The virtual realm of mountains and rivers was opened. After Cheng Ling woke up, he suddenly found that he had almost become a mortal. While hesitating, a message appeared in the depths of his mind, like a strong alarm, which continued to grow and deepen the impression.
"Three years...I only have three years..."
He only has three years. He must use these three years to practice as much as possible, improve all abilities, and improve his own strength. As for what will happen in three years, he doesn't know.
Three years!
This seems to be a death curse, as if in three years, if a certain goal is not achieved, something bad will happen.
Three years of urging, like a spell, made Cheng Ling's heart beat faster, his blood flow faster, and even his breathing became rapid.
He worked hard to adjust his breath and control his breathing. Even though he forgot a lot, it was instinct, an instinct integrated into the soul. As long as the soul is still there, he will never forget it.
With conscious breath adjustment, the heartbeat and blood speed returned to normal, and the breathing became calmer. Although the three years of urging had fallen into silence, Cheng Ling did not dare to underestimate it or relax!
"I have long heard that the virtual world of mountains and rivers is mysterious and unpredictable. I didn't expect it to be so magical. It constructs a virtual world, a virtual world that covers the entire fairyland." In every corner of the fairyland, those who are over a thousand years old, or have heard of mountains and rivers before, The great master of the virtual realm exclaimed, "Like a projection, the scenes in the virtual realm can be clearly displayed."
"It is indeed magical. It allows the participants to enter with the way of spiritual soul and Taoism, and re-constructs the bodies of ordinary people for them. It temporarily seals their memories of cultivation, allowing them to only know their names and identities, and also restricts them. For three years, we will work hard to improve our abilities and strengths in all aspects, and use this to see their respective talents, potential, and everything else."
"Although some memories related to practicing martial arts and swordsmanship have been temporarily sealed, the memories of other aspects are still there."
Being strong for a moment does not mean being strong forever. The three lists of Shanhexujing are not about temporary strength, but eternal talent and potential, which cover many aspects. Therefore, every contestant After entering the virtual world of mountains and rivers, it is equivalent to starting from scratch.
From the beginning, within three years, relying on part of my memory, talent and potential, I tried my best to improve!
The moist sea breeze blew everyone's cheeks. Cheng Ling raised his head and looked up at the sky. He saw a huge scorching sun, burning fiercely and shooting out thousands of blazing white beams. It was like a sword descending from the sky, blazing on the earth, making people feel scorching. .
Cheng Ling's eyes narrowed, feeling dazzling, and he quickly covered them with his palms. Now, he is just an ordinary person with fragile eyes that cannot look directly into the rays of the scorching sun.
Behind them, there are small wooden huts everywhere, all over the mountains and plains, and figures walking over from a distance, none of them recognize each other.
They entered the virtual world of mountains and rivers with their souls and thoughts, and their memories of practicing martial arts, swordsmanship, etc. were temporarily sealed, but their memories of other aspects were still there. Therefore, one's own character and temperament have not been affected in any way. The arrogant person remains arrogant, and the indifferent person remains indifferent.
But now, everyone, regardless of male or female, is wearing coarse linen clothes, with bare hands, and no immortal energy fluctuations on their bodies.
Hearing the old man's shouts, they all came over in unison.
"How to sell these secret books?"
After a while, someone finally couldn't help but ask.
The old man said: "It's very simple. I have all basic secret books here. Each one has the same price and requires ten essences."
"What is Jing Yuan? How to obtain it?"
"This is the Novice Village, which is equivalent to the place where you were born. To the east is a large beach by the sea, where fish monsters often appear, while to the west is a wasteland, where the monsters are more dangerous. He is a wolf warrior in the wilderness."
"Jingyuan is the essence of energy and spirit gathered in the bodies of monsters. You can get it by killing them. However, you are only equivalent to a mortal now. The Wild Wolf is too powerful. It is better not to take risks until you reach a certain level."
"How are the levels of monsters divided? How should we cultivate?"
"It's very simple. Jingyuan can not only be exchanged for exercises, armors, and weapons, but it can also restore injuries and assist one's own cultivation. It is very important. Only by absorbing the huge energy in Jingyuan can one improve his cultivation level."
"As for the level and cultivation level of the monster beasts, they are the same as what you have experienced, starting from the Qi Refining Stage to the Immortal King Stage."
"So the highest level in the Mountain and River Void Realm can only be promoted to the Immortal King Stage?"
"The Mountains and Rivers Virtual Realm is called a virtual realm because it imitates the cultivation in reality. However, the cultivation progress is much faster than in reality, and the time is only three years. Don't underestimate the Immortal King Stage. During these three years, , whether it can be successfully achieved remains to be seen.”
"And only by advancing to the Immortal King stage can you go to the King Tower. This must be one of the goals of many immortal friends!"
"Since it is a virtual realm, and you enter it with the spirit of the soul, then even if you die here, it should not be a big deal, right?"
"Hehe~! This is what I have to remind you. After death in the virtual realm of mountains and rivers, it has no impact on your body. But it is different in the virtual realm. Every time you die, your cultivation level will be reduced. Level one, and there will be a five-day period of weakness.”
Everyone gasped, their cultivation level lowered by one level? If it is downgraded from the foundation building stage to the Qi refining stage, it can be tolerated. Once it reaches a higher level, it will be too difficult to practice again after falling.
Some people couldn't help but ask: "What will happen during the weak period?"
"The weak period is similar to your current state. It is equivalent to a mortal who can only huddle in the Novice Village and will not recover until five days have passed."
"But old man, as you said, we have just been reborn and have no cultivation at all. How can we obtain essence to exchange for these secret books of yours?"
The old man chuckled and said: "This is not what I have to worry about. I haven't tried it, so how do I know it won't work? The fish monsters on the beach are the weakest monsters in the mountains and rivers. If you can't kill them, how can you know? You are talking nonsense about being promoted to the Immortal King stage and hitting the third list."
"I would like to remind you one more thing. Although the virtual realm is just a simulation of reality, some aspects are still the same. For example, below the golden elixir stage, you are still unable to achieve real inedia. Only by taking in a certain amount of food can you ensure that you have the strength to kill monsters. beast."
"Okay, that's all. Since you don't have any essence, why are you hanging around me? Why don't you go kill the monsters quickly!"
With a loud shout, everyone seemed to be enlightened and dispersed, heading towards the beach to the east of the village.
Cheng Ling swept his eyes, and in an instant he was the only one left beside the old man. After pondering for a while, I finally followed those people to the beach, but I was careful when I went there and took all the fishing nets next to the wooden houses with me.
He had some ideas in mind, but he had to see the strength of the fish monster first.
When we came to the beach, we saw a piece of blue sea in front of us. Waves were crashing and the water was undulating under the mountain. At this time, he saw some monks already fighting in twos and threes with some blue-skinned fish monsters.
Those fish monsters are as big as ordinary people, covered in blue with many barbs on their bodies. They hold a weapon about ten feet long like a spear in their hands. I don’t know if it is a fish bone or what material it is made of. .
Stand aside and observe the monks fighting the fish monster. It is generally found that the fish monsters are slightly stronger. They are very fast and have strong attack power. Several monks were killed within a few moves. Fortunately, they are all novices now. They will not be demoted even if they die. They just need to Weak for five days.
The location where Cheng Ling was standing was still some distance away from the beach. After looking at it for a while, he finally decided to experience it for himself. Now he walked deep into the beach and found a lone fish monster. Naturally, he stretched out his hands and turned into sword fingers to fight with it.
Only by fighting in person can one intuitively experience the power of the fish monster. The fish bone spear in his hand constantly attacks his vitals. It is conceivable that once he is stabbed, he will be seriously injured. On the soft beach, Cheng Ling's feet accelerated and he kept dodging around the fish monster.
With bare hands and no weapons, he could only try his best to get close and greatly weaken the fish monster's long-range attack damage. His physical strength continued to be exhausted, and after about a while to reach for a cup of tea, he finally managed to get close and close to her due to his unexpected change of body shape.
The sword finger in his hand struck out at an extremely fast speed, hitting the fish monster's arms and chest continuously. The fish monster was in pain and could no longer hold the spear, so it fell to the beach. Cheng Ling took the opportunity to point his fingers at the fish monster's forehead again. The fish monster let out a strange cry, held its head in both hands and kept retreating.
Cheng Ling raised his right foot, and the spear that had fallen on the beach came into his hand, and he stabbed it into the fish monster's chest, piercing it all the way through!
The fish monster let out a scream, and its blue body fell limply on the beach. After a while, a ball of light the size of an egg slowly emerged from its body. It should be the essence that the old man said.
Cheng Ling gasped for air. This fish monster was too difficult to kill. It was too inefficient to rely on his own strength. No wonder the monks I saw before were all in groups, and they must have worked together to kill them. Although each person had to kill several fish monsters to get a light ball, the victory was efficiency and safety.
He did not absorb the essence energy immediately. He glanced at the body of the fish monster lying on the ground and frowned. The body was too big, and without a storage ring, it couldn't be carried very far. Forget it, then think of another way.
He glanced up, dragged the fish monster's body to a corner above the sea, covered the fish monster with the fishing nets, and stabbed the fish monster several times with a bone gun to let its blood flow out. Then he threw the fish monster's body and the fishing net into the sea water.
This was the only way he could think of to obtain meat, hoping that the blood of the fish monster would attract some small fish to devour its body. After doing this, he got up and returned towards Novice Village.
