Chapter 29: Xiaocang Mountain

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the blink of an eye, the screen was filled with purple.

Even though Su Mo knew that getting gold was just an extravagant hope, but the time the hope had been allowed to live was too short.

At the very least, the interface should’ve left him some room for some beautiful fantasies.

He stared at the purple light wearily and saw the card drawing content on the interface.

[cultivation EXP book] x4

[skill EXP book] x4

[Skill: Blood Coagulation Sword] x2

Great, the skill he got was the blood coagulation sword again. Was the interface afraid that he had too many lives to spare?

Su Mo was just speechless.

Then, he clicked on the last two ten consecutive draws in succession, and it did give him some treasures.

[Sword Energy Shield]: Form a shield by releasing sword energy. When the enemy’s attack landed on the shield, it would be greatly weakened by the sword energy.

[Wind-chasing Arrow]: The arrow shot out will be buffed by the wind’s speed and will become three times faster than a normal arrow.

These two skills were quite useful. One could be used for defense, while the other was a long-range attack skill.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have a suitable bow now, so he couldn’t use the power of the wind-chasing arrow just yet.

If he found a suitable one in the exchange area, he might as well buy it then.

After finishing drawing two hundred and thirty draws, he only had 72 lifespan points left.

He didn’t intend to draw the last two, preparing to gather enough to perform the next ten consecutive draws.

With how unlucky he currently was, it was almost impossible for him to get gold.

It would be better to wait till he could draw ten consecutive draws and get a purple skill. After all, the purple light looked more dazzling, right?

Under normal circumstances, after drawing the cards, it was time to add the EXP books to the professions and skills.

However, considering that he had yet to take up the two special professions of priest and marksman, Su Mo decided to do so first and obtain the abilities that this would give him.

He turned and walked to an empty public toilet.

“This is probably the harshest environment where one will ever take up a new profession.”

Along with the powerful water pillar, two rays of light flashed on Su Mo’s body.

With that, not only did he successfully take up two new professions, but he also gained two new skills.

[Super Endurance]: A passive skill that allows the user to possess endurance that far surpasses ordinary people.

[Night Vision]: Able to see everything around you even in the dark.

There was no doubt that these were two excellent skills.

Super endurance didn’t need to be explained. Not only could it be widely used in battle, but in the most primitive “battlefields” between men and women, it could also play a role that could not be underestimated.

In fact, Su Mo suspected that many of the priests would practice the paradigms of this skill with intention. If it was a female priest… That would be too terrifying.

As for night vision, it was the ability awakened by the special profession of marksman.

However, it could also play a supporting role for other professions, such as the sword saint.

In a dark environment, a sword saint with this skill like him would definitely have an advantage over other sword saints. Even if his opponent wanted to use the darkness to deceive him, the other party would simply be asking for trouble.

Now that all the skills had been confirmed, the next step was to officially use the EXP books.

Su Mo’s gaze focused, and he started to look at all the resources he had obtained from the card draws.

[cultivation EXP book] x73

[skill EXP book] x130

[Skill: Storm Sword] x5

[Skill: Blood Coagulation Sword] x3

[Skill: Finger Sword] x3

[Skill: Sword Energy Slash] x3

[Skill: Eye of Truth] x2

[Skill: Wise Heart] x2

[Skill: Snake Staff] x2

[Skill: Poison Immunity]

[Skill: Sword Energy Shield]

[Skill: Wind-chasing Arrow]

[Skill: Super Endurance]

[Skill: Night Vision]

[Profession: Priest]

[Profession: Marksman]

Su Mo looked at the long list and felt his scalp go numb.

What would it be like if he performed a thousand draws?

He didn’t even dare to think about it.

Su Mo immediately focused his attention on what was in front of him.

There was nothing more to be said about the professions. All 73 cultivation EXP books were added to the sword saint profession. After all, his main battle profession had to reach level 2 as soon as possible.

With a thought, the cultivation EXP books all turned into light spots and merged into the sword saint profession’s progress bar.

In an instant, the sword saint’s EXP bar progressed from one-third to half of the bar.

From the looks of it, after two more rounds of the lottery, he should be able to step into level 2.

Now that he was done with the profession upgrading, the next was the skills.

Never mind the EXP conversion from the skill books of the existing skills, the most important thing now was the skills he wanted to improve.

First of all, sword aura shield. Before considering victory, consider defeat.

Then, another attack-type skill. Su Mo’s gaze fell on the sword energy slash.

Thus, his interface changed.

[Professions: Sword Saint level 1 (50%), priest level 1, marksman level 1, staff bearer level 1]

[Abilities: Sword energy shield level 2, sword energy slash level 1 (90%), storm sword level 1 (50%), finger sword level 1 (40%), instant sword level 1 (30%), blood coagulation sword level 1 (30%), sword condensation technique level 1 (30%), eye of truth level 1 (20%), wise heart level 1 (10%), snake staff level 1 (10%), poison immunity level 1, wind-chasing arrow level 1, super endurance level 1, dark vision level 1]

Looking at the interface, he had a total of 14 skills. Among the level 1 Transcendents, few could compare to him. His interface could be said to be extremely luxurious.

It was a pity that though it was luxurious, the amazing number was not as useful as being specialized.

Perhaps he could use many of these skills now, but when he reached level 2, level 3, or even higher, he had to make some sacrifices.

His greatest advantage was not the number of skills he had, but the ability to select the best skills across many professions that suited him the most and thus develop his elite skill bank.

This was the same for his professions. He didn’t have to spend time and effort to develop every profession he had drawn. All he needed to do was to develop those that he used and needed the most.

This was probably also the path chosen by those with multiple professions.

It was just that he had many more professions than those who had multiple professions.

In essence, there was no difference.

Su Mo rationally recognized this and snapped back to reality from the dazzling array of classes and skills.

After finishing using the urinal, Su Mo pressed the flush button and left.

He went to the sink to wash his hands and left the toilet calmly.

Seeing the group gathered, he quickly walked forward.

When he got closer, he heard Captain Zhang reporting to Xu Liushuang, “…According to the conversation I heard from the memory fragments, there is a high probability that they came from Xiaocang Mountain. The earliest member can be traced back to a month ago, which means that the crack has probably been there for a month.”

Xu Wei also nodded and said, “I found a few strands of foxtail grass and beef tendon grass in the corner of the shop. These types of grass usually grow in the deep mountains, so the grass was likely attached to the foxes and they’ve brought them here. In addition, I also found someone’s identity card in the bag of one of the fox demons. The address on the identity card is a village on Xiaocang Mountain. That person may have been killed by the fox demon.”

“What did the security bureau say?” Xu Liushuang turned to look at Chen Rong.

Chen Rong quickly replied, “After looking at the surveillance footage, the fox demons first appeared in Chunhua Town that’s in the north. Further north of Chunhua Town is the desolate Xiaocang Mountain.

“It seems that the Door might really be in the Xiaocang Mountain,” Xu Liushuang looked at the crowd and decisively ordered, “Although the inspection report from the Celestial Association hasn’t been sent yet, we can’t wait any longer. This matter cannot be delayed for even a second. All members, head to Xiaocang Mountain immediately and search for the Door!”

“Understood!” Everyone agreed in unison.

Su Mo fell into deep thought.

Xiaocang Mountain?

He seemed to have heard of this place not long ago.
