I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

The delegates qualified to participate in this meeting all come from large organizations.

A few of these grassroots forces, in terms of the number of top-tier experts alone, are no less than, and may even surpass, those in smaller cities like Baijiang. Several forces and representatives present only rose to prominence during the city's fall, but most already held considerable social standing before the fall.

They were well aware of the situation in the three cities of Baijiang.

Not to mention General Wang.

General Wang vaguely remembered that not long ago, or rather, more than half a year ago, he had heard news of the disaster that had struck Baijiang City and the deaths of some Transcendent Realm cultivators. At that time, although Baijiang City was not exactly in dire straits, its combat strength was far from sufficient, and Transcendent Realm cultivators were practically splitting themselves into two.

He felt that even the three cities might not be able to produce the "two extraordinary individuals" they proposed.

Or, even if they could afford it, the extraordinary beings wouldn't be willing to travel thousands of miles to get involved in this project, which, despite its immense opportunities, also carried considerable risks. Tiannan City understood the difficulties faced by the three cities, but it was still necessary for them to contribute manpower and resources.

If the Great Xia only has Tiannan City as a place where people emerge from the world, this will be a huge disadvantage.

General Wang asked, "Are you sure that your Baijiang City can send out more extraordinary beings, three? Four? These extraordinary beings will likely have to leave Baijiang City for at least a few months."

He didn't say it too directly, but he clearly expressed doubt.

Deputy Director Liu, along with several other representatives of various factions who were relatively familiar with the situation in Baijiang and the other two areas, also looked puzzled.

Is Yan Xiangtian lying?

But Yan Xiangtian is a veteran within the system, so there's no reason for him to spout nonsense in this kind of setting!

They couldn't understand it.

Director Dai was surprised for two seconds. Then, he and Jiang Xun exchanged a glance and both saw the thoughts in each other's eyes.

"I've heard that there are many dream sufferers in the three cities of Baijiang who often cultivate in safe zones."

"The safe zone has several cultivation wonders, and the cultivation environment is unparalleled. Moreover, the shopkeeper has invested a lot of resources in training newcomers... When he visited the safe zone before, he was so amazed that he spent all his time observing and thinking about how to cooperate with the safe zone. As a result, he forgot to ask Lao Yan about the situation in the three cities."

Now that I think about it, the top-tier combat power of the three cities is already sufficient? That's not impossible!

Director Dai began, "Deputy Director Yan, could you briefly tell me about the situation in your Baijiang City?"

Yan Xiangtian didn't speak directly, but instead waved to the back of his head.

Lu Qing, Bai Yu, Long Xingzhou, and Fen Huo walked over, subtly releasing their extraordinary auras.

Four extraordinary individuals!

The powerful figures familiar with the situation in Baijiang City were immediately surprised.

Baijiang City certainly has far more than four Transcendent Realm experts, but given Baijiang City's situation, it is absolutely impossible to get five Transcendent Realm experts to leave the city and go to other places!

The remaining superhumans are insufficient to defend the entire Baijiang River.

Among the extraordinary individuals, Long Xingzhou was an old acquaintance, recognized by many present. However, the other three were unfamiliar faces. "The Baijiang City Countermeasures Bureau has promoted three extraordinary individuals in the past six months?"

"No, I think there are more than six! That's how Lao Yan and his group were able to come to Tiannan so easily."

Actually, it was because they went through the safe zone. Otherwise, no matter how abundant Baijiang City's combat power was, Yan Xiangtian wouldn't have wasted several months of his time as a Transcendent Realm expert just to come and show off his strength.

Although seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of the representatives from Tiannan City made Yan Xiangtian feel quite relieved.

Yan Xiangtian knew all too well about these extraordinary individuals in Tiannan City.

Not all, but at least most people look down on "rural places" like the three cities of Baijiang. These people also strongly oppose Tiannan City spending manpower and resources to support the three cities of Baijiang, because they are afraid that they will be selected to be stationed in the countryside.

Now, Yan Xiangtian is about to deliver a resounding slap in the face.

No, this is called restoring the prestige of Baijiang City.

Yan Xiangtian continued, "Currently, Baijiang City has twenty-seven extraordinary individuals, some of whom are geniuses capable of fighting against mid-stage extraordinary individuals with only early-stage extraordinary abilities. I believe they would be happy to go to the Land of Revelation."

Zhou Huai'an said, "There are now more than twenty extraordinary individuals in Lin Dong City."

Wang Tieshan: "Our Chongshan City is also like that."

General Wang & Director Liu: "!!!!"

In the past six months, Tiannan City has developed rapidly, almost by leaps and bounds, but unexpectedly, the three cities of Baijiang have developed even faster!

If Yan Xiangtian had said that directly, they would inevitably have doubts. However, the dozen or so people who came with Yan Xiangtian and his two companions were indeed extraordinary experts.

That makes it undeniable!

Moreover, judging from Director Dai's expression, he seemed to have known about it for a long time.

Director Dai said, "The personnel in each city will be selected by the respective cities themselves. There is only one requirement: they must be people who have fallen into a dream in the present world, and they cannot be lost people."

"In your three cities of Baijiang, I estimate that each city can have a maximum of four extraordinary slots."

Yan Xiangtian nodded.

There were four extraordinary individuals, and if you include those who accompanied them, there would probably be six or seven people in total.

This is still not a lot of pressure.

He just said that there are twenty-seven extraordinary individuals in Baijiang City, and that number is accurate. However, the number of extraordinary individuals in Baijiang City is still growing rapidly, and it hasn't even reached its true peak yet.

To know,

Previously, among the twelve captains at the peak of the Third Refinement Realm in Baijiang City, only Bai Yu, Li Yunfeng, and Lu Qing possessed the qualifications to strive for the Transcendent Realm. The vast majority of the other captains had deficiencies in some aspect due to insufficient foundation or injuries sustained in their early years. Now, however, the Baijiang Countermeasures Bureau has purchased numerous treasures from the safe zone, such as purification potions, pure essences, and century-old tree hearts. After this period of adjustment, many captains' hidden injuries and depleted vitality have been restored, and their physiques have also improved.

During this period, more and more captains have been involved in extraordinary rituals.

Many new talents are also emerging.

"This Land of Revelation will not open for several more months. By then, the number of extraordinary individuals in my Baijiang City will be far more than twenty-seven."

Yan Xiangtian had a gut feeling.

These four spots are not a difficult task, and there is no need to forcibly assign any extraordinary person to them.

On the contrary, there will be many extraordinary competitions.

There is no doubt that the Land of Revelation holds great opportunities!

"Now that Baijiang City has sufficient combat power, we should focus our energy on researching what opportunities the Land of Revelation holds." "Hmm, we still need to discuss with the shopkeeper to see what selection method we should use."

What kind of great opportunity does the Land of Revelation hold?

Shi An stroked his chin.

Rumor has it that the Land of Revelation was briefly opened once, and several powerful figures from Tiannan City entered it and discovered a very valuable wonder—the Tower of Enlightenment.

The version he initially heard was that within the Tower of Wonders, those at the Third Refinement Realm could receive revelations from extraordinary rituals, and those at the Great Perfection Realm also had the opportunity to obtain information about ascension.

Actually it is not.

"The revelation of the Third Refinement Realm isn't of high value; Tiannan City wouldn't bother with it. And now, those at the Great Perfection of the Transcendent Realm can't even enter." "But there's reliable information that among the few Transcendent beings who entered the Land of Revelation, one obtained the inheritance of a Divine Refinement Technique!"

"The Spirit Refining Technique is an extremely rare method that can temper the spirit and continuously break through the upper limit of spiritual power. It is estimated to be an excellent-grade incantation. Mastering the extraordinary Spirit Refining Technique will give you a very high probability of breaking through to a higher realm in the future."

This is also the fundamental reason why many extraordinary individuals in Tiannan City covet the Land of Revelation.

Moreover, the Land of Revelation is vast, and its depths hold countless opportunities and treasures.

It is said that it also possesses many fragments of wonders—if these fragments could be brought out, they would be enough to significantly enhance the foundation of a power. Shi An didn't seem to care much about the fragments of wonders, the opportunities, or the Tower of Enlightenment.

He's very laid-back.

His current strength and influence are entirely due to the safe zone, not external forces →_→.

He wasn't as covetous or eager as the powerful figures of Tiannan City.

However, with such a major event, his safe zone will inevitably be involved, whether actively or passively.

Shi An didn't really care much about the opportunities within the Land of Revelation, but...

"This Land of Revelation, isn't it also a region of the Nightmare World? It's one of the nightmares."

"In that case, what kind of spoils can we obtain by conquering this very special region?"

This is what he truly hoped for!

Therefore, the store manager also needs to find a way to enhance his team's combat capabilities.

After the meeting in Tiannan City ended, apart from Yan Xiangtian and two others who remained in Tiannan City, Bai Yu and the others had all returned to their respective cities.

They were just there temporarily to fill in the gaps.

The three cities certainly have an abundance of powerful individuals now, and the strange tide was easily defeated as soon as it appeared, but that doesn't mean they can be idle. When they're not working, they can cultivate!

In the past, extraordinary individuals could only absorb dream crystals or forge their extraordinary talents for cultivation, which brought them very limited improvement.

Now, they can go to the Thousandfold Pavilion to cultivate, to the Martial Arts Arena to spar, to the Martial Arts Arena to hone their spells, to the Library to study, and they also have to conquer Nightmare to earn some contribution points.

For captains like Bai Yu, their workload in the Countermeasures Bureau has been greatly reduced, but the tasks in the safe zone have filled the gaps in their workload.

Everyone's time is precious.

At the same time, Shi An arrived at the furnace refining plant.

There are basically no employees in this factory, only Fa Gui and Luo Susu occasionally come to pick up goods, but there are still some "human figures" here. These are the "android employees" that the alchemy factory has brought with it, including operators and security guards.

Shi An tested the strength of the android security guards and found that they were comparable to ordinary superhumans.

That's outrageous.

Tiannan City has extraordinary mechs, and he has android security guards here. It's just a pity that he doesn't have the blueprints.

Shi An received three medicine boxes from an android, each containing a very precious medicine.

"Awakening Potion (Excellent)"

"Description: A potion that awakens the spirit and ignites the fire of the mind, greatly increasing the user's mental strength. This is the standard version of the awakening potion, which can be used up to three times. Each use can increase the user's mental strength by 30 to 50 units, depending on their individual potential."

30~50?

Shi An stroked his chin.

A Great Perfection cultivator possesses approximately 500 units of mana reserves.

This is the standard that the Great Xia Dynasty already had, or rather, the standard of ancient civilizations unearthed through archaeological excavations. His safe zone's curse power detector also uses this standard.

"But the spiritual power of extraordinary individuals is often far inferior to that of magical power; it only increases naturally when they break through their realm." Shi An had data in his hand.

The spiritual power of a person at the Great Perfection of the Extraordinary is approximately 100 points.

Of course, those who have reached the Great Perfection of the Extraordinary are people of high rank and power, and they have often consumed many precious medicines. Their spiritual power is usually around 110, 120, or even 130.

Shi An secretly tested it, and among the extraordinary individuals who had been to the safe zone, Director Dai's mental strength was only 139.

The person with the highest mental strength is the Master of the Pavilion, with a score of 151.

visible,

"This mind-awakening potion can even provide a qualitative improvement for those at the peak of the Transcendent Realm!"

"If you take three doses, you can increase your mental strength by at least 90 points, and at most, your mental strength can double!"

But Shi An didn't really want to use it.

I don't really want Little Blood Four Ghosts to use it directly.

This was just a standard version of the potion, after all; he couldn't concoct a more perfect one, and besides, he no longer had any Thousand-Refined Awakening Grass. "I'll keep the potion for now; there's no rush."

"Next, let's look for the main materials, and of course, areas like the library."

Shi An directly edited and posted the task, offering a large reward of contribution points for providing any information about the Thousand-Refined Awakening Grass. After thinking for a moment, he added another reward.

Each one obtains the right to purchase "Awakening Potion (Superior)".

Shi An posted the task and then used his permissions to pin it directly to the top.

quickly,

A major quest message appeared in the quest lobby, sweeping across the entire safe zone and spreading to the various Nightmare factions in Baijiang City, Red Maple Town, and beyond: "Finding the Thousand-Refined Awakening Grass? It's just a quest to find materials, yet the reward is so generous?"

"Providing a verified message will earn you at least 1000 contribution points. The more reliable and complete the message, the greater the reward! Wow! I'm going to search in Nightmare difficulty right now! If I find just one, I'll be rich!"

"Wait, what the heck is this 'right to purchase' for the 'energizing potion'? It's just the right to purchase it?"

Some people thought that even a mere right to purchase could be used as a reward.

But when they saw the "Excellent" label next to the potion and clicked on it to see the details, the casual observers were bewildered, while the knowledgeable ones fell silent. "It can increase mental strength by 30-50 units?"

A resident of Red Maple Town, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, immediately ran towards the gate of the safe zone; he needed to notify the city lord!

In the three cities of Baijiang, Lindong, and Chongshan, various forces and powerful figures have also received the news one after another.

Everyone was shaken.

No one doubted it, because the reputation of the safe zone speaks for itself.

People were simply shocked:

"The store manager actually has such a treasure?!"

"The shop manager actually went out with such a treasure?!"

The extraordinary individuals in the Three Cities Countermeasures Bureau, in particular, had already heard that mental strength was related to the breakthrough of the Ascension Realm.

Of course, they are still far from reaching the Ascension Realm, so they don't need to think that far ahead. However, the increase in mental strength directly affects the range of control over their innate abilities. Their combat power and perception abilities can be greatly improved.

Who wouldn't want this?

"But where can we find such a precious medicine as the Thousand-Refined Awakening Grass?"

Its appearance, characteristics, and possible locations have been described in the mission description.

Many extraordinary individuals are preparing to explore the possible areas.

quickly,

Director Dai of Tiannan City also received the news. He muttered, "Thousand-Refined Awakening Grass? Awakening Potion? Holy crap! Did I sell that Awakening Grass too cheaply? Does our bureau have any other Awakening Grass?"

Shi An placed a bottle of energizing potion directly in the display case in front of the hall, tempting the members.

As long as he has the main ingredients, he doesn't mind selling one or two, so he can see how they work for others.

really,

Less than half a day after the task was released, news began to emerge.
