Chapter 176: Peerless Divine Skill, Immortal Fate 1
Chapter 176: Peerless Divine Skill, a Finite Opportunity for Immortality
The white ape's swordsmanship is indeed a peerless skill!
Xiao Jie couldn't help but feel ecstatic. He was finally going to soar into the sky.
The martial arts in this game are divided into five levels.
Elementary martial arts, intermediate martial arts, advanced martial arts, rare and extraordinary martial arts, and peerless magical skills.
The Kuangfeng Sword Technique is just an intermediate-level martial art.
There has never been a single peerless magical skill in the entire auction house, but a rare and extraordinary skill, no matter how rotten it is, can be sold for thousands of taels of silver.
The value of this peerless magical skill is self-evident.
As long as you learn it and gain some insight into the secret, killing people of higher levels won't be a difficult task.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jie accepted the task without saying a word.
"Senior Yuan, I'll take care of this matter. I will definitely help you get to the bottom of it."
After receiving the mission, he did not set off immediately. After all, it was a death game and one mistake could result in a car accident. He had to understand the dangers clearly.
Especially since the white ape said that we can’t stay in the fog for too long, it’s a problem no matter how you look at it.
"Senior Yuan, why don't you go and ask in person?" Xiao Jie couldn't help but ask.
The white ape sighed, "Do you think I don't want to? But those two said that our fate has ended and we can't meet again. I have tried several times, but each time I couldn't get through the fog and reach the mountain. I could only wander in the fog. Now I can only rely on you."
Xiao Jie asked, "Is there any danger in the fog?"
"It's extremely dangerous for me, but it's not that bad for you. Just remember to ignore the things in the fog and don't stay in the fog for too long. Just keep moving forward and you'll be safe."
Seeing that the white ape spoke so decisively, Xiao Jie felt relieved. Although NPCs could lie, he felt that this white ape was an honest monkey and would not lie.
"Don't worry, Senior Ape. You wait here. I'll be leaving soon!"
After saying that, he ate a piece of barbecue to restore his strength and satiety. When he was ready, he suddenly rushed into the fog in front.
After entering the fog, Xiao Jie directly activated the galloping skill and ran wildly in the fog. It was strange that although he was on the top of the mountain, the ground under his feet was flat and the ground under his feet was surprisingly open. He ran for several minutes but still hadn't run out of the fog.
Xiao Jie's mind was clear as a mirror. Since it was an adventure, there must be some magical elements involved. He was afraid that he had entered some special realm.
A prompt suddenly flashed on the screen.
[System prompt: You have entered the special map 'Wang Liuchuan'. ]
Wang Rukawa? It sounded bad, Xiao Jie didn't dare to be careless, he continued to run while observing the surroundings vigilantly.
Fortunately, the direction indication function of the minimap is still there, so just keep running south.
As he was running, a figure suddenly appeared in the fog in front. It was a middle-aged man dressed as a swordsman, with a long sword on his back and a confused look on his face. When he saw Xiao Jie, he hurried over to him.
The Forgotten Swordsman: "My dear, where is this place? Can you help me find the way?"
Xiao Jie did not dare to stop for a moment, as he remembered the white ape's words, which told him not to pay attention to those "things" in the mist. This showed that the person in front of him might not be a normal human being.
He went around and continued running. After a while, another figure appeared in the fog. This time it was a beautiful woman in palace dress. She looked weak and sad.
What's even more bizarre is that this girl's body is translucent and you can almost see through it at a glance.
Seeing Xiao Jie, he hurriedly stopped him.
The Forgotten Girl: "Please stay, brave man. I got lost here accidentally. Please help me get out. I will reward you generously later."
Xiao Jie didn't dare to stop and continued to run wildly.
The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and I could only see a few meters around me.
Suddenly, another figure came into view. He was wearing black leather armor, carrying two swords on his back, with a frightened look on his face. When he saw Xiao Jie, he shouted quickly.
The forgotten returnee: "Damn it, brother, I finally saw a living person, hurry up, take me out!"
Returnees? Damn, there are still players?
No, maybe it's a dummy generated by the system... used to confuse myself.
But no matter whether he was a player or not, Xiao Jie did not dare to hesitate at all. He accelerated again, and the forgotten returnee actually caught up with him.
"Don't run, brother. Take me with you... Take me with you..."
Xiao Jie started flying on the grass, but the other party also sped up, shouting unclearly while running, "Take me... take me... take me... away..." The voice was erratic and intermittent as if the signal was bad.
The figure flashed in the mist and followed as if in a frame, just like in a horror movie.
Xiao Jie was so scared that he jumped into the air.
Flying clouds chasing the moon! Three consecutive leaps, flying and jumping towards the east in the clouds in the sky, and when they landed on the ground, they finally disappeared from the opponent's figure.
Xiao Jie was shocked and confused, thinking what the hell were these things?
It's not a good place to stay for long. He accelerated again.
After running for another ten minutes, the fog in front of me finally dissipated.
System prompt: You have left Wangliuchuan.
Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief. When he was completely out of the fog, a mountain appeared in front of him. It was surrounded by clouds and mist. The mountain was covered with exotic flowers and plants. Colorful flowers bloomed in the clouds, making the surroundings look like a fairyland.
And in the fog behind you, you can vaguely see a path leading down the mountain.
A stone path winds its way up the hillside to the top of the mountain, where there is indeed an octagonal pavilion with an ancient charm.
Xiao Jie walked up the mountain path carefully, and saw two people playing chess in the pavilion below.
I saw a man on the left wearing a white robe, with an elegant and ethereal demeanor of an immortal, and a handsome face - Tianxuan Zhenren (a hidden immortal), level 72. Health value: ???
The person on the right is wearing a black robe with dark gold patterns of stars and constellations on it, with a dignified face - Kaiyang Star Lord (a hidden immortal), level 69. HP: ???
The two men seemed to be completely focused on the chess game and did not notice Xiao Jie approaching at all. Xiao Jie did not dare to make a sound and stood aside to observe carefully.
The chessboard was complicated and it was obvious that it had reached the middle stage. Xiao Jie's Go skills were only at the beginner's level and it was impossible to tell who was better.
There was indeed a tray on the low table next to him, on which were placed a few leftover fruits, a half-pot of residual wine, and two white jade wine glasses. Without saying a word, Xiao Jie put the food he had prepared in his bag on the tray, including some fruits of various colors and two bottles of monkey wine.
The black-robed immortal seemed to be in trouble. He reached to the side and a fruit flew over. Without even looking up, the immortal picked it up and ate it.
When the white-robed immortal saw this, he smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and a bottle of monkey wine fell into his hand. He picked it up and drank it.
The two of them took one step at a time and took a sip at a time. Soon, they had almost finished the monkey wine.
However, the game is not over yet.
Xiao Jie thought, what should I do? Just keep putting it there. There aren't many fruits, but there is plenty of food in his bag, and there are still several bottles of monkey wine.
Xiao Jie put the wine on the table, thought for a while, and then put the barbecue, roast chicken, garden pancakes and glutinous rice cakes on the table one by one.
These two immortals were real foodies, and they seemed to have no concept of being full at all. They just took things at random, and in the blink of an eye, they had almost finished the food on the low table.
Fortunately, Xiao Jie had enough stock. After drinking all the monkey wine, he still had two bottles of Du Kang wine.
When the barbecue was finished, steamed buns were served, and finally even the secret dog food was put on top.
By the time he had eaten most of the food in his bag, the game of chess had finally come to an end.
"Hahaha, Xingjun, I'm glad to give in."
"Humph, why are you giving in? I haven't been able to beat you in hundreds of years, and you're still giving in? You won't even let me win a game. If this goes on, one day I won't be bothered to leave this place with you. Then let's see what you'll do?"
"Hahaha, why are you so angry, Star Lord? This place has beautiful scenery and is a great place to hide away. Where else can you go? Are you going to join those dejected guys in Lonely Cloud Continent?"
"But it may not be impossible... Hey, who are you?"
The two immortals finally noticed Xiao Jie who was watching on the side, and looked at him in surprise.
Xiao Jie hurriedly used the action - kneeling.
I was completely impressed.
"My two immortals, my name is Yin Yue Sui Feng. I have come here at the risk of my life to ask for a favor. I would like to ask for your help. This matter is of great importance. Please forgive me if I have offended you."
He stopped pretending now. The immortal was not a fool. He must have something to ask for by coming here with food and drinks so casually to join in the fun.
Just ask directly.
The two immortals also looked helpless.
The black-robed immortal said angrily, "You are such an ignorant person. You broke into here for no reason and came to ask us for help? How can this be justified in the world? How did you make that meatball just now? Bring me two more to eat."
The white-robed immortal smiled and said, "Forget it. Since we have eaten your wine and meat, we will bear your karma. Just tell us what happened. If we can help you, we will help you. But let me make it clear first. We have retired here because we don't want to be contaminated by the evils of the mortal world. It is impossible for us to help you personally. At most, we can give you some guidance on the road."
As soon as the immortal in white finished speaking, a dialog box popped up in front of Xiao Jie.
Option 1: Thank you, Immortal. I do have a question to ask.
Option 2: Thank you, Immortal. Actually, a white ape asked me to help him ask a question (task).
Xiao Jie was slightly stunned. Hmm? You can even ask questions yourself!
Yes, the degree of freedom of this game is so high that you can naturally operate it.
Just like when you helped the big ape pick the red fruit, you chose to give up the task reward and keep the red fruit for yourself. It was also a choice.
The situation he is facing now is similar. He can either help the white ape ask questions and exchange the questions for a peerless swordsmanship.
Or you can ask the questions you want to ask yourself. Although you won’t get any rewards, you can get guidance from the immortals. This is something that not everyone can encounter.
Immortals must know a lot of hidden information that mortals don’t know, such as how to become an immortal!
I'm afraid only immortals can know about this kind of thing.
But Xiao Jie did not dare to make a rash decision. Becoming an immortal is not that easy. If he messed up, it would be a waste of time.
The possibility of becoming an immortal is not very high, but the white ape's peerless martial arts can be obtained in nine out of ten cases.
How to choose between the two...
Xiao Jie was conflicted and read the introduction of the adventure mission again.
[Mission objective: Help White Ape Sword Saint resolve his doubts.]
Looking at the introduction of the task, Xiao Jie's heart suddenly moved. The task only required to help the white ape resolve the doubts in his heart, but did not say that he must get the answer from the immortal. If he could help him resolve the doubts, wouldn't he be able to get two waves of rewards?
The white ape's current situation is probably a problem of identity.
It has lived with humans since it was young and is accustomed to human wisdom, but it itself is a monkey and cannot find a sense of belonging in human society.
As for the monkeys, although he is a monkey, he is far superior to ordinary monkeys in terms of intelligence. This makes him despise those monkeys for being too stupid, and therefore he cannot get a sense of belonging in the monkey society.
This resulted in it being caught between two odds, and even though it became the King of Monkey Valley, it didn't feel very happy.
This is not difficult to understand. If I were the monkey king in a zoo in real life, I would not be happy.
So how can we make the white ape feel a sense of belonging?
Xiao Jie thought about it for a while, and then his eyes lit up. He actually thought of a solution.
Haha, I am such a genius. If I do this, I guarantee that the white ape will be satisfied.
That’s fine, but you can use this question for yourself.
Decisively chose option 1.
"Thank you, Immortal. I do have a question I want to ask."
"please say."
Then no dialog box appeared again. Obviously this problem can be solved by yourself, so there is no need to worry about it.
"I want to know how to become an immortal! Please show me a way."
