Xiwang County, Huagu Mountain.
From a distance, the cliffs are steep and undulating, while up close, the valleys are connected and the dense forests are stacked.
Huagu Mountain has average spiritual energy, and because of the magnetic field in the ground, it is often struck by lightning on rainy days. For serious monks, this mountain is full of bad luck. If you meditate in the wild, you will be struck by lightning. It cannot be chosen as a mountain gate site.
But for Jinglei Sect, Huagushan is a blessed land bestowed by God, and practicing Jinglei Sect's unique body-building method can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
BANG!!
With a loud bang, smoke rose from the main peak of Huagu Mountain. As the mountain protection formation was activated, dark clouds rolled in the sky and countless thunders struck down.
The noise and movement lasted for a cup of tea until the golden light faded away and the thunder clouds gradually dissipated.
The golden light slid out for a distance, turned back to Xiwang County, and floated towards the direction of Xiwang Palace.
A great harvest.JPG
After attacking three mountain gates in a row, Lu Bei looted a large amount of training supplies, the most important of which were the martial arts books and skill books.
Compared with his main and auxiliary skills, the inheritances of the three mountain sects are all mediocre. He would not practice them even if they were given to him for free, unless he paid him skill points and a few experience books to help him achieve perfection in his skills.
The reason why Lu Bei is so concerned about collecting martial arts and skill books is not because he has squirrel syndrome and likes to hoard a lot of useless things, nor is it because he bullies the weak.
If you have the free time, you might as well cover your face, take the sword of the Tianjian Sect elder and charge at the Huangji Sect’s camp in various states.
He collected all kinds of books with only one purpose.
The public beta is about to end, and with the official launch of version 1.0, players' personal panels have been updated and are more detailed than before.
For example, camp.
Lu Bei also has a personal panel. In the faction column, the country is Wu Zhou, the sects are Yuhua Sect and Lingxiao Sword Sect, and the alliance column is a bit messy due to the complicated national conditions of Wu Zhou.
They are roughly Jiuzhu Mountain, Dengtianmen, Xuanyinsi, Huangji Sect, and Tiejian League.
Among them, Xuanyinsi and Huangjizong pay monthly salaries and have training resources corresponding to their positions. Dengtianmen is a tomb-robbing organization that is hated by everyone but has never been defeated. Not only does it not pay money, but also requires membership fees to enter.
There are three items: country, sect, and alliance. There is also the concept of merit points and influence. Different levels of influence consume different amounts of merit points, which can be exchanged for different identities' skills, elixirs and other cultivation materials.
Each company has different KPIs, and the criteria for judging merit and influence are also different.
For example, Xuanyinsi and Huangjizong, one is a purely official military and political intelligence agency, and the other is an officially funded mountain sect for spiritual practice, each has its own performance and indicators.
In Xuanyin Division, martial arts is not an absolute indicator for promotion. It depends on personal contribution. According to Lu Bei's understanding, the more houses are confiscated, the higher the merit value and the greater the influence.
Relatively speaking, the Huangji Sect is simpler. Lu Bei holds the position of commander, and his target is the number of evil demons and monsters killed. He also has to work overtime at the end of the year to achieve good performance.
It sounds complicated. To put it simply, just do whatever you are told to do. Do more work and talk less. Don't talk nonsense unless necessary.
If you do this, your merit points and influence will naturally increase.
Lu Bei's reputation in Jiuzhu Mountain has reached the maximum level. He looks down on the martial arts of various schools and his merit points are completely useless. His reputation in Dengtianmen is zero. He has recharged too little and is at the level of an ordinary member. To Dengtianmen, it makes no difference whether he is there or not.
The reputation of Lingxiao Sword Sect...
His influence is currently negative. He is not hated by everyone, but he is also a rat crossing the street. When he mentions his name, a group of people will spit foul words at him. It is like a demon has descended, and he has consolidated the cohesion of Lingxiao Sword Sect with his own strength.
After that are the most important Xuanyinsi, Huangji Sect, and Tiejian League.
The Huangji Sect and the Iron Sword Alliance did not treat him as one of their own, and his reputation could not be raised. The reputation of the Xuanyin Division required the desperate help of the East Palace. The influence and merit points were enough, but the skills and skill books that could be exchanged were really average, far better than finding a few destined graves outside.
Lu Bei's chive garden is full of vitality. He treats all players equally, and his favorability is zero, because they are all outer disciples. It is impossible for players to exchange their skills for the skills of his personal disciples and inner disciples.
This is not good.
If a platform wants to remain competitive, squeeze out other platforms, and attract more members, it must invest a lot of resources.
Be bolder and try to monopolize...
This is not easy to explain in detail, and Lu Bei is not capable of doing it with his current abilities.
In short, some advanced skills must be put on the shelves. When the leeks see the strength of the platform and stay to work honestly, the principals of the universities can better exploit the surplus value.
Otherwise, there is no point in him building the platform. If you don’t know, you might think he is doing charity!
Before Lu Bei crossed over, he was exposed to version 3.0. He was not very clear about how the player's personal panel would be refined, whether the specific time was in version 1.0, and whether there were any patches in between, but he still made preparations in advance just in case.
Aren’t the leeks lacking skills? It’s simple, just work hard. As long as you shine, the principal of the university will not treat you unfairly.
As your level goes up, continue to shine and more advanced skills are waiting for you.
…
Two hundred miles southeast of Xiwang County, several figures stood in the air, led by a man and a woman. The man was tall and the woman was handsome.
The Grand Commander of the Huangji Sect, Zhu Xun.
The chief steward of Huangji Sect, Xia Yuchan.
The two of them, one inside and one outside, are the people in power of the Xianzhou branch of the Huangji Sect. They are a rare pair of Taoist companions in the world of immortal cultivation. They have a deep relationship over the years. So far, Zhu Xun has reached the great perfection of the Lianxu realm, and Xia Yuechan has reached the fusion stage.
It is said that when the two first met, Zhu Xun's realm was higher than Xia Yuechan's.
No one knows why it has come to this. All we can say is that Commander-in-Chief Zhu Xun has been working day and night to achieve sales targets, rarely taking a break, and has dark circles under his eyes.
The chief steward Xia Yuechan has a voluptuous figure, peach-like buttocks, and a radiant face. She is such a beautiful woman that even Lord Guan Erye would want to join Cao's camp.
However, although there are many prime ministers in the world, there is only one Dian Wei.
The four people accompanying him all had strange appearances, and one of them even looked like a human. It was obvious at first glance that he was not a good person.
A guest official of the Huangji Sect, a high-level thug who was recruited, and a professional cannon fodder who gave up his freedom in exchange for a suspended sentence.
The Western Prince's Mansion was attacked by the Ningzhou Purple Guards, and all the members were wiped out, from the ancestor Zhu Jingting to the Western Prince Zhu Qike and the Princess Zhu Qiming, all of whom became prisoners.
In addition, there were three masters of the Refining Void Realm who came to help.
When Zhu Xun received this information, he laughed out loud, exclaiming that it was a dog-eat-dog situation. Out of respect for his clan, he looked up to the sky, hoping that the people of Xiwang were safe.
As the chief steward, Xia Yuechan was much more reliable than Zhu Xun. After analyzing the pros and cons, he agreed to the West Prince's Mansion's request for help and led his troops here to intercept Lu Bei.
From the perspective of the Huangji Sect, the conflict between the West Palace and the Xuanyin Division was like a blessing from heaven, a rare opportunity that only occurs once in a century.
Also from the standpoint of the Huangji Sect, someone in Xianzhou attacked the Western King's Palace, abducted the Western King Zhu Qi Ke himself, and kidnapped three heads of the mountain sects. The Huangji Sect must intervene in this matter, otherwise it would be dereliction of duty, and it would be unacceptable to investigate it later.
Xia Yuechan asked a friend in Xuanyinsi for help and found out some information about Lu Bei. She learned that this man was the main force behind the confiscation of the East Prince's Mansion. She sorted out the national conditions of Wu Zhou and roughly guessed the cause of the incident.
Putting aside the fact that Lu Bei enforced the law across regions, stormed into the West Palace, and kidnapped the West Prince and the princess, the West Palace should bear the primary responsibility for this matter.
Sending people to assassinate political enemies failed, and instead led to a strong dragon crushing a local snake. No matter how this matter ends, the reputation of the West Palace will plummet.
Not to mention the distant ones, the royal family will definitely be hit hard.
Xia Yuechan and Zhu Xun discussed that a big incident had happened in Xianzhou and the Huangji Sect could not sit idly by, but Lu Bei was not someone to be trifled with due to his brilliant military record, so there was no need to detain him and they could just use courtesy first and then force to drive him away.
and…
This guy holds the position of commander, but he is actually one of us.
It's outrageous. Xia Yuechan has no idea what the purpose of the Council of Elders is, and feels that the national situation of Wu Zhou is becoming more and more complicated!
“People are coming!”
Zhu Xun looked straight ahead and tightened the commander-in-chief's token around his waist.
The golden light swayed and stopped. Lu Bei swept across the crowd and his sight stopped at a man and a woman. There was nothing much to say about the man, he looked a little weak, while the woman was as heroic as the man, with a graceful figure, and at first glance, she looked like a caring older sister.
Lu Bei touched his face and found the black cloth was still there. He immediately asked, "Who is this person? Is he a lobbyist from the West Palace?"
"Zhu Xun, the Grand Commander of the Xianzhou Huangji Sect."
Seeing that Lu Bei didn't look away and didn't see him in his sight, Zhu Xun snorted, "This is the chief steward Xia Yuechan, and also my first wife."
"So it's my elder brother and his wife. You are so polite. You are so polite."
Hearing that someone was already caring for his caring elder sister, Lu Bei decisively withdrew his polite gaze and asked in confusion, "May I ask the two lords of the Huangji Sect, what is the purpose of stopping the purple guards from the Xuanyin Division? If it is a dinner treat, how much did the West Palace give this purple guard for the appearance fee?"
Because the kidney-deficiency man on the opposite side had the commander's token on his waist, Lu Bei failed to take out his own commander's token, and was one level shorter, making it inconvenient for him to speak and do things.
Moreover, if possible, the six people in front of him have considerable experience, and he would like to take advantage of them.
"It's good to keep your mouth shut. Lord Ziwei is a wonderful person."
Zhu Xun smiled and said, "In that case, I will not hide it from you. The chief steward and I received a report from the Western Palace that there are demon cultivators entering Xianzhou. We have no choice but to come. Please give us some convenience, Lord Ziwei."
"What do you mean?"
"You've taken the person, and you've let out your anger. If you continue to do this, neither you nor I will be able to explain to the higher-ups."
Xia Yuechan took over the conversation and said, "Why don't we just stop here? You go back to Ningzhou and wait for the West King's Mansion to come and ask for peace. The two of us will take the blame for dereliction of duty and pretend that nothing happened."
Wow, you are worthy of being the Huangji Sect. It is a great fortune for the royal family that Wu Zhou has pillars like you.
To be fair, Lu Bei felt that Xia Yuechan's words made sense, and so did Hu San's plan.
After kidnapping Zhu Qike, he returned to Ningzhou and bribed Xuanwei Yutao and Emperor Zhu Qiyu, who acted as collaborators to redeem the hostages. He then extorted a large sum of money from the Western Palace, and then divided the stolen money among them.
Lu Bei was not satisfied with this. In order to win the favor of Fox Three and gain more bonus experience, he had to go on the trip to Xianzhou again.
At the same time, a figure carrying a sword stood in the mountains, looking at Lu Bei's location from a thousand miles away.
The elder of Tianjian Sect, killed Le Xian.
