Chen Mo's cultivation level had advanced to a Two-Star Dou Master, and his Luck Points had directly increased to 2040, a full 2000-point jump.
This time, the system finally showed some mercy.
With so many Luck Points, what should he do with them?
He opened the system's store to take a look. High-tier Cultivation Methods and Dou Skills were all out of Chen Mo's reach, and as for the low-tier ones, they could no longer satisfy his current needs.
The only option left was the Treasure Chest Lottery.
He decided to start with a Silver Treasure Box to test the waters.
With a whooshing sound, his 2040 Luck Points dropped to 1940.
Immediately after, a Silver Treasure Box descended from the sky, accompanied by cheerful music, and the lid of the box opened.
Four glittering words appeared:
"Thank you for your support."
What the hell.
He tried again.
"Second-grade Elixir: Desire Pill."
Hmm, judging by the name, it didn't seem like a proper elixir.
He tried once more.
"Thank you for your support."
"Third-grade Elixir: Advancement Pill. Only effective for Dou Masters. After consumption, it can increase one star in level. Each person can only consume one; a second pill will have no effect."
This one wasn't bad. He continued.
"Thank you for your support."
"Thank you for your support."
"Thank you for your support."
After five consecutive "Thank you for your support," his Luck Points had dwindled to 1140.
Chen Mo felt like vomiting blood.
The drop rate was just too low.
"One more try. If it's still 'Thank you for your support,' I'll stop," Chen Mo muttered to himself.
"Sixth-grade Elixir: Wood Source Pill. After consumption, there is a certain chance for the user to gain the Wood attribute."
"Finally, a drop! It seems my luck isn't too bad after all," Chen Mo thought, feeling that his fortune had finally turned. He decided to go all in.
He spent 1000 Luck Points to open a Golden Treasure Box.
Another whooshing sound, and the music played again. However, the opening music for the Golden Treasure Box was far more majestic than the Silver one, and the opening effects were also more advanced.
If the Silver Treasure Box's opening effects were worth 50 cents, the Golden one was worth a full dollar.
As the golden light flashed, a radiant golden card appeared before Chen Mo's eyes.
"Dou Ancestor Experience Card. After use, the user can temporarily gain the strength of a Dou Ancestor. Duration: Half an hour."
"Haha, I knew my luck was turning. This round, I'm not losing," Chen Mo thought gleefully as he exited the system.
...
"You're saying Medusa has a Strange Fire?"
"Indeed. Four months ago, I sensed the aura of a Strange Fire in the desert. I followed it and found a few blood-stained, multicolored snake scales," Gu He said softly. "It's likely that Medusa was injured while retrieving the Strange Fire."
"From what I understand, if Queen Medusa reaches the peak of the Dou Emperor level and has sufficient opportunity, she can undergo a peculiar evolution to advance to the Dou Ancestor level. And the essential item for this evolution is the Strange Fire."
"I think the Strange Fire is so important to Medusa that she won't be willing to exchange it easily," Yun Yun said calmly, her words subtly hinting that Gu He should drop the idea.
Gu He's body trembled slightly, and he understood Yun Yun's implication. However, the importance of the Strange Fire to him made him unwilling to give up so easily. He replied, "For this trip, I've prepared two sixth-grade Dou Spirit Pills and one seventh-grade Transformation Pill."
"A seventh-grade Transformation Pill?" Yun Yun was surprised. Since when could Gu He refine seventh-grade elixirs?
Gu He coughed lightly. Of course, he wouldn't admit that the seventh-grade Transformation Pill was just a bargaining chip to lure her. Instead, he said, "I obtained it from an ancient ruin."
"Even so, the probability of an exchange is extremely low, not to mention, relying on me alone..."
"You don't need to worry about that. I've also invited a few friends, Yan Shi and Feng Li."
"In that case, when shall we set off?" After all, Yun Yun owed Gu He a favor, so it was hard for her to refuse.
"Once they arrive and we make proper preparations, we can go."
"Alright, notify me when it's time."
...
Yunlan Sect
Scripture Depository.
"This name is too common. Out of ten fantasy novels, nine have a place in the sect called Scripture Depository for collecting Cultivation Methods," Chen Mo complained.
The Scripture Depository had seven floors and had collected countless Cultivation Methods, Dou Skills, and Movement Techniques with comprehensive attributes since the establishment of Yunlan Sect.
The first four floors were open to all disciples of Yunlan Sect.
Only disciples who had reached the level of Dou Master were qualified to enter the floors above the fourth.
Chen Mo's name had become well-known throughout Yunlan Sect in the past two days.
Therefore, when Chen Mo arrived above the fourth floor, he only needed to submit his identity jade token to the manager. After confirming it was correct, he was allowed to enter the fifth floor without checking his cultivation level.
On the fifth floor, there were not many disciples, only a few people were looking down and searching for the Cultivation Art Dou Skills they needed.
When they saw Chen Mo, they showed slight surprise, and then a few familiar ones gathered together, whispering.
Chen Mo vaguely heard them describing the battle scene of how he defeated Nalan Yanran yesterday.
He shook his head, chuckled lightly, and then started looking for the Movement Technique Dou Skill he needed.
The shelves were arranged according to attributes, displaying different types of Cultivation Methods.
Dou Skills were not classified, seemingly without attribute restrictions, but practicing Dou Skills of the same attribute was obviously easier and faster.
Chen Mo came to the shelves of fire and thunder attributes, casually flipped through a few books, and found that they were all Profound Rank Low Level Cultivation Art Dou Skills, so he headed to the sixth floor.
"As expected of someone who can defeat Senior Sister Nalan, he doesn't even care about Profound Rank Low Level."
"You don't know, in less than a day, the books about his deeds have been selling like hotcakes."
"Books? Lend me one to read..."
On the sixth floor, there were even fewer disciples than on the fifth, only two people, a man and a woman, who looked much older than Chen Mo from their appearance.
Their looks were also quite ordinary.
Chen Mo's face was very recognizable, and he was quickly recognized by the two.
"Junior Brother Chen Mo, hello, I'm Liu Zilong."
"I'm Liu Xuanyue."
"Hello, hello," Chen Mo responded politely.
They were siblings, both at the level of Dou Grand Master, and were old disciples of the Inner Sanctum.
"Junior Brother is here to pick a Movement Technique Dou Skill, right?" the elder brother Liu Zilong said.
Chen Mo nodded, there was nothing to hide about this. After yesterday's competition, everyone must know about these two weaknesses.
Hearing this, the siblings were delighted. As old disciples about to graduate without any backing, they were worried about how to curry favor with Chen Mo, and now the opportunity had come.
"Junior Brother has been in the sect for a short time, so you probably don't know which Dou Skills are stronger in the sect. How about I introduce them to you?" Liu Zilong's attitude was very humble, even though his cultivation level was higher than Chen Mo's, his talent was far behind.
Now at twenty-seven, he was only a one-star Dou Grand Master.
"Alright," Chen Mo thought, since a willing follower was being offered, he might as well take him.
"The strongest Movement Technique Dou Skill within the sect is the Mystic Grade Mid Level 'Body Like a Swimming Dragon,' which is also of the Thunder attribute, making it a perfect match for you, junior brother. Next is 'Windblown Catkins,' which Nalan is currently cultivating."
"Then there's the Mystic Grade Mid Level 'Burst Step,' and the Mystic Grade Low Level 'Treading on Snow Without a Trace.'"
"In terms of attack Dou Skills, the strongest is the 'Pinnacle of Wind' series cultivated by the sect leader and Nalan. Following that is the Mystic Grade Mid Level 'Thousand Thunder Incantation,' also a Thunder attribute Dou Skill."
