Chapter 166 Good Luck Won't Always Favor You
The Shennong Beast explained, "This thing is similar to a 1:1 clone, and can fully utilize your own power. However, their existence is similar to a soul state, a manifestation of your life and soul. Ordinary people cannot see them, but they can still influence the material world..."
"Oh, right, note that they share your senses. In other words, if you have a strong self-healing ability, they do too! But if they suffer a fatal injury, you know what I mean! However, you can completely control them with your thoughts! Of course, there is a distance limit between them and you. The stronger your mental strength, the farther you can control them. If they go beyond the range, they will automatically disappear and return to your body."
"WTF! A Stand user?!" Li Muyang was stunned into silence by the clone summoned by the Shennong Beast!
Invisible to ordinary people, the clone becomes stronger as the main body grows stronger, shares senses, and has a limited distance for control!
What else could this be but a Stand user?!
The Shennong Beast looked at you as if you were a country bumpkin: "It's nothing more than the application of life force and soul force! Don't underestimate the power of life and soul! You bastards! I'm just helping you awaken this power; how to use it is up to you to develop it yourselves!"
Bai Yuxiu tested her clone and commented, "It feels like I have an extra part of my body, and I can use it as easily as I use my own limbs! Moreover, it seems to be more skilled at using its power than I am at using it myself!"
Feng Ling'er also tried it out, because this clone could levitate freely and even carry her flying! And the energy consumption was extremely low! Although the principle was similar to stepping on her right foot with her left...
Shennong Beast explained from the side, "I simply stimulated the potential within your bodies. It's not that they are stronger than you, but that you can now do the same."
"Besides providing you with a means, this clone can also improve the efficiency of your cultivation and comprehension. Through the perspective of this clone, you can see the world more clearly, which I believe will also help you in forming your core!"
Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er thanked them with great joy, for this was exactly what they needed!
Li Muyang stared longingly at the Shennong Beast... The Shennong Beast turned its head away in disgust, pretending not to see him.
"Hehehe... What a small-time farmer~"
"Ew~" Shennong Beast's expression twisted into extreme disgust; who knew he could make an expression comparable to a certain One Piece meme.
"Alright, alright, you're my contractor after all. Do you think you'd miss out on the abilities I've awakened? Can't you take a look for yourself?" Shennong Beast dodged Li Muyang's attempt to give him a bear hug and haughtily complained before turning to tend to its vegetable garden.
I, Shennong Beast, just love growing vegetables!
Upon receiving the reply, Li Muyang realized that he had a contract with the Shennong Beast, so of course he could use its abilities as well! After studying it intently for a while, a figure that looked exactly like his Golden Core True Body floated out.
"Well! I saw it with my own eyes, and it really is handsome~" Looking at the "stand-in" who looked just like the Golden Core true body, Li Muyang put his hands on his hips with a bit of pride.
There's no rush regarding cultivation for now. Let's go to the prize pool first and exchange our Origin Points for Origin Stones.
At this point, of course we have to ask Bai Yuxiu, who has amazing luck, to step in!
It's also because the small world currently only has Bai Yuxiu, Feng Ling'er, the two brothers Shi Tou, and Ganlu Temple Mitsuri. The three great demons are all busy with their own things, and they have no interest in the lottery at all.
As for the three disciples, let them stay put for now; none of them are particularly lucky.
Nan Ying and Nan Sheng have temporarily returned to the Fengling Yuxiu World. The Hundred Flowers Sect has some matters to attend to, as they are not entirely without any ties.
However, Bai Yuxiu was worried that she would have bad luck and not be able to draw anything good, so she made an agreement with Li Muyang that she would only draw the one with the minimum guarantee.
Yes, the lottery results are in!
Check the prize pool only after you've drawn all the prizes at once.
With 3 + 5 Origin Points, Li Muyang felt like he'd been through a lottery for the first time!
Aside from the miscellaneous items, there weren't many things worth looking at. Li Muyang's good luck had probably run out. He had only gotten this purple item in many ten-pulls, and even with Bai Yuxiu's help, he only got the gold item after almost all the pity pulls.
In the end, there were 50+ purple items and 5 gold items.
This time, the purple items mostly consisted of materials and props, with not many usable items, which disappointed all three of them. Sure enough, the newbie protection period was over, and good stuff wasn't so easy to get.
There are several Devil Fruits, but unfortunately none of them are very useful. For example, the Wheel-Wheel Fruit and the Revive-Revive Fruit. The rest are just ordinary Zoan-type fruits, and their names have never even appeared in the story. I'm really speechless!
At least the latter had an extra life, even if it likely had side effects, while Li Muyang couldn't figure out what the former was good for no matter how hard he tried!
It can only be said that although Devil Fruits seem powerful, their development scope is actually quite limited. One's imagination cannot be completely unrestrained, and the physical condition of the user is also one of the limiting conditions!
After mastering the Fruit of Surgery, Li Muyang is now experiencing difficulties in developing it. If he wants to continue developing it, he can only start by comprehending the laws himself. Otherwise, he will stagnate or the effects he develops will fall far short of his expectations.
There are also two Imperial Arms: Gaia Foundation and Yafusa.
Gaia foundation allows users to transform into anything they desire.
Hachifusa can manipulate the people killed by this sword through curses. He can control up to eight corpse puppets. The puppets look the same as when they were alive and can be manipulated freely. After the power is removed, they will turn into ordinary corpses.
It can be said to be useful, but its effect is not significant.
Anyway, Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er felt nauseous whenever they saw Bafang. They would think of the two freakish fat men from the Insect Valley mother and child that they had encountered in their own world!
Let's put them in the warehouse!
Li Muyang wasn't interested in the Eighth Chamber either, so he threw it directly into the system's recycle bin—converting it into Origin Stones! This was also a new privilege he had gained! He could have useless prizes or those he had obtained appraised and exchanged for Origin Stones through the system.
Besides these, there are many other useless things.
However, there are still a few valuable things.
For example, the Divine Axe Rita, the weapon of Escanor, the Sin of Pride in the anime "The Seven Deadly Sins," can absorb and store all the enormous energy emitted by Escanor and release it freely.
The problem is that this thing is nominally a one-handed axe, but it is really big and heavy. Even Li Muyang has some difficulty holding it, let alone Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er.
I guess it would be about the same for Ootengu, right? He'd probably find it inconvenient to handle.
Doraemon's fishing rod and pond: used to retrieve lost items.
Li Muyang successfully used this device to find the comic book he had lost years ago.
Doraemon's Indecisive Gauntlets: After use, they can make the fight a draw no matter who the opponent is. The drawback is that they are limited to strength and are useless against beings at the level of immortals or above.
There were various other things as well. Li Muyang looked at them and threw them all into the warehouse.
It's really not very useful for cultivation. There are only a few materials that might be suitable for forging some equipment. I'll upgrade Bai Yuxiu and the others' weapons and equipment when I have time.
Now for the main event! The gold reward!
Hans Dufenshus's wisdom and inventive talent (plus my own brainstorming).
Black and White Star Ring (contains eight elements, which can be temporarily fused together).
The Primordial Chaotic Body (from the novel "Covering the Sky," those who know, know).
Bodhi tree (a seedling with innate spiritual roots).
Thirteen Divine Keys (the complete set including their forging techniques).
Well, now Li Muyang feels like he's made a profit again.
Although they are all of gold quality, there is a big difference between them. The most valuable one is probably the innate spiritual root Bodhi tree, while the least valuable one is probably the thirteen divine keys from Honkai Impact 3.
Yes, even though it's a complete set of Divine Keys and it's very powerful, you might still have trouble using it correctly! Moreover, these things are only at the extraordinary level in normal circumstances. To unleash their full power, it all depends on the user's own abilities.
Although it was called a sapling, when Li Muyang actually took it out, he found that there were quite a few Bodhi seeds on it! Moreover, the moment the innate spiritual root appeared, it brought a sense of clarity to the two women watching and Li Muyang, as if they were one with heaven and earth!
Needless to say, suppressing his longing for the Bodhi seeds, Li Muyang gritted his teeth and handed the Bodhi tree over to the Shennong Beast. He was a professional when it came to planting things, and he had to trust the Shennong Beast's expertise!
Seeing the three of them looking so hungry, Feng Ling'er's mouth watered, but she and Bai Yuxiu held back. Shennong Beast's lips curled up slightly. It was truly remarkable that the three of them could still maintain their desire despite having innate spiritual roots, especially since they were still mortals!
He then picked three Bodhi seeds, one for each person, and said, "Take them. Don't worry, they won't affect the planting of Bodhi trees, but any more might have an impact."
"By the way, don't rush to take it yet. After I've planted the tree, you can take it under the tree for better results!"
The three obediently accepted the items and temporarily stored them in the Administration Bureau's system space for safekeeping.
Needless to say, the remaining rewards will definitely go to Li Muyang himself. He basically completed all the Demon Slayer missions by himself, and he was also the one who took the most dangerous risks.
The two women felt embarrassed to accept the reward since they hadn't contributed much. Last time, Li Muyang had given them all the prizes for free in the lottery. Besides, after reading the description, they felt that they weren't suited for these things.
Therefore, it is generally agreed that it is essential to make Li Muyang stronger first!
Li Muyang didn't dawdle and collected the remaining rewards one by one.
First, there's the Black and White Star Ring, from the world of Stealing Stars. Originally, it required plundering the Seventh Sense of the Eight Elements from other people to fill its energy. The user could then use the power of the Eight Elements and even ascend to godhood in one step!
According to the settings, only about 90% of the energy can be extracted. The remaining 10% of the energy may make it difficult for the original owner to maintain the seventh sense. But Li Muyang felt that the one in his hand probably had 100% of the energy!
