This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 209 Battle for Rare and Precious Treasures! Equipment Attribute Addition Stones!
Cross-regional + rare and precious materials.

Just those two factors made Jiang Liu's heart pound more than a dozen times.

Cross-regional events are here!

He was just thinking of using the Immortal Alliance's law enforcement authority to attack players in the Gengjin Divine Continent's third district, but before he could even set off, the cross-region event came first.

And coincidentally, it was during this cross-server event that the group of veteran players from the third server were attacked!
If they don't submit by force, then use law enforcement power to intervene!
They're just a bunch of weak, level-up-obsessed Fallen Demon players; he doesn't need to worry about them too much.

A Golden Core cultivator can't defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator?
What's the point of cultivating immortality then?

His target is the veteran players in Zones 2 and 1; he doesn't have time to get entangled with the players in Zone 3 for too long.

The cross-regional event revitalized Jiang Liu's spirit, which had been quiet from his daily blacksmithing work, and the rare and precious materials featured in the event further invigorated him.

Unlock the encyclopedia, increase attributes, and obtain immortal artifacts!
In this event, I will once again stand out from the crowd and claim all the rewards!

Jiang Liu completely ignored the word 'free' on the event page and eagerly clicked to view the event details.

[Battle for Rare and Precious Treasures]

[Event Introduction: Whenever the spiritual energy reserves in the cultivation world reach a certain limit, the world's self-regulating mechanism will be triggered, condensing the overflowing spiritual energy into numerous rare and precious materials, which will then descend upon a certain location in the world; this is the cultivation world's way of giving back to the continuous life of all beings, and also a celebration for cultivators.]

[Event Details: Cultivators from Zones 3 and 4 will travel to the Immortal Spirit Sea, the location of this year's rare and precious treasures, to compete with the sea demons for these treasures.]

[Event Duration: This event will be divided into three phases, lasting a total of 15 days.]

[Event Rewards (All Servers): The side that collects more rare and precious materials during this event will receive a large number of Equipment Attribute Enhancement Stones (which can randomly add a fixed attribute to equipment), while the side that collects fewer rare and precious materials will only receive a small number of Equipment Attribute Enhancement Stones.]

[Event Rewards (Individual): Rare and precious materials obtained during the event.]

[Special Reward: The individual player who collects the most rare and precious materials will receive a mysterious reward (a high-grade spirit-level item). Stay tuned.]

[Note: In this event, all rare and precious materials will be provided free of charge. We remain true to our original aspiration and are committed to creating a large-scale event that all players can enjoy.]

[A word from the planner: We're not making money. We really aren't making any money this time.]

Jiang Liu's gaze slowly moved down, from top to bottom, until he saw the last sentence, at which point a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Not making money?
Real or fake?

Then I won't spend any money this time.

The entire event details are concise, clear, and easy to understand.

First of all, the map for this event is the Fairy Spirit Sea, which is a sea map.

Secondly, in addition to the players from Zone 3, the enemy also has monsters, and they are even sea monsters. I just don't know if there are any mermaids.

The theme of this event is to fight players in the third region, battle sea monsters, and seize rare and precious materials.

As always, it consists of three phases, lasting for a total of 15 days, which shows that it is a large-scale event.

There's not much to say about the event introduction and content; you'll only know how to play once the phase begins.

The activity sounds pretty good from the description, but...
When Jiang Liu saw the event rewards, he was a little stunned.

A server-wide reward: Equipment stat-enhancing stones!

It's here! It's here! It's here!
The nightmare for all unlucky players has arrived!

See what the parentheses after this item say: It randomly adds a fixed attribute.

random!

Add defense attributes to weapons and mana attributes to armor!
As for top-tier stats like critical hit, critical damage, luck, and attack speed, don't even think about it; unlucky players simply can't afford them!

"Holy crap, a cultivation game actually has this kind of item? You're having a good time sewing it up, aren't you?"

Jiang Liu was completely stunned, staring speechlessly at the event rewards, feeling both helpless and amused.

If it weren't for the word "random," he might have been very happy, as it would have been a perfect opportunity to add a top-tier attribute to the Azure Blood Hundred Slaughter Sword that he was about to acquire.

But if there's a random element involved, then he can only do his best to get the winning reward and then work hard to get a top-tier attribute!

Dude, I can tolerate the item that adds equipment stats.

But can you tell me?

The added terms should be fixed, right? There shouldn't be any percentages, right? There shouldn't be a difference between 1% and 10%, right?

There shouldn't be any items that can reset character attributes, right?

Smile, smile, smile.

While the rewards for the entire region are staggering, the special rewards are incredibly enticing.

Mysterious reward: a top-grade spirit-level item!
He only has one low-grade spiritual weapon, but he's about to get two high-grade spiritual weapons!

Well, how should I put it? I can only thank the planner for their favoritism.

Jiang Liu sighed inwardly. The only regret was that his Azure Blood Hundred Slaughter Sword wouldn't be able to make it into this event. Otherwise, it would have been so exhilarating to wield a high-grade spiritual weapon and wreak havoc everywhere.

But it's alright, let's just consider this event Meteor Fall's farewell battle.

As the meteor falls, this is your last act as a brother, to help you one last time. After that, you can retire in the sword formation.

"The event doesn't start until noon, so there's not much to prepare."

He muttered to himself, yawning wearily. The frantic weapon forging these past few days had injured him. Instead of wasting time preparing, he decided to log off and take a nap to recharge before facing the veteran players in the third server again!
Jiang Liu appeared extremely relaxed after seeing the cross-regional event, and even logged off to go to sleep without caring at all.

However, those in Zone 3 couldn't sleep. The event interface popped up at 0:00 AM, and by 0:05 AM, the Round Table Masters had already assembled.

This is the first time they have all gathered since their last cross-regional activity.

The main purpose of this gathering is to discuss the upcoming cross-regional activities and revenge!

In the Ganjiang River Palace.

The eight sect leaders sat around the table, their expressions solemn and their faces somber, and no one spoke.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely oppressive, as if even the air had frozen, making it hard to breathe.

After several minutes of silence, someone finally spoke.

Why did we lose last time?

The Flame King uttered a soul-searching question in a hoarse voice.

Upon hearing this, the demonic energy flowing within the hall surged and churned like the tide, revealing the unease in everyone's hearts.

They were clearly the veteran players, the overall strength of the third server was far superior to that of the fourth server, and their cultivation levels had already reached the mid-stage or even late-stage Golden Core realm.

Why did they lose in the cross-regional event?

The name of the main hall tells the story.

"Because of...stinginess?"

The youngest sect leader of Crane Water Sect, the beautiful college student Xia Xiaoshui, muttered something under her breath.

She told the truth, but no one could accept it.

"Stingy?!"

Sect Master Lü Hejin looked at Xia Xiaoshui with disbelief, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world: "Who are you calling stingy? Do you know how many spirit stones we spent in the last event?"

"Several teleportation talismans, plus the subsequent tribulation assistance, total a full 100 million spirit stones!"

"That's 100 million spirit stones! If we split it equally among the eight families, each of us will have to contribute 12.5 spirit stones!"

"You call this stinginess? Nobody's more generous than us!"

The others nodded in agreement, but when they thought about the expenses and gains of the last activity, they couldn't help but show signs of heartache.

Reluctant to buy gift packs or draw cards, most of the spirit stones earned are used to feed into demonic cultivation techniques. Demonic players mainly play the game for free.

Making them spend tens of thousands of spirit stones on an event is worse than killing them!

Is there anything more upsetting for them than spending tens of thousands of spirit stones to participate in events?
Have.

The money's been spent, but the fight hasn't even started.

"Young people like you are really extravagant with money. You don't even care about spending tens of thousands of spirit stones."

The Poison King, in a bad mood, glanced at Xia Xiaoshui and couldn't help but lecture her as a senior: "Has your demonic cultivation technique reached the mid-grade spirit level? When will your cultivation reach the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage?"

"You're just wasting your spirit stones on useless things, like drawing cards and buying gift packs. When will you ever break through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

"This is a cultivation game! We're cultivating immortality!"

"In the cultivation of immortality, realm represents everything! Everything else is insignificant!"

"Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Body Integration, Tribulation Transcending, Mahayana, Ascension!"

"If we move fast in one step, we can move fast in every step, you understand!"

"You don't even understand this? You're unworthy to be a follower of the demonic path!"

The Poison King's reprimand made Xia Xiaoshui blush, but she dared not argue back.

After all, since the last event, the Poison King has worked hard and reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, with a combat power of 6 million, leaving everyone else far behind.

As the number one Poison King in the three districts in terms of both rank and combat power, he reprimanded Xia Xiaoshui, who could only suffer in silence.

However, no matter what, she was still the sect leader of one of the eight major sects in the third district, and she had her own prestige. After being taught a lesson, she said in a low voice, quite unconvinced, "Then you either lost because you were stingy, or you lost because you withdrew from the event, right?"

In short, he almost got himself killed by the drug kingpin.

That short sentence brought back the most humiliating moment of his life for the drug king.

A mighty demon lord in the late Golden Core stage was actually killed by a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator!
This is a disgrace, a disgrace that he had buried deep in his heart, a disgrace he had long forgotten, but which Xia Xiaoshui brought up again.

"you!"

The Poison King flew into a rage, leaping to his feet. His finger trembled as he pointed at Xia Xiaoshui, his entire body shaking with anger: "Duel! I challenge you to a duel! I'll teach you what it means to respect your elders!"

The others wanted to laugh but were afraid the situation would get even more out of control, so they could only suppress their laughter while trying to calm the Poison King down.

"Hey, calm down, calm down. You're almost forty, why are you arguing with a young girl?"

"It's not your fault. It really wasn't your fault last time. It was all that guy's fault for having such overpowered ice skills."

"Sit down, sit down. Let's not dwell on the past. What we need to discuss is this cross-regional event."

Was the Poison King the reason for the failure of the last cross-region event?
That's fucking amazing!
If there were someone at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, they would definitely be able to break Jiang Liu's Extreme Ice Seal.

But who told the Poison King to feel too ashamed to face anyone after being defeated and simply quit the event?
