Chapter 4 Magic Array Upgrade
Li Yuan returned to the car, slammed the door shut, let out a long sigh, and slumped into the chair.
What kind of place is this?! It's trying to kill people right from the start!
There are more than just the Injury Gate and Death Gate!
Damn, if you're not cheating, you're bound to fail!
Li Yuan complained for a while after surviving the ordeal, then he glanced at the Bagua formation and found that the direction was still stuck on Gen (艮).
This Bagua formation is completely useless.
The Bagua formation displays the level of strange danger in the vicinity in real time, but Li Yuan wasn't in the carriage, so even if the Bagua formation turned, he wouldn't know.
After a while, the vehicle started up again and drove on the road.
After calming down for a while, Li Yuan took out the spirit stone from the treasure chest.
This should be the most important resource we obtained today. Although the day is not over yet, the treasure chests we find later should not contain more resources than spirit stones.
One black dog blood or similar exorcism item is enough; there's no need to bring in a hundred.
The Five Emperors Coins plus the one obtained from the treasure chest make a total of 101 coins, which is 7 coins short of the required 108 coins for the Golden Coin Sword.
Making 100 copies of 7 is really brain-dead.
The remaining seven were traded from other survivors; since everyone had one, someone would always be willing to trade.
Li Yuan amplified the spirit stones a hundredfold, and a bunch of spirit stones immediately popped out with a crackling sound.
Li Yuan had already taken out everything else from the treasure chest, and the replicated spirit stones quickly filled the chest, with a lot overflowing and falling onto his seat.
Li Yuan placed ten spirit stones on the magic circle, then opened the magic circle interface on the display screen and clicked "upgrade".
The magic circle emitted a blinding yellow light, and the next second it began to slowly rotate, as if it were not engraved on the car. Then the strange runes moved, swimming like tadpoles on the inner wall of the car. The magic circle gradually expanded until it appeared on the car door before slowly stopping.
At the same time, the vehicle also changed.
The old car has been transformed into a brand new one, the seats seem softer, and the space is even slightly larger.
Li Yuan stared at all of this with shock and curiosity, his eyes filled with the same eagerness to explore as if he were watching a movie for the first time.
That's amazing!
Li Yuan looked at the information displayed on the magic array.
Swift Movement Illusionary Array!
Drive objects swiftly, concealing oneself within illusions.
Upgrade requires 30 spirit stones.
It seems that it only enhanced the system without gaining any other effects.
Li Yuan noticed that the car speed had increased to 80 km/h.
The faster you go, the shorter the time it takes to reach the next treasure chest, and if nothing unexpected happens, you'll get more resources.
Only when 80% of the survivors reach a certain level will they be allowed to venture into more challenging areas.
Therefore, the more treasure chests you get in the early stages, the more stable you will be in the later stages.
Should we continue upgrading?
There are 90 spirit stones left, more than enough for upgrading, and currently, apart from upgrading the magic array, we don't know what other uses spirit stones have.
Cultivation was just his guess; even if it were true, he didn't know how to cultivate.
And there are still 60 more after the upgrade.
Even if spirit stones are extremely important and need to be saved up, you won't lack them thanks to your own abilities.
After thinking it over, Li Yuan chose to upgrade again.
This time, the interior of the vehicle was filled with a massive illusion array, and there was also a large imperial edict on the roof.
I can clearly feel the increase in my sense of security, as if I were in an incredibly sturdy iron shell.
The interior space has been expanded, turning a four-seater into a six-seater. There isn't an extra row in the back, but the rear seats have become larger enough to be used as a bed.
Li Yuan discovered that the name of the magic array had changed.
The Illusory Golden Element Formation: swift as the wind, stealthy and unpredictable, as solid as a rock.
Simply put, it's faster, more stealthy, and also has defensive capabilities.
Upgrade requires 100 spirit stones.
I still have 60 spirit stones, not enough for another upgrade.
The Illusionary Golden Element Array should be sufficient; the others probably haven't upgraded it even once.
In addition to this, Li Yuan was pleasantly surprised to find that the vehicle had gained a new feature: an illustrated guide.
Any strange information about the items you come into contact with will be displayed in the encyclopedia.
The term "hanging ghost" refers to the ghost of someone who committed suicide by hanging. These people usually suffered great pain or injustice in their lives, so their spirits linger after death and their souls remain attached to the rope that caused their death.
The hanged ghosts endure the agony of death every day until they find a substitute so they can be reincarnated.
Li Yuan frowned.
But in the dark forest, there was a group of hanged ghosts. Did they commit mass suicide by hanging?
Why?
One or two is understandable, but a group of people...
Killed? Cult?
Li Yuan shook his head, unable to understand what could possibly drive a group of people to hang themselves. This world must be crazy.
However, it's also possible that it's just a game setting.
The Hanging Rope: It carries the soul of the hanged person and is part of the Hanging Ghost. It can be silently looped around the neck of a living person without being noticed!
It's a very strange ability; perhaps it's the real power, rather than the useless corpse hanging below?
Wow, that's pretty awesome!
If it goes unnoticed, it can be quietly put around the neck.
For those who are unclear, it's a perfect solution.
Li Yuan then asked why there was suddenly a rope around his neck.
The bizarre can be categorized as: ghostly, corpse, demon, monster, Buddha, and immortal.
Are they Buddhist monsters or immortal monsters? If they both become Buddhas or immortals, why are they still considered monsters? Are they essentially the same, or do they just have the outward appearance of Buddhas or immortals?
Ghosts and spirits: commonly known as spirits or ghosts, eerie beings that exist as spiritual entities, the souls of living beings that remain in the human world for some reason after death.
The ghost is not bound by the laws of physics, but it cannot touch objects either.
The ghost contains yin energy, which is a type of energy. The more powerful the ghost, the more yin energy it contains.
Only by using yin energy can one touch objects.
However, the reason why the ghost can touch living things is the conjecture proposed by Dr. xxx09: the ghost can touch living people because the soul and the body are closely connected, that is to say, the ghost touches the soul, not the body.
However, only death and special secret methods can separate the soul from the body, creating the illusion that the ghost can touch the human body.
Just like how you can still be lifted up by pulling on your clothes.
Similarly, living people can also touch ghosts, but the souls of living people are weaker than ghosts and ghosts are not subject to physical limitations, so they are immune to physical attacks.
If a living person attacks a ghost with their own body, only the living person will be injured.
The eerie creature has no fatal parts.
Hiss~ It has no fatal parts, is immune to physical attacks, and is not bound by the laws of physics. This eerie creature is very difficult to deal with!
If you don't have any exorcism tools, you're completely helpless.
Luckily, I had one!
Li Yuan looked at the money sword, the five emperor coins, the cinnabar, and the black dog blood beside him and felt relieved.
Ghostly Levels: Lesser Ghostly, Greater Ghostly, Resentful Ghostly, Fierce Ghostly, Malevolent Ghostly, Ghostly King, Ghostly Emperor, Ghostly God.
Mysterious Land: A place shrouded in mystery and danger, filled with yin energy. It is not recommended for living people to enter, and places with extremely fierce or mysterious elements are forbidden to the living!
Spirit Stone: A crystal formed over thousands of years by the spiritual essence of nature, containing pure spiritual energy.
Reiki is a type of energy that can be absorbed by the human body through special methods.
It really is possible to cultivate!
Li Yuan was pleasantly surprised.
Money Sword: A weapon used by Taoist priests to subdue evil spirits, and can also be hung in front of the door to ward off evil. It is handmade using copper coins and red thread.
Five Emperor Coins: refers to ancient coins minted and circulated during the reigns of five emperors, also known as imperial coins.
Copper coins often bear auspicious inscriptions, believed to bring blessings. They are also believed to ward off evil spirits, protect the home, and bring wealth. Furthermore, they are said to enhance the owner's confidence and alleviate feelings of helplessness. Cinnabar, a pure yang substance, is believed to have the power to exorcise evil spirits and suppress negative influences.
It can be used in rituals such as drawing talismans, consecrating, and alchemy, and is believed to absorb positive energy from heaven and earth while resisting negative energy. (However, it does not actually have the ability to exorcise evil spirits.)
Black dog blood: Dogs correspond to "戌土" (Xu Earth) in the twelve Earthly Branches, which is Yang Earth, and black dogs have the purest innate Yang energy. Yang overcomes Yin.
Li Yuan watched with great interest. He had never believed in such things before, even when he was doing outsourcing work for temples, but now he had no choice but to believe.
After all, he almost got hanged.
That's all the information shown in the encyclopedia.
Li Yuan saw that the car was traveling at 100 km/h.
Self-driving cars are really great; they free up your hands to do other things.
