366: First Players Meeting

"Hey, hey, that's Profound Yellow Qi! Aren't we going to collect it?"

"Collect what? Do you have a way to do it?"

"Can't we just collect it with a storage ring?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"If it's properly Sealed, it should be possible to collect it with a storage ring, but who will Seal it?"

"Did you see True Monarch Jian Wanzhong make his move just now?"

"I didn't see it clearly, it was too fast."

"What exactly was his method? I don't know."

The players discussed animatedly.

Jian Wanzhong took away the Profound Yellow Mother Qi, but there was still a lot of Profound Yellow Qi remaining here, constantly flowing and liable to dissipate at any moment.

The players were very envious, but completely powerless.

The four Guards acted simultaneously, but even they couldn't gather the Profound Yellow Qi, clearly lacking the means.

Jian Wanzhong's frown deepened at this.

At this moment, streaks of light flashed within the scattered Profound Yellow Qi, and something seemingly wrapped within the gas fell down.

"Look quickly! Treasures are falling!"

"Holy crap, is this the dungeon clear reward?"

"Brothers, hurry and grab them!"

The players immediately grew excited, as they saw one artifact after another falling from the departing Profound Yellow Qi.

"This is..."

The four Guards also took action, collecting some artifacts, but they were somewhat surprised.

"They have indeed been tempered by Profound Yellow Qi, but very lightly, and the quality of these artifacts themselves is too poor."

"Only sixth-grade? No, there's also a seventh-grade toy here."

"No, would the owner of the Immortal Palace place a seventh-grade toy here?"

"More than just seventh-grade, there's also eighth-grade and even ninth-grade trash here, what kind of joke is this?"

The four Guards looked at each other.

If a strong Cultivator broke into this place, barely escaped with his life, and finally found a treasure, only to discover it was a pile of low-grade trash, at most usable as toys for his descendants, what kind of mindset would he have?

The Guards discussed for a bit and probably came up with a guess.

"It shouldn't be left behind by the Immortal Palace owner."

"Most likely, these are things left behind by intruders, falling here by chance."

"It's just that the grades are too poor, we don't even bother to collect them."

"Forget it, just give them to these little ones."

Unlike these few fifth-grade Cultivators, the players were extremely excited at this moment.

"Holy crap! A seventh-grade treasured sword! I hit the jackpot!"

"Wow, this is a good sixth-grade item! It's mine!"

"Eh? What's this green copper thing? Let me analyze it... Uh, it just says it might be a fragment of something? Isn't that just trash? I'll throw it away."

Ye Hei's physique couldn't compare to these players, and his cultivation progress had been very slow over the past few months. When a large number of treasures appeared, he couldn't compete for them at all.

He just stood at the edge, watching everyone scramble for the treasures.

At this moment, the green copper piece that someone had disdainfully thrown away landed in front of him.

"What is this?"

Ye Hei reached out and picked it up.

From its appearance, it was just a useless broken fragment, with a certain thickness, one could also call it a green copper block.

But it had nothing to do with being a treasure; it looked more like scraps after Artifact Refining, or a part of an artifact shattered in battle.

Simply put, it was trash.

Yet Ye Hei carefully picked it up and cautiously put it into his pouch.

This was the first "treasure" he had managed to obtain since arriving in this unknown world.

"Everyone, it's time to go!"

After everyone had gained something,

Jian Wanzhong called out.

He continued to protect everyone, heading upwards.

They first moved through the river, then the yellow sand, followed by the solid ground.

"Successfully came out!"

"Does this mean the dungeon is cleared?"

"Why was there no combat? No BOSS either? It feels a bit hastily designed, doesn't it?"

"And the rewards are too meager, aren't they? Just these low-quality items?"

"Eh, this is our novice dungeon after all, so a lower tier is quite reasonable, right?"

"Didn't they say it was an Immortal Palace?"

"It's just a name, I don't see anything related to Immortal Ascension inside."

"It feels a bit perfunctory, did we miss some hidden plot?"

"Probably not, right?"

"Do you think we'll have a chance to enter the Immortal Palace again in the future?"

"Why go in? Haven't we already figured it out? There's only a pile of white bones and various anomalies inside, nothing else."

Everyone chattered noisily.

Jian Wanzhong looked up, his Spiritual Sense swept out, and he frowned slightly.

He sensed traces of battle in the distance; it seemed the Yue Family people had fought a great demon not long ago, and the aura left by that great demon was somewhat strange, as if it wasn't an ordinary race... But none of this concerned them.

Jian Wanzhong looked towards the east; the Jian Family Head was still waiting there.

They had to go report first, then figure out how to continue searching for that Dragon descendant... Prison Land.

Northern part of the Immortal Dynasty, about two thousand li south of the Qingling Sect.

A scenic area composed of mountains, lakes, and forests.

Players led by Li Changfeng were gathered here.

The Golden Core Players hovered in mid-air, each finding a peak, as if they were the masters of their respective peaks, facing each other from afar.

They didn't trust each other much, so they didn't get too close.

At the foot of the mountains, players also gathered in large numbers.

This was the first overall meeting among the players.

Li Changfeng wore a dashing white robe and a cloak, which swayed constantly in the valley wind, making him appear very elegant.

He scanned the crowd, and after confirming the number of people, he spoke:

"Well then, I'll keep it short.

"Help from the Burial Emperor Star is out of the question for now.

"The Aptitude of those players is too poor; they can't fully receive the Nascent Soul Inheritance, and naturally, they can't directly transmit the Nascent Soul Method through the System.

"It might take them a considerable amount of time to figure out the Legacy, and whether they can truly form a Nascent Soul is also questionable, after all, the 'good people' of the Jian Family they speak of might not be trustworthy and could have set a trap.

"So... if we want to form a Nascent Soul, the most reasonable method is still to take down the Qingling Sect and seize the Nascent Soul Method within it."

Li Changfeng paused, observing the expressions of the players.

Players, unlike native Cultivators, found it difficult to conceal their emotions.

At this moment, some players' faces showed excitement, some anxiety, and some an inexplicable calmness.

Li Changfeng said:

"But as we all know, the Qingling Sect has a Nascent Soul Cultivator guarding it, and no single person fighting alone will suffice.

"We must unite and form a collective action group specifically targeting the Qingling Sect; only then will we have a chance to seize the Legacy within it.

"For this very reason, the first Player Group Action Council is convened here."

At this point, a voice interrupted Li Changfeng:

"I understand the reasoning."

It was Wang Long, who always preferred to act alone, who spoke.

He wore a red magic robe, held a long spear, and his entire body seemed to be ablaze with flames, giving him an imposing aura without needing to show anger.

He scanned the foot of the mountain, looking at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Players gathered there, and asked:

"But why involve these low-level players in the operation? Let alone True Lord Feng Chuan, any Golden Core Immortal Master of the Qingling Sect could easily crush them.

"They're utterly useless."

The other Golden Core Players, though silent, nodded in agreement, clearly endorsing his words.
