Chapter 88: Status
As soon as they left the inn, they were greeted by sunlight and the air mixed with spiritual qi.
A few days ago, the inn landed in a clear part of the forest, as there is nothing for the players to stand on after they leave the inn.
So it was not hard for them to walk towards the city.
The group walked for 2 hours until they reached the first city in this new world: Jingzhong.
While walking, everyone was silent as they were all taking in this new world and their wonders.
There are many different plants and beasts here, and some of them look very strange, but each has a unique charm.
Due to their difference in appearance from their past selves, these animals or beasts are still in their initial stages, and many of them still cannot awaken their intelligence, which will happen after their rank reaches Rank 3, which is the Golden Core Realm Xu Qianghua is currently in.
But that is not important right now as these beasts still need a few more months to stand independently.
This all has to do with their ability to absorb nutrients and cultivation progress from anything they eat, and this is given to them by those stupid cultivators who have just started cultivating.
Due to this, a feud formed between the beasts and the human race, but it was not like the beasts had any choice, as all they saw was how these human cultivators slaughtered their relatives.
All of this happened because these cultivators, who are mainly players who had played this game before the world changed, still thought this was a game and were unguarded as they went on killing everything that came into their sight.
In addition, there were many heavenly plants. Although this planet had just been introduced to Spiritual Qi when the first bust of Qi was sent through it by the Primordial Spiritual Vein, it sped up the gestation period for many of the plants.
Xu Qianghua knew some of the locations for these plants, but he could not access them because they were hard to reach or had powerful guardians protecting them.
Some of the most popular ones were:
Phoenix Flame Flower:
Growth Requirements: To bloom, it needs to be surrounded by volcanic rock, fed with lava, and surrounded by a phoenix feather.
Properties: Enhances fire-based abilities and grants temporary immunity to fire.
Dragon Vein Bamboo:
Growth Requirements: It grows only along Draconic veins (a high level of Spiritual Vein), needs to be nourished with dragon blood, and requires constant high humidity.
Properties: Strengthens the body and increases physical resilience.
Heavenly Stardust Herb:
Growth Requirements: Needs stardust-infused soil, must be exposed to cosmic energy, and requires a guardian spirit with cosmic blood to protect it during its growth.
Properties: Enhances spiritual perception and increases spiritual qi reserves.
Ethereal Mist Flower:
Growth Requirements: Thrives in a foggy environment with constant mist, needs to be planted in soil mixed with similar spiritual herbs, and requires periodic exposure to dark energy.
Properties: Grants the ability to manipulate mist and enhances stealth abilities.
Divine Jade Orchid:
Growth Requirements: It requires soil enriched with jade essence, exposure to the light of a celestial phenomenon (like a solar eclipse), and watering with the tears of a divine beast.
Properties: Increases cultivation speed and enhances physical beauty.
Thunderstrike Vine:
Growth Requirements: Needs to be planted in a location frequently struck by lightning, requires soil mixed with powdered thunderstones, and must be watered with rain from a thunderstorm.
Properties: Enhances lightning-based abilities and grants resistance to electrical attacks.
However, these plants were only found in single digits, as they were usually eaten by a beast or died out because they were not in the required environment after the first burst of Spiritual Qi.
But these will happen after a few months, so he has enough time first to set up the Xu family and then send his clan members along with the Shadow members to find these plants, transport them, and replant them in the Xu family's subspace.
Once they reached the city, Xu Qianghua and his group did not spend time looking around, as they could do that after they were done with their work.
They separated as they all had missions to do in the city.
Xu Qianghua and a few of the Shadow members went towards the city hall, which was closed and empty.
This is because the World's Will did not appoint a city lord to any of the cities but instead set up missions to let the player who completes it first become the lord of that city.
The reason why Xu Qianghua came here instead of going to the Mansion he bought when the game had not merged as their transit point to their family subspace in this city.
It was because he wanted to become the temporary city lord because many perks are needed when setting up a city as one of the transit points for a family with a subspace as their main base.
Xu Qianghua and the Shadow members entered the mansion without any incidents as they had met the strength requirement of being about Foundation Realm.
As he was moving towards the meeting hall where the rest of the challenges were, he remembered that he had not checked his status since the world had merged.
However, this cannot be blamed as the status is something that cultivators use less and less as their cultivation realm grows.
This is because higher-level cultivators are much better versed in knowing their body and strength and do not rely on the status given by the World's Will.
This is only helpful for newer cultivators who know little about their strengths.
The cultivators still use all the other functions. Still, high-level cultivators are more focused on cultivating so much that they spend most of the time closed-door cultivating without much outside intervention.
'Status,' he said in his mind, and a blue transparent screen came in front of him with a 3D model of him still in his modern clothes.
