CHAPTER 195: CHAPTER 190: WHAT THE HELL, THAT WORKS? (SEEKING MONTHLY PASS) _2

Indeed, upon seeing Xu Nian’s refusal, Liu Ruyan remained indifferent.

"Sect Leader Xu, I wonder if you would allow your disciples to be cultivated under our Celestial Splendor Sect?" Liu Ruyan thought of the three disciples she had seen with special constitutions. "Rest assured, the Celestial Splendor Sect treats everyone equally and will never mistreat your disciples."

"No need!" Xu Nian shook his head. "I will cultivate them myself. Perhaps one day, your Celestial Splendor Sect will hear of the great name of the Profound Yellow Sect. My disciples will also make a name for themselves in the Cultivation Realm!"

To Liu Ruyan, these words seemed no different from a fool’s daydream. A Sect led by a mere Qi Cultivation Realm Sect Leader, comparing itself to their Celestial Splendor Sect? Ridiculous! Forcing their hand might provoke discontent among those disciples. It would be tantamount to planting a seed of trouble for the future. She would discuss it with the Sect Elders once she returned; coming here again wasn’t difficult.

"Since that’s the case, let it be." Liu Ruyan turned back. "Get ready and follow me to Little Sage Manor; we’ll leave once everyone is gathered."

She was still very curious about this world. If they could find more talented disciples to bring back, wouldn’t it be a significant achievement? The Celestial Splendor Sect urgently needs disciples with such Talent!

At that moment, Xu Nian also received a System Reminder. The Players had completed the Task of exterminating 1,000 Demonic Beasts! Including the previous Task of 100 Demonic Beasts, the Players had completed two Tasks in one breath, and he was eligible for two Rewards.

"I have to attend to other matters at the Profound Yellow Sect, so I bid you farewell." With that, he swiftly walked towards the nearby Teleportation Array.

It was then that Liu Ruyan noticed the existence of the Teleportation Array.

"Eh?" she exclaimed in surprise. "Is there another Teleportation Array here? Was it left by some Array Master?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Qingquan shook his head. "It was set up by the Xuanhuang Sect Leader. His Profound Yellow Sect is thousands of miles away, and he connected it using this Array to the Celestial One Daoist Sect."

Seeing Liu Ruyan’s reaction, it seemed the Teleportation Array was no trivial matter.

"Fairy, do you know the origins of this Teleportation Array?" Zhao Qixian asked in confusion.

Liu Ruyan nodded and explained, "Teleportation Arrays are among the most special and material-consuming Arrays. Only an Array Master could set one up. I underestimated him; despite his mere Qi Cultivation Realm, Xu Nian has such a Talent for Arrays, achieving the level of an Array Master at such a young age!"

Though she remained calm on the surface, her heart was already tumultuous. Array Master! Even their Celestial Splendor Sect didn’t have one. Their strongest Array Elder was merely an Array Expert, far from the Grandmaster level. Not to mention setting up a Teleportation Array. It suggested that Xu Nian must have guidance from a superior Array expert; otherwise, he wouldn’t have achieved such status at his age. This person must be befriended! It was fortunate she had abandoned the idea of aggression earlier; offending an Array Master would have been a huge problem for the Celestial Splendor Sect!

As the Players saw the Task completed and no more Tasks forthcoming, they started to commit suicide one after another to return Inside the Profound Yellow Sect.

Upon returning, Xu Nian immediately had the System cancel the Teleportation Array.

This was a big problem! What if outsiders discovered and used it to launch an attack? Players weren’t afraid of death, but he only had one life. Now that the outside world was aware of the existence of the Great Qian Dynasty, it was better to be cautious going forward. Play it safe. He would stay within the Sect and let the Players handle any necessary Tasks. Only when his Realm reached an invincible level would he consider venturing out again.

Time to receive Rewards!

[Host Task Completed; Reward Assessment: Grade A!]

[Reward: Advancement to the peak of Foundation Establishment Realm; a lottery event is initiated, exclusive to Players.]

HISS—

A lottery event? This must be the first event concocted by the System, right? Indeed! After all, for the Players, the game had progressed to its third version, and not creating some events would indeed be somewhat unreasonable.

The Players also received their System Rewards. This trip outside directly earned them 2,000 Contribution Points, which for Third Test Players was simply a huge profit.

"Hahaha, 2,000 Contribution Points in hand, I’m finally not a pauper anymore!"

"100 Contribution Points for the ’Pants-off Martial Arts Manual’! Can any First Test Lord get in touch?"

"Hold on, look at the entrance of the Contribution Hall, there seems to be a big wheel!"

"Looks like a lottery event. Has this crappy game finally started making money?"

"This game doesn’t even have a Recharge channel, how can it make money? Can you use your brain before you speak?"

"..."

The Players crowded around, each studying the wheel.

A lottery! For something so full of chance, it’s definitely something for the European Emperor.

Abbess, Don’t Love Me logged off right after returning, saying his wife had gone back to her parents’ house and he needed to pick up his daughter from school.

Everyone else’s luck was just the worst! How about understanding the Martial Arts integration on the Martial Arts Stage? So far, aside from the Abbess, not a single person had succeeded! It was utterly ridiculous!

"Wait a second, there’s something fishy about this wheel!" Hero Xu Xian said, eyeing the categories on the wheel, "It seems like this wheel is all good stuff. The worst are just Herbal Seeds, Spiritual Wood Seeds, and Spiritual Stones!"

"Holy crap, there are even Rewards that directly upgrade your Realm?"

"Quick, look at the one with the smallest probability! It’s actually an Immortal Artifact Reward! Wouldn’t getting that make you soar?"

"It seems there’s a limit though. Can each Player only draw once?"

"Move aside, move aside! I’m going for a one-shot win! That Immortal Artifact is definitely mine!"

"..."

Seeing this event wasn’t a rip-off, the Players all got excited. Rolling up their sleeves, they started the lottery.

Nearly all Qi Cultivation Realm Players came to draw; even if it was just once, they wouldn’t miss it. The lottery required 100 Contribution Points. For the current Players, that was completely trivial.

Up the stakes! Make it 1,000 Contribution Points! Otherwise, if outsiders found out, they might think we can’t afford to play!

Players gathered together to draw. Regardless of what they got, they immediately started showing off, their demeanor making it clear they wanted everyone to know they’d received something good.

"Hahahaha, I got a Storage Ring! Finally, I don’t have to carry the Big Black Pot everywhere!" Little Boss looked at the Storage Ring in his hand and immediately chose to bind it with his blood.

Such good stuff must be kept secure. Players can be sketchy; who knows, they might just steal it.

Players who got Spirit Medicine Seeds or Spiritual Stones couldn’t help but feel jealous.

Storage Rings were considered good items on this wheel. This game had no inventory system; they had to carry a lot of stuff when going out. Wouldn’t a Storage Ring save a lot of trouble?

"What the hell, is this even possible?" Half-Leaf suddenly shouted, looking curiously at the middle-aged man beside him. "Dad, you don’t have some European Emperor Talent too, do you?"

The middle-aged man, sporting the ID "Half-Leaf’s Dad," grinned with pride.

Realm upgrade! This was a direct upgrade of a significant Realm. Under a sweeping surge of Spiritual Qi, Half-Leaf’s Dad smoothly became a Foundation Establishment Stage Player. He was also the only Foundation Establishment Stage Player among the Players at this stage.

"Kid, during the newbie trial, you pinned me to the ground and pounded me, right?" Half-Leaf’s Dad rolled up his sleeves, grinning. "Come on, let’s take a stroll to the Back Mountain, and I’ll test what abilities the Foundation Establishment Realm has!"

Hearing this, many people laughed. But most of the Players were incredibly envious.

That kind of luck was just incomparable. However, the strongest Immortal Artifact might need the Abbess to draw for it; others probably had no hope.

Flourishing Flowers and their group also tried their luck, but they only got Spiritual Stones or Spirit Medicine Seeds.

Trash!

Among the Third Test Players, there were a few lucky ones who also got Storage Rings. The most surprising was Dung Beetle, who directly drew one of the best items, second only to a Realm upgrade...
