Chapter 680 (2/2)
”After half a year of blood, sweat and tears, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls has finally become a Top 3 guild of the CGL Guild Ranking. It is thanks to the ambition, hard work, and bond of our members that we were able to accomplish this feat. Today, we would like to invite all players with outstanding dreams to join us! Our requirements are: Level 140+, 3 or more Spirit-grade pieces of equipment, excellent control and Top 1000 placement in the champion arena! Players who meet all these requirements will be given higher priority. Also, we welcome people who are willing to continuously improve themselves in the aspects of education, morality, intelligence, and physical fitness. In short, people who are both moral and beautiful also get higher priority. If you would like to join us, then please add ”Chaos Moon” as a friend in the game and discuss the details with her. Please don't bother applying if you don't meet the requirements.
After that, I sent Chaos Moon a message and told her to restrict her friend requests to players who were Level 140 and above only. Otherwise, she would be accepting and rejecting friend requests all day. Even in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, we only had so many beautiful warrioresses, and Chaos Moon definitely fell under the category of girls with enough skirt chasers to make a fan club of her own.
Finally, it was time to log into the game!
Swhoos.h.!.+
After I returned to Sky City, the first thing I did was to check out the sales situation of Air Force One. The shop earned 10-30k RMB a day, which wasn't bad all things considered. Last time, I was able to make a killing by selling Strength Supplements, but the sale opportunity was gone almost as quickly as it had appeared. Most high-level players had enough high-level items to accrue 1400 Strength, so they no longer needed the potion to learn Barrier Break anymore. The days of ma.s.sive profit were a memory of the past already.
Next, I checked my skill ranks. My Spirit Cooking had just reached Rank 9, so I was quite a ways away from hitting Rank 10. I wondered how much HP a Rank 10 Saint Spirit Potion would recover? A ton of players were about to hit Level 150 very soon, and high-level consumables were going to be in high demand as usual. Yeah, I should focus on getting Spirit Cooking to Rank 10 first before trying anything else!
……
Rank 10 Saint Spirit Potion: Required Ingredients: Dragon Meat x30, Green Pepper x20, Divine Dayflower x5, Skyspirit Water x10. Instantly recovers 15000 HP and 7500 MP, and gradually recovers 25% HP and MP over 60 seconds. Cooldown: 60 seconds.
My jaw hit the floor when I saw the stats of a Rank 10 Saint Spirit Potion. Previously, I wasn't able to see the exact number of ingredients probably because I hadn't completed my sixth promotion and entered the Earthfire Realm. I could kill Earth Dragons or buy the meat straight off the hands of high-level hunters to obtain Dragon Meat. The latter method would be expensive, but it was still within my limits. Green Pepper and Skyspirit Water could both be obtained by high-rank herbalists. I wasn't sure about this ”Divine Dayflower” though. Without it, I wouldn't be able to create this Rank 10 Saint Spirit Potion.
I did a search in the forums, but couldn't find anything related to the Divine Dayflower.
Next, I searched on Baidu, but the search results still returned nothing.
Finally I searched on Google, and this time I got a hit.
Divine Dayflower: A herb in Heavenblessed. It is an immortal plant that grows in snowy regions. A Divine Dayflower is formed when divine dew falls from the heavens and lands atop a snowy cliff. It cures thirst, sharpens one's vision, and stimulates mental performance. A long time ago, it was a herb reserved for the emperor's use only. All information regarding the herb is censored in China because its h.o.m.ophone happens to match with the name of the mistress of a certain Chinese official.
I nodded. Now I knew where to find this Divine Dayflower. It was a plant that grew on the cliffs of snowy regions, meaning that I should probably search for it near the peaks of Dragonbone Mountain Range. Summits of this mountain range were said to be so cold that not even high-level monsters could survive there. I heard that miracles still happen at the highest places of the world. Oh well, no way to verify if that's true. I'll have to go myself and take a look!
After making a quick resupply and confirming that everything was ready, I went to the teleportation formation and teleported to the bottom of Sky City. I let out a shout and summoned the Armored Ice Qilin Horse and the Phantom Wolf King. Then, I got up my mount and raced into the forest, drawing the gazes of countless players—
”Wow, that rider looks incredibly handsome! Hmm? He looks very familiar for some reason. Is it just me, or is that Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand?”
”Holy s.h.i.+t, that's Falling Dust!”
”It really is him! Falling Dust is OP as of late, you know? I heard that he and his Earth Rank mount were f.u.c.king invincible during the battle of Immortality City. Not even Candlelight Shadow, Blue Sky Scar, and Tempest Shadow were able to stop him 3v1.”
”Yeah. Without him, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls wouldn't have been able to enter the Top 3!”
……
I smiled. It was a good thing that our efforts were acknowledged by everyone. After all, a good reputation was a vital requirement to sit on the throne of kings. As the saying goes, the path to world domination lies in conquering the heart, not the city!
The Armored Ice Qilin Horse was so fast that it only took me a short while to reach the foot of Dragonbone Mountain Range. From there, it took me less than ten minutes to ride to the middle of the mountain. It was then I encountered a couple of Mad Dragon and Flower Room parties. Most parties grinding at high-level maps like these were at least 100 players strong, unless they harbored suicidal thoughts.
”Stop! This map belongs to Mad Dragon only!”
A Level 137 magic knight suddenly shouted while riding up to me on his Corrosive Armor Earth Dragon. Motherf.u.c.ker, I hadn't even gone up to the peak yet, and someone was trying to bully me already! Was it because I hid my ID and equipment visual effects?
