"Is this a movie special effect?"

“The image quality is amazing…”

"Don't tell me this is a game screenshot, or I'll beg for a beta test pass!"

"Ji Ling is so handsome, he must be an important NPC in the game!"

"Even though I'm a man, I still think I'm handsome. The NPC models in this game are really cool."

"Let me tell you, this kind of cool NPC in the early stages is just a supporting role in the middle and late stages."

"Why is no one brushing the high energy ahead? My eyes!!!!"

"Is that an earthworm??? An earthworm this big must be a monster!"

"So disgusting! I'm suddenly afraid of these kinds of virtual reality games."

"I think so too. In the past, I could just casually deal with snakes, bugs, zombies, ghosts, and so on in online games. Now, if this game is too realistic, I'm afraid I won't dare to play it."

"It's better not to go. There will be one less competitor for the internal testing spots."

The number of comments and barrages on Tai Er's live video skyrocketed, and it even quickly became a popular topic on the homepage of T Station, allowing more netizens to experience the game "Ascension".

The number of clicks is increasing, but the praise and criticism are different, and everyone has different views and opinions.

Some people, eager to play the game, immediately went to the official website and clicked the public beta pre-order button. Others were skeptical, believing it was a massive marketing stunt and not the VR game it was rumored to be.

Immediately afterwards, Han Mu, Xie Longtao, Yu Xiaoqi, and Bingxuepiaopiao uploaded their own edited versions. They were not professional up-loaders, so the editing was not smooth, but the advantage was that the materials were fresh.

With so many fresh materials put together, the image of an ancient remote mountain village is outlined.

There are more and more netizens on the official forum, and everyone is urging the five of them to come out and write guides or reveal information, so that they can save time after waiting for others to join.

Han Mu is just such a player who likes to make guides and share his experiences with others. In the past, he often made guides for novice players of single-player games.

So during work, he secretly slacked off and wrote a simple guide of several thousand words, and even planned to add corresponding pictures after getting home from get off work.

First and foremost, creating your character is crucial. For the nickname section, I recommend giving yourself a Chinese-style name to avoid being ridiculously funny when others call you that, and losing the immersive gaming experience.

[Of course, if you don't care, just do whatever you want.]

After entering the game, we spawn at the Earth God Temple in Dongshan Village. Here, a mysterious and powerful spirit dwells. He can easily deal with invading ghosts and monsters, and he teaches us the techniques for cultivating immortality. These techniques are hidden on pillars within the temple, and you can learn them by reading the words on the pillars...

In fact, he has only been in the game for one day, and the content he has access to is relatively limited. Even the early strategies may be wrong and need to be corrected slowly later.

After the guide was released, it was quickly discovered by netizens on the forum. The more people browsed, the stronger their desire became, and they couldn't wait to get a helmet right away!

[Hidden Dragon in the Abyss]: It sounds like the gameplay is pretty good, you can practice your own skills.

[Hua Luo]: If you are willing to fit in, then fit in. If you don’t want to fit in, then forget it. As long as I don’t feel awkward, that’s fine.

[Evil Unbeaten]: Is there a GM or customer service in the game? I've been trying to contact this company for ages and can't find their contact information. If you could, could you please tell me when the public beta starts? I can't wait!

[The First Person to AFK]: Have you ever considered killing that sacrificial spirit? I think killing him will definitely give you good equipment.

[Daidai Super Cute]: Can you find a partner in the game? Can players develop feelings for NPCs?

Many questions came to Han Mu, making it difficult for him to answer.

The game is too short and many issues have not been touched upon at all.

…

Just as the game "Ascension" was being hotly discussed on official forums and even on the Internet, the protagonist Lin Xiang had already arrived at the forest under the setting sun.

The miasma here has risen. If mortals and beasts are enveloped by it, they will not only get lost but also be poisoned to death.

He knew that he had to speed up, otherwise after the sun completely set, a hundred demons would parade at night.

Of course it is possible to eliminate the ghosts, but Lin Xiang does not want to get stuck in the enemy camp. Who knows if there are more powerful monsters in the mountains and forests.

Following the stream back to its source, we arrived at the cave entrance. The Five Elements Reversal Formation that had been set up earlier was still there, but two wild beasts with slightly revived blood were circling in the formation.

They were obviously no match for the mandrills. The mandrills could destroy a complete formation, but this pig and centipede were fooled around by them.

Lin Xiang did not kill them, but chose to go directly into the cave. Moving the spiritual veins was the most important thing, and he could not waste time on ordinary beasts.

These two beasts were his experience powerhouses. Each use of the Coiling Dragon Whip consumed a large amount of spiritual power, and if he was running out of spiritual power right now, he could use these to level up. He was less than 100 experience points away from level 8 anyway, so these two beasts should at least provide 100.

The pigs in the pigsty are fattened before being slaughtered.

In the cold and damp cave, Lin Xiang's divine body appeared, emitting light all over his body, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

The Panlong Whip that was originally hidden in his dantian appeared in his hand as he thought about it. Spiritual power continued to be injected into the Panlong Whip. Then he used his induction to search for the location of the micro spiritual vein. The Panlong Whip really turned into a two-foot-long dragon of light, rolling up the nearby land and the spiritual vein!

A big pit appeared inside the cave again, and the scattered spiritual energy was firmly bound by the light dragon.

Lin Xiang thought to himself that this thing was not good. The level required was too high, and his spiritual power was not enough. It was like a three-year-old child playing with a big knife. If he was not careful, he would hurt himself.

Unfortunately, the Panlong Whip can only be maintained in this way. Once it runs out of spiritual power, it will return to the Dantian, and the micro spiritual vein that has been moved out will fall to the ground and is likely to disappear directly.

He was doing two things at once. The Golden Spirit Sword Ball flew into the Five Elements Reversal Formation with a whoosh. The two beasts fell down immediately, unable to withstand the crushing attack of the high level.

The spiritual power value that was originally at its lowest was fully restored the moment the level was increased, but was then quickly consumed again.

Seeing that he could only hold on for five or six breaths, Lin Xiang didn't care about the incense value, and directly used the incense value to activate the earth escape skill and quickly returned to the land temple.

Lin Xiang had already thought about it before. If there is a spiritual vein, he would place it in the backyard of the land temple. This way it would be a little more hidden and also convenient for growing spiritual medicines.

He swung the Panlong Whip lightly, and within his jurisdiction, he could control the ground to sink into a corresponding large pit, and the two matched perfectly.

"Phew, that was a close call!"

As long as you are within your jurisdiction, all problems are no longer problems.

Just like planting a field, he placed the micro spiritual vein there, and the Panlong Whip, which consumed a lot of spiritual power, was immediately taken back into Lin Xiang's dantian.

Originally, the spiritual energy of Dongshan Village was slowly transferred from other places through the air.

Now, new spiritual energy is emerging from the underground spiritual veins, and wisps of invisible spiritual energy are spreading around the village, being quietly absorbed by the villagers, livestock and plants.

They have no way to convert spiritual energy, but living in a place with abundant spiritual energy for a long time can subtly transform their bodies.

Lin Xiang felt relieved. Just as he was about to confine the spiritual energy to the village, a reminder suddenly popped up on the game panel.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the Cave Heaven Seed and starting the long-term task - building a blessed cave heaven! ]

Isn’t this a miniature spiritual vein?

How could it be the seed of the cave?

Lin Xiang was extremely stunned. His heart was filled with turmoil and he couldn't believe what he saw.

Even if he didn't know what the Cave Heaven Seed was, he could guess it from the name and the tasks of the game system.

In mythology, there are ten major caves, thirty-six minor caves and seventy-two blessed places. Not every cave can be called a cave heaven or a blessed place.

Obviously, the seed of the cave heaven is the seed of the cave heaven and blessed land. If it develops well, it may form another cave heaven and blessed land.

Any blessed place is full of spiritual energy and has thousands of magical features. Those who preside over the caves are all free and unrestrained immortals who are far away from the mortal world.

"No wonder that small cave can attract gods, it turns out to be the prototype of a paradise!" An idea flashed through Lin Xiang's mind, connecting things together.

There are very few undiscovered paradises at present, and any paradise takes a long time to grow and develop before it is finally formed.

He silently memorized the cave in his mind. Since it could give birth to the seeds of the cave, it must be special. Maybe it was the most beautiful place in the entire Ten Thousand Mountains.

Mountains are not high, but they are magical if there are immortals.

The Ten Thousand Mountains are a famous mountain range in the Gan Kingdom and even in the Southern Continent. However, there is not a single paradise here. It turns out that it was born on the edge of the mountain range!

The most famous of the blessed places is Wangwu Mountain Cave Heaven. Other famous places include Weiyu Mountain Cave Heaven, Huashan West Xuan Cave Mansion, Qingcheng Mountain, Chicheng Mountain, Luofu Mountain, etc.

Another reason why blessed places are highly respected nowadays is that they can produce unique innate spiritual energy and help monks and immortals comprehend the innate rules.

The Cave Heaven Seed that Lin Xiang obtained had just been conceived. If he could grow with it, he would surely have a more thorough understanding of the spatial rules and even other rules.

In just that moment, Lin Xiang discovered that the creatures in his jurisdiction had become much more agile.

Or maybe this is just another model of everyone rising to prominence.

If the innate spiritual energy is not treated specially, it will turn into common acquired spiritual energy.

On this three-acre land in Dongshan Village, Lin Xiang bound the spiritual energy to prevent it from dissipating to other places.

At the same time, a space of paradise appeared in the backyard of the land temple, with a piece of land about several dozen centimeters in size, which was really a seed.

Lin Xiang didn't know how to make it grow and develop quickly. There was no hint on the task side, and he couldn't take the initiative to ask others.

The only method he could think of at the moment was to improve the ecology of the paradise, plant some spiritual plants, and let them promote and improve each other.

Spiritual plants need spiritual energy to grow, but they also absorb and exhale spiritual energy and feed it back to that world.

"Who would have thought that one day I would become the master of a blessed land?"

Lin Xiang couldn't stop smiling, and he suddenly wanted to thank the mandrill.

If the mandrill had not broken the formation of the God's Villa, he would not have been able to trace it back.

He thought about it and planted the Xuanling ginseng, hundred-year-old Polygonatum, Shuilingcao, Baicao Lu, and Hanfengye that he had obtained before into the small space of the cave seed.

Since the Cave Heaven Seed is connected to Dongshan Village, his divine power can also be used in the Cave Heaven space, which is also considered as his jurisdiction.

"We need to give it a catchy name. What's it called?"

Lin Xiang fell into deep thought.

It definitely can’t be called Dongshan Dongtian, as it sounds too rustic.

"Why not call it the Universe Cave Heaven? This name is grand enough, and it doesn't differ from other blessed places..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the earthworms curled up under the land temple crawl out of the ground, and then excitedly drill into the cave space.

However, it was too huge, and the entrance and internal space of the cave were very small, so there was no way to squeeze in.

After all the trouble, the demonized earthworm could only stay outside and breathe in the spiritual energy emitted from the cave.

These creatures are very sensitive to spiritual energy.

Lin Xiang simply concealed the cave seed so that players and villagers could not sense or approach it.

This is his second biggest secret, second only to time travel.

Once other sacrificial spirits or cultivators discover that there are seeds of the blessed land here, they will definitely be snatched away and killed!

Whoever gets this good thing will keep it secret. It is a crime to possess a treasure, and wealth should not be revealed to others.

Lin Xiang looked at the large earthworm cultivating next to him and urged, "Please turn over this small piece of open space in the backyard."

He planned to plant a small piece of spiritual grain in the place with the most spiritual energy. This piece of spiritual grain was not for eating, but for larger-scale cultivation in the future.

To tame such a guardian beast does not mean letting it lie down and sleep in the ground every day. It must be brought out and used when necessary.

The monster-level earthworms turned the soil easily and finished their work without even making any noise.

Lin Xiang looked at the small piece of land in front of him. The spiritual energy in the soil was still relatively scarce, so he used the Xiaoyunyu Jue he had just learned.

A small dark cloud that condensed the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly appeared above the spiritual field, and then turned into a drizzle of rain.

Raindrops contain spiritual energy and penetrate into the turned earth.

Lin Xiang planted the one hundred spiritual grain seeds from the brocade bag into the land, waiting for them to sprout.

Rice planting requires concentrated seedling cultivation first and then transplanting.

After the rice seedlings grow up, the spiritual fields in Dongshan Village will probably be more abundant and can be used for large-scale planting.

Normal seedling cultivation would cover them with a layer of wood ash, but Lin Xiang didn't need to do that now. He just needed to perform the Small Cloud and Rain Technique a few times every day.

After watering the field, he used up the incense points and used the innate skill of the God of Land - a bountiful harvest - on his spiritual field.

If the crops grown by the god of land do not produce a good harvest, he would probably find a place to crash into the ground and die.

After finishing these things, Lin Xiang sealed off the entire backyard. That place was his private territory and no players or villagers were allowed to enter.

After finishing these things, he finally had time to look at his NPC panel.

Kill a lv.6 wild boar and gain 80 experience points.

Kill the lv.9 Yin Lei Centipede and gain 120 experience points.

The two monsters that were originally trapped in the Five Elements Reversal Formation turned into 200 experience points, allowing him to successfully reach level 8.

The level increases so quickly in the early stages of the game that a large number of players will be stuck once they reach lv. 19.

Lin Xiang clicked on the upgrade kit, not caring too much about what would come out.

The biggest harvest, the Cave Heaven Seed, has been obtained!

When the brocade bag was opened, there was another jade slip.

However, this time the jade slips did not record any techniques or spells, but three different recipes, namely New Year's wine, evil-repelling powder and ghost-repelling pills.

New Year's wine refers to the wine brewed at the turn of the Lunar New Year. It has the effect of strengthening the body after ordinary people drink it, and it can speed up the operation of spiritual power after monks drink it.

Both Bi'e Powder and Que Gui Pills are elixir formulas. Wearing Bi'e Powder on the body can emit the disgusting aura of ghosts, making it difficult for ghosts to approach.

Queguiwan is to be swallowed, and after swallowing it, it has the ability to drive away ghosts.

"It all looks good. Let the players collect these raw materials tomorrow." Lin Xiang was very satisfied with this. Both players and ordinary people can use it. It is a good thing that can greatly increase the survival probability of the villagers and even nearby humans.

He plans to make these three items the signature products of Dongshan Village!

The recipe is ready, the alchemy furnace is matched with the earth fire, and all that's missing is the raw materials.

Currently, players are relatively weak and few in number, so they cannot go deep into the Ten Thousand Mountains. The raw materials needed for alchemy are basically in the deep mountains and forests.

Lin Xiang sat cross-legged in the void, and strands of new innate spiritual energy were absorbed before they had time to degenerate into acquired spiritual energy.

The Coiled Dragon Whip in the Dantian drives the Pure Yang Art to operate continuously with each breath.

"With sufficient spiritual energy, the operating speed increases by nearly one-third."

This cave seed has just begun to absorb and exhale spiritual energy. The abundance of spiritual energy is still far from those of the real famous mountains and rivers. Even so, it is surprising enough.

It used to take more than forty minutes to practice a Zhoutian Chunyang Jue, but now it only takes thirty minutes, and it will even be reduced to twenty minutes after proficiency increases.

Lin Xiang was very satisfied with this. With spiritual energy, he could better transform Dongshan Village.

…

[There are 99 believers in the divine domain. Congratulations to the player for obtaining 99 experience points.]

Just after midnight, the believers' settlement was carried out on the game panel.

This time Lin Xiang was a little surprised, because there were only 94 villagers in Dongshan Village, but the system counted 99 people, probably including the 5 beta test players.

Game players are basically non-believers. At most, they believe in the existence of land gods in the game world, and this is included in the calculation.

Lin Xiang was of course very happy to have gained some extra experience points for no reason, and he didn't want to care about anything at all.

Instead, when the night was quiet, more and more prayers appeared in his ears.

During the day everyone was busy with housework, and Lin Xiang was also very busy. Only now that everyone was at home did people continue to burn incense and even pray in their dreams.

A thin woman knelt at the foot of her family's shrine, burning three incense sticks in her hands, muttering to herself, "Land God, please bless us with a good harvest this year. If we don't harvest more grain, the government won't be able to collect the taxes..."

Another young couple prayed in their sleep: "God of the Land, please bless me to have a healthy child! Please don't let him get sick..."

"The wheat will be ripe soon. I hope we have a good harvest."

"I hope these newly hatched chicks grow up smoothly. I'll collect a few more eggs to sell in Qifeng Town."

"I hope no monsters attack the village anymore. The eldest and second oldest are gone. What's going to happen to this family?"

"The head of the family has been in poor health, but he has no money to go to town to see a doctor for medicine. God of the Land, please bless him to get better soon."

These wishes come from all directions, carrying the most simple and unpretentious wishes of the people.

They don't seek overnight wealth or extravagant wealth. They face the earth and work hard every day, just hoping to meet the needs of their family.

Or even just surviving, not living.

As the land god of the nearby area, Lin Xiang heard the believers' prayers and received the incense points and experience points provided by the believers. He decided to fulfill their wishes and make everything better within his ability.

The two skills of abundant harvest and thriving livestock are used alternately. The wheat and corn that are about to be harvested have quietly increased their yields, and the pigs, sheep, chickens and dogs in the village have all benefited.

As for cattle and horses, there were none at all.

Not only that, Lin Xiang also appeared above the land temple and began to perform the Small Cloud and Rain Technique in turn according to the area.

A drizzle of rain fell from the sky with spiritual energy, covering the entire Dongshan Village in a mist.

The villagers did not come into direct contact with the raindrops, but the spiritual energy they breathed in while sleeping quietly improved their bodies.

Children are becoming smarter and healthier, adults are becoming stronger and more powerful, and the elderly's long-standing illnesses are alleviated.

The plants that were wetted benefited the most, and the peppers, tomatoes, and beans in the vegetable garden all had a good harvest and precipitation.

Anyway, he could restore his spiritual power by practicing later, so he didn't save it.

After finishing all this, Lin Xiang suddenly felt that there seemed to be several inexplicable auras outside his body, which were the auras of the five virtues!

Merit, hidden virtue, blessings, holiness, and moral energy cannot be seen or touched, but they do exist.

The Panlong Whip quietly absorbed the energy of the five virtues, and the damaged areas quietly recovered a little.

Lin Xiang's heart was filled with enlightenment.

Doing good deeds, helping others, and being kind and doing good deeds will gain the recognition of the heavenly way.

As the saying goes, a family that accumulates good will have more blessings. A family that accumulates good deeds and blessings will have more good fortune.

Dongshan Village was silent, the villagers were fast asleep, even those suffering from chronic coughs or pain had peaceful expressions, enjoying the rare tranquility.

…

The next morning, the five players in the land temple couldn't wait to go online!

Bingxuepiaopiao wishes she could stay in the game 24 hours a day, and she appears almost as soon as the time limit is up.

"I feel like I'm addicted. This game is poisonous!" She said seriously to Yu Xiaoqi next to her.

Yu Xiaoqi rubbed his hands together, "Who says it's not? I've been itching to leave the game for eight hours, wondering if there have been any changes in the village during that time. I'm going out to explore today. Anyone want to come with me?"

Players can't stay in the village forever. We've already spoken with the NPCs yesterday, and there aren't any quests for now. The only hidden quest hasn't been revealed yet, so let's go out and explore the world.

They say the world outside is very dangerous, and you really have to see it with your own eyes.

Master Tai Er immediately signed up: "I want to go, I want to go! The village is too small, let's go out and see if we can kill the monsters."

"You have to bring a weapon. Do you have a weapon now?" Han Mu reminded him. Anyway, he was still unarmed.

A tattered and rusty hatchet suddenly appeared in Xie Longtao's hand. He said proudly, "This is the reward I got for helping an old man repair a fence yesterday. It can still be used briefly."

Yu Xiaoqi thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. "Then I'll go to Blacksmith Sun and see if I can buy some cheap weapons. It's really hard to go out without weapons."

The game was very realistic, and we had only learned the techniques, without any moves or spells.

"Let's go together then so we can take care of each other." Bingxuepiaopiao said with courage. She actually wanted to stay in the village, but she just didn't want to be alone.

Han Mu suddenly found that the spiritual energy around him became abundant. He actually gained a lot of experience points and proficiency in martial arts after being offline for eight hours.

He turned his head to look at the statue on the tribute table and asked casually, "Master Jiling, besides the hidden mission of collecting the five virtues, is there anything else you need our help with today?"

If you have it, you have it. If you don’t have it, you don’t have it.

As a result, Lin Xiang suddenly appeared from the statue, catching them off guard.

He has always maintained the tone of a mysterious NPC, letting players come to him rather than looking for players himself.

This was also the first time that the player and Lin Xiang had such close communication.

Lin Xiang's body was floating in the air. He was wearing a scholar's robe that was exactly the same as the statue's. He looked gentle and refined, except that he lacked the coiled dragon whip.

Tai Er Zhenren was shocked. Although they knew that Lin Xiang was a god, his elusive way still scared them.

Yu Xiaoqi took a step back.

She immediately adjusted her attitude and took the initiative to ask, "Lord of the Land, what can we do to help you?"

"Dongshan Village is rich in spiritual energy. I want to grow spiritual grains, so I need to open up a few acres of spiritual fields outside the village. You can use the power of the earthworm monster to reclaim the wasteland and transform it into spiritual fields."

"Also, I want to refine Qingxin Pills and other elixirs, which require spiritual herbs such as Xuanling Ginseng that are over ten years old. You can go to the mountains and forests outside the village to search for and collect them."

Lin Xiang deliberately made his way of speaking closer to that of the ancients and could not use any popular language, as that would reveal his identity.

When these words fell into the ears of the five players, they immediately became: [The landowner of Dongshan Village has issued a mission to you. Do you accept it?]

[Mission 1: Open up a spiritual field. Players must open up a spiritual field outside of Dongshan Village. The mission reward is unknown.]

[Mission 2: Gathering Spiritual Herbs. Players enter the outskirts of the Shiwandashan Mountains to gather designated spiritual herbs. The mission reward is unknown.]

The rewards for both tasks are unknown, and players are both confused and extremely curious.

Especially the farming enthusiast Bingxuepiaopiao's eyes lit up!

She originally thought that she would be forced to follow the traditional way of playing the game by killing monsters, leveling up and changing maps, but she didn't expect that there would actually be a farming segment that she liked.

Immortal farming begins with reclaiming wasteland!

But when she thought about having to work with the earthworm monster that she hated and feared the most, Bingxuepiaopiao felt a little worried.

Ordinary earthworms are okay, but earthworms that big are almost fatal.

Yu Xiaoqi saw her worry and fear, so he encouraged her, "There's no time limit, and no penalty for failing the mission, so just take it. We'll complete it together and open up all the spiritual fields together."

True Man Tai Er also agreed: "Only children make choices. We should accept all of them. How about we go to the forest to collect herbs first, and then cultivate the spiritual fields after returning?"

There is no telling what dangers there are outside. Getting lost in the mountains alone is a small matter, but encountering a powerful monster that you cannot resist is a real problem.

After Lin Xiang released the task, he began to consider how to reward the players.

His skills, equipment, even spirit stones and money can be used as rewards, but of course the most valuable are experience points and favorability.

The NPC template is actually quite complex and can issue countless tasks, but the rewards are capped.

The experience points rewarded from tasks issued to a single player each day shall not exceed the total experience points required for the player to level up. The total experience points of tasks issued by oneself shall be three times the experience points of one's own level.

In other words, if Master Tai Er needs 800 experience points to upgrade to level 4 now, then the task reward Lin Xiang gives him must be less than 800 points.

No matter how many players complete the task, the experience reward that Lin Xiang can give out in a single day is 1800 times 3, which is 5400 points.

There are only 5 players in the internal test now, and there will be some left even if all the players are assigned to them.

If the number of players increases in the future, we must control the degree and control the number of tasks that can be accepted, so that we can be sure that we will not be able to give rewards after the tasks are issued.

These mission experiences are not deducted from Lin Xiang's own experience bar, but are directly released by the game system.

Just like the other NPCs in Dongshan Village, they don't have much money themselves, but they can reward players with experience points, copper coins, silver, etc.

If Lin Xiang is willing, he can give these players enough experience points to help them level up quickly.

Lin Xiang asked again: "Young heroes, do you accept the mission?"

These players thought he was an ordinary NPC and could discuss anything they wanted in front of him, but in fact, they could understand everything he said.

Faced with the urging of the land god, Han Mu and others immediately chose to accept all of them, not wanting to miss the rare opportunity.

No matter what the task is, accept it.

After this group of players came out of the land temple, they vaguely noticed that Dongshan Village had changed.

The buildings were exactly the same as yesterday, but they looked much more beautiful. Every villager looked much better, as if the world had suddenly become clearer.

Wang Xiuyuan, who used to use a crutch, no longer needs it, and there are fewer wrinkles on his face.

Village chief Wang Minghai touched the wound on his chest and said to the others, "I feel that my injury has healed and there is no hidden danger."

"My old cold legs don't hurt anymore."

"When I woke up this morning, my mother stopped coughing. I was so scared that I rushed to her room to check on her."

"Grandpa, I can have two bowls of porridge today!"

Everyone was surprised, and they could clearly feel the relaxation in their bodies.

Their joy was contagious to the players, and they couldn't help but feel happy for them.

Last night, Xie Longtao saw the poor life of the residents in these mountain villages. They only had two meals a day, and there were not many grains of rice in the meals. They were full of various wild vegetables, corn, sorghum, and sweet potatoes.

Under such circumstances, it was quite difficult for the villagers to be willing to give a bowl of rice to themselves and others.

"Uncle Village Chief, we are going to the mountains outside to look for herbs. Is there anything you can help us bring back?" Yu Xiaoqi asked with a burning gaze. This was her usual routine when playing games. If she wanted to go to a place, she would take on all the tasks there to avoid going back and forth.

Wang Minghai didn't know the strength of these "Yellow Turban Warriors" who had come down to earth to experience tribulations, so he simply warned them, "Not yet. Be careful when you go into the mountains and forests. There are many wild animals in that forest, so don't go too deep. If you get lost, follow the stream down there. There is a Xishan Village over there."

"Don't worry, we won't get lost!"

Yu Xiaoqi is very confident. Players all have small maps. This time going to the forest is just a simple way to expand the map and they will not get stuck in it directly.

The group went to the village blacksmith Sun and bought knives, swords, bows and arrows, shields and other weapons and protective gear at a low price. In fact, blacksmith Sun could only make some farm tools needed by the villagers, and the quality of these things was very average.

Han Mu, Tai Er Zhenren, Bingxuepiaopiao, Xie Longtao and others each brought some drinking water and food in their game packages, and walked towards the forest with excitement and nervousness.

The villagers knew that these young men were different from themselves, and they were still nervous and worried.

At the same time, Lin Xiang put on his vest.

Then, a swordsman named Lin Han appeared in an uninhabited place outside Dongshan Village.

I hope I can't put them all in one basket. I have to go and look for them myself. Otherwise, it will be difficult to collect so many kinds of spiritual medicines. By the way, I can also kill some demon beasts and monsters to level up.

Lin Xiang also had another goal, which was to see if there were any cultivation forces near Dongshan Village. If so, he would have to consider the next route.

He believed that there must be various spiritual medicines in this forest. Players can already sense spiritual energy and have identification skills. Regardless of whether they are among the herbs required for the mission, they can collect them first.

Lin Xiang did not serve as a bodyguard for the players. After all, those people could be resurrected in the land temple if they died.

Without experiencing danger, there will be no urgency to become stronger.

His first stop was the cave near the former villa of the gods. Since it could breed the seeds of the cave, there might be some other spiritual medicines outside.

"I hope they haven't all been eaten by wild beasts and monsters."

The elixir is rich in spiritual energy and is a fatal temptation for wild beasts who want to cultivate into monsters.

Monsters with a little intelligence will choose to wait until the spiritual medicine is ripe before eating it, but some monsters are worried about the long wait and will eat whatever they find, regardless of whether it is ripe or not.

Normally, the range of a lv. 8 player's spiritual awareness is very narrow, perhaps only about ten meters in radius.

But Lin Xiang is a god, his spiritual awareness is more than ten times that of an ordinary player, and can reach almost a hundred meters.

Such a powerful spiritual consciousness should be able to be further improved if it is further cultivated and refined.

After a thorough search, Lin Xiang gained very little.

I found a few roots of ginseng and Polygonatum, but they were not yet effective as elixirs.

Even so, he still chose to dig up these herbs with their roots, ready to put them into the cave space, to be nourished by spiritual energy day and night, maybe they could break free from their shackles and become spiritual medicines!

Although the search range of spiritual consciousness is very large, the consumption is also very high, and you must rest after using it for a while.

Lin Xiang knew that he was faster and stronger than the other players, so he went deeper into the forest to explore.

The more remote a place is, the more abundant the spiritual energy is, and the more likely it is to grow spiritual medicines.

In this way, he followed the spiritual energy and gradually came to the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The number of wild beasts here suddenly increased, and there were even traces of monsters.

Lin Xiang didn't want to fight fearlessly, so whenever his spiritual sense discovered a monster, he would choose to avoid it.

"Hey, there are actually some tranquilizing flowers here!"

The main ingredient of the Qingxin Pills that can restore spiritual power is the Ningshen Flower. Once you find the main ingredient, the rest of the ingredients will be much easier to collect.

Lin Xiang carefully sensed the surroundings and after making sure there were no other monsters, he picked the Tranquilizing Flower, dug up the roots, and prepared to replant it.

Wild herbs have stronger medicinal properties, so growing them yourself is more convenient and saves time.

Just as he bent down to dig out the roots of the tranquilizing flower, a figure rushed over and attacked him from behind.

Just as the huge claws were about to pounce on him, Lin Xiang leaned to the side, and the Golden Spirit Sword Ball hidden in front of his body suddenly appeared, which was equivalent to the monster running into itself!

The several-meter-long tiger thought it had succeeded in its sneak attack, but ended up crashing into the sword blade, with the entire Golden Spirit Sword embedded in the tiger's shoulder.

This monster grew up in battle. Being injured did not make it surrender. Instead, it opened its bloody mouth, kicked the ground with its thick hind legs, and used a powerful tiger tail to change the direction of its body. It twisted its body forcibly and pounced towards Lin Xiang.

It was almost always successful in stealth hunting, but this time it didn't expect that a mere human could predict the sneak attack in advance. When it approached, its tiger paw touched the ground without making any sound.

But Lin Xiang was on guard
