T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 530, Page 529: A Master Arrives
Nothing happened, really.

"Sigh, Mom, just believe me, it's just that I suddenly feel it's not quite right."

"Look, it was Hu Qian who brought it up herself, I couldn't do anything about it, could I?"

"Don't wrong me. What can I do if they don't like me?"

The prison guard gave his mother a perfunctory answer on the phone.

He believed his parents would eventually realize what was going on, so he decided to let them nag for now.

Orange Tea is very efficient. She spent some time researching and bought an ergonomic chair for the prison guard, replacing the gaming chair in his room that had been complained about as "suffocating" several times.

The jailer is a strange guy; he clearly complained about how uncomfortable his seat was, but he just wouldn't change it.

They clearly don't lack this little bit of money.

In Jiang Heyi's words, he lacks the initiative to change his living environment.

If someone lends him a hand and gives him a few pointers, he can quickly get back on track.

For example, the constellation of stars helped correct my regular sleep schedule.

For example, when it comes to fitness, after being urged a few times by Jiang Heyi and French Fries, he gritted his teeth and kept up, and after it became a habit, he persisted without stopping.

French Fries had joked with Jiang Heyi in private.

"It's not that he can't do it well, it's just that there's a voice in his head that keeps telling him that there's no need to make changes yet, that's probably it."

"Such people often evolve in an instant when their lives reach a critical juncture and a major change occurs."

"It seems quite appropriate to interpret his mysterious and unpredictable gameplay in this way."

The ergonomic chairs delivered the next day immediately pushed the gaming chairs out of the room.

A high-spec laptop has also appeared in the Orange Tea room.

Jiang Heyi and French Fries were both annoyed by the gift.

Orange Tea has always been a console user, owning only a laptop and never having owned a desktop computer.

After discussing the matter of the Stars of Proof during the day, everyone often gathered together to play some online games. This could be considered Orange Tea's introduction to games, in addition to the Stars of Proof.

Logically speaking, the prison guard should have been promoted to the next level immediately.

I mentioned it to him privately, and the jailer gave me a mysterious smile.

"It takes time to assemble the computer. You said it was a surprise gift, of course."

It was rare to see the prison guard so intelligent and quick-witted. Jiang Heyi patted him on the shoulder and gave him a encouraging look.

Compared to the frustratingly slow progress at the jailer's place, according to Jiang Heyi and his group's observations, the Four Primal Bodies and Nong Ya's side...

That would drive you crazy with anxiety!
The Four Primals, who are incredibly sensitive to changes in the team's atmosphere, seem to have degenerated into a block of wood when facing Nong Ya.

He was so oblivious to the hints and signals Nong Ya was giving him that he couldn't sense them at all.

Nong Ya said she would give him a small gift.

The four primitives replied, "I have money, I don't need to spend any more money, I can buy it myself."

Nong Ya planned to buy a brand new Elemental Mage DIY skin for the Four Primals and sent him the pictures for his approval.

Tetra also thought it was very good, so he immediately placed an order.

Nong Ya dragged him around like a tour guide, eating and drinking everywhere.

"Doing this is something that couples would do."

"Let's go somewhere else then."

"..."

Nong Ya asked, "Which outfit looks better on me?"

Tetraprototype replied: "The same one as yesterday."

"..."

Jiang Heyi believed that the Four Primal Bodies possessed the combat power to defend against a single Dominator.

Nong Ya made moves from all directions, but he defended against them all without missing a single one.

If he were truly pretending to be oblivious, that would be fine, but the fries subtly hinted at it, and he genuinely couldn't sense it...

Throughout the boundary between the real and the virtual, even the jailer and Orange Tea, who were completely oblivious to the situation, could sense that subtle difference, but he remained "untainted by the mud."

This prompted Nong Ya to find her bed and ask a direct question.

"Is it a cultural barrier or a translation error? Didn't I use Qunxing's translation?"

They've misunderstood the Proof of the Stars; even Holola would probably protest on behalf of her own translator if she heard that.

then……

"The problem is solved. Would you like to go to the Land of Three Domes?"

After several busy days, Holora returned with her head held high.

After confirming that everyone was alright, he immediately extended an invitation.

This was also a request made by everyone before the combined attack on the Wind Weaver.

Only Nong Ya looked blank, and after an explanation, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

Jiang Heyi asked, "What preparations do we need to make?"

"Once the door opens, just step over it; the passageways are already connected."

Upon hearing this, French Fries quickly went back to his room and printed out all the documents he had prepared earlier.

Only by witnessing it firsthand can one truly understand that the teleportation channel formed by the Starry Sky Jade within the Proof of the Stars is essentially a one-to-one replica of the real thing.

After passing through a dark passageway dotted with stars, and under Holora's protection, they walked for nearly a minute when a powerful repulsive force struck their chests from afar, causing their blood to surge and their faces to turn bright red.

"You are outsiders after all, so it's normal for you to have a reaction. You'll get used to it in a while."

It felt as if foreign objects were surrounding and squeezing me.

A white halo rippled across the field of vision.

The feeling of pressure finally dissipated, and under Holora's guidance, everyone slowly opened their eyes.

In an instant, the overwhelming lush greenery and the vast, surging spiritual energy rushed towards us like a giant wave.

They stood atop the mountain.

Beneath my feet lies rugged black basalt, with a few unidentified crimson grasses growing in the crevices.

The edges of the leaves gleamed with a faint golden light as they swayed gently in the wind.

In the distance, the towering mountains undulate like a giant dragon, and the azure forest surges with waves of varying depths under the sunlight.

The boundary between reality and illusion was so vast that no one had ever seen such vibrant colors.

Each leaf seems to be carved from the purest jade, with a visible pale green halo flowing between the veins, shimmering and sparkling under the light.

The jailer suddenly exclaimed, "What a pervert! He really is a pervert."

I was so captivated by the breathtaking scenery that I wanted to gaze into the distance and savor it all, but the jailer's words ruined the whole atmosphere.

Everyone followed his gaze.

A bird flew by, its wings shimmering with starlight, and its afterimages in the air rippled with tiny specks of light as it flapped its wings.

"..."

The jailer looked around at everyone staring at him.

"What's wrong? It really is a colorful bird. Don't you guys think its colors are particularly vibrant?"

"Taking you on a trip was a huge mistake," Orange Tea sighed.

Squid's lips curled into a forced smile: "I don't think so. I'll definitely bring the prison guard along on my trip. He's always up to something."

Jiang Heyi took a deep breath. The air that rushed into his lungs seemed to carry a refreshing sweetness, and each breath seemed to cleanse the turbidity deep within his flesh and blood.

"This is spiritual energy?"

Holola explained, "Spiritual energy, magic power, and primal energy are different terms used in different worlds. Given that you are still struggling to grasp the basics of magical power application, it is difficult for me to provide you with a more detailed explanation."

She raised her hand, enveloping everyone in a gentle breeze, and they followed her as she sped through the vast, sea-like forest.

“I once said that the world you live in also harbors such a possibility, but now that possibility has fallen into slumber, which is why you have been able to adapt to the magic of this world so quickly.”

Orange Tea said, "It sounds like anaerobic organisms quickly adapted to the living environment of aerobic organisms?"

Holola thought for a moment: "That's not accurate. You are more like a special form that exists between anaerobic and aerobic environments. The world that gave birth to you inherently has two possibilities, and it has also endowed you with the adaptability to move towards different possibilities."

"Whether an aerobic or anaerobic world arrives, you will be able to adapt quickly and will not face a mass extinction."

"In a pure world without magic, the sudden emergence of magic often brings destruction not from natural disasters, but from a great selection process."

Pale purple mist rises from the distant valley, through which the outlines of towering ancient trees can be vaguely seen.

The branches of those trees had a translucent, jade-like quality, and the crowns were covered with silver flowers the size of bowls. When the petals drifted in the wind, they seemed to linger in the air like fireflies.

"Your Star Gazing Sect is just ahead."

As she spoke, Holola led her team across the bustling Star Gazing Sect Square like a shooting star.

In the air, the jailer's dog-nose radar had already been activated.

"The fried chicken smells so good. These guys from the Star Gazing Sect are doing a pretty good job."

With the collapse of the Wind-Weaving Sect, the direct and indirect competitive relationships between many major sects were dissolved, breaking the pattern of complete estrangement that existed during the Tower World era. As a result, the Star Gazing Sect's fried chicken business flourished even more.

This is not a particularly technically demanding task. Skilled chefs can judge the preparation method from the color, aroma, and taste after tasting it a few times.

But Li Furan's moves were too powerful.

He made a grand announcement across the entire Three Domes of Land that the Star Gazing Sect was the originator of the fried chicken recipe.

Then, they further emphasized to the various practitioners who came to buy that the fried chicken of the Star Gazing Sect was made by practitioners.

The path of cultivation in the Three Realms is only in its initial exploratory stage. Experts from all walks of life can be considered to have the appearance of immortals simply by crossing great rivers.

Even drowning from exhaustion can be considered a "failure to seek the Dao".

Those who embark on this path are invariably proud and arrogant, feeling distinct from ordinary people who have not yet grasped spiritual energy, and have always disdained to conform.

Under Li Furan's leadership, the Guanxing Sect collectively regressed, becoming the only sect on the path of cultivation to provide services. Not only did they take the plunge, they also occupied the most important ecological niche.

Jiang Heyi described this situation as being another nobleman providing services to a nobleman.

The emerging class of cultivators will only grow stronger in the future. Sects that try to compete with the Star Gazing Sect on this path by reserving their seats early and entering late will likely suffer serious damage.

"Senior Brother Fu Ran, Senior Brother Fu Ran!"

Wei Shen rushed into the side hall in a hurry and saw his senior brother seriously making fruit juice. He couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.

"I'm listening, get to the point."

Li Furan is a hands-on person. From the renowned senior disciple of the Star Gazing Sect to the current "master of the sect that sells fried chicken," the change in his status has made him humble and flexible.

He never felt ashamed to work with his disciples.

Even immortals need to eat.

"Senior Brother Furan, someone... someone is coming."

"I can't see you. Can't you see I'm busy? I still have to adjust the soda flavor this afternoon," Li Furan muttered to himself, cursing, "Why is making soda so difficult?"

They carefully read the guide given by the expert, but they could only understand the individual words; they couldn't comprehend the combination of many terms.

"The visitor said he was a master."

With a sudden movement, Li Furan stood up.

The orange in his hand flew out and hit the disciple opposite him on the forehead, making him yell "Ouch!"

"Expert?"

“Yes.” Wei Shen felt uneasy. “But they all looked very young…”

"How young?"

"About the same age as you, senior brother."

After a moment of stunned silence, he grabbed Wei Shen and rushed towards the main hall.

Upon entering the main hall, Li Furan knew at a glance why Wei Shen was uncertain.

In their imagination, a wise man is usually an old man with white hair and a sage-like demeanor.

At the very least, he should have a piercing gaze, an imposing presence, and an aura of authority.

But these people in front of us were wandering around the main hall of the Star Gazing Sect, touching things here and there, muttering things like "exquisite workmanship" and "good carving".

Surely it's not that some wise person has been living in seclusion for too long and finds everything new and exciting?
He pondered deeply and concluded that only one of them was a true master, while the others were likely disciples.

I suppose the woman in the very center, with her wheat-colored skin, long, thin ears, and distinctive features, must be the master.

Despite his doubts, Li Furan dared not be negligent.

He bowed respectfully to the crowd.

Upon receiving the news, junior sister Wu Sitong rushed over and followed suit.

"I wonder which one is the true master?"

Jiang Heyi looked at Li Furan with great interest. He didn't expect that these people would not only use their real names to go online, but also create avatars based on real people.

The land of the Three Domes is inhabited by gods, and its main feature is that personal information is not protected, and people can introduce themselves anytime, anywhere, hoping to be "chased" in real life.

This perfectly matches their stereotype of cultivators in the Three Realms.

"We are all."

"what?"

Four words were enough to make the senior disciple of the Star Gazing Sect's brain shut down.

Jiang Heyi laughed heartily: "If you call everyone you meet an expert, then you're definitely right."

Just as Li Furan was about to kneel down, Holora snapped her fingers and held him firmly in place.

"Expert?"

"They guessed you would do this and gave me a heads-up beforehand. There's no need to kneel. If I kneel, our relationship will be over."

Upon hearing the word "fate," Li Furan nodded hurriedly.

He asked eagerly, suppressing his inner joy, "Does this sudden visit from a master require any assistance from our Star Gazing Sect?"

"All disciples of the Star Gazing Sect are at your beck and call at any time."

The debt of gratitude was so great that Li Furan was certain that Jiang Heyi and his group would not come to the temple without a reason.

Jiang Heyi glanced at Holora and smiled, "It's not that I need to cooperate with you in any way, but rather that I need to give you some compensation."

"Compensation?" Li Furan was startled. "What do you mean by that?"

Holora recounted the whole story of how the Windweavers wreaked havoc on the Three Realms, as well as the truth behind the demons' descent.

It was only slightly modified, concealing the truth of its origin as an alien being.

Upon hearing this, Li Furan remained deeply troubled for a long time.

"The battle between immortals..."

"Yes, the battle among immortals and the decline of the Star Gazing Sect are closely related to us. Now, only your sect has not received compensation. Tell me, what do you want?"

After hesitating for a long time, Li Furan swallowed.

"Could you demonstrate the entire recipe for the soft drink?"
