Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

Zhang Ning smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone, "Deacon Xia, may I take a look at that spiritual herb?"

Shen Hua pondered for a moment, then said earnestly, "If the sect leader agrees to my two conditions, this disciple will offer the spiritual herb with both hands."

"What are your conditions?"

"First, I hope that my contribution points in this sect can be used at the Julu main sect," Shen Hua explained. "I urgently need an item that is only available at the main sect."

Zhang Ning raised his hand and readily agreed: "It's a small matter, approved."

She didn't care at all.

She still has tens of thousands of contribution points at the main gate; she can always trade them with Shen Hua.

"Secondly," Shen Hua said solemnly, "this disciple desires the thousand-year-old gilded vine."

The Millennium Gold Vine is currently the most difficult spiritual material to obtain.

Shen Hua himself doesn't have a way to obtain it, but Zhang Ning might.

Now he's throwing the problem at Zhang Ning, letting Zhang Ning worry about it.

"A thousand-year-old gilded vine?" Zhang Ning was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to make such a request.

However, she didn't ask any nonsense like "Why do you want the thousand-year-old gilded vine?" She knew in her heart that even if she asked, Shen Hua might not tell her.

Zhang Ning frowned and pondered for a long time.

After a long pause, she finally spoke, asking, "Did you know that the Thousand-Year-Old Golden Vine only exists within the Fangxian Dao Sect?"

Shen Hua nodded: "Of course I know, that's why I came to ask the sect leader for help."

Shen Hua paused for a moment, carefully choosing his words before continuing, "Although our two sects are currently enemies, our relationship used to be quite harmonious. Sect Master, you should have some acquaintances in Fangxian Dao, right? Perhaps you can find a way to exchange them."

Zhang Ning shook his head: "I've always stayed at the main gate. I only came here to become the sect leader ten years ago, so I don't have any old acquaintances there."

"This..." Shen Hua frowned.

"But you don't need to worry." Zhang Ning stood up, raised his hand to set up a soundproof barrier, his eyes full of confidence. "I have a solution—just attack Fang Xian Dao directly. Once we take him down, the Thousand-Year-Old Golden Vine will naturally be ours!"

Shen Hua: "Huh?"

Seeing his astonished expression, Zhang Ning crossed his arms and laughed, "No need to be surprised."

She smiled confidently and said, "How about we make a deal?"

"Deacon Xia, give me the Thousand-Year Spirit Candle Grass. Once I break through my cultivation level, I will lead the team to attack Fangxian Dao."

"If you successfully conquer the Fangxian Dao Sect, the Thousand-Year-Old Golden Vine will be yours; if you fail, I will give you 10,000 contribution points, which can be used in both this sect and the main sect."

"Okay, I agree." Shen Hua secretly wiped away a bead of sweat.

Because of one sentence he said, Zhang Ning actually planned to destroy Fangxian Dao?

If the cultivators of Fangxian Dao were to learn of this, they would be incredibly grateful.

"Now can you give me the Thousand-Year Spirit Candle Grass?" Zhang Ning looked directly at Shen Hua and said solemnly, "I swear to the Heavenly Dao that everything I just said is true. If there is even the slightest falsehood, may my path to immortality be severed!"

The oath made in accordance with the will of Heaven carries immense weight; once Zhang Ning uttered these words, there was absolutely no possibility of him going back on his word.

Upon hearing this, Shen Hua immediately took out the Thousand-Year Spirit Candle Grass and handed it over with both hands: "Sect Master, please examine it."

"It really is a thousand-year-old spirit candle grass!" Zhang Ning's gaze fell on the thousand-year-old spirit candle grass, and he couldn't take his eyes off it for a moment.

This Spirit Candle Grass is of superior quality and brimming with spiritual energy. It must be said, this is a rare and priceless treasure!

Now she is missing this one ingredient.

With it, one can refine breakthrough pills, and finally have the opportunity to advance to the middle stage of cultivation after being stuck at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage for several years!

Instead of directly reaching out to take the spirit herb, Zhang Ning took out an exquisite jade box from his storage bag.

With a thought, the Thousand-Year Spirit Candle Grass flew out of Shen Hua's hand and into the jade box.

Next, she closed the jade box and applied several restrictions to prevent the medicinal herbs' spiritual energy from leaking out.

Only after doing all this did she feel at ease.

Zhang Ning was very happy at that moment.

She had been stuck in the early Nascent Soul stage for so long, but unexpectedly, she gained the opportunity to break through today!

Furthermore, she recently assembled a team, which she falsely claimed was to ambush the enemy sect at Maling Mountain.

This team has remained inactive since it was organized. Fellow Daoist Lan from Qingzhu Mountain was among them, and she asked her several times when the attack would take place.

This team is now in perfect use, and it couldn't be more suitable to launch a surprise attack on Fang Xiandao!

……

After saying goodbye to Zhang Ning, Shen Hua returned to his cave abode on a magical artifact.

He never expected that a single herb would cause such a huge change, that Zhang Ning would actually plan to directly attack Fang Xian Dao!

"I hope the sect leader can successfully complete his training," Shen Hua prayed silently.

Once Zhang Ning succeeds, he will obtain the Thousand-Year-Old Golden Vine. Next, he only needs to gather the Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Flower and the Thousand-Year-Old Crimson Essence Ganoderma.

Moreover, the sect contribution points are universally applicable. He only needs to accumulate 10,000 points to completely gather the four main materials for harmonizing his spiritual root!

But can Fangxiandao really be defeated? Shen Hua wasn't very optimistic about it.

In the current situation in Tan County, the combined power of Huanglaodao and Fangxiandao is far stronger than that of Taipingmen. Taipingmen even has to abandon hundreds of resource-producing areas and retreat to defend Tan County.

Now, Zhang Ning actually plans to personally lead the team to attack Fangxiandao?

If we fail to capture it, it could put our side in a completely passive position.

Shen Hua thought to himself, "But Sect Leader Zhang is not a reckless person; she must have her reasons for making such a decision."

Anyway, I hope the sect leader will succeed soon.

……

For the next ten days, Shen Hua returned to his daily cultivation routine.

Zhang Ning's attack on Fangxian Dao will take some time. She had stated that she planned to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm before launching her attack, so Shen Hua could only wait patiently.

While cultivating daily, Shen Hua also began to purposefully take on tasks that required high contribution points within the sect. He also kept an eye out for any disciples who offered to transfer their contribution points, and he would buy them immediately.

The spirit stones in my backpack are decreasing rapidly, but my contribution points are gradually increasing.

Shen Hua focused all his remaining attention on the upcoming auction. Who wouldn't want to sell their items for a good price?

……

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the auction began as scheduled!

The auction was held in the square in front of Taipingmen Mountain Gate, where a "noodle-eating challenge" was once held.

According to the rules, disciples are not allowed to hold large-scale events in this square. However, upon hearing that it was Deacon Xia who was in charge, the sect's deacons readily agreed.

The auction was highly anticipated!

Because of Shen Hua's server-wide announcement, everyone knew about the auction.

Today, the streets and alleys around Taiping Gate are packed with people, with crowds thronging everywhere. The rooftops next to the square are also full of people, and the sounds of voices rise and fall.

Even if they were too far away to see clearly what was happening inside, everyone was still willing to join in the fun.

The players chatted enthusiastically in small groups, waiting for the auction to begin.
