Chapter 308: Harvest Quite Bountiful

"Master, I'm going to cultivate," Ao Yulie said.

It's still better to cultivate on his own; cultivation made him happy, and cultivating by himself at least wouldn't hurt — if he let Master help him cultivate, that would be true agony.

"Go ahead," Tang Luo said. "Don't let anyone discover you; in the real world we must keep a low profile."

"Rest assured!" Ao Yulie gave a thumbs-up. Staying low-key and hidden, with no one able to see him — that was what he excelled at most.

Ao Yulie turned into a streak of light and departed.

He wouldn't cultivate in the city either; the dark deep sea and the high heavens were the places suited for his cultivation.

Ao Yulie had already cast a secret art; when needed, Tang Luo could summon him back at any time.

Of course, the distance couldn't be too great, and there was also the possibility of being in certain places cut off from "messages."

This mission — Tang Luo's original plan was to find a new body for Xiaotianquan or something; he never expected that, by a twist of fate, he would end up finding Little White Dragon.

The yaoguai encountered in Dayou — not a single one was suitable.

Mainly it was still because Tang Luo's requirements were rather high, and what he valued wasn't Xiaotianquan's strength to begin with; it was just an idea, with no need to rush.

Then let's take it slow; sooner or later a suitable one will be found.

In Journey to the West there were quite a few yaoguai who ran off with their masters; who knows, maybe another will be encountered later?

Walking to the sofa and sitting down, Tang Luo began tallying this mission's gains.

A final healing before leaving the mission world brought Tang Luo's uninjured peak strength to thirty percent.

The equipment and item gains need not be enumerated.

The key lay in the rewards after completing this mission — a full four items.

First, skills: Tang Luo obtained two brand-new skills, one being the Immobilization Spell.

Immobilization Spell

Recite the incantation to imprison the target, completely restricting their movements, freezing them in place.

Level 1: Can immobilize a single target for ten seconds.

Level 2: Can immobilize a single target for twenty seconds.

Level 3: Can immobilize two targets for thirty seconds.

Note: Don't even think about doing anything after immobilizing them; even if you're fast enough, the time may be even shorter.

Cooldown: Level 1 one hour, Level 2 thirty minutes, Level 3 fifteen minutes.

This skill reminded Tang Luo of the "Ding" Sun Wukong often used; seemingly simple, it is actually a fairly complex divine ability.

Sun Wukong only used it to tease and deal with minor yaoguai; against a true opponent, it's not as decisive as smashing them with a staff.

Tang Luo was quite intrigued by this note; in the God-Demon Game, skill notes usually like to joke around.

In the process of joking, they also vaguely reveal some information.

This Immobilization Spell's note leaked one piece of information: the immobilization duration is not absolute.

It may vary due to the strength of the immobilized target, but it should be a "not good" variation — the times listed in the levels are the upper limits; if the immobilized target is strong enough, the immobilization time should decrease.

Tang Luo tested it on Xiaotianquan; Xiaotianquan broke free of the Immobilization Spell at the eighth second.

This counted as verifying his guess.

This skill appears to be a support skill with no killing power, but in actual combat its effect is greater.

Compared to immobilizing someone to do something, using this skill during combat is undoubtedly more suitable; the so-called incantation is just the single word "Ding," extremely simple.

As long as the target is in sight, opening one's mouth can activate the skill.

In combat, a hair's breadth decides victory or defeat; there's no need to immobilize for ten seconds — even one or two seconds of disruption is enough to change the entire battle situation.

The second skill Tang Luo obtained is likewise not an attack skill.

Blood Talisman (Flight)

Use one's own blood to craft talismans in the void; finished talismans can exist for seventy-two hours; different talismans can be stacked for use.

Level 1: Can craft one Flight Talisman at a time; after use one can ride the wind and fly.

Level 2: Can craft three Flight Talismans at a time; after use one can ride the wind and fly; "Talisman Power" increases.

Level 3: Can craft five Flight Talismans at a time; after use one can ride the wind and fly; "Talisman Power" increases greatly.

Note: Want to obtain all Blood Talismans? Then go search for them!

Cooldown: Level 1 seventy-two hours, Level 2 forty-eight hours, Level 3 twenty-four hours.

For Tang Luo himself, this skill counts as icing on the cake.

Short distances he can "hop" to in a few jumps; long distances Ao Yulie returns, and flying is more convenient, but it's not one hundred percent necessary.

The greater use is obviously not for himself, but for selling, exchanging for various healing items.

Thinking this way, Tang Luo discovered his Exorcism and Enlightenment Society had even more lines of business.

Originally the main focus was enlightenment and exorcism, two items.

After verification on A Fei, a major new project of "swapping Fate Fragments" would certainly be added.

Now "Flight Talisman sales" has been added as well.

Unlike selling equipment after obtaining it — which is hit or miss, like a salted-fish seller's behavior — these few things are all businesses that can be sustained long-term.

Besides the two rewarded skills, Tang Luo also obtained two equipment rewards.

The first piece of equipment, Tang Luo had seen in a certain sense.

This equipment is a spear, named Po Mo Han Bing!

Tang Luo remembered that Qin Menglan had a skill that could summon a projection of this spear for use.

He never expected this mission would directly reward this spear; Tang Luo originally thought this spear would be in some corner of a mission world.

Po Mo Han Bing

Carved from ten-thousand-year profound ice, a spear formed in one piece, emitting astonishing cold; it can freeze everything it pierces.

Skills:

One, Freeze: This spear constantly emits an astonishing chill, freezing all things.

Two, Demon-Breaking Strike: A point of cold light, the spear thrusts like a dragon, unleashing a powerful thrust that breaks through with a point, its power endless! Cooldown time, 5 hours.

Three, Recall: When the spear leaves the hand, it can be recalled at any time within a hundred-meter range of its owner.

Note: Freeze, Shatter!

After Tang Luo took out this Demon-Breaking Ice Spear, the room temperature instantly dropped by several degrees.

As the current owner of this spear, Tang Luo only felt a refreshing coolness, unaffected by the passive Freeze skill.

The spearhead and shaft are one piece, presenting a translucent ice-blue color.

Besides this, there is no extra decoration; the spear shaft is straight, about two meters long, and with Tang Luo's palm, the thickness fits perfectly in one grip.

The spearhead resembles a single-hook spearhead, triangular in shape, with the two lower corners protruding outward, sharp and pointed.

For this new weapon, Tang Luo is still quite satisfied.

He doesn't know spear techniques, and ancient Chinese spear techniques are not suitable for this hard spear whose shaft does not bend.

Rather than saying this spear is a spear, it would be more accurate to say it is a halberd.

Though it looks crystal clear and easy to see through, it is actually quite heavy, a typical heavy weapon.

Although Tang Luo doesn't know spear techniques, he has used Sun Wukong's staff, and Sun Wukong's golden hooped staff is also a similar heavy weapon.

Extremely hard, and it does not bend.

Sun Wukong's staff technique is completely different from ordinary staff techniques; in short, there are two kinds: one is smashing, the other is sweeping.

When Tang Luo used to wield the golden hooped staff, it was the same; now using this Demon-Breaking Ice Spear, he only adds one "thrust" motion, and he can pick it up quickly.

Anyway, there is only one core key—be fierce!

"Meow!"

The Heavenly Howling Dog barked once, not liking the current room temperature.

Tang Luo then put away this Demon-Breaking Ice Spear and took out another piece of equipment, which is a rather special "single-use equipment".

Unlike other equipment that can be used continuously, this can only be used once.

Heavenly Thunder Rolling (Single-use)

After being thrown out and impacting, it explodes, producing a terrifying thunder prison that lasts for one minute.

Probably because it is a single-use equipment, the introduction is very simple.

It is not an exaggeration to say it is a prop with relevant information.

Moreover, the name fully explains the feeling ordinary people have when seeing "name information".

The equipment's appearance is not conspicuous at all—a purple bead slightly larger than a walnut; if used at the right time and place, it should be able to cause considerable damage.

Tang Luo's rewards for this mission are these two new skills and two pieces of equipment.

Judging solely by the number of rewards, one mission equals four normal ones.

But judging by difficulty and time spent, the "special rewards" that make everyone eager have not brought much surprising delight.

At most, it makes Tang Luo feel, well, not bad, usable.

Of course, for other gods and demons walking the world, if they could obtain these rewards, it could be said they instantly "swapped a bird gun for a cannon", greatly enhancing their power.

As for Tang Luo, his greatest gain is naturally finding back the White Dragon Ao Yu Lie, plus the recovery of his injuries.

The vast majority of gods and demons walking the world still rely on mission completion rewards to grow stronger, at least mission rewards account for the bulk.

Now Tang Luo is increasingly looking forward to going to the mission world to see if he will encounter old acquaintances.

Even if, like Ao Yu Lie, there are no mission rewards, he will still continue.

Following convention, Tang Luo opened the chat tool and happily started selling the mission gains.

From Wu Yang's side, he obtained the substitute wooden figures; Tang Luo plans to sell five, and keep another five for himself.

They can be used when encountering situations where one is unable to divide oneself; due to the special nature of the substitute wooden figures, remote control can be completely achieved.

Additionally, Fu Fengxue's relic, the equipment knife, Tang Luo has also listed it for sale.

Other equipment will definitely be kept; the Gale Wind Bone Sword was given to Ao Yu Lie, who relatively prefers using swords.

The main reason is that it is handsome enough.

Unfortunately, the Gale Wind follows the ferocious and domineering path; holding it does not quite match Ao Yu Lie's image of a "white-clothed swordsman" in his heart.

But since the elder bestowed it and dare not refuse, since Tang Luo said to let him take it to use, how could Ao Yu Lie dare to refuse?

Moreover, although he says with his mouth "I don't cultivate anymore" and such, he clearly knows in his heart that staying by Tang Luo's side, he will inevitably encounter danger in the future.

No matter what, the most basic self-preservation power is still needed; having a sharp weapon in hand is definitely a good thing.

Now there are only him and Tang Luo, plus one Heavenly Howling Dog.

There will be no situation like "Master, eldest senior brother is not well, the third junior brother was captured by monsters!", "Master, eldest senior brother is not well, the second senior brother was captured by monsters!", "Ha, the master was captured by monsters!".

If real danger occurs, and the master is held back, Ao Yu Lie can only rely on himself (to flee).

After resting for two days, Tang Luo found An An and met her.

An An has already made up her mind, willing to fight to the death with that person of the Black Whirlwind fate, leaving life and death to heaven's decree.

Tang Luo contacted Kong Ming.

Kong Ming's feedback was also very fast; that person agreed to the life-and-death battle.

The Demon-Subduing and Evil-Eliminating Opening Light Society's new service item— the Fate-Changing Technique—is about to take the historical stage.
