7. Hsinchu Mirage
Illusion refers to a place created by man, which is fundamentally different from a special place that is naturally generated, such as a secret realm.
Usually those more powerful sects, wealthy families, and so on, will create one or two illusions like this, or for their disciples to try, or to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate spiritual grass, or to accelerate cultivation, and so on. But no matter what its specific role is, the illusion always exists on the Shenzhou, but it is only covered up by some means.
Hsinchu Fantasy is an illusion built by the old man of the bamboo forest with the support of Mu Wangfu.
This illusion is the elixir garden of the old man in the bamboo forest, and the main cultivation is the third-order elixir of jasper bamboo, thread flower, snake soul grass, and triclaw, which are the main medicine for refining the biling pill. The medicinal effect of this elixir is better than that of the third-order and third-grade Gathering Elixir, and the grade is the third-order and fifth-grade, but as the unique mastery of the old man in the bamboo forest, the Biling Pill naturally only knows the refining method of the old man in the bamboo forest, which is also the fundamental reason why Mu Wangfu is willing to fund the old man of the bamboo forest to build this illusion.
In exchange, the old man of the bamboo forest had to provide at least 10,000 Biling pills for the Mu Wangfu every hundred years, and even in terms of the refining power of the old man of the bamboo forest, this amount was almost two-thirds of the resources produced by this illusion realm. And only after satisfying the minimum supply to King Mu's mansion, the remaining ones are the private collections of the old man of the bamboo forest.
However, more than a hundred years ago, the old man of the bamboo forest was completely dead and unwilling to turn into a ghost cultivator, so he made another exchange with Mu Wangfu.
Mu Wangfu helped the old man of the bamboo forest spread the news of the Bizhu book, luring some people with other talents to come and explore, so that the old man of the bamboo forest had a chance to be reborn, and the price was that the old man of the bamboo forest wanted to hand over the opening method of the Hsinchu Fantasy Land and the refining method of the Biling Pill. Afterwards, if the old man of the bamboo forest succeeds in rebirth, then he must also return to King Mu's mansion, of course, this is another transaction.
Ye Kong knew all the secrets that these outsiders didn't know at all.
Because, this script story was set by Ye Kong himself.
For others, this is an elixir garden illusion, but for Ye Kong, this is just a copy. And the story introduction around this copy is naturally just a copywriter and script, nothing more.
It's just that Ye Kong didn't expect that he would really come to the game world he designed one day.
It may not be accurate to say that it is a game world.
In the years since he came to this world, Ye Kong has fully understood that this is not the game world he designed, but a different world with a high degree of similarity to the game he originally designed. He knew many exercises, secret realms, illusions, and even major sects, families, legendary figures, etc., but he also found that there were still many places and things in this world that he didn't know, didn't understand, and didn't understand.
Over the years, Ye Kong's mentality has changed from hesitation, confusion, and fear at the beginning to curiosity and curiosity. He couldn't wait to explore everything in this world and understand everything in this world, but it was a pity that it was difficult for him to really touch this world as a ghost cultivator, and he couldn't even go to many places, so Ye Kong was so eager to have a real body.
A real body that belongs to him.
But it was not easy to obtain such a body, because many of the materials were obtained in copies that he could not enter.
At least, there is no way for ghost cultivators to enter.
And it wasn't until he met Qingyi that the vague idea in Ye Kong's mind finally became clear.
Since he couldn't enter these places, and cooperating with others was full of trust crises, why not just train a few disciples himself?
There is a saying: If the master has something, the disciple will obey it.
However, all of this must be done after the pursuers are freed.
Looking at the various mature spirit plants in the Hsinchu Illusion in front of him, Ye Kong's face finally showed a long-lost smile.
He quickly took down Wu Chi's bag - this kind of space reserve, not to mention that it is a treasure that can be imagined but cannot be obtained for mortals, even if it is a famous family, it may not be owned by a famous family, and the owner of this corpse like Ye Kong does not have this kind of high-end goods. However, after all, the Immortal Sect is one of the sects standing at the top of the Shenzhou Continent, so even a servant disciple will of course have this kind of space reserve props.
Of course, the quality can't be any better.
The storage space of a standard bag is one cubic meter, which can reduce the weight by 80 percent. The Immortal Sect's standard bag for servant disciples was two cubic meters, but it could only reduce the weight by fifty percent—this was sacrificing weight to increase space. Maybe this weight loss is not very friendly to ordinary people, but for monks who have entered the Xuan Realm, it is within the acceptable range.
After Ye Kong directly threw away all the useless things in the two storage bags, he quickly ran to a jasper bamboo.
These jasper bamboos are about 30 meters high, the bamboo poles are extremely slender, and the whole body is green and bright like high-grade jade, which is the sign of the maturity of jasper bamboo: it takes 60 years to mature after jasper bamboo is planted, and then it takes about 50 years to be full of aura and give birth to jasper bamboo hearts.
What Ye Kong wants to pick is this jasper bamboo heart.
I saw that he quickly swung his knife and cut a crack in the jasper bamboo, and a piece of jade about the size of a thumb was exposed in front of Ye Kong.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Kong quickly reached out and took out this piece of jade-like jasper bamboo heart.
The next moment, the emerald green color on the entire jasper bamboo quickly became dim, and then countless cracks spread all over the bamboo poles, and then in just three or four seconds, this jasper bamboo seemed to have been weathered for hundreds of years, completely dissipating in front of Ye Kong, leaving only a jasper bamboo seed.
Ye Kong ignored the seed, allowing it to fall to the ground.
Ye Kong glanced at the jasper bamboo heart in his hand, but his brows couldn't help frowning: "Only a hundred years of medicinal effect? …… In this way, the medicinal materials from the last time were collected by the people of Mu Wangfu? ”
A sense of crisis suddenly enveloped Ye Kong's heart.
At the beginning of the game, even if the player entered the Hsinchu Fantasy Realm dungeon, it was impossible to collect these spiritual herbs, it was just the background of the dungeon. The real reward for clearing Hsinchu Fantasy is a weapon made of jasper bamboo, which is the first spiritual weapon that players can get their hands on in the early stage - this is a weapon specially prepared for monks who have entered the Xuan Realm.
But now, because they are in the real world, these spirit plants are naturally in a state where they can be picked, and there is absolutely no so-called system rule protection to prevent others from picking. But in the same way, it is not without a price to want to pick these spiritual plant medicinal materials: this is the medicine garden of Mu Wangfu, you can pick them if you want, but you must be mentally prepared to withstand the wrath of Mu Wangfu.
Ye Kong only hesitated for a second, then casually put the jasper bamboo heart into the bag, then turned around and walked towards the next jasper bamboo, and quickly took out the jasper bamboo heart of the second jasper bamboo in the same way. As far as he was concerned, as long as he didn't run into the people of Mu Wangfu on the way to pick these spirit plants, then the anger of Mu Wangfu was not within his consideration, and it was really hard to say who this anger would end up burning on.
After all, behind Ye Kong, there was still a chaser of the Immortal Gate.
Only this time, when the second jasper bamboo weathered and dissipated, a green figure suddenly rushed towards Ye Kong.
Bamboo Spirit!
As a dungeon, Hsinchu Mirage will naturally have gatekeepers such as dungeon bosses.
However, as a novice village-level dungeon, the BOSS of Hsinchu Fantasy will naturally not be much stronger: the strength set in the game at the beginning is equivalent to the fifth layer of Xuanxuan. After all, Hsinchu Fantasy is just a copy that is allowed to enter the fourth layer of the mystery, so the boss of the guard level will definitely not be too strong, especially for players who have just left the novice village, it is impossible to have any good equipment and martial arts cheats.
But in fact, there is a completely different difference between the real world and the game world, so the real strength of this bamboo spirit is not the fifth layer of the Xuan Xuan, at best it is equivalent to the level of the fourth layer of the Xuan Xuan, which has been deeply experienced in Ye Kong's wandering in the past time.
And the bamboo spirit in front of him was just confirming Ye Kong's thoughts once again.
So when he saw this bamboo spirit, Ye Kong was not surprised and rejoiced, and took the initiative to meet it.
In the face of Ye Kong's active attack, this bamboo spirit did not dodge or dodge, but directly condensed a weapon similar to a spear, and then stabbed straight at Ye Kong, not even having the strength to change his moves.
Seeing that the spear was about to stab himself, Ye Kong snorted coldly, and the short-handled knife in his hand suddenly exerted a force, and slammed it on this bamboo spear with extremely fast and fierce speed and strength, and the powerful force even shocked this bamboo spirit to hold his weapon steadily, and without any suspense, he was sent out by Ye Kong's knife.
The Quartet does not move!
This is the defensive move in the "Four Square Sword Technique", with abundant strength to directly launch a counterattack-style defense, if the opponent's strength is insufficient, then it is likely to be directly disarmed: just like the current situation of this bamboo spirit is as embarrassing.
If it is an ordinary person, or a person with a little wisdom, he will definitely choose to avoid the edge of the weapon at this time.
But this bamboo spirit, who had no wisdom at all, didn't understand these things at all, even if the weapon was knocked out, he still rushed straight towards Ye Kong without any change. In this regard, Ye Kong just turned his wrist, and the short-handled knife in his hand turned the blade and stabbed towards the bamboo spirit - at this moment, in the eyes of outsiders, it was as if the bamboo spirit himself was committing suicide.
There was no suspense, when the blade of the knife penetrated the body of the bamboo spirit, Ye Kong also instantly let the true yuan attached to the blade explode, directly blowing up the body of the bamboo spirit, turning into a wisp of green smoke and burrowing into the land.
However, Ye Kong's face did not show any joy, because he knew that this bamboo spirit could not be killed at his current level.
Perhaps, if he was not trapped in the physical body, but appeared here as a ghost cultivator, then he could have killed this bamboo spirit. And right now, with his strength to enter the Xuan Realm, he can't kill such a creature that belongs to the spirit at all, at most it will only make it temporarily injured and dormant, but with the rich aura provided by the Hsinchu Illusion Realm, it will be resurrected after an hour at most.
Therefore, Ye Kong did not waste time, he quickly collected all kinds of mature spirit plants in the phantom realm, and in the blink of an eye, one-third of the spirit plant medicinal materials all fell into Ye Kong's bag. With these materials alone, even if there is only a fifty percent success rate, he can refine close to three thousand Biling Pills, and Ye Kong is quite satisfied with this.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were still a few quarters of an hour left in the resurrection time of the bamboo spirit, Ye Kong quickly came to the center of the Hsinchu Illusion.
There is a small courtyard here, which was originally used in the game as a place for players to receive the rewards of the final clearance.
However, as Ye Kong expected, he did not find the spiritual weapon made of jasper bamboo here, obviously after the death of the old man of the bamboo forest more than a hundred years ago, when Mu Wangfu sent someone to pick the materials of the Hsinchu Illusion for the first time, he took this spiritual weapon away.
In this regard, Ye Kong was not disappointed.
Because the spirit weapon didn't have much of an increase for him, it was just an increase in lethality by a few points. And more importantly, Ye Kong used to be the chief planner of the game "Legend", and he knew very well where he could still get the spiritual weapon, so he was not in a hurry about it.
After getting enough harvest, Ye Kong left here without hesitation.
At this time, it was already dark outside, and Ye Kong didn't want to find himself after waking up. Moreover, coupled with the fact that people who already knew that Mu Wangfu would come to Hsinchu Fantasy Land at any time, Ye Kong didn't even want to stay in Wanzhulin now. But fortunately, after solving Wu Chi's pursuer, Ye Kong believed that he had two more days to escape, and even if that Immortal Sect disciple wanted to chase and kill him again, I am afraid it would not be easy to find his traces.
