Currently, these players are all summoned by him, and there will be a prompt when one of them dies.
There are always deaths in playing games.
Originally, Lin Xiang had prepared himself mentally, but now he felt very strange.
Players who go to the mountains to explore, dig herbs, and kill wild beasts are fine. Players who go to the mountain village to cause trouble for bandits and robbers are also fine. Players who go to Qifeng Town are groping around, but why are the players who stay in Dongshan Village in danger of their lives?
The last player appeared at the bank of a small river outside Dongshan Village. It was unknown whether he died by drowning or encountered a monster.
"I hope it's not a water ghost or a water monkey."
Far water cannot quench near thirst. Lin Xiang, who was far away at the Ascension Conference, had no time to go back and check.
Because the old swordsman carrying the wine gourd obviously did not expect that someone could comprehend the sword skills from the painting so quickly. He knew that there were many geniuses in the world, but could this young man be one of them?
"Show me."
Of course, it’s not enough to just talk about it, you have to practice it.
The old swordsman knew that this painting was drawn by himself after observing his master's sword severing the flow of water. No one in the world should be able to know this in advance.
Lin Xiang has already prepared to make a splash, so he is not afraid of anything.
The Great River Sword Technique has been learned in the game panel. Although it is a little awkward to perform now, it is still continuous, just like the surging water of a great river!
As he went on, Lin Xiang's movements became smoother, and he fully displayed this set of sword techniques that combined defense and offense, without missing any moves.
The Dahe Sword Technique turned out to be a mid-grade sword technique, much more powerful than the Pure Yang Nine Swords he had obtained before.
As for the Gengjin Sword Technique, it is even worse, not even a low-grade sword technique. It is just a sword technique that cultivators learn for beginners, so it only costs 10 spirit stones.
From here we can also see the wealth of Qingwei Sword Sect!
Even if the fifty candidates fail to enter the sect after reaching this stage, they will be able to comprehend some mid-level sword techniques and will not return empty-handed.
This is actually the way that Qingwei Sword Sect makes friends.
After all, the eliminated cultivators are all top-grade spiritual roots under the age of twenty, but they are just not suitable for learning swordsmanship. If they go to other super sects, they will definitely be accepted into their sects.
With this little bit of kinship involved, the other party at least won't develop hatred towards the Qingwei Sword Sect.
Lin Xiang took back the long sword that the sword ball had transformed into, and his whole mental state was different. It was like a long sword that had been wiped and sharpened, sharp and yet profound and majestic.
"Dahe Sword Skill proficiency +1, proficiency required to upgrade 1/500."
The reminder on the game panel also allowed Lin Xiang to see how big the gap in proficiency requirements was between mid-grade swordsmanship and low-grade swordsmanship.
As a low-grade sword technique, the Chunyang Sword Technique only requires 100 points of proficiency to upgrade, but here it directly becomes 500 points!
This actually allows players to make reasonable choices. It is not the case that the higher the level of the skills or spells, the more suitable they are for you.
The stronger the skills, the more difficult it is to upgrade. If you practice low-grade skills and spells to perfection, you can turn them into something magical.
Everyone's gaming time is relatively limited and must be allocated reasonably, otherwise you may end up not being able to do anything.
You can't chew too much!
Lin Xiang's proficiency in the Pure Yang Sword Technique has reached 94/100. Perhaps it will be upgraded to level two today, and its power will be enhanced.
All spells and swordsmanship can gain 1 point of proficiency when practiced alone, but can gain 2 or even 3 points of proficiency during the actual combat stage. The game is to encourage everyone not to be a nerd, but to try to practice as much as possible!
Just as he was thinking, the old sword immortal showed a satisfied look: "Not bad, your comprehension is very high, you have passed the test."
At this time, the other forty-nine people were still trying to comprehend it, but Lin Xiang had already performed it perfectly.
Most of them were not affected by Lin Xiang's actions, but a few of them still became very impatient. It seemed that the gap between people was a bit too big.
Immediately afterwards, another man in a blue and white Taoist robe handed over a jade slip and warned, "Junior brother, congratulations on joining our Qingwei Sword Sect. You and the others will soon go to the mountain gate to formally become disciples. This is a brief introduction to the Sword Sect and its rules. You must memorize them by heart and never violate them."
"I'll read it carefully."
Lin Xiang took the jade slip. He didn't rush to read the contents inside, but instead focused his attention on the game forum.
After such a long period of closed beta testing, a player finally died. This is definitely a major event in the game and will inevitably cause a sensation.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the game forum, he saw the complaints that had been pushed to the top of the trending posts.
《Zhao, I was killed by the mud monster!》
The poster is called Tractorski, and it is obvious that he is not a guy who intends to immerse himself in the game.
Just looking at the title, Lin Xiang wanted to laugh.
At the same time, there was still a hint of doubt in my mind. How could there be monsters in my territory?
As the god of land, he certainly has a thorough understanding of this area.
At least there were no monsters in his perception, otherwise they would have been killed long ago.
Lin Xiang would not allow any demons or monsters to attack the villagers of Dongshan Village. Could it be that this so-called mud monster wandered over from somewhere else?
When he just received the news that a player had died, he thought the player had drowned or been dragged into the water by a water ghost or water monkey. Now that he found out it was a mud monster, he actually breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, I originally traded my fishing net and rod for a villager, intending to fish for eternity in this part of the Longxi River. Fishing earns experience points, and you can trade your catch with villagers for supplies or sell them. After all, I'm a pretty good fisherman in real life.
Everything was going fine at first. I caught a lot of carp and crucian carp and successfully reached level 2.
[But just as I was about to cast my net to catch fish, a dark creature suddenly rushed over from the shore and covered me with its hands.]
[No matter what, I couldn't break free, and I couldn't even ask for help.]
[It wasn't until my character died that I realized from the panel that I had been killed by a mud monster!]
[Friends, please be careful and don't get too close to Longxi River. This monster is actually level 17. How could it come to the Novice Village and cause trouble for us?]
The most important thing is, I can't even be resurrected yet. My soul is floating in the Earth God Temple, unable to go anywhere. It takes an hour to resurrect. The death penalty is really severe, but thankfully, it still counts after logging off. It's better than those two guys locked in the dark room, so it's a blessing in disguise.
Tractorski is generally quite optimistic. After all, the level is low, so no matter how severe the death penalty is, it won't be that harsh.
If you die after you have reached a high level and have a fatter wallet, you will be heartbroken even if you are resurrected.
This post was published a few minutes ago, but it has received a lot of comments, even from players who are participating in the internal test.
Mint Cola: "How do I kill a level 17 sludge monster? I don't even know where its weakness is. Should I burn it with fire?"
Chibi Maru-chan: "Brother, which land temple are you in? We didn't see you in the temple in Fangshi."
Fallen: "Fishermen deserve to be killed. If it's not the mud monster that kills you today, it will be the fish monster that kills you tomorrow. Hahahaha!"
Li Chunchun: "It takes an hour to revive? That's a bit long."
Yijian Xilai: "Can you shorten the resurrection time?"
Zui Qiufeng: "I want to help the poster get revenge, but I don't know how to do it. I'm afraid I'll get involved too."
Of course, some people also suggested that the author of the post, Tractorski, seize the opportunity to look at the words on the pillars of the land temple to see if he could learn the exercises in a soul state.
Previously, the Dongshan Village Land Temple had been blocked, and the 100 subsequent beta test players were unable to obtain the Pure Yang Jue technique.
Tractorski actually got in in this buggy way, which can be considered another opportunity.
But he was left with only his soul, and the whole world was plunged into black and white. He had no way of learning and could not get any prompts for learning skills in the game.
The beta test players, whose levels are generally below lv.5, have very few skills and are simply unable to deal with lv.17 monsters.
Not to mention that there is a one-hour death penalty ahead, so no one dares to go there rashly. Even the villagers were told that there was a monster in the creek where they had been washing clothes for a long time.
Lin Xiang really wanted to fight with this monster, but it actually fled from other places to his territory, which was really embarrassing.
The timing is not right now. It would be impossible for this sword cultivator's body to turn back into a clay figure in front of everyone.
He only hoped that the others would comprehend faster and enter the sect earlier, so that they would have private time and could transfer their consciousness back to the Dongshan Village Land Temple.
As for the safety of Dongshan Village and Huanyu Market, there is no need to worry.
The Five Elements Wu Earth Formation that was built at a huge cost is not just for decoration!
What Lin Xiang needs to do now is to improve his strength as quickly as possible, use the pseudonym to obtain enough resources from the top sect Qingwei Sword Sect, and then use them to build his own Huanyu Market.
No one would have thought that the sacrificial spirit of a remote mountain village and a disciple of a top sect would be the same person.
In fact, Lin Xiang really needs a channel to digest and obtain resources, otherwise it would be too difficult to be a casual cultivator, and now the basic things on him are not yet complete.
Anyway, no one knows each other in the Qingwei Sword Sect, so he can sell the pills he had refined before, and he can also buy spiritual medicines and spiritual medicine seeds.
Such a large sect must have a place for mutual trade.
Since they are all from the same sect, the transaction is much safer and more reliable, and he won't be targeted when trading in the market like the original owner of the space ring.
The few pills in Lin Xiang's hand were nothing in the huge Qingwei Sword Sect, and could even be considered the poorest.
"I'm probably the poorest person in the whole square, right?"
He pondered in his mind.
Only after players reach level ten will they become poorer than him.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xiang finally put his consciousness into the jade slip and obtained a series of information about the Qingwei Sword Sect and the sect's rules and requirements.
The Qingwei Sword Sect is divided into seventy-two peaks, representing seventy-two different inheritances.
Disciples who enter the sect automatically become outer disciples and are assigned to different sword peaks based on their choice of skills.
Even if a strong man accepts a disciple, the disciple will only have the status and treatment of an outer disciple, and their master will only provide additional resources.
The requirement for entering the inner gate is to build the foundation. As for the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages, they are the backbone. The stronger cultivators in the God Transformation, Tribulation Crossing and Mahayana stages are usually the peak masters or elders.
The leader of the Qingwei Sword Sect is chosen in turn from among the seventy-two peaks. Whoever is the strongest will be the leader. It is extremely simple and brutal.
This also intensified the competition among the various sword peaks within the sect. The disciples were extremely combative, and sparring was commonplace.
However, these competitions must be conducted in special areas, and private fighting is not allowed in other places.
Then the jade slip listed the main inheritance list of the seventy-two peaks, and the newly-initiated disciples had to choose the appropriate sword peak according to the characteristics of their own spiritual roots.
For example, Lin Xiang's sword cultivator vest is best to choose a sword peak with gold or fire attribute skills. Only after the two are in harmony can he improve rapidly.
So many sword techniques and inheritances simply dazzled him. There were even many sword peaks that belonged to the chaotic attribute, which could be cultivated by any spiritual root, not limited to the attribute.
He looked down one by one, and suddenly a familiar voice came to his ears.
"Boy, seeing that you have good comprehension, I suggest you choose Taixuan Peak."
This was the second round examiner, the old swordsman, who transmitted the message intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Xiang was not clear about the other party's identity, but he felt that the other party must be extraordinary since he could preside over the entrance examination of Qingwei Sword Sect, so he found the introduction of Taixuan Peak in the jade slip.
"Taixuan Peak, the current peak master, Master Yun Ye, is at the Tribulation Crossing stage and has inherited the Taixuan Sword Scripture. It requires extremely high comprehension, and anyone with any spiritual roots can practice it."
In terms of comprehension, Lin Xiang having cheats in the game system is not a problem at all.
The introduction to each sword peak is very detailed, and the data seems to be updated in real time, such as the specific number of disciples on each mountain.
Taixuan Peak is one of the sword peaks with the fewest disciples in the Qingwei Sword Sect, with a total of more than 800 people, ranking 69th, only more than the other three sword peaks that require special fate and spiritual roots.
The peak master is obviously extremely powerful, but because the Taixuan Sword Sutra is abstruse and obscure, he has few disciples.
Every year there are even disciples who switch to other peaks due to slow progress in their cultivation!
Lin Xiang just showed an extraordinary comprehension. He comprehended the middle-grade Dahe Sword Technique after only looking at the scroll for half a cup of tea. No wonder the old swordsman specially sent him telepathic instructions.
"Could it be that this senior is also a member of Taixuan Peak?"
No wonder he thought so. Under normal circumstances, he would pull the good seedlings to his side instead of pushing others.
Anyway, during the outer sect disciple stage, one can change the sword peak once a year. If one makes the wrong choice, it will only delay one year at most, which is still within an acceptable range.
He planned to accept the advice of this senior, maybe he would have a backer in the future.
An hour seemed to have come to a sudden halt. Including Lin Xiang, only six people had successfully comprehended it, including Xu Man. Fifty young cultivators with superior spiritual roots, and only six ultimately became outer disciples of the Qingwei Sword Sect—a truly low probability.
This also shows how high the selection standards of super pies are!
However, as long as players enter on a large scale, these sects will undergo earth-shaking changes, and there will be no shortage of disciples.
"Time is up. Friends who haven't mastered the sword technique can go to other sects."
The old sword immortal waved his long sleeves, and the forty-four unsuccessful candidates were pushed directly out of the Qingwei Sword Sect, making them all feel very depressed.
He is clearly a genius among geniuses, but he has no chance of becoming a swordsman!
Xu Man was still terrified and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I have understood it, otherwise I would be the same as them. My ancestors would definitely be very disappointed and now they are counting on me to enter the Qingwei Sword Sect."
For a cultivation family, having an outstanding child enter a top sect is undoubtedly a major event, which can consolidate the family's status.
Even if a strong person wants to deal with the Xu family, he has to consider whether he can afford to offend the top sects.
"I was right. Senior Brother Lin, you are really strong. You understood it so quickly!" Xu Man said excitedly.
Lin Xiang was a little modest: "No, no, it might be just luck, a blessing came to my mind at that time."
The old sword immortal pointed to the teleportation array behind him and said, "Let's go. We will teleport to the sect's mountain gate. Quickly decide which sword peak you want to go to. There will be disciples to guide you there."
"I have made up my mind and am ready to go to Taixuan Peak." Lin Xiang said bluntly. With such a big boss in front of him, it would be best if he could hug him.
Sure enough, the old swordsman showed a satisfied smile.
"A wise choice. Taixuan Peak is a good fit for you."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and did not give Lin Xiang any special treatment.
Xu Man said, "I plan to go to Thick Earth Peak. The Thick Earth Eighteen Swords there are very compatible with my attributes, so it will be easier for me to practice. Senior Brother Lin, this is my name card. We can visit each other more often and exchange ideas."
"Yes, we are from the same era after all. After entering the Qingwei Sword Sect, we are fellow disciples. You can keep in touch when you have time." Another man dressed as a young man said, "My name is Song Lunhao, and I am preparing to go to Qianji Peak."
Soon the remaining three also exchanged names. They had already decided which peak to go to, but Lin Xiang was the only one who had no idea.
Lin Xiang stepped back onto the teleportation array and before he knew it, he was in front of a tall building. This building was located on the top of a mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist. In the distance, the peaks stood proudly, as if they were floating in the sky.
The spiritual energy is rich, and cranes fly by leisurely with their wings spread, as if the world has become much fresher, like a paradise in the universe.
"Could it be that the Qingwei Sword Sect also has a blessed land?"
He thought about it and realized that this was actually not strange.
It would be strange if even the most powerful sword-cultivating sect in the Southern Continent didn't have a blessed place.
What Lin Xiang cared about most were the shops in the sect. He couldn't wait to buy enough seeds to plant in his own spiritual fields, especially the cave seeds that were still developing, which could improve the varieties from the innate level.
"My fellow disciples, please follow me. This is the Patriarch's Hall. Come and pay your respects to the Patriarchs."
The female cultivator in a Taoist robe was serious and led everyone into the Ancestral Hall, where at the top was the statue of Yuanshi Tianzun!
"Our Qingwei Sword Sect is descended from the Jade Purity Yuanshi Tianzun of Qingwei Heaven. Our founder, Qingwei Zhenren, attained enlightenment in Yuxu Palace and later passed on his teachings to the lower realms. Throughout our sect, one hundred and fifty-one of our ancestors have ascended to heaven. One day, you, my fellow disciples, may also become one of them. Please burn incense now!"
After saying this, the female cultivator respectfully lit a bunch of incense and then inserted it into the incense burner.
"The ancestors will reward you for your first incense offering. The more sincere your heart, the higher the reward. Remember, don't be sneaky or cunning."
Lin Xiang and others followed suit and lit the incense stick.
It has always been others who burn incense for me, but this time it is my turn, and I burn incense for my colleagues in heaven.
Although the rank of the land god is very low and he has no chance to participate in the Peach Festival held in the Heavenly Palace, he is at least a righteous god with talismans on his head.
Therefore, Lin Xiang's burning of incense and worship generated much more incense than the other five people.
"Greetings to all the ancestors!"
After kowtowing, the six people all had the illusion of being connected with a distant existence.
But they soon realized that this was not an illusion.
Because six balls of light appeared in front of everyone’s cushion, which were obviously the gifts from the ancestors.
"Haven't all the immortals on earth disappeared? Why are these immortals who have ascended to heaven still receiving incense and giving benefits?"
Lin Xiang had countless questions in his mind, but no one could answer them at this time.
Everyone accepted the ball of light tacitly, and no one took the initiative to tell others what they got.
This is the benefit of having top-level inheritance. You can get good things as soon as you get started.
Lin Xiang looked at his harvest and found that in the ball of light there was an apricot kernel surrounded by fairy air!
The flesh has disappeared, but the core remains.
[Xianxing Apricot Kernel: A mysterious apricot kernel that can be planted and will be downgraded to an acquired spiritual root after growth.]
It is not a martial art, nor a magic weapon, nor a talisman, but an apricot kernel produced from an innate spiritual root!
It is well known that the seeds of many plants will degenerate after being planted.
But for Lin Xiang, an acquired spiritual root is already very powerful and its value is higher than all the items on him!
Moreover, the seed of the cave is developing and expanding, and the innate energy produced may allow this fairy apricot kernel to maintain its innate state and prevent it from degenerating.
"Could this level of fairy apricot be what Lei Zhenzi left over?" Lin Xiang made a bold guess, mainly because its name and origin were very strange.
Lei Zhenzi is the disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun. After eating two fairy apricots, he obtained the wings of wind and thunder and made great military achievements.
If it really was the apricot kernel he left over, then he really made a fortune!
Lin Xiang was eager to return to Dongshan Village to plant it.
But he did not leave impulsively. Instead, he planned to collect the benefits of an outer disciple first, and then go to the market to buy some common spiritual medicines, spiritual grains and even spiritual beasts to bring back.
It takes 100 incense points to teleport once, so it must be as cost-effective as possible, otherwise it would be a waste.
"The unique skills and techniques of the Qingwei Sword Sect cannot be sold to players, but you can buy some common, general, and popular items back so that they won't be recognized."
All six of them were smiling happily, and each of them was very satisfied with the gift from the ancestor.
In addition to offering incense to the ancestors, it is more about leaving an imprint of the soul on them, so that if something happens in the future, we can find clues through the ancestors in heaven.
Outer disciples of Qingwei Sword Sect can receive one hundred low-grade spirit stones and two bottles of Red Dragon Pills to increase their cultivation level each year. New disciples do not need to complete any tasks within five years, they just need to study and practice hard.
Lin Xiang also received a set of light gray disciple robes of low-grade magical weapon level and a standard flying sword of low-grade magical weapon level.
Before he even had the time to go to Taixuan Peak to find his own courtyard, he and Xu Man had already arrived at the market inside the sect, ready to have a bloody fight.
Various shouts can be heard one after another, there are big shops and small stalls, and there are crowds of people, it is extremely lively!
"A freshly baked top-grade talisman, only one hundred top-grade spirit stones are needed, don't miss it!"
"I just hunted a Foundation Establishment Stage Red Tiger. Do you need it, brothers and sisters?"
"Our shop sells all kinds of elixirs and magical medicines. Come and take a look, Senior Brother!"
"You can bargain for the sundry things you find while traveling down the mountain, and you can look at them at will."
"I'm selling a cave with a spiritual spring, located in the Great Zhou. If you're interested, please contact me with a flying sword!"
The author has something to say:
The outline idea of this article is that the protagonist strengthens his strength, obtains good things, and then builds Dongshan Village and Huanyu Market.
You can’t become fat in one go, it’s better to improve step by step, so don’t be impatient, my dears~~~
