The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 140 The Strategist Recruits

Blood pill.

A special elixir that can be used as a medium for performing certain supernatural arts.

It can greatly increase the refiner's strength during the refining process, and at the same time, the recovery effect is amazing.

What's more, the person who died was a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Even if a top-tier expert at the peak of Qi Refining were to attack him in Lianyun Market, he would be at his limit if he could barely remain undefeated.

Not to mention killing him.

"Foundation Establishment?" Zhou Xuanming put his hand down. "Impossible. When did the Lianyun region ever have such a person appear without anyone noticing?"

""

Zhou Xuanming shook his head.

Although the Blood Pill is powerful, it is not difficult to defeat it if there is a magic weapon that can counter it.

Especially the Myriad Soul Banner, a malevolent magical artifact, has an absurdly strong ability to suppress Blood Pills.

Not only can it steal blood and energy to nourish the body, it can also directly cause the injuries of the Blood Pill user to relapse after the blessing is lost.

If used by a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, killing the opponent would not be difficult.

When did a real demonic cultivator reappear in Lianyungang City?

"Investigate thoroughly!" Zhou Xuanming didn't offer any further explanation.

A voice rang out in the empty room, its calm tone carrying an indescribable air of authority.

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

Within the Qingxuan Sect.

The strategist walked along the road to the back mountain, looking somewhat listless and dejected.

"Damn, why is this hidden dungeon so hard to find? It's been days and I haven't seen a single thing." He threw a pebble on the ground and said indignantly.

Five whole days! Five whole days!

He led his 15 players to wander around the Lianyun Mountains, but could only see some idle monsters.

The only two known large dungeons are Spirit Lake, which is impossible to conquer, and the other, Ridge Plain, has already been taken by Flying Dragon in the Sky for new players to level up.

Having no other option, he had to search for other possible copies.

only----

"Sigh, it's all tears when I talk about it."

The strategist had already foreseen that if they continued searching, all they would be left with was a waste of time.

We have to use a more sophisticated approach.

As he walked along the mountain path, a sudden inspiration struck him: "That's it! NPCs can give players quests, so I can also ask others to help me find things!"

Thinking this, the strategist suddenly realized that about ten players had recently been released from the Spirit Field.

They are currently just a scattered group of soldiers with nothing to do, wandering aimlessly in the Lianyun Mountains.

Wouldn't it be a win-win situation to have these people help me find dungeons and then give them a reward?

"Hehe, I really am a genius!" The strategist's lips slowly curled into a smile.

During the time he was pondering, he unknowingly arrived at the destination of his journey.

At the entrance of the contribution shop in the spirit field.

But he came here not to exchange contribution points for other items, but for something else.

At that moment, the strategist glanced around and saw about 50 new players chatting enthusiastically at the entrance of the contribution shop.

That's right. In the past few days, Flying Dragon in the Sky has leveled up all the players.

Many new players haven't yet accepted the next quest and are preparing to join a team led by an experienced player to play together.

The strategist's main purpose for this trip is to recruit potential new players.

"Holy crap, look, that's a dog's head."

"What nonsense! He's clearly the strategist."

"Haha, enough said, strategist, hurry up and let me join your team!"

Players were buzzing with discussion, but many expressed a strong desire to join the team led by the strategist.

The strategist was overjoyed upon seeing this.

Prestige is sometimes far more useful than superficial benefits.

"Ahem, hello everyone, I'm the Dog-Headed Strategist. I'm sure you all already know me, so I won't go into too much detail." The Dog-Headed Strategist coughed twice and waved to the crowd.

The players' eyes lit up at this sight, even though they all knew the strategist's team was already full.

But since they've already come all this way, they must have a plan.

"Here's the situation: although the game's team limit is 10 people, our original 15-person team was split into 6 members who each led two other teams."

"These six team members are the most capable players in our team. Furthermore, I will be in charge of all of you in future battles. Even if you are not on the same team, you will be a unified whole, sharing rewards and honors."

As soon as he finished speaking, many players were impressed by the strategist's plan.

"The strategist truly lives up to his name; he is indeed one step ahead of the righteous path, even if the devil is one foot tall."

66

"Hey, are you implying the official team is a demon?"

"Ahem, it's more like the devil is one step ahead of the saint, okay?"

"So you mean the official path, as the righteous one, is being suppressed by the demonic path? You traitor, just wait until your account is banned!"

"Haha, so there's a second level."

The players' conversation had even the strategist laughing uncontrollably.

However, to avoid any misunderstandings, he quickly explained his discussion with Zhou Yi.

After hearing this, everyone realized that there really wasn't any bug that could cause this.

The strategist was able to do this because he had negotiated with important NPCs beforehand.

Of course, this incident also caused many players to completely let down their guard.

In no time, those fourteen precious spots were snapped up by a frenzy of players.

The strategist sat atop it, slowly selecting the better combat players and adding them to the squad.

On the other side of the crowd, two people stood alone at the entrance of the donation shop, having escaped the frenzied atmosphere.

"Tie Niu, why don't you go and compete with those people for a spot? This team looks pretty strong."

A middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe smiled and gently stroked his white beard.

Upon closer inspection, the ID displayed above the person's head was none other than Linjiang Laodao.

As for why he asked Tie Niu, it was mainly to satisfy his own curiosity.

Tie Niu was a natural-born body-refining prodigy, and his physique was much stronger than that of ordinary people.

If you try to grab a spot, the chances of success should be pretty much guaranteed.

Moreover, the strategist offered very good treatment.

New members who have just joined will not only receive a free Tier 1 low-grade magic weapon, but will also receive 10 contribution points.

The old Taoist priest from Linjiang said that if he were qualified, he would definitely rush to sign up.

After all, if they didn't get a spot and there weren't any other opportunities, there's an 80% chance they'd end up participating in the Qingxuan Sect's triathlon.

Farming, mining, chopping firewood.

The first two are traditional businesses, while the last one is something the sect leader recently added.
