383: Fundraising to buy physical health

Change his Physique?

Wan Lin certainly had this idea.

But he glanced at his remaining transaction points and immediately dismissed the thought.

Special Physiques are different from things like Medicinal Pills and equipment.

As long as you exchange for it once, your current character permanently possesses the Special Physique and can gain continuous benefits based on it.

One can even ignore other Legacies, directly cultivate the Special Physique, and still achieve a very high limit.

This makes the strength of Special Physiques seem somewhat overpowered compared to other trade items.

Furthermore, items like Medicinal Pills and equipment can be traded among players, but Special Physiques can truly only be obtained through the transaction System.

Therefore, the price of Special Physiques is often much higher.

Consequently, many "cheap" Physiques have truly comical actual effects, leading players who buy them to immediately complain about the intelligence tax.

Everyone understood: either buy a powerful Physique recognized by the natives of the Xuanhuan World, or simply don't buy one at all.

Those Physiques lacking information, or those with cheap prices, were one trap after another.

There was even a Physique that "was cursed by heaven and earth, unable to absorb Spiritual Qi, and resulted in death before age twenty," which trapped several players.

Precisely because of this, Wan Lin was reluctant to waste transaction points buying a Special Physique.

At this moment, the replies in the thread were still increasing, and a bolded name popped up.

[Li Changfeng (Changfeng): Let us pool funds to help you purchase a relatively good Physique, at least enough to help you pass the Trial.]

[But you must promise us that after passing the Trial, you may keep the treasures you obtain, but the Legacy and intelligence you acquire must be made public.]

Wan Lin thought for a moment and replied:

"Immortal Master Changfeng, I planned from the start to bring players here to undergo the Trial, so I will definitely make the intelligence public. You don't need to give me transaction points.

"However, I might not be able to give you the Legacy; it probably requires personally traversing the Sacred Emperor Mountain to obtain it.

"Honestly, my original plan was to guard the Sacred Emperor Mountain and sell tickets with the Yao Race to make money, hehe."

[Li Changfeng (Changfeng): Wan Lin, it wasn't easy for you to explore and find the Yao Race outside the wall. I believe our player community should encourage exploratory behavior like yours, as it benefits all players.

[In that case, I recommend you choose the 'Boiling Blood Hegemon Body.' It is a Special Physique recorded by the natives, possessing a powerful Physical Body capable of matching powerful, atavistic Yao Race members. Moreover, the transaction points required are not too expensive, making it very suitable for you to pass the Trial.

[Open a fundraising window. Those willing can leave their names and send money to Wan Lin; we won't force those who are unwilling.]

Wan Lin was surprised by this.

After finding the Yao Race outside the wall, he had already thought of ways to monetize his discovery.

First, he planned to follow the path of Li Changfeng and This Time Bu Ge: making the acquired intelligence public to gain goodwill from players, especially new ones.

Then, he would use this goodwill to get them to help him, such as assisting him in passing the Trial or helping him search for other Body Tempering Methods.

But Wan Lin never expected that before he had even revealed much intelligence or shared the Yao Race's Sacred Emperor Mountain with other players...

...Li Changfeng would help him start a fundraiser, intending to assist him in exchanging for a Special Physique to complete the Trial.

"This is... too touching!"

Wan Lin felt like shedding tears: "Sure enough, the players of the Xuanhuan World are all good people!"

After waiting for a while, the fundraising was actually completed.

Many players were interested in the Sacred Emperor Mountain Trial and requested Wan Lin start a live stream so they could see what the Trial was all about.

The sponsored transaction points were considered tips.

Of course, Wan Lin did not refuse. He started the live stream and simultaneously purchased the Boiling Blood Hegemon Body.

As soon as he acquired the Special Physique, his body changed instantly.

His muscles swelled, emitting wisps of steam.

His Meridians and blood vessels simultaneously expanded, then contracted, and the strength throughout his entire body continuously burst forth.

Finally, Wan Lin stood up, chest proudly puffed out.

The invisible pressure had not decreased, yet he felt much lighter, almost as if the pressure didn't exist.

"Is this the Special Physique, the Boiling Blood Hegemon Body?"

The effect of the Boiling Blood Hegemon Body is to fill the entire body's blood with formidable power, which then nourishes the whole body, subsequently enhancing the Physical Body's strength to rival that of an atavistic Great Yao.

The Boiling Blood Hegemon Body also grants its possessor extremely powerful self-healing abilities, giving them the capacity for limb Rebirth, similar to a Golden Core Players, even during the Mortal stage.

Although this item seems somewhat mediocre compared to terrifying Physiques whose effects are increasingly exaggerated, compared to ordinary people, it is indeed a Prodigy-level Physique.

More importantly, Physiques purchased through the transaction System can be acquired directly without damage or hindrance, and without any negative side effects, as if they were innate—a perfection that seems absurd to the natives.

Wan Lin stretched his body, felt the surging power, and the corners of his mouth curved up.

He jumped up and down in place, then headed toward the path ahead.

The live stream was already active, and more and more players were pouring in.

Bullet comments flew across the screen non-stop.

[Is this the Trial of Sacred Emperor Mountain? Why does it look so ordinary?]

[Didn't you hear Wan Lin? This Trial is a gravity Trial, or rather, a pressure Trial. He is bearing immense pressure and must endure it to pass.]

[Is that all there is to it?]

[Simple? Haha, you don't know how miserable Wan Lin was before; he was lying on the ground like a dead dog.]

[It's not that easy.]

Li Changfeng and other Golden Core Playerss were also watching the live stream, examining the terrain of Sacred Emperor Mountain and observing Wan Lin's situation.

Although there were many rumors about the Trial, this was the first time a player had live-streamed it. This was significant and provided a lot of intelligence.

"So that's how it is. Although the terrain is unremarkable—one might mistake it for a random small hill—a closer look reveals that the surrounding scenery changes abnormally. The mountain path seems endless. Is this a Secret Realm similar to a Grotto-Heaven? Or perhaps a Semi-Grotto-Heaven?"

"I see. A Secret Realm doesn't need too many traps or mechanisms; a crucial assessment is enough. A pressure Trial directly tests the strength of the Physical Body; it's simple and practical."

"Is this meant to screen the successor's Aptitude?"

"No, it shouldn't just be screening. Look closely: as Wan Lin continuously moves upward and forward, his Physical Body is constantly being strengthened. This must be a benefit of the Trial."

"So that's it. I remember players from the Burial Emperor Star sending back intelligence saying that excellent Secret Realms gradually allow successors to receive the Legacy during the Trial process."

The Golden Core Playerss discussed animatedly.

Unfortunately, besides Sacred Emperor Mountain, there was currently no second set of Trial Grounds for them to verify this.

Another period of time passed.

The mountain path in front of Wan Lin gradually steepened, then transformed into a sheer cliff requiring climbing, easily several hundred meters high.

"Is this the staircase leading to the first layer, the 'Dead Flesh Layer'?"

Wan Lin became excited. As long as he reached the Dead Flesh Layer, he would be able to acquire the corresponding Legacy reward!
