"If there wasn’t the upgrade drive to suppress erosion, humans would simply be unable to beco Transcendent."
"Of course, if it were ancient cultivation thods, the risks would evidently be much smaller."
Every ti this happened, Xu Shu could always feel that those who invented Cursing Seal Cultivation thod were extraordinarily talented individuals, and he could sense the strong pioneering spirit of the human race, sharing in its glory.
If ancient cultivation hadn’t been completely abolished after the catastrophe, if they hadn’t been truly pushed to the brink by those inexplicably descending Evil Gods and demons, who would choose the Sealing Technique as sothing to risk their life with?
Lie Zhenzi is great, no need to say more.
At five thirty in the morning, Xu Shu left Alice at ho in bed, taking advantage of dawn, traveling along the highways.
Although there were still considerable crowds, compared to the congested Lower District, No.2 Lower District was much better, not so crowded that people had to jostle shoulders while walking.
Walking on the road, the distance between people could still be maintained at over two ters, providing a significant sense of safety.
And as the towering Star Tower ca into view ahead, the overpass bridging the sky also created a huge space for it.
It’s noteworthy that even Penglai District’s Star Tower has its entrance on the ground, not put on what they themselves defined as the "horizon."
This is probably one of the few buildings in Bai Yujing that is completely consistent with other safe zones.
Because it was early, Xu Shu, wearing a mask worth 1 contribution point, actually a white sheep but called "Dou Palace·Chou Niu," didn’t have much of a queue, and smoothly entered a ’space capsule’ inside the Star Tower’s main hall.
He took out so loot from his backpack, neatly arranging them in front of him, then activated the upgrade drive at his hips.
Feeling the electric surge rushing through his body, a light screen condensed before his eyes:
——

[Hint: Detected that you possess multiple Curse Tools, scanning for compatibility...]
Huh?
Seeing the ssage popped up on the screen, Xu Shu raised his brows lightly.
Indeed, he had gathered a batch of Curse Tools over these days, from Wu Liuzhi’s "copper green holy grail" to the iron rods just used by the elders of the Residual Sound Society, with varying qualities.
But previously, there hadn’t been any prompt from the upgrade drive like this.
Recalling certain rumors at the beginning, Xu Shu couldn’t help but suspect that perhaps one had to enter the Star Tower to "wear" the Curse Tools?
While contemplating, lines of information were scanned out on the screen.
[Scan Complete]
[Hint: 60 points automatic deduction for appraisal]
[Curse Tool: copper green holy grail (Flawless); Containnt conditions: 1, Continuously use copper green holy grail to hold specific corrosive items, wait for complete conversion to ’copper green holy water’, drink a whole cup to try containnt; 2, restricted professions "Polluter", "Demon·Nag", "Yang God Fu Shi" can perform containnt without ritual.]
[Curse Tool: Locking Clear Autumn (Flawless); Containnt conditions: 1, Use the brush on the skin to copy the inscriptions ’Lock’’Clear’’Autumn’, peel off skin along with dissolved words to feed the tool, try containnt after a hundred words; 2, restricted professions "Musician" can perform direct containnt without ritual (Note: forrly called "Scholar")]

After reading these two ssages, Xu Shu was initially enlightened.
Then his eyes widened, and he cursed in his heart, "Damn it, an automatic deduction? Lie Zhenzi really went too far, I didn’t even click confirm!"
Fortunately, it’s not much, 60 points, seems like 10 points per item, thankfully it’s not very expensive... Damn! Xu Shu pondered.
There is a concept of "equipnt slots" for the containnt of curse tools, which he already knew from earlier information. A First Order Transcendent can only contain one curse tool, with each level increase allowing for an additional slot.
However, he didn’t know that containing curse tools required a ritual to be perford first, and it didn’t guarantee success.
Moreover, different curse tools have their peculiarities. Transcendents of specific professions, when compatible with the curse tool, can contain it directly without a ritual.
"Does this an that my profession might also have curse tools that can be contained directly?" Xu Shu held so skepticism and continued reading the appraisal details:
[Curse Tool: Blood Pipe Gun (Excellent); Containnt Condition: Use this curse tool for smoking activities, and after ingesting 10 grams of nicotine within an hour, it can be contained.]
[Curse Tool: Soul-draining Whip (Excellent); Containnt Condition: Use this curse tool to engage in special activities with any human of the opposite gender a hundred cumulative tis, including: dripping wax, binding, cleaning balls, etc... Afterwards, blend 10 liters of the partner’s bodily fluids into the curse tool, after which it can be contained.]
[Curse Tool: Lawyer’s Dharma Seal (Excellent); Containnt Condition: Use this curse tool to participate in case litigation, evidence collection, notarization, reversal of judgnt, etc., and once the number of people involved reaches a hundred, it can be contained.]
[Curse Tool: Super-male Bamboo Stick; Containnt Condition: Wear straw shoes, use this bamboo stick to perform 1000 ovary removal surgeries on any breed of dog (male or female), after which it can be contained.]
——
These four curse tools, the first two co respectively from an old man and a young woman of the ’Three Friends of Cold Seasons’.
What looks like an iron rod, the "bamboo stick," cos from a "Grandmaster" elder of the Residual Sound Society, of which particular elder Xu Shu forgot.
As for the Dharma Seal, it was left behind by Annihilation Association’s "Ba Jin Chenlong".
From this, Xu Shu noticed that not all curse tools have the special condition of "specific profession can contain without a ritual."
Apparently, at least curse tools of the [Flawless] level and above have the condition to be habitually compatible with specific professions without a ritual.
While those below Flawless, one must go through these seemingly bizarre, or bloody, or perverted rituals as prerequisites for containing the curse tool.
Moreover, Xu Shu found that compared, the containing conditions for non-’Flawless’ curse tools are much more difficult.
And the conditions for ’Excellent’ level containnt look relatively easy?
"The Soul-draining Whip seems easy to achieve, but it’s only for human females, not suitable for ... I’ll sell this one."
"The Lawyer’s Dharma Seal is clearly very professional; I can only participate in evidence collection, right? So I’ll have to sell it as well."
"This iron rod seems suitable for to use; I do need a handy weapon... Uh, what’s with ’male or female doesn’t matter’? Where the hell does a male dog have ovaries? This ritual seems insane... It feels unreliable, and it’s too small to boost much, so I’ll sell it."
"Hmm, looking through, only the Blood Pipe Gun just requires smoking to unlock. Only 10 grams of nicotine ingestion in an hour? I feel like most smokers smoke more than ten cigarettes a day, right? This condition should be the easiest to complete..." Thought Xu Shu, who doesn’t love to smoke.
However, because this curse tool clearly didn’t et his requirents for a weapon’s appearance, after so thought, he still decided to sell it.
After so contemplation, Xu Shu decided to sell off the flawless curse tool ’Locking Clear Autumn’ along with the other four excellent curse tools in exchange for resources.
Additionally, the low-tier crystal resources found in Wu Liuzhi’s backpack, including the three purple crystals dropped by Demon Woman Qize Miao, were also sold to repurchase blue crystals, which was more cost-effective.
In contrast, the [Copper Green Holy Grail], a curse tool once used by Wu Liuzhi, left a very strong impression on Xu Shu; its terrifying corrosion effect and lethality were quite substantial.
Thus, Xu Shu planned to keep it on hand first to see if he could contain it; if containnt failed, he would consider selling it.
With this in mind, Xu Shu sought out Old Gang from Pangu Machinery.
"Old Gang, this ti we’re hitting big! Look at these." — Anonymous.
[Anonymous uploaded a real-ti item image]
"Hey buddy, easy... Holy shit, did you wipe out a whole family?" — Pangu Machinery, Old Gang.
"Don’t ask too much, are you taking them?" — Anonymous.
"I’ll take them!"
So, Xu Shu and Old Gang began discussing their biggest business deal to date.
After two hours of pleasant negotiations.
Xu Shu walked away from the Star Tower with 10 blue crystals and a contribution worth tens of thousands.
