Chapter 261: Giant Trees Like Peaks
(The ending of the previous chapter was modified a bit, Qianlong Wuyong was kept, it didn’t feel right to leave a small account there.).

------

Xiao Jie was not surprised to see Qianlong Wuyong wanted to stay.

Magic professions are strategic resources, so they must be accompanied by bodyguards. If they die without anyone watching, it would be a huge loss.

"Then I wish you good luck. We will set off for Giant Wood City tomorrow. Let's say goodbye now."

"Wait a moment!"

Qianlong Wuyong said this, and suddenly clicked on the trading column towards Xiao Jie and placed three monster inner cores of different colors in it.

"Hey, what are you doing..."

“This is what the president asked me to pass on to you. I forgot about it before, but I suddenly remembered it just now.

Take it. Who knows how long it will take you to upgrade your Qi Refining Technique by yourself by collecting inner elixirs. Since we are brothers in the same guild, of course we have to support you.

But the president has said beforehand that if the paradise is not as good as you said, you will need to work for the guild to compensate for it."

"Hahaha, of course." Xiao Jie clicked on the transaction, and immediately three more monster inner cores were credited to his account.

One pig demon's inner elixir, one spider spirit's inner elixir, one python spirit's inner elixir, plus the catfish spirit's inner elixir, a total of four, which together can almost raise the Qi Refining Technique to the next level.

However, Xiao Jie did not dare to refine it immediately. The more advanced the Qi refining technique was, the more spiritual energy was needed, which meant the more demonic power he absorbed, and the more likely it was to mutate.

He has only absorbed 6,000 points and his body is already covered with hair and scales. If he were to level up two or three more times, he would definitely mutate into a monster.

Let's finish those three volumes of heavenly books first.

These real monsters can cultivate their character and behave like human beings after training. I am just affected by the residual thoughts of the monster spirits. I believe I can make a new start and not be affected anymore.

"This is the second wave. The guild may have more in the future, but we will have to collect them slowly."

"thanks."

"You're welcome. The president is always willing to invest in those who have their own value."

Xiao Jie thought that Qianlong Wuyong was indeed honest, but that was how the adult world was, an equal exchange.

After bidding farewell to Qianlong Wuyong, the three returned to the inn in Tianlang City, discussed their next itinerary, and then dispersed.

Wo Yuchengxian and Ye Luo were planning to stroll around the city, but Xiao Jie went straight to Linghu Ping's residence.

"General Linghu, how about we go to Giant Wood City tomorrow? I hope you can help introduce me to Master Xiaoyue."

Although he had the Kaiyang Golden Seal, it was not easy to meet Master Xiaoyue. He needed Linghu Ping to introduce him.

Linghu Ping said helplessly: "I'm afraid I can't agree to this. I just received information that another village in the north was massacred. Those monsters are very arrogant. I must lead people to hunt them down. Otherwise, if this continues, all the villages in the north will be massacred.

As the governor of Canglin Prefecture, I have the duty to protect the territory and the people. Now that monsters are wreaking havoc and bandits are rampant, I really can’t get away.”

Xiao Jie was speechless, thinking that you just agreed to it this morning. Suddenly, a question arose in his mind.

"Why are these monsters so arrogant? Haven't they practiced the three volumes of the Heavenly Book?"

Linghu Ping sighed, "They have practiced it, but they think the things in the heavenly book are bullshit. They think monsters are monsters, and the law of the jungle and eating raw meat and drinking blood are the right way for monsters. Eating humans is just as it should be.

Under the leadership of Master Xiaoyue, we built cities and villages, but those monsters were only willing to stay in the wilderness and were wild and difficult to tame. We were kind to others and exchanged what we had with other states, but those monsters ate people and robbed people, committing many evil deeds. Alas, they are a disaster for our Canglin State. "

Having said that, the subject suddenly changed.

"But don't worry, brother. I have already written a letter. It contains both the introduction for you and the report about the trouble caused by those monsters. Since you are going to Giant Wood City, you can just help me deliver the letter. You can also meet Master Xiaoyue by the way. It's the best of both worlds."

Xiao Jie thought, okay, I'll just take this kind of errand task. It's just something that comes along with the way.

"So be it."

"Thank you for your understanding, brother."

[System prompt: Linghu Ping has given you [Linghu Ping's Letter of Introduction (mission item). You have accepted the mission assigned to you by Linghu Ping.

Mission content: Deliver a letter to Master Xiaoyue in Giant Wood City.

Mission Reward: Canglin State Reputation +100. 】

Xiao Jie glanced at the letter and nodded.

"In that case, I'll take my leave."

Early the next morning, the three of them went online early.

After the reunion, they set off for Giant Wood City.

The distance from Sirius City to Giant Wood City is roughly the same as the distance from Luoyang Town to Xiaofeng City. If you walk in a straight line, you can get there in more than an hour.

However, the three of them were unfamiliar with the area, and even though they had a map for reference, they walked very carefully, so they naturally traveled a lot slower.

It is better to follow the main road. This Canglin Province is worthy of its name "Canglin". There are towering ancient trees, dense forests, and gloomy jungles everywhere.

Even the sides of the avenue were covered by tall trees, making it difficult for sunlight to reach the ground.

The roads are often obscured by weeds and vines, and visibility is very poor. You need to be extra careful when moving around, as you might be startled by a monster that suddenly appears from the woods on the side of the road.

Only in some relatively open areas are there small villages and towns.

These villages and towns seem out of place with the surrounding scenery which seems like a primitive forest.

Naturally, they encountered a lot of monsters along the way, and the three of them were not idle either. It was just something that happened along the way, so they just took the opportunity to train the monsters of low levels.

The monsters on the roadside are mostly various goblins and monsters.

It can be seen that not every monster recognizes the things in these three volumes of heavenly books. The monsters encountered along the way stayed away from the "people" in the villages and towns.

These monsters and beasts not only attacked players like Xiao Jie, but also spared those "monsters".

Xiao Jie and his companions had seen the bodies of "monsters" dead on the roadside more than once. Often, they were eaten until only bones were left. After seeing this scene so many times, Xiao Jie gradually realized that Canglin Province was not a good place. The level of public security here was not much better than Fengyin Province.

Ye Luo made full use of everything. Every time he encountered someone, he would dismount and dig a hole to bury the person, which earned him a lot of merit.

Most monsters and monsters are relatively easy to fight. After all, they are just small monsters on the roadside, and most of them appear alone. Although monsters are physically strong, their fighting style is not much different from that of ordinary wild beasts.

It’s just that some monsters with special skills are more difficult to deal with. The spider monster can spit poison and spray webs, the porcupine monster can shoot sharp arrows and thorns, the earthworm monster will launch a surprise attack from underground, and can also use mud magic to slow down the three people.

Fortunately, the three of them were very powerful, well-equipped, and had sufficient supplies. Most importantly, they had many skills to clear the situation, and they had been walking on the main road, so they were able to escape without any danger.

Ye Luo's ability is surprisingly useful in this forest. As long as he is in darkness and shadows, he can start dark walking and sneak around. However, the ghost servant cannot directly show up and fight during the day. He can only assist in casting some ghost spells to weaken the enemy.

I want to become an immortal with a magical aura that subdues demons, and I am even more vigorous. I am a natural enemy against these demons and monsters. Xiao Jie had already obtained the Kaiyang Golden Seal, and all four basic attributes were increased by 10, and his combat power was greatly increased. 40 attribute points were equivalent to the attribute points of level 8. Xiao Jie now directly had the data of a level 28 character.

No - it was level 29. After walking for less than an hour, the three of them had each reached a higher level.

After killing a pig demon, Xiao Jie actually got a degraded inner elixir.

Although this degraded inner elixir does not have much spiritual energy, a mosquito is still meat, so it can be considered a gain.

However, not every monster they encountered could be easily dealt with. At ten-fifteen, the three of them encountered a guy they could not afford to offend.

A strange giant beast that had never been seen before was crawling on the edge of a lake on the side of the road. It looked like a lion and an old cow.

Green Scaled Hound (Ancient Beast): Level 40 Elite. HP 3000.

The three of them saw it from afar and did not dare to provoke it. However, the range of this monster was surprisingly large, and it actually came straight towards the three of them.

"Fuck, retreat quickly, retreat, retreat!"

Looking at the giant beast that was three or four meters tall, seven or eight meters long, and roaring towards him, Xiao Jie decisively gave in.

Not only does this thing have a lot of health, but judging by its body, its defense is probably top-notch as well. Especially its huge size. It rushes towards him head-on like a tank, making Xiao Jie have no desire to engage in close combat at all.

The three of them immediately sped up and fled quickly.

Roar!
A deafening roar came from behind, and the sound waves from the monster's roar turned into a visible sound wave, blasting over from afar.

The three of them dodged in a hurry, but the sound wave spread further and further, and they were still hit directly. Fortunately, as the distance spread, the power of the sound wave seemed to decrease, and they only lost a little blood and were almost knocked off their horses, but other than that the damage was not great.

The three of them hurriedly accelerated again and finally managed to escape the crisis.

After running for quite a distance, the three finally stopped.

Xiao Jie turned around and took a look. Fortunately, the thing didn't seem to be a predator and didn't catch up with him.

"Let's hurry up and get to Giant Wood City first. There will be plenty of opportunities to level up in the future." Xiao Jie said with lingering fear.

Ye Luo also strongly agreed with my wish to become an immortal and immediately quickened his pace.

The three of them hurried on their way while continuing to discuss how to improve their strength.

"Brother Feng, Sister Ye Luo, how do you think I can improve now?"

Ye Luo said, "I think you have basically no shortcomings now. If there is anything you are lacking, it's just one secret."

This is indeed a problem. Without the ultimate skill, there is no powerful comeback skill. Now I, Yu Chengxian, rely on a set of top-grade equipment and professional ability characteristics to hold the scene. I am tanky enough and the damage is good, but I lack the ultimate move that can make the final decision, so I can only play a supporting role.

It would be different if you had the secret skill, and with the magic of subduing demons, you could definitely be the main force against demons and monsters.

"Indeed, I'll arrange it for you later. I'll help you raise your comprehension to 20 first."

Xiao Jie said, and traded the old man's crown directly to him, "Take this thing first. I know a place to farm fruits that increase enlightenment. I'll get one for you then."

There should still be a few red spirit fruits in the Monkey Valley. Xiao Jie didn't have the nerve to pick them all at first, but now that the white ape is gone, he naturally has no concerns about this.

And after such a long time, maybe new ones will grow. When the time comes, I can pick them all.

Unfortunately, each person can only eat this red spirit fruit once, so it still depends on Taoist scriptures and equipment.

"How much understanding do you have now?"

I want to become an immortal: "Including your old man's bamboo hat - 15 points."

"Hey, it's not low."

"When I was in Xuanxu Palace, I studied several Taoist scriptures and gained some points." I said modestly.

This is another benefit of joining a sect. You can get a lot of knowledge and skills, or Taoist scriptures for free.

"That's not bad. If you count the Red Spirit Fruit, it's 16 points. If you take a Dihu Pill, it's 19 points. In other words, just one more Taoist book will do."

Of course, you can also buy the Tongming Lingbao Pill that gives you 5 points of enlightenment, but that thing costs 15 taels of silver per pill and is only effective for one hour, so it's really not worth it.

In the long run, it is more cost-effective to improve your own understanding.

Ye Luo said, "Give me one of your red spirit fruits as well."

Xiao Jie asked curiously, "Isn't your comprehension level 20?"

"Yes, but I'm working on reaching level 30."

Xiao Jie thought that his ambition was quite big, but if possible, 30 comprehension would naturally be better than 20 comprehension. 20 comprehension could only comprehend the outer mystery, while 30 comprehension could comprehend the inner mystery.

Moreover, there is a higher chance of gaining enlightenment from daily life, which Xiao Jie has been looking forward to for a long time.

His professional talent does have the potential to reach level 30 in comprehension. Not only does Qi Refining increase comprehension, but grandmaster-level skills also increase comprehension. However, these grandmaster-level skills are not so easy to practice. So far, only one of chopping wood, one of cooking, and one of swordsmanship have reached the master level. One more level up will bring him to the grandmaster level.

I will have to give it a good try when I have time in the future. If these three skills are full, you will have 3 points of understanding. When you have time in the future, you can practice other skills. 30 points of understanding is a matter of time.

By noon, the three finally arrived at Giant Wood City.

"Brother Feng, look!" I suddenly shouted as I was about to become an immortal.

Xiao Jie looked into the distance and saw a towering tree several hundred meters high in the distant forest, rising into the sky.

You can even see some light clouds surrounding the treetops, and many huge birds flying in groups among the branches.

"Damn, it's so tall!" Xiao Jie was also stunned when he saw the giant tree in the distance.

Such a magnificent scene can only be seen in the game.

The giant tree was not straight, but meandered upward with many branches. There were pavilions and towers on the branches, connected by ladders and corridors, like a palace complex built on the giant tree.

And under the giant trees, there are tree houses lined up one after another.

Giant Wood City——I see.

At this moment, a group of giant birds suddenly swooped down from the sky and flew over his head. Xiao Jie watched the giant birds flying by, his heart pounding. Fortunately, it was Lu Ming - they should be the city guards of Giant Wood City.

Fortunately, fortunately, if this was a monster... I wouldn't be able to run away.

The more he saw, the more Xiao Jie felt that although he had extraordinary sword skills, he was far from being able to play the game with ease.

He became more eager to practice the three volumes of the heavenly book and then rush into the Qi-refining technique.

After entering the city gate, the three of them went straight to the giant tree, which was the palace of Master Xiaoyue.
