Low-grade Magic Item: Moonlight Mirror

Pfft!

Five Spirit Stones for a Sanguosha set?

You better be for real!

Yang Genshuo immediately contacted Youka's card production line, ready to squeeze them dry.

However, right now, scarcity was clearly driving up the price.

Yang Shi chuckled, not bothering to reply to the Rogue Cultivator. Twelve sets of cards weren't even enough to go around. Even decks with limited generals were being played with great flair, let alone the set he wanted, which had the most complete collection of generals.

In fact, with the methods these Rogue Cultivators possessed, replicating a set of Sanguosha cards wouldn't be difficult.

One Fetal Breath cultivator, who specialized in Gold element sorcery and was skilled in carving, had personally cut some wooden blocks and carved the card designs onto them. They could play with those too.

But the experience was terrible.

The wooden cards were too thick and not flat enough, making shuffling difficult. They couldn't replicate the vivid character art on the cards, and the most crucial part of board games – shuffling and dealing – was impossible.

Everyone preferred to queue up for the genuine article rather than play with his imitation.

At this moment, seeing someone wanting to buy cards, many others chimed in.

"I'll offer six Spirit Stones!"

"I'll offer seven!"

"Ten! Fellow Daoists, don't fight me for it. When the market opens in a few days, all my goods will be sold at 20% off the market price," said Situ Nan.

"I'll trade a Low-grade magic item for it! The Moonlight Mirror! I found this mirror in the Southern Spirit Lake. At night, it automatically absorbs Moonlight Spiritual Qi. Once full, it releases the stored energy, equivalent to a full-power strike from a Fetal Breath level 10 cultivator!"

Instantly, the surrounding Rogue Cultivators gasped.

Magic items were valuable things.

They could significantly increase a cultivator's strength, and no cultivator would ever complain about having too many magic items; they would only wish for one more.

"A magic item that can unleash the power of a Fetal Breath level 10 cultivator, why is it only Low-grade? Does it have some drawback? I suspect there's something fishy about its storage time?"

A steady and experienced Rogue Cultivator said.

The person offering the magic item blushed slightly: "It can be used once every six months, which isn't too long."

"Get lost! Ten Low-grade Spirit Stones at most, not a single coin more."

"I wouldn't take it even if you gave it to me for free. An attack that only happens twice a year? I might as well buy two talismans."

"And you want to trade for Sanguosha cards with this? Eat shit!"

"However, for low-level cultivators, it can be considered a life-saving measure." The old rogue cultivator fanned himself, his peripheral vision glancing at Jiang Xiaobai with implied meaning.

Some of the low-level rogue cultivators present, especially those below the Fetal Breath Stage 5, were slightly moved.

A protective charm that could be triggered once every six months was better than nothing.

Everyone looked at Yang Shi, wanting to see what the always amiable and polite tea house boss was thinking.

Yang Shi bowed to everyone without any hesitation.

"Yang Shi thanks all seniors for their kind consideration, but... there's still more than half a month until the market opens. Everyone is gathered at my Yang's Board Game Tea House to have fun. As the proprietor, how can I casually sell away everyone's happiness?"

"Please, seniors, do not mention selling cards again."

Yang Shi's sincere speech earned nods of approval from many rogue cultivators.

Murong Ziyan, who had been on the third floor, also nodded slightly.

"She understands the bigger picture and knows when to advance or retreat. This mortal is quite clear-headed."

At this moment, the waiter brought over a cup of milk tea.

"Customer, your Immortal's Grace Milk Tea is ready."

"Mm."

Murong Ziyan's face was serene. Her ethereal aura, befitting an immortal, combined with her stunning beauty, was a rare sight in the mortal world. The waiter felt that looking at her for another moment would shorten his lifespan. After placing the drink down, he quickly left.

After the waiter left, she glanced down. Her four foolish junior disciple brothers and sisters had perfectly blended in with the rogue cultivators, having a blast.

She opened her hand, and the milk tea cup was drawn to her.

Her red lips parted slightly as she took a sip. Instantly, her face bloomed like snow melting on a mountain, like plum blossoms opening, radiating a smile of satisfaction.

This was the reason she came here to sit every day.

Yang Shi had also always kept this room for her.

After the small interlude, everyone continued to play cards and have fun. Meanwhile, Yang Shi and Yang Genshuo had secretly started a conversation behind the tea house.

"We must get that Moonlight Mirror!"

"Shi also thinks so."

The two reached an agreement immediately. Perhaps for these rogue cultivators, an attack once every six months had a low cost-performance ratio and too many usage limitations, so the price wouldn't be very high.

But the old rogue cultivator was right; it was a good Trump Card for low-level cultivators.

Jiang Xiaobai was only at the second layer of Fetal Breath stage and didn't even have offensive spells. If a fight really broke out, he wouldn't be as effective as Huzi performing a set of Gale Blade Technique.

This Moonlight Mirror is just right for the Yang Family at the moment.

"A full-power strike from the Fetal Breath Stage 10, below an Innate Grandmaster, means death or serious injury."

With this mirror, facing someone like Zhao Kuangfeng again would give them an extra option to defeat the enemy in one blow.

"Think of a way. We'll acquire the mirror here at the teahouse these days, don't wait until the Rogue Cultivator Market."

With the experts from the Xuan Shi Sect stationed here now, it's a safe zone.

Yang Shi nodded, "Ancestor, I will do my best!"

In private, Yang Shi secretly contacted the rogue cultivator who was selling the mirror and asked how many Spirit Stones he intended to sell it for.

The rogue cultivator directly quoted 12 Spirit Stones, stating that he would sell it for the same price at the market.

This price was acceptable to both Yang Shi and Yang Genshuo.

Next, they needed to figure out how to get the Spirit Stones.

"Perhaps I should sell some Spirit Rice now that there are rogue cultivators here?"

"That's not wise. Wouldn't that be like telling so many people that I'm cultivating Spirit Fields, and that I'm weak, inviting them to rob me once the Xuan Shi Sect people leave!"

While Yang Genshuo was still contemplating, Yang Shi's lips curled into a smile, and he already had an idea.

"Ancestor, watch me perform!"

The next day.

When the teahouse was packed, Yang Shi took the storyteller's place.

"Esteemed seniors, you've all been playing these Sanguosha Cards for a week, and I'm sure you're familiar with the Generals and their unique Skills, with mechanisms that are ingenious."

"But besides these ordinary General Cards, there are also some cards that have never appeared before."

As soon as he said this, it instantly attracted the attention of most of the rogue cultivators, their lips curling up unconsciously.

"Then why hide new cards? Wouldn't it be better to bring them out and share them with everyone?"

Hearing others ask, Yang Shi shook his head:

"The senior who forged these cards once designed 12 unique cards. This set is the only one, incredibly precious, and I've kept it at home."

Everyone immediately understood: "Limited edition, good cards?"

"Precisely. These cards are called - Divine Generals!"

"Hiss~" The rogue cultivators gasped, awestruck by the grand name.

"Boss Yang, could you let us take a look?"

Yang Shi pulled out a golden card from his sleeve, its design exaggerated.

"This card is called: Divine Lu Bu!"

"It possesses five skills: [Rampage], [Reckless], [Unstoppable], [Divine Wrath], and [Peerless]!"

"Using this general card will make you invincible in the game!"

After Yang Shi showed it around, the old hands who had played Sanguosha couldn't help but exclaim repeatedly.

"With this card, I can fight two people alone without falling behind!"

"I'll directly rebel, who can stop me!"

"Boss Yang, could you lend me this card for a round?"

"I'll offer one Spirit Stone and take it right now!"

Hearing someone bid, the corner of Yang Shi's mouth twitched slightly.

"It's settled."
