Qinling Mountains, the outpost of the pioneer group.

This is the headquarters of the Wuchang Immortal Sect.

It was discovered about half a year after the server was launched, which is at the end of year 43.

Due to the special properties of the Wuchang Immortal Sect, the practitioners in the sect, when they reach a certain stage of cultivation, will become a temple-like existence that is difficult to be disturbed. Therefore, the Qinling Mountains is still one of the places where players are keen to "hunt for treasures" today.

They searched carefully in the Qinling Mountains. Once they found a temple or something like that, they would pick up various objects from the temple and put them into a treasure bag, which would often turn into spirit stones.

Therefore, there are nearly a thousand players entrenched here, going to Qinfeng to dig for treasures every day.

The pioneer group also set up an outpost here.

The countermeasures team is extremely interested in the strange cultivation methods of the Wuchang Immortal Sect.

It can be cultivated into temples, mountains, and even something as huge as Mount Tai. If placed on Earth, wouldn’t this be a giant mecha in science fiction novels?

Therefore, the research goals set for the pioneering group stationed here are related to this.

Today, many players are still online here as usual.

The Qinling pioneer camp has a military style and is built with various tents. Players can buy supplies and ask for help here. Recently, the business of exchanging spirit stones has been added, and it is becoming more and more like a mature NPC camp.

Several new players arrived here exhausted.

They were greeted by their offline classmates and roommates.

As the winter vacation on Earth is approaching, a large number of college students have begun to play the "Alien World" game.

Playing this game during the winter vacation can indeed earn you more money than working.

However, the journey was extremely inconvenient. It took half a month to walk from Kunlun to Qinling Mountains even with the assistance of the instructors. I also died several times along the way due to sneak attacks by monsters. It was so difficult. This is really a completely realistic VR game. It is simply a torture.

So the moment they saw their classmates, some of the newcomers felt like crying.

"Don't cry, don't cry. You will be happy in the future. When you have practiced well and can control magic weapons, you will be able to fly and hide in the ground, which will be awesome!" their classmates comforted them.

"Then can you?" several newcomers immediately asked.

"I... am still a little short of it. When I reach the Niwan stage, I will be able to control magic weapons. Then I will ask the instructor to buy me a magic weapon that can fly. Then I will definitely take you to the sky to play!"

"I have to buy it... In other games, you can make magic weapons by yourself." A newcomer found it a bit troublesome.

"If you want to start refining magic weapons, you have to be in the Jindan stage, but all kinds of materials still have to be purchased with spirit stones. Okay, stop talking nonsense. Don't you have the treasure bag in your hand? Don't you have practiced the Kuai Zai Feng? Today I will take you into the mountains to hunt for treasures." said the classmate.

"I have a question~" A newcomer raised his hand, "Can I use the spiritual power to condense spiritual stones by holding the treasure bag?"

"That's right."

"The Wind, Fire and Thunder Immortal Art that we practice can actually also produce spiritual inspiration." The newcomer said again.

"yes."

"Then why don't we practice and add spiritual energy to our treasure bag at the same time? Wouldn't that be equivalent to making money while sitting still? One spiritual stone costs 500 yuan. If we can cultivate ten points of spiritual energy a day, that would be 5,000 yuan~" the newcomer said again.

"How clever! You came up with a trick so quickly. Haha, but... no!" The classmate raised his middle finger and shook it. "Using a treasure bag to refine the spirit, the refining process is a bit like the birth process of Bitcoin... You all know Bitcoin, right?"

Bitcoin, the once popular virtual currency, still has some circulation properties, but they are very weak.

Because of the VR technology boom, various virtual realities have been born. The resources in virtual reality have more valuable currency attributes, and computing power has a more advanced way of presentation. The first thing to be killed by dimensionality reduction is the circulation attribute of a number of virtual currencies.

But the existence of Bitcoin is indeed a very important economic phenomenon, and it is taught in university textbooks.

So the newlyweds nodded in unison.

"We use the Heavenly Secret Bag to exchange the spiritual energy for spiritual stones. At the beginning, it is very easy and any spiritual energy can be exchanged. But in the later stage, more and more spiritual energy of the same kind is needed to exchange for a spiritual stone."

"Let me add here that there are 12,960 types of spiritual stones. The further along the numerical sequence is, the more precious they are."

"From this, the players have deduced a rule, that is, the more times a Spirit Stone appears, the more Spiritual Machines need to be placed in it. In other words, a player who has just joined the server can exchange a Spirit Stone for a little bit of the Quick Wind Spiritual Machine cultivated from the Wind, Fire and Thunder Immortal Technique."

"Then, in your case, you may need a thousand or even several thousand points of Kuaizaifeng spirit energy to exchange for a spirit stone, and the serial number must be after ten thousand. After all, one point of Kuaizaifeng is only the entry-level immortal technique."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

“It’s like mining Bitcoin. The further you go, the more computing power you need.”

"Do you understand?"

After listening to their classmates' explanation, several novice players showed unwilling expressions, "It's too late to play the game!"

"Of course it's too late. When the server was newly opened, all the spirit stones had unknown properties. One spirit stone could be exchanged for a thousand yuan. That was real money."

"Before the Myriad Immortal Emperor appeared, spirit stones were only divided into 'known' and 'unknown' attributes. A spirit stone of 'unknown' attribute could be exchanged for 100,000!"

"However, after the Myriad Immortal Emperor killed the Five Tribulations True Immortal Earth Goddess with the Sequence Scale, he also sequenced the spiritual machines of the world. There are no more unknown spiritual stones. All of them are of known sequences. There are 12,960 kinds of spiritual machines, corresponding to corresponding spiritual stones. The era of picking up money is over."

"The spirit stones at the top of the sequence are too difficult to obtain."

“But don’t be discouraged. During the battle on Changjie, Galan’s boss ate dirt and snatched a drop of blood of a Five Tribulations True Immortal. He analyzed nearly a hundred spirit stones, including more than a dozen in the top thirty. It’s a huge explosion!”

"The instructor's current purchase price for the top thirty spirit stones is over a thousand taels of silver, or nearly 500,000 RMB. How much did you earn from that one time of eating dirt?"

Oh my god! The newcomers’ eyes sparkled.

"Now, the Qinling Mountains in front of you is the headquarters of the Wuchang Immortal Sect, one of the twenty-four immortal sects. There are countless golden elixirs and Yuanying, as well as masters of the divine realm. There may even be relics of true immortals. If you can also pick up a drop of true immortal blood, then...?"

"Go!" The novice players began to rush towards Qinling Mountains, picking up big sacks of money.

As a result, before entering the first mountain of Qinling Mountains, we met a strange old man who was half a person's height, wearing a bright red official robe, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, with a face as rosy as an apple, but a very ferocious expression.

The old man stood at the entrance of the pioneer group's outpost camp, pointing at the players and instructors with his dragon-headed cane.

"Kunlun is dead! I want you to die without a complete corpse!"

Three more~
