Chapter 195 - At Sixteen
Chapter 195: At Sixteen
During these three days, Little Yuan’er had been copying the Supreme Purity Jade Slip. She copied it throughout the days. Her back was hurting, and her hands were spasming. Moreover, she was punished to stay in the Cave of Reflection. Fortunately, she had obediently completed her punishments. The others could not help her as well. Her senior sister, Zhao Yue, was the only one who offered some words of comfort by her side.
“Senior sister… Is master really mad at me?” Little Yuan’er asked after finishing the 100th copy of the Supreme Purity Jade Slip.
“Master’s doing this for your own good… so that you won’t make the same mistakes in the future.”
Little Yuan’er nodded and muttered, “How am I going to practice with the Nirvana Sash from now on?”
“You can still practice, but you should know how to hold back. Personally, it doesn’t bother me if Zhou Jifeng and Pan Zhong are beaten up. However, since you even attacked your senior brothers, it’s no wonder master is angry.”
“You’re right. I should be less harsh next time.”
“…”
After Little Yuan’er put the Supreme Purity Jade Slip away, Zhao Yue said, “Go on.”
He remembered that the Heavenly Writing was effective against witchcraft and the Brahman Lullaby. Lu Zhou guessed that the Heavenly Writing’s power was most probably related to his mental state.
Lu Zhou glanced at the system dashboard. Everything was normal.
“Hm?”
Lu Zhou saw a short reminder on the item card’s column. The prices of item cards would be adjusted according to the user’s cultivation base and purchasing frequency. He looked at the prices… As he expected, they have risen again.
The Deadly Strike Card was sold at 800 points, the Impeccable Card was sold at 600 points, even the Thunderblast Card was sold at 400 points.
10,000 llamas stampeded across Lu Zhou’s heart.
‘This is such bullsh*t.’
It was clear now the prices of the item cards were not merely related to the frequency of purchase but to his strength as well. He had thought it was only related to the frequency of his purchase. It was clearly his wishful thinking.
The combination of these two conditions would prevent the host from being over-reliant on item cards. It would also serve as a motivator for the host to improve his strength as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, it provided the host with a means of self-defense when he was still weak.
‘The system won’t even let me exploit any loophole…’
Lu Zhou instinctively glanced at the Reversal Card’s price… He read the display, “500 points.”
‘Fortunately, it hasn’t gone up.’ He was going to rely on it to stay alive. If its price increased, he would be hard-pressed to keep going.
His current endeavor of comprehending Heavenly Writing had resulted in a great loss on his side.
Fall into the moat and you would be wiser.
Lu Zhou thought about it. He decided to buy some item cards every time before he comprehended the Heavenly Writing.
At this moment, Mingshi Yin’s voice rang from outside. “Master, the flying chariot’s ready.”
“Alright.”
Lu Zhou waved his arm. The system dashboard disappeared.
He walked out of the hidden chamber into the great hall.
“Greetings, master.”
“Greetings, Pavilion Master.”
Lu Zhou looked at everyone and said bluntly, “We’re going to keep a low-profile this time when we go to Anyang. There’s no need for the flying chariot.”
Mingshi Yin was slightly stunned. He said, “Master… our numbers…”
“That’s why we shouldn’t be traveling in such a large group.” Lu Zhou had a feeling they would attract too much attention if too many of them went. After all, Jiang Aijian was only willing to discuss this in person.
