The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 18: New NPCs Available

Zhou Yi looked at the jade talisman in his hand, which was the token connecting him and Su Yun.

The jade talisman is now burning up, which means Su Yun must be looking for him. And the fact that it's burning so intensely suggests that the other party has already arrived near the Qingxuan Sect.

as predicted.

As Zhou Yi stepped into the mountain gate, Su Yun and his daughter appeared before him.

"Young friend Zhou Yi, I have urgent business to attend to right now and it's not convenient for me to go into too much detail. I'll be entrusting Qian Yue to you for the time being."

Su Yun's words were surprising, causing Zhou Yi to pause slightly.

However, this was within his expectations. Su Yun was engaged in shady business, selling the wealth of dead cultivators, which was inherently extremely risky.

Presumably, supporting herself over the past year was also a way to find a way out for her daughter.

"Don't worry, Senior Su, I will take good care of Miss Qianyue," Zhou Yi replied solemnly.

Although the relationship is essentially an exchange of benefits, it is undeniable that the other party has indeed done him a favor, and he is willing to lend a helping hand if conditions permit.

Upon hearing this, Su Yun's expression turned somewhat serious:

"Young friend Zhou Yi, once I leave, I may never be able to return. I hope that Qian Yue can join the Qingxuan Sect, so that she can find a place to stay for a long time."

"Of course, please rest assured, young friend. I have already made my escape. As long as Qian Yue remains at the sect, the other party will definitely not be able to find you."

After Su Yun finished speaking, he handed a storage bag to Zhou Yi:

"This contains some of my savings over the years, including some magical artifacts, elixirs, and talismans. Consider it a gift for Qian Yue's apprenticeship."

Zhou Yi took the storage bag, his expression becoming somewhat complicated.

If it were just a temporary stay, it would be fine, but the current situation is clearly not like that.

The thought of players encountering the native inhabitants gave Zhou Yi a headache.

But just then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "That's it! I can just add a small patch and a new NPC, right?"

This doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi smiled and immediately agreed to the matter.

Before he could even catch his breath, Su Yun spoke again, his tone growing increasingly somber.

"There is one more thing. Young friend Zhou Yi, think carefully, have you offended anyone recently? In Liuye Town, someone is already secretly investigating your background, and I'm afraid their intentions are not good."

He paused, then said:

"However, before you leave, I've arranged some covert measures, which should buy you about a month. As for how to deal with it, that's up to you."

Zhou Yi was somewhat stunned.

In recent months, I have been careful in my actions and have never made enemies with anyone.

His public identity is that of an ordinary rogue cultivator, so why would someone be secretly investigating his background?

……

On the forum of Blue Star, a cultivation online game.

Cangfengmingyue: "Thank you, Stars! From now on, I no longer have to live in fear and anxiety while farming."

When a constellation of stars shines: "Haha, we're all brothers, no need to thank me."

Hidden Dragon in the Abyss: "But then again, Stars, how did you come up with this method back then?"

When humankind shines like a constellation: "Only when people have experienced dire straits can they understand that the last stroke of life is also the first stroke of death."

"It was only after I grasped the principles of life and death that I was able to break free from conventional thinking and come up with the idea of ​​flooding the monkeys."

He instantly activated his immortal mode: "Oh ho, I never expected that you, a complete idiot, would have grasped the meaning of life and death."

As soon as the Immortal of Instant Opening said this, the forum was immediately filled with a joyful atmosphere.

A fan of cilantro: "There's something off about what I'm saying."

I'm Not a Sword Immortal: "Haha, girl, you should trust your intuition."

……

Inside a Taoist temple on Blue Star.

Lin Xiao shut down the forum and logged out of his "I'm Not a Sword Immortal" account.

He stepped out of the Taoist temple, looked up at the sky, and wondered, "Do immortals really exist in this world?"

These past few days, images of him unleashing his sword energy and hunting demonic beasts have flashed before his eyes.

The feeling was so real that it made him feel like he had actually traveled through time while playing the game.

"You brat, you're always playing video games. You don't even know how to offer incense to your grandmaster, and you're just here daydreaming about all sorts of things?"

"Immortal, my foot! You know nothing! I've cultivated the Tao for so many years, if there were immortals, I would have become one long ago."

A Taoist priest rode a donkey slowly down the mountain, muttering incantations.

Lin Xiao glanced at the old Taoist priest and said irritably, "Tch, seeing is believing. If you don't believe me, go play this game yourself. I'll send you the website address right now."

The old Taoist priest snorted coldly, dismounted from the donkey, and walked into the Taoist temple on his own.

"Let's try it then. I haven't been playing games for nothing all these years. I want to see if this thing is as amazing as you make it out to be."

Half a day later, Zhou Yi opened the forum and sent a message using a customer service account named "Yi Tian".

Yi Tian: "I'm very sorry. Yesterday, some bugs in the game caused players to be forcibly logged out. We have now patched the issue and made some adjustments to the content."

Subsequently, an announcement appeared at the top of the forum.

Hidden Dragon in the Abyss: "Great Sword, do you think that annotation was added specifically for you?"

Big Sword: "I've already behaved, please let me go."

Instantly activating "Immortal Mode": "NPC! A new NPC has appeared!"

When the stars of humanity shine: "I dare say, if this NPC's intelligence were comparable to that of the Sect Master, this game would definitely be a masterpiece."

A few casual words: "By the way, I'm a farming player, isn't this wilderness exploration event tailor-made for us?"

Crouching Tiger Hidden in the Forest: "It doesn't seem like it. The derivative meaning of 'exploration' in the game is quite broad."

A few taels of silver: "Then I'll go see what this event is all about?"

Li Fan clicked on the update announcement and began searching for detailed information about the pioneering operation.

[Reclamation Operation]

[Event Duration: One Week]

This game is so generous!

With experience, he might be able to reach the second level of Qi Refining in just a few days.

Li Fan felt a surge of joy, as if the gloom of being fired by his boss had lessened considerably.

That's right, after three years of hard work as a corporate slave, Li Fan finally appeared on the company's layoff list.

However, having received the compensation, he won't starve to death anytime soon.

"By the way, I've got nothing to do right now, why don't I try being a game tester? I can get some extra perks."

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that as the first virtual reality game, Cultivation Online is bound to become a hit once it's released.

The earlier you invest, the greater your future returns will be.

Thinking of this, Li Fan immediately clicked on the link.
