Chapter 023 Game Settlement

[The game is being settled...]

【Clearance Rewards:

[1. Kill 17 obsession-level ghosts and gain 17 points.

【2. The first place in the contribution ranking list will receive a "mid-level promotion opportunity" once.】

【Extra Rewards:

[You can use "Rules of the New World" once (only in the game).]

【「Points Mall」 is now open. 】

[The next game will start in ten hours, and you will be reminded a quarter of an hour in advance. ]

After the settlement, a system panel popped up in front of me, which contained the clearance reward "Intermediate Promotion Opportunity" and the additional reward "Rules of the New World", indicating that once taken out, they could not be put back.

In addition, there is a short blue bar on the right. This should be the so-called energy. It is still a long way from being full.

Not caring about the so-called prayer opportunity, Ji Weihang took out the "Intermediate Promotion Opportunity". A ball of soft white light appeared in his hand. It looked nothing special, and the touch was almost non-existent... after all, it was light.

【Are you sure you want to use "Mid-level Promotion Opportunity"? 】

A line of Yingwen jumped out.

After choosing to use it, white light slowly enveloped her body. When the white light disappeared, she had risen from the early stage of out-of-body experience to the middle stage.

At this moment, a young woman wearing a wide lapis lazuli robe and with bronze skin suddenly appeared beside Wei Hang.

Her hands were tucked into her sleeves, and her feet were wearing open-toed straw sandals. Lifelike dragon and phoenix patterns spiraled up her loosely opened robe, climbed up her shoulders, went around her neck, and rested on her right shoulder as she closed her eyes and fell asleep. The phoenix feathers and dragon scales were clearly visible, and if you looked closely, they seemed to be slightly rising and falling and pulsating as if they had life.

The woman looked bold and free, but her expression was solemn, with her head bowed in respect. "Master, you are back."

Wei Hang hummed and asked, "How long have I been away?"

"Just one stick of incense time," the woman replied. Her voice was clear and long, like the sound of an ancient bell, with a sense of continuity. "Master, you have returned unharmed and in the same condition as before."

She is the spirit Kun Qing, who has been with Wei Hang for fifty years.

Ji Weihang was about to open the points mall, but when he heard this, he paused. "When I left, didn't the magic treasure I had with me stay behind?"

As she spoke, she checked her body and confirmed that her attire was no different from before she entered the game - she wore a Lingbao mask on her face, a black robe embroidered with gold patterns, magic boots that could assist in levitation and landing, a storage bag in her arms, and a Jade Bone Sword and Danfeng Sword crossed on her back.

Kun Qing said: "No. Everything on your body disappeared in the white light along with you."

It seems that the wishing game takes the entire person away from the original world. When entering the game world, the player's spiritual treasures are removed and his clothes are changed.

And the players are completely unaware that anything has been changed on their bodies... This method is more powerful than most secret realms.

The body enters the game, but can return intact after dying in the game, which shows that this game system can also revive people...

Even if it is uncertain whether the person who came back is really intact, it is difficult to conceal the supernatural nature of this method. ——If it is possible to resurrect people, then why do most cultivators still need to cultivate immortality?

As he pondered, Wei Hang had an idea and opened the so-called points mall. Although it was called a mall, it only displayed three items that could be exchanged, namely "item exchange voucher", "item carrying voucher", and "spiritual stone exchange".

In simple terms, it is about taking items out of the game, bringing items into the game, and exchanging them for Spirit Stones. It's very simple.

She spent five points to exchange for an [Item Exchange Voucher].

After confirming the use, a white light flashed, and the dark Styx Sword appeared in front of her and fell into her hands.

It is precisely because the items that can be obtained by the prop exchange voucher must be the items that players use most frequently and are most familiar with in the game that she chose to exchange it.

The Styx Sword was still quite useful to her. At least, it was quite helpful in killing Ying Feiqiong.

Kunqing, who was standing aside, did not show any surprise at the sudden appearance of a sword out of thin air. This was a common method in the world of immortal cultivation and was nothing serious.

She just glanced at the Styx Sword critically, and the Styx Sword trembled under her gaze. In the end, she reluctantly ranked its value in the upper middle.

"If this sword doesn't have a scabbard, I'll make one for you," Kunqing said.

"Okay. It's called the Styx." Wei Hang handed the Styx Sword to Kun Qing and ignored the sword's trembling. Any conscious object would feel the terrifying pressure when approaching Kun Qing. This was a normal reaction.

She then said, "I got some news about Ying Feiqiong this time, so I need to go to the city. You stay at home."

"Okay." Kun Qing took the Styx Sword, which was constantly trembling and suddenly calmed down after he held it in his hand.

"Be careful, the people from the Wanjian Sect are here to kill you. Currently, they are scattered throughout Baiping City and outside the city searching for you. The leader, Wanqi Shuang, is waiting in the city. Be careful on the road."

Ji Weihang nodded. This was within her expectations. Before entering the game, she knew that the people from the Wanjian Sect were on their way.

Ever since the Wanjian Sect found out three days ago that Bai Zhiyu's death was related to her identity as "Bijun", they sent a group of pioneers to the Guiyu to investigate the news. Now, this team headed by Elder Wanqi Shuang should be the "main team".

Ji Weihang took off the jade bone sword from his back and handed it to Kunqing, "It can easily cause trouble, you take it."

As soon as she heard the news about the Wanjian Sect, the Jade Bone Sword began to waver slightly, and it was not very peaceful. Considering that it was made of the sword bone of Bai Zhiyu from the Wanjian Sect, and it still had some of his thoughts from his lifetime, it would be better to leave it at home this time, so as not to provoke the people from the Wanjian Sect. She didn't go out just to fight with them.

After falling into Kunqing's hands, the Jade Bone Sword suddenly became silent like the Styx Sword.

Kunqing is the spirit of the Chaos Furnace, a heavenly spiritual treasure. She can refine and transform anything, so she naturally suppresses spiritual treasures. With her around, Weihang doesn't have to worry about the Jade Bone Sword causing any trouble.

Wei Hang glanced at the handful of yellow soil in the small stove on the stone table, changed a stick of incense, and strode out of the cave.

The moon is bright and the wind is clear tonight. The quiet moonlight shines on the woods, outlining the outlines of branches and leaves rustling in the night breeze. Occasionally, there are the chirping of insects and birds and the howling of wild beasts.

She is located at the top of a mountain.

Looking forward, across the moonlit woods, a few miles away there is a semi-bright and semi-dark place, which is Baiping City. Looking around, there are endless forests and mountains.

This is the Ping'ao Mountains, known as the "Nine Bends of the Netherworld", which is the boundary between the human world and the strange world. After leaving the Ping'ao Mountains, you will approach the border of the human world, Myanying City; and after passing through seventeen cities along the Baiping City, you will enter the demon world.

The strange domain is located between the human world and the demon world, so it can be said that it is caught between the two sides.

Wei Hang used the magic mask on his face to change his appearance again, altered the pattern of his robes, turning them into simple and plain black clothes, and put the Danfeng sword into his dantian.

He looks like a very simple monk.

Ji Weihang walked down the mountain slowly, came to the flat part of the mountainside, passed through a barrier, and left her territory.

As soon as she came out of the barrier, she ran into a young man in black clothes.

She paused slightly.

The man looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. He looked around in confusion and distress, muttering, "It seems like I've passed by here four times..."

When he turned his head and saw Wei Hang suddenly appearing in front of him, the boy's expression froze and his words stopped abruptly.

The two looked at each other.

——

Bai Jiyue was a notoriously unlucky child of the Wanjian Sect. She would step on traps and formations while walking, and would be separated from her companions while walking. She was also a road idiot. She should have stayed in Baiping City, but she volunteered to go out and search, and Wanqi Shuang, who loved her, had no reason to stop her.

She and her fellow sisters searched for Ji Weihang in the mountains and forests, but somehow they got separated and lost, and couldn't find the direction.

Looking at the person who suddenly appeared, she stopped hesitantly and looked at the other person.

A place like this suddenly appeared... Could it be...

Is her luck really that bad...?

Weihang looked at the young man.

She knew that this was Bai Zhiyu's junior sister, Wanqi Shuang's youngest disciple, Bai Jiyue.

I didn't expect Bai Jiuyue's luck to be so magical. In such a big mountain, he just happened to meet me when I was coming down the mountain. I don't know whether it is lucky or unlucky... Ji Weihang did not take the initiative, but waited for the other party's move.

Bai Jiuyue's expression kept changing. After a while, he finally opened his mouth, but what came out was not shouting or begging for mercy, but "Daoyou, I'm lost. Do you know which direction Baiping City is?"

Ji Weihang raised his eyebrows and pointed in a direction, but it was not the way down the mountain, "Over there."

Without waiting for Bai Jiuyue to thank him, she walked closer and asked, "Why don't you fly up and take a look? Although it is night now, this place is close to Baiping City and there are no ferocious beasts. You don't have to worry about being attacked."

He looks like a kind monk.

"I have a mission to complete, and flying the sword will attract attention." Bai Jiuyue seemed to treat her as a good person without any suspicion. She was not wary of her approaching and said with a smile, "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for pointing me in the direction." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait." Wei Hang caught up with him in a few steps. "I want to go to Baiping City too. Want to go with me?"

"Okay, thank you very much, fellow Daoist. I was worried that I would get lost again while walking." Bai Jiyue said happily, without any gloom or vigilance on her face. She introduced herself, "My name is Bai Jiyue, the Jiyue of bright and clear sky. Fellow Daoist is older than me, so just call me Xiaoyue."

"Why not Xiaobai?" Ji Weihang asked casually after taking a look at the other person's expression.

"Many people in my sect have the last name Bai. If I call them Xiaobai, it would be a little disrespectful." Bai Jiyue answered seriously, "It would be less likely to cause ambiguity if I call them Xiaoyue."

Ji Weihang nodded thoughtfully, and heard Bai Jiyue ask: "Can you tell me your name, fellow Taoist?"

"Jiang Zhan." Ji Weihang said. This is indeed the name of her current identity.

Although she deliberately changed her identity in order to avoid the Wanjian Sect, it didn't matter if it was later revealed that "Jiang Zhan" was actually "Ji Weihang".

"Fellow Daoist, you are from Feiyan Tower, right?" Bai Jiuyue said with certainty.

Ji Weihang hummed. Her transformed appearance, her black hair that now shone with a faint blue luster under the moonlight, and her eyes that occasionally turned light blue were the symbol of Feiyan Tower's martial arts.

One of her fake identities is "Xuanniaojia" of Feiyan Tower, Jiang Zhan.

This identity was not like "Bijun" who had already been exposed in the Three Realms. It was definitely related to "Ji Weihang", so there was no need to worry about being recognized. After tonight, I might have to give up this identity.

Bai Jiuyue seemed very happy to have guessed the identity, and asked again: "Why are you staying alone in the mountains in the middle of the night? Are you here to explore the secrets?" As he spoke, his voice became lower, "The place you just came out of should be a small secret treasure, right? I heard that Jiuqu Netherworld has a secret treasure left over from the human-demon war a long time ago."

Wei Hang smiled and said, "Yeah, don't tell anyone."

Bai Jiyue nodded obediently, "I know the rules." He also laughed and joked, "If I don't follow the rules, I'm afraid you will kill me."

Ji Weihang smiled again and asked, "What about you? Why are you alone in this mountain in the middle of the night? What is your mission? Can you tell me?" He lowered his voice like Bai Jiuyue did when he spoke the latter part.

"Someone killed my senior sister. I heard that she lives in this mountain." Bai Jiuyue said, "I didn't come here alone. I just got separated from my senior sisters."

Wei Hang looked at her with curiosity: "Someone killed your sister, but you don't seem to be angry."

Bai Jiyue hesitated for a moment and whispered, "You should have heard about the rumor that has been making the rounds recently... If that's true, actually..."

"Junior Sister Yue!" Someone's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Bai Jiuyue's words.
