Chapter 213 The magical little stone tablet mark, the [Stone Tablet Land] that is about to open! (8K subscription required)
"The [Stone Tablet Land] will be open in three days. Try not to create cards during these three days. Try not to use the Breathing Method too much. Keep your mind, spirit, and star power full. Although the [Stone Tablet Land] is not dangerous, it contains inexplicable pressure that will constantly consume your spirit and star power. Comprehending the stone tablet will consume your mind and spirit power."
The person who spoke was Zhang Aiguo. Because Zhou Xuefeng had been recruited to the Beijing training base, the task of taking Ye Ning and other students from No. 1 Middle School to the "Stone Tablet Land" fell on him.
This time Ding Dequan sent Ye Ning to school for the purpose of getting bloodstained.
The purpose of staining the blood is naturally to go to the [Land of the Stone Tablet].
Speaking of this secret realm of [Land of Stone Tablets], it is quite special. Every time it opens, twenty smaller stone tablets will appear three days in advance. To enter, you have to drip blood on them.
In fact, this process is also a screening process. For those who are over 20 years old or have entered once, it will be useless even if the blood is dropped.
When blood is dripped into the small stone tablet, if the person passes the identification and is allowed to enter, it will quickly turn red and then turn into a stone tablet mark on the back of the hand of the person who passes.
After that, just wait three days and go to the location where the small stone tablet appears. When the secret realm is completely opened, the person with the mark on the back of his hand will be directly sucked in.
"Okay, come here, the small stone tablet is right here."
Zhang Aiguo took Ye Ninghe and pushed open the door of an office.
I saw a transparent glass cover on a table in the office, and inside the glass cover a small stone tablet about the size of a matchbox was floating.
There was a faint blue light flickering on its body. Just by looking at it from a distance, Ye Ning felt an inexplicable palpitation.
Is this the key to enter the [Land of Stone Tablets]?
Zhang Aiguo brought Ye Ning to the glass cover: "Ye Ning, relax a little. When I open the cover, you can grab the small stone tablet directly. This thing has a certain spirituality. If you don't grab it early, it will fly everywhere."
So amazing?
Looking at the small stone tablet in front of him emitting a faint blue light, Ye Ning became a little curious.
At this time, Zhang Aiguo had already hugged the transparent glass cover, and then he lifted it up and opened it.
Ye Ning's mind moved and he took action directly, grabbing the small stone tablet in his hand in one go.
Almost instantly, Ye Ning felt that the small stone tablet in his hand seemed a little "dishonest".
It was shaking slightly, and it really seemed to want to run away.
magical!
"Okay, hold on to him and extend your other hand."
Ye Ning did as he was told.
At this moment, a light flashed in Zhang Aiguo's hand, and a golden needle appeared in his hand.
Looking at the needle in his hand, which was about twenty centimeters long, Ye Ning frowned.
"Normally there would be a special blood collection needle, but I got the news from Teacher Zhou that you are already in the Moonlight Realm, and that kind of blood collection needle may not be able to pierce your finger, so I went to the school clinic to borrow a special device that is specially used for drawing blood from strong people with strong bodies."
Having said that, Zhang Aiguo threw the golden needle lightly, and it floated directly in the air. Then a hint of flame appeared on it, and then the whole golden needle took on a slight red color.
The next moment, the needle slid directly to Ye Ning's hand, then quickly moved downward. Ye Ning only felt a slight pain above his middle finger, and then a few drops of blood appeared on the finger.
"Hurry up and drip the blood onto the small stone tablet."
Ye Ning nodded, then placed his pierced hand on the small stone tablet and turned it over. Then he pressed his thumb slightly below the middle finger, and blood began to drip downwards.
One drop . . . Two drops . . .
As the blood dripped in, the original restlessness of the small stone tablet disappeared instantly, and then the dark blue color outside slowly disappeared. After about three or four seconds, a red color quickly appeared on the small stone tablet. Then, when the small stone tablet completely turned red, Ye Ning only felt his hand loosen, and the small stone tablet disappeared instantly.
The next moment, Ye Ning felt the back of his hand that had just grasped the small stone tablet become hot, and a red mark shaped like a small stone tablet appeared there.
Is this the mark to enter the [Land of Stone Tablets]?
Looking at the red mark, Ye Ning was quite curious. How on earth was this thing done?
Moreover, after this mark appeared, Ye Ning clearly felt that his star power seemed to be somewhat sucked there, and after he transferred the star power there, the star power seemed to have been filtered.
His star power seemed to be purified.
"Although the real good stuff is still in the [Stone Tablet Land], the mark in it is not an ordinary item. However, it has different effects on everyone. You can feel it more in these three days to see what characteristics your mark has. But don't worry, this mark will not disappear directly even if you enter the [Stone Tablet Land]. It can last for about a month. Normally, there will be a special secret method in it. One month is actually a bit rushed, but even if you can't fully comprehend it, the comprehension part is also quite good."
Listening to Zhang Aiguo's explanation, Ye Ning looked at the mark on the back of his hand with some surprise. This thing actually has benefits?
It really is the hidden treasure in the Golden City!
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
"Haha, it's okay. This is what I should do. You should stay at home and recuperate for the next few days. Come to school at 8 a.m. three days later. I will take you to the entrance then."
"Ok."
After that, Ye Ning left the school directly.
He actually wanted to look for his friends, but he found out that they had already come to school in the morning to get their marks and now they had all gone home.
But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, he has asked everyone in the group to meet at the club at Zhou Buhui’s home in the evening.
You know what, he misses his friends a lot after not seeing them for a few months.
Ding Dequan left early because of something, so Ye Ning left first.
Originally, Huang Yuetian wanted her to stay at her home in Huangjin City for a few days.
Huang Yuetian, a card maker and forging master at the Venerable Realm, is known for his wealth and inhumanity.
When she first arrived, she bought a big villa.
Speaking of which, it is completely different from the stingy look of my uncle.
Tsk tsk, I can only say that my uncle is too thin-skinned, for such a good rich woman!
"Aqiu~" Ding Dequan, who was working, suddenly sneezed and turned to look behind him.
Although he couldn't see it, he knew that in that direction, his nephew who had betrayed his uncle definitely didn't say anything good.
You little bastard, I’ll deal with you later!
"Dequan, what's wrong? Is there any problem over there?" A middle-aged man in combat uniform next to Ding Dequan looked at Ding Dequan and suddenly said.
"Nothing, just continue the mission."
Looking at Ding Dequan's expression, the middle-aged man didn't say much.
Although this mission is not dangerous, the target is quite important, and we are required to capture him alive, so we cannot be distracted at this moment.
On the other hand, after leaving school, Ye Ning went straight back to his original home.
Huang Yuetian was currently being pulled by his mother to explain the basics of card maker to her, and she didn't have time to take him to her house.
We'll talk about it later.
The lease of his house here has not expired yet, so it’s okay for him to go there now.
But it’s been uninhabited for such a long time that it might be a little dusty.
Soon, Ye Ning arrived at the community, and he subconsciously looked towards the small square of the community.
Sure enough, I saw that familiar figure.
It was Lin Xiaoxiao.
Looking at her practicing, Ye Ning turned around and walked towards the small square.
"Xiaoxiao~" As soon as Ye Ning arrived at the small square, he shouted loudly.
On the other side, Lin Xiaoxiao was practicing martial arts. When she suddenly heard a familiar voice, her eyes lit up and she immediately turned around.
All of a sudden, the familiar person appeared in her eyes.
Looking at the familiar bad man, Lin Xiaoxiao's mood suddenly fluctuated, and she subconsciously stopped and wanted to run towards him.
But just as she took a step forward, she stopped again.
After struggling for a while, she finally stopped where she was.
On the other side, Ye Ning looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with some amusement.
Judging from the look of it, this girl must have been quite surprised to see him, but she seemed a little embarrassed?
Seeing her like this, Ye Ning was still very happy. The most frightening thing about people getting along with each other is being too enthusiastic. It was obvious that at least for now, Lin Xiaoxiao still regarded him as a friend.
Ye Ning came to Lin Xiaoxiao in two or three steps and looked at her with a smile: "Not bad, Xiaoxiao, you have also broken through to the apprentice level after not seeing you for a few months."
Yes, judging from her aura alone, Lin Xiaoxiao has already entered the Starlight Realm. "Fighting God Technique" has completely entered automatic mode, and it is not her first time. At least judging from her aura, it feels like she has completely stabilized.
Looking at Ye Ning who was so close to her, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little excited and seemed to have a lot to say, but her personality has never been like this. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Ye Ning spoke first.
So looking at the smile on Ye Ning's face, Lin Xiaoxiao rarely looked into Ye Ning's eyes, and then nodded slightly.
"Well, I broke through about half a month after you left."
Listening to Lin Xiaoxiao's words and looking at her beautiful eyes, Ye Ning was stunned.
It was not because Lin Xiaoxiao broke through so early, but because it was very difficult for Lin Xiaoxiao to speak such a long sentence to him. You know, generally speaking, this girl would only say some "umm, oh, and yes".
What's more, she actually looked into his eyes when she spoke for the first time, which was really a qualitative leap for this girl.
This was the first time she looked into Ye Ning's eyes and spoke.
If someone also suffers from social phobia, he or she should be able to understand how amazing it is to be able to do this.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao felt that she was a little bold today, and after seeing Ye Ning's obviously stunned expression, she suddenly felt a little hot.
This time she couldn't keep looking at him anymore, and once again turned her eyes away, gently lifting the hair beside her ear with her fingers.
Lin Xiaoxiao, you’re trying to kill yourself!
How dare you look into the bad man's eyes!
This is too scary!
Wow, it turns out that he is not handsome for more than three seconds. Ye Ning originally thought that Lin Xiaoxiao’s personality had changed, but in two seconds, she was back to her original state.
But that's normal. It's only been more than four months, not four years. People can't change that easily.
Afterwards, Ye Ning didn't deliberately say anything more to provoke Lin Xiaoxiao.
Her temper cannot be changed in a short time, but now she can even look into the other person's eyes when talking to him, which is a big improvement.
To say anything more would be excessive.
Afterwards, Ye Ning pulled Lin Xiaoxiao aside and asked her about what had happened during the four months he was away.
Although what Lin Xiaoxiao said was very simple, she did talk to Ye Ning about what had happened during this period.
Ye Ning also basically knew the recent situation of his friends.
Less than a week after Ye Ning left, the training and recruitment in several war zones began, and the friends were naturally selected.
Over the past four months at the training base, everyone's abilities have improved significantly.
Everyone entered the Starlight Realm one after another.
And everyone's natal card is pretty good.
Just like Lin Xiaoxiao herself.
【Lady Qingyuan】.
This is the real name of her natal card. Its effect is very powerful. It can provide huge blessing to strengthening cards. After activation, it can transform into [Qingyuan Lady], and its combat power will soar. It also has extremely special abilities. Every time a certain amount of star power is consumed, it can automatically summon a [Grass-headed God] with decent combat power, which can provide strong support for her battle.
In fact, she also thanked Ye Ning very much, because according to the characteristics of her family's heirloom cards, her natal card was almost destined to be an ice-attribute-related enhancement, which would completely determine her future path, which was to take the ice-attribute route.
In fact, Lin Xiaoxiao did not say that this route would actually have great hidden dangers in the future, but she also had her reasons for having to use the family heirloom card.
However, the [Eight-Nine Profound Art] card and the [Three-pointed Double-edged Sword] that Ye Ning helped her make completely changed her natal card. While she was still able to hold her own family cards normally, her natal card was not affected and completely transformed into the ice and snow type.
There was no intention of hiding her natal card from Ye Ning and she told him directly.
After hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's words, Ye Ning was stunned.
He never expected that his card would have such a big impact.
The cards he made would actually bring additional changes to other people's natal cards.
You know, whether it is [Eight-Nine Profound Art] or [Three-pointed Double-edged Sword], although they both belong to Erlang Shen Yang Jian, there was obviously no content about him added when these two cards were made.
As a result, Lin Xiaoxiao's natal card was affected so greatly.
Qingyuan?
You should know that one of Yang Jian’s titles is Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun!
Besides, isn’t [Grass-Headed God] Yang Jian’s ability?
Wow, did Lin Xiaoxiao directly inherit part of Yang Jian’s power?
Speaking of which, it seems that the power of the card maker is really special. Using the cards made by the card maker to stimulate the natal card will actually bring such a big impact. This is something Ye Ning did not expect.
But since Lin Xiaoxiao has such a great influence, wouldn’t the influence of others be no less great?
I didn't just make cards for Lin Xiaoxiao. Zhou Buhui, Li Qingqing and Han Meimei also made their own cards.
At this point, Ye Ning became curious about the natal cards of the three of them.
Speaking of Ye Ning, he was not allowed to bring his phone during the three-month devil training, so he had no chance to communicate with his friends during the three months. After three months, it seemed that the training of his friends was still going on. So there was basically no talk in the group of friends, and it seemed that they only started to bubble up half a month ago.
Speaking of which, these guys are really annoying. They all hide things from Ye Ning in the group. Ye Ning asked them several times about their natal cards, but got no answer.
So he tried to ask directly.
After hearing Ye Ning's question, Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a long time. Just when Ye Ning thought that she had been asked by other friends not to leak the secret or something, Lin Xiaoxiao slowly spoke.
"Bu Hui's natal card is called [Three Altars Dharma Body]. It has the ability to greatly increase the power of spell cards and reduce the consumption of spell cards. If activated, a phantom with three heads and six arms will be generated behind her. Every time she releases a spell card, the phantom behind her will automatically release an enhanced version of the spell, which has very strong damage."
Wow, three altars?
The Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, right? Isn’t this Nezha? And he even has the special effect of three heads and six arms?
Tsk tsk, Lin Xiaoxiao is the female version of Yang Jian, so it seems that Zhou Buhui is the female version of Nezha.
At this moment, Ye Ning knew that she had misunderstood Lin Xiaoxiao. What she was thinking just now was not because she didn't know or couldn't remember clearly. She was probably organizing her words. After all, it was not easy for Lin Xiaoxiao to say so many words at once.
After that, after thinking for a long time, Lin Xiaoxiao said, "Qingqing doesn't have a natal card because she is a sealer. Normally, when a sealer breaks through, he will condense his natal seal card, but Qingqing is different. Her natal seal card directly turned into the appearance of [Vajra Cutter], and has all the characteristics of [Vajra Cutter], and even has some additional special effects. Speaking of it, Qingqing is the most exaggerated, because her troops have called her over many times to cooperate in research.
After her story spread, the Diamond Cutter card you invented became a hot seller. Now all sealers below the Starlight Realm are rushing to buy it. I also heard that many sealers above the Starlight Realm are considering whether to discard their own natal seal cards and rebuild them."
what?
【Diamond Cutter】 is selling like hot cakes?
Wouldn't that mean he made a fortune?
Wow, it looks like I’ll be earning a large sum of money by the end of this year!
The authorization letter he signed with the card-making company allowed him to get a lot of dividends, and the company provided him with many ways to share the profits.
Ye Ning chose to settle the account at the end of the year because he didn't find it troublesome. Of course, taking into account that there might be unexpected events, he also added a clause that if necessary, he could go to the company headquarters at any time to settle the dividends in advance.
Ye Ning is not particularly short of money now, and because he has been in Beijing all the time, he has never settled his dividends. He really doesn't know how much money he can get now.
But considering the number of sealers, this amount of money will not be small.
The most important thing is that many people become sealers every year, so this money can be said to be a long-term stream.
After all, if we are just talking about the quality of a single card, [Vajra Cutter] is indeed of high quality, but that is the one made by Ye Ning himself. The mass-produced [Vajra Cutter] sold by the card-making company is still a little inferior to the one made by Ye Ning himself, so although it sold well when Ye Ning left, it was not yet completely popular.
No wonder when I was in Beijing, I often heard Huang Yuetian say that many people wanted Ye Ning to help customize high-quality [Vajra Cutter]. Ye Ning made it several times when he was free and earned a lot of money.
At that time, he thought that those who came to him were all wealthy people, and that others might have deliberately given more money for Huang Yuetian's sake.
Now it seems that, on the contrary, the value of the Diamond Cutter may have increased a lot.
Wow, it’s me as expected!
Listening to Lin Xiaoxiao's words, Ye Ning was in a good mood.
Of course, this was not just because he made money, but also because he heard a hint of admiration in Lin Xiaoxiao's tone.
This is so rare!
"Then there's Meimei. The real name of her natal card is [Ghost Den Arrives]. It's a rare pseudo-domain card. When it's activated, it will turn the surrounding area into a ghost den. The power of the undead and Yin-attributed cards in the ghost den will be greatly increased, and the power of various undead and Yin-attributed spells will also be increased. Meimei just happened to be planning to go the undead route, so this natal card completely meets her requirements."
demon?
The card Ye Ning made for Han Meimei was [One-horned Demon King·Double]. In fact, if we really talk about the quality of the card itself, this card is the highest at that grade. After all, it is a fusion card.
But in terms of status, the One-horned Demon King is indeed much inferior to Yang Jian and Nezha.
So this may be the reason why Han Meimei’s natal card did not receive any blessing in terms of her real name.
However, the pseudo-domain card is indeed very good. You must know that as Han Meimei's strength increases, the pseudo-domain card will slowly be transformed into a real domain card, and Han Meimei's understanding of related fields will be greatly improved in the future.
"Ye Ning, you are really amazing!"
Lin Xiaoxiao controlled her eyes and looked at Ye Ning. Her heart was beating wildly at this moment.
Although she was a little shy, she still said this resolutely.
Because she really thinks Ye Ning is so awesome, it would be better if he wasn't so "bad".
When Ye Ning was still thinking about the three people's natal cards, he suddenly heard Lin Xiaoxiao's serious praise.
Ye Ning looked at Lin Xiaoxiao in surprise.
Then I saw two words written in her beautiful big eyes.
sincere!
My goodness! At this moment, Ye Ning, this shameless guy, suddenly felt his heart beating faster and faster.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a matter of whether you're moved or not.
He was a little shy because of the praise.
As the saying goes, sincerity is the eternal secret.
Lin Xiaoxiao's compliment was too sincere, and her big eyes were full of seriousness.
Ye Ning scratched his head awkwardly: "Oh, you suddenly praised me so much, I feel a little embarrassed, in fact, it's not that great, hehe."
Looking at Ye Ning's appearance, Lin Xiaoxiao's mouth corners curled slightly, and then returned to normal.
She didn't say anything, but her eyes were still serious.
Ye Ning is really, really amazing.
This is what she said and what she thought.
Fortunately, although Ye Ning was a little "shy" because of Lin Xiaoxiao's compliments, he recovered quickly and talked to Lin Xiaoxiao about Zhen Hao and others again.
Although their natal cards and destiny bonds were not bad, after knowing that the cards made with the help of Ye Ning had caused qualitative changes in the natal cards of the other four people, they often said that they regretted becoming card makers.
Lin Xiaoxiao may not have realized it, but Ye Ning could think of it, that those three guys were just joking, and the card maker and other card masters have different paths.
Generally speaking, combat effectiveness is not the first factor that card makers consider. Of course, it doesn’t mean that card makers are not strong, but in terms of comprehensive ability, card makers are much stronger.
Zhen, Hao and the other two should be quite satisfied with their natal cards and natal bonds. It is very clear from what they often say in the group.
After chatting for a while, Ye Ning had a basic understanding of everyone's situation, so he looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with interest: "Want a hand?"
Listening to Ye Ning's words, Lin Xiaoxiao thought about it, then nodded: "Okay."
Because it is in a small square in the community.
It is naturally impossible for the two of them to open fire at full strength, and this time it will still be just a physical battle.
To be precise, it is a weapon battle, that is, the [Three-pointed Double-edged Sword] versus the [Ruyi Jingu Bang].
In this battle, Lin Xiaoxiao clearly felt Ye Ning's progress. Whether in terms of skills or physical fitness, Ye Ning has improved a lot.
Of course, her improvement should not be underestimated.
Because they both controlled their strength, after Ye Ning's skills improved, the fight between the two seemed quite evenly matched.
The fight lasted for more than an hour, with each one hitting the other with a knife and a stick. It was so intense.
However, because they did not use their full strength, even though they had been sparring for more than an hour, the physical energy consumption was not particularly great.
It's probably just like a warm-up.
Eventually, the two stopped sparring. Even though this little warm-up did not test out the other's level at all, it made both of them more eager to fight.
"It's a bit boring to play like this, let's go to Buhui's club and have a good time."
In fact, Lin Xiaoxiao also had this feeling in her heart.
She knew that she would never be able to beat Ye Ning, even though she understood that her progress was significant, but Ye Ning's progress was definitely greater.
After all, he was going to the capital!
However, she was still looking forward to fighting with Ye Ning.
At least she needs to know how big the gap is between her and him now.
Knowing this gave her the motivation to keep chasing.
After a short rest, it was getting late, so the two of them prepared to pack up and head to the club.
They both went home.
When I opened the door, a special smell hit me.
This is the musty smell of a house that has not been lived in for a long time.
Frowning, Ye Ning didn't plan to clean up. He wasn't going to come back to live for the time being anyway, so there was no point in cleaning up now.
So he just went to his room and cleaned up the bathroom a bit.
Although the battle just now was just a warm-up, Ye Ning still sweated a lot. He took a shower, changed his clothes and went out directly.
At this moment, downstairs at the gate, Lin Xiaoxiao had also changed her clothes and was standing there waiting for him.
Wow, this girl takes a shower so quickly. Although I took some time to clean up the bathroom, it wasn’t too long. And she ended up waiting for me?
Ye Ning quickened his pace and walked directly to Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Let's go."
Hearing Ye Ning's words, Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head. At this moment, a breeze blew by, and a faint fragrance emanated from Lin Xiaoxiao.
It smells like... shampoo mixed with body wash.
Although he knew this was the case, when he smelled the scent and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's hair, which was rarely tied up but was loose, Ye Ning's heart still beat faster.
This time it was an inexplicable feeling.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't say anything and walked out of the community with Ye Ning. Then after Ye Ning summoned his motorcycle, she sat directly on the back seat.
Taking the helmet that Ye Ning handed to her, Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then gently grabbed the clothes on both sides of Ye Ning's waist with both hands.
"Sit tight!"
Ye Ning said something to Lin Xiaoxiao behind him, then stepped on the accelerator and flew out on his motorcycle.
The sudden acceleration startled Lin Xiaoxiao, and her hands subconsciously changed from grabbing Ye Ning's clothes to gently hugging Ye Ning's waist.
When she realized what was happening and wanted to take it back, she was a little afraid to do so.
Ye Ning’s speed is too fast.
There was no way, Lin Xiaoxiao could only suppress the shame in her heart and continue hugging Ye Ning.
Then he tried hard to control himself and try not to get close to Ye Ning's back.
But this action is somewhat difficult.
This guy is really bad!
Although Lin Xiaoxiao is naive, she is not stupid. She guessed that Ye Ning was driving so fast on purpose.
Ye Ning ignored Lin Xiaoxiao's little thoughts behind him.
Since no one is hugging me at the moment, I must show off my driving skills, so I drive even faster!
Soon, they arrived at Zhou Buhui's club.
The private room had naturally been booked, and Ye Ning had already told his mother that he wanted to get together with his friends and would not have dinner with them for the time being.
The two got out of the car, and Lin Xiaoxiao walked straight into the club without even looking at Ye Ning.
Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's actions, Ye Ning smiled and then put away his motorcycle.
Finally, he quickly followed.
After entering the club, the two were led to a private room by the waiter.
Ye Ning picked up his membership card and swiped it, and the electric door opened automatically.
Then I saw that everyone else had arrived.
After the door opened, the people inside naturally saw Ye Ning.
"Brother Ning~"
"Brother Ye Ning~"
"Brother Ye Ning~"
Different names came from different people, but the surprise of seeing Ye Ning was the same.
It’s been a long time since we last met.
Naturally, everyone was quite excited this time.
Ye Ning did so naturally.
After Ye Ning entered the room, everyone started chatting.
