The setting sun is like blood, dyeing half of it red, the clouds seem to be ignited, the sky is dim, a cool breeze blows slowly, ruffling the hair, and before you know it, night is coming.
Cheng Ling looked at the twenty-four essences in his hand and the wolf shadow boots under his feet, and sheathed his sword with satisfaction.
He continued to kill twelve elite wilderness wolves and dozens of ordinary wolves, and the remaining wolves scattered one after another under his crazy killing. As he expected, other wolf shadow equipment could indeed explode in the Wolf Valley. Counting the wolf shadow sword and wolf shadow armor that he had obtained before, there were already three pieces.
"That's all, it will be completely dark in an hour. That's it for today. Let's go back to Novice Village to repair ourselves. Prepare more water and meat tomorrow before exploring deeper."
In Novice Village, there are restaurants and restaurants. Of course, like other shops, Jingyuan is required for all purchases.
Cheng Ling now has a lot of energy in him, so of course he can't treat himself badly. He first went to the restaurant, spent two Jingyuan and had a good meal. Then, he used two Jingyuan to exchange for a lot of exquisite meat and wine from the hotel owner.
Below the golden elixir stage, you still need to take in food. Ordinary people must eat three meals a day, and during the Qi refining and foundation building stages, they must eat at least one full meal a day, otherwise, their physical strength will not be able to keep up.
After having enough wine and food, Cheng Ling left the restaurant, walked around for a while, and then walked to the clothing store. He planned to buy a long gown and only used the wolf skin to cover the tattoo of the wolf shadow armor, which always felt very awkward.
After entering the shop, he checked it out for a while, and then exchanged three essences for a purple gown, which was in line with his habits and not too expensive. Next, he went to the grocery store and walked around. The power of artistic conception was still very helpful to the power of swordsmanship. He was wondering if he could buy treasures that could assist in understanding the artistic conception.
Not to mention, he actually found the Five Elements Crystal Stone. This type of crystal stone is the lowest level stone that can assist in understanding the artistic conception. However, it is very expensive. One stone costs ten essences.
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head, thought for a moment, and finally chose an earth crystal. The artistic conception of earth has the strongest defense. If you want to defeat the enemy, you must first learn to take a beating! In the virtual world of mountains and rivers, the way to win is to hunt monsters and obtain essence while ensuring your own immortality.
After all, the level will drop every time he dies, and there will even be a five-day period of weakness. For him, time is the most precious.
In this way, after wandering around several shops, he only had seven essences left in his body. He planned to return to his hut, but by some strange coincidence, he came to the old man's bookstall again.
The old man raised his head and glanced at him, his face moved slightly, and said: "Boy, you are able to advance both Qi refining and body refining at the same time in such a short period of time. Moreover, you have already collected three pieces of Wolf Shadow equipment. This kind of talent is really great." amazing."
Cheng Ling asked: "Senior, I still have many things I want to explain to you. What exactly is this virtual realm of mountains and rivers? And what kind of monk can be on the three lists?"
The old man nodded slowly and said: "Being able to ask these questions is enough to show that in addition to your amazing talent, you also have a calm mind and superior wisdom. In this case, I will tell you the real test of the Mountain and River Void Realm!"
Cheng Ling's eyes narrowed and he listened quietly!
The old man said: "Having experienced Wolf Valley, you must have a general understanding of Novice Village. Generally speaking, Novice Village only allows many monks to have a general concept of the virtual realm of mountains and rivers. More importantly, it is to find ways to get out of Novice Village. , see a wider world.”
"You have to remember that Jingyuan is the most important thing in the mountains and rivers virtual realm. Only by acquiring enough Jingyuan can you have everything. Jingyuan is also divided into levels, and it is divided into ten grades from low to high."
Cheng Ling asked: "Can it be understood that the essence produced by the fish monster should be the first-grade essence, while the essence produced by the Wild Wolf is the second-grade essence."
The old man shook his head and said: "Wrong! The essence obtained by killing the fish monster is only to lay a good foundation for the monks who have just entered the mountain and river virtual realm. Only the essence produced by killing the wilderness wolf is the first-grade essence. You must also I feel that there is a huge difference in energy between the two.”
Cheng Ling suddenly understood, but did not interrupt and signaled the old man to continue talking.
The old man paused for a moment and said: "There are ten grades of fine Yuan, and the energy contained in each grade is very different. In terms of value, the second grade fine yuan can be exchanged for one hundred first-grade fine yuan, and the third grade can be exchanged for one hundred second-grade fine yuan. And so on.”
"The same is true for your cultivation realm. During the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages, you only need to absorb the first-grade essence. When you reach the Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul stages, you will need to absorb the second-grade essence to be effective, because by then , the energy contained in the first-grade essence can no longer satisfy the improvement of the golden elixir stage."
"Besides, the further you get to the back of the Jingyuan, the less chance you can get it, and the monsters you have to kill are more powerful. Just like a pyramid in the real world, big waves wash away the sand, and you go up layer by layer until you reach the final peak."
"To sum up, the first-grade Jingyuan corresponds to the two realms of Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage, the second-grade Jingyuan corresponds to the Golden Elixir Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage, and the third-grade Jingyuan corresponds to the Divine Transformation Stage and the Distraction Stage, progressing upwards. Each additional level of essence corresponds to two levels of cultivation, both for Qi refining and body refining."
"Therefore, I am really shocked that you were able to advance Qi and Body refining to the second level so quickly in Novice Village. You must have received some kind of reward for killing the Wolf King!"
Cheng Ling nodded silently. This old man was indeed an old monster in the virtual realm of mountains and rivers. With just a casual glance, he deduced that he had killed the Wolf King and advanced to the foundation building stage with the help of the five-color essence. This kind of opportunity is indeed not easy. can be obtained.
The old man continued to explain: "Next, I will tell you about these three lists. The first is the potential list: it is actually very easy to get on the potential list. As long as you advance first in body refining or qi refining, you can be on the list. Among them. So, it’s the first list to open.”
"However, the list only includes the earliest one hundred monks, and among these hundred monks, until no one can open the door to the new world, the list will not change. All the monks who participated in the test of the mountain and river virtual realm have their own potential. The numerical value cannot be seen either.”
Cheng Ling was confused after hearing this and asked: "What is a new world? What is the potential value?"
"The new world is the world outside the novice villages that I said. There are a total of one hundred novice villages in the mountains and rivers virtual realm. In order to protect the monks who have just entered the virtual realm to the maximum extent, each novice village has a barrier. People cannot get out, and powerful monsters outside cannot get in."
"Boundary? How to break it?" Cheng Ling asked.
"It's very simple. Pass the test set by the virtual realm. As for the specific test, I can't explain it. I can only rely on you to understand it yourself."
"And when a genius monk in a certain novice village passes the test and opens the way for the novice village to the new world, the remaining two lists will be opened, which are the killing list and the mountain and river list."
"At this time, the achievements of all monks after entering the virtual realm of mountains and rivers will be reflected in numerical values. For example, if you comprehend the power of artistic conception, you can get 1,000 potential points, and if you comprehend the meaning of the sword, then Get 2,000 potential points."
"At that time, the names on the potential list will be re-ranked according to the potential points obtained. By understanding the artistic conception, creating your own swordsmanship, sword skills, body skills, footwork, etc., you may get potential value bonuses. become."
"However, once you die, your potential points will also drop. If you die once, you will lose 2,000 points, and you will randomly lose a skill that you originally learned. This requires the monk to learn it again, and even if you learn it again, it will not be lost. There will be a potential value bonus.”
Speaking of this, the old man paused again and waited for Cheng Ling to digest it for a moment before continuing to explain: "After the potential list, there is the killing list! The killing list, as the name suggests, is a list that records killings. This killing is not for the Shanhexu territory. The killing of monsters is a killing between fellow cultivators."
"As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. In the virtual realm of mountains and rivers, a hundred novice villages are set up. Invisibly, all the monks participating in the virtual realm are divided into a hundred factions. Only by killing the monks of other factions, can they Only then can you get kill points and get on the list.”
Cheng Ling nodded to express his understanding. No wonder he has only seen the potential list so far, and there is no news on the killing list and the mountain and river list. He then asked: "What are the conditions for being listed on the mountain and river list?"
"The Mountains and Rivers Ranking is actually the overall ranking in the Mountains and Rivers Void Realm. Only those who have made great contributions to the entire Mountains and Rivers Void Realm have the opportunity to be listed on the two lists, the Comprehensive Potential Ranking and the Killing List."
"There are three lists, and each participant can only enter one. That is, if you are ranked on the potential list, you can no longer be included in the killing list and mountain and river list. However, the three can be increased incrementally, depending on what the participants have achieved. Such achievements are ranked in ascending order in the form of mountains and rivers list, killing list, and potential list."
"When the three-year period expires, there will be a ranking competition, which is the ultimate battle to get the three hundredth ranking on the three lists. Therefore, you must find a way to enter these three lists. The higher the ranking, the better Well, especially the Mountain and River List, when the Mountain and River Void Realm ends, there may be unexpected gains."
Cheng Ling suddenly realized that this was the ultimate goal of the three lists. The potential list, to put it bluntly, looks at the potential of a monk. The greater the potential, the greater the achievements in the future. But this only represents a person's potential after all. Whether he can reach the pinnacle of spiritual cultivation is unknown.
The killing list is relatively simple. Fighting with the monks from the other ninety-nine novice villages is like a national war, competing for the luck in the virtual world of mountains and rivers, with the goal of final victory.
The Mountain and River Ranking is the most valuable among the three rankings. It is conceivable that after entering the Mountain and River Ranking, you will get the most rewards.
While vying for places on the three lists, many contestants also re-walked the path of cultivation in the virtual world of mountains and rivers, examining themselves to see what they had missed in their previous cultivation and what their shortcomings were, so as to better themselves.
Not only can there be an opportunity for review, but it is also a battle between general trends and luck. Being strong for a moment does not mean that you will be strong forever. The ranking list of Shanhe Void Realm does not look at temporary strength, but eternal talent and potential, which covers many aspects.
Therefore, every monk who participates in the battle for the Mountains and Rivers Void Realm has to start from scratch. From the initial cultivation, within three years, relying on part of his memory, talent, potential, etc., he will try his best to improve.
