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

[Qian Zhenghao: The other party said they were also a member sect of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance and were not afraid of us.]

Oh ho, one of our own?

How could our own people be so disrespectful?

[Jiang Liu: Tell him that the Sect Master of the Taichu Sect is the Director of the Human Affairs Office of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, introduced by Senior Cang Jingren, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Ask him to give me some face.]

Ten seconds later.

[Qian Zhenghao: He said their sect leader was the director of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance's sect management office, introduced by Senior Shao, who was in the late Nascent Soul stage. He said they had no backing whatsoever and were not afraid of anyone. He also said they were willing to give Senior Cang face and let us leave after we had mined for three years.]

Qian Zhenghao: Three years, he said three years!

hiss......

What's going on here?

Jiang Liu frowned upon seeing the message from Qian Zhenghao. He dared to use a letter of recommendation as a powerful symbol, but the other party dared to do the same?

Or... does the other party actually know a powerful figure in the late-stage Nascent Soul realm?

Could there be some hidden masters or dragons lurking around Bailu City?

He pondered deeply, but no matter what, the people had to be brought back. Fifty-odd people had been mining for the NPCs for three years; didn't he have any pride?

"I'm speechless. You're really getting me into trouble."

Jiang Liu sighed and sent a message.

Jiang Liu: Invite me into your vast world.

next second.

A notification popped up in front of him.

[Player Qian Zhenghao invites you to enter his world. Do you wish to enter?]

【Yes】

A flash of light, and Jiang Liu entered Qian Zhenghao's world.

As soon as he landed, he looked around and saw a scene exactly like his spirit mine. At various mining sites, he could see many familiar figures, mining with numb expressions.

Li Dongze, Yi Luoluo, Su Weiyang, the old principal... they're all here!

Surrounding them was a group of cultivators dressed in fiery red robes with fierce expressions.

He glanced around and casually clicked on an NPC's profile.

Name: Sun Hao

[Realm: Mid-Foundation Establishment]

[Affiliated force: Explosive Flame Sect]

[Position: Ordinary Disciple]

An ordinary disciple in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage?

Jiang Liu breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this. Ordinary disciples were at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, elite disciples should be at the late-Foundation Establishment stage, elders were at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and only the sect leader was at the Golden Core stage.

He can afford to mess with them; he's killed countless Golden Core cultivators already.

"Boss! Boss, you've finally arrived!"

When Qian Zhenghao saw Jiang Liu, he almost burst into tears of excitement. He threw down the shovel in his hand and ran over, crying out with a mournful face, "Boss, please get me out of here! I really can't hold on any longer!"

The last thing he did in his life was to be blinded by a spirit mine, and with the mentality of giving it a try and running away if he couldn't win, he gathered people to launch a strong attack on the NPC's spirit mine.

And then... it failed.

The teleportation point is disabled!

When you log off and log back in, you're immediately transported into the open world, and you can't get out!

If he had known that NPCs had the power to restrict players' actions, he would never have dared to do that!

The others from the Taichu Sect also saw Jiang Liu's figure. They were all very excited, their faces showing expressions of relief. They dropped their shovels and surrounded Jiang Liu.

"Sect Master, Sect Master, you've finally arrived!"

"Please get us out of here quickly, I'm so tired of mining!"

"Waaaaah, these NPCs are inhuman! They make us mine for 24 hours a day!"

The riot in the mining area alerted the NPCs guarding the area. A dozen or so Foundation Establishment stage NPC cultivators rushed over and shouted at the Tai Chu Sect members, "What are you doing? What are you doing?! Get back to work!"

"If you dare to slack off again, you'll be in for a beating!"

"Fuck your mother!"

With one arm around Jiang Liu's shoulder, Li Dongze seemed to be venting all his pent-up resentment as he pointed at the group of NPC cultivators and cursed, "Who do you think you are, a bunch of mass-produced monsters! In two months, believe me, I'll wipe out your entire sect!"

"The Sect Master of the Tai Chu Sect has graced us with his presence! Why don't you hurry up and have your sect master come out to greet him!"

After cursing a couple of times, he tearfully sobbed at Jiang Liu, "Good brother, you've finally come! My father and I have been waiting for you forever."

Even Yi Luoluo looked dejected, her little hands gripping Jiang Liu's clothes tightly, her face full of resentment as she glared at the group of NPCs.

Jiang Liu: "......"

Jiang Liu glared at them and said irritably, "Serves you right. You attacked without fully understanding the opponent's strength. Now you've brought this upon yourselves."

Although that's what he said, he was actually quite unhappy inside.

How dare NPCs bully players?

And he's a player from my sect!

You probably really don't know what happened to Lingyun Sect, Shenwei Sect, and Ghost Face Demon Palace.

The members of the sect are all my good brothers. They're willing to be my slaves, but they won't be slaves to others.

Master of the Explosive Flame Sect, come out!

Jiang Liu pushed aside the people around him and said in a deep voice to the NPC cultivators, "I am Jiang Liu, the sect leader of the Tai Chu Sect. Where is your sect leader?"

The disciples of the Blazing Flame Sect were stunned for a moment, looked Jiang Liu up and down, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Are you kidding me? You, a mere Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator, dare to start your own sect?"

"Sects established during the Foundation Establishment stage can now join the Taiyi Immortal Alliance. When did the Taiyi Immortal Alliance lower its entry requirements again?"

"Hmph, it's because of the existence of such trash that the reputation of us righteous cultivators has been declining."

"Yes, those trash sects should be forcibly disbanded!"

The disciples of the Blazing Flame Sect each delivered a sarcastic remark, causing Jiang Liu's face to darken instantly. He silently pulled out his Meteor Fall weapon.

He was originally a reasonable person.

His sect members forcibly seized other people's spirit mines; there is no doubt that they were in the wrong first.

But damn, I have such a bad temper!

The Blazing Flame Sect, right?

You have already chosen the path to your death!

Come on, let me see what loot you drop, and whether it's worth farming for.

"The Five Elements..."

Just as Jiang Liu raised his head and was about to chant "Meteor Fall," a middle-aged man in a fiery robe, exuding a calm and composed aura, walked towards him.

He glanced at the rising meteor, and suddenly unleashed the powerful aura of a Golden Core cultivator. His tone turned cold as he said, "So you're the junior recommended by Senior Cang to join the alliance? You really don't know your place! Didn't Senior Cang teach you to respect your elders?!"

The formidable power of the early Golden Core stage pressed down directly upon him, but Jiang Liu remained completely unaffected. His Meteor Falling Star paused slightly as he looked at the other party, frowning slightly, and pondered, "You are the Sect Master of the Blazing Flame Sect?"

“My sect members have caused you trouble. I apologize on their behalf. You have already punished them. It is time for me to take them back.”

Now that the main party has appeared, let's give the Taiyi Immortal Alliance some face and proceed with courtesy before resorting to force.

"Oh."

The Sect Master of the Blazing Flame Sect sneered, a look of anger appearing on his face. He said with disdain, "They forcibly entered our sect's spirit mine and surrounded and killed our disciples. You think you can just take them away like that? What makes you think you can act so arrogantly, you mere Foundation Establishment cultivators!"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu was slightly taken aback. He turned to look at Li Dongze beside him and asked in surprise, "You killed a monster in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage?"

"Hmph, it's nothing."

Li Dongze replied smugly, "They were just a bunch of mass-produced monsters. Our group of over fifty people killed more than twenty of them. If it weren't for the Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivators appearing later, we would have really taken over this spirit mine!"

Jiang Liu: 66666.

He was genuinely surprised. To be able to kill more than twenty mid-Foundation Establishment monsters with only the early Foundation Establishment stage cultivation level was quite impressive.

All I can say is that this player is truly skilled; fighting opponents of higher levels is as easy as drinking water for them.

If the sect members were allowed to develop further, they might actually be able to help him.

"Did you hear that?"

The Blazing Flame Sect Master said with a gloomy face, "You killed more than twenty disciples of my sect, and I only made them mine for three years as an amnesty. This is already giving Senior Cang a lot of face!"

"Boy, I advise you not to be ungrateful!"

As he spoke, he flashed a white envelope in his hand, waved it at Jiang Liu, and said arrogantly, "See this? This is a recommendation letter from Senior Shao, a Nascent Soul expert. His backing is no weaker than my Explosive Flame Sect!"

Can a letter of recommendation really give you powerful connections?

The intimidating power of the distraction master is truly impressive.

Jiang Liu glanced at the letter of recommendation in his hand, casually took out the head of the Ghost-Faced Palace Master and threw it on the ground, saying expressionlessly, "This is a Golden Core stage artifact, the head of the Ghost-Faced Demon Palace Master. I killed him."

"You've given Senior Cang face, can you also give Palace Master Ghost Face some face?"

The leader of the Explosive Flame Sect: "..."

The Ghost-Faced Palace Master in the late Golden Core stage?!

The Blazing Flame Sect Master subconsciously looked at the head on the ground, stunned for several seconds, his face showing disbelief. He exclaimed to Jiang Liu, "Impossible! You're just a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, how could you possibly defeat the Ghost-Faced Palace Master at the late Golden Core stage!?"

"This sect master does not believe it!"

The Ghost Face Demon Palace is a demonic force, and the Ghost Face Palace Master is a powerful cultivator who is on the Taiyi Immortal Alliance's wanted list, so he naturally recognizes him.
