Wan Tianqing took the letter and infused it with spirituality. The characters on the paper began to move like living things, rearranging themselves.
After he finished reading, he gave the paper a light flick, and the ink flew off, vanishing into a wisp of blue smoke.
“The boy is heavy-handed, but his mind is quite meticulous.”
After a moment's thought, he picked up a pen and wrote a reply directly on the original stationery.
Once the letter was finished, he gave the paper a gentle squeeze.
The paper folded itself into an envelope, and the writing on it dimmed and disappeared.
“Go.”
“Yes, sir.”
The servant took the envelope, stood up, and walked out.
Wan Tianqing tucked his hands into his sleeves, his eyes lowered.
“Great Wei has been peaceful for too long.”
“Indeed!”
From the shadows, a goat-bearded elder stood with his hands at his sides, answering softly.
...
Huangshan City.
Upon returning to the garage, Yin Yang lowered the rolling shutter.
A wisp of spirituality floated before his eyes.
Except for the Ward Guard pathway, it was almost impossible for other pathways to see spirituality at low Sequences. But Yin Yang was different because his Sequence 9 abilities were Spirit Sight and Perception.
His enhanced Perception was especially useful now!
Yin Yang casually began to manipulate this spirituality intertwined with humanity, only to find that this power was somewhat difficult to control.
If the previous difficulty of manipulating spirituality was a one, the current difficulty was a five, or even a six!
‘How is the power?’
Yin Yang detonated that burst of spiritual energy, only to find that its power had also decreased significantly.
‘Hmm? Is it all negative improvements?’
He rubbed his chin, thinking that if this was the case, he would have to find a way to wipe this power out.
Yin Yang activated his Perception skill to its full extent, examining this power that he could now tentatively use.
To make a comparison, he even summoned his divine avatar.
He compared humanity, spirituality, and divinity.
Ultimately, he discovered that these three types of spirituality countered each other!
Spirituality counters humanity, humanity counters divinity, and divinity counters spirituality!
Thinking of this, Yin Yang wondered: since they countered each other, could they also generate each other?
The answer was no!
No matter which two powers were merged, they became difficult to manipulate, and their power plummeted.
‘What if I use all three powers?’
Yin Yang carefully brought the three powers together.
Hum~
BOOM!!!
...
The next day, when Yin Yang went out to set up his stall, he had a brand-new tricycle, and even his sign was new.
It couldn't be helped; the old ones had all blown up yesterday!
In fact, if it hadn't been for the lantern-carrying ghost, Yin Yang would probably be in the hospital right now.
In just one week, Yin Yang's grilled sausage stall outside the university had become famous.
People even came to take photos and check in, which caused more and more stalls to appear in the surrounding area. Eventually, the management of the food street even came to him, hoping Yin Yang would set up his stall there.
Not only would they waive the stall fee, but if Yin Yang cooperated with their promotion, they would even give him a publicity fee.
But Yin Yang refused them flatly, without the slightest hesitation.
The veteran stall owners nearby clenched their fists in secret, thinking it was so satisfying!
The new stall owners, however, looked at Yin Yang as if he were an idiot.
A spot in the food street cost hundreds of thousands; how could he refuse it when it was offered for free?
But on second thought, it was better if he didn't go. Otherwise, wouldn't the foot traffic here decrease?
Yin Yang's refusal of the food street was interpreted with a new meaning in the eyes of the students.
“Boss Nie can't bear to leave us!”
“That's right! From now on, I'll only eat Boss Nie's grilled sausages!”
“Me too, me too!”
Hearing this, several people nearby said speechlessly.
“What? If Boss Nie went to the food street, you wouldn't eat his sausages anymore?”
“...”
“Well, I'd still have to eat them.”
“Heh, then what are you whining about, you gluttons!”
“Look at what you're saying. I'd love to support Boss Nie's business, but the problem is that Boss Nie has a purchase limit!”
“Exactly! If Boss Nie didn't have a limit, I'd buy ten at once!”
“Tsk, tsk, just thinking about it is wonderful~”
The students chattered away. When Yin Yang sold out of sausages and was about to leave, they greeted him enthusiastically.
“Boss Nie, we'll always support you!”
“Yes! I hope I can eat your sausages every day!”
Yin Yang smiled and waved at them.
Truth be told, Yin Yang was actually about the same age as them, yet he had already experienced so much.
...
At night.
Yin Yang arrived outside Huangshan City and handed the gold card to the bird-faced man.
After verifying it, the bird-faced man waved his hand, and a fire ring immediately rose from the bonfire. Yin Yang jumped into it.
The passages to Wanwu City were never fixed.
This time, it happened to appear near Huangshan City. That gold card was the ticket to enter Wanwu City.
When an 'Envoy' was nearby, the gold card would show a special display, informing the cardholder of the time and place to participate.
After the firelight vanished, Yin Yang once again appeared in that bustling market.
The sounds of hawking were constant, and behind him was that notice board.
【First, the use of transcendent items is forbidden.】
【Second, the use of transcendent abilities is forbidden.】
【Third, no playing petty tricks.】
Yin Yang smiled, pulled up his black mask, and began to wander around the stalls.
Last time, he had found a giant skull from the Strongman pathway at a stall. He had placed it on his altar to nourish it, which counted as finding a hidden gem.
He hadn't been here in a long time, so he naturally wanted to see if there were any new discoveries, especially after his Perception ability had evolved.
After walking less than a hundred meters, Yin Yang found something that interested him.
It was a small monkey statue, only about ten centimeters tall. The carving was delicate, but the material was unknown.
“Boss, how much for this monkey?”
The stall owner was huddled in a black robe. Hearing Yin Yang's question, he took a look and said,
“Two gold notes.”
“What kind of thing is worth two gold notes?”
“You should be a transcendent too, right? Can't you feel the spiritual fluctuations on it?”
“Huh?”
Yin Yang looked at the monkey in surprise, then looked at the stall owner.
“Don't tell me this is a transcendent item!”
“It indeed used to be a transcendent item.”
“And now?”
“Now its power is depleted.”
Yin Yang curled his lip upon hearing that, then held up two fingers.
“Two hundred.”
“Deal.”
“...”
Yin Yang took out his wallet, pulled out two hundred-yuan bills, and handed them to the old man before picking up the small monkey statue.
The old man tucked the money away and said,
“Young man, I should warn you, this statue is a bit unlucky.”
“Ha?”
Seeing Yin Yang's eyes widen, the old man slowly sat back down and pointed to a sign nearby.
【Once sold, no returns or exchanges.】
Yin Yang gave him a thumbs up and turned to leave.
Inwardly, however, he was laughing.
There was still a very faint trace of spirituality inside this little monkey statue. It was just too weak—not to mention using it, even if it were just a decoration, this spirituality would vanish before long.
But that didn't matter; he knew Spirit-Bestow!
