If I upgrade, I can win prizes

Chapter 441 Update Content
Mingzun game has not been updated for a long, long time.

Li Xuanmiao remembered that the last update was when Emperor Feng was on the Northern Expedition. A mission to "unify the world" was updated, but the writing was not very clear.

Fortunately, by bravely killing the enemies, he managed to get some contribution points. When the tasks were settled after the war, he exchanged them for a cultivation method called "Yuan Ling Gong".

I have to say that the reward for this task is very good. The efficiency of cultivation is much better than that damn "Sutra of Original Vow and Merit". Relying on the spirit stones given by the daily good deeds task, Li Xuanmiao has already cultivated to the second level of Qi Refining. Now it costs almost nothing to use his supernatural powers.

According to those lucky ones who have sneaked into the spiritual realm, the spiritual energy in the spiritual realm is far more abundant than that in the outside world. Even without using spiritual stones, one can still practice intensively and mobilize the meridians throughout the body to absorb spiritual energy, which is much more efficient than absorbing spiritual stones.

It’s a pity that I heard that the court has gone through several rounds of negotiations on the opening of the spiritual realm, but there has been no result.

Even with the might of the Phoenix Emperor who unified the world, those aristocratic families and sects looked as if their lives were in jeopardy. At worst, they would quit their positions, but opening up the spiritual realm was absolutely unacceptable. Only a few small families with few populations offered up their spiritual realms.

Currently, only these small spiritual realms and the two large spiritual realms of the royal family in the north are open to the outside world on a limited basis, and not many people can enter to practice.

After more than a year of governance, the situation in Qinghe County has been back on track. The vast majority of people live and work in peace and contentment, and the population is slowly recovering. Li Xuanmiao has always felt that he is a machine for conveying orders, and even if a player were to be the county magistrate, he would be fully capable of doing the job.

Compared to being a county magistrate, he still likes cultivation more and wants to learn another useful magical power to upgrade the "Yuan Ling Gong" to the next level.

After hearing the updated news, Li Xuanmiao immediately stopped the meeting, waved away his subordinates, picked up his mobile phone and started looking through it.

The update announcement is the first item on the homepage of the Garrison Bureau APP, but it is not an official announcement, but more like an intelligence tracking post:

1. At 6:18 this morning, the Mingzun messenger appeared again, took the resurrection point from the Sharp Tooth Village, and disappeared again.

2. Due to the disappearance of the resurrection point and the change of the resurrection mechanism in the game, it has been confirmed that a player who was supposed to be resurrected at 6:35 was resurrected in a new map called "Xianlian Sect".

3. After subsequent resurrection, the players confirmed again that the concentration of spiritual energy in the map where the Xianlian Sect is located is extremely high, not inferior to that of a large spiritual realm. It is temporarily suspected that it is an unknown super-large spiritual realm.

4. The task panel for players who are resurrected to the Xianlian Sect has been updated, leaving only the daily merit tasks and a new [Join the Xianlian Sect] task.

5. It has been confirmed that there are specific NPCs in the Xianlian Sect map who will arrange and guide players to take the sect entry test. The test is extremely simple and you can join the sect as long as you have spiritual roots. However, different spiritual root levels will lead to different departments, and department-related content is still under testing.

6. It has been basically confirmed that the map area of ​​Xianlian Island is extremely large, and there is a protective barrier on the border, which makes it impossible to escape. Players cannot return to the original map temporarily after resurrection. Please be careful about death in the next game.

7. It has been confirmed that after joining the Xianlian Sect, relevant NPCs will teach new skills based on the player's spiritual root level and type. After testing, it has been determined that the practice efficiency is extremely high. How much higher it is than the "Yuanling Gong" is still under testing.

8. It has been confirmed that after joining the Xianlian Sect, different levels of dormitories will be provided as places for cultivation according to the different departments you are in. The concentration of spiritual energy is higher, and the specific concentration is still under testing.

9. The exploration of the new map is still in full swing. Please be cautious and follow the follow-up arrangements of the Garrison Bureau.

……

After reading all these things, Li Xuanmiao felt that his originally cold heart was warming up again.

New map! New skills! A place for cultivation with rich spiritual energy!
These are all what I want! I've gotten lice from living in this shitty Qinghe County!
Moreover, after reading these introductions, I feel that this Xianlian Sect map is more like a game: join a sect, learn skills, go down the mountain to fight monsters, go to dungeons, and fight bosses. This is a serious game!

It’s not like now, where we have nothing to do all day long, and no monsters to kill for a whole month or a whole year?

It's obviously a world with extraordinary powers, but I turned it into a casual business game! Although there is a sense of accomplishment, it's not fun at all, okay? I practice martial arts, Qi, and supernatural powers so hard every day, is it just to catch a few thieves, move stones, transport wood, and catch fish?

Of course not! It's for real fighting with monsters!
The experience of fighting a bloody battle with the barbarians outside the imperial capital is still deeply engraved in Li Xuanmiao's mind. The pain, the surge of adrenaline, the tumbling of blood and flesh, the collision of weapons, and the exhilaration of actual combat with magical powers make him feel a little overwhelmed when he thinks about it now.

That's what hardcore gamers like us should do!
The comments under the update announcement have already been flooded:
"Is this true? This Xianlian Sect sounds like a serious sect for cultivating immortals."

"What are the departments? Is it the same as in the novel, with menial disciples, outer disciples, and inner disciples?"

"I have inferior gold spiritual roots, and my cultivation efficiency is weak. Can I join?"

"When will the Garrison Bureau organize an exploration team? I have the power of invisibility, which makes me the best person to explore new maps."

"Damn it! You told me the game was updated right after I logged off? How do you expect me to make it to the evening?"

"Does this mean that if you die, you won't be able to come back? Then what will happen to my seven wives and thirteen children?"

"I'm going to kill myself and go to the new map right now! Even Judas can't stop me! That's what I said!"

"I think we should not rush and wait and see the situation first. Who knows what kind of sect they belong to? There is nothing wrong with cultivating in the spiritual realm."

"You have the spiritual realm, you are noble, you are great, I don't have the spiritual realm, I just want to commit suicide to go to the new map!"

"By the way, is this NPC the one who guides us? Is he a man or a woman? I want the greasy senior sister!"

"Hahaha, I have a top-grade spiritual root! I can definitely become an inner sect disciple!"

"I remember when the Mingzun envoy was testing, didn't he detect a player with earth-grade spiritual roots? Her name seemed to be Zixuan. If she entered the Xianlian Sect, wouldn't it be heavenly?"

"Don't panic, everyone. My resurrection cooldown is only three hours. I'll come back to the game and post a live broadcast."

"What a lousy Immortal Lotus Sect! Only a fool would want to go there. I just want to be with my husband for the rest of my life, and never be separated."

"Listen to my advice, there is no future in having children for NPCs. You are still a single dog in real life."

"No, didn't everyone find the key? If we can't come back, how can we get back the things we deposited in the Fang Village storage bank?"

"With an Immortal Sect waiting for you, why would you care about those junks? Why not just hand them over to the Garrison Bureau and exchange them for contributions?"

"I don't know who designed this game. They either don't update it, or when they do, it's so big. I don't know what the game planners were thinking."

……

Seeing this, Li Xuanmiao couldn't bear it anymore, ran out of the office and went straight to the superior office of the garrison bureau.
