone with horse race lamp from ten years ago that was made in China.

Lu Ming felt uncomfortable at the sight of it.

With these colors, the Original Card seemed to become cheap…

Think about it.

It seemed like a non-mainstream cell phone made in China that had various colors. The top, middle, and bottom parts had different colors. If he played background music like the ‘Who is watching? Above the moon’ song…

Sigh.

Lu Ming threw the Original Card in the distance, with hatred.

The Original Card looked dumbstruck.

Damn!

He was the one who dyed him. How dare he despise it?!

Right then…

It suddenly had the urge to kill its master.

Calm down!

Calm down!

The bright future was waiting for it!

The future would be good!

It had bright prospects!

Teamwork, Friendliness, Seriousness, Liveliness…

…

Lu Ming was still studying the cards.

It was of great significance that the Original Card would have a new property after being dyed.

Li Haoran could not see the full implications as his perspective was limited. However, he had many ideas to be further explored. For example… the stability of the Original Card!

After dyeing it, the Original Card had many different properties.

Well…

Would its stability and the card itself be affected? The properties of the middle part and bottom part of the Original Card were different, would they be affected? Could the property of the dye be removed?

Wait a minute.

There was too much to be tested.

Therefore, Lu Ming purchased a large amount of beasts’ blood and began his testing.

He stayed at home for two days.

1. “Why does the blood have an effect on the Original Card?”

This was because there was a special energy in the blood!

Different beasts contained different energies. As long as he looked for blood that contained special effects, it would be effective on the Original Card!

And…

He could use the tempering of the Sword Embryo as a reference!

In essence, the Sword Embryo was tempered in a similar manner.

It was just that when the Sword Embryo was tempered, it underwent unified absorption and tempering. It would absorb all the energy and effects!

This was done in an overbearing manner!

Yes.

No one could think of retaining their abilities when faced with the Sword Embryo.

It was ridiculous!

Therefore…

Tempering the Sword Embryo was the purest form of tempering!

Other than that, the dagger, spear, and other weapon cores that required tempering… almost all of them had their own characteristics!

In these cases, any tempering would become pure.

However, the situation with the Original Card was slightly different. It did not belong to any of them. The body of the Original Card was like a piece of blank paper. One could write anything on it!

This was the result of Lu Ming’s research.

The Original Card… Could be considered a weapon without any characteristics!

It had more freedom!

It was more diversified!

2. “Can he cancel the property?”

Yes!

The property was added through the use of the catalyst. According to Lu Ming’s testing, through the use of a catalyst that had a reverse effect, it could bleach the card, removing the color.

No.

To be more precise, he could remove the property.

Except… For the pink color.

Lu Ming felt very helpless too.

Xiaoqing’s blood could be added and removed. However, he could not get rid of the strange pink color. It seemed like dogskin plaster 1. a plaster for rheumatism, strains, contusions, formerly spread on dogskin, but now usually on cloth that could never be removed.

3. “Could more colors be added?”

Impossible!

After testing, Lu Ming realized that at least one-third of the cards had to be dyed in order to have a full property. That was to say, the upper limit was three properties!

It was such a pity.

Due to the pink color that could not be removed, he could only add two properties.

However…

It was enough.

Through the testing of various types of blood, he had added various properties to the Original Card and he had fun playing with it.

In that case…

It was equivalent to adding two gaming buffs to the Original Card…

After soaking it in the wolverine’s blood, it was harder…

After soaking it in the powerful sheep’s blood, it could last longer…

Oh.

In that case…

The Original Card should be able to fly higher and longer?

In the end…

Lu Ming still had high expectations about ‘Card Kinesis Flight’. It was a pity that he and Xiaobai were only seen as floating.

4. “Are the three colors stable?”

This was something that Lu Ming was worried about.

After the Original Card was dyed and it had three colors and properties, would there be any conflicts? Would the Original Card crash or would something strange happen?

After testing, it was confirmed to be very stable!

Yes.

Although one part was very hard and the other part was very soft, the Original Card was still as stable!

It seemed that…

After going through numerous temperings, the structure was very stable.

In that case…

He had completed the testing.

What was left was the combination of different types of blood and the study of them.

…

“Haha.

The Sword Card Master profession will soar to heights soon!”

Lu Ming was excited.

No one else could stop them!

Swordsmen?!

They merely rely on a sharp sword.

So what if the Sword Embryo was very sharp?

Hehe.

We could add a razor-sharp property to the Original Card. If one was not enough, we could add two or three! We will win by numbers. Let’s see whose weapon is sharper!

Assassins?

They merely rely on a hiding ability.

So what if their dagger can conceal their aura?

Hehe.

We could add a concealing property to the Original Card!

Skin effects!

And we can charge a fee…

In that case…

The Sword Card Master has no opponents!

Who else is there?

Lu Ming’s heart was stirring.

Afterward…

He put the Original Card into his Sea of Consciousness out of habit.

Shush!

The Original Card had returned to its original place.

In the air…

There was some strange energy, red, blue…

Wait a minute.

Why were the colors so familiar?!

Lu Ming came to his senses and looked to his Sea of Consciousness. The Original Card had returned to its blank state. There was no energy on it…

Except for a pinch of pink.

Oh.

Crap!

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

It turned out that… apart from the pink energy, energy could not be kept in the Sea of Consciousness!!!

Was this a joke?!

What was he so excited about just now?

Just at this moment…

Lu Ming understood…

How could purchasing special skin effects be that easy? No, he meant it was not easy to add special effects to the vocation core. It turned out that everything he thought was false…

It was seemingly effective, however, it could not retain the energy in the Sea of Consciousness!

Once it crossed the line between reality and illusion…

Bam!

Everything was gone.

Except for the ugly pink bangs.

“I have been thinking too much.”

Lu Ming smiled bitterly.

Pink…

Sigh.

Why was it retained?

Because this was left by the terrifying energy of the Phantom Legacy. It was different from the pretty but cheap effects that he added through the catalyst. It was a real color…

Illusion and reality…

Lu Ming had a sudden idea. Wasn’t this Brother Cat’s specialty?

Wait a minute.

If he mastered this…

“Brother Cat, Brother Cat!”

Lu Ming went into the Sea of Consciousness, looking excited. “Can you teach me how to switch between reality and illusion?”

The black cat looked at him calmly.

Its eyes were gentle and soft.

“Brother Cat, I am serious.”

Lu Ming sighed. “I’m studying the added properties of the Original Card. However, these properties cannot enter my consciousness. Therefore, I want to learn the surreal reality abilities from you.”

The black cat continued to look calmly at him.

That look in his eyes…

Oh.

The Original Card had the same expression…

“Innate talent?”

Lu Ming came to his senses.

The black cat’s expression turned peaceful.

“Alright.”

Lu Ming sighed.

Well…

Such an ability that was in defiance of the natural order must be an innate talent… But then again, he wondered what breed Brother Cat was to be able to have this special ability!

Oo…

It did not seem like the kind that he had seen…

Could it be a crossbreed?

Oo…

He would search for it online later…

Crash!

A black shadow flashed.

Bang!

There was a deafening sound.

Lu Ming was plastered onto the wall.

“Hahahaha!”

The Original Card was laughing like crazy.

To think that he would have such a day!

It finally knew that Lu Ming was nothing!

The black cat was the big boss!

He deserved it!

How dare he talk about Brother Cat in the Sea of Consciousness!

Hehe…

The Original Card was elated.

He knew that Lu Ming must have badmouthed the black cat. Haha, served him right for doing himself in. Look, it would not dare to shoot its mouth off!

But then again, the black cat was so fierce, it wondered what breed it was…

Crash!

A black shadow flashed.

Bang!

There was a deafening sound.

The Original Card was plastered onto the wall.

The Original Card looked dumbstruck.

I…

I didn’t say anything!

No!

I didn’t think about anything!

It merely wondered what breed the black cat was to be so fierce and powerful. It didn’t say anything. Why was it sent flying…

Swoosh!

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

“What did you say?”

The Original Card cast Lu Ming an unfriendly glance.

Lu Ming spread his hands with an innocent expression. “I was only wondering what breed the black cat is.”

“Huh?”

The Original Card was stunned.

It was such a coincidence. It was thinking about the same thing.

This was strange.

This was pure curiosity. Why would the black cat be so sensitive about its breed?

Could it be that…

It belonged to the unspoken race?!

Crash!

A black shadow flashed.

The Original Card was plastered onto the wall of the shop.

The Original Card was silent.

Tsk tsk.

Lu Ming was amazed.

The little fellow was daring to talk about Brother Cat in its mind. Did it forget that Brother Cat knew what was on its mind?

The Original Card was silent.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The Original Card glowed. It refused to speak more.

It was to the extent that…

It had to stop all thoughts. It was worried that its thoughts would wander to the related topic and it would be sent flying. Although it would not die from it, it was very painful…

…

Seeing that the Original Card was being chill about it, Lu Ming returned to his study of the cards.

Since he could not keep the card in his consciousness, he decided not to!

That was what Lu Ming had in mind.

He had to put aside the normal Original Card as it would be dangerous to leave it outside and this would deplete a lot of resources. Leaving it outside would consume energy and mental strength. But his Original Card…

There was no need for that!

With the card spirit, it would not be a problem for it to do grocery shopping!

He did not need to worry about energy consumption!

Since that was the case, he should keep them in reality so as to not affect the properties of the Original Card.

Although…

It would return to normal once it went back to the Sea of Consciousness.

It was feasible.

Hence…

Lu Ming dyed the Original Card into three different colors, pink (unknown) blue (long-lasting) yellow (strength), and he began experimenting it again.
