Lin Xiang, who had never given up halfway, had to stop refining the elixir. The Qingxin Pill that had been formed in the earth furnace instantly turned into a ball of black ash.
Lin Xiang's soul immediately descended upon the statue in Xishan Village, and at the same time began to spread his spiritual awareness in all directions, trying to see what was going on.
The surviving players didn't have much health left. Yu Xiaoqi finally cast a spell to attack. A beast roared in the darkness, and then it rushed forward directly, breaking through the magic circle!
A pair of green eyes looked like will-o'-the-wisp, looking extremely creepy.
The magic removal circle itself is set up to target the lowest level of ghosts and only has a warning effect on physical monsters.
Yu Xiaoqi only hated that the long sword in his hand was of too poor quality. Even after infusing it with spiritual power, it was unable to break through the defense. He could only watch his teammates being beaten to pieces.
Fortunately, the game is not so cruel as to make players' blood, internal organs, and brains burst. Normal injuries do cause bleeding, but once the threshold is exceeded, it will just be a situation where mud and dirt fly everywhere.
After all, this is also an alternative reality, their bodies are indeed made of clay.
Beating the players to pieces feels like crushing them to ashes.
"Sister Xiaoqi, retreat quickly!"
"We can't defeat them, let's inform Master Jiling quickly."
"Damn, its defense is so high! I lost a drop of health when I hit it."
"If you can't break the defense, you definitely can't win. Run away."
"Give me a magical sword, and I'll definitely be able to kill it."
Yu Xiaoqi really didn't expect that the opponent would be so strong. Not only did he have high defense, but he was also extremely powerful. If you were hit by it, you would either die or be injured.
Huang Laosan, a villager from Xishan Village, heard the rumbling footsteps approaching and trembled with fear, "Lady, the monster is coming in. What should we do?"
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Lin Xiang's voice suddenly came from behind them, and then a hairy ape covered with black hair appeared at the entrance of Xishan Village.
The ape was nearly five meters tall, its body covered in muscle, its long arms nearly dragging on the ground, its fangs stained with fresh blood, and its pair of green eyes frightened the surviving players and villagers to the point of paralysis.
"Master Ji Ling, be careful! This monster is a level 15 Green-Eyed Ghost Ape. It has very strong defense!"
When Yu Xiaoqi reminded him, Lin Xiang also used his detection skills and obtained detailed information.
[Green-eyed Ghost Ape: Level 15 demon beast, feeds on ghosts and demon beasts, and has a brutal personality.]
If this ghost ape wasn't so brutal, it would definitely be the best choice for offering sacrifices to the spirits. At that time, all the invading ghosts and monsters would be swallowed up by it and turned into food.
But now it actually ran out from the wilderness and attacked Xishan Village.
Of course, Lin Xiang would not be polite to it. The Panlong Whip in his hand kept growing bigger, as if there was really a golden dragon, and smashed directly towards the ghost ape.
He was different from the others. Many cultivators would come up and test the enemy slowly, and only use their killing moves when they could no longer hold on.
You'll have to cast the most powerful spell sooner or later anyway, so why not use it right from the start?
Start with the king bomb first!
This is different from playing Landlord. In Landlord, there are many bad cards to play. Lin Xiang only needs to severely damage the enemy at the beginning and then slowly deal with it.
Recently, he has gained a lot of Five Virtues Qi by guarding Dongshan Village and providing assistance to Xishan Village, carrying out infrastructure construction, improving the environment in the jurisdiction, etc. Several players have also handed in some Five Virtues Qi, and the function of the Panlong Whip has revived a little.
When he used the Panlong Whip to beat the Great Zhou cultivator Feng Jianan, Lin Xiang had a vague illusion that he was acting on behalf of heaven, as if he was blessed by heaven.
The same is true when attacking the ghost ape now. The Panlong Whip, which already has the ability to drive away gods and mountains, suddenly grows in size and becomes a divine dragon, adding the power of the mountain and whipping it down heavily.
The ghost ape clenched its claws into fists and punched the sky, even opening its mouth and letting out a powerful roar.
The huge roar scared all the livestock and poultry in Xishan Village to the ground, and even some timid chickens and ducks died directly.
One carried the power of a mountain downwards, the other went up in anger, the Coiling Dragon Whip and the Ghost Ape Fist suddenly collided, and the winner was decided!
Even Feng Jianan, who had reached the great perfection of the 19th level of Qi Refining, could not withstand the power of the Panlong Whip with a medium-grade magic shield, let alone this ghost ape which was only level 15.
Even if it is born with supernatural powers, even if its bones are amazing, it cannot withstand the power of the mountain.
The ground was cracked!
His arms were shaking back and forth like noodles, and his health bar dropped by two-thirds!
Lin Xiang took advantage of the situation and did not show mercy to the ape. He used the Panlong Whip as a long sword and unleashed the Nine Pure Yang Swords.
The green-eyed ghost ape was in unbearable pain. Its arms were shattered and it couldn't lift them at all, so it had no way to launch an attack.
Although his facial expression was still very ferocious, his feet were retreating out of the village.
Letting a tiger go back to the mountains is definitely not a good thing. Lin Xiang immediately caught up with him and smashed his heart with the Panlong Whip, pocketing the experience points.
The battle lasted only a few breaths.
When the huge body of the green-eyed ghost ape fell down, the dust on the ground was raised.
As the overlord of the surrounding area, this ghost ape is so ferocious that no other monsters dare to follow it.
The lingering aura of it scared the demons so much that they dared not come near!
These evil spirits are actually bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong. They dare to bully villages that have sacrificial spirits, but they dare not provoke the ghost apes that can eat them.
[Kill the lv.15 Green-Eyed Ghost Ape and gain 1500 experience points!]
Since the levels are relatively close, the experience points gained from killing the ghost ape are not enough for Lin Xiang to upgrade. Now it takes 48,000 from lv.12 to lv13, which is an exponential increase.
Players also have experience from completing tasks, but they can only gain experience through three ways: killing and subduing monsters, practicing martial arts, and the number of believers they have every day.
Lin Xiang has no so-called bottleneck. His goal is to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage before the war reaches Dongshan Village.
Today's fight against the ghost ape made him realize the lack of his means of dealing with the enemy. Without revealing his swordsman identity, he could only rely on the magic weapon Panlong Whip.
The rest of the spells are not enough to deal with the ghost ape, as they lack large-scale killing moves.
The land god's soul-guiding ritual is aimed at ghosts and evil spirits, and has little effect on monsters.
This ghost ape was quite rare, so Lin Xiang put it into the game package and said to the others, "You all have worked hard. There shouldn't be any more monsters or demons appearing tonight. Everyone, get some rest. I will always protect this village."
Yu Xiaoqi was quite brave. She stepped forward and said, "Master Ji Ling, evil spirits are rampant outside right now. We want to reduce the number of demons and monsters in the surrounding area and provide a safe living environment for the common people. However, we lack suitable weapons and cannot inflict sufficient damage to these demons and monsters."
She was just talking and didn't think she could really get anything out of it.
It's normal to be rejected by NPC anyway.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiang pulled out a hammer that flashed with lightning and said to her, "From now on, this weapon will serve as the guardian weapon of Xishan Village. Every day, the captains of the Xishan Village patrol teams will take turns to control this weapon."
Dongshan Village is protected by the Five Elements Wu Earth Formation, while Xishan Village has no formation protection, so they simply take out an offensive magic weapon to protect the village.
He didn't want to suddenly rush back to put out a fire while he was fighting in the Qingwei Sword Sect's trial tower.
The right thing to do is to let players protect Xishan Village!
Anyway, the Thunder Hammer was a magic weapon that was searched out of Feng Jianan's space bag. This guy killed the sacrificial spirit of Xishan Village, so it was reasonable to use his magic weapon to protect Xishan Village.
Yu Xiaoqi was stunned when he saw the magic weapon in front of him.
The other players also looked at Lin Xiang and the weapons over there in disbelief.
"No way? Sister Xiaoqi, you can get the Novice Village artifact just by asking?"
"I found that Ji Ling is really easy to talk to. He seems like a really good person."
"No, he's a good god."
"Let me see the attributes of this weapon."
“So it can be done this way!”
"This game has such a high degree of freedom. Giving equipment directly to players is awesome!"
While everyone was amazed, some players also wanted to follow suit.
"Master Ji Ling, although my cultivation is very low, I also want to contribute my own strength to the people of Dongshan Village and Xishan Village."
"Me too! Even so many monsters and demons can't stop my determination."
"My biggest worry now is my lack of strength. Master Ji Ling, do you have any method to quickly improve my strength?"
Lin Xiang understood their thoughts very well. They just thought he was a sucker and wanted to take advantage of him.
The tasks are all in the task bar, and the experience points allocated for today have been used up.
So he smiled at these players and said solemnly: "Practice your skills well. I see that none of you take this matter to heart."
Players all put upgrading first, after all, the benefits of leveling up are visible to the naked eye.
Practicing martial arts is boring and tedious, not to mention that you can practice automatically when you are offline, so why waste time online?
Don’t focus on improving your proficiency in the technique now, wait until you reach level 19 before practicing hard.
After saying this, Lin Xiang's body dissipated into the air, and his real body returned to the land temple in Dongshan Village.
"Why are you suddenly so stingy again?"
“Not a single mission was issued.”
"Hey, never mind, let's take a look at this weapon first."
Yu Xiaoqi held the thunder hammer in his hand, and his whole body felt stronger. He was no longer afraid of the monsters outside, and he couldn't wait to find an inconspicuous evil spirit to try it out.
[Thunder Hammer: Low-grade magical weapon, Attack 10-30, Strength +5, made entirely of black iron, draws lightning to attack enemies, and deals 50% more damage to evil spirits.]
"Wow, what a powerful attribute!"
"It's much higher than the 0-8 attack of my crappy longsword."
"Damage to evil spirits has increased."
"This has to be the most powerful weapon in the entire server, right? This is the first time I've seen a magical weapon. It would be amazing if it was a mid-grade or high-grade magical weapon!"
"Sister Xiaoqi, come and try out its power."
Yu Xiaoqi was delighted, but complained slightly, "The hammer isn't very convenient to use. It would be nice if it could be turned into a sword. My skill list has sword skills, not hammer skills."
She had no idea how to use this extremely heavy hammer, and weaker players might not be able to lift it.
Even if you can pick it up, you will be exhausted after one or two rounds.
Such a major event will of course be discussed by players on the forum. After all, it is the first magic weapon in the game!
Despite its peculiar shape, and despite the fact that it looks out of place when Yu Xiaoqi holds it in his hand, these cannot conceal its essence.
There are a lot of night owls on the forum, especially the beta testers, who are almost all online.
They soon learned the properties and origin of the Thunder Hammer.
"Honestly, this weapon is definitely an early-stage artifact!"
"It would be great if it could be passed on to others. Why can it only be used by the patrol captain?"
"Can this captain be replaced? Everyone should experience the feeling of owning a magical weapon."
"I finally understand. The sacrificial spirit has a lot of good things in his hands, but he just hasn't taken them out."
"Can you still ask for equipment and quests this way? I've learned something!"
"I can't bear it anymore. I'm going to Xishan Village to check out this magical weapon. Are there any brothers coming with me?"
"Boss, Boss, please tell me about your experience using weapons."
"If it's not bound, I'm afraid I can just pick up the car directly."
"Pick up a car? Go straight to looking at houses. This gaming helmet is too troublesome. Many truly wealthy people can't even get in."
…
After returning to his temple from Xishan Village, Lin Xiang took out the black slag from the alchemy furnace and poured it into the corner.
When the earthworms finish turning over the ground and come back, you can eat these medicinal residues and waste pills. It seems like there is a black hole in its body, and it can digest anything. It is simply the best garbage disposal.
"I just forgot to open the treasure bag that was upgraded to level 12. I think it should contain some good stuff."
Lin Xiang felt that he was favored by heaven after protecting the people. This was what was called luck.
With a subtle blessing, whatever you do is as if assisted by God.
After the brocade bag was opened, a crystal clear jade was revealed inside, just like a natural seed.
Lin Xiang, who had always been calm, stood up from the ground after seeing the introduction of this seed, and was so surprised that he couldn't speak!
“It’s actually a magical power seed!”
[The Universe in the Sleeve (Incomplete): A magical power created by the ancient god Zhen Yuanzi. He created the universe in his sleeves and could collect anything!]
Supernatural powers are different from spells. Supernatural powers are either innate or require supernatural power seeds to be passed down!
The cultivators all use magic spells, which can be learned through jade slips or even oral instruction and initiation.
Usually, only innate gods and demon beasts and spirit beasts whose bloodlines have returned to their ancestral state have supernatural powers, and most of these supernatural powers are in a broken state and difficult to restore to their peak condition.
Lin Xiang never thought that he could produce such a magical seed just by opening the treasure bag that was upgraded to level 12!
You must know that even the immortals who ascended to heaven have no magical powers to use.
If this thing were to be exposed, it would definitely cause jealousy.
Rather than leave it to someone else, Lin Xiang placed the seed between his eyebrows without a second thought. It was clearly his first time seeing it, but he somehow knew how to use it.
The jade seed immediately melted into the ancestral blood between his eyebrows, and then took root in his soul.
The name of this magical power appeared directly on Lin Xiang’s panel.
Using magical powers does not require any spiritual energy, but is linked to the user's overall strength.
The weaker the strength, the longer the cooling time.
The stronger the strength, the shorter the cooling time, and it can even be instant.
Supernatural powers are so unreasonable that it is hard to guard against them!
Lin Xiang was overjoyed. He could feel a cube-shaped space about five meters long and wide appearing inside the sleeve of his scholar's robe.
It can be used as a storage space and to imprison enemies.
The magical power of "The Universe in the Sleeve" comes from the ancient god Zhen Yuanzi. This innate god who can discuss Taoism with the Three Pure Ones is also the ancestor of earthly immortals.
The gods in heaven are called celestial gods, while the land gods, mountain gods, water gods, and city gods in the human world are collectively called earthly gods.
This skill is of great significance to Lin Xiang.
"It seems that one really needs to do more good deeds to gain the favor of Heaven."
Lin Xiang could already feel the favor he had received from Heaven fading away. "Perhaps I should keep the upgrade kit for the next time and open it when I have Heaven's favor."
If you open it normally, there may be some ordinary or useless items in the upgrade kit.
With the favor of heaven, you will have an invincible lucky buff, which will allow you to get good things!
Regardless of whether it was out of his own conscience or for the benefits he could gain, Lin Xiang planned to stick to his own path, protect this piece of land well, and strive to transform it into a paradise amidst the war.
He wanted to familiarize himself with this magical power, so he simply put the Xuanling ginseng planted in the backyard into his robe sleeves. The entire piece of soil was neatly put in without any spells or spiritual fluctuations.
Even though there was so much mud in the space of his sleeves, he still didn't feel anything special and could move freely.
The only problem is that the space in the sleeve is actually the inside of the robe sleeve. If the quality of the robe sleeve is not good, the opponent has a certain chance of breaking through the space and escaping.
Lin Xiang must find a suitable outfit for himself!
The sword cultivator had a set of low-grade magical weapon-level disciple uniform, which was given to him by the Qingwei Sword Sect due to its wealth.
At this time, Han Mu rushed back all the way through the night. Fortunately, he was strong and the deterrence of the official road was still there, so he did not encounter any problems in the process.
After rushing back to Dongshan Village, this reliable player went straight to the land temple to report the situation.
Lin Xiang then lifted the restrictions on the Earth God Temple hall for him, allowing him to come in again after many days.
"Young Master Han, what's the situation in Qifeng Town? What do the government officials say?"
Han Mu replied respectfully, "Master Jiling, Qifeng Town was also attacked, but the Qifeng Town Jiling Master Jinchan was very powerful and killed the intruders. However, more than 20 villages under Qifeng Town were attacked, and the government was temporarily unable to spare any forces, so they left us to deal with the troublemakers on our own. They already know that they are cultivators from the neighboring Great Zhou, and the Dagan court and Yueying Palace have sent reinforcements..."
The six-winged golden cicada, the sacrificial spirit of Qifeng Town, is a tough guy. It is obviously a level 24 primitive insect in the foundation-building stage, but it just happens to live here.
The Da Zhou monks who were unaware of the situation just went there to deliver food.
After hearing these words, Lin Xiang realized the seriousness of the matter.
The cultivators from the Great Zhou Dynasty were indeed so cruel that they actually destroyed all the nearby villages!
Because of the evil spirits, all the rural areas were clustered into villages, connected by official roads, which gave invaders an opportunity. They didn't even need to deliberately look for targets, they could just follow the official roads.
"Next, there should be a war between the Dagan cultivation world and the Da Zhou cultivation world." Lin Xiang thought to himself. It is a consensus that the war between cultivators should not affect the common people.
If the Heavenly Court still existed, the actions of the Great Zhou would surely face punishment from the heavenly soldiers and generals!
Even if the actual perpetrators were not the Great Zhou court or the two super sects, Heaven would definitely still notice it. Do they have a way to avoid Heaven's karma?
"Thank you for your hard work, Young Master Han. Go down and have a good rest. We will have to ask you to do a good job in building and protecting Dongshan Village in the future."
Lin Xiang spoke, and at the same time selected the task completion button, giving Han Mu 300 experience points and a White Tiger Demon Subduing Sword Skill Book.
The White Tiger Demon-Subduing Sword and the Nine Pure Yang Swords are skills that can be used by the Land God identity. The sword cultivator identities all use the unique sword techniques of the Qingwei Sword Sect, which can be easily distinguished.
Han Mu was also very happy to receive the unexpected swordsmanship reward. However, he asked, "Master Ji Ling, I accidentally obtained two pieces of deep sea black iron. Could you help me forge them into long swords?"
Although he envied the thunder hammer, he still felt that the long sword was more suitable for him, especially one specially made for him.
"You are still weak now, so improve your own strength first."
Lin Xiang found an excuse to get rid of him. He didn't know how to forge at the moment and was a complete novice.
Han Mu had no idea that Lin Xiang was making an excuse. He thought it was because his level was too low, so he prepared to start leveling up.
He didn't forget that the first player to reach level 10 will receive a series of rewards!
After Lin Xiang sent General Han Mu away, he used the power of the land god to sense what the players in the nearby area and the three monsters he had subdued were doing.
Some players are practicing in the market town, some are practicing the Little Rain Cloud Technique outside to cultivate spiritual fields, and some are fighting demons and monsters in the dark.
Among them, the mud monster became a porter, transporting the silt from the bottom of Longxi River to the brick kiln, and then helping to shape it into neat and uniform bricks.
The clam monster teamed up with Bingxuepiaopiao and the earthworm. The earthworm turned the soil in front, and it performed the Small Cloud and Rain Technique behind.
This monster from the Dragon Palace of Longxi River has never done anything harmful to the world. Its cultivation consists of swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon. Now it has the aura of a fairy. Anyone who sees it will say that it is a spiritual beast.
The Linggu seedlings are growing vigorously, the transplanted silver arrow grass has adapted to the environment here, and the sown silver arrow grass seeds are also full of vitality and are about to break through the soil.
The steady and healthy development of the entire area is enough to free up Lin Xiang's hands to do his own things.
It just so happened that today, because Feng Jianan killed the sacrificial spirit, he obtained more than 500 incense points, and Lin Xiang was teleported back to the sword cultivator's body.
In the Qingwei Sword Sect, in a small courtyard at the foot of Taixuan Peak, a small clay figurine suddenly turned into flesh and blood.
Lin Xiang changed all his clothes and swallowed a Red Dragon Pill, leaving traces of practicing Taixuan Sword Sutra in the training room.
In this kind of sect, you always have to be cautious.
After finishing these things, he opened the restriction of the courtyard and headed towards the market in the sect.
He had to trade away the things he didn't need first, then buy some inferior weapons and magic tools to enrich his equipment arsenal, and then prepare for the next tower climbing experience.
But just as Lin Xiang entered the sect's market, he was shocked by the content of the conversation among several fellow disciples around him.
"Junior Brother Zhou, you bought so many pills and talismans, are you planning to go down the mountain and travel?"
"No, no, no, I'm planning to take on a sabotage mission from the sect. I'm going to go meet up with the disciples from Moon Shadow Palace and try to earn enough contribution points to exchange for goodies in the Treasure Pavilion or the Sutra Pavilion."
"I wish you a safe journey, and don't let those people in Moon Shadow Palace laugh at you."
"Don't worry, I won't bring shame to the sect."
Lin Xiang then realized that it was possible that the Qingwei Sword Sect was also involved in the division of the Great Zhou?
The author has something to say:
