Chapter 103: Low-Budget Primordial Artifacts

“Master, brother, look what I found!”

Red Red, who had just defeated the Yellow Immortal, picked up an item he had dropped. In a blink, she appeared before Li Yunfei, holding up the object and cheering excitedly.

Li Yunfei took it and examined it. It was a pill, similar in appearance to the Blood Pill, Soul Pill, and Strength Pill, but with a grayish-white hue.

The information about the pill had not yet appeared in his mind, but Li Yunfei was already able to guess what it was.

Sure enough, after a moment, the pill’s details surfaced in his consciousness.

Agility Pill: Consuming it permanently increases agility by 16 points. Each person can only take up to five pills; any beyond that have no effect.

The usual routine: sell it to the system’s store, then buy back a bunch to ensure that he, Red Red, and all 18 skeletal warriors consumed enough.

Afterward, Li Yunfei’s four main attributes became: Strength 206 (10), Agility 179 (8), Constitution 236 (10), and Spirit 196 (7).

Red Red’s attributes were: Strength 187 (10), Agility 263 (8), Constitution 188 (10), and Spirit 187 (7).

The skeletal warriors’ physical strength hadn’t increased, but it was clear their bone molecular structure had been optimized again.

Their agility now surpassed that of the Yellow Immortal, only slightly weaker than Li Yunfei himself.

As for Red Red, her agility was just one point shy of the highest, making it thirty-three times that of an ordinary person. This surpassed the second awakening of agility-type awakeners and reached the level of a third awakening.

To put it into perspective, a third awakening for an agility-type awakener is powerful enough to reach the Blue Tier.

What does that mean exactly?

Red Red’s running speed was about two hundred meters per second, or roughly 720 kilometers per hour—far faster than a helicopter’s flight speed.

She was even faster than cultivators at the Spirit Realm who flew on swords; Li Yunfei himself could only manage around 600 kilometers per hour on his sword.

Moreover, agility was not just about running speed but also about quick maneuvers in confined spaces and reaction speed.

At full speed, to Red Red, ordinary people appeared to move in slow motion.

Li Yunfei was slower, running about 130 meters per second, or around 468 kilometers per hour, comparable to a military helicopter.

Still, at such speeds, within a hundred meters, it was almost like teleportation. Against ordinary martial artists, he held an overwhelming advantage.

After taking the Agility Pills, Li Yunfei gathered his divine awareness and swept the battlefield, collecting all the equipment and items into his system bag.

The valuable items in this instance were mainly the gear dropped by the Yellow Immortal and the leaders.

Stunning Poison Wolf Claw: Crafted from the weasel demon’s own front claws, it can be wielded by hand or controlled via divine awareness. It carries demon poison that causes confusion of the target’s soul, inducing a stunned state. The Yellow Immortal Pill can cure this effect.

Stunning Wolf Fang Dagger: Made from the Yellow Immortal’s two strongest canine teeth, it can also be wielded or controlled by divine awareness. It carries demon poison causing soul confusion and stupor, curable by the Yellow Immortal Pill.

Besides these two treasures used by the Yellow Immortal and his commanders, there was another artifact produced by the system itself—this was the most valuable treasure of the entire instance.

Stunning Yellow Wind Gourd: When infused with spiritual power, it emits a poisonous yellow wind that can cover a large area. Those touched by the yellow wind suffer soul confusion and enter a stunned state, curable by the Yellow Immortal Pill.

Seeing the description of this artifact, Li Yunfei chuckled silently. This was just a cheap imitation of the Old Ancestor Hongyun’s famous Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd.

The so-called yellow wind was obviously the weasel demon’s fart; he just wasn’t sure if it smelled as foul.

Li Yunfei swallowed a Yellow Immortal Pill, then pulled out the gourd’s stopper, infused a faint bit of spiritual power, and released a puff of yellow gas. He cautiously brought it close to his nose and sniffed.

The result pleased him greatly—the yellow wind was colored but odorless, not foul at all.

It seemed the system retained only the main effect and discarded unnecessary features, which was quite good.

This brownish-yellow gourd was arguably the strongest support artifact for group battles.

Its most remarkable aspect was that it targeted not the flesh but directly the soul.

Therefore, any being possessing a soul was almost defenseless against the yellow wind’s assault.

Of course, creatures inherently resistant to yellow wind, such as weasels themselves, stink badgers, mongooses, and other mustelids, were naturally immune.

Having mastered the art of releasing foul gas as a survival tactic, they possessed the corresponding resistance.

Also, beings with exceptionally strong souls could endure the effect through sheer spiritual power.

Overall, this gourd was an extremely powerful supportive combat artifact, especially in large-scale battlefields where it could turn the tide of war. Calling it a strategic treasure would not be an exaggeration.

Coincidentally, Li Yunfei was soon to head to the ancient battlefield of Changping to provide support—this gourd arrived just in time.

Li Yunfei suddenly realized that the system’s produced artifacts were becoming increasingly reminiscent of the prehistoric era.

Wasn’t that Zombie Spirit Purple Gold Hammer just a cheap imitation of the Supreme Lord’s “Purple Lightning Hammer”?

Was this the system’s style, or did the system itself have some connection to the prehistoric age?

This thought only flickered briefly in Li Yunfei’s mind; he did not dwell on it, knowing that probing deeper would yield no results.

Retrieving his eighteen skeletal warriors, Li Yunfei chose to exit the instance.

Back in the present world, the bright moon hung high, and the night was cool and clear.

After collecting the materials used to set up the Demon Suppression Eight Trigrams Formation, Li Yunfei stretched long on top of a tomb, feeling greatly relaxed in spirit.

He smiled at Red Red and said, “After more than a month of rushing around every day to level up, we can finally rest for a few days.”

Red Red sucked her finger and replied, “Even if you don’t rush to level up, Master, there are always other things to do. When is there time to rest?”

Li Yunfei said, “It’s the same to me. As long as I’m not in combat, it counts as rest.”

Watching Red Red suck her finger, he smiled and shook his head. This was a habit from her fox form, licking her paws.

Gently taking her small hand, he pulled her finger from her mouth.

Then he bought an Alps lollipop from the system store, handed it to her, and said, “Stop sucking your fingers, eat this instead!”

Red Red’s eyes lit up. She happily took the lollipop, eagerly tore off the wrapper, and popped it into her mouth.

Curious, she looked at Li Yunfei and asked, “Master, didn’t you used to forbid me from eating candy?”

Li Yunfei affectionately ruffled her hair and smiled, “You were a fox back then; eating too much candy was bad for your health. Now it’s different—you’ve transformed into human form and gained profound cultivation. Many of the old taboos no longer apply.”

Red Red exclaimed joyfully, “So that means I can eat barbecue, hotpot, and spicy skewers now too?”

Li Yunfei chuckled, “Of course. From now on, whatever I eat, you eat too.”

“That’s great! I can finally live like a human!” Red Red spun around in delight.

Li Yunfei felt equally happy. Having spent more than a month away from human society, he was about to return, and his mood was excellent.

He took out his phone to check the time—it was just past nine in the evening. He said to Red Red, “Let’s go! Tonight, we’ll head to Baling, find a hotel to rest, then buy some things tomorrow, and the day after, visit Yingzi.”

“Mm-hmm, I haven’t seen Sister Yingzi in a long time. I miss her too! I wonder how she’ll react to seeing me now, hehe.”

“I think that will be quite interesting, hahaha…”
