Building a sect from scratch.

For Fang Xianyu, "enlightening" players to Foundation Establishment or reviving Foundation Establishment players consumes negligible amounts of system energy points. However, raising a player from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core requires far more than double the energy.

In fact, if players are simply given the physical bodies of Golden Core cultivators, their strength will not be much different from Foundation Establishment cultivators. They will simply have more mana, more health, more control over spiritual power, and more acute senses. Other than that, there will be no significant qualitative improvement.

Because most players do treat this as a game, following the steps to complete tasks, level up, or fight monsters and run dungeons. Apart from a small group of people who know the inside story, no one else has ever considered actually "cultivating" themselves.

After all, people enter games to play games, not to become ascetics or ascetics!
So, without cultivation, relying solely on Fang Xianyu's repeated "enlightenment" to improve, even with high cultivation, one would only be a "giant baby" with unparalleled martial arts skills but no way to use them.

Therefore, if the corresponding levels of the Golden Core stage are opened up, not only will Fang Xianyu himself waste a lot of energy points, but the players' own level and strength will not change much, which is really not worth the loss.

But as players have been complaining on the forums, a cultivation game that restricts cultivation levels is like lighting a lantern in the toilet! People play cultivation games to have fun, how can you have fun if your level and cultivation are blocked?
Therefore, Fang Xianyu had to consider giving the players a little something extra on the surface.

Anyway, the drop rate of my "Golden Core" is based on probability. Players who are completely ignorant of the game's background, content, and various cultivation spells can basically avoid getting the "Golden Core." On the contrary, it's perfectly reasonable for story-driven, exploration-focused, and skill-training players to manually adjust the drop rate to maximize the use of their limited resources!
Even the clan leader's family doesn't have any surplus grain!

More importantly, Fang Xianyu also wanted to investigate the Sword Sect's affairs, and ideally, take the opportunity to control Liuzhou—a small continent without any large sects.

Once we control Liuzhou, we can form a pincer movement with Zhongzhou to target Tianyingzhou!

Therefore, Liuzhou's strategic significance is extraordinary, and the matter of Yinglong's former residence is a good opportunity!

In short, once the news of the "Golden Elixir" reward for completing the task was announced in the group, it spread throughout the entire server. Nietzsche's private chat was flooded with messages, with many whales asking if it was tradable or if the task could be shared.

"It really doesn't work, I tried, but I can't share it! I'm so sorry!"

Guantangbao apologized to each of his close friends and relatives, while Nietzsche went even further and changed his signature to "Sorry, this task cannot be shared."

The Sea Turtle Qi Pure ignored all the private messages and discussed the mission with Nietzsche and the others: "It's ten thousand miles away! How are we going to get there? And the map isn't that big of a place yet, is it?"

"There's a quest guide, and the quest location shown on the map... looks like a teleportation array!? Huh!?"

The soup dumpling exclaimed in surprise.

On the other side, Wu Ke, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly said, "Hey, could I ask one of my friends to do a quest with me? Although quests can't be shared, he wants to help out, and he's a reliable guy, with a combat power in the top 100 of the entire server!"

Nietzsche hesitated for a moment, but out of trust in Wu Ke, he nodded: "Hmm... that's fine, but we don't get paid, and once we join the group, we have to follow orders!"

Wu Ke quickly replied, "No problem! I'll have him apply to join the crew!" "Okay!"

No sooner had Nietzsche finished speaking than a group application popped up in front of him, and it was none other than the famous [Jade Emperor]!
As Nietzsche let the person in, he exclaimed in shock, "Good heavens! Your relative is the Jade Emperor?!"

Sea Turtle Qi Chun chuckled and teased, "Holy crap! It's actually the Emperor! Let's take a picture together! Emperor, I've kept the footage of you acting so well!"

[Jade Emperor] is considered a well-known expert player, not only because he was among the earliest players, but also because he, along with Wang Ergou, Zhu Tu Mengjin, and others, invented the first fancy trick – the Watt brand explosive pack. Moreover, the explosives factory named after Jade Emperor is still very popular among players. A pack of explosives costs only a few dozen coins, but its effect is enormous, making it an essential tool for novice players, offering extremely high cost-effectiveness!
The Jade Emperor, in a very familiar manner, started speaking on the microphone: "Hey everyone! I'm shamelessly here to freeload on this mission! I mainly want to see the continents I'm familiar with, so I'm just hitching a ride. But don't worry! I definitely won't hold you back! I've recently taught myself swordsmanship! It's terrifyingly strong!"

Wu Ke patted his chest muscles loudly, assuring everyone, "The Emperor and I are regular teammates in this dungeon, and we're pretty strong!"

Nietzsche said amicably, "No problem, we trust the top 100 on the combat power ranking. Welcome to join us! Just follow orders!"

The Jade Emperor quickly assured him, "I'll follow orders! If the commander tells me to chase a dog, I won't chase a chicken!"

“Okay, what I mean is, should we try to communicate with that possessed plant to see if we can learn more? What do you think?” Nietzsche said, then suddenly remembered that the Jade Emperor might not know the plot, so he quickly turned to Wu Ke and said, “Old Wu, tell the Emperor the whole story, and I’ve also taken screenshots of the contents of that wooden piece and sent them to the main group. The Emperor can take a look!”

"it is good!"

Wu Ke responded and began to privately explain the whole story to the Jade Emperor.

The turtle-like Qi Pure looked at his guild leader with an expression as if he were an idiot, and asked, "Guild Leader, are you an idiot? That's obviously a BOSS, its brain is broken, how can you communicate with it? And it's a plant! A tree! Can you talk to a tree?"

"You're the idiot! There are plenty of ways to talk to a tree!"

Guantangbao rolled her eyes and said, "I have a friend whose initial skill is [Staff of Rest], which allows her to exchange perception with plants, so you could barely call it communication!"

Huangzhucao, recalling something, added, "I remember there's a sugarcane spirit in our sect with an extremely high level? Since it's sugarcane, it should be able to communicate with trees, right? They're all plants anyway, I just don't know if it would be willing to help..."

"Hmm? Sugarcane spirit? I know that well!" The Jade Emperor, who had been distracted by the mic, couldn't help but interject, "I happen to be nearby, I can go over and ask for you! You're talking about the 'Bamboo Fairy,' right? The sugarcane spirit from the Spirit Sugarcane Garden?"

Emperor Bamboo Grass hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes! That's it! Your Majesty, you're so amazing, you even recognize it?"
