[Infrastructure + Fourth Natural Disaster]
There is an old saying in Dongshan Village: Don't go out at night!
As night falls, gray mist envelops the land.
Demons run rampant, ...
Lin Xiang has always known that he is different from the other players, but his swordsman vest is essentially very similar to that of the other players.
The souls are attached to the little clay figures, and these little clay figures are condensed by spending the incense value.
There are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same, and it is impossible for the clay figures that carry the players' bodies to be exactly the same. Perhaps they also have different spiritual root attributes.
Lin Xiang originally thought that the spirit-testing ball was extremely rare, but it turned out to be very cheap and any cultivation family of a decent size could afford it.
Considering that he had summoned so many players, he spent 50 low-grade spirit stones to buy a spirit-testing ball, specifically to see if he could control the players' spiritual root attributes when making the clay figures.
If you can control it, it would be a wonderful thing.
Now, he wanted to see if there was any pattern in the randomly molded little clay figures.
Han Mu and the others almost forgot about the attributes of their spiritual roots, because they had been practicing the Pure Yang Technique for a long time and had never considered the issue of attributes.
The Pure Yang Technique is a non-attribute technique that can be practiced by any spiritual root, though a single spiritual root can only be practiced faster. It's impossible to infer the players' skill level from this.
Now that Lin Xiang mentioned it, everyone became interested again.
Master Tai Er couldn't wait to stretch out his hand, "Master Ji Ling, can you see what my attribute is?"
"Put your hands up, and then use the Pure Yang Technique to absorb the spiritual energy."
Lin Xiang commanded and said that he knew he should let the players fly without worry. It was unrealistic to tie them down with tasks. What he needed to do was to make them feel that it was profitable.
As long as we can continue to provide benefits, the players will come back no matter how far they run.
It’s not easy to survive in the world of cultivation!
Just as he was thinking, a ball of red light emerged from the spirit ball, and the red was extremely pure.
"Top-grade fire spirit root, not bad, not bad!"
This spiritual root attribute is even stronger than Lin Xiang's sword cultivator vest, which only has top-grade gold and fire dual spiritual roots.
Upon hearing this, Master Tai Er beamed with delight. "It's only a single spiritual root! Looks like I'll have to cultivate fire-attributed techniques and spells in the future. Hehe, I look forward to the day when I can turn explosions into an art form."
If he had the Ascension Order, True Man Tai Er could definitely enter the ranks of the top sects.
"Who's next?" Lin Xiang asked. He kept the spiritual root attributes of these players in mind so that he could focus on them in future sales.
For example, the mid-grade magic weapon, the Fire Crow Flag, obtained from the captive Feng Jianan can be sold to Master Tai Er when he has money. Magic weapons with matching attributes will be more powerful.
Yu Xiaoqi immediately stepped forward and said, "Let me try."
She was very confident in herself and felt that her spiritual roots were no weaker than others.
Soon, three colors of light appeared on the spirit-testing ball: golden, yellow and blue.
Now everyone in the land temple looked solemn.
The always warlike Yu Xiaoqi actually has three spiritual roots!
Lin Xiang commented, "Mid-grade gold spiritual roots, low-grade water and earth spiritual roots. Earth produces gold, gold produces water, so encountering the right technique won't necessarily lead to bad results. Cultivation is inherently against the will of heaven. Spiritual roots only represent the efficiency of cultivation, not the ultimate achievement. Many cultivators who ascended to the heavens do not have a single spiritual root."
He was worried that Yu Xiaoqi would be affected by this.
Who knew this girl was so tenacious? She raised her chin slightly and said stubbornly, "Middle-grade is middle-grade, three-series is three-series. As long as I can practice, I can prove that I am no worse than anyone else!"
She has always been very strong-willed and has become accustomed to unfavorable starts. Counterattacks and overtaking are commonplace for her.
This is not because Yu Xiaoqi is trying to show off, she really thinks so.
In many games I have played before, I can surpass many rich people and bosses who do spend money without spending any money.
The game is not simply a pile of recharge numbers, it also depends on the person playing the game.
What's more, "Ascension" has not yet had a recharge port, so even the boss finds it difficult to realize the ability to pay.
Then Han Mu and Xie Longtao were tested separately. The former had medium-grade gold and fire spiritual roots, and the latter had medium-grade earth and wood spiritual roots.
Bingxuepiaopiao conducted the test last. After she placed her palm on the spirit-testing ball, the ball actually emitted a blue and white light!
Lin Xiang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Hey, it's actually a mutant spiritual root!"
In the world of cultivation, in addition to the conventional five elements spiritual roots, there are also mutant spiritual roots such as wind, thunder, and ice.
These spiritual roots are extremely rare, and there is only one in a million.
It turns out that the name is well chosen, and there is no worry about upgrading.
Bingxuepiaopiao actually has an ice-attribute spiritual root!
"A top-grade mutant ice spiritual root. You may need a suitable cultivation method to bring out the characteristics of the spiritual root."
Mutated spiritual roots do not mean they are particularly good. The five elements spiritual roots are applicable to many exercises, while ice spiritual roots can only be used to practice specific exercises and exercises that do not require spiritual root attributes, which are very rare.
If it were at the Ascension Conference, she would definitely be fought over by various sects.
However, the location in Dongshan Village is not ideal, as there are no suitable sects nearby.
Ice Spiritual Roots are a variant of Water Spiritual Roots, so it's no wonder she was able to cultivate the Small Cloud and Rain Art to level 3. Heart and perseverance are one thing, while the harmony between spiritual roots and spells is another.
The spiritual root attributes of the five beta test players were all displayed in front of him. Each one was different, and Lin Xiang felt as happy as if he had opened a blind box of spiritual roots.
He couldn't understand for the time being why the spiritual roots of players who were created using the same summoning technique and clay figurines were so different!
The third batch of beta test players will become guinea pigs.
"It sounds good. Thank you, Lord Ji Ling." Bingxuepiaopiao politely retreated. Who doesn't want to have better spiritual roots and innate attributes?
Han Mu was still the leader at this time: "Master Ji Ling, we are new here and not very familiar with the surrounding area. Do you know of any immortal cultivation sects nearby? We plan to go there and become their disciples."
It is difficult to find the immortal fate bit by bit by yourself, so it is best to ask this mysterious-looking sacrificial spirit and land god directly.
But they didn't know that Lin Xiang was not actually a native, he just entered the game a few days earlier than them.
Fortunately, Lin Xiang was well prepared. He had looked up information about the immortal sects in Dagan during the Ascension Conference, and also purchased relevant map information in the Qingwei Sword Sect Market.
The world of cultivation is so vast that it would be impossible to move forward without a map.
Dagan is not a desert forbidden area or something. Corresponding maps are everywhere, but the time of update varies and the speed of update is slow. Some forces may have been replaced by other forces. In any case, the terrain will not change in a short time.
In response to the players' request, Lin Xiang said that this would cost extra money.
Information is also a commodity.
"I have a map of the nearby area. Do you need a copy?" Lin Xiang asked with a smile. It was very cheap to buy the map himself, but he still wanted the players to help bear this part of the cost.
Han Mu and others wanted to go out and explore, but they couldn't do it without a map, so they could only pinch their noses and nod in agreement.
"How many spirit stones are there?"
"It's not expensive, just a low-grade spirit stone."
Lin Xiang didn't really want to harvest many spirit stones from them, he just wanted to let them know that it was impossible to get anything from him for free, and they had to exchange it for equal value.
After hearing this number, the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Although everyone was not very rich, they could still pay with a spirit stone.
Lin Xiang engraved a map of Dagan in a blank jade slip, showing all the sects, towns, cultivation families, cultivation markets, and gathering places of monsters and beasts, etc., all clearly visible.
Furthermore, he explained to them, "If you're looking to learn from a master, the strongest sect in Dagan is undoubtedly the Moon Shadow Palace. However, this sect is currently under attack from multiple sides. Fahua Temple and Yaowang Sect, as you know, have already taken action. Furthermore, the Qingwei Sword Sect and Xingchen Palace to the east are eyeing the battle covetously, and are said to have already dispatched various cultivators to the battlefield. It's also possible that other sects to the south and north will also respond."
With so many top sects rushing out of the cave at the same time, the Moon Shadow Palace is no match for the overwhelming force and is obviously having a tough time.
Anyway, Lin Xiang just brought the news, and it was none of his business what they decided.
"In addition to the Moon Shadow Palace, there are two other good sects in Da Gan, namely Xiaoyao Valley and Huanhai Pavilion. The rest are small and medium-sized sects with their own characteristics."
These small and medium-sized sects must have their own strengths to be able to gain a foothold in the world of cultivation.
Some people want to be the tail of the phoenix, while others want to be the head of the chicken. Everyone has different ideas.
After listening to Ji Ling's long introduction, Han Mu and other players had a deep understanding of the surrounding area, but they still had to discuss carefully which sect to go to.
"Master Ji Ling, are you selling these magic weapons to the public?" Yu Xiaoqi asked. She wanted to own a powerful magic weapon of her own.
Lin Xiang nodded: "Of course, 200 low-grade spirit stones for each magic weapon."
This price is indeed not expensive. After all, it is only double the profit. The price is not offered at 300 or 500.
Even so, it is still unbearable for the beta test players.
One skill only requires 10 or 15 low-grade spirit stones, but one magic weapon costs 200!
Not to mention that she didn't have so many spirit stones, even if she did, she would be reluctant to buy them directly. She would have to go to other markets to compare prices and quality first, just in case they were cheaper elsewhere.
"If you can help me find enough Five Elements Essence, I can exchange it for any magic weapon." Lin Xiang added that he needed players to go out and help him obtain the raw materials for practicing the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light.
Tai Er Zhenren quickly asked, "What are the five elements of essence?"
"The Five Elements Essence is the core of the Five Elements spiritual objects. It can be obtained by decomposing it from spiritual wood, spiritual minerals, and spiritual water, or it can be collected by gathering spiritual energy. The former is faster, while the latter is slower. Young knights and lady knights can consider it as appropriate."
The way of the local tyrants is to decompose the spiritual wood and obtain the essence of the wood element.
The common practice is to gather spiritual energy according to the attributes of their own spiritual roots, gathering the five elements of essence bit by bit, which may take a long time to complete. This method of concentration and refining is limited by the richness of spiritual energy.
Therefore, some casual practitioners, when they have no other way to make money, will sacrifice their own practice time to deliberately condense the essence of the five elements, and then take them to the market to sell, and they are usually in great demand.
However, casual cultivators usually only practice in low-level spiritual veins in the wild. The spiritual energy emitted by these veins is barely enough for cultivation or planting low-level spiritual medicines. If they condense the five elements essence, the speed will be extremely slow.
Many magical instruments, magic treasures and spell cultivation require the use of the corresponding five elements essence.
Players actually don’t need to worry about spiritual energy now. The spiritual energy in the Universe Market is provided by Lin Xiang’s Universe Cave Seed, and it just takes time.
The previous tasks of collecting the five virtues have not been completely completed, and now there is another five elements essence.
It just so happens that Han Mu and the other five internal test players have all five elements combined!
If you don’t have money, you have to waste time. This is an eternal truth.
[Ding, the Dongshan Village Spirit has issued a task to you - collect the five elements of energy. Do you accept?]
[Collect Five Elements Essence: Collect enough Five Elements Essence using various methods. Mission Reward: One magical weapon of your choice. Quantity is limited, first come, first served.]
All five players immediately chose to accept the task.
There is no penalty for not completing it, and there is no limit on the number of tasks. I will talk about it next.
They have a lot of spiritual items in their hands, which are dropped after killing monsters, as well as some items found while exploring in the wild.
Lin Xiang only plans to issue this task to players above level 10. Players below level 10 should still focus on upgrading and not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
"Alright, go do your own things. Remember to be safe." Lin Xiang said cryptically, "The world outside is very chaotic right now."
He doesn't want players to act so cool and awesome that they think they are invincible as soon as they walk out of the mountain village, and then be killed by others.
Being killed is not a big deal. What matters is that players keep running out stubbornly, which easily leaks the secret of their resurrection.
Lin Xiang couldn't lock up every player. He just hoped that these players could be more stable and avoid death as much as possible.
Of course, many people do not think that it is a resurrection, but only regard it as a way to escape or a death-substitution technique.
Similar spells are not uncommon in the world of cultivation.
Lin Xiang knew that the secret would eventually be exposed, but he just hoped to delay the time as much as possible so that he could be more fully prepared.
He used an expulsion order to ask the five players to leave the land temple, and took out a set of formation flags and formation tools, preparing to set up a suitable formation for Xishan Village before dark.
“I hope Xishan Village can become a continuous source of experience for me.”
Lin Xiang only now realized how stupid he was. He was just like a beggar guarding a mountain of gold. There were so many demons and monsters attacking Dongshan Village, Huanyu Market and Xishan Village, but he set up a purely defensive formation of the Five Elements Wu Earth Array.
The monsters came over to offer experience, but he waved his hands to refuse.
What he has to do now is to set up a Five Elements Fire Array for Xishan Village!
This formation focuses on attack and its defense is relatively weak.
The so-called Bing Fire refers to pure Yang fire, which can burn invaders to ashes and has the power to restrain demons and monsters.
With it, the safety of Xishan Village will be guaranteed, and it can also bring Lin Xiang considerable experience income.
Once those blind ghosts, green-faced ghosts or monsters break into the Binghuo formation, they will inevitably be reduced to ashes.
What's more, Lin Xiang has a more ambitious goal, which is to combine the formations of Dongshan Village and Xishan Village to build a larger five-element formation in the future.
The Five Elements Wu Earth Array, plus the Five Elements Bing Fire Array, and in the future the Ren Water Array, Yi Wood Array, and Geng Metal Array will be set up. Once the five elements are complete, it will be extremely powerful.
Since we are preparing to develop, we naturally have to look further ahead!
