This was a new change, a system improvement. Virtual space was inaccessible unless the player was currently on a mission, and the reminder function was passive, requiring no clicks to activate. Consequently, all three system functions were grayed out.
"It seems that we can no longer enter." Lin Yang said with a regretful tone
Lin Yang took a look and saw that the task was not shown as completed. He understood that he could only succeed if he met the kendo teacher's requirements in reality.
So he went to the sword practice area in the yard and began to practice "Basic Sword Technique" again in reality.
Because in the virtual space - the kendo room, I already have this awareness, but my body cannot keep up, so the progress is very fast.
"System, didn't they say the effect was only 30% to 50%? How come my progress in the real world is so rapid? I estimate that in less than a month I can achieve the same results as a year of cultivation in the virtual space and complete the mission."
"After returning from the virtual space, because I have no physical memories, the effect is only 30% to 50%. However, because I already have the relevant consciousness of this skill, the speed of cultivation in reality is about ten times that of before entering the virtual space."
Twenty-four days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Yang finally completed the task. It took nearly a week less than the expected one month. It was clear that Lin Yang's swordsmanship training was indeed very dedicated and talented.
Lin Yang went into seclusion again and came out again three days later. Because Lin Yang had no bottleneck in the seventh to ninth levels of the late Qi training period, he was promoted to the ninth level naturally after advancing to the eighth level.
While Lin Yang was practicing the Basic Sword Technique, support from his family arrived with a caravan. This time, they included five outstanding Lin family members who were in the early stages of foundation building.
The elders of the family had given them some instructions before they came, but the briefing was not complete, so they only knew that a genius had emerged in their Lin family and they came here to assist this genius.
After arriving, Lin Yang was in seclusion cultivating. Naturally, they couldn't disturb him. They first went to the jade slip workshop to learn about the situation. Seeing the two new versions of the message jade slip, they were immediately convinced of Lin Yang's reputation as a genius.
After learning about the five rules of market management, they were even more shocked. This was a standard, and for a large family like theirs with many base cities, the benefits were too great!
Finally, they couldn't wait any longer, so they stood on a high place far away and watched Lin Yang practicing "Basic Sword Technique" in the training field. They were shocked by Lin Yang's amazing progress, it was simply amazing!
"No wonder the family asked us to come and assist him. Refining, management, and swordsmanship, he's a genius among geniuses in all three areas! What a monster!" All five of them thought.
They didn't know that the "Five Elements Hunyuan Sword Technique" was also "created" by Lin Yang, otherwise they would be even more surprised.
Lin Yang stopped practicing the Basic Sword Technique and after another three days of seclusion, he unexpectedly advanced to the ninth level of Qi training. This made the five of them once again marvel at Lin Yang's amazing talent for cultivation.
Lin Yang's last shortcoming - his cultivation level - was also improving rapidly, making the five of them feel an invisible and deep blow from the genius.
Lin Yang was called to the study, where he was introduced to five people, and was told frankly that they were arranged by the family to assist him.
Lin Yang doesn’t care whether other clan members come or not. He knows that with the help of the system, he will soon advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage and inherit his father’s position as the city lord. So he doesn’t think that they came to seize power. Instead, he feels very happy and thinks that this is the support and attention of the family.
"Lin Yang, you take care of the five of them."
"Well, the Market Administration Bureau I'm setting up needs quite a few people. Let's place them there first. It just so happens that each of the five of you will be responsible for enforcing one regulation."
Although Lin Yang was very happy about the arrival of the five people, he didn't take it too seriously because the system had issued another task.
"Beep—A random mission is being issued: Kill the demon soldiers.
Mission: Kill ten demon soldiers.
Reward: Open system function: Sky Eye - Vital Point. "
After the five people left, Lin Yang proposed to his father to go out of the city to kill the demon soldiers.
"You've just been promoted. Let's consolidate your knowledge today and I'll give you the answer tomorrow."
Lin Yang had no choice but to agree and returned home to practice "Basic Swordsmanship" again. His father was right. After the promotion, there were changes in all aspects of his body, which really needed to be consolidated.
The kendo teacher also said that the practice of "Basic Sword Technique" cannot be stopped, especially after promotion, it is necessary to practice again to allow the changed body to adapt to the "Basic Sword Technique" again and achieve complete control over the body.
After a day of practice, he regained control. Lin Fan reported Lin Yang's intelligence again, noting that Lin Yang had requested to leave the city to kill the demon soldiers.
The Presbyterian Church replied
"Agreed. Be more protective."
Lin Fan took a look and found that as he expected, as long as it was Lin Yang's request, they generally would not refuse.
When Lin Yang came again the next day, Lin Fan agreed to his request and sent a guard team.
"They will only take action when you are in danger." Lin Fan seemed to know what he was going to say and interrupted Lin Yang.
Lin Yang had no choice but to take his guard team out of the city again. Leaving the safe zone, passing through the patrol area, he once again came to the dangerous world outside.
After the demonic disaster, all the animals on the continent mutated and were promoted to demon soldiers, making them invincible. As time went on, some demon soldiers were promoted to demon lieutenants. But fortunately, they could no longer be promoted.
The situation on the front lines was extremely serious, with all of them being demon generals (equivalent to the Golden Core stage) and demon kings (equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage). It was said that the reason no demon generals were born in the rear was because they were defending the front lines.
Otherwise, if demon generals or demon kings were also born in the rear, they would not be able to hold on at all. At that time, it would be the end of the entire cultivation world.
A balance has now formed in the rear area. Cultivators are opposing the base, accepting ordinary people to enter, building cities, setting up safe zones and patrol areas, and concentrating their efforts on preserving the current human race.
Why are there no Jindan-stage cultivators in each base? Because if a Jindan-stage cultivator kills the demon tribe in the rear, a demon will be born. This is a strange balance.
A Jindan cultivator couldn't kill the demons in the rear, so staying there was a waste of combat power. Furthermore, Heaven seemed unwilling to see Jindan cultivators stay in the rear, as it would bring down heavenly tribulation and thunder punishment.
This resulted in a situation where there were no Jindan-stage cultivators in the rear area.
The only ones traveling outside are the caravans of various forces, all of which are composed of cultivators in the advanced foundation-building stage.
Fortunately, although these demon soldiers and demon captains have become demons, they do not have intelligence like the demon generals and above. They still have animal habits and are natural enemies of each other, forming a complete ecosystem. Moreover, each demon has a very strong sense of territory.
This is why the caravans were able to travel between the various base cities. This is why, after the demonic disaster, trade in the cities not only did not stop, but instead flourished.
