Su Muqing concluded her transaction with Lin Xue and initiated her third matchmaking of the day. Strangely, the screen displayed only static, as if there were no satellite signal.
Su Muqing clicked to end the match, intending to try again. However, she was informed that her daily attempts were exhausted. This was baffling. Her count was deducted even without a successful connection? (Doesn't this resemble a data package bug?)
What if she encountered someone unlucky enough to fail all three attempts? Their chances would be wasted! No wonder they needed to add fixed trading partners.
Su Muqing opened the card pack on her screen. She remembered receiving a few cards today. She considered herself experienced now. Generally, cards yielded better items.
There were three cards in the pack: a Random Skill card and two Draw Enhancement cards. Based on the first draw, a lottery was held every seven days, allowing for four draws per month.
Su Muqing followed the prompts, used an enhancement card, and then clicked to draw. After a dazzling burst of colorful light, another card appeared on the screen.
It was a healing card from the cultivation world. Upon opening, it granted a random healing skill, with a remark in asterisks. The Premium Healing Technique could even resurrect the dead, but it required accumulating many cards.
Healing? This was incredibly practical. Without much hesitation, Su Muqing clicked to activate it.
Suddenly, a beam of light shone down from an unknown source, completely enveloping her. Su Muqing was startled but held back a cry.
The light roamed all over her body. Wherever it touched, it felt like the scorching sun, as if trying to incinerate her very consciousness.
Just as Su Muqing was about to break down, the lights on her body transformed into tiny, shimmering specks that drilled into her.
Unbeknownst to Su Muqing, her physical body on the ox cart was ablaze, emitting a warm yellow light. The small light specks were permeating her every pore, merging with her. kAnshu伍.ξà
Fortunately, the ox cart was fully enclosed. She was the only one inside. Otherwise, if this fantastical and bizarre sight were witnessed, it would be another major problem!
It took a long while for Su Muqing to recover. For a moment, she truly felt as if she were about to turn into smoke.
She pushed herself up and stood before the screen. An infrared beam scanned her, indicating she now possessed 37% healing power.
For minor injuries and illnesses, one could simply place their hand above the patient's body and rapidly vibrate their fingers to use the healing technique, allowing the recipient to recover quickly.
Su Muqing turned her hands over and examined them repeatedly. "What kind of healing technique is this? Is it really that powerful?" 看書喇
She observed the people outside the space. Everyone was steadily making their way, and even Lin Rongrong and the others were happily discussing something. No one seemed to have noticed her.
Therefore, to test the healing technique, she brought her physical body into the space. Then, she regressed her consciousness to her body and made a tiny cut on her finger.
Following the instructions on the screen, she tried moving her fingers rapidly. She could see wisps of clear green light seeping through her right index finger, surrounding the small wound.
Perhaps it was because the wound was too small, but within a few breaths, the cut healed completely, leaving no trace of injury.
It was indeed amazing! It was worth the torment she endured earlier, feeling like she was on fire. It was worth it! So worth it!
In addition to the healing technique, a Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture also appeared in her mind. As the name suggested, it contained methods for preparing countless poisons in the world and their antidotes. It seemed medicine and poison were indeed two sides of the same coin!
Seizing the momentum, Su Muqing quickly opened the other card. She stared nervously at the screen. She obtained a Rare Skill card, the Wind Thunder Technique, and a Marrow Cleansing Pill, which could open the Ren and Du meridians.
A precious three-in-one skill card, the Wind Thunder Lightning Technique. A Level 5 derivative product of the space. It could absorb wind, thunder, and lightning from the heavens and earth, and also convert its own energy into ranged attacks. It could summon wind, call thunder, and release lightning; a combination skill, integrated for offense and defense!
Wow! Wouldn't that give her a chance to become a peerless expert? Offense with one hand and healing with the other. With double buffs, she felt she could take on ten people!
So, Su Muqing decisively clicked to use it and swallowed the Marrow Cleansing Pill in one go. This pill was truly a celestial grade. As soon as it entered her mouth, it dissolved into a warm current that flowed to her lower abdomen.
Before she could finish marveling, she saw a beam of lightning descending from above her head, startling her into tightly closing her eyes. However, her hearing became even sharper. The crackling sound emitted by the flashing lightning made her bones ache just by listening.
The beam dispersed into thousands of fine currents, shooting directly towards Su Muqing's head. Then, they coursed through the blood vessels and meridians throughout her body. The sensation was indescribable.
Su Muqing was thrown backward onto the ground, foaming at the mouth and twitching uncontrollably. Pain! Such pain! Everywhere the current-like substance passed, it felt like someone was scraping her flesh layer by layer with a knife inside her body.
Finally, unable to bear the pain, she sent her physical body out of the space, thinking that with only her consciousness, the pain might lessen. To her dismay, it was futile! She rolled on the ground in the space, writhing in agony.
Didn't consciousness supposedly not feel pain? Why was she now in so much pain that she wished she were dead? Had she made a mistake in the steps, or was the pill expired?
"Ah! Ah! Ah..." Su Muqing couldn't help but cry out as she rolled, unintentionally bringing her physical body back into the space. When her consciousness returned to her body, the double impact made the pain even more intense!
The mechanical voice of 217 sounded: "Warning, warning, warning! Please control your noise level, or you will suffer backlash."
Su Muqing: "Damn it! %@# What kind of unfair terms are these! I'm in so much pain, and I'm not even allowed to cry out!"
... At the beginning of Hai Shi (around 9 PM), after Su Muqing sent her physical body out of the space, a mass of lightning followed her out.
"Rumble~ Rumble..." The sudden flashes and claps of thunder made the villagers of Houxi Village stop in their tracks, tilting their heads to look at the sky.
Above and behind the caravan, the otherwise dark night sky was filled with streaks of lightning. Every flash illuminated the sky as bright as day, accompanied by earth-shattering thunder.
It looked as if a hole had been ripped in the sky, pouring out all the lightning!
Why was there such strange celestial phenomenon? With such a massive display of lightning, there was not the slightest hint of rain. Could this be a warning that in addition to drought, other disasters were coming? Was life truly impossible in this world?
Lin Rongrong tightly hugged the little milk bun, preparing to return to the ox cart to find Su Muqing. Wang Shi noticed her movement and pulled her back.
"With such immense lightning, why are you running around blindly? Stay here! I'll call Qing Yatou over too." Wang Shi pulled Lin Rongrong and Su Cuiping to sit by the ox cart and then walked towards the back of the caravan.
