Mythological origins

At the moment when Su Yan made the choice, Bai Mo felt a slight pain in his heart, but it soon disappeared.

This is one of the costs of the method of borrowing luck.

The method of borrowing luck was first created by Dongfang Sa, a member of the Shoushi lineage, and is considered a rather niche inheritance.

The reason is also very simple. As the name suggests, Shoushi is a group of guys who use Yang Shou as a weapon. Their spiritual arts are indeed mysterious and powerful, but they often need to burn their lifespan.

Most practitioners pursue transcendence and seek longevity, and they are naturally insensitive to using lifespan as fuel.

Dongfang Sa, the founder of Shoushi lineage, even burned all his lifespan in order to advance to the sixth level, and calculated it on Bai Mo, but in the end he was very lucky to escape unscathed.

However, when he was exploring the seventh level, he accidentally fell into another world and is still missing. As a result, several disciples who have always been at odds with each other set up their own schools to compete for the many legacies left by this half-immortal. They all claimed to be the orthodox and were hostile to each other, making the Shoushi lineage, which was already thin in number, even weaker.

Not only that, the method of borrowing luck created by Dongfang Sa also emphasizes equal exchange. The amount of luck borrowed needs to be compensated to the borrower accordingly.

The bigger the matter, the higher the compensation.

So Bai Mo did not go to find the so-called son of luck right away, but first calculated it himself and narrowed down the target position to only ten.

The cost of choosing one out of ten is much less than looking for a needle in a haystack.

If there is no screening, and the son of luck of Su Yan's level is directly asked to borrow luck to predict the outbreak point of the spiritual tide, even if he uses up all his luck in this life, it may not succeed.

Even if he succeeds by chance, Bai Mo will have to pay a lot of life as a price.

Now it is just a multiple-choice question of choosing one out of ten. Bai Mo only needs to lose one or two days of life, and Su Yan's luck will be low for three to five weeks at most, which is not a big problem.

...

"Okay, sit here and don't move." Bai Mo threw down this sentence, and then two half-real and half-virtual magician hands stretched out from behind, which made Su Yan stunned.

The ten fingers of the mage's hand were as sharp as scalpels, which gave him a bad premonition.

"If you are afraid of seeing blood, you can close your eyes."

"Ah?!" Hearing this, Su Yan's uneasiness suddenly magnified to the extreme, but when he was borrowed before, he felt in the dark that this was something beneficial to him.

In the end, Su Yan decided to believe it. After all, he was dead and had a lot of spiritual energy treasures on his back, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

He closed his eyes, and the next moment, the mage's hands, like the claws of a female ghost, penetrated Su Yan's clothes and directly tore open the flesh of his chest.

Blood seeped out from the gaps between the ten fingers, but perhaps because the nerves were temporarily paralyzed, he felt that he didn't feel any pain at all, but instead felt a little...itchy?

It was the kind of itch that the wound was healing quickly.

This action lasted for about two minutes. Su Yan slowly tried to open his eyes, gradually accepting the shock of ten sharp fingers deeply inserted into his chest. He found that the wrists of the two ghost hands began to crack.

Clang!

The sound of glass breaking seemed to come from his ears.

The two ghost hands were completely severed from the wrists, and one side of the palm was still inserted into Su Yan's body. The arm behind was transformed into Bai Mo's pair of wings again, until it slowly turned into many fragments and disappeared.

"Angel?"

This was the only noun that could match Su Yan's mind at this time.

"Angel?" When Bai Mo heard this word, the corners of his mouth slightly raised up, as if he wanted to make a smile.     "What I passed to you is the earth-level spiritual map, the seed of the 'Hell Map'. These two palm prints will reshape your lungs into new spiritual organs within three months. Just consider it as the reward for this impromptu transaction."

As soon as the voice fell, Su Yan was moved outside the mine.

[Ding! You received a new document]

Before Su Yan had time to take a look at the situation on his chest, he received a notification from the Spiritual Energy Treasure System in his mind.

Of course, compared to the news, he was more concerned about the two ghost hands inserted in his chest.

The two ghost hands quickly vaporized in the sun, and soon only two unclear palm prints were left, and the wounds from the ten fingers had stopped bleeding.

If it weren't for the many marks on his chest, Su Yan might even think it was just a dream.

[Hell Map, a spiritual map composed of 11 spiritual organs of the five internal organs, ranks 23rd in the earth-level spiritual map, and the supporting exercises are Hell Map Compulsory 1, Hell Map Compulsory 2, Hell Map Compulsory 3, Hell Map Compulsory 4, Hell Map Compulsory 5, Hell Map Compulsory 6, Hell Map Elective 1-1, Hell Map Elective 1-2...]

Su Yan took a detailed look and took a deep breath.

It's not that I was shocked by the power of this Hell Map, but I was simply shocked by the price...

The total of the upper, middle and lower volumes of the Hell Map's compulsory course one costs 10,000 spiritual energy points. Each level of the compulsory course needs to add a zero. By the time it reaches the compulsory course six, the three volumes alone cost 1 billion spiritual energy points, not to mention the elective courses at the end.

Besides, Bai Mo only gave him a new lung, and he still needs to find a way to get the other ten spiritual organs.

It's another huge project with no end in sight.

But at this time, Su Yan's eyes began to light up with a light called "hope".

This was something he had never had before.

Su Yan was born in a poor family in Emerald City, and his way out can basically be described in four words - a thief and a prostitute, with no other options.

But the advent of the psychic age has changed all this.

…

After getting the answer from Su Yan, Bai Mo used the Eye of Observation to take another look. The other party's original huge amount of luck had already dissipated by more than half, at least in the next few months, it would be no different from ordinary people at most.

Surrounding the position selected by Su Yan, Bai Mo began to arrange layer after layer of formations.

He not only wanted to use the spiritual tide to restore a lot of strength in one leap, but also to explore more secrets behind the spirit.

To deal with such a fixed target, the formation is undoubtedly the best choice.

Especially the rune formation that does not require much resource consumption.

After hundreds of years of human exploration, thousands of formations have been invented, some of which require various precious spiritual materials as the formation eye or consumables. Although these prodigal formations are expensive, if used properly, they can even help people easily kill enemies at higher levels.

But on Earth, where the spiritual tide has not yet erupted, let alone the treasures of heaven and earth, even the spiritual stones are only the lowest-end version.

In such an environment, only the most economical and affordable rune formations are left.

This was also one of the earliest directions that humans began to explore, because when spiritual energy first appeared in the world, no one knew what good things were, and even the classification of treasures had not been determined, let alone the formation theory based on these things.
