Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

Zhang Ning led Lu Chuan back up the steps, his gaze sweeping over the disciples below, and said loudly:

"Today, the elders, deacons, and heads of various departments should have come here together, firstly to instruct the disciples, and secondly to allow each disciple to choose their preferred department."

"However, the sect is currently in turmoil, and the higher-ups are overwhelmed with other matters, so this matter has to be abandoned."

"After this gathering, each disciple may go to whichever department they wish to join with their identity jade token. Upon arrival, a senior brother will guide and assist them."

"The meeting is adjourned for today."

The conference has now concluded.

Zhang Ning turned to look at Lan Shi beside him: "Fellow Daoist Lan, please come into the hall with me for a chat."

"Sect Master, please wait a moment."

Lady Lan bowed slightly, her demeanor gentle and graceful: "My daughter once entrusted me to deliver something to Young Master Xia Ye. Today, on this occasion, please allow me to hand the token to him in person."

Zhang Ning nodded slightly in agreement: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you inside the main hall."

After saying that, she suddenly flashed and disappeared on the steps, entering the main hall.

Lan looked at Shen Hua in the crowd and walked quickly toward him.

"Wait a minute!" a nearby player shouted. "Madam, don't rush. He might not be Xia Ye, but someone else impersonating him!"

"Yeah, yeah, how could Xia Ye possibly have mixed spiritual roots? He's definitely faking it."

Lan Shi had no doubts and continued walking towards Shen Hua.

There couldn't possibly be another high-level weapon refiner among the players present; it must be Xia Ye.

Faced with the doubts of those around him, Shen Hua was too lazy to refute them and simply turned on the "name visible to those around him" option.

Since his identity has already been exposed, he doesn't mind exposing it even more thoroughly.

Upon seeing the clearly visible characters for "Summer" and "Night" above their heads, the surrounding doubts ceased abruptly.

"Wow, it really is Brother Xia Ye!"

"No, Brother Xia Ye really has mixed spiritual roots?"

This shocked the entire audience even more.

Now here's the question: How did Xia Ye, with his mixed spiritual root, manage to consistently occupy the top spot on the ranking list? Shouldn't those Celestial Spiritual Root cultivators be ashamed?

No, that's not right. It should be that everyone present should feel ashamed.

There are over three thousand people with Heavenly Spiritual Roots present. How could they be overshadowed by someone with a mixed Spiritual Root?

The players looked at each other, their minds in turmoil.

At this moment, Madam Lan had already walked up to Shen Hua and handed him a warm and smooth jade pendant.

"This was entrusted to me by my daughter Ruoyun to be given to you, young master. This item will be of great help to your cultivation."

Shen Hua reached out and accepted the jade pendant, then bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you so much, Sect Leader Xu, for your kind gift. I have no way to repay you."

The jade pendant was about the size of a palm, square and neat. Spiritual energy flowed slowly inside the pendant, and a faint spiritual light surrounded it.

But upon touching it, Shen Hua was slightly taken aback.

Isn't this the Qingning Pendant that Xu Lan always wears?

This is their family heirloom!

I glanced at the equipment stats:

【Qingling Pendant】

Tier 1 Celestial Crafting Equipment

Core effect: Moderately increases the speed of spiritual energy absorption during cultivation;

It moderately increases the speed of spiritual energy recovery during battle.

Additional effect: Placing the jade pendant between the eyebrows can dispel cluttered thoughts and restore mental clarity. (Limited to once per day)

……

This is actually a piece of equipment of superb craftsmanship!

The quality of equipment in the game is divided into four categories: Spiritual Charm, Mystic, Heavenly Craftsmanship, and Divine Creation, with corresponding colors of green, blue, purple, and orange, respectively.

This is actually a purple-grade item!

Moreover, the highest quality of Tier 1 equipment is purple, and orange divine equipment will only appear at Tier 2.

At the same time, all players on the server received a system notification: [The Equipment Ranking has changed; the Qingning Pendant has reached the top spot.]

The Qingning Pendant is just a piece of jewelry, not a magical artifact.

Although it is not a magic weapon, its rarity and quality far exceed those of the superior magic weapon [Black Leather Wrapped Hands], thus surpassing [Black Leather Wrapped Hands] and firmly taking the top spot on the list!

The other players in the same sect also received the system notification.

When they clicked on it, they were all numb.

No, not again?

The newly crowned number one jade pendant is also yours.

You've taken the top three spots on the equipment leaderboard all by yourself. Can't you leave some room for the other players?

"A purple jade pendant?" The players were insanely jealous as they looked at the jade pendant in Shen Hua's hand!

One player lamented, "I don't even have any green gear! And you've already got purple gear?!"

Although the players present were all chosen ones with Heavenly Spiritual Roots, the vast majority of them actually did not have any green equipment.

A low-grade green magic weapon can sell for 30 to 40 low-grade spirit stones outside, and it can't be bought in ordinary markets.

While large markets like Qingzhushan Marketplace sell these items, there are requirements for purchasing them; for example, only disciples of the sect can buy them.

Only the markets of top-tier sects sell without any restrictions.

But where would players get that much money?

Most of the items they possessed were white, low-grade magic artifacts that they had bought for 10 low-grade spirit stones.

Summer Night Bro is doing well!

Having already acquired a green magic artifact with the "Heavenly Will Gilding" effect and a high-grade golden mystical magic artifact, he has now obtained a purple jade pendant, whose quality is even better than the high-grade mystical magic artifact!

It's true what they say, comparisons are odious! Are they really playing the same game?

The surrounding players were green with envy, and some even began to question their own existence.

Shen Hua examined the jade pendant in his hand, and he was quite surprised.

The value of the Qingning Pendant cannot be measured by spirit stones.

Jewelry of this quality cannot be bought on the market no matter how many spirit stones you spend, and it is not even available in the treasure pavilion of Taiping Sect!

This is absolutely a top-tier family heirloom!

The family members started wearing it from the time they began cultivating, and continued to wear it until they reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and the effects were quite good.

After reaching the Golden Core stage, the jade pendant's effect becomes negligible.

But if a jade pendant can be worn for decades and then passed down to one’s children, what else is it but a family heirloom?

In some ways, this is more valuable than a top-tier purple magic artifact!

After all, magical artifacts can be damaged in battle, while jade pendants can truly be passed down from generation to generation.

"Senior Lan, this is far too precious. I am unworthy of such a gift..." Shen Hua raised his hand and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, his tone filled with trepidation.

"Take it," Lan said with a smile. "Xu Lan is about to advance to the Golden Core stage, so she won't need this jade pendant anymore. Besides, there are no particularly outstanding disciples in the sect."

"You have mixed spiritual roots and your talent is not good, so you need to make up for it in other ways. This jade pendant is perfect for you."

"Then... this junior will accept it." Shen Hua did not refuse again and carefully put the jade pendant into his backpack.

He clasped his hands and bowed deeply, his expression extremely solemn: "I am deeply grateful for your kindness, and I will certainly repay it."

"If Qingzhu Mountain ever needs my service in the future, I will gladly brave any danger to serve you!"

Lan smiled, her tone gentle and composed: "Very good. You can focus on your cultivation within the Taiping Sect. I still need to meet with Sect Leader Zhang, so I'll take my leave now."

"This junior respectfully sees you off, senior." Shen Hua bowed as he saw you off.
