It was a Pearl Shell with a one-star quality and three Bearing Points, capable of producing a large number of pearls, provided that the Beast Taming Space had a water domain. Therefore, to use it, one would also need to bear a Wondrous Item that could derive a water domain.
This wasn't the Wondrous Item he was looking for.
"Not the right side, but the left? The ninth row on the left, fifth column, top layer."
A dark brown, square block of soil.
Li Cunxu was secretly pleased. He had found it. He calmly picked it up, though his hands trembled slightly with nervousness.
"It's a bit heavier than other Medicinal Soil Blocks. It must be the one."
[Wondrous Item: Medicinal Soil Block]
[Quality: One-star]
[Bearing Points: 1]
[Description: When embedded in the Beast Taming Space, it can derive soil suitable for growing medicinal herbs.]
The larger the Medicinal Soil Block, the higher its quality.
This particular block was of poor quality, not even the size of a fist.
The relationship between the quality of a Wondrous Item and its Bearing Points:
One-star: 1~3 Bearing Points.
Two-star: 4~6 Bearing Points.
Three-star: 7~9 Bearing Points.
…
Nine-star: 25~27 Bearing Points.
For every three Bearing Points a Wondrous Item exceeds, its quality increases by one star.
One-star with 1 Bearing Point: Poor among one-star Wondrous Items.
One-star with 2 Bearing Points: Average among one-star Wondrous Items.
One-star with 3 Bearing Points: Top-tier among one-star Wondrous Items.
This Medicinal Soil Block, with one-star and 1 Bearing Point, was among the poor ones. Generally, only Beast Tamers with limited Bearing Points would choose it.
Li Cunxu chose it not to bear it, but for the Wondrous Item hidden within it.
The Foundation Dice.
This Wondrous Item was extraordinary, considered a treasure among Wondrous Items, a Divine Artifact among weapons, and an Emperor Tool among tools.
It was a nine-star Wondrous Item.
However, it only required 1 Bearing Point, with one restriction: before embedding it, the Beast Tamer must not have embedded any other Wondrous Items, otherwise, it couldn't be embedded.
Its function was to reduce the Bearing Points required for other Wondrous Items.
For example, if Li Cunxu had already embedded the Foundation Dice and wanted to embed a Dragon Blood Gem (Red Dragon) that required 2 Bearing Points, the Foundation Dice could roll a number between 1 and 6. If it rolled a 2, then 2 - 2 = 0.
Thus, embedding the Dragon Blood Gem (Red Dragon) would consume no Bearing Points.
The Foundation Dice could reduce up to 6 Bearing Points at most and at least 1 Bearing Point. The higher the quality of the Wondrous Item, the higher the number rolled, and vice versa.
Having the Foundation Dice meant saving a lot of Bearing Points, allowing the embedding of more Wondrous Items.
There was also a bug-like feature with the Foundation Dice: it always rolled at least 1 point. For a one-star Wondrous Item with 1 Bearing Point, it would always reduce the cost to 0, meaning it would never consume Bearing Points. Thus, the Beast Taming Space could infinitely embed one-star Wondrous Items with 1 Bearing Point.
In his previous life, a certain player was lucky enough to obtain the Foundation Dice. He shared its abilities and how to acquire it, making many players envious, including Li Cunxu.
Therefore, Li Cunxu remembered the Foundation Dice vividly.
Later, when the game updated to version 10.0, introducing items that could destroy players' embedded Wondrous Items, that player was hunted across the server. After hiding for three months, he couldn't resist logging back in and was ambushed by guild members who destroyed his Foundation Dice.
But the Foundation Dice was something too many people desired. The top ten super guilds all joined the fray, and non-guild players, not afraid of stirring up trouble, also jumped in, triggering a seven-day server-wide battle involving tens of millions of players, including Li Cunxu.
For this, Li Cunxu lost seven levels.
In the end, the Foundation Dice was seized by the guild leader of the seventh-ranked super guild, Dynasty Guild.
This guild leader used a binding, non-droppable item on the Foundation Dice to secure it.
However, this provoked widespread anger. The Dynasty Guild was targeted and dropped out of the top ten super guild rankings, and the guild leader himself was reset to level zero.
Later, though, this guild leader grew stronger with the Foundation Dice and led his guild into the top three of the guild rankings.
With the Foundation Dice in hand, Li Cunxu had no reason to stay and hurried back to the ranch.
He crushed the Medicinal Soil Block, revealing the black cube-shaped Foundation Dice, and eagerly embedded it. The crushed Medicinal Soil Block was collected in a bottle.
The damaged Medicinal Soil Block couldn't be used, but it could be repaired with Inferior Revival Water.
The embedding process went smoothly, with no unusual phenomena, making it seem quite ordinary.
[Player: Li Cunxu]
[Level: Black Iron]
[Talents: Bountiful Pasture (Blue), Divinity Endowment (Unique)]
[Pet Beast: Water Slime (Xiao Ruan)]
[Shared Skill: Water Orb]
[Bearing Points: 9]
[Wondrous Item: Foundation Dice]
"I really want to try the Foundation Dice, but I don't have any Wondrous Items on hand."
With his recent goals accomplished, Li Cunxu finally had time to deal with the culprit who had caused the death of his original body.
Li Cunxu took out Xue Fengsi, who was now just a head, from the safe.
Xue Fengsi angrily cursed, "You actually used the blood of Filth Rats to keep me alive, you scum, you scum…"
Blood Cultists are incredibly resilient. As long as they are provided with active blood, they can survive even as just a head.
But Blood Cultists don't just absorb any blood—for example, the blood of Filth Rats.
The blood of Filth Rats is extremely foul, and even Blood Cultists can't stand the smell. Making them absorb this blood is worse than forcing them to drink liquid gold.
"Ugh~ Stay away from me when you talk. Your breath reeks of Filth Rat."
Li Cunxu said with disgust, taking a few steps back without hiding his disdain. Seeing this, Xue Sifeng became even angrier, nearly grinding his teeth to dust.
"You did this! You did this! How dare you say that!"
"What do you mean I did it? Clearly, you're the one who made yourself drink Filth Rat blood. I warned you that if you didn't confess, I'd throw you into a cesspool. I'm a man of my word, and I did exactly that."
"Drinking Filth Rat blood is worse than being thrown into a cesspool!"
"How was I supposed to know? The internet said absorbing Filth Rat blood is equivalent to being thrown into a cesspool. Anyway, stop worrying about such trivial matters. It's time for your injection."
Trivial matters? Xue Sifeng's veins bulged on his forehead, his eyes filled with a murderous glare that wished to tear Li Cunxu to pieces.
Xue Sifeng had no stomach, so he couldn't absorb Honesty Water through it. Li Cunxu filled a syringe with Honesty Water and injected it into his blood vessel.
"Did you tell anyone else about my sister's secret?"
"No."
Li Cunxu breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that no one else knew. He had been worried that others might find out, which would lead to endless trouble.
"How did you discover my sister's secret?"
"Your neighbor is a sleeper agent of the Blood God Sect, and I am his superior. Once, while meeting with him, I mistakenly entered your house instead of his, and then I sensed the power of the Blood God and the other three deities within your sister."
"How did you harm me?"
"I controlled your blood to stop your heart. It's strange; I clearly confirmed that you were dead before I left. How did you come back to life?"
Should I explain that I traveled through time and was resurrected, revealing my greatest secret?
Moreover, Blood Cultists can be resurrected after death.
After a Blood Cultist dies, they will be resurrected in the Divine Kingdom of the Scarlet Blood God, though it takes over twenty years.
Even without the resurrection in the Divine Kingdom of the Scarlet Blood God, Li Cunxu wouldn't say anything.
The principle that villains die from talking too much is something he has seen plenty of in TV shows and novels.
