......

Inside the small courtyard.

A gentle breeze swept by, carrying away a few yellowed fallen leaves.

Zhou Yi stood alone under the tree, gazing quietly into the distance. Though his mind was filled with countless thoughts, he ultimately only let out a soft sigh.

"The wind is picking up."

Thanks to the enthusiastic monster-slaying by the players over the past few days, coupled with the 50/50 split, his luck value has increased significantly.

The current number has reached 50.

As more players participate in the reclamation of spirit fields, increasing the output disturbance, the amount of luck value will only increase.

150 points of luck doesn't seem so far away anymore.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi stretched and gently loosened his muscles and bones.

During the period before and after the update, he racked his brains to plan what would happen after the players went online, which left him physically and mentally exhausted.

Of course, it was all worth it.

Zhou Yi felt pleased with himself, a look of joy appearing on his face, and he planned to wander around.

However, as soon as he pushed open the door, a familiar figure appeared outside.

"Sect Leader Zhou, how have you been?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhou Yi's expression suddenly changed, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Heaven has been kind to me; it's like a pillow being delivered just when I'm sleepy," Zhou Yi thought to himself.

The visitor was Jiang Yunhe from the Jiang family, a guest that Zhou Yi had been eagerly anticipating.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly and led Jiang Yunhe to the stone table in the courtyard:

"Young friend Yunhe, it's been a long time. Has your visit come about the trade of demon beasts?"

"Sect Leader Zhou is absolutely right." Jiang Yunhe nodded and took out a storage bag from his hand. "Yunhe has already prepared spirit stones and is just waiting to trade supplies with Sect Leader Zhou."

Zhou Yi didn't waste any time. With a wave of his hand, he took out four storage bags from his sleeve.

He channeled his spiritual power and took out all the dozens of demon beast corpses from his storage bag.

Jiang Yunhe looked astonished upon seeing this.

Dozens of demonic beast corpses! The Qingxuan Sect's methods are simply too ruthless...

The efficiency in hunting monsters is incredibly high!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yunhe looked at Zhou Yi, his expression filled with even more admiration.

To be able to establish itself here and possess such means, the Qingxuan Sect must be a sect with a solid foundation. At its peak, it might even have Foundation Establishment cultivators in charge. We must establish a good relationship with them.

Having more friends means having more options.

Befriending the Qingxuan Sect might greatly benefit one's own future rise and that of the entire family.

Jiang Yunhe cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and smiled slightly:

"Sect Leader Zhou, your methods are truly impressive. Yunhe is truly impressed by the profound foundation of the Qingxuan Sect."

He knew that his expression just now would not be hidden from Zhou Yi, so he simply laid it out on the table.

After Jiang Yunhe finished speaking, he immediately began to count the monster materials.

Although most of the monster corpses were at the early stage of Qi Refining, there were quite a few corpse materials that had already reached the third level of Qi Refining.

"Sect Leader Zhou, according to the previous agreement between you and my Jiang family, this batch of demon beast materials can be valued at 150 spirit stones."

Jiang Yunhe took out his storage bag, counted out 150 spirit stones, and handed them directly to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi accepted the spirit stone, a barely perceptible glint of light flashing in his eyes, before he smiled and nodded: "Young friend Yunhe is indeed straightforward. This spirit stone has pure spiritual energy, just what I need."

"Sect Master Zhou, Yunhe has another matter to discuss on this trip." Seeing that Zhou Yi was satisfied, Jiang Yunhe quickly seized the opportunity to reveal his other purpose. "Your sect has countless geniuses, which Yunhe and the younger generation of the Jiang family greatly admire. I wonder if it would be possible to invite one or two of your disciples to my Jiang family for a chat, so as to enhance exchanges."

This is an uninvited guest.

Zhou Yi sighed to himself.

He had intended for the players to go to the Jiang family, hoping to create some disturbances and increase their luck value.

Before he could even speak, the other party came to him on their own.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi had no reason to refuse, and soon went to the vicinity of the spirit field, where he found two idle players.

"Sword Immortal, what do you think the Sect Master means by this?" The Great Sword looked at the Sword Immortal, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt.

"You big, stupid swordsman, I think you're hopeless..." The sword immortal's expression was unusually agitated, and he nudged the big swordsman's waist with his elbow. "We've clearly triggered a special mission."

"Special mission?"

Big Sword stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. He clearly hadn't expected that a special mission like this would fall to them, two insignificant figures.

The sword immortal noticed his confusion and explained, "Look, all five big shots in the sect have missions to complete right now, and the farming players can't stray too far from the sect."

"Now, aren't we the only two left in the entire sect who have nothing to do? So, if a mission is triggered, we'll definitely be the first ones to be chosen."

After the sword immortal finished speaking, the great sword suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.

Unexpectedly, they, who were just sitting around doing nothing and not taking on any tasks, actually managed to turn their lives around.

Zhou Yi stood to the side, and seeing that the two had finished their discussion, he spoke up:

"By the way, when traveling, you must not be too ostentatious. You two should quickly think of a more normal name."

Upon hearing Zhou Yi's words, the two quickly agreed and began to ponder their own titles.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Yi led the two players back to the courtyard and introduced them to Jiang Yunhe with a smile:

"Young friend Yunhe, these two are the disciples that our sect has sent out this time."

Jiang Yunhe's smiling gaze swept over the two of them, and he asked in a gentle voice, "You two fellow Daoists are truly remarkable. May I ask how we should address you?"

I am not a sword immortal. I returned the greeting with clasped hands, my robes fluttering even without wind, and laughed loudly, "Friend Jiang, I am Li Xiaoyao."

The greatsword beside him imitated him, bowing its paws slightly stiffly, but trying its best to strike a solemn pose: "Friend Jiang, my name is Arthur..."

After saying that, he scratched his head, seemingly feeling that the name seemed a bit out of place, and added, "Ahem, well, maybe my surname isn't very common."

Arthur, that's a rather strange name.

However, there are many extraordinary people and events in the cultivation world, so Jiang Yunhe did not pursue the matter further.

Zhou Yi smiled, his eyes gleaming.

"Young friend Yunhe, these two are both elite disciples of our sect. One is skilled with a light sword, and the other prefers a heavy sword. Their strength and talent are both outstanding."

This statement in the Book of Changes has its own profound meaning.

During this trip to the Jiang family, Zhou Yi had already instructed the two players to secretly cause some trouble at the appropriate time in order to gain luck points.

Therefore, one must have sufficient support and resources to ensure flexibility in both advancing and retreating.

Of course, the Jiang family is an ally after all, and the commotion that Zhou Yi arranged for the players to cause was also positive in nature.

After Zhou Yi gave a brief introduction, the two players excitedly followed Jiang Yunhe on their journey to the Jiang family's territory.

Lianyungang Market.

The market has ended, and the number of people has decreased significantly compared to when it was bustling.

Inside an inconspicuous house.

Li Fan was sitting alone in a chair, deep in thought, constantly calculating his next plan.

Just then, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded from outside.

"Brother Li, are you there?"
