After a day of work and life, the players go online again.
Cheng Yi went out to look for spirit stones, while Sun Lu stayed indoors as if he was fiddling with something.
Lu Qing personally stood beside Yu Cuifeng.
The first thing he had to deal with was the players surrounding him and trying to trigger adventures. These players were also very simple to deal with: just ignore them and they were done.
But there is always that kind of perseverance.
For example, Ye Ao.
Lu Qing didn't have Cheng Yi's cultivation level to allow him to experience the bungee jumping, and he wasn't willing to waste two times of divine movement just to give the players a warning.
So he simply floated into the air and went to a place where players couldn't get up, so that he could have some peace and quiet.
After failing to contact Lu Qing, the players shifted their focus to Tianyuan Pavilion.
Without the activation of spirit stones, Tianyuan Pavilion has not yet been opened, but the players have also understood its operating mechanism.
"Isn't the paid point here? When the public beta is launched, Tianyuan Pavilion will directly enter the personal interface, and all kinds of 648 will rush in, with ten consecutive hits, guaranteed elixirs, and the best top-level immortal swords and magic weapons. Won't the revenue increase?"
"To be honest, with a game of this quality and even with this ridiculous prize pool, not many people would refuse it, right?"
“I just don’t know when the first phase will be open…”
Since Cheng Yi is not here, he cannot practice in the mountains.
However, Lu Qing's understanding of Cangxia Gong was very superficial, so he naturally would not mislead the young people.
The players had some free time and started exploring the newly opened Qingshan Village.
But some smart players immediately invested their contributions in exchanging food.
After all, the Cangxia Sect itself does not produce food, and as the players' cultivation level increases, their appetite and consumption also increase. The food looted from the bandits will probably not last long.
Qingshan Village has very little arable land, and most of the food is either looted or bought from Bei'an City.
Some players also set their sights on Bei'an City.
Go to Qingshan Village through the teleportation point, then head east and explore Beian City.
The attitudes of the villagers of Qingshan Village towards the players, a group of people in green, are all different. What kind of relationship they can establish with the villagers and what kind of events they can trigger all depend on their own efforts.
Super Xiaoduan formed a team with Qin Feng, Zheng He, Xia Yiran and He Nian, and immediately entered the 5-person dungeon of Qingshan Village to open up the new land.
After the plot was over, they were all killed by Li Weiyu in less than five minutes.
Death in the dungeon does not count as a real death, you will just be returned to the resurrection point.
After all, under the control of the system, Li Weiyu's strength has made a qualitative leap.
Furthermore, these five players had little coordination to begin with. He Nian's natural skill, vine control, could only hold out for three seconds without the suppressive firepower of the swarm of players. Xia Yiran's rhythm skill, while powerful, was instantly stolen, and she was killed by Li Weiyu's axe. Zheng He didn't have a ready-made RPG.
"Don't waste your time on dungeons. It's impossible to beat them without reaching a higher realm."
"That's right, let's go and open up Bei'an City. I heard someone has already obtained the map in Qingshan Village."
"Qingshan Village must have secrets worth exploring! Each NPC's dialogue is so detailed, they can't all be AI, right?"
"Take your time exploring. I'm going to get the money."
The currencies used in Qingshan Village include gold, silver, copper coins, and even barter.
It is extremely difficult for players to make money through trade without storage means.
The teleportation array can only be used for teleporting players themselves, and bulk goods cannot be teleported.
However, some players also noticed the camp below Yu Cuifeng. There were warehouses and carriages there, which were obviously used by players for trade and transportation.
However, renting these things requires a certain contribution.
No one is willing to rent until they figure out how to make money.
What's more, among the players, there are basically no players who know how to drive a carriage.
More players are using the contributions and experience points they just earned to upgrade their martial arts skills.
Before officially becoming immortal cultivators, these martial arts skills are the basis of their survival.
In less than half a day, Cheng Yi returned to the mountain.
The bag in his hand contained a dozen or so faintly glowing stones.
It's a spirit stone.
Cheng Yi handed the bag to Lu Qing and said, "Sect Master, I went to the spiritual stone vein that I remembered. It's all barren hills now, but I dug a few meters down and still found some spiritual stones. I think there are still a lot in the ground. Do you want to dig more?"
"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Qing said, "Not for now, let's continue teaching tomorrow."
"Oh, by the way, Sect Master, I saw a few monsters coming from the west on the way. They looked like they were here to spy on our sect. I saw they hadn't committed any murderous crimes, so I frightened them for a bit and then let them go to report."
monster?
Are they the group of monsters we discovered a few days ago?
"Okay." Lu Qing nodded to indicate that he understood, but did not offer any constructive suggestions.
After all, he still didn't know much about monsters.
"I casually asked, and they learned that this group of dog demons were lost during the last demonic invasion of Chaoyun Province. Fearing death, they found this place to hide and live in seclusion. They can speak human language, farm, hunt, and support themselves."
Cheng Yi is obviously not the kind of stubborn person who is irreconcilable with demons.
Although dog demons are demons, they are as intelligent and civilized as humans and can practice cultivation.
If converted into the game, it can be regarded as a neutral force with which communication is possible.
"Their settlement is located on the western edge of the Ningqing Mountains. At this stage, they can't affect our sect. I believe that there is a possibility of recruiting this demon tribe."
Cheng Yi was a little worried that Lu Qing was a pure humanist, so he made a tentative suggestion.
"Can."
Lu Qing's attitude made Cheng Yi feel relieved.
After all, in his era, although all the disciples in the Cangxia Sect were human, there were also alien races among the outside members, and they were on good terms with many alien forces.
In that era, their common enemies were weird and monsters that had no reason and could not communicate.
Even now, the threat of weirdness and monsters still exists.
Cheng Yi speculated that the last time demons invaded Chaoyun Province, it was because their northern habitat was compressed by strange monsters, which led them to move south to compete with humans for territory.
"Master, has an evil creature appeared in that bandit's lair?"
Before leaving, Cheng Yi asked one more question.
When he was on the mountain, he did sense a surge of evil energy rising into the sky, but this evil energy quickly disappeared.
"A bloodstone puppet has been cleaned up." Lu Qing recounted the events according to his assistant's notes. "The village's military advisor was a hidden evil cultivator. Before his death, he activated the puppet."
Cheng Yi sighed, "If it really is a bloodstone puppet, then this evil cultivator must have been preparing for over a decade. I bet the bandit leader will never know until his death that he has been transformed by his trusted followers."
Lu Qing also sighed.
The world is unpredictable.
