This is a cultivation game, but its operation is terrible.

Open the map in the upper right corner. Lingyun Sect is lit up. The area outside Lingyun Sect is still shrouded in gray mist, but two map names are marked in the distant gray mist.

One is Bailu City, the city that appears in the first chapter of the story.

One is the Divine Might Sect, which appeared in the limited-time event "The Demonic Cultivator's Invasion".

The NPCs Fu Qiluo and Gui Miechen in the limited-time event both come from the Shenwei Sect.

"Hiss, so that means I can go to the Divine Might Sect to see my Dao Companion now?"

When Jiang Liu saw the coordinates of the Divine Might Sect displayed on the map, his eyes lit up and his heart skipped a beat.

After more than half a month of nurturing and feeding, his affinity level with Fu Qiluo has reached level 4. Although the new features have not yet been unlocked, he can clearly feel that Fu Qiluo has truly fallen in love with him.

The reason is simple: ever since his affinity level reached level 4, he has been receiving letters from Fu Qiluo in his emails every few days.

No, it's a love letter.

She's even sent him love letters; what else could it be but falling in love with him?

Perhaps it was the system's fault that we initially became Daoist partners.

But now... Fu Qiluo must have already succumbed to his personal charm!

With thousands of spirit stones worth of romance items being given away every day, which female cultivator could resist that?

"After I finish exploring the Lingyun Sect, I'll go to the Shenwei Sect to see my beloved beauty."

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, a broad smile spreading across his face.

If the female disciples of the Lingyun Sect are not allowed to touch, surely one's own Daoist partner is allowed to touch?

I don't expect the authorities to let him into the bridal chamber, but surely he can hold hands and kiss a couple of times?

He's already eighteen and an adult; it's time for him to experience the baptism of love.

Lewd and shameless?

I'm eighteen already, is it wrong of me to think about girls?

Jiang Liu became more and more excited as he thought about it, his heart pounding. Just as he turned to explore the Lingyun Sect, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a silver treasure chest behind the teleportation point.

"They've even released treasure chests?"

Jiang Liu was slightly taken aback, then chuckled and bent down to open the treasure chest.

You have opened the Silver Treasure Chest and obtained 10 Spirit Stones.

Only 10 spirit stones?

His face instantly darkened. He had thought he might get Moon Pearls and Hundred Cultivation Herbs, but instead, there were only spirit stones inside!

Deduction ratio.

For ordinary players, finding spirit stones in treasure chests would be a cause for great joy, as it provides another way to obtain them.

But for him, it held no appeal.

Not only was it unattractive, it even dampened his enthusiasm.

I wasted so much time exploring the map, just for a few spirit stones from you?

Damn it, I'm not going to explore anymore, I'm not in the mood!

I've gone to the Divine Might Sect to find my Daoist partner!

Jiang Liu originally planned to push the exploration progress of Lingyun Sect to 100% before heading to Shenwei Sect.

But now... hehe.

I've almost wiped out your Lingyun Sect, leaving trash everywhere. How can that be more important than my Daoist partner?

Senior Sister Qiluo, your beloved Daoist partner has come to find you!

"The South, right?"

Jiang Liu glanced at the Divine Might Sect on the map, spread his wings, and flew towards the Divine Might Sect.

After soaring a thousand meters into the air and flying out of the Lingyun Sect's valley base, one is greeted by a lush, vibrant forest full of life. The forest is dense and the trees are towering, offering a beautiful view from above.

But he had no time to appreciate it, and flew straight to the Divine Might Sect, feeling a sense of anticipation and excitement like meeting an online friend.

One is a real human, and the other is an NPC; they're essentially online friends.

The Divine Might Sect is not too far from the Lingyun Sect, probably only a hundred miles away. After flying out of the forest, there is a plain in the wilderness. Looking down, you can vaguely see several small villages on the plain.

Looking further into the distance, a majestic city comes into view—Bai Lu City, the only city unlocked on the map.

"Is there a teleportation point?"

As he flew, Jiang Liu suddenly saw a giant silver pillar, tens of meters high, standing below. His eyes lit up, and he flew down to activate the teleportation point.

With this teleportation point, he could travel between Lingyun Sect and Shenwei Sect much faster.

Similarly, I spotted another elite monster with a red name near the teleportation point.

Placing elite monster spawn points near teleportation points is such a thoughtful design. You should learn from this!

Name: Red Slayer Demon

[Affiliation: Ghost-Faced Demon Palace]

[Rank: Elite]

[Realm: Mid-Foundation Establishment]

"Ghost-Faced Demon Palace? These are demonic cultivators?"

Jiang Liu looked at the tall, ferocious-looking elite monster with a menacing aura and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

How dare these demonic cultivators appear so brazenly on the plains? Is this a system setting or are they simply courting death?

Never mind, whatever it is, as a righteous cultivator with a strong sense of justice, he would never allow evil and demonic paths to exist in the world.

Ever since he rejected the Fourth Elder in the main storyline, he has vowed to be mortal enemies with the demonic path.

"Five elements in one line!"

Two minutes later.

You have obtained 5 Spirit Stones, 1 Moon Pearl, 1 Hundred-Cultivation Herb, and 1 Righteous Path Demon Extermination Order.

The Order to Exorcise Demons?

Jiang Liu was slightly puzzled, and opened his backpack to look at the white jade token.

[The Righteous Path's Demon-Slaying Order: A demonic pursuit order issued by the Taiyi Immortal Alliance. Collect this token to exchange for various items at the Taiyi Immortal Alliance NPC.]

The Taiyi Immortal Alliance... that sounds really awesome.

Anyone who dares to openly pursue and kill demonic cultivators must be a behemoth in the cultivation world. Their shops must have rare items that can't be bought with spirit stones. I'll keep collecting them.

Jiang Liu happily put away the token, then casually marked the elite monster before continuing to fly towards the Divine Might Sect.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes...

As he got closer to the Divine Might Sect, his heart pounded faster and faster.

He hadn't seen Fu Qiluo since the last event ended, and that character illustration worth several thousand yuan was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Although Fu Qiluo was only one of his 100 Daoist partners, she was also his first Daoist partner, so he naturally valued her highly.

You could even say that Fu Qiluo was his first love!

Oh, no, that's not right either. If virtual characters count, then it doesn't even qualify as a first love, let alone a first marriage.

at this time.

He was about to enter the territory of the Divine Might Sect. Although the map was completely black, as long as he was guided by love, he would definitely be able to find the Divine Might Sect's headquarters!

It's getting close!

Jiang Liufei flew thousands of meters in the air, looking extremely excited, his eyes constantly scanning the area below.

Soon, he discovered a large number of buildings in a low mountain range.

The moment he saw the Shenwei Sect's architectural complex, he felt his heart leap into his throat, and a sense of tension inevitably arose within him.

This sense of tension was even stronger than when he learned his final grades, or when he and Li Dongze went to the bathhouse together.

Is this what it feels like to meet a beautiful older sister in person?

So exciting!

Senior Sister Qiluo, Junior Brother is here!

Just as he was excitedly flying towards the Shenwei Sect's base, he suddenly stopped as if he had crashed into an invisible wall.

At the same time, a system voice sounded in his mind.

[Your Lingyun Sect exploration progress is below 50%, so you cannot enter other maps at this time.]

Please explore the areas ahead at a later time.

Jiang Liu: "??????"

Jiang Liu: "!!!!!!!"

"You fucking beast!"

Upon hearing the system's voice, Jiang Liu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His mind went blank, his eyes widened, and they were bloodshot.

In an instant, he felt the whole world go dark.

His brain was congested with blood, his whole body was trembling, and his lips were shaking with anger.

Let's explore the areas ahead later.

What kind of monster could come up with such a setting?!

I traveled a hundred miles, full of anticipation, to see my Daoist partner. I've already arrived at their doorstep, and you tell me to come back another time?

You've already taken your pants off and you're telling me this?!

Why didn't you warn me sooner!

Would I have come back if you had told me earlier?

"You beasts! One day I'll wipe out your entire Immortal Cultivation Era project!"
