Killing monsters earns experience points, and subduing monsters also earns experience points, but the amount is less.
Lin Xiang just found out about this. There are some changes compared to their original design, but this also makes it easier for a small number of players to upgrade by taming monsters, goblins, and spirit beasts.
A lv.8 evil ghost provides 300 experience points, while subduing a lv.11 demonized earthworm gives 1,000 experience points. The difference is huge!
Every ten levels is a major realm. Those below level ten are called wild beasts, and those above level ten are called demon beasts.
Lin Xiang, who had just reached level 5, reached level 6 with the help of the earthworm's huge experience points, and also gained 2 upgrade kits.
"You guys should go to the land temple and rest for the night. Then you can do your activities during the day after the villagers wake up."
Lin Xiang turned to the players and said that he had originally wanted to delay the summoning of players until the morning, but the game system directly determined that the internal test time could not be changed.
Xie Longtao and others looked at the pitch-black surroundings. There were no street lights, not even a fire. They really didn't know where to go.
Going back to the land temple would at least be safer, and at the same time, it would also help improve the favorability of this mysterious sacrificial spirit.
Han Mu and others felt a little regretful. Whether it was the evil ghost or the monster, they all looked very powerful. If they participated in it, they would definitely gain a lot of experience.
At the same time, they are also more hopeful.
Isn’t the combat style in this game exactly what I expected?
They were worried that they had no way to contact the sacrificial spirit, so they all nodded.
"Thank you, Master Ji Ling, for taking me in."
"We will stay in the land temple and not run around."
These players have already decided that they must turn the land temple upside down, perhaps there will be hidden opportunities there.
This is how it is portrayed in TV dramas and novels.
After Lin Xiang finished speaking, he disappeared in front of everyone in a flash, leaving them dumbfounded.
At this time, the village chief Wang Minghai did not leave. He squatted down with a torch in hand, carefully examined the damaged ground, and could not help but sigh, "Now more and more evil demons are beginning to attack the village. I don't know when it will end!"
"Uncle village chief, don't worry. With us here, it will be easy to deal with these monsters and demons." Taoist Tai Er patted his chest and said seriously. He felt that this was about to trigger the mission.
On the other side, Yu Xiaoqi was secretly excited as she looked at the traces left by the demonized earthworm. She had already imagined herself flying on a sword and subduing demons.
It’s a pity that the players now don’t know anything, not even the most basic martial arts, let alone practice.
…
Lin Xiang couldn't wait to return to the land temple. At this time, the guardian spirit beast earthworm had curled up in a ball in the corner of the land temple and started to rest.
There was abundant spiritual energy here, and the faint scent of Shinto incense, all of which made it begin to absorb it seriously.
Although the earthworm did not look good, Lin Xiang did not give up on it. After all, he did not want it to be a mount, but a spiritual beast for agricultural planting.
Perhaps this earthworm has been helping the villagers to cultivate and loosen the soil for many years and has accumulated merits. It would not be surprising if it could turn into a dragon and ascend to heaven one day.
When Lin Xiang and his team were setting up the game, they referred to various folk legends, including the legend of the walking dragon.
The several fruit trees in the yard were also slowly absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy, and everyone was improving imperceptibly.
"Let's see what good things these two treasure bags can bring out!"
He was penniless now, so anything he opened would be useful, and he didn't worry about duplication at all.
The brocade bag opened, and a sharp sword ball appeared and spun in the air.
If Lin Xiang hadn't been paying attention, it would even have wanted to escape.
[Golden Spirit Sword Pill: A mid-grade magical weapon, indestructible, flexible and retractable, with an attack range of 30-50. Each attack has armor-breaking and bleeding effects. It has a low chance of causing serious injuries and a very low chance of causing instant kills.]
This sword ball was full of spiritual energy. After Lin Xiang held it in his palm, it forcibly recognized its master and then automatically flew and rotated around his body.
As soon as Lin Xiang thought about it, the Golden Spirit Sword Ball stretched its body and condensed into a golden sword light, which looked very sharp.
With this weapon, Lin Xiang felt that his combat effectiveness was at least 30% stronger!
Its properties are considered excellent among ordinary magic tools. Not to mention the Qi Refining Stage, it can be used even after the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Lin Xiang is not a pure sword cultivator, but he can also bring out all the abilities of the sword pill.
In troubled times, a suitable weapon is very hard to come by.
"Very good, very good. Flying on a sword and taking the enemy's head from thousands of miles away is no longer a dream." Lin Xiang now relies on his spiritual power to command the sword ball to perform the Nine Pure Yang Swords. For a moment, the land temple was filled with sword energy.
After completing a set of sword techniques, he chose to retract the sword pill into his body.
Then the Golden Spirit Sword Pill turned into Gengjin Qi and entered the lungs through the nasal cavity, and was slowly nourished by the immortal body.
Among the five internal organs, the lungs belong to metal, which matches the properties of the sword pill.
How can an ordinary human body compare to his divine body? Not only does it not have a bottleneck period, but even his internal organs are in the best condition and do not need repeated tempering and improvement.
Lin Xiang was a little excited, "Maybe using the immortal spirit to nourish it can elevate it from a magic tool to a magic treasure."
In "Ascension", the weapon levels are simple and clear, namely ordinary weapons, magic weapons, magic treasures, and immortal weapons.
Each level is divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade and top-grade.
Even if low-level cultivators obtain magic weapons or immortal artifacts, it is difficult for them to unleash their full power. They may even have their spiritual power drained away and die from exhaustion!
Lin Xiang is only level 6 now and already has a mid-grade magic weapon. He is really lucky.
At this time, he opened the second upgrade bag, and found a handful of seeds inside.
[Spiritual Valley Seed: Low-grade spiritual valley. After taking it, it will increase spiritual power and speed up the tempering of the body.]
Food is the most important thing for people, and the same goes for monks.
Only when you reach the Foundation Establishment Stage can you practice fasting. Practitioners in the Qi Refining Stage still need to eat to sustain life.
Ordinary grains contain impurities and are not suitable for cultivation. One needs to use spiritual grains, spiritual medicines, spiritual dew, and monster meat.
Even if ordinary people do not have spiritual roots, they can still eat spiritual grains, which can strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives.
As the saying goes, "the poor are good at literature, the rich at martial arts." Practicing martial arts requires maintaining sufficient Qi and blood. The patrol and hunting teams of Dongshan Village lived off the land, barely managing to fill their bellies. However, their Qi and blood were constantly deficient, making it difficult to achieve a full state. Consequently, their advancement was slow.
With these spiritual grains, their bodies can fill the gaps.
However, the growing conditions of spiritual grain are very picky. It cannot be directly planted in the field. It needs enough spiritual energy, otherwise it will not germinate at all.
Dongshan Village has no spiritual veins, and there is not much spiritual energy in the air, but it is also attracted to the land temple.
"It would be great if that tiny spiritual vein in the God's Villa could be moved here." Lin Xiang sighed again. The resources he had were really not enough.
Spiritual grains need sunlight and rain to grow, and cannot grow in a dark cave. If there is not enough spiritual energy, then spiritual stones are needed, but this is too extravagant.
Lin Xiang can only put the spiritual grain seeds aside now.
It would be difficult for him to do so many things alone.
However, the appearance of players can greatly reduce his work pressure, not to mention the help of earthworms. This kind of spirit beast-level earthworm is rare even in many immortal cultivation sects.
After he counted his harvest, the players returned to the land temple under the leadership of the village chief Wang Minghai.
Even though Han Mu and the others didn't know what was happening, they could still keenly sense the remaining sharpness of the sword energy, and they couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end.
"You guys should rest, and don't destroy the buildings in the temple." Lin Xiang's voice came in the void, and he returned to the statue of the land god and began to practice the Pure Yang Technique.
He used his spiritual power to carve the first level of the Pure Yang Art on the pillar in a very malicious way, and players can learn the first level for free.
There is nothing truly free in the world. The freer something is, the more expensive it is.
The first level of skills is free, so any player can get started.
However, the second and third levels required players to pay or work hard. Lin Xiang quietly laid out the plan so that the five beta testers wouldn't be bored to death.
There is no bottleneck in his practice, but he still needs to practice, especially after the players enter, he must stay ahead.
Bingxue Piaopiao bowed to the statue, then found a cushion on the ground to sit on, and her eyes slowly scanned everything around her.
The candlelight flickered, and everything around was in shadow.
In the quiet mountain village at night, the barking of a dog can be clearly heard, and the unknown calls of birds and roars of beasts in the distant mountains and forests make people tremble.
Xie Longtao named himself the game Mint Coke. With his nickname, he began to wander around the land temple, looking around.
"What should we do now? Are we just going to sit here all night?" Yu Xiaoqi looked at the dark mountain village outside and didn't want to waste time.
Master Tai Er agreed and said, "I also think it's not a good idea to keep us in here right after entering the game. Do you want to go out and explore?"
"Let's make two torches and take a good look at this village."
"I think it's okay."
Unlike them, Han Mu thought carefully about the spirit's request, and always felt that the other party's words had deep meaning.
But one person's plan is always short and two people's plan is long, so he plans to find someone to discuss it with.
"Do you think that the spirit offering sacrifices to us to return to the Earth God Temple is not so simple? Perhaps he is hinting at something for us." Han Mu said to the other four people: "If we find out, we may get unexpected rewards."
Master Tai Er said without getting annoyed: "I hate those NPCs who keep talking nonsense. If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Bingxue Piaopiao gave her own guess: "Actually, I think this is a bit like the scene where Sun Wukong went to Bodhi Patriarch to learn the seventy-two transformations. The spirit sacrifice gave a hint, and it depends on whether we can understand it."
After this, Xie Longtao didn't hesitate at all. He knelt down on the cushion and kowtowed three times respectfully: "Master Jiling, Master Land God, please teach me the skills!"
Han Mu saw his friend's action and didn't want to say that he knew him.
Yu Xiaoqi asked with concern: "How is it? Are there any prompts from the game system?"
The author has something to say:
Thanks to Jiujie, Li Yu, Yun Shujun, Li Yu, Liu Yan Feiyu, Civil Affairs Bureau, A Cabbage Called Zhen, Delusion of Love, Lin Zi and other cute people for their votes~~
Thank you little cuties for the nutrient solution, love you~~~
The author had a minor surgery after finishing the last book. Now he works during the day and writes at night, so he doesn’t have any drafts and the update speed is slow.
Once I get comfortable writing, my efficiency will improve, and I'll try to update more often. I'll update 6,000 words a day after V, and occasionally add more. I hope everyone will support me~~~
