Chapter 86 First Exploration of the Secret Realm, Desiring to Reclaim Wasteland
The players quickly learned that the Flying Dragon in the Sky team had been wiped out.
It's currently noon, the time when players are most active.
However, many players also chose to log off temporarily and go to the forums to ask what exactly happened.
Loves Cilantro: "Flying Dragon in the Sky, your team was doing pretty well hunting monsters before, how come you were wiped out so quickly?"
Flying Dragon in the Sky: "Sigh, it's a long story. I was killed like a chicken by the Boss."
Liu Yue Qingcheng: "What? There's a BOSS? Tell me about it!"
Feilong Zaitian let out a bitter laugh and posted the series of events that his team had encountered on the forum.
After hearing the whole story, the young players couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
From the initial counterattack against the black bear, to the discovery of the Spirit Lake, and finally being instantly killed by the white snake, the whole process can be described as full of twists and turns.
Unfortunately, the final result was not good.
However, the matter of Linghu Lake has also aroused the curiosity of many players.
A few casual remarks: "For many open-world games, fishing is an essential element, and maybe they'll even be planning to add a fishing system in the upcoming release."
Cangfeng Mingyue: "Stop with the idle talk, I really love fishing."
Yi Tian: "The Spirit Lake area is the next hidden map. After you complete the map, the game will unlock more new features, so stay tuned!"
"Friendly reminder: The monsters in the Spirit Lake area are very powerful. Do not attempt to enter without reaching the late stage of Qi Refining."
Running Knife Rat: "Holy crap!! It's Yi Tian showing up!"
Loves cilantro: "Wow, then I need to develop well and try to conquer Linghu as soon as possible."
Within the Qingxuan Sect.
Zhou Yi left the forum, and with a flash, he disappeared towards the back mountain.
Players have already explored the Cloud Mountain Secret Realm, but he doesn't know much about it yet.
If he himself couldn't even figure out the specific functions and rules of the secret realm, how could he possibly allow players to freely enter and explore it?
As a responsible sect leader, Zhou Yi still planned to go there in person to see what secrets this Cloud Mountain Secret Realm held.
Zhou Yi moved quickly and unknowingly arrived at the top of the cliff behind the mountain.
The cliff top is ten feet high, standing atop the clouds, where one can reach out and touch the veil of mist.
Zhou Yi found the location he remembered and slowly climbed down the mountainside.
You only have one life.
Although players can enter the secret realm by jumping off a cliff, who knows what might happen if something goes wrong and they accidentally fall to their death?
Zhou Yi climbed for nearly half an hour, but the ground beneath his feet remained bottomless.
However, this gave him a relaxed expression.
The players hadn't been falling for very long, and judging by his speed, they should have arrived by now.
But when Zhou Yi looked down, he still saw a bottomless abyss, which only confirmed the authenticity of the secret realm.
Just as he expected.
As Zhou Yi stepped down.
In an instant!
He instantly appeared inside a blue cave.
At first glance, there is only one intersection in the surrounding area, with the four large characters "Yunshan Secret Realm" hanging above it.
"The Secret Realm of Cloud Mountain, this should be it."
Zhou Yi muttered to himself.
Following the players' previous descriptions, he walked along the path and finally entered the main hall, arriving at the teleportation array.
Looking at the three options of the teleportation array, Zhou Yi neither chose to leave immediately nor to enter the trial grounds.
He certainly wouldn't leave empty-handed; he'd definitely be exploring the area.
However, just to be on the safe side, he still wanted the players to explore these potentially dangerous places first.
Of the three areas, the only one that is safe and potentially offers high rewards is the so-called Hall of Inheritance.
With a thought, Zhou Yi used the teleportation array to bring himself into the Inheritance Hall.
A flash of white light enveloped his entire body.
The next moment, the world before Zhou Yi's eyes suddenly changed.
The once magnificent and resplendent hall has vanished.
In its place stands a wooden building that looks simple and solemn, yet grand and imposing.
Zhou Yi looked at the wooden building and was momentarily dazed.
But after realizing what was happening, he immediately decided to go upstairs to check the situation.
But just as Zhou Yi took a step, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared in front of him, completely blocking him out.
Zhou Yi looked puzzled, his eyes filled with confusion.
Just then, a line of words slowly appeared in front of the barrier.
"Those who accept the inheritance must have at least 100 energy points; those who do not meet this standard are prohibited from entering."
Zhou Yi smiled upon seeing this line of text.
next moment,
Ten flying swords shot out from behind him, instantly soaring into the sky and transforming into streaks of light that pierced the barrier in front of him.
boom!
With a loud bang, the ripples inside the barrier suddenly vibrated.
"A defensive array that hasn't been maintained for a hundred years, I don't believe I can't break it with a sword."
Zhou Yi sneered and began to form a sword incantation in his hand once more.
Ten flying swords shot towards the horizon, forming a line in mid-air, transforming into a blue dragon, and slashed at the barrier once more.
This time, because we focused on just one point, the effect was outstanding.
The barrier not only showed signs of vibration, but also revealed some tiny cracks.
Zhou Yi continued to strike dozens of times, finally tearing a gap in the barrier.
The gap was very small, only allowing one person to pass through, and it was constantly healing.
"This magic array is a bit strange. Going in now could easily lead to trouble. Let's go back and check it out first."
Seeing the defensive array continuously healing, Zhou Yi became suspicious and dared not take any risks, so he had no choice but to withdraw from the area.
It was evening on the mountain.
A cold wind howled, and the chill was biting.
As Zhou Yi stepped into the dense forest, preparing to return to his sect, a giant black tiger suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
The tiger roared and looked at Zhou Yi with intense hostility in its eyes.
This tiger is called the Black-striped Tiger. Zhou Yi also knows a bit about it, and it seems to be the key to the player completing the alchemy inheritance in a few casual conversations.
It helped him drive away the wolves and draw their hatred and fire.
"I'll spare your life this time, considering you helped the players before."
Zhou Yi's expression remained unchanged as he spoke calmly.
The black-striped tiger seemed to be enraged by Zhou Yi's words and the disdain hidden in his eyes.
With a swift claw strike, it lunged directly at Zhou Yi.
The Book of Changes (Zhou Yi) did not say much about this.
With a slight flick of his sleeve, his Azure Profound True Qi surged, sending the black-striped tiger, a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator, flying away.
This is the benefit of cultivating true qi; not only is it more effective than spiritual power, but its power is also stronger than ordinary spiritual power.
Zhou Yi is already in such a state at the Qi Refining stage, so he doesn't even dare to imagine how much benefit the Azure Profound True Qi would bring if he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Seeing that Zhou Yi was no match for him, the black-striped tiger quickly fled backward, no longer bothering to fight for victory.
Zhou Yi showed no intention of pursuing, and simply continued walking back on his own.
Now that the food problem has been solved, this much spirit rice is enough to feed 100 players for a full three months.
However, it would be absurd for a major sect to rely on external supplies for its food.
"We still need to be self-sufficient in spirit rice and supply it exclusively. It just so happens that winter is approaching, and Cangfeng Mingyue should be able to handle the cultivation and daily maintenance of the nine acres of spirit fields by herself."
"Furthermore, the demonic beasts near the sect have been mostly cleared out. It's time to gather some players to cultivate the wasteland and nurture the spirit fields."
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi quickened his pace and stepped into the spirit field.
The next morning.
As players from Lingtian logged on one after another, Zhou Yi quickly issued new tasks.
[Task: Reclaim Wasteland]
[Task Description: Find barren land with abundant spiritual energy around the sect and cultivate it. Each player is required to cultivate at least 10 acres of spiritual land.]
[Task Time: Unlimited]
[Task Reward: One acre of spirit field, 5 contribution points]
The Lianyun Mountains region is located in the southern region, and even in winter, it does not often snow at the foot of the mountains, so there are naturally not many obstacles to cultivating the land.
On the contrary, winter is the off-season for farming, which can provide more manpower to support land reclamation.
Soon, the fifteen young players from Lingtian picked up their hoes and set off in a grand procession towards the outside of the sect.
Of course, Zhou Yi was still not entirely at ease relying solely on them.
If a group of ordinary cultivators at the first level of Qi Refining were suddenly attacked by a demonic beast, they would be doomed.
So Zhou Yi, on a whim, summoned Liu Yue Qing Chen's team and issued a special escort mission to protect the fifteen young players who were exploring the new area.
