Divine Card Creator

Qing Ming City.

“You. Come over here.”

Lu Ming pointed to Xiaobai’s Original Card.

Buzz—

The Original Card was slightly frightened.

“Well…”

Xiaobai felt embarrassed. “Master, right now it doesn’t really understand instructions. Don’t frighten it…”

Oh.

Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts. A newly born cognitive spirit?

What did this mean?

Card spirit?

He did a check, there was no related information, the Lunar Shadow legacy did not mention this as well!

“How did you cultivate it?” Lu Ming asked silently.

“Oh…”

Xiaobai tried to recall. “I merely kept talking to it and nagging it. As time passed, it just learned on its own.”

“Is that so?”

Lu Ming pondered deeply.

The Goddess of Mercy?

The Original Card would become smart after being nagged?!

“Come.”

Lu Ming placed his Original Card in front of Xiaobai. “Give it a try.”

“Okay.”

Xiaobai carefully talked to Lu Ming’s Original Card. “Original Card, Original Card, you have grown up. You are a mature Original Card, you have to learn to cultivate by yourself…”

Oh.

It did not seem to be working?

Perhaps this was not a cognitive spirit?

Well…

Could it be due to Xiaobai?

He was suddenly reminded of Wu Hongfei and his jinxed mouth. Could it be that Xiaobai had that kind of ability as well?

“Try it on me.”

He stood in front of Xiaobai.

“Huh?”

Xiaobai was baffled.

Weren’t they talking about the cultivation of the Original Card?

Was it possible to try it on the person itself?

Ah, her master must have wanted to check her cultivation results!

Therefore, Xiaobai turned to recite words at Lu Ming. “Lu Ming, Lu Ming. you have grown up. You are now a mature young man… boy? … Youth? Man? Adult?”

Xiaobai was confused.

Which term was more suitable?

Lu Ming was speechless.

He sensed the surroundings. He could feel nothing.

Fine.

It seemed that he had been paranoid.

Card spirit…

While Xiaobai was cultivating, the Original Card must have evolved and was born.

“Perhaps there is something wrong with my cultivation?”

Xiaobai sounded a little embarrassed.

She had read through the Card Creator reading materials and she knew that usually Card Creators would not have this type of Original Card. This was her master’s exclusive legacy! No one else had it!

She was worried that she did not learn it well.

“It’s still not too bad.”

Lu Ming paused briefly. “This is called a card spirit. It is a presence that supports the Card Creator.”

“Okay.”

Xiaobai took down notes seriously.

“A powerful card spirit will cultivate and create cards by itself. It will cast the cards and recover by itself. It will make its own deduction and it is indestructible. It can even be used as a weapon!”

Lu Ming told her all the possible functions of the plug-in.

The Original Card shivered.

It did not know that it could be so formidable.

“Wow!” Xiaobai exclaimed.

“Good.”

“My card spirit evolved to become a cat. After you turn stronger, I will show it to you. As the card spirit becomes stronger, it will make a difference when you seal the Swordsman in the future!”

Lu Ming spoke in a grave and earnest manner.

“Okay!”

Xiaobai’s face turned red in excitement.

Wow.

Her master’s card spirit had turned into a cat. It was amazing.

“Go ahead and cultivate.”

Lu Ming touched her little head.

“Okay!”

Xiaobai went off to cultivate in high spirits.

“This child…”

Lu Ming was filled with emotions.

Oh.

Evolved to have a cognitive spirit…

Lu Ming looked pensive. Could this thing really work?

Should he give it a try?

…

At this very moment…

In the Sea of Consciousness.

The black cat had woken up.

It was curious about Lu Ming’s question as well as his sudden appearance. It swept its thought across the shop and was confused.

In the shop.

It heard the low murmurs of men and women…

On the one side, the girl named Xiaobai was nagging at her Original Card: ‘Original Card, Original Card, you have already grown up. You have to learn how to create cards and to cast them by yourself. You have to recover by yourself and to make your own deductions…’

On the other side, Lu Ming was reciting to his Original Card as well: ‘Original Card, Original Card, you have already grown up. You must learn to cultivate by yourself…’

What were these two people up to?

The black cat looked dumbstruck. What the hell were they doing?!

She was a kid, it was fine to behave as such. But he was a grown up…

This was crazy!

Forget it.

The black cat could not be bothered with them. It went back to sleep.

…

At this very moment…

Lu Ming gave up as well.

“It did not seem to work…”

He was somewhat disappointed. He had been secretly reciting more than a hundred times. There was no response in the lifeless Original Card. He could only give up for now.

There were no rules to follow in terms of mutation.

Forget it.

Lu Ming rubbed his head.

He already had the Lunar Shadow legacy. There was no need to think too much about other things.

The time was just right.

Now that he had a good rest, he could summarize the returns that he had so far.

First of all…

His ability had been enhanced.

Originally, his energy level was at two thousand six hundred points. After his hard work and engaging in fights during this period of time, competing with various big-shots in life-and-death struggles, he had increased to three thousand points!

The effect was…

Damn lousy!

He had made the least improvement in his energy level.

Everything had been improved in the trials, except for the most important energy level. The small increase was only made possible through creating cards continuously and the recovery thereafter…

He was embarrassed that he only managed to increase by a very few hundred points of energy in the Land of Legacy that was rich in energy.

Thankfully…

His energy quality had improved.

The various levels of a cultivator had always been very distinct.

Built vocation core, one-star!

Reached one thousand points of energy, two-star!

Reached ten thousand points of energy, three-star!

And when the cultivator reached a three-star level, he would encounter the first bottleneck. One needed to maintain the same energy and to keep tempering it to change its quality to break through the limit!

That was to have a higher quality!

To have stronger energy!

One would eventually condense the vocation core to break through to become a four-star!

This was the usual cultivation path.

But for Lu Ming…

He had completed the three-star tempering stage and his energy quality had reached the peak. However, his energy level was only at three thousand points. This was indeed strange.

Theoretically.

As long as he continued to cultivate and increase his energy level, increasing from three thousand points to ten thousand points, he would be able to become a real three-star peak automatically! He would be able to skip the tempering stage!

However, this was not an easy path.

Energy that had been tempered would require an immense amount of normal energy in order to increase by a few points! The increase in energy would inevitably be dramatically affected!

However…

It was okay.

Lu Ming was confident about this.

Nothing was a problem as long as it could be settled with money and energy! If Zhao Yunshan encountered such problems in his path of cultivation, he might be smiling in his sleep!

Secondly…

Regarding the legacy…

The entire Lunar Shadow legacy was within his body.

Right now, he had the foundational knowledge of swordsmanship, as well as some history and experience. All these seemed to be Lunar Shadow’s experiences…

These were fairly okay.

What was most important was that it came with a complete set of abilities.

Other than the basic operation methods, from three-star to four-star, five-star, and all the way to nine-star, there was powerful swordplay for each level!

Unnecessary information had been removed. This was the essence of everything!

There were seven swords in total, one for each level!

This was the Lunar Shadow legacy!

He had no idea whether Lunar Shadow had reached nine-star, but the Lunar Shadow Swordplay had gone all the way to the nine-star, it went to show Lunar Shadow’s confidence!

Of course.

The only swordplay that Lu Ming had mastered was the first sword—Moonblade!

This was the only ability in the Lunar Shadow legacy that had the lowest difficulty level. Besides, due to the special nature of the Original Card, there was a certain degree of variation when it was used…

He had no idea whether it was for the better or worse.

Anyway…

It was considered that he had barely mastered the swordplay.

As for whether he would be able to master the four-star swordplay when it appeared the next time, he would worry about it then.

This was the legacy.

The other levels would slowly unlock as he grew stronger.

Thirdly, the transformation of the Original Card.

Due to the legacy, Lu Ming’s Original Card had transformed again. Strangely, he had no idea what it had turned into.

Buzz—

Lu Ming summoned his Original Card.

On the surface, it still looked as usual, but whenever energy flashed, one could see the cracks on the Original Card. It radiated with golden glory…

He was right!

This was the origin of the golden lightning!

Perhaps it had absorbed too much energy on the mountain filled with lightning?

Anyway…

That was it.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Lu Ming tried practicing again.

Lightning struck!

The Original Card was the core that a Card Creator used when sealing abilities. It had evolved into a weapon in the truest sense! When the Original Card was in use…

Lu Ming glanced at the edge of the Original Card.

Sharp!

Dauntless!

Shush!

He tried to slide the Original Card across the table.

Cheez—

The table in front of him was cut into two halves.

It was very powerful!

It was as sharp as a Sword Embryo!

He did not even use his mental strength now. When a Swordsman used his abilities as well as his mental strength, the effect would increase…

He wondered which level his Original Card was at now?

He had no idea at all!

Anyway…

It would at least be a three-star.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The Original Card danced in his hands.

“Master!”

Xiaobai widened her eyes. “Did you tear things down again?”

Cough.

He had almost forgotten that apart from preparing meals and taking care of him, the young girl had taken on butler duties as well.

“I will be mindful next time.”

Lu Ming coughed.

Well…

Should he use the testing machine?

Lu Ming was tempted.

Theoretically.

The testing machine could detect card fluctuations and made some predictions on the effect. But if he inserted the Original Card inside, it could only detect the energy.

If his Original Card…

Shush!

Lu Ming made the Original Card float over to the machine.

Buzz—

The machine was running.

Dee!

“Warning! Please don’t insert offensive weapons!”

Lu Ming was silent.

Damn!

This was the Original Card?!

Therefore, the nature of the Original Card had been changed?

Wait a minute.

Could he still use his Original Card?!

Lu Ming was alarmed.

If the machine determined that it was a weapon and the Original Card’s outward appearance had changed, would it be able to absorb cards? The reason why he was able to build up his foundation within a short period of time was due to the lightning integration!

He had to test it out!

Shush!

Lu Ming created a simple Fireball.

Buzz—

He released the Fireball at the Original Card.

Seal!

Shush!

Lights and shadows flashed and the sealing was completed. The lines on the back of the Original Card appeared.

Again!

He tried another round.

The Original Card integrated two Fireballs and there were slight changes in the lines. It was similar to the lines before the Original Card mutated!

Thankfully, it was still able to perform lightning integration.

Lu Ming felt relieved.

Fourthly, his combat effectiveness had been enhanced.

Due to his physical fitness and disc-shaped mental state, his combat effectiveness was greatly enhanced. His comprehensive strength should be at a three-star peak!

This was his biggest reward this time.

At the very least, when he encountered a four-star and above powerful cultivator, he would be able to last for a while.

Finally…

It was the improvement of card creating abilities!

This was the most important improvement for Lu Ming!

No matter how much his Swordsman abilities had been enhanced, with the special nature of the lightning integration, Lu Ming would make the greatest improvement to his vocation as a Card Creator!

Swordsman…

What was the use of a Swordsman?

Why did so many people choose to be a Swordsman?

Energy Warrior was the most powerful vocation in last year’s annual vocation poll. Elementalist was the most popular vocation while Assassin was the most elegant vocation!

What about Swordsman?

It was the coolest vocation for ten consecutive years!

Yes.

This vocation… was nothing but cool.

Although a Swordsman had formidable offensive abilities, it had a high difficulty level and one had to be talented in order to do well. It consumed a lot of resources and it was very risky. Its high mortality rate and other factors caused it to fare fairly average in the comprehensive evaluation. Of course, it was also due to these factors that once a Swordsman reached tremendous success, the Swordsman would be extremely powerful!

Of course.

The nature of the Swordsman vocation had attracted many die-hard fans. In their opinions, they had an attachment to the sword and no other vocation could replace it!

For example—

Zhao Yunshan!

However…

Lu Ming was not the least interested.

Well…

Although a Swordsman was cool, he was already very handsome. He did not need the vocation to look better.

Furthermore…

Look at Zhao Yunshan…

His family was loaded, but in the end, he gave up as well.

This was dependent on one’s talents!

It was about one’s affinity!

It was about one’s comprehension!

It was not about being rich or not!

…

Or rather, money could only play a limited role! After all, one had to comprehend Sword Intent, Swordplay, and breakthrough…

It was mind-boggling to think about it.

This vocation was too tough!

If not for Lunar Shadow who forced the legacy on him, he had no intention to be involved with such a masochistic vocation!

Even now that he was half a Swordsman, Lu Ming knew very well of his strengths as well as what he should do and the path he should take in the future!

It was still Card Creator!

It was safe!

It was easy!

Unlike the Swordsman, if one was rich, one would be able to call the shots in this vocation.

Zhao Yunshan had used his money in the wrong place. If he was a Card Creator, many Swordsmen would beg him for mercy. He did not need to go through so many difficulties!

As his energy quality was being enhanced to a three-star peak, his Lamination Technique had improved tremendously, he could even withstand the lamination of the Burial Mound Card!

This was the biggest improvement!

He had no idea how much he had improved.

Stability…

Lu Ming pondered deeply for a moment.

It seemed that he had to make a trip to the Card Creators Association.
