Beginning with the Ubume Bird Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Chapter 12 The Handwriting of Jie Master

Transform any weapon radically?

Li Yan hadn't even had time to be happy when a line of small print immediately deflated his excitement.

“Weapon Coating” is a unique technique of certain fruits, the related information for which can be viewed with Yan Fu points spent on exploring notes. Without the corresponding purchase access rights, Yan Fu does not offer “Weapon Coating” services.

Li Yan waved his hand grandly, opening the auction house he had hanging, but before he could search for information on purchasing “Weapon Coating” access rights, he was startled by a line of small print in the corner.

The final closing price for all the purchase access rights he'd listed–acquired on his recent trip that stirred up Capital City–was over 3,400 points!

In the last Renchen incident, between “Poisonous Fire Skylark” and “Hundred Ferocious Tigers Rushing Arrows,” plus all kinds of siege machinery along with weapons, and equipment diagrams, Li Yan had only managed to sell a few hundred points' worth. How did it go for such a high price this time?

Li Yan looked closely only to find that within the purchase access rights he'd listed, those relics he had deemed of little use were met with frenzied enthusiasm.

“Life-sized Statue of an Eight-Year-Old purchase rights, final closing price 1426 points.”

“Six Pu Family's Private Seal purchase rights, final closing price 603 points.”

“Master Longxi's Hand-copied Manuscript of Teaching Records purchase rights, final closing price 383 points.”

“Interesting,” Li Yan mused, and he could roughly understand why this was happening.

The Way of the Yellow Turban's “Qi Healing Technique” was something he had acquired inadvertently, yet it was treasured like precious jewels by the high-ranking Master Gaogong of Dragon Tiger Mountain. He himself even obtained divine skills like the [Nine Phoenix Divine Talisman].

In the vast expanse of Daqian Yanfu, if there were Taoist powers like Dragon Tiger Mountain, then places like Lei Yin Temple and Vajra Temple would be just a matter of time, and then, showcasing the Life-sized Statue of an Eight-Year-Old, he would surely be able to exchange it for enough benefits.

And who's to say there weren't Buddhist followers among those wandering explorers?

The same reasoning applied to the other relics.

Even if he had figured it out, Li Yan couldn't have kept them at the beginning; the Yan Fu points he had at the time wouldn't have been enough to buy much anyway. It was better to liquidate them. At least these 3,000 plus Yan Fu points solved Li Yan's immediate financial emergency.

With these 3,000 plus points in hand, was he worried he couldn't buy the Weapon Coating rights?

Upon searching, Li Yan discovered that things were not as simple as he had thought.

“Weapon Coating 1/1” (Han Qi)

Price: 600 points.

Requirement: Fine materials or less

“Weapon Coating 3/3” (Ji Kang)

Price: 2888 points

Requirement: Rare materials or less

There wasn't a single offering that allowed for legendary-level Weapon Coating.

In the purchase records, the last successful transaction for a legendary-level Weapon Coating access was two years ago.

Putting the Weapon Coating plan on hold, Li Yan placed the Mud of Yazi into his Seal Space.

Come to think of it, this was the first time he had obtained a legendary level alien item; the last he saw had been in Fei's hands–the Shangxiao Tongbao Purple Gold Nine Divine Flame Talisman. When it came to legendary level alien items, Li Yan was quite envious.

Just when Li Yan thought it would be a case of false celebration, a pleasing female voice suddenly resonated by his ear.

“You have gained one additional purchase right. (Note: Apologies once again, we hope the lords will forget this unpleasant experience.)”

The compensation mentioned by the Jie Master had arrived.

In the vast catalog, there were only three items, yet they made Li Yan's feelings incredibly complex.

[Patriarch Lv's Notes]

Yan Fu Talisman

Allows for one additional Yan Fu event to be opened.

Price: One Yan Fu point

It can also be chosen to be sacrificed before the Yan Fu event; after sacrificing, there will be a substantial increase in the rank of the incarnated identity during the next Yan Fu event and a great increase in the probability of triggering an additional Yan Fu event.

[Summoning Gold Medallion]

Immediately concludes the current Yan Fu event, the evaluation being “Below Auspicious,” and the purchase rights quota is 130%.

Price: One Yan Fu point

[Bracers (Nameable)]

Maker: Zhan Yuejin (Jie Master)

Quality: Special

Category: Armor

Attribute: [Meng Ben] (Increases the bearer's wrist strength by 300 catties)

[Yang Youji] (Enhances the bearer's shooting accuracy by 50%)

[Yao Li] (Increases the bearer's reaction speed by 80%)

The above attributes are only effective for those below the rank of Five Directions Elder.

Price: One Yan Fu point

“Please name the bracers.”

“…Beyond Mountains.”

Just like the gift from the Wild God, it was basically a giveaway, and each item struck straight to the heart, beyond reproach. However, Li Yan's face didn't show much joy.

In the end, four people survived emerging from that fruit, which meant the Jie Master had prepared four sets of such items. The powerful attributes of the [Bracers] were the strongest Li Yan had seen in weapons and armor, but they hadn't even been named, indicating that the Jie Master had the capability to mass-produce them!

Such a foundation not only symbolized the personal strength and status of the Jie Master but also represented the resources he commanded, far exceeding Li Yan's imagination.

The gap between himself and those high-ranked figures was even bigger than he had imagined.

“You've received one conversation, transferring the call…”

It's Cha Xiaodao.

“Did you get the items from the Jie Master?”

A voice came from the other end.

“Got them.”

There was a click on the other end; Cha Xiaodao was smoking.

“Click, son of a bitch…”

He cursed impulsively.

Li Yan of course understood Cha Xiaodao's disheartened mood and didn't jump in but instead spoke up, “If we're dealing with an event together next time, we need to make a new pact now. Right now, for three consecutive Yan Fu incidents as comrades.”

After making a pact with Cha Xiaodao, Li Yan was left with just under four thousand Yan Fu points.

“Have you collected enough for your Kui of the Chief Celestial?”

Cha Xiaodao was taken aback, not expecting Li Yan to bring this up.

“Still short by one thousand.”

“I came into some unexpected fortune. I'll lend it to you, you can return it after the next incident.”

“Thanks.”

After Li Yan transferred the points, it didn't take long for Cha Xiaodao to send two pieces of information.

One was an official Yan Fu IOU.

One was Cha Xiaodao's personal information.

Specialization: Culinary Skill 82%, Free Combat 67%, Wilderness Survival 40%

Status: Culinary Skill

Inheritance: Gluttonous Heart – Culinary Skill, Kui of the Chief Celestial – Swallowing Text.

Skill: [A Fleeting Glimpse][Divine Bone] (Blocks a fatal attack once and instantly heals external wounds. Can be used once per Yan Fu incident)

Please note: all descriptions of blocking fatal attacks in Yan Fu have limitations. If a single instance of damage exceeds the threshold, the figure will still die.

Inherited Skill: [Culinary Skill] (Transform culinary arts into combat strength)

[Food Banquet] (Prepare dishes with special effects, using precious ingredients, not only to create better dishes but also to understand more powerful culinary skills.)

There were also some of Cha Xiaodao's notes, mainly about the food banquets he could currently prepare.

[Crispy Blast]: Omitted

[Large Pot Treasure Meat]: Consumption time one minute, serves a hundred people at the same time. After consumption, the highest item of specialization is enhanced by 15%, and the diner's courage is increased. Lasts for one hour. Only valid below Ten Cities.

[Buddha Jumps Over the Wall]: After consumption, enhances Yan Fu figure's Awakening Degree by 5%, requires precious ingredients. Effective for figures with an inheritance Awakening Degree below 65%.

Li Yan smiled and sent his information over as well.

Many things were missing from the shared information of Yan Fu, such as Li Yan's Ring Dragon Sword, Tiger Head Great Spear, Carved Snow Bracelet, and newly-acquired Beyond Mountains Bracers.

For example, some comprehended skills and the details of the inheritance skills.

Comprehended skills, like Li Yan's Swallow Through the Curtain, Tiger Rises.

Details of inheritance skills included Cha Xiaodao's own notes, as well as his silent moves like the Kong Family's cuisine, Cradling Carp.

However, for two figures who hadn't known each other for long to exchange their skills, it already represented a considerable level of trust. After all, as the strength of Yan Fu figures increased, the information provided by A Fleeting Glimpse became more about status, with less and less about specialization.
