130: The reward for helping the protagonist: Golden Elixir inheritance

Purple Qi Guild leader Crimson Purple's heart pounded faster and faster, to the point where she was stuttering, her emotions fluctuating uncontrollably.

Golden Core Legacy!

This was something all players dreamed of, and even wealthy professional players or tycoons found it difficult to obtain a Golden Core Legacy at this stage.

"Fellow Daoist... Grand Elder, is it really a Golden Core Legacy?"

Another player, unable to hold back, blurted out the question, his face flushed with excitement like a ripe apple, unable to hide his feelings.

Yan Xiao laughed heartily: "Of course it's a Golden Core Legacy, with a complete fifth-grade Golden Core Method, enough for one to cultivate smoothly to the Golden Core Realm. Additionally, there are Supporting facilities Artifact Refining methods, enough to become the thousand-year pillar of my Purple Qi Sect."

Crimson Purple's breathing grew more rapid; not only was there a fifth-grade Golden Core Method, but also Artifact Refining techniques!

With this, the establishment of the Purple Qi Sect was not an empty promise, but something truly achievable.

She exchanged glances with a few trusted players, their eyes filled with excitement, and they all secretly thought to themselves:

They bet correctly!

Before this, both the Purple Qi Guild and all players in the Xuanhuan World had varying attitudes towards native NPCs.

Some believed that when facing an NPC, one should simply kill them and seize their treasures. Even if a storage ring had a Restriction, it would just take a bit more time and resources to wear it down. It was convenient, quick, and the most efficient way to plunder resources.

However, others believed that while NPCs were renewable resources overall, individually, they were non-renewable.

They argued that instead of simply and brutally killing NPCs for treasure, one should try to trigger their quest lines to obtain Cultivation Techniques, skills, and other Legacies that were difficult to acquire through direct killing. Sometimes, one might even gain the favor and trust of a certain faction.

This "questing" approach, though slower, had a higher Upper limit, and players like Crimson Purple, who didn't focus on high-intensity grinding, particularly favored it.

But at the same time, everyone knew that some "quest rewards" were trash. It was common to help an NPC with a big favor only to be dismissed with a few Spirit Stones. While killing them for treasure afterward was still an option, it would ultimately waste time.

Even worse, some who could originally defeat an NPC would be surpassed in cultivation after helping them, resulting in being killed and having their treasures taken instead... Therefore, Crimson Purple bringing people to rescue Yan Xiao actually carried risks. They could lose everything, and in the worst case, their entire Guild could be annihilated by Yan Xiao and robbed.

But fortunately, she bet correctly.

Roar!

Just then, a series of Yao Beast roars came from afar, and faint sounds of something constantly colliding and exploding could be heard, even shaking the ground.

Crimson Purple's expression instantly changed. They were currently in a dangerous mountain range, surrounded by Yao Beasts and Demonic Beasts, and could be drawn into battle at any moment, making it very perilous.

Yan Xiao didn't dally. He paused for a moment, pointed in a direction, and then led everyone forward.

Before long, Crimson Purple and the others arrived at a mountain peak with relatively abundant Spiritual Qi. After crossing a sturdy vine-covered area, they finally found a cave large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

Inside the cave were stone platforms and stone stools, with faint traces of Formations visible, though time had eroded them beyond their original appearance.

"This place should be an Immortal Cave of a predecessor, Fellow Daoist Crimson Purple. We can rest here."

Yan Xiao settled everyone, waved his hand, and a light immediately appeared in his hand, spinning as it landed beside Crimson Purple.

Crimson Purple looked at the light, just about to reach out and touch it, when she heard Yan Xiao say: "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Crimson Purple has any jade in her possession?"

Crimson Purple quickly fumbled through her storage ring: "Yes, I do, I do."

In the Xuanhuan World, jade held an extremely high status, possessing various miraculous effects. Cultivators also frequently used jade to create Jade Slips for transmitting Cultivation Techniques.

Yan Xiao waved his hand, and the light surged into the jade. After a warm white glow, it transformed into twenty Jade Slips for transmitting Cultivation Techniques.

"These Jade Slips contain the Legacy of the fifth-grade Cultivation Technique, the Purple Qi Spirit Accumulation Beast Art, which naturally includes the corresponding complete Immortal Foundation Method. Additionally, there are three Daoist Magic spells from this Legacy, corresponding to offense, defense, and self-protection, all at the fifth-grade level. They are quite difficult to cultivate."

Yan Xiao and his teacher naturally couldn't impart their Dou Qi methods, nor could they teach the orthodox Legacy of the Void Gazer path.

But how many Legacies had a Sect-inheriting Nascent Soul expert encountered? Nascent Soul methods might be few, but Golden Core Methods were truly countless. Any one set he pulled out would make Crimson Purple and the others ecstatic.

Yan Xiao watched Crimson Purple, who was so excited clutching the Jade Slips that she wished she could start cultivating immediately, and smiled inwardly. He was once a waste of the Yan Family; let alone Golden Core Methods, he would have danced with joy just to get a set of Immortal Foundation Methods. But now... "Furthermore."

Yan Xiao spoke again, bringing Crimson Purple and the others back to their senses: "To achieve an Immortal Foundation with this Purple Qi Spirit Accumulation Beast Art, many types of Immortal Qi can be used. One of them is Lionheart Purple Qi, which requires a Unicorn Purple Lion to resonate with a spirit accumulating purple crystal source, and then a secret method is applied to extract it. After extraction, the purple lion's horn darkens, and it cannot be harvested again for ten years."

"Previously, I coincidentally obtained a Unicorn Purple Lion and also dug up a spirit accumulating purple crystal source. Although that lion has already perished, it ultimately left behind a portion of Immortal Qi."

At these words, everyone present grew excited, Crimson Purple included.

It wasn't difficult to switch Cultivation Techniques during the Qi Refining stage. They now only needed to disperse their current cultivation and switch to the Purple Qi Spirit Accumulation Beast Art, then consume Lifespan to cultivate quickly, and finally use this Immortal Qi to achieve an Immortal Foundation!

And it was an Immortal Foundation under a fifth-grade Cultivation Technique!

For a moment, everyone looked at Yan Xiao, and Crimson Purple couldn't help but say: "Grand Elder, I wonder about this Immortal Qi..."

Yan Xiao looked at her embarrassed yet clearly excited expression, smiled, and said: "You have helped me greatly, and my Purple Qi Sect will also need to establish itself in the future. This Immortal Qi will naturally be given to Fellow Daoist Crimson Purple. Once you refine it and Breakthrough to an Immortal Foundation, we can leave this place, find a Spirit Peak, recruit some talented individuals, and officially establish my Purple Qi Sect."

Crimson Purple and the others were immediately thrilled. Currently, neither the largest player organization, the Great Love Alliance, nor the five major professional clubs had truly established a Sect, yet their small Guild was about to take the lead.

Helping Yan Xiao truly was the right choice!

Crimson Purple felt a surge of emotion, and without hesitation, she quickly thanked Yan Xiao, accepted the jade bottle containing the Immortal Qi, and then distributed the Jade Slips for transmitting Cultivation Techniques to her trusted people. As for those outside the twenty, they received copied versions, which would make their cultivation slightly slower.

After the miscellaneous matters were handled, they made good use of the Immortal Cave, building walls to create rooms, stacking Spirit Stones, lighting incense, and taking Medicinal Pills, then sat cross-legged to cultivate.

Yan Xiao, meanwhile, protected them.

"Teacher, their cultivation speed is indeed very unusual..."
