Chapter 22 Stepping Stone Test What does superposition mean? Take the double-winged tiger hair brush for example. Because the Double-Winged Tiger Hair Brush has two effects and is a relatively strong item, there is a prerequisite for equipping it, which is that you must master a great-level talisman. This is why Xiao Changqing has been practicing the Cleansing Talisman for nearly half a year. Even if outsiders gossip and laugh at him, he ignores them. As long as the Cleansing Talisman is perfected, he can equip a double-winged tiger-hair brush, then he can be promoted to a first-class talisman master instantly, and he will also have the bonus of talisman master talent! But now? With the overlay function. The gameplay changed instantly! Two items can be equipped at the same time. So if Xiao Changqing wants to equip the Double-Winged Tiger Hair Brush, he doesn't need to work hard to brush up the proficiency of the Cleansing Talisman. There is a simpler way. That is to find an item that has no restrictions on equipping but has a certain level of proficiency in talismans! "calm down."
Xiao Changqing took several deep breaths to calm himself down. Although you can equip two items at the same time, the effects of the two equipment can be superimposed on each other to achieve the effect of 1+1>2. But this means that the situation where we thought that there were three extra slots in the equipment bar were more than enough will have to change again. If you want to take a shortcut and directly equip the Double-Winged Tiger Hair Brush, it will be equivalent to directly occupying two equipment slots. Because the current equipment rules in the inventory are that items can be taken down, and the experience value of the item is still there after it is taken down, but it has no effect. However, the space in the equipment column will be locked, and no new equipment can be added. To put it simply, there is one hole for each carrot. After the carrot is dug out, the hole is still there, but the other radishes are of different sizes and cannot be filled in. Second. There is another question. That is to say, finding an item that has the effect of a certain talisman at the master level is not an easy task. Equipment is something you can only encounter by chance. "So, the current strategy is to continue practicing the Cleansing Talisman. At the same time, you can spend more energy to find items with talisman effects! "The equipment slot should be saved, and it needs to be saved." "Unless one day, the inventory function is updated again. After the equipment is removed, the space will be directly vacated and other new items can be equipped. That would be convenient..." then. After equipping the tortoise shell and acquiring the first-order great divination skill, Xiao Changqing did not equip a second item. Because the second item is a broken flying sword, the equipment effect is a minor achievement of the "Flying Sword Technique". Xiao Changqing really wants this effect. It can fly with the sword and also has the power to kill, killing two birds with one stone. But he doesn't even have a flying sword at the moment, so there's no point in mastering the flying sword technique.
…… …… On the third day after Xiao Changqing’s cultivation broke through the fourth level of Qi training, the Mu family’s foundation-building sixtieth birthday also arrived. Sixty years old, if placed in the ordinary world of this world, is considered an absolutely old age. Most people do not live to this age. Even the martial arts masters will decline in strength at this age and will be far less powerful than when they were at their peak. But for immortal cultivators, even if they are only at the Qi Refining Stage, they have a lifespan of 120 years, so 60 years old is not considered particularly old. However, if they have not established their foundation by the age of 60, then they have lost hope. But for a foundation-building cultivator with a lifespan of 180 years, 60 years old can be considered a prime age! This is also the reason why the Mu family is currently quite stable and no one in the Mu family is under too much pressure. As long as there are strong and mature foundation-building cultivators in the family, there will be no crisis in the family for the next hundred years. Unlike the Zhang family, another foundation-building family in Nanshanfang, it is rumored that the Zhang family's foundation-building ancestor has less than ten years left to live, and no new foundation-building ancestors have been born in the Zhang family. Then when the ancestor of the Zhang family passes away, the Zhang family will be in great trouble! If the situation is better, they can sell off most of their assets and reduce their holdings to other foundation-building families, so that the Zhang family can survive. If the situation is bad, the Zhang family may even be exterminated! Over the past few hundred years in Nanshanfang, there have been more than one or two foundation-building families that have prospered and perished. The Mu family held a grand birthday banquet to celebrate the foundation-building ceremony. All families that were not hostile would send people to congratulate them. Ordinary independent cultivators and lower-middle-level local cultivators were all proud to receive an invitation from the Mu family. For example, when Hu Youquan received the invitation letter from the Mu family, he was overjoyed and surprised. He had no talent for cultivation, and no background to rely on. All he had were two storefronts. This little bit of assets only made him look impressive among the casual cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining. The more powerful casual cultivators would not treat him differently. Not to mention the giant foundation-building families in Nanshanfang! I hope he will take the initiative to come forward and give gifts, and the Foundation Establishment Family will not call him! "Youquan, you actually have connections with the Foundation Building Mu family! Why haven't I heard you mention it before?" Zhou Yun'e was also in high spirits as she looked at the invitation letter. In fact, she felt a little regretful after choosing Hu Youquan in the past six months. It’s not that she regretted leaving Xiao Changqing. On the contrary, she has never regretted it. Instead, she feels more and more that she did the right thing. Unfortunately, Hu Youquan was very different from what she had initially imagined. This local monk was far from being as wealthy and prestigious as she had imagined. He could barely be considered middle-class in Nanshanfang, and could only be considered lower-middle class. She regretted that she should have thought more carefully and chosen a stronger and more powerful partner. However, this time, receiving the invitation to the birthday banquet of the Mu family's foundation-building cultivator made her look at Hu Youquan with new eyes. It seems that local cultivators are local cultivators after all, and their foundation is not comparable to that of foreign cultivators. They usually don't show off, and Hu Youquan has never mentioned it specifically, but they actually have connections with the Foundation Establishment Family! "There are still many things you don't know!" Hu Youquan looked proud and complacent. I secretly thought in my heart that I must curry favor with the people of the Mu family today! If he could hold on to the Mu family in the future, his future would be much brighter! …… Mu family. On the day of the birthday banquet, the place was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and guests came and went, making it very lively. As the eldest daughter of the Mu family and the daughter of a foundation-building cultivator, Mu Chunfeng naturally would not do the miscellaneous work of welcoming and seeing off guests. There were only a few guests tonight who were worthy of her personal reception. "Chunfeng, are you so confident in Xiao Changqing? Not only do you continue to invest in him, but you are also prepared to vent your anger on him. Let me tell you, in recent months, many people in our Lingfu Pavilion are not optimistic about him." Jiang Jiuyue was cracking the spiritual fruit seeds while looking forward to the 'little drama' that was about to be performed.
Mu Chunfeng said helplessly: "You are asking even though you know the answer! It is because of the gossips spread by your Ling Fu Pavilion that the elders in my family have begun to doubt my judgment. They think that I have made a mistake and are considering changing the investment target!" "However, I haven't lost confidence in Xiao Changqing. It's only been half a year, what can we see?" "Today, I am taking advantage of my father's birthday party and helping him again without spending any money. Didn't he get started with talisman skills after being stimulated before? If he is stimulated again this time, maybe he will be enlightened and his talisman skills will increase greatly? If this stimulation is useless and he is still like this in another six months, then my first investment will really end in failure..." Since the Mu family has decided to invest in future potential stocks, they will definitely not invest in only Xiao Changqing. Cast the net widely to catch more fish. If someone's performance is poor and seriously fails to meet expectations, then the investment will definitely be cancelled. After all, although the Mu family is wealthy, spirit stones don’t just fall from the sky. So this time Hu Youquan didn't know that he was a stepping stone arranged by Mu Chunfeng for Xiao Changqing. Xiao Changqing didn't know that this birthday banquet was the Mu family's last chance for him to prove himself. If he still can't prove it after a while after the birthday banquet, they might find an excuse to take back his right to live in the cave... (End of this chapter)
