"How was that matter done?" Zhang Fan took a sip of tea and asked slowly.

"It's a little trouble. The Taoist said that the Onmyoji's sealing technique was a bit tricky, and he wanted to study it." Akan took a shower, wore a nightgown, picked up a pineapple and put it in his mouth. The fruits in this land of preceptors are available in all seasons. "But I think he just wanted to study the Japanese alchemy techniques. There are no hurry anyway, let him play."

In a simple cottage in the back room of the pawn shop, the sloppy Taoist priest swept away the drunken eyes during the day, his eyes shining brightly, and carefully checked the sword in his hand. "Good, a bit standard. But it is not suitable for large-scale production. Although it is better than ordinary props, it is too costly and has not been popular enough."

The Taoist priest put down his sword and played with something like a few seeds. It was Zhang Fan and the others' "ghost vines". "He also knows wood-type spells. No, this is mistletoe! Druid, Western witchcraft!"

The Taoist priest cheered up and the three 'ghost vines in his hand grew rapidly. "Yes, this guy has a wide range of tours. He has also visited the West, met the Great Druid, and collected the 'holy fruit' of mistletoe. When he came back, he cultivated it with Eastern Wood Spells. Hehe, some methods, which were obviously the 'holy vines of the West, actually made him 'ghost vines'. Wouldn't the big druid who gave him the sacred fruit to death? It's because three little guys are cheaper, it's not easy to cultivate this thing. He took three shots and spent a lot of money!"

The Taoist priest's eyes flashed and he carefully analyzed the mistletoe in his hand. Suddenly, a shiny light flashed in his eyes, as if he had noticed something. A blue flame on his palm ignited out of thin air! But the "ghost vine" was not burned, but with a "crackling!", a small thing was ignited by the blue flame and turned into a little ashes. A wisp of blue smoke transformed into various ghost faces, but it was burned in the blue flame.

After the thing was burned, the "ghost vine" gradually changed from dark green to golden yellow.

"This guy actually cultivates mistletoe in this disgusting way!" There was a hint of anger in the Taoist eyes. "Fortunately they showed it to me, otherwise those three little guys wouldn't have been sucked into adults after a long time!"

"I'll go to the Taoist priest tomorrow. It's better for you two to change to a higher-level training room, the kind that can simulate various battlefield environments." Akan was lying on the sofa and eating various fruits leisurely. There was a woman taking care of her daily life. Life was different. "Although it was a little more expensive, the training effect was good. I heard that the advanced training room could simulate scenes, increase the difficulty and adjust the time! In this way, we can practice in practice."

"That Taoist priest likes you very much. Study hard with him. Your alchemy has improved and may be useful in the future!" Zhang Fan took care of Akan.

Aken smiled and changed the topic: "We now have our own three upgrade opportunities, and the three upgrade opportunities that the Taoist priest agreed to. What props do you think are good to upgrade?"

"Of course I have my own upgrade suit, is it the Taoist priest?" Zhang Fan thought for a while, and there were many props to upgrade, such as pocket watches, heavy weapons, consumables, etc.

However, some props have repetitive functions, especially after having a set, many auxiliary props are useless. The function of that pocket watch is even more special. Others have the function of the US military's "single-soldier combat system" function, and it is even stronger!

However, heavy weapons and various consumables are indeed useful, but I don’t know what effect will appear after upgrading.

"What do you think will be like after upgrading those supplies consumables?" Zhang Fan asked Akan.

"It's hard to say, it may be to increase the upper limit of physical strength and spiritual power. It may also be to improve the ability attributes."

Aken thought for a while and said, "If the merit value is enough, it is difficult to guarantee that it will become a magic pill for dark gold. After all, the merit value and the bonus point are equal, but the merit value cannot be purchased. There must be some redemption method here. That is, upgrade the props. However, the bonus point that requires tens of thousands of merit value to be exchanged is too expensive. When we do tasks, we will always have 100 merit value corresponding to a bonus point!"

"I think the bonus point is not very important. Although it can affect our real world abilities. But I always feel that this world is not training us like this to make our bodies strong. Look at how powerful that Taoist priest is! He must have mastered some advanced skills or other abilities." Zhang Fan thought. Such questions are always troublesome, but in this dangerous world, you have to think about it.

"It's better to upgrade the heavy weapon. Our body bonus is fast enough. There is no significant change in other skills and abilities, and there is still little experience. This may not be a good thing." Zhang Fan said.

Akan looked at Zhang Fan seriously and sighed, "Your analysis is the same as the Taoist said. I usually claim to be smart, but with long-term wisdom, I am not as good as you! Just listen to you."

"Don't underestimate yourself, we have our own strengths. I can't catch up with your knowledge and ability to remember and actuarially." Zhang Fan shook his head: "This world may be the four attributes of training our intelligence, understanding, endurance, and concentration. So those four attributes cannot be directly added, and each scene can always rise to one or two points. Maybe after the training of countless life and death tests, it will reach a certain value, and it may change any changes. Maybe that is our foundation!"

"If you say this, your fortune is higher, which is not a good thing?" Akan pondered.

Zhang Fan nodded: "Born in distress, die in happiness! People with good luck cannot be trained in their abilities. This is true in the real world, and this world of keepers should be the same."

"But it's better than dead!" Akan smiled: "Let's try to put some pressure on yourself. Try to discover high-difficulty hidden tasks in the scene, first, exercise yourself, second, add more bonus points and good props. Anyway, the upgrade is fast, so just make it faster!"

"I think the opposite of you. What do you and I lack?" Zhang Fan asked, and he replied: "We are not lacking in intelligence and insight, so it is not difficult to discover hidden tasks! But we lack tolerance and concentration, and when we encounter tasks that need to be persisted in, we are definitely not as good as Green Wings. I think in the future, we should let Green Wings think more about problems and think about the development of the scene, while we should be more tolerant."

Aken laughed and said, "Haha! Then you might as well let Green Wings and I commit suicide. Maybe you said it right, but it's too difficult for Green Wings and us! Let Green Wings think about the direction of the war, I, haha!"

Zhang Fan shook his head, feeling a little funny. But there was a little doubt and a little firmness in his eyes. Akan didn't see it. Zhang Fan stroked a short black iron rod in his hand. If he paid attention, he would find that it was the gray prop "black iron pestle" that needed to be ground.

"You actually made our 'ghost vine' look like this!" Aken roared at the Taoist priest. "You compensate me!"

"You are really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and you don't know the good people's hearts!" The Taoist priest explained amused and crying: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't know if you were sucked by this 'ghost vine'! That Onmyoji used the ghost power to control this mistletoe. As long as you use it once, you will be parasitized once, absorbing the essence of life from your body to nourish it. Fortunately, you have used it for a short time, and it has not had time to sprout and bloom, and then plant seeds in your body."

"Otherwise you will become hosts and be parasitized until the new 'ghosts' mature and emerge from your body! You hosts will die! When parasitizing, their rhizomes are connected to your bloodline, and there is no way to separate them. Your various abilities will gradually decrease until they return to zero."

Aken was trembling and palpitations when he heard it: "It's really...this is really happening!?"

"I have refined the ghost power he planted with Samadhi True Fire!" The Taoist continued: "Now it has been restored to the original mistletoe, it's a bargain. This mistletoe is collected by the Western Druid at a specific time from the mistletoe parasitized on the oak tree, through special rituals and special methods."

"Then the Onmyoji cultivated it with oriental wood spells and grafted and fused several good vine plants, but it was not yet mature and could not fully exert its abilities. The Onmyoji's wood spells are still good, but the cultivation method is too cruel and harmful to the sky!"

"Now, this mistletoe can no longer be parasitic and reproductive because it has lost its ghost power. But as long as it is placed on any tree plant, it can absorb the essence of the parasitic host on its own, recharge and grow and mature. In the land of the preceptor, it can also be planted on the ground to allow it to grow, but the effect is slower. Of course, you can also put it on yourself to consume spiritual power to feed it. Don't worry, it will no longer absorb the essence of your life. When it is not used, it will be harvested and released when it is used. It can attack, defend, and hide, which is very good!"

The golden grass vines in the Taoist hand harvested three golden seeds and handed them over, "If you drip your own blood, you can automatically drive it by your heart."

After Akan took it, he bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on a seed. After the golden seed absorbed the blood, a layer of blood patterns appeared, and then disappeared and returned to its original state. At this time, he looked at it again, and couldn't help but feel a joy in disguise.
