66: It’s really sold; is there more than one upgrade route?

Even though he was the seller of a Sixth-Grade Cultivation Technique and Qi Gathering Method, Old Potato was impatient, afraid that the wealthy netizen wouldn't buy it.

He didn't think that things from the Xuanhuan World could be worth much; selling it for a million was entirely due to the buyer being rich and not caring about money. If he missed this chance, he really wouldn't be able to sell it.

In fact, there was a reason for this: while a Sixth-Grade Cultivation Technique was good, its value would gradually decrease over time. Only at this current juncture, where everyone was racing against time, could it fetch a high price.

Old Potato was anxious, and finally, he received a reply:

"Is it a Great Jiang Dynasty Imperial Family Cultivation Technique? State the name of the Cultivation Technique."

Old Potato's eyes lit up. The other party was clearly prepared and wanted to verify the authenticity with the Cultivation Technique's name.

This made the transaction seem more legitimate.

"Golden Edge Emperor Qi Art."

"..."

The other side remained silent, not responding. Old Potato waited anxiously for a while, then suddenly thought of something and quickly said:

"There's also the Qi Gathering Method: Mortal Vision."

Sure enough, the other side immediately replied:

"Send your card number, or a QR code will also work."

Old Potato was overjoyed and quickly sent the QR code.

"Your payment has arrived: 100,000 yuan!"

One hundred thousand yuan!

Old Potato's eyes almost popped out. Could someone really spend 100,000 yuan on a game item?

"This is a deposit. My game account is XXXXXX. Please send the Qi Gathering Method's Secret Manual."

The Xuanhuan World has an email function, allowing direct transmission of Cultivation Techniques and Secret Manuals. However, because there are no Jade Slips or other carriers to aid Cultivation, one must start from scratch to comprehend and progress, making the efficiency very low. Thus, few people share Cultivation Techniques via email.

Old Potato quickly sent it and soon received the remaining 900,000 yuan.

Someone actually spent a million yuan on a game item!

Old Potato felt a little guilty, thinking he had gotten a huge bargain. After some thought, he also sent the Golden Edge Emperor Qi Art.

The person on the other side replied:

"The Golden Edge Emperor Qi Art is not very useful; only the Imperial Family can Cultivate it."

"However, since you sent a bonus gift, I'll give you some information."

"The Great Jiang Dynasty's Empress is a formidable person. Ten years ago, she governed the country in an orderly fashion, but now she sells official positions, perverts justice, indulges in debauchery in the imperial harem, and even carves up territory to enfeoff kings. There are many irregularities, and she must be plotting something, perhaps related to the Golden Edge Emperor Qi Art's National Fortune Qi Absorption Method."

"Friend, since you soul-traveled to the Great Jiang Imperial Family, it's best to be careful."

This news was very important to Old Potato, but at this moment, he was completely immersed in the excitement of selling for a million yuan.

"A million yuan, a million yuan!!!"

He jumped up, almost dancing with joy.

He had earned a lot of money from live streaming over the years, but this million yuan was almost like found money. How could it not make him excited?

More importantly, the Xuanhuan World was just starting, and it was about to become hugely popular nationwide and even globally. Player numbers were soaring, and such money-making opportunities would likely increase in the future.

Moreover, the official's next update would directly enable an in-game trading System, so there would be no need to worry about not finding buyers then.

"What a great game!"

Old Potato was extremely excited. He closed the chat window, re-entered the game, and couldn't wait to use his identity as a male concubine to find more treasures to sell.

As soon as he entered the game, a small plot event occurred.

A eunuch rushed over to deliver an imperial decree:

"Lord Su, His Majesty's decree orders you to supervise the army and lead the Tiger Wolf Guard to raid the Efeng Mountain Range to seize the Golden Core Tomb."

Old Potato was stunned and pointed to himself:

"Me? Send me, a male concubine, to supervise the army? Send me, a Qi Refining Ninth Level Cultivator, to seize a Golden Core Tomb?"

The old eunuch shrieked: "Lord Su, prepare quickly. The Tiger Wolf Guard is already poised for action."

...In the Capital.

A half-mountain villa in the inner circle.

Li Changfeng walked away from his computer desk, stretched his arms, and a smile played on his lips.

"I've finally bought this Mortal Vision. I just wonder if other players have this Mortal Vision Qi, so I don't have to spend time specifically gathering Qi."

Li Changfeng then posted on the forum, seeking to buy Mortal Vision Qi, but waited a long time without a response.

"That's true. According to Baixiaosheng's intelligence, the Qi Gathering Method isn't something everyone has. To preserve Immortal Qi for future generations, it must be a major Family or Sect. Even if a player could transmigrate into one of these forces, it would be difficult to obtain Immortal Qi easily."

"Even if I did obtain it, without a trading System now, I wouldn't dare to show my face to trade."

Shaking his head, Li Changfeng wasn't annoyed.

He had body-traveled into the game, used his financial power to buy Cultivation Techniques and Secret Manuals, and also bought some resource intelligence. He knew that to establish an Immortal Foundation, it was best to start absorbing Immortal Qi into the body for tempering from the Qi Refining First Level. One could say he had an advantage over many soul-traveled players.

Li Changfeng stretched his limbs, then prepared to lie down in the VR pod to gather Qi himself.

At this moment, a sound came from below the villa. A middle-aged man walked up the spiral staircase step by step.

Li Changfeng went out to greet him; it was his father, Director Li Shaohua.

Before Director Li Shaohua could say anything, Li Changfeng quickly asked:

"Dad, did you ask Jiang Feng? When will the Cultivation acceleration function that the official website promised be enabled?"

The Cultivation acceleration function was a big promise Jiang Feng had made.

According to the plan, players would be able to enable time acceleration during secluded Cultivation. This time acceleration was not entirely accurate; more precisely, it directly deducted Lifespan and then advanced the player's time. To prevent players from exhausting all their Lifespan immediately and everyone engaging in extreme combat, Jiang Feng, after careful consideration, designed it so that a maximum of 10 years of in-game Lifespan could be consumed each day.

However, this function was still in the planning stage and had not yet been implemented.

Director Li Shaohua rolled his eyes at his son: "All you do is play games all day. Come to the company to work tomorrow."

Li Changfeng was carefree: "Aren't you just afraid that my progress will surpass yours? Stop pretending."

Director Li Shaohua coughed awkwardly, returning to the topic: "I asked Huan Meng, and they said that after the first round of the competition's PK ends, and the official's first wave of promotional resource packs are released, after a large number of players flood in, he will enable the Cultivation acceleration function. Otherwise, the advantage of players entering now would be too great."

Li Changfeng clicked his tongue:

"What advantage could there be? We don't have any good Cultivation Techniques or resources now. Trading Lifespan for Cultivation is just a temporary measure, and the conversion rate is terrifyingly low. If our Lifespan runs out before Foundation Establishment, let alone an advantage, we'd have to restart."

Director Li Shaohua glanced at him, said nothing, and went upstairs on his own, lying directly in the VR pod.

Li Changfeng secretly watched for a long time. The VR pod's privacy protection was excellent, making it impossible to see the game screen.

"What a pity. I wanted to kill the old man in the game and get gold."

...In the game world.

The Mage chose soul-travel and opened his eyes to find himself a bald little monk.

The reason he chose soul-travel was because the cultivation level marked next to this identity greatly intrigued him:

"Cultivation Realm: Mage."

It wasn't Qi Refining, not Foundation Establishment, and not Golden Core.

Seeing this Realm name, identical to his nickname, the Mage immediately entered the game.

He vaguely suspected that this Xuanhuan World seemed to have more than one upgrade path?
