This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 210 The three districts raise a huge sum of 160 million! The first phase of the 'Deep Sea Treasure Hunt' begins!
After much persuasion from the crowd, the Poison King finally sat back down in his original seat with a sullen face, his already bad mood only getting worse.

"Ahem, let me say something too."

The Demon Yin Sect Master, Lan Yaoyin, coughed twice and pondered, "To be honest, I personally feel that Xiao Shui is right. Perhaps we are a bit stingy. Hmm, the event expenses are a bit low."

"Just look at the final stage of the last cross-regional event. The other side spent tens of millions of spirit stones to show their generosity and that's how they won the event."

"If only we had followed back then."

She was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"Ten million spirit stones?!"

Lu Hejin said in a shrill voice, "That's ten million spirit stones! You want us to join in? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"I'd rather withdraw from the event than spend so many spirit stones!"

What a joke! He spent over 100,000 spirit stones on the last cross-server event, which already made him very distressed. He even went to the cross-server to mine for a few days to recover.

It's just a simple event that doesn't reward cultivation points or spirit stones. Spending tens of thousands of spirit stones isn't enough, yet they want to double the reward?
No way, don't even think about it. I wouldn't pay a single cent of even 100,000.

The others were also startled by Lan Yaoyin's words. Ten million spirit stones! Even if they split it among the eight families, each person would still have to contribute 125 million spirit stones!
Do you have enough spirit stones to participate in events?

Isn't that just plain stupid?
Wouldn't it be better to use it to feed demonic cultivation techniques?
"No, that's not what I meant."

Lan Yaoyin shook her head and continued, "The biggest expense in the last cross-regional event was teleportation scrolls. Apart from that, we didn't actually spend much."

"A few teleportation talismans are worth nearly a million spirit stones, but we haven't gotten the expected returns. That's the key point."

The others looked thoughtful upon hearing this; they understood what Lan Yaoyin meant.

The teleportation talismans used in conjunction with the Yin-Yang Reversal Plate are extremely expensive. If each teleportation talisman can kill 1000 million players in the fourth region, then it is definitely not a loss.

In reality, each teleportation scroll isn't even enough to exchange for 100 players in Zone 4, which is a huge loss.

"In the end, teleportation talismans are just personal items, not event items purchased during the event, so it's normal that they don't work."

Lan Yaoyin shared her thoughts and then suggested, "My personal suggestion is that this time we should spend our spirit stones wisely and use them all to buy event items!"

"Only event-specific items can be used to their fullest potential during the event, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they felt it made a lot of sense.

Although the in-game items available during the event are expensive, it must be admitted that they are genuinely useful, and extremely so.

"Isn't this just paying tribute to the planners?"

Lu and Jin seemed very reluctant, saying with a face full of resistance: "Using our own props to participate in the event can be considered as clearing out our inventory, but buying the game developers' premium items is a real expense."

The others: "."

The others looked at Lü and Jin speechlessly. They knew he was stingy, but could he please not be stingy at a time like this?

This is a cross-regional event!

This is a cross-server event where you can protect the dignity of the three districts and seek revenge!
If you want revenge, you can't be so petty.

"I agree with the Demon Yin Sect Master's suggestion!"

Yan Wang immediately raised his hand in agreement, his fierce gaze sweeping around as he slowly said, "Gentlemen, are we going to lose to District Four again this time?"

Still losing?

If we lose again, our third district will truly become a laughing stock!
"I also agree to pool our money to buy the event items!"

"We can't afford to lose again! It's time to show the newbies in Zone 4 our potential!"

"It's just paying tribute to the planners, I'll tolerate it!"

"This time, I will win!"

The mere mention of the defeat in the last cross-regional event ignited a surge of anger and resentment among the crowd, their hearts burning with a volcanic eruption of shame.

This time, we won't be stingy!
This time, we're going to spend a lot of money too!
This time, we will win!

"If we're going to win, we need a resounding victory! Only a resounding victory can wipe away our shame!"

The Poison King, seated in the main seat, gleamed with murderous intent in his eyes and said in a low voice, "20 spirit stones! Everyone contribute 20 spirit stones! That's a whopping 160 million spirit stones to buy event items!"

"This time, I'm going to tear that guy to pieces!"

He squeezed out the last sentence through gritted teeth, which showed just how much he hated Jiang Liu.

A residence that costs 20 spirit stones?!

Everyone gasped, staring at the Poison King with horrified eyes. The Poison King, who had poured all his wealth into demonic cultivation techniques, was about to suffer a huge loss this time!
How much must he hate that player named Jiang Liu!
You're bleeding heavily, don't drag us down with you!
Seeing the Poison King's expression of deep hatred, the others were too embarrassed to suggest a 50% discount and could only nod with wry smiles.

"Can!"

Seeing that others agreed, the Poison King's face showed a sinister smile. He glanced at everyone, his eyes revealing the domineering aura of the number one in the three districts. His tone was full of strong confidence as he said, "The huge sum of 160 million spirit stones, plus the fact that we have destroyed many righteous NPC sects in our respective worlds during this period and obtained several spirit weapons, have greatly increased our strength."

"My cultivation level has improved, my equipment has been upgraded, and I've collected a large sum of spirit stones. There's absolutely no reason for me to fail this time!"

"I...I have already seen the dawn of victory! Hahahaha!"

Since losing the cross-region event, they have been frantically improving their strength as if they had gone mad. Not only have they all leveled up by a small realm, but they have also teamed up to farm several NPC sects and obtained more than a dozen spiritual weapons!
Who can match such a speed of improvement?
That player named Jiang Liu, we admit you're very strong.

However, we are no longer who we used to be!
While you remain stagnant, we are one step closer to ascension!

This time, I'll beat you into submission!
Then, let's set our sights on Zone 1 and Zone 2!
"Conquer District Four!"

The more the drug king thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but raise his arm and shout loudly.

The others were also extremely excited, and they shouted in unison with the Poison King: "Conquer District Four!"

"Defeat Jiang Liu!" "Defeat Jiang Liu!"

at this time.

Jiang Liu was unaware that the big shot in the third district had already raised a huge sum of money, preparing to defeat him in the cross-district event.

After waking up, he first switched to the Immortal Cultivation Era and opened his backpack to check the number of spirit stones.

When he saw that there were only ten million spirit stones, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

This amount of spirit stones seems a bit insufficient for a 15-day cross-server event, doesn't it?

The last few days of the event cost tens of millions of spirit stones. Won't this half-month event cost even more money?

No, I'm having a phobia of not having enough spirit stones. I need to earn a little more to fill my inventory.

Alchemy furnace, start.

The Hundred Cultivation Pill, begin refining!
Three hours later.

Jiang Liu looked at the 2320 million spirit stones in his backpack and couldn't help but smile with a sense of ease and satisfaction.

With so many spirit stones, I feel more confident.

Veteran players from Zone 3, this time I'll use spirit stones to smash you into submission!
Then, let's set our sights on Zone 1 and Zone 2!
The cross-server event "Battle for Rare and Precious Treasures" has begun. Would you like to teleport to the event map?

【Yes】

My sight turned and the world spun.

Jiang Liu slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was an endless expanse of azure sea.

The sea waves surged, shimmering with silver light. The air was filled with the slightly salty sea breeze, and a cool breeze brushed against my cheeks. Just seeing this scene on the map gave me a sense of peace, tranquility, and comfort.

He stood on the sea, looking around, but could not see a single piece of land.

Upon opening the mini-map again, I was even more surprised.

The small map shows sea areas in all four directions (north, south, east, and west). This event map is really huge!

As other players continued to enter the event map, the system voice rang in his mind.

[You have been teleported to the event map - Fairy Sea]

The first phase of the cross-regional event "Battle for Natural Treasures," titled "Deep Sea Treasure Hunt," is about to begin. Please check the event interface in the upper left corner for details.

Treasure hunting in the deep sea?

Not on the surface of the sea, but underwater?

Jiang Liu's lips twitched slightly, and he subconsciously looked down at the surging sea beneath his feet, his heart trembling involuntarily.

I can't swim!

"This is a game. I'm a Golden Core cultivator, so I shouldn't be able to drown, right?"

He muttered to himself as he opened the activity interface in the upper left corner.

Deep-sea treasure hunt

[Event Introduction: The first batch of rare and precious materials has been formed and placed at the bottom of this Immortal Spirit Sea. Ten rare materials and twenty precious materials are quietly placed in the deep sea, awaiting the arrival of their destined owners.]

[Event Details: Players in Zones 3 and 4 will try to collect all the rare and precious materials before the sea monsters sense them. During this process, players from different zones will interfere with and fight each other. The number of rare and precious materials obtained by each zone will be included in the total number of items for this event.]

[Note: 1 piece of Heavenly Material = 2 pieces of Earthly Treasure]

[Stage Rewards: Each piece of rare material grants one island coordinate, and every two pieces of rare earth treasure grant one island coordinate.]

[Duration of this phase: 1 day]

Damn it?

Did I see it wrong?

After reading the introduction to the first phase of the event, Jiang Liu's eyes widened as if he had seen something unbelievable. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes and looked over again.

It's not one rare treasure and two rare earth treasures!
Instead, it's 10 rare materials and 20 rare earth treasures!
OMG!

Has the planner gone mad? Doesn't Heaven have a mental hospital?

Jiang Liu couldn't believe that the rare and precious materials that sold for 288 million spirit stones in the Breakthrough Benefits event were being offered in 30 quantities in this event!
Isn't this a dream?
Thirty rare and precious materials, if sold in a gift pack, would cost nearly 90 million spirit stones!

9000 million spirit stones given away for free?
No, that's not right.

This is only the first stage; there will be a second and a third stage later.

If 30 rare and precious materials are used in each stage, that would amount to 1.8 million spirit stones!
Oh my God!
Will I be able to make it back?

Jiang Liu was filled with surprise and doubt, deeply puzzled by the planner's generosity, and even wondered if the event was being held at a loss.

however.

When he opened the in-game store at the bottom of the event page, his doubts vanished instantly.

A dazzling array of items!

Losing money?

nonexistent!
