Chapter 195 Black and red are also red

Ji Zhixian looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the figures of seven or eight players suddenly became brighter, emitting a bright red light, which was particularly eye-catching.

Even their standard appearances had subtly changed, revealing their true appearance.

But they were unaware of it and continued to practice their weapon refining skills.

They didn't know. They thought that their consciousness was parasitic on the phantom body to practice refining techniques. In fact, when they decided to transmit their consciousness, they entered the virtual world.

This is a virtual education base carefully created by Gu Yunli.

This is also the reason why Ji Zhixian was so emotional.

If the Lingbao Equipment Refining Factory were to use this magical power, the cost of training workers would be greatly reduced.

The only expense is a little computing power.

After taking a closer look, Ji Zhixian shook his head and said, "I don't know them. Are these people special?"

Gu Yunli raised his hand, and the jade slips on the tables of the seven or eight players suddenly flew towards Ji Zhixian.

Ji Zhixian took the jade slip, scanned it with his mind, and raised his eyebrows suddenly:

"Is this the Soul Fire Shaping Technique of Pu'an Temple?"

Indeed, the curse seal inside the jade slip, although using the method of Lingbao Taoist Temple, inadvertently revealed traces of the shaping technique. This could be hidden from an outsider, but not from the master weapon refiner Ji Zhixian.

He couldn't help but sigh, "They have special skills, but they are so secretive. It seems that they are also very jealous of Zhenzai's Great Nirvana! Is Zhenzai going to ban them?"

Gu Yunli shook his head: "Why do you want to ban it? Isn't it better to use free labor? I'll mark these people for you, take good care of them in the future."

"Yes!" Ji Zhixian nodded.

"When I say take care, I mean take good care of them. We should keep them here. These are talented people." Gu Yunli emphasized again, fearing that Ji Zhixian would misunderstand.

"Yes!"

Ji Zhixian nodded, thinking that the rumors might be true. Once he accepted the Great Nirvana Dao, to some extent, he would be cursed by Gu Zhenzai.

After all, in the interconnected secret realm, if Gu Zhenzai could not monitor everyone, then it was understandable that he allowed everyone to exchange for the Great Nirvana.

But now it seems that Gu Zhenzai can obviously see through everything, at least when he wants to see, he can tell it apart.

If that’s the case, why did he still give the Great Nirvana Netherworld Fragment?

Just to spread Buddhism?
"It seems that you also think that I am using the Great Nirvana Fragment to control everyone in the world?"

Suddenly, Gu Yunli's question made Ji Zhixian, whose mind was wandering, stiffen all over. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back and sweat broke out. He quickly clasped his hands and said:
"I don't dare to be humble!"

"Don't be nervous. The fact that you came all the way here shows that you are a good person. Otherwise, why would I show you these things?"

Gu Yunli waved his hand and said with emotion: "Even you think so, let alone the people of the world. I didn't take these rumors seriously at first, but now it seems that I have to deal with them seriously."

Yes, at this moment, the rumors about the fragments of the Great Nirvana have intensified with the launch of the main task of the Internet Secret Realm Refining "The Growth Path of the Refining Master" and the exposure of the work-for-relief agreement.

"Gu Zhenzai, please have a good conscience. This work-for-relief agreement is equivalent to obtaining power in advance. This is simply too cost-effective!"

"I don't agree. Why can't monks sign a work-for-relief agreement? I want to sign a work-for-relief agreement, too."

“Fuck, Gu Zhenzai is really rich, he just took out the jade slips for free to practice.”

As soon as this conscientious policy of work-for-relief was launched, it immediately attracted cheers and support from many players.

However, the backlash of public opinion followed closely.

"Gu Yunli's ambition can no longer be hidden. How can this be called work-for-relief? This is clearly a bid for fame and control over the world!"

"Don't be fooled, everyone. Once you accept the Great Nirvana, you will probably become a slave from now on!"

"There is no such thing as a free lunch. There are too many tricks in the secret world of the Internet."

"Some people are just paranoid. Don't they know how much they are worth?"

"I don't understand. I think there's something wrong with the secret Internet. Just don't log in. Why are you shouting about it all over the world?"

"Some people always act like they are the only sober person among the drunk, but they don't know that if it weren't for the interconnected secret realm, many people would never be able to enter the Tao after practicing for their entire lives."

"I would rather not be able to enter Taoism and be an ordinary mortal than become someone else's puppet slave!"

"You are noble and you are great, but have you ever thought about those illiterate street beggars? Have you ever thought about those maids and tenants who are slaves and servants in the rich families? They are all slaves and servants, so why don't they choose a powerful master?"

For a time, polarized public opinion was in an uproar on the Internet.

If you look closely, you will find that everyone’s situation is different.

Some people seek to become immortals and attain the great freedom, so they are naturally skeptical about the secret realm of the Internet.

Some people just want to have enough food and warm clothing, so how can they dare to be picky?

When public opinion was boiling, an announcement on the Internet, like adding fuel to the fire, pushed public opinion to a new height.

The announcement stated in straightforward language:
The Internet Secret Realm has noticed that some users have doubts about the Great Nirvana Fragments. The Internet Secret Realm would like to clarify that the Great Nirvana Fragments are the product of the dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism. It is beyond the scope of common sense and is normal.

The Internet Secret Realm supports any force, any sect, and any person to check those who use the secret realm fragments. If any problems are found, as long as they dare to disclose their names and swear by the Tao, the Internet Secret Realm will bear all responsibilities. Otherwise, they will all be treated as rumors.

Since its inception, the Internet has been adhering to the concept of serving all living beings and fulfilling its duties conscientiously.

If the Internet has selfish intentions, why would it steal the lives of all living beings through the secret realm of the Internet? We also ask all users to open their eyes and beware of malicious slander.

The Internet also warns some of its peers here that it does not accept slander from any force or individual, and if found, it reserves the right to pursue accountability.

The Internet Secret Realm takes this opportunity to officially announce that Buddha is Tao, and Tao is Buddha. The Internet Secret Realm will put the fragments of Hunling and Jiehuang online to show the fairness of the Internet!

-

A long and eloquent announcement directly points to the source of the rumors!

It also shocked the hearts of people all over the world!
"Gu Zhenzai said it well. They all say that there is something fishy going on in the secret interconnected realm, but is there any evidence? And who dares to swear on the truth? Without evidence, I dare not swear, and everything I say is false."

"Some people cannot compete with the Internet, so they resort to such despicable means. It is really hateful!"

"Fuck, the way of the mixed spirit and yellow? Isn't this the way that Emperor Qingxu practiced?"

“It is strongly recommended that the work-for-relief program be open to all users!”

Various voices cheering and supporting the Internet Secret Realm are heard one after another.

However, even so, there are still a lot of slanderous words coming back.

"It's so funny. Gu Yunli said that the Great Nirvana Fragment was a product of Buddhism and was unknown to outsiders. Then he asked others to give evidence and swear an oath. How can they prove it if it is unknown?"

"Don't just ask others to swear. Gu Zhenzai, why don't you also swear on the Dao?"

"The Great Emperor Qingxu gave you the Way of Mixed Spirits and Yellow, but you just spread it all over the world. This is betraying your master and ancestors!"

Gu Yunli was numb from all the insults and sarcasm.

I finally understand what it means to be praised all over the world and also be slandered!

What's more, there are many people behind this rumor.

Therefore, his announcement seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest, triggering a new round of verbal war.

However, as public opinion boiled over, Gu Yunli was surprised to find that more and more users were pouring into the secret realm of the Internet!
So much so that Qinggang Mountain was overcrowded!

"Black and red are really red!"

Gu Yunli was surprised and then burst into laughter.

The unremitting rumors spread by all the major forces in the Immortal Court certainly had a severe impact on him, but to some extent, it also increased the popularity of the Internet Secret Realm.

There are always various blind spots in the dissemination of information.

Even users who log on to the Internet every day may not know the secrets of the Internet.

This sounds ridiculous, but it is true, especially since the Immortal Court has banned the Internet.

Now after this wave of public opinion.

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, the reputation of the Internet Secret Realm has been spread.

As many supporters have said, what is the essential difference between being a slave or servant to a wealthy family and being a slave or servant to Master Yunli?
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Internet secret realm is flooded with users. However, as the number of players surges, the pressure on the Internet is also increasing.

"We must expand the resurrection point and territory as soon as possible. Fortunately, these are earthen puppets. If they were real people, their shit and urine would flood Qinggang Mountain."

Gu Yunli murmured.

The so-called resurrection point is actually the earth puppet spawning pool.

This thing is not complicated. You just need to lock a ground vein for energy to complete it.

“It’s time to relax restrictions.”

Gu Yunli waved his hand, and the Ciyun Dharma Realm Sand Table appeared before his eyes.

Looking closely, Qinggang Mountain's location is not good.

With Pu'nan City in front and Long Bodhisattva behind, it seems that the space for development has been locked.

However, this is based on conventional thinking.

If we look at it from the perspective of the fourth natural disaster, Qinggang Mountain can be regarded as a Feng Shui treasure land. There is the kindness and chaos of Buddhism in front, and the evil and chaos of demons in the back. There are two major monster spawning points, which is simply too cool!
Gu Yunli stared at the Dragon Bodhisattva camp with his eyes flickering, and then issued a new main task.

……

……

"Finally passed the weapon refining learning mission!"

The little bird was overjoyed when he saw the pop-up window saying that the assessment had been passed.

From today on, he can finally go down the mountain and take on missions with higher rewards.

Ding Dong!

Suddenly, a large horn flashed across his field of vision, making his eyelids jump.

Click to view immediately.

[New main quest: Clear out the Ciyun Dharma Realm! ]

[New profession: Demon Slayer! ]

The little bird took a quick look and his heart started beating wildly.

Because the rewards for the main quest are so generous!

Killing any evil spirit will reward you with a phantom body. The final killer of a team will be rewarded with a phantom body fragment, and the assistant will be rewarded with 1,000 points and 1,000 merits.

"Ding dong!"

Beet sent a message: "Have you completed the task of learning to refine equipment?"

The little bird replied: "You finished it too?"

Beet: "Great, come out and gather, I'll wait for you at the usual place!"

Upon seeing this, the little bird quickly quit the weapon refining task and returned to the body of the earth puppet.

Then I saw that the four-member team had already gathered together.

Looking at the former logging site, it is not only bare, but also filled with countless earth puppets wandering around.

Qinggang Mountain is now almost overcrowded.

"Has everyone completed the weapon refining learning task?"

"That's right, as long as you don't get lazy, then you can do it, right?"

"Everyone is waiting for you!"

Xiao Xiaoniao blushed when he heard this, and vaguely realized that most of his three teammates were cultivators, and he was the only one who had just started practicing, which was why he had been delayed for so long.

"Shall we discuss our next plan?"

Beet, as always, got to the point first.

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, a large speaker suddenly popped up in everyone's sight.

[Congratulations to Nanyin for completing the first kill of "Purge the Ciyun Dharma Realm", and the reward is a fragment of the optional Dao and a phantom body! ]

"Fuck, someone got the first kill already?"

"Is this living in a monster's den?"

"I know this Nanyin. He is the first monk to complete the novice tutorial and the first to go down the mountain. It is only natural that he gets the first kill!"

"Oh! What a pity! I was planning to complete the first kill!"

Beet sighed.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiaoniao subconsciously asked, "Beet, do you want to accept the mission of clearing up the Ciyun Dharma Realm?"

Beet nodded: "Yes, everyone, look at these tasks. After all, only the task of slaying demons and eliminating evil has the highest reward. If I'm not mistaken, the ultimate purpose of Master Yunli in creating the interconnected secret realm is to use us to eliminate the demons in the Ciyun Dharma Realm. In this case, sooner or later we will have to participate in the demon hunting operation, so why not accept it early and take a risk?"

Everyone nodded, and “Rivers of Blood” and “Demon-Breaking Lord” were even more excited.

Hunting monsters without risking their lives is already exciting and makes their blood boil.

Beet continued, "I read the mission description. Helpers are rewarded with 1,000 points and 1,000 merits. There is no limit on the number of helpers. In other words, we can actually gather a large team and kill the evil spirits with human wave tactics. In this way, even if we die, as long as we have slashed the evil spirits, theoretically, we can still be considered helpers. At that time, we can not only exchange for an earthen puppet, but also earn 1,000 merits. With this positive cycle, it will be just around the corner to exchange for an illusory body."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up.

Little Bird frowned and said, "Isn't this taking advantage of a loophole? Will Master Yunli agree?"

Beet said: "Master Yunli is a very capable person, how could he not think of this? I guess he did this on purpose, in order to encourage us to fight against the evil spirits in a group."

"Shit, now that Beet has said that, it seems to be true."

"That's right, I'm a genius!"

Beet had a smug look on his face, words that he could never say in the real world.

After these words were spoken, everyone suddenly realized and finally understood the origin of the nickname Beet.

After discussing it, the four of them immediately went down the mountain and found a relatively conspicuous blank area. They then publicly called for people on public channels and even forums.

As soon as the news came out, everyone responded immediately.

Soon, more and more players gathered.

The scene was bustling with noise and at a glance there were at least several hundred people.

Beet was excited and nervous.

Because as the number of people increased, he could no longer control the crowd, and many people simply did not buy into his reputation as a beet.

After all, his strategy doesn’t have any exclusive protection?
Many people have already contacted like-minded people on their own and then left the crowd.

Seeing this scene, Beet quickly shouted hello and headed towards Dragon Bodhisattva.

Some of the crowd left.

Some people stayed where they were, either because they didn't hear it or because they were waiting for their relatives and friends.

This blank area has developed into a gathering place because of a post by Beet!
……

In Ciyu Temple on Qinggang Mountain, Gu Yunli silently looked at the players gathered at the foot of the mountain in a mess. He felt neither happy nor sad. He had long experienced the uncontrollability of the players.

Even though he is the creator of the interconnected secret realm, he can only guide it but cannot fully control it.

However, even if it is just guidance, it is enough.

Next, it’s time to test the results.

He wants to see if the ants can kill the elephant!
