Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

Seeing Shen Hua's completion score, many people guessed his strategy: he must have bypassed the earlier bosses and directly faced and defeated the final boss. Otherwise, there is no other reasonable explanation.

Even the localized necrosis was astonishing; how could they have cleared the level this way?

He witnessed Shen Hua using stealth techniques and understood that Xia Ye had infiltrated and taken down the final boss directly.

But this method was so amazing that the entire game was completed in just 15 minutes!

If Shen Hua hadn't just discussed the "first-clear reward distribution" issue with him, the clear time could have been reduced to 10 minutes!

More importantly, it's unimaginable how strong Shen Hua really is, considering the localized necrosis.

For the past two days, Local Necrosis has been keeping an eye on the progress of other teams' dungeon runs.

According to his understanding, even a team of five ordinary players can't defeat the first boss.

The difficulty of the subsequent bosses increases progressively. Those who can defeat the third boss are already considered top-tier players, and those who can defeat the fourth boss are among the very few truly formidable individuals across the entire server.

Following this logic, the final boss must be extremely difficult, certainly no less so than the previous ones.

But Xia Ye Ge was able to clear it alone?

This is enough to show that Brother Xia Ye's strength has become ridiculously powerful!

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shen Hua was tallying up the rewards for clearing the dungeon.

After clearing the dungeon, the rewards included 25 spirit stones, 3 low-grade magic weapons, 3 Qi Gathering Pills, 4 low-grade talismans, and some materials.

In addition, you will be rewarded with 5 low-grade spirit stones for not using profanity to provoke Hu Guang.

Shen Hua wasn't interested in any of that; he was now flush with cash and didn't care much for such rewards. He went straight to the first-clearance reward section.

Game notification: [Congratulations! Your team has successfully completed the Blood Shadow Ancient Academy dungeon for the first time. You have received a reward of [Spirit Candle Grass (Heavenly Craft)] x1.]

"Spirit Candle Grass? And a thousand-year-old Spirit Candle Grass!" Shen Hua was overjoyed upon seeing the reward.

The system reward was sent directly to my inventory. Sure enough, after the notification sound, the Spirit Candle Grass appeared in the last slot of my inventory.

The candle plant closely resembles a dandelion in appearance, with its branches and leaves entirely blood red, while the top of the plant is golden yellow. Because it looks like a burning candle, it is named "candle plant".

This Spirit Candle Grass is a thousand-year-old spiritual herb.

Shen Hua recognized it as a thousand-year-old spiritual herb at a glance because its quality was described as "divine craftsmanship".

In the game, the quality of herbs is closely related to their age.

Herbs aged less than ten years are all classified as white and of ordinary quality.

Herbs ranging from ten to a hundred years old are all of green and spiritual quality;

Herbs that have been around for hundreds or thousands of years are all of the same blue, mysterious quality;

Those over a thousand years old are classified as purple Tiangong (Heavenly Craftsmanship).

Those over 10,000 years old are orange-colored divine creations.

This Spirit Candle Grass is of the Purple Celestial Craft quality, which means it has medicinal properties that are at least a thousand years old. However, the exact age still needs further investigation.

With a flick of his wrist, Shen Hua revealed the red and gold herb in his palm.

As soon as it appeared, the rich and mellow medicinal fragrance of the Spirit Candle Grass spread instantly.

Shen Hua took a light sniff of the medicinal fragrance and immediately came to a conclusion. Based on his experience, he judged that the medicine was about two thousand years old.

"A two-thousand-year-old Spirit Candle Grass! I never expected to get such a good thing on my first clear of the dungeon!" Shen Hua thought to himself with delight.

But amidst his joy, he also felt somewhat helpless, because he himself didn't really need this thing!

Shen Hua is very familiar with all the herbs in the game.

First of all, the value of the Spirit Candle Grass is quite high.

Even the worst quality thousand-year-old spiritual herbs can sell for 800 low-grade spirit stones.

Spirit Candle Grass is a relatively rare herb in the game, and with its medicinal properties accumulated over two thousand years, it can easily sell for 3000 low-grade spirit stones!

However, high value does not necessarily mean it is useful to Shen Hua in the present.

Shen Hua carefully recalled the uses of the Spirit Candle Grass.

The main use of Spirit Candle Grass is as a medicinal guide to help Nascent Soul cultivators break through their cultivation level. Whether it's the early stage of Nascent Soul to the middle stage, or the middle stage to the late stage, it's indispensable.

Shen Hua secretly pondered, "This thousand-year-old spirit candle grass isn't of much use to me, but it's something that Zhang Ning and his group of Nascent Soul cultivators desperately need."

"Since I don't need it, why don't I exchange it with Zhang Ning for something I need?"

Moreover, Shen Hua also realized something—Zhang Ning and the others certainly didn't lack Taiping Sect contribution points, but he did.

He could also use the Spirit Candle Grass to exchange for some contribution points with these Nascent Soul stage veterans, and then go to the sect's deacon hall to exchange for what he wanted.

Thinking of this, Shen Hua once again flipped his hand and carefully put the Spirit Candle Grass into his backpack.

Just as Shen Hua finished collecting the items, he received a game notification: "Congratulations, as the leader of the first team to clear the dungeon, you have been granted the privilege of making a 30-second server-wide announcement."

This reward was exactly what Shen Hua had expected, and he had already prepared what to say.

Without the slightest hesitation, he activated his voice command and announced loudly, "Hello everyone, I am Xia Ye, and I have three things to say."

First, I accept orders for the refining of all kinds of difficult-to-make elixirs and magical artifacts;

Secondly, I plan to auction off my top-grade golden magic weapon, [Mysterious Leather Hand-Wrapped], soon. Those interested are welcome to come to Tanxian County to participate in the auction.

Third, I have mixed spiritual roots, but my cultivation speed far exceeds everyone else's. I have always been at the top of the ranking list. Do you want to know my cultivation secrets?

If you want to know, you can find the disciples of Taipingmen in Tanxian County; each of them knows the specific secrets.

Thirty seconds is quite short, and Shen Hua hurriedly finished speaking.

In the first two instances, he essentially gave up on himself.

Thirdly, Shen Hua planned to spread the news about the spirit box as soon as possible.

Recently, he discovered that after the players of Taipingmen learned about the spirit box, very few of them sold it; instead, they were all quietly making a fortune.

This makes the spread of information about the spirit box to the outside world too slow.

Shen Hua didn't want them to keep it a secret; he wanted the news to spread throughout the country as quickly as possible, and preferably all over the world.

So, by taking advantage of this server-wide announcement, he released the clues and used them to spread the news quickly.

……

In an instant, all players on the entire server heard this shout.

After hearing the first two points, the audience didn't react much; at most, they were somewhat interested in the auction of the "Black Leather Hand-Wrapped Scroll".

But when the third rule was announced, the entire server instantly erupted in chaos.

People discussed it with those around them in disbelief:

"No, did I hear that right? Brother Xia Ye has a mixed spiritual root?!"

"How could he have a mixed spiritual root? He should at least have a celestial spiritual root, right?"

"A mixed-elemental root can consistently rank first on the level leaderboard? How is that possible? He's already accumulated 161 experience points!"

As of now, Shen Hua is far ahead on the current level leaderboard with 161/200 points at level 0.

The second-ranked player, Grandpa Calabash, who rescued the baby, is only level 0 with a score of 81/200. The gap is almost double.

And you're telling me this is a mixed spiritual root?

But since Shen Huazhen said it, everyone had no choice but to believe her.

Moreover, Shen Hua's cultivation method has seriously aroused everyone's curiosity.

So everyone took action and went to contact the Taipingmen disciples in Tan County to find out the inside story.
