Chapter 258: The Increasingly Popular Legend

This monumental battle had stirred up no small amount of trouble, and as the original owner of this shop, it was naturally impossible for Mo Tianxing to have ignored it.

In fact, he had spent half of the previous day observing inside the shop, though he had consistently failed to secure a seat.

At roughly past eight in the morning, Mo Tianxing arrived early at the shop, which had completely transformed.

The moment he stepped through the door, he couldn't help but marvel in admiration: "First Qing Honglin was crippled, and then such a spatial array was laid down within the shop. This lad is truly something else!"

"It seems I really did underestimate the boy back then." He stroked his beard. "Shall we try this 'Legend' thing?"

"Old Man Mo, is this 'Legend' really as remarkable as you say? Even factions like the Black Demon and the Coiling Dragon Mansion have dispatched their people inside?" Accompanied by Mo Tianxing were a short, stout, white-bearded old man, and an old Daoist wearing a blue-black Daoist robe with a wooden hairpin pinning his hair.

"See for yourselves, won't you?" Mo Tianxing replied with a look of disdain. "You two old fogies insisted on tagging along, yet you refuse to believe it. What exactly do you want?"

Just as the trio entered the door, they heard a voice sitting near the counter shouting frantically: "Superb quality! A superb quality ring! Magic 0-3!"

Immediately, a crowd of people was seen swarming over!

When the trio saw the people gathering around, their faces suddenly twitched: "Isn't that Shopkeeper Tang?"

"And Shopkeeper Tao the Second? Why is he crowding around too?"

"Look at that middle-aged man in black? Isn't that... Black Demon?!"

"And that cultivator in grey, isn't that Wang Jin?!"

They watched as this group of people completely surrounded an unfamiliar cultivator dressed in black.

"Why does he look like one of Black Demon's Black Demon Guards?"

"Hahahahaha!" Just as the several onlookers were filled with bewilderment, they heard a burst of wild laughter from Black Demon. "A Hexagonal Ring with Magic 0-3, not bad! Come to Biqi Big Castle to trade with me, and you'll be rewarded later!"

"Thank you, Boss!" That Black Demon Guard instantly rejoiced.

"This..." The people of the Yuanheng Pavilion felt a wave of depression, hanging their heads in disappointment. "Why doesn't our people have such good luck?!"

"Elite of the Yuanheng Pavilion, heed my command! Fight harder!" Tang Yuan shouted with extreme envy. "Obtain a superb quality item, and everyone will be rewarded!"

"Yes!" The collective cultivators of the Yuanheng Pavilion instantly seemed as though they had been injected with chicken blood, their gazes fierce as they frantically searched for monsters.

Right at that moment, someone else began to shout: "I seem to have discovered a new place!"

"A new place?"

"Where is it?"

"Come on! Let's go take a look!"

"So there's actually a cave here?!"

"So many skeletons!"

Bursts of startled outcries rang out, and a swarm of people immediately rushed over all at once.

Mo Tianxing and the others gaped, watching this scene with slack-jawed expressions: "..."

"Go, go, go! Old Man Mo, don't block the way! Let's hurry into the world of this 'Legend' thing!" That short, stout, white-haired old man cried out with burning impatience. "Don't miss out on the treasures!"

They hurriedly went to get onto the machines.

Not just Mo Tianxing, but many cultivators in the vicinity had similarly rushed over upon hearing the news, wanting to taste what kind of benefits lay within this shop that even major factions flocked to!

Likewise, after a great battle erupted, a large number of players at the Jiuhua shop began to grow curious after experiencing yesterday's situation where they lined up for an entire day without securing a seat; they wanted to know what kind of charm this game possessed to make so many major factions unable to extricate themselves all at once.

Consequently, rogue players from all paths also began to continuously settle in.

Meanwhile, Fang Qi led the few remaining members of his guild to a magnificent city situated amidst the yellow sands.

This city was simply too magnificent, so much so that when Fang Qi first arrived yesterday, he couldn't distinguish at first glance whether this was Mud City or Sabac.

The towering city walls, even when viewed from afar, exuded a immense sense of oppression. Looking up from close proximity felt as though dark clouds were pressing down upon one's head; various war machines were mounted upon the city walls, giving anyone who saw it the illusion that no one could ever breach this majestic fortress.

Maps could be purchased from the locals. Of course, what could be bought initially were mostly rough sketches, and the locations of some places even possessed slight discrepancies.

Fang Qi had already visited once yesterday, so naturally, he had prepared the map long ago.

"Guild Leader! Are we going to grind levels today?" After experiencing the rapid ascent of their levels over the past two days, the few girls could be said to be highly invested in this.

At this moment, the four girls were already at level sixteen or seventeen, consisting of three mages plus Su Yao, a Daoist.

Fang Qi and Jiang Xiaoyue were at level 24 and level 21 respectively.

Spending time to carry their levels over these two days had wasted quite a bit of time, otherwise, they would be even higher.

However, this was also necessary. With the six-person party all around level twenty, Fang Qi could now consider some of the early-stage minor bosses.

But Fang Qi's slaying of minor bosses was not for equipment, but for skill books!

Yes, skill books!

Although such things were scattered all over the streets in the era before Fang Qi crossed over—to the point where no one would pick them up if thrown on the ground—at this time, every single skill book commanded an astronomical price! A new skill could elevate one's combat capability by several tiers!

Most importantly, things like skills could similarly be learned in reality!

Of course, Fang Qi didn't hunt for them because he wanted to learn them in reality himself. As the boss, relying on this to elevate his cultivation base was the proper path; as for supreme techniques, he already possessed the Myriad Sword Technique, the Divine Sword Lightning Controlling True Spell, and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Sword Array in numbers too vast to practice effectively, so it was truly best not to learn others.

Yet, just because Boss Fang didn't need them did not mean others didn't need them either.

Based on some experiences and metaphysics from before his crossover, Fang Qi chose this location.

Fang Qi and Jiang Xiaoyue had already traversed this place once yesterday, so they were fairly familiar with the route. He walked to a corner outside the city wall, then pulled out a brick, suddenly revealing that the ground beneath the city wall had sunk down, exposing a tunnel that allowed only one person to pass at a time!

The Secret Passage—a piece of metaphysics Boss Fang had read about in certain novels before his crossover—reputedly had a higher drop rate if it was a hidden spot and entered for the first time. Thus, Boss Fang had taken Jiang Xiaoyue to grind zombies here all night yesterday, yielding one Offensive Sword Technique, one Soul Fire Charm, plus a series of trash skill books like Basic Sword Technique and Fireball.

But quite clearly, Boss Fang still refused to believe in heresy today, swinging the chopped horse saber in his hand: "Go, go, go! I'll take you all to hunt for the dog book!"

"Dog book? What dog book?" The four girls were completely bewildered.

"The boss is talking about Summon Divine Beast!" Jiang Xiaoyue pouted her small mouth with a face full of disbelief. "The boss said the same thing yesterday, but the result was grinding all night without even seeing a single Summon Skeleton book!"

Jiang Xiaoyue was at least level twenty-one after all, yet aside from holding fire charms to pelt enemies behind Boss Fang, she didn't even have a skeleton; playing a Daoist like this was extremely awkward.

Boss Fang was also very embarrassed; a level twenty-four warrior, yet his Offensive Sword Technique was only at level one because he had just learned it.

Fang Qi scratched his head for a moment: "Can you trust me just this once? This boss has a scientific method for grinding monsters!"

"Believe me! Go, go, go!" Having spoken, he took the lead and charged into the secret passage.
