The probability of drawing high-tier items in this destiny draw was clearly much higher than last time.
Going by average expectations, getting three purples in ten draws was quite reasonable.
Last time, there was only one purple.
The time before that, even with a burst of luck, there was only one purple.
This time, "I don't ask to be reborn as an emperor, just to stay away from the abyss of misfortune."
It was still the same old ritual: bathing, changing clothes, and burning incense.
In this quiet lounge, in the room occupied solely by Fang You, he pressed the button of destiny.
A vortex reappeared!
As countless phantoms manifested within, Fang You's eyes widened, staring intently without blinking.
However, even though he was now a powerful Dual Awakener with a Physique of 11.4, it was still like looking through mist.
He seemed to see something, yet seemed to see nothing clearly.
He scratched his head.
He refocused his attention on the light of the draw.
There was no conspicuous red light, nor brilliant golden light. This was all within his expectations.
Soon, purple energy surged from the east.
Not just one!
Items flew out one by one.
[Obtained: Double Yield Card (White)]
[Obtained: Skill Cultivation Card (Green)]
[Obtained: Skill Book 'Cannon Fist' (Green)]
[Obtained: Cursed Artifact 'Serenity Bell' (Blue)]
[Obtained: A Bag of Cursed Crystals (Blue)]
[Obtained: Seed of Skill (Blue)]
[Obtained: Special Apostle 'Yin Ling' (Blue)]
A Special Apostle appeared!
Although it was only a blue potential, just like Black Blade's, Fang You didn't dislike it at all. Bring on more.
Perhaps sensing his muttered thoughts, the next moment a purple light emerged.
[Obtained: Reality Apostle 'Xing Jing Lei' (Purple)]
A character illustration appeared, depicting a robust young man.
Fang You: "That's it? Next."
[Obtained: Cursed Artifact 'Heavenly Net Hand' (Purple)]
[Obtained: Cursed Artifact 'Faceless Statue' (Purple)]
Three purples! Four blues! Two greens! One white!
This was exactly the expected value.
This was normal performance, and he was not disappointed.
Moreover, the importance of Destiny Apostles was still above items. For example, the Special Apostle 'Yin Ling' was more valuable in his eyes than a purple cursed artifact.
She was dressed in pure white, with a necklace hanging from her chest. She looked like a very gentle elder sister, with a sweet smile.
And unlike Black Blade, Yin Ling's attire looked normal, and her face was visible.
Of course,
He felt Yin Ling was valuable, not at all because her character illustration was attractive.
He wasn't lusting after her.
He was simply craving this person.
After all, "If we reference Black Blade, Special Apostles don't start from a complete blank slate. They have a certain starting point and come with skills."
Whether they were blank slates or not was no longer important.
Black Blade, with his Physique of 2.6 back then, seemed no different from a complete novice to him now. The skills were the main thing.
He had obtained Blade Slash for free from Black Blade.
If the new Apostle 'Yin Ling' also came with skills, then, by getting them for free, it would be double the happiness.
Fang You thought as he opened Yin Ling's panel.
He was already looking forward to it, but upon seeing it, he was stunned on the spot.

[Song of Cleansing the Soul]
[Description: The sound emitted by Yin Ling has effects such as calming, pacifying, healing mental damage, and the like, while also continuously resisting the influence of eldritch entities on sanity.]
There was no doubt about it, this was a healer.
And she was a very, very strong healer, possessing four green-tier skills, three of which he had never seen before!
Healing Stream, described as summoning a stream of water to cleanse wounds, with strong auxiliary effects for external wound healing.
Slumbering Song, a supportive skill for hypnosis.
Purify, used to remove some negative statuses, such as those from being scratched or bitten by eldritch entities. These were not simple external wounds, but akin to poison damage, a poison currently incomprehensible, which the injured could only resist on their own.
Purify could eliminate these toxins.
Not only that, but it could also reduce the mystery accumulated on a person.
The three skills were all highly practical, with Purify being a divine skill.
Yin Ling herself was a Dual Awakener Apostle, with all skills at proficiency level. This starting point alone put her miles ahead of Black Blade back then.
"As expected of a Special Apostle."
"I feel they are much stronger than Reality Apostles, just lacking a natural talent."
Fang You still didn't know what was special about Black Blade and Yin Ling.
He just felt that Special Apostles were like NPCs, appearing within the organization's base upon arrival.
Right,
Speaking of which, Yin Ling should have appeared in the base by now. He had indirectly inquired, and Black Blade had woken up on a bed in the lounge.
When he woke up, it was like having a long dream. Black Blade couldn't clearly recall his origin or past, seeming to have memory loss, only remembering his identity.
A warrior who fought eldritch entities.
Well, Black Blade woke up in the same lounge as him, in the bedroom next door.
He and Black Blade were still roommates.
In that case, Yin Ling must also be on a bed in some bedroom, having just woken from a dream.
But he had previously checked all three lounges, with a total of twelve bedrooms, and found no one.
With that thought, he left the room.
As soon as he stepped out, he noticed on the wall far down the corridor, a door was slowly forming.
It was the door to a lounge.
And it came with an additional lounge?
He thought.
As soon as the door formed, it was pushed open from the inside, and a woman about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a long-sleeved white top and long white pants, with black hair falling from her left shoulder to her front, emerged.
She seemed to possess a naturally gentle aura, and as she stood there quietly, everything around her became tranquil.
But their eyes met, and it would be too awkward not to speak.
Fang You had to break the silence.
"Yin Ling."
"Mentor."
They both spoke at the same time.
Perhaps she was still a bit dazed from just waking up, but compared to Black Blade's slight dullness when he first appeared, Yin Ling was much more lively. Under Fang You's guidance, she quickly entered work mode.
"Understood! Medical Apostle Yin Ling is now on duty."
"Yes, starting today, you will be responsible for all medical affairs of Xin Huo, but don't forget to take on some missions and eliminate some eldritch entities."
"This is essential on the path to becoming stronger."
"And to have more power to fight against disasters."
"Mentor, don't worry, Yin Ling will take good care of everyone's health in Xin Huo, and the missions won't be neglected!"
…
At the same time,
Next to Bai Yun Prefecture, in Yun Ling Prefecture, amidst a secluded mountain forest.
A robust man with purple stripes on his arm was looking around in surprise.
"You are the chosen one, Xing Jing Lei."
A loud voice in his mind, as if from the heavens, said so.
But, then what.
Why was there no continuation?!
