Building a sect from scratch

Bluestone bricks, red tiles, large tracts of golden farmland, plump wheat ears hanging to the ground and farmers with glowing faces all tell the story of the prosperity of Taiping Town. Compared with the abandoned villages in Han Tiaotiao's screenshot, It's like two eras.

"Is this how the ancient world of cultivating immortals turned out to be?"

The Jade Emperor, who was playing a virtual reality game for the first time, looked at all this with wonder and sighed.

"Wake up, this is a game!"

As Wang Ergou spoke, he adjusted his non-existent collar, pulled out a perfect social smile, and walked towards an old man who was sitting under a tree at the entrance of the town enjoying the cool air.

"Uncle, do you know where there are people who moved from the village to the west?"

"Villages in the west? There are so many villages in the west!"

The old man squinted his eyes, first looked at Wang Ergou, then looked suspiciously at the Jade Emperor and Han Tiaotiao next to Wang Ergou, and asked: "Who are you? What are you doing in Taiping Town? What are you asking about this?"

"us--"

Just when the Jade Emperor wanted to speak, he was pulled behind by Wang Ergou, and then he spoke very smoothly: "We are disciples of the nearby Taiyin Sect. Master asked us to come to Taiping Town to buy some food. We happened to see an abandoned village on the way. , aren’t you here to find out what’s going on out of curiosity?”

After listening to Wang Ergou's words, the old man stared at him and remained silent for a long time. Wang Ergou's scalp was numb from the sight, and then he slowly said: "Are you monks?"

Wang Ergou nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "That's right, that's right, we are from the Taiyin Sect, just on the mountain not far to the west!"

The old man said coldly: "Go to the Immortal Residence to inquire about the monk's affairs. We mortals don't know."

Wang Ergou didn't take it seriously when he saw the old man's bad attitude. He still said politely: "I see. I'm sorry to bother you. I just want to ask you how to get to this fairy residence?"

"Keep walking along this road. When you reach the end, you will see the highest attic." The old man didn't embarrass others anymore, and even pointed to the distance with a stinky face: "I heard that the house over there seems to be He escaped from the west, but that was two months ago, but I don’t know if it’s the village you mentioned.”

"Hey! Thank you, uncle!"

Wang Ergou thanked them happily, then turned to raise his eyebrows at the Jade Emperor and Han Tiaotiao, putting on a proud expression of "it depends on whether the brother is good or not".

The Jade Emperor was dumbfounded and quickly typed in the team channel: "Awesome, Master Ergou!"

Wang Ergou also sighed: "It seems that this game is really planning to let us play cosplay! The more immersed in the plot, the smoother the tasks will be!"

The three of them were exchanging their experiences on the team channel while looking for the house the old man mentioned. It was not too far away, only a few hundred meters away. From a distance, they could see a middle-aged woman carrying a bucket of water. Walking hard to the farmyard.

"Look at me brother!"

When Wang Ergou saw that scene, his heart moved. He said a few words and ran over quickly.

"Auntie, do you live near here? Let me help you! It's not easy to handle such a big bucket of water!"

As he said this, Wang Ergou couldn't help but pick up the bucket, and then asked: "Where are you going? Is it the yard in front?"

The woman was startled at first, and then she looked grateful: "Hey, hey! What a good young man, how embarrassing this is!"

"Hey, it's just in time! I'm very strong, so it's easy to carry water!"

Wang Ergou started chatting like a fish in water: "Don't you have a well at home? It's so hard to carry water every day!"

"No! My husband also said that he wanted to dig a well, but there has been no one at Xianrenju. The report said that it would have to wait for more than a month! This has been more than two months! Alas, there is no The only solution is to wait!”

There was too much information in the woman's words. Wang Ergou called up the NPC conversation record and took a screenshot, sent it to the team channel, then looked for key information in the picture, and then asked: "I still need to look for it when digging a well." Immortal Residence?”

The woman asked in surprise: "Aren't you from Taiping Town? Since a year ago, when you dig wells, you have to ask the immortals from Xianrenju to help exorcise evil spirits!"

"why is that?"

The woman looked around, then lowered her voice and said, "It is said that some evil spirit has harmed the water source. You must have an immortal do something to exorcise the evil spirit before you can drink it, otherwise you will get sick and die!"

"oh--"

Wang Ergou looked like he suddenly understood, and then asked very naturally: "Then why hasn't your family drilled a well? Didn't you say it started a year ago?"

"Hi, my family is newly moved here. It used to be in Shixia Village in the west!"

…

Just when Wang Ergou and the NPC were having a lively chat, Han Tiaotiao and the Jade Emperor watched in amazement at Wang Ergou in the team channel who kept posting screenshots of NPC conversation records. Their familiar character and superb skills I admire the level of clichés.

"I remember Ergou seems to be from the Northeast?"

"Well...he said during the live broadcast before that he is from H City."

Han Tiaotiao couldn't help but sigh: "The Northeast is really full of E-people! You can even chat with AI!"

…

About an hour later, Wang Ergou said goodbye to the woman and left. When he found Han Tiaotiao and the Jade Emperor, he was surprised to find that they were sitting upright in an inconspicuous corner, with their eyes closed tightly, and there seemed to be There are also a lot of vague and strange "fogs" gathered together.

"What are you two doing?"

"Practice."

The Jade Emperor opened his eyes and answered seriously.

"Practice?"

"Take a look at the official forum, it just exploded."

Han Tiaotiao also opened his eyes and explained: "A player posted a post complaining about the bad planner. This game is so hardcore that you really have to cultivate yourself to become an immortal. You really need to understand the cheat book given to you by the NPC. Practice according to the above.”

"What the hell!?"

Wang Ergou was dumbfounded. He asked in disbelief: "Really cultivating!? Don't tease me. Didn't you agree that you won't be allowed to become a spirit after the founding of the country?"

"But this is a game world, and I don't know how this game works. It is said that it has really designed a sensing system that is different from the five senses. It can sense spiritual energy and can really guide spiritual energy. Uh, Old Han, then What did people say?"

Han Tiaotiao added: "Body Tempering, this game can really guide spiritual energy to temper the body. It is said to be a 'very wonderful feeling', these are the words of the second senior sister."

Wang Ergou felt numb all over - he just spent an hour doing the task and didn't bother to watch the World Channel. Why did he feel as if he had been disconnected from the Internet for a month?

"Second Senior Sister? Who is Second Senior Sister?"

The Jade Emperor looked envious: "Zhu suddenly advanced. She was the first female player to gain the favor of the senior sister and get the hidden props. That player is really fierce. Everyone is still trying to sense the aura, but she has already introduced the aura into her body." Yes, I heard she said it all depended on the hidden props given to her by Senior Sister, such as the practice manuals. Anyway, she was the first among our players to introduce Qi into the body, so everyone called her Second Senior Sister. "

"This world has finally become something I don't recognize. I know that what this game promotes is absolutely real, but it doesn't make it so real that you have to practice it yourself to become an immortal. I'm screwing screws every day at work, and then I come back from get off work every day." Do you still have to tighten the screws when playing games at home?”

After complaining, Wang Ergou glared at him and asked numbly: "Then are you two still doing tasks, or do you plan to continue to practice hardcore immortality in the game?"

The Jade Emperor suddenly stood up: "Do it! Of course we did it! Why are we waiting for you to find out the news? Besides, I am the emperor's talent. I can only introduce Qi into my body. It will happen sooner or later! There is no rush!"
