BXBX NOVEL Chapter 309 - 308: Jiang Li’s Luck
Jiang Li carefully scrutinized the black box. There was a small linear slot at the top. By patting either side of the box, cards would pop out.
Some cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage and God-transformation stage tried to probe the inside of the black box with their Divine Sense, hoping to find some tricks.
But the black box provided by the True Void was specially made, impervious to Divine Sense.
One eager cultivator patted the box ten times in a row.
A trace of purple light mixed with white light was very conspicuous.
Nine white, one purple.
“My luck isn’t too bad, right?” The cultivator who got the purple Transcendance Tribulation Stage card felt that being at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage was quite impressive.
He looked around him: nine white, one purple, nine hundred, one purple, nine white, one purple…
Obviously, drawing a purple Transcendance Tribulation Stage card wasn’t rare.
Purple lights flickered among the group of nine white, one purple light beams, remarkably eye-catching.
“Who drew several purple cards?”
“Isn’t everyone getting nine white, one purple?”
People looked at the owners of the several purple lights.
“I remember that cultivator, his name is Yuan Wuxing. He actually drew four purple cards?”
More purple lights flashed.
The little white fox yelped, showing off to everyone that it had drawn three purple cards.
“How come even a fox has better luck than me?”
Yuan Wuxing and the little white fox were gatekeepers. After them, several more cultivators drew more than two purple cards.
Song Ying and Aguna both got three purple cards.
The True Void nodded secretly. Sure enough, his judgement was spot on. This group of people had extraordinary luck. They would certainly accomplish something in the future, and it wouldn’t be a problem for them to reach the Body Integration Realm like him. Even going further, to become a great being at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, was possible.
Nine white, one gold flashed by.
At first no one paid attention. What was so amazing about nine white lights?
But soon the crowd stirred. The difference between purple light and golden light was huge, and the golden glow was striking in the secret realm.
“Someone pulled out a golden card?!”
People couldn’t believe their own eyes. How could there be such a big gap in luck between people?!
“It’s the Human Emperor’s card!” People craned their necks, eager to see what the golden card looked like.
Qin Luan was also surprised. He didn’t expect to draw a golden card.
The True Void was even more surprised than everyone else. The odds of drawing a golden card were extremely low. Many times the secret realm was opened, but no one drew a golden card.
A great lucky star! This one was bound to achieve something extraordinary.
The True Void’s means didn’t work on Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu. They were studying the black box.
“It should be the Dao of Space, similar to a storage ring.”
The two used Divine Sense to see that the inside of the black box was a vast space filled with countless cards forming a sea of cards.
Bai Hongtu patted the box, and the sea of cards inside the box would surge, and the cards at the crest of the wave would pop out from the small slot at the top of the box.
A purple light flashed by.
“Transcendance Tribulation Stage.” Bai Hongtu got a Transcendance Tribulation Stage card, and the image on it was himself.
“Interesting, purely luck-based, no manipulation involved.”
Bai Hongtu found that without external interference, the appearance of any card from the box was random, there were no rules to follow. Even if he used the same force or hit the box at the same point, the way the cards inside the box flowed was completely different.
A purple light flashed by.
“Transcendance Tribulation again, but this time it’s Sword Monarch’s card.” Bai Hongtu was unhappy not to have drawn a card with his own image on it.
“Let’s do it again.” Bai Hongtu got hooked on this game, drew cards again, and used up the remaining eight chances.
Seven purple, one gold.
Adding the previous two purple lights, it made nine purple, one gold!
“Not bad, I drew three cards of myself.” Bai Hongtu didn’t care about anything else, he just wanted to draw his own card.
Bai Hongtu didn’t care, but the other cultivators did.
They thought Qin Luan’s nine white, one gold was quite rare already, and they didn’t expect something even more astounding to follow.
Nine purple, one gold!
Did he use up all his life span to do this?!
The True Void was also unsettled. This was the luckiest person he had ever seen since he started the card drawing activity.
On second thought, Bai Hongtu’s luck was indeed good. Born into the Dao Sect, he had access to endless resources, possessed an Earth Spirit Root, and was unparalleled in talent. Even without working hard, he could comfortably cultivate to the Body Integration Realm.
Just a run-of-the-mill Body Integration Realm, nothing special.
Bai Hongtu believed that he was able to cultivate to the peak of the Transcendance Tribulation, to get through Immortal Tribulation once, it required luck, hard work, and intelligence. He couldn’t afford to miss any of them.
Seeing most people had finished drawing, Bai Hongtu next to him had even drawn the outrageous nine purple, one gold.
As a real Mahayana, wouldn’t it be reasonable for me to draw one or two golden cards?
Jiang Li patted the black box.
Ten white lights flashed by.
Instantly, Jiang Li’s face was darker than the black box: “Isn’t it supposed to be a guaranteed purple card after ten draws?”
The True Void was stunned: “Before meeting you, I thought it was.”
When the True Void designed the black box, he set the odds of drawing a purple card at one in ten. If the first nine draws did not produce a purple card, the odds of drawing a purple card in the tenth draw would be drastically increased, almost equivalent to a guaranteed purple card after ten draws.
He also encountered for the first time a cultivator who couldn’t draw a purple card even after ten consecutive draws.
But Jiang Li didn’t think so, he still wanted to draw his own card.
“How much to draw ten more times?”
“Six hundred forty-eight top-quality Spirit stones.”
The cultivators also wanted to draw a few more times originally, but now hearing this unreasonable price, they immediately dismissed this impractical idea.
Six hundred forty-eight top-quality Spirit stones! This was a price crippling even for God-transformation stage cultivators.
“Ten more times.” Without another word, Jiang Li took out the Spirit Stones.
“Pat the Spirit Stones onto the box, it’ll absorb them itself.”
Jiang Li did as instructed, and drew ten more times.
The black box absorbed the Spirit Stones, and the sea of cards inside rolled.
Ten white lights flashed by.
“Hiss–”
Even the True Void, who had a deep understanding of luck, couldn’t judge Jiang Li’s luck.
If you say his luck was good, he didn’t even draw a purple card once.
If you say his luck was bad, he had twenty consecutive white lights. This had never happened before. Its rarity was comparable to that of nine purple, one gold.
“Ten more times!” Jiang Li didn’t even bat an eye, and again took out the Spirit Stones.
Ten white lights flashed by.
Originally, the True Void’s standard for judging luck was who drew more purple and gold cards, had extraordinary luck.
Now, he felt it could be changed.
Whoever didn’t draw purple and gold cards, their luck was extraordinary.
“Draw fifty times in a row!” Jiang Li wanted to draw fifty times in one go.
“Uh, you can only draw ten times at a time.” The True Void reminded him from the side, and he felt a little uneasy for some reason.
Nine white, one purple.
When Jiang Li drew ten again, he finally drew a purple card.
“Still haven’t drawn a gold card yet, continue.” Jiang Li won’t stop until he draws a card of himself.
A steady stream of Spirit Stones poured into the black box, and the white and purple lights alternated.
Jiang Li repeatedly did the tedious work of charging Spirit Stones, until the black box finally had a different reaction–
It exploded.
