When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 608 Buying a Flying Sword

"Forget it, forget it. After all, this is my first day in the sect, so I won't bother with you for now."

Chen Tingquan quickly calmed down.

Although the opponent is also a first-year disciple, it is obvious that there is a gap between first-year disciples. The gap may even be greater than the gap between first-year disciples and three-year disciples.

The opponent just picked up a magic weapon and killed him in seconds without even using any fists or feet.

But Chen Tingquan felt that he would possess magic spells and magic weapons sooner or later, and by then the gap between the two sides should be quickly narrowed.

"Let's finish today's daily routine first and see how the big map exploration works."

Large map exploration, the official name of the gameplay is "Sect Mission".

That is to say, the sect will issue some tasks every day and assign them to disciples to complete.

After completing these tasks, you can not only obtain basic Xiuxian loan reduction rewards, but if you are lucky, you can also, as Li Qiang said, obtain some rare treasures from the map and sell them to the sect to make a fortune.

There are many kinds of sect missions, and they change frequently.

There are relatively simple sect tasks here, such as mining, collecting herbs, clearing out bandits, and eliminating wild beasts that hurt people, etc. There are also extremely difficult sect tasks, such as hunting some powerful ancient beasts, or even directly hunting those nine dragons that can be used for alchemy.

There is also a warning message above: Sect missions are risky and you are responsible for your own profits and losses.

“You actually suggest that the disciples of the tenth year should be the ones to clear out the bandits?
“Hunting the Nine Dragons is only recommended for inner disciples or young masters.

"Wait, what are the ranks of inner disciples and young masters? After being a hundred-year disciple, they are promoted to inner disciples? And then, if inner disciples can establish their own sect, they become young masters?
“…How come it’s like a university, with young lecturers here?

"Then my disciples this year can only go to the big map to mine and collect herbs, and they can only mine low-level mines. They don't even recommend higher-level mines.

“I don’t care, let me first accept the mining mission recommended for the ten-year disciple.

“Mining doesn’t require killing monsters, and the rewards for the disciple-level quests over the past ten years are obviously much better.

"After completing this mission, you can directly obtain 300 low-grade spirit stones. If rare minerals appear during the process, the price can be calculated separately.

"Li Qiang didn't lie to me. After becoming an immortal cultivator, there are indeed many ways to make money."

After receiving the sect mission, Chen Tingquan opened the map and took a look at the target location.

"…This is a bit too far, how long will it take me to get there?
"How much time I have to spend on the journey will delay my cultivation progress? I might as well stay in the sect and continue my cultivation."

The large map exploration gameplay of this sect mission itself cannot actually enhance the player's training progress.

Unless players take on some high-level missions and hunt monsters, they can gain experience from battle.

If you are just mining, picking herbs or fighting some weak bandits, then you are just completing the task and making money.

If you are a kryptonian and have no shortage of money, you don't need to do these tasks at all, and just focus on practicing in the sect and improving your attributes. It's a good way to play until you have mastered your magic skills and then come out.

But Chen Tingquan is poor, and he still wants to make money.

Although the debt he was currently carrying was not enough to crush him, every time he took a pill he bought, it would be one less pill. Sooner or later, the debt would grow bigger, so he was eager to fill this hole as soon as possible, or reduce it as much as possible.

But transportation became a problem. He had no mount now and could only walk. It was obviously not cost-effective to travel in such an inefficient way, as it would seriously delay his cultivation progress.

"Oh right, flying sword!

“When the double-door master brought me to the mountain gate, didn’t he use a flying sword?

“Since there are tasks for first-year disciples in this sect, it means that first-year disciples can also have flying swords. This is not a function that only high-level players in the foundation-building or even Jindan stage can enjoy.

"Sure enough, there is a treasure house here. Let's go and take a look."

Chen Tingquan took a look at the sect map and found the treasure pavilion in the other direction of the alchemy room, which was the place where magic weapons were sold in the sect.

After talking to the senior brother guarding the gate, Chen Tingquan knew he had come to the right place.

Because the option to purchase a flying sword automatically appeared in the conversation.

"Junior brother, are you going to complete a sect mission? No problem, no problem. As a new disciple, you can enjoy a discount on your first flying sword.

"It's not much, just 98 middle-grade spirit stones. You won't suffer any loss or be cheated with this money."

Chen Tingquan couldn't help but look gloomy: "How much? 98 middle-grade spirit stones!"

He now only has more than 2000 low-grade spirit stones left on his body, which is only about 20 medium-grade spirit stones.

These 98 medium-grade spirit stones are equivalent to 98 yuan in real life.

This is a discounted price? It's dark, too dark!
The senior brother guarding the treasure pavilion was not surprised: "Junior brother, you have just joined the sect not long ago, right?

"In that case, I will show you a way." "In the past two years, there is no need to do the sect mission. Even if the mission is mining, it is still dangerous. If something unexpected happens, it will be a pure loss."

“Junior brother, you should first use the Nine Dragons Training Method to strengthen yourself. Once you are strong enough, it won’t be too late to complete the sect’s mission.

"Of course, if you insist on going, that's fine. If you don't have enough spirit stones to buy a flying sword, then you can borrow some. Who didn't borrow money to buy their first flying sword?

"98 pieces of middle-grade spirit stones. If Junior Brother is really lucky, it's nothing more than finding a rare spirit stone mine."

Chen Tingquan thought about it and said, "Okay, let's borrow it!"

At this point he only has two choices, either to borrow or to recharge.

It is possible to top up 98 yuan, but that is real money after all, it is better to use the loan in the game directly.

Anyway, I have already taken out the loan for cultivating immortality. Too many lice won’t itch, and too many debts won’t worry me.

If it was something else, Chen Tingquan might have hesitated. But the flying sword was an essential tool for transportation on the big map, a bit like the teleportation point function in other games. If he didn't buy it, he would have trouble moving forward in the future.

Having said that, this "Against the Gods" is really a scam. The teleportation points that are randomly opened in other games are packaged as flying swords here and sold to players for 98 yuan.

The basic functions have been broken down into in-game points, and they don’t care about their reputation anymore.

After signing the loan, Chen Tingquan had to pay another loan for his cultivation.

But the flying sword was obtained.

Chen Tingquan opened the prop bar and equipped the flying sword to the corresponding slot.

Flying swords are also considered as magic weapons, but they do not occupy the magic weapon slot, but have their own separate slot. At the same time, flying swords can also be used in battle to provide players with joint attacks or automatic attacks.

"Not bad. It's worth it if it can enhance combat power."

Chen Tingquan followed the game instructions and prepared to fly with his sword.

However, the next second, a prompt appeared on the screen: "Insufficient mana to drive the flying sword!"

Chen Tingquan was furious and immediately returned to the treasure pavilion: "This flying sword cannot be used!"

The senior brother from the treasure pavilion seemed to have seen that he was coming back, and said with a smile: "Hey, junior brother, why are you angry at me? There is nothing wrong with this flying sword. It can't be used because you don't have enough mana. You don't practice well in normal times, can you blame me for this?"

Chen Tingquan was stunned: "What should I do then?"

The senior brother from the Treasure Pavilion smiled and said, "It's easy. In fact, situations like yours are not uncommon. We have supporting services here that can help you quickly control the flying sword."

At this point, he lowered his voice and said, "Ten Sword-Spine Dragons and ten Yongquan Dragons. Eat them all, and you will be able to control the flying sword immediately."

Chen Tingquan's mouth twitched slightly: "So many?"

What he meant was that so many pills must be very expensive, but the senior brother from the Treasure Pavilion obviously misunderstood him and thought he was worried about the toxicity.

"Junior brother, are you worried that swallowing all these Nine Dragon Pills at once will be too toxic? It doesn't matter. Junior brother has just started cultivating immortals and his organs are very healthy. What's more, the Sword-Spine Dragon and Yongquan Dragon pills themselves are relatively less toxic.

"I'll give you two small longevity liver protection tablets as a gift, so there won't be any problem."

Chen Tingquan sighed silently. Wow, they are all drug dealers, right?

Look at this senior brother who is guarding the gate of the Treasure Pavilion. He also has strong muscles and must have consumed a lot of Nine Dragon Pills.

Since he already had a large number of Nine Dragon Pills on him, it would make sense for him to resell some of them.

I just don't know how many new disciples this guy has fleeced with the support of the Treasure Pavilion.

Chen Tingquan had no choice but to buy it.

At this point he already felt a little regretful, but the sunk cost of the flying sword had already been paid, so what else could he do if he didn't buy it?

If he didn't buy these pills, according to his natural progress of Qi training and meditation, he would probably have to wait another three to five days before he could truly control the flying sword.

Can this be tolerated?
Chen Tingquan couldn't wait, he wanted to experience flying with a sword right now.

After taking the pill, Chen Tingquan found a place and started meditating.

It's true that the effect of the Nine Dragon Pill is very good. Chen Tingquan took the newly bought Yongquan Dragon Pill and the Yongquan Dragon Pill in the previous discount gift package one after another. The growth rate of his mana can be described as rapid.

It increased more than ten times in a short period of time, and the efficiency is much faster than natural cultivation.

Combined with the Sword-Spine Dragon's improved control over sword intent, it has directly reached the threshold for controlling a flying sword.

"Okay, after all this trouble, I can finally go to the big map to mine and make money!"
