When Feng Yinpei found the name she had chosen on the third batch of internal testers' list, she became very excited.

She was one of the first netizens to pay attention to the game "Ascension".

I signed up when "Ascension" was first tested, but I was never selected, which made me feel really bad.

Fortunately, she was successfully selected this time, so she gave her character this nickname, which was a reversal of her real name, and wanted to see if the NPCs could pronounce it correctly.

"I hope I'll have better luck this time. I'll see if the game world lives up to the hype."

Guan Yinpei was ready to use all the strategies he saw in the forum as soon as possible.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the virtual helmet to be delivered.

Meanwhile, player Bo Mu was also sorting out his other game accounts. Since he was planning on playing Ascension, he decided to get rid of his other accounts to avoid any worries.

Her long-held dream has been to travel the world with a sword, fight for justice, punish evil and promote good, and deal with injustices in the martial arts world and even in the marketplace.

Martial arts novels and TV dramas left a deep impression on Mu during her childhood, and she was extremely envious of the various female heroes in the novels.

This time she finally had the opportunity to enter the world of cultivation. The goal she set for herself was to go out more and help more sisters in need.

When you are alive, you should act according to your heart!

In the small rental house, a young man wearing glasses jumped up from his computer chair excitedly.

"I finally made the cut! Even if I become a game influencer, occasionally posting ads and selling some gear and resources to my boss, it'll be better than working 996 all day long!"

"Resign, I want to resign!"

His name was Wan Xu. When he was born, a fortune teller said he lacked the element of fire. His family thought for a moment and simply named him Xu. After all, nine suns could bake the world, so there was no reason to lack fire.

Wan Xu, full of confidence, immediately took out the same attitude as when he took the college entrance examination, took out a notebook and pen, and began to sift through the vast amount of information on the official website, obtaining useful information and writing it down.

He wanted to show off his talents in the game and escape from his current embarrassing reality.

…

Lin Xiang, who selected the players, specially opened a special section for these players on the official website of the game, and only players with gaming helmets can chat.

This makes it convenient for them to release internal game information so that it will not be hidden by messages from netizens.

Now the attention to "Ascension" is getting higher and higher. There is almost a post every second in the game forum. Many valuable posts are drowned out and fail to play their due value.

In this section, netizens can only browse posts and do not have the right to reply.

Internal test players can exchange intelligence, transmit information, or barter here, etc.

After finishing this matter, Lin Xiang left the game forum.

Outside the land temple, there was a constant rumbling of thunder, dark clouds covered the sky, electric snakes danced, and the wind howled. The mighty power of heaven made all demons and monsters dare not appear.

The residents of Dongshan Village are rushing to collect clothes and dry grain, as they all know that summer rainstorms are coming.

The dark clouds rolled away into the distance, and the strong wind did not weaken at all, but instead continued to grow stronger.

The thatch on the roofs of some villagers was even blown away!

Fortunately, Lin Xiang has been asking players to help build new houses, and most of the villagers have moved into clean and bright brick houses.

Even so, the banging of doors and windows continued to be heard.

The chickens and ducks in the pen were all scared to death by the thunder.

Thunder and lightning are extremely masculine and powerful, and are the nemesis of all evil.

The gray fog that was supposed to spread was delayed due to the arrival of thunder and lightning.

"Could it be that someone is going through a tribulation?"

Lin Xiang has been in the game world for so long, but he has never seen a thunderstorm covering such a large area.

Normally, thunderstorms occur in a small area, but now not only his jurisdiction, but also the Ten Thousand Mountains in the distance are tightly shrouded in dark clouds as black as ink.

Bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, eclipsing the heaven and earth!

Several seconds after the explosion of lightning appeared, the deafening thunder finally arrived.

At this time, the villagers of Dongshan Village and Xishan Village can only stay at home and pray silently, praying that God will not show his power and praying that the land god will bless them.

On a windy and thundering night, Lin Xiang's incense value increased rapidly.

I just spent 500 incense points to make a clay figurine, and now I have earned a lot more.

I don’t know how long it took, but raindrops as big as beans appeared like a river flowing back from the sky, and the whole world was shrouded in mist.

Players have no way to go out in this kind of weather and can only stay in the house, daydreaming and practicing.

In previous games, weather conditions were either insignificant or added a negative buff, such as slowed movement, health loss, or increased fatigue.

But in this game, heavy rain does prevent them from traveling.

The players were soaked by the rain, but fortunately there was no sickness setting, otherwise many people would have caught a cold.

Lin Xiang had no intention of refining the weapon at this moment. An inexplicable irritation enveloped his heart, making it impossible for him to sit quietly.

So he had to patrol his jurisdiction alone to see the situation of his land.

The players, villagers, and their three demon pets worked day and night. It can be said that the surroundings have undergone earth-shaking changes, and there is no longer the desolate and bleak feeling at the beginning.

Even the land that has not been used yet has all the weeds and dead grass pulled out, which at least makes it look more pleasing to the eye.

In such thunderstorms, even the water-attributed clam monsters dared not surface, instead remaining in the pond behind the Earth Temple to cultivate. The fear of thunder was etched deep within their blood.

"We already have five acres of spiritual farmland. Let's plant silver arrow grass in the remaining acres to enhance the soil's fertility."

Lin Xiang discovered that the spiritual fields in the valley were continuous, and two acres of land were planted with spiritual grain seedlings.

Considering the hundreds of players expected to arrive soon, he didn't dare expand the Spirit Valley's planting area, fearing it would run out of spiritual energy. After all, it had only been created a short time ago, and already needed to provide spiritual energy to himself, the players, the formation, and the various spiritual plants, spirit valleys, and spirit beasts, reaching the limit of what a small spirit vein could provide.

Many small sects and cultivation families use a mix of multiple small spiritual veins to build their base camps. Medium-sized spiritual veins are simply not something that ordinary people can defend.

Now the Cave Heaven Seed is getting stronger day by day. The wisp of innate spiritual energy it produces can be decomposed into hundreds of wisps of acquired spiritual energy, and the acquired spiritual energy automatically dissipates into the five elements spiritual energy.

In other words, the spiritual energy output of the Cave Heaven Seed is actually 1:500, which is very efficient!

It is precisely because of this that the small Universe Cave Heaven can support Lin Xiang’s ambition to create a world of cultivation in a place where there are no spiritual veins.

Whether it is the market town or the sect of cultivation, the spiritual veins are protected strictly and are kept secret.

They will never discuss with others where their spiritual veins are hidden underground, nor will they publicly reveal the level of their spiritual veins. The best that cultivators can do is guess based on the abundance of spiritual energy.

So even if Lin Xiang doesn't have a spiritual vein, he can still disguise himself and go there. He can just set up a restriction underground and pretend that there is a spiritual vein hidden there.

As he walked and looked around, he felt a little dissatisfied with the ecology in the area under his jurisdiction.

Perhaps due to the frequent activities of players, there are no wild creatures here, let alone any spiritual beasts.

We walked and stopped along the way, and before we knew it, we arrived at the Longxi River.

Due to the heavy rain, the small Longxi River began to rise and became turbid.

"Maybe we should make good use of this river and widen and deepen it?" Lin Xiang had no idea for the time being and didn't know how to use it. Even if it was used to raise fish and shrimp, it would be better than leaving it empty.

At this moment, his uneasiness intensified, and he had no idea what was about to happen.

The "disaster avoidance" occupational characteristic of the land god began to take effect, making Lin Xiang's back chill.

"What's going on? Where does the danger come from?"

He was standing within his own jurisdiction and could protect himself even if a high-level cultivator came, but the feeling of being targeted by a behemoth was too uncomfortable.

Lin Xiang simply took out the Panlong Whip from his dantian and held it tightly in his hand. The power of the incense was ready to be unleashed, and he spread his spiritual consciousness as far as possible to find the source of the threat he felt.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from a distance.

That was not the sound of thunder and lightning in the sky, it was more like a flash flood!

Lin Xiang decisively ascended into the air, and then discovered a raging flood washing down from the upper reaches of the Longxi River. Normally no more than a meter or two deep, the water level of the Longxi River had surged, with the crests alone exceeding five meters, illuminated by the lightning and making it look terrifying.

The most important thing is that there is a dark figure in the waves, which makes Lin Xiang unable to see clearly.

The mountain torrents came quickly and suddenly. Fortunately, there were no buildings or farmlands in Dongshan Village. There was only a small path for fetching water and washing clothes.

Lin Xiang didn't know what would happen in the middle and lower reaches, so he immediately used his divine power to widen the water surface of his section of Longxi River so that the mountain torrent could pass smoothly without destroying the surrounding area.

Just as waves of mountain torrents reached his jurisdiction, Lin Xiang's anxiety reached its peak.

Because a claw suddenly stretched out from the muddy mountain torrent!

An extremely huge black figure rushed downwards with the help of the flood. It was not fast, but its body was very long. Part of it had reached the river section within its jurisdiction, while the other part was still outside.

"Could it be that he is walking on a dragon?"

This thought flashed quickly through Lin Xiang's mind.

The so-called walking dragons are some snakes, fish and even earthworm monsters that have practiced for thousands of years. During heavy rains, they will take advantage of floods to enter the sea and turn into dragons.

The dragon's journey is their chance and fate. If they cause too much bloodshed during the journey, they will not be able to transform into a dragon.

At this time, they can only rely on the power of the flood and cannot cast spells or escape techniques. They are in the most dangerous and threatening state.

Once there are people, buildings or ships blocking the way, they will create strong winds and huge waves and rush straight forward.

If any monks try to stop them, it will be a fight to the death.

Because dragon-walking incidents occur from time to time, an iron sword is hung under many bridges built by humans. It has a famous name called the Dragon-Slaying Sword!

This sword can prevent the dragon snake from passing under the bridge, forcing it to take a detour, thus keeping the bridge safe.

If you force your way in, you will either die or be injured.

The Longxi River in Lin Xiang's jurisdiction is very shallow, and there are Shiwan Mountains on the opposite side of the river, so there is no bridge built, and there is no Dragon-Slaying Sword to prevent the other party from escaping.

Faced with this dragon snake that had made a huge leap in its life form, he did not intend to interfere, but let nature take its course and allow the dragon snake to leave his jurisdiction smoothly.

He wanted to get through it safely, but the dragon snake didn't think so.

Amidst the violent storm, the mountain torrents seemed to pause, and after extending a claw covered with scales and sharp nails, a giant black snake head with a single horn appeared on the crest of the wave!

It looked like it was gradually evolving into a dragon, but its pointed head still retained its snake-like features. Its golden-green eyes fixed on Lin Xiang. In the distance, its flat black tail swung in the Longxi River, its body exceeding thirty meters long!

What caught Lin Xiang's attention most was the iron sword stuck in the neck of the dragon snake.

It had been injured by the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and dark red blood was flowing down bit by bit and gathering in the Longxi River.

The man and the snake looked at each other, and the surrounding storm became the background sound.

Then the black dragon snake turned its gaze to the Panlong Whip in Lin Xiang's hand, with a look of help in its eyes, and opened its mouth to spit out its tongue.

It practiced for thousands of years and finally caught the opportunity to become a dragon, but it was plotted against just as it came out of the Ten Thousand Mountains!

Under normal circumstances, no human would build a bridge at the outlet of a river in the Shiwandashan Mountains. It even surveyed the route several years in advance.

As a result, they were surrounded by people this time, and dragon-slaying swords were placed on all sides.

Instead of waiting for death, it is better to force your way through!

The black dragon snake was extremely brave, but still underestimated the power of the Dragon Slaying Sword.

To other wild beasts and demonic beasts, the Dragon Slaying Sword posed no threat. However, to a demonic beast in its dragon-walking state, it was a bloodline suppression. The Dragon Slaying Sword, forged from ordinary iron, easily pierced through its incredibly strong scales, piercing its entire throat.

It knew that it had lost the possibility of transforming into a dragon, and just wanted to see how far it could go, even if it fell down halfway.

Lin Xiang could sense that there was no karma on this black snake. It was even cleaner than Feng Jianan, the cultivator.

When the black snake pitifully asked for help, he thought for a moment and suddenly said, "What a powerful dragon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light flew from Lin Xiang to the top of the black snake's head, and its remaining snake-like features immediately developed towards the direction of a dragon.

The sharp snake fangs turned into densely packed teeth, the head gradually became blunt, and even two black beards grew.

The top horn on the head split into two, becoming two small horns.

The scales began to transform from tiny snake scales into palm-sized dragon scales, and mane also grew on the smooth body.

The Dragon Slaying Sword that was originally stuck in the throat slowly retreated and finally fell into the riverbed, and the wound healed immediately.

With just one sentence, the black snake that had failed to transform into a dragon turned into a black dragon!

This is the power of Fengzheng.

Humans are the spirits of all things. They have the ability to canonize demons who have achieved success in their cultivation. Using the power given by Heaven to affirm the cultivation of these demons is equivalent to helping Heaven to canonize these aliens.

If a dragon encounters a human while traveling, the chances of it transforming into a dragon will increase significantly if the appropriate seal is given. Seal means to confer the creature upon them as the one they most desire to become, such as calling them a dragon for a snake or a human for a fox or weasel.

Never say that the other party is a snake or other loach or eel, as that will lead to failure in sealing the right.

The power of ordinary humans to ordained dragons and snakes is so strong, and as an incumbent immortal in heaven, Lin Xiang's ordination is even more powerful.

The black snake that was originally on the verge of death was transformed into a black dragon after he sealed it, with only its tail remaining bare, retaining the characteristics of a snake.

This black dragon has met a noble person!

Not only did it regain its strength, but it was also only one step away from becoming a dragon. It excitedly flew towards the sky from the waves of Longxi River. The heavy rain around it stopped. Then it let out a huge mooing sound that echoed for miles.

It has already initially acquired the ability to control the clouds and rain like a dragon.

"Go, but don't do anything harmful on the way, otherwise I will kill you myself." Lin Xiang said harshly, even though the level of the black dragon in front of him was beyond imagination.

After hearing Lin Xiang's words, the black dragon flew down from the sky, then shrank its body and came in front of Lin Xiang, silently lowered its head to express its gratitude.

The effect of being ordained at the god level is stronger than that of being ordained at the level of thousands of humans. They are not even on the same level.

The black dragon seemed to be bowing, its slender body winding on the surface of the river, and its head kept nodding downwards.

The grace of rebirth!

[Black Dragon (Transforming): lv. 70, evolved from a black snake after thousands of years of cultivation, extremely powerful.]

There is no doubt that this is the highest-level creature Lin Xiang has ever seen in the "Ascension" game. It is even stronger than the old swordsman he met at the Ascension Conference. It is already a powerful person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

No wonder the land god's disaster-avoidance ability always reminds him to hide.

If a direct conflict arose, Lin Xiang could indeed rely on the power of the Earth God to counter it, but the danger was immense. Even the Five Elements Wu Earth Formation couldn't stop a Tribulation Crossing Stage beast. Perhaps the entire Dongshan Village would be buried with it, leaving Lin Xiang alone to survive.

Injured and dying beasts are extremely dangerous, let alone monsters of this level!

Fortunately, Lin Xiang did not conflict with him, but instead provided help, which can be regarded as a good relationship between them.

After the black dragon kowtowed three times, it continued to rush towards the middle and lower reaches of Longxi River with the mountain torrent with a resolute look. After all, it is not a dragon unless it enters the sea!

Its tail never turned into a flat dragon tail. There is nothing it can do because the dragon-walking procedure is not perfect.

Lin Xiang watched Mo Jiao leave. He did not expect any reward from Mo Jiao, but only hoped that he would stop killing people, otherwise it would be his fault.

The crisis was over, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, his mind moved and he took the Dragon Slaying Sword that fell in the mud at the bottom of the river into his own hands.

This dragon-slaying sword that severely injured the lv.70 Mo Jiao should not be considered as scrap metal, right?

Sure enough, when he picked it up and took a look, he found that it had actually turned into a top-grade magic weapon!

[Dragon Slaying Sword: Top-grade magical weapon, attack 50-99, doubles damage to dragons and snakes. Increases dragon and snake aggro after wearing it.]

If it weren't for its poor quality, the Dragon Slaying Sword would probably have been directly ranked among the magical weapons.

After a busy period, Lin Xiang got a top-grade magical flying sword, which was also quite good.

The Panlong Whip is the trump card, and the Dragon-Slaying Sword can be used in daily life, which is different from the Jinling Sword Pill.

The sword cultivator's disguise uses the Golden Spirit Sword Pill, while his true body uses the Dragon Slaying Sword, so as not to expose the precious magic weapon to outsiders.

At this time, the Dragon Slaying Sword was smooth and bright, with a chilling air surrounding the blade. With a light flick of the hand, the sword body shook and made a crisp sound. It was indeed a rare and good sword!

…

"What a huge thunderstorm! Is this really someone going through a tribulation?"

Zhenren Tai Er stood under the eaves, watching the lightning and thunder in the distant sky, and didn't want to go out at all for fear of being struck by lightning.

At this moment, the five of them were in the small courtyard Han Mu had rewarded them with. This small courtyard was quite large, with six rooms and a small kitchen. In the center of the courtyard was a training ground covering an area of ​​100 square meters, surrounded by a circle of flower beds.

The wall of the courtyard is not high, but silver arrow grass is planted inside.

Once these silver arrow grasses grow up, they can be used to block vision, or they can be used to directly set up restrictions or formations.

Since the courtyard already belongs to him, he can do whatever he wants with it, but Han Mu is short of money now and cannot afford to buy a suitable formation.

There is no furniture in the house. There is only a futon in each room, and you have to buy tables and chairs yourself.

Bingxue Piaopiao stood at the door of the reception room, feeling the damp breeze on her cheeks. She agreed and said, "I also think that someone must be transcending the tribulation and ascending to heaven."

"With such a severe thunderstorm, we have no way of going out to kill monsters. It feels like we are wasting our time." Yu Xiaoqi was a little discouraged. What she hated most was staying in the house. She even wandered around outside.

Xie Longtao suggested, "Since there's nothing else to do, why don't we figure out tomorrow's route? We're free anyway, so why not take advantage of the fact that there's still oil in our lamps?"

Who would have thought that the first difficult thing they encountered in the world of cultivation would be lighting!

This oil lamp was temporarily borrowed by the village chief, Wang Minghai, and he had to return it tomorrow. After all, oil lamps and the tung oil inside them were still quite valuable these days.

They were used to using electric lights, and the black smoke produced by the burning oil lamp was so thick that they could hardly stand it.

The cotton wick was soaked in tung oil and was constantly jumping in the strong wind that blew through the hall.

Han Mu closed the window, then took out a piece of white paper and a charcoal pencil and began to draw what the map he had obtained looked like.

Lin Xiang handed him a one-time-use jade slip that directly enabled the map function, but it couldn't be displayed to other players. He uploaded this part of the content to the game forum through the game recording, so everyone gathered together to discuss it while opening the game forum post.

If you want to save money, you can use this method. However, it is very troublesome to use, you cannot check your real-time location, and the gaming experience is not very good.

"According to the map, we can follow the official road to Qifeng Town, and then go a few dozen miles north to find the only Taichang Market nearby. There must be ways to reach the various sects there, which is faster than going directly."

Yu Xiaoqi asked seriously, "Have you decided which sect you want to join? If possible, we can go to the same sect so we can have better support."

Bingxue Piaopiao shrugged. "I plan to try the Moon Shadow Palace. Even though it's being targeted by so many top sects, I don't think it'll be destroyed right away, right? Even if it is, maybe I can get some inheritance and then quietly return to Dongshan Village to farm."

Death is the most acceptable thing for players.

As the saying goes, a centipede will die even after being cut into pieces. It is impossible for such a large Moon Shadow Palace to be destroyed. It is very likely that it will be weakened, or even close its gates and give up its vested interests outside.

She thought it through clearly. As a person with an ice-attribute mutant spiritual root, she couldn't obtain the corresponding skills in many other sects. She might as well try to go to a large sect.

"I actually have the same idea as Piaopiao. I also want to join the Moon Shadow Palace." Tai Er Zhenren didn't hide anything and analyzed, "I simply think that the Moon Shadow Palace has more choices of skills."

Both of them have single spiritual roots and are of top-level qualifications, so they won't have to worry about being rejected by major sects.

Even in the current tense environment, Moon Shadow Palace will not let go of the genius.

Yu Xiaoqi bit her lip and said helplessly, "My spiritual roots are relatively weak, so I definitely can't enter the Moon Shadow Palace. I plan to go to the Heavenly Sword Sect. After all, it's a first-rate sect, not only good at fighting, but it's also been suppressed by the Moon Shadow Palace."

"I seriously suspect that the Tianjian Sect played an ignominious role in this major internal and external crisis. Perhaps they will be supported by other sects to confront the Yueying Palace. That will be my chance."

She likes and is good at fighting, which makes her suitable for the battle-crazed sect of Jianxiu.

As a first-class sect, Tianjian Sect possessed a strong heritage and enjoyed close ties with several other sword-cultivating sects. Even if Dagan were to be annexed by the surrounding nations, Tianjian Sect would not be destroyed, as it had the advantage of being a major sect.

The various sword cultivation sects in Southern Jambu Continent are hostile to each other, each believing their own sword techniques to be the most powerful. However, when faced with an enemy, they all unite, hence the saying that all sword cultivators in the world are one family.

"The Heavenly Sword Sect and the Moon Shadow Palace don't seem to be in the same place. Should we go to the market first to see if there's a teleportation array?" Tai Er Zhenren answered seriously, "I hope the teleportation fee isn't expensive, otherwise we won't be able to afford it."

Cultivating immortals does consume a lot of resources, and it is difficult to maintain normal income and expenditure by just fighting monsters.

Han Mu and Xie Longtao had already discussed it. One of them had dual spiritual roots of gold and fire, and the other had dual spiritual roots of earth and wood. Now they were preparing to join Wanmiao Pavilion.

It is also a first-class sect of cultivation in the Southern Continent, famous for its diverse spells, which can greatly bring out the characteristics of their respective spiritual roots.

Everyone has different goals, so it is inevitable that we will go our separate ways.

"It all sounds great. I hope we can get what we want when the time comes." Yu Xiaoqi wanted to grow wings and fly away when he thought that he could finally go out after living in the small mountain village for so long.

Han Mu then continued, "Have you noticed? To survive in the world of cultivation, you need to master at least one skill. Either refining pills and weapons, making talismans, growing spiritual herbs, raising spiritual beasts, or making puppets, etc. These are the important ways to earn spirit stones. I was thinking, what if we could choose as many different skills as possible based on our own interests and the strengths of our sect, and then share what we have?"

"If we can sell it at a price slightly lower than the market price, that's fine. We don't want everyone to do business at a loss."

"It's all about being yourself. Put yourself first, then consider the needs of others."

Bingxue Piaopiao was the first to speak: "I have ice spiritual roots, so I definitely don't have much future in refining weapons and making pills. It just so happens that I have a spiritual field, and my Little Cloud and Rain Art has reached level three. I plan to develop into a spiritual planter, growing spiritual rice and spiritual herbs. I hope to provide you with some common spiritual herbs. Too rare ones are definitely difficult to grow."

Her goals have always been very clear and have never changed.

She just changed the direction slightly in realizing her dream. Before, she wanted to join Dagan to be a sacrificial spirit, but now she simply decided to become a disciple of Yueying Palace.

A regime like Da Gan's could be overthrown at any time, but a cultivation sect that has been passed down for thousands or tens of thousands of years would not be destroyed so easily.

True Man Tai Er expressed his thoughts, "You all know that I have a top-grade fire spirit root. I plan to learn weapon refining or alchemy. What I will learn specifically depends on my circumstances after joining the sect. I will be able to give you an answer then."

It is very difficult for him to make a choice now. What if he meets a master who is good at refining equipment?

Or be assigned to be a disciple under an alchemist?

Yu Xiaoqi's choice was somewhat unusual: "I plan to become a formation master, perhaps making formation plates and formations. When traveling in the world of cultivation, I always have to carry a few portable formations. What about you guys?"

"My attributes seem to have limited attack power, so I plan to go the route of talisman making, specializing in drawing talismans for treatment and defense." Xie Longtao said helplessly, he has both earth and wood attributes.

If there was architecture in the world of cultivation, he would probably be the first one to be accepted as a disciple.

Han Muyan said concisely, "I want to study alchemy. When the time comes, I will compare the cost of learning alchemy in the sect and here at Jiling. It is best to learn from the strengths of various schools and then apply them to my own needs."

"Okay, from now on we'll rely on you for the pills we need for fighting and practicing." Tai Er Zhenren said carelessly.

Yu Xiaoqi also nodded: "Alchemy is good, this thing is really profitable."

Each of them has a clear development direction and is full of motivation.

The thunderstorm gradually disappeared, and the gray fog that was originally deterred by thunder reappeared. Some monsters hiding deep underground began to wander around foraging, trying to find new food.

…

Some players take advantage of heavy rain to log off and do their own things, or to save game time.

Now that the heavy rain has stopped, everyone is reminding each other on the forum.

Except for the patrol members stationed in Xishan Village, most of the players are in the Huanyu Cave Heaven next to Dongshan Village. The spiritual energy here is more abundant, and it is close to the resurrection point, and there are relatively more monsters.

Over in Xishan Village, the person on duty today is the unlucky guy Tractorski who was killed by the mud monster.

He patrolled around the village holding a lightning hammer that only a captain could use, and then watched as a not-so-weak black-faced ghost and a green-faced ghost rushed into the village together.

Just as Tractorski was about to rush back to deal with the two monsters, they crashed directly into the Five Elements Bing Fire Formation.

The two monsters suddenly turned into torches, were ignited in an instant, and then disappeared into the night.

"Oh my god, this spirit sacrifice formation is really powerful!" He couldn't help but blurt out, and then filmed the video, preparing to send it to others later.

He was originally worried about whether this formation would work, but now he found that its power seemed a bit outrageous.

After the two ghost monsters were burned to death, only two soul crystals were left in the original place.

[Soul Crystal: The product of refining ghost-like creatures. Use can slightly enhance spiritual awareness.]

Previously, players had killed many ghost monsters, but none of them dropped soul crystals. Now, Tractorski and his team seemed to see an opportunity. It turned out that they had to refine them, while killing them directly would only drop spirit stone fragments or the like.

It can be said that both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it depends on how the players choose.

At this time, the other two players on the patrol team asked, "Captain, this soul crystal looks quite valuable, and every player, even cultivators, can use it. How about we split it up?"

"Yeah, let's lure a few more ghost monsters over here and try to get more soul crystals."

Tractorski looked at the formation that occasionally flashed red light and said seriously, "I don't think this is a good idea. After all, we're using the power of the formation to kill monsters, and all the spoils are going to be taken by us. If the sacrificial spirit finds out, will his favorability towards us decrease?"

He didn't really want to keep these soul crystals for himself. To him, soul crystals were as important as favorability.

"Let's wait until we are discovered." One of the team members, Ma Huien, said nonchalantly.

If it weren't for these two teammates next to him, he wouldn't even want to share with them.

One of the remaining players, Cuckoo, disagreed. "I think the captain is right. This looks like a long-term deal, not a one-time one. As long as we stay on patrol, we'll definitely get a share of the rewards. If the sacrificial spirit removes the formation, what will we use to refine the ghosts?"

"Since you are all so generous, then go and ask the sacrificial spirit for instructions."

Ma Huien said angrily, "I've given up."

Tractorski immediately took the two soul crystals and walked towards the village. At this time, there were also patrols organized spontaneously by the villagers in the village.

When they saw the three patrolling players approaching, they thought something terrible had happened and quickly asked, "Three heroes, are there any powerful monsters outside?"

"No, no, the village is very safe under the protection of Master Jiling's formation. Just now, two ghost-like monsters tried to rush in, but they were immediately burned to ashes!"

"Yeah, you can rest assured and sleep well."

"I see you have dark circles under your eyes, brother. It's not good to have your day and night reversed like this. You'd better go back and have a good sleep."

The villager in charge of patrolling the village is tall and strong, with a copper gong on his waist.

His mission was not to kill the enemy, but to wake up the villagers.

Hearing the three players' reminder, the villager smiled and said, "I've gotten used to it over the years. Someone has to keep watch and patrol at night."

Tractorski, Ma Huien and Cuckoo felt very uncomfortable when they heard this.

This damn world has caused such cruel treatment to ordinary people.

But they had no solution, so they could only sigh in their hearts and then walked to the statue of the land god.

Due to time constraints, the villagers only had time to build a wooden shed for the statue to protect it from wind and rain, and water was already leaking from the shed.

Tractorski finally lit a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner before immediately saying, "Master Jiling, we want to report something."

Only by lighting the incense can you contact Lin Xiang, and this action is just like making a phone call.

Outside the Universe Cave, Lin Xiang was studying the skills of refining equipment. In order to avoid being distracted, he deliberately lowered the volume of the believers' prayers. The prayers would only be heard when he was extremely nervous or anxious. Otherwise, he would be driven crazy by the countless prayers.

Fortunately, we didn't refine the ore, otherwise another batch of materials would have been destroyed.

After hearing this report, Lin Xiang's figure quickly moved into the land god statue of Xishan Village, and then walked out of the void.
