Journey to the West Arrives: Start by becoming an apprentice of the Tongtian Sect Leader!

Upon hearing Li Xuancang's words, many players immediately perked up.

These players felt that the words sounded somewhat familiar!

I think I saw it on a game forum before.

Previously, player Su Wuji used a skill proficiency enhancement card to exchange for a cultivation technique from Xuan Cang, and Su Wuji posted about it on the forum, which kept the matter very popular.

Therefore, many players know about this.

For a moment, many players wondered if the immortal in front of them was the same immortal that Su Wuji had encountered before!

Does that mean that we can also use proficiency cards to exchange for cultivation techniques?

At this moment, a player who looked to be in his twenties took out a card, which was a skill proficiency enhancement card.

Each player receives one card in the login gift pack, and each card increases skill proficiency for one day.

"Sage, is this the kind of card you're talking about?"

Seeing this, Li Xuancang showed a slightly interested expression.

"Hmm... indeed, this is the card. I find it quite interesting."

"At that time, that mortal gave this card to me, and I also taught him a second-rate cultivation technique."

"That mortal said that he obtained this card during his travels in his early years, and he did not expect that you would have such a thing as well."

As soon as Li Xuancang said this, all the players present confirmed it.

This immortal is the same immortal that Su Wuji encountered in the forum before.

I wonder if immortals will change their cultivation methods now that there are so many cards available?

At this moment, the young player spoke again.

"Immortal above! May I exchange this card for a cultivation technique from you?"

Li Xuancang pondered for a moment.

"Hmm... Although this card is impervious to water and fire, it is actually of little use to me. I only accepted it from that mortal out of interest."

Upon hearing what the immortal said, the players present immediately showed expressions of despair.

Oh no! The immortal doesn't want to use this broken card to exchange for cultivation techniques!

However, the young player who had just spoken noticed that the immortal seemed to be hesitant. If he was hesitant, did that mean that it was still possible to exchange for it?

So the young man spoke respectfully again.

"Immortal above, I beg your mercy! I have sought immortality for years without success. To have met you now is surely fate! I humbly request your grace, and I offer this card with both hands!!!"

Li Xuancang felt that things had come to a point where it was almost time to act.

If this continues, it will only get worse.

So... it's time to reap the rewards!

So Li Xuancang looked somewhat troubled and spoke.

"What you say is quite true; it is fate that we were able to meet..."

"This card is indeed quite magical; I have no reason not to collect it."

"Moreover, I have indeed accumulated some of those second-rate cultivation techniques and magical artifacts over the past few thousand years."

"In that case, with just this card, I can bestow upon you a second-rate cultivation technique."

The young player was overjoyed and also gleaned a crucial piece of information.

This immortal possesses numerous cultivation techniques and magical artifacts!

A single card can grant you a second-rate martial arts technique.

If I had ten, or even a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand, proficiency enhancement cards, would it be possible to exchange them for something even better from the immortal?

Upon having this thought, the young player's heart began to race.

You should know that you're not short of money in the real world!

Do you even know what a "second-generation rich kid" is?

Do you even know what a top-tier rich kid is?!

Even Wang Xiaocong has to pour him a drink when he sees him!

If my idea holds true, then I could use money to buy skill proficiency upgrade cards from players, and then use a large number of commission cards to exchange for top-tier items from NPCs.

Although the Journey to the West game has a high degree of openness and freedom, in the eyes of these players, immortals like Li Xuancang are still NPCs.

Such exchanges are actually a way to trigger NPC quests.

Thinking of this, the young, wealthy player tentatively asked…

"Immortal, you just said that a card can be exchanged for a second-rate cultivation technique or magical artifact."

"What if I have a large number of cards? Can I exchange them for more advanced cultivation techniques or magical artifacts?"

Upon hearing the question asked by the young player, Li Xuancang was immediately delighted.

I was originally thinking about whether to continue guiding these players to realize this point.

Surprisingly, someone had already thought of this!

I thought this player was very clever, and now it seems he really is!

Li Xuancang appeared stunned for a moment, and after several breaths, he slowly nodded...

"I have decided to make an exchange with you, and naturally, an exchange must be of equal value."

"You're right. If you had more cards, I would bestow upon you even better cultivation techniques or magical artifacts."

Upon hearing this, the young player was overjoyed!

"Thank you, Immortal! Please wait a moment, Immortal. I have other cards here, which I will give to you in a moment!"

After speaking, the young player sat down and closed his eyes, remaining motionless, looking like a vegetable.

The other players were already used to it; this was simply logging out of the game...

The horror of the game Journey to the West lies precisely in this.

After you log out, your body will remain in the same place.

There is even a possibility of encountering danger.

Many people have suffered this loss: after logging off, they try to log back in only to find their account is gone...

In the end, I had no choice but to register and log in again.

By this time, many intelligent people had already realized what was happening.

Could this guy have quit the game to collect proficiency boosting cards?

As a result, many players have quit the game, wanting to try and take advantage of the time difference, hoping to collect more proficiency upgrade cards when others think they are worthless.

Many players also posted about what happened here on the game forums.

It became an instant sensation!

Many players are discussing whether this immortal NPC is a special NPC.

Exchanging cards for cultivation techniques or magical artifacts is likely a recycling mechanism in the game...

This news instantly boosted the value of skill proficiency enhancement cards.

In just a few tens of minutes, skill proficiency upgrade cards that were originally worthless became worth ten, fifty, one hundred, two hundred, and even soared to a sky-high price of five hundred.

A large number of skill proficiency upgrade cards are circulating wildly among players.

Many players have even become rich overnight by reselling skill proficiency upgrade cards!

Where Li Xuancang was.

Some players didn't even think about collecting upgrade cards; instead, they sold them as soon as they saw they were worth several hundred dollars.

Another group of players used only one card to exchange for the cultivation technique with Li Xuancang.

Li Xuancang did not find any objections and accepted them all.

At the same time, Li Xuancang also took out the magical sword made of bamboo leaves...

And just like that, the era of massive exchange began right there on the spot.
