Beginning with the Ubume Bird-Chapter 569 - 1 The Great Earthquake
Your harvest from this Yan Fu event is as follows:
Personal category:
None.
Item category:
[Ascender (Renamable)]: An odd life form created by combining the blueprint and primal force of a fierce soul, steam technology, and the craft of super-ancient natural creation. Forged under the combined effects of the unique item [Yan Fu Great Medicine] and [Boxun’s Soul Awakening Bottle], it straddles the line between item and summoned creature.
[Yan Fu Great Medicine]: Can act as either one of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits of a living being.
Note: If it weren’t for the effects of [Yan Fu Great Medicine], did you really think that the naive idea of pouring a soul into a mechanical creation could be realized? Lucky bastard!
Li Yan couldn’t help but laugh as well; it was originally his wild idea. If it had not worked, the Soul Awakening Bottle would not have reacted, and Li Yan would have suffered no loss. Who knew it would lead to the creation of an aberration like the Ascender.
Three, Hidden Treasure category
This refresh’s Mage Tool is: Golden Steed Iron Horse.
Golden Steed Iron Horse: Allows for unrestricted travel through all publicly known Yan Fu Fruits, with 10 out of 10 uses remaining.
Costs 10 Yan Fu points.
The Golden Steed Iron Horse still holds significance for Li Yan.
Li Yan is already an Eight Extremes Walker and has his own private Earth Endurance, granting him access almost on par with the average Proxy Traveler. He can query a summary of most fruit contents, allowing him to target certain fruits he wishes to visit.
For example, Li Yan has some Mud of Yazi, which requires a craftsman with a high level of weapon forging skills to utilize. Previously, Li Yan could only hope for the best among the few options provided by Yan Fu, but now with the Golden Steed Iron Horse, forging the Gold-engraved Tiger Head Spear would be much easier for him.
Similarly, if Li Yan urgently needed medicine or items for repairing his soul, he could also use the [Golden Steed Iron Horse] to target relevant fruits.
Speaking of which...
Suddenly recalling something, Li Yan swiped through the information displayed before his eyes. He would rename every fruit as a form of remembrance; for instance, he named this fruit Dorol... erm, Chang Yu.
Li Yan’s evaluation in this Yan Fu event was highly auspicious, granting him the opportunity to return to Chang Yu (Feather Stem-Bingzi 128).
However, when Li Yan initially completed a Yan Fu event while being unwell, he didn’t receive such a favorable evaluation and missed the chance to return to that particular fruit.
The fruit he named "Judy."
Sorting out his mixed emotions, Li Yan opened this event’s purchase permissions, and sure enough, most of the content available for purchase involved steam creations. What surprised Li Yan was that the prices of these creations were outrageously high!
An old, agricultural seeding cart actually cost a whopping 20,000 points, and as for Enfield’s various new-style individual weapons, their prices fluctuated between 20,000 and 25,000 points.
All these steam creations shared a conspicuous note: "This level of steam technology is insignificant amidst the vast array of Yan Fu Fruits, yet they possess the terrifying magic power to infect a world."
Naturally, Li Yan, who had learned the true nature of the black-robed emperor, understood that Yan Fu was referring to the Tri-Orb Device, or rather, the Ambota Volcano Bacteria.
Li Yan wasn’t wealthy, and having acquired the Ascender, he wasn’t planning to waste this money either.
Remaining on the list were various assorted ritual implements, religious books, and equipment of fluctuating quality, including some rare attribute goodies, which Li Yan put up for auction without exception.
Additionally, this round of purchase permissions also included a large number of mechanical operation and maintenance essences, firearm skill essences, and so on, none of which impressed Li Yan, with the exception of...
[Fourth-level Magic Tech Essence: Mechanical Riot!]
A special craft learned by Chang Yu from the Book of Creation.
Note: Unlike ordinary specializations, advanced specialties like Magic Motion Technology are not divided into simple percentages, and the level of specialization cannot be increased simply by purchasing essences.
However, when levels are similar, it is possible to learn new crafts.
If Magic Motion Technology specialization is above 90%, this craft can be learned, and with sufficient raw materials, a large number of offensive machines can be produced.
This craft belongs to the essence category and does not occupy a skill slot.
Price: 2,000 Yan Fu points.
Li Yan’s Magic Motion Technology is only at 60%, three major thresholds away from learning Mechanical Riot. Moreover, Li Yan doesn’t intend to invest the effort into Magic Motion Technology. On the one hand, he knows his limits. To reach a 90% level in any specialization requires both talent and perseverance, and Li Yan probably doesn’t have what it takes. On the other hand, although Li Yan’s Ancient Martial Arts have reached a 100% level, he still hopes to progress even further, with Qilian Mountain Person as his role model; naturally, he cannot focus on pondering Magic Motion Technology.
But this specialization was still worth acquiring, and Li Yan was not pleased to just discount it and put it up for auction.
Following that, the Abyssal Mouth exploration reward!
The exploration of the Abyssal Mouth was a public recruitment initiated by the Feather Lord. Each time the depth of descent set a new record, the record breaker would receive a reward. The magnitude of the reward depended on the level of depth achieved. Earth Endurance had already documented all of your encounters in the Abyssal Mouth, and your final exploration depth was: ???
You received the following rewards:
A promise from the Feather Lord: You could propose one condition to the Feather Lord and Tri-Eye Technology that does not defy common sense.
Alternatively, you could choose to directly become a consultant for Tri-Eye Technology, enjoying the treatment of a core member of a Tri-Eye Technology branch.
Some benefits for core members of the consultant department include: an annual reimbursement limit of 60,000 Yan Fu points, free rental of legendary items (up to three), borrowing of certain internal publications from the Ten Masters, and beyond that, Tri-Eye Technology will do everything in its power to complete the related Yan Fu trials for all core members of its branches.
The responsibilities of consultant core members: At the Yan Zhao Club, they must endeavor to safeguard the interests of Tri-Eye Technology. Once officially directed by the board, core members are obliged to cast a favorable vote for Tri-Eye Technology, while consultant department members may opt for abstention.
Li Yan scrolled past this item and realized that he had reached the end.
The settlement this time was much more straightforward than usual.
Li Yan then purchased a Yan Fu Story Jar,
Seeing the fruit reward was more for amusement. To get proper equipment, one still needed to open jars.
The [Jack Chen’s Blue Wool Sweater] from last time had been the result of a stroke of exceptional luck, but during the fierce fight with Cha Xiaodao, the sweater was still destroyed.
As the jar shattered, a dazzling flash of golden light burst forth from Li Yan’s hand.
It was a beautifully mounted piece of rice paper, with bold and elegant handwriting that bespoke a master’s touch.
[Dowager She’s Bridal Gift List]
Quality: Ordinary
A bridal gift list written by Dowager She of Tianbo Mansion before her daughter’s wedding, addressed to Emperor Renzong, declaring no dowry necessary and no entourage should enter their home.
The handwriting was penned by the prime minister Wen Yanbo and was invaluable.
Note: One tael of stars, two taels of moon, three taels of wind, four taels of cloud, five taels of flame, six taels of air, seven taels of black smoke, and eight notes of Qin music.
Dragon whiskers burnt by fire cost you three taels and six, coarse bull hair takes three strands, eggs laid by a rooster, eight in number, two pounds of snowflake to be dried in the sun.
"Sigh..."
Li Yan casually stored the piece of calligraphy into his personal seal, then remembered Cha Xiaodao.
Li Yan had been forced to break Cha Xiaodao’s spine, and he himself had also been seriously injured. It wasn’t until he returned to Yan Fu that he recovered. Since Cha Xiaodao had returned ahead of him, Li Yan was checking his rewards in his own room rather than that vast hall lined with black pillars.
As Li Yan walked into the hall, wanting to contact Cha Xiaodao, he was suddenly overwhelmed by an inexplicable sadness and palpitation. Although Li Yan quickly recovered, the lingering sensation of that heartache persisted.
It felt as though a piece of the sky above had collapsed...
Li Yan walked out of the hall and was taken aback.
Everywhere, Yan Fu Walkers were hurrying to and fro. The hall was too vast, and Li Yan had hardly encountered other Yan Fu Walkers since he’d arrived in Yan Fu, but now it resembled a busy market, with all the Yan Fu Walkers entering and exiting between the black pillars, some with gloomy faces, others cursing loudly, and still more with red eyes and gritted teeth.
Cha Xiaodao was standing in front of a black pillar, also with a troubled expression.
Li Yan chuckled and went over to tease Cha Xiaodao but was taken by surprise when Cha Xiaodao spoke first, "Qin An is dead."
Li Yan was stunned, asking subconsciously, "Who is Qin An?"
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he recalled Qin An’s identity.
Standing Committee Member of Yan Zhao Club, with a veto vote. The Yan Fu Walker who had traveled through the most fruit worlds.
Some people admired and cherished him, while others were infuriated by his actions. His behavior was erratic, beyond conventional judgment. He once made public the private water mirror recordings of the Scale Lord, which turned out to be a collection of New Year’s Gala performances from over the years...
Lou Master, Qin An.
And now, he was gone.
