Although the game's plot takes a very strange turn, it gradually connects the vast majority of players together.

Although the connection is somewhat strange.

It's ridiculous that the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect came to Bibo Yaoshan to build houses for them!

Mingmei dared to swear that even if the entire Wanjian Sect was obsessed with swords and forged swords for free, and would do anything to buy good materials for forging swords, Mingmei believed that in reality, the disciples of Wanjian Sect would absolutely not come to Bibo Yaoshan to build houses for a few spirit stones.

Some of these are personal grudges.

In a more fashionable way, Bibo Yaoshan is full of delicate fairies with slightly pampered personalities, while Wanjianmen is full of straight men from top to bottom, completely lacking in romantic understanding, and their aesthetic sense is also completely different.

Also renowned for its weapon crafting, the swords of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are truly the epitome of "gentlemen concealing their sharpness," appearing unassuming yet capable of wreaking havoc in battle.

When Mingmei left that world, eight of the ten great swords on the continent were forged by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Bibo Yaoshan also deals with weapon crafting, but their crafts are mostly exquisite and ornate. The red silk ribbon on Mingmei's head was originally crafted by one of the sect leaders of Bibo Yaoshan, but how it ended up in Mei Shi's hands is unknown to Mingmei, as Bibo Yaoshan never came to ask for it back.

Seeing Lu Xiaoyao, Charlie, and the others exchanging information with several disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect at the place where they were building houses, Mingmei, in order to gather information, also concealed her aura and stood in the woods not far away, eavesdropping as well.

"Huh? Your sect's natural sword-forging furnace is really unusable?" Lu Xiaoyao remembered that the reason they suddenly left Jingyun Mountain was because the sect's sword pool was destroyed. "It's been so long, and it still can't be used?"

"Yes, it really is. You see our sect leader with a dark face every day. You don't know, it is said that the Extreme Yin Ice is very rare, and very few people possess it. Moreover, the sect leader has directly put up a bounty, saying that anyone who can find out the whereabouts of the Extreme Yin Ice is the person who asked for it."

Once it's discovered that the Sword Pool was destroyed, the person who made the greatest contribution will be awarded a top-tier treasure-level weapon, the kind custom-made for them.

"Wow... so many spirit stones?" Lu Xiaoyao exclaimed in amazement, but then added, "So you can't make swords anymore, so you've switched to building houses?"

"Tsk! What are you thinking about?" A player from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect rolled his eyes at Lu Xiaoyao and whispered, "The sect leader of Bibo Yaoshan said that if we can build them an incredibly sturdy kitchen that is safe and convenient for cooking and lighting fires, she will tell us who she knows is the owner of the Extreme Yin Ice."

"Wow!"

Lu Xiaoyao's mouth dropped open, and Mingmei was also speechless: "Then, when Sect Leader Yuehua felt it was too shameful to ask her disciples for compensation, she simply demanded how much compensation she got directly from my mother and Lianhua Temple?"

One hundred high-grade spirit stones.

Mingmei took a breath. A thousand might not seem like much, but if it were converted into low-grade spirit stones, it would be ten million low-grade spirit stones.

Based on the guaranteed monthly spirit stones for each of Lu Xiaoyao's disciples, Lu Xiaoyao felt that she was already in a state of "Aba Aba" (a very low level of spiritual energy).

"If I'm only living off the minimum monthly allowance for disciples, how many years would it take me to do that?"

Lu Xiaoyao's eyes were empty as she looked at the simple thatched huts that the Wanjian Sect was busy building. A mix of emotions welled up inside her.

Is this how you get something for nothing by using your silver tongue and powerful information network?

"We've gone off on a tangent. Let's not just talk about us. I've heard that your past few months have been anything but exciting!"

The Wan Jian Sect players' recent arrival here and their stories about Bibo Yao Mountain, as well as the things Lu Xiaoyao and the others shared that weren't detailed, are much more interesting than their months-long investigation into the destruction of the Sword Pool!

"Actually, I think that the clues that Lu Xiaoyao and the others have been pursuing for so long and that involve such a wide range of issues are likely part of the main storyline."

Do you think other sects are also encountering this evil spirit? Like when our senior brother was possessed by an evil spirit…”

Charlie brought up the matter of the deceased senior brother, then paused for a moment before saying, "I almost forgot that our temple has also been investigating the theft of the relics, but we still haven't found any clues. The senior brother died too quickly and didn't mention the relics, so we don't know if there's any connection."

"It seems your matter has escalated to the sect level. When it happened here, it was outside the sect, in a city affiliated with Jingyun Mountain, Linjing City... It was my brother who first noticed something was wrong. Then, because of the evil spirits attacking Fairy Meishi, it wouldn't have been exposed."

It sounds like the other sects all have internal problems, and Lu Xiaoyao is now trying to turn Versailles into a battleground.

"The only one that's alright is Bu Tian Sect, right?" The Wan Jian Sect player recognized Su He from Bu Tian Sect, so he asked, "By the way, Bu Tian Sect is supposedly closed off, and disciples aren't allowed to leave the mountain freely unless absolutely necessary. I haven't heard from Su He in ages, have you guys?" (81zw.com)

"Don't you know?" Lu Xiaoyao looked at the player, "Suhe died suddenly."

How could that be?

"It seems like he used some forbidden magic. You know they can calculate, right? Zhen Po and I suspected he was trying to cheat his way out of the Zerg's location, but he got punished for it."

...

"I really don't know how I died. I just brought my junior brother some food, chatted with him for a while, and then went back. As for what happened on the way back, I don't remember..."

When Suhe recounted his death experience, he was completely baffled. "Anyway, when I regained consciousness, it seemed to be right before I died. Was that a kind of final burst of energy before death?"

Even now, Suhe breaks out in a cold sweat when he recalls the scene before his death when he couldn't control himself and frantically performed divination.

"What kind of last burst of energy?" Just looking at Suhe now, with his face drained of color as he mentions the scene before his death, she wanted to know what he had gone through.

They usually consulted about divination during the day, but at that time he stood in the middle of the room with disheveled hair, and as the hexagram was about to be formed, a chilling wind blew around him. The scene was clearly unsuitable for divination.

The calculation doesn't yield any good results!

But at this point, it was no longer under his control!

By the time Suhe realized that his actions might be suicidal, it was too late!

He could only feel that the world before him was suddenly covered by a blood-red spider web, and then torn into countless fragments.

At the same time, a sharp, stabbing pain in his eyes made him instinctively want to scream, but instead, he coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with his severed tongue. Amidst the tearing pain throughout his body, he vaguely heard a sentence in his ear—

[Senior brother, could you calculate when the Heavenly Dao will ever end?]
