Chapter 327: New Runes: Invitation Letters to the Myriad Worlds

"Jiu Shu's Yizhuang also has a shop, which contains various Talismans, skills, and equipment."

After Tanjiro helped Qiusheng finish cleaning the coffins, the Reputation Value of 【Jiu Shu's Yizhuang】 increased slightly, and the Yizhuang shop opened automatically. He said: "Although it is not as well-stocked as the items in the game shop, the prices for the same skills are much cheaper."

Tanjiro had specifically made a comparison; for a peach wood sword of the same attributes, the Yizhuang shop was about two hundred Reward Points cheaper.

"Very reasonable."

Nohara Rin was not very surprised, nodding as she said: "The items in the game shop can be bought as long as you have enough Contribution Points."

"The Yizhuang shop is more like a hidden shop within the map, selling exclusive goods; you must first increase your favorability with that faction."

Those saved Reward Points are actually added to the Side Quests issued by the faction.

"I also accepted a Daoist sect quest."

Tanjiro held nothing back, laying out all the game content he had explored, and said: "There are nine stages in total. As long as you complete them all, you can be accepted by Jiu Shu as a disciple of the Daoist sect, become a Daoist Disciple, and learn Daoist magic."

The initial profession is Daoist Disciple, then Green-Robed Mage, Purple-Robed Daoist Priest... and finally Demon-Exterminating Heavenly Master.

Daoist magic can also be learned directly from 【Jiu Shu's Yizhuang】.

Compared to purchasing from the Mall, which can cost hundreds of thousands of Reward Points, even a strapped Tanjiro can grow extremely rapidly.

But the disadvantage is also obvious: if you don't need Reward Points, you need to risk your life.

This is the main core highlighted after the Samsara Game update.

In the past,

Game merchants sold items everywhere, and players with sufficient assets held the advantage, easily becoming powerful first-tier players.

Those players with firm wills, even if they chased desperately, lacked the strength to keep up.

But now, the opening of quest worlds has completely shattered this situation.

As long as one has a sufficiently strong willpower and the courage to risk one's life, any player can transcend their limits.

This is also the scene Fang Yi wanted to see. The white-haired loli said with some envy: "What a pity, the Demon-Exterminating Heavenly Master is a very rare top-tier profession. If it were sold in the Mall, you wouldn't even think about getting it without five hundred thousand Reward Points."

"There is nothing to pity."

Fang Yi said indifferently: "The ultimate goal of the Samsara Game Space is to defeat the Polluted Continent. If Tanjiro can really become a Demon-Exterminating Heavenly Master, he will be a first-tier player fighting against the pollution."

"Moreover, for a profession template like this that promotes through multi-stage quests, I don't need to spend money at all."

If one must explain it,

The Samsara Game is the company, and the players are the employees.

The professions and items obtained through quests are like employees using their spare time to buy study materials themselves, working hard to improve their strength so they can better complete the company's work.

Such excellent players should be strongly commended.

"Is that so?"

A Fu was like a poor student in class, looking like someone who had just heard the teacher's explanation—confused and ignorant, but afraid of being found out, so she changed the subject: "Master, does the new Rune you created have any functions?"

A brand-new Rune was embedded in the Samsara Game Space, emitting faint spacetime fluctuations; it seemed to be related to teleportation? Fang Yi glanced at the guilty white-haired loli, not blaming her; if A Fu had a good brain, she wouldn't have been beaten by the Polluted Continent until she was scurrying away in terror.

So, taking the opportunity to step down, he followed her words and explained: "This Rune will automatically absorb energy from the void. Once it is full, it will cast Invitation Letters to the myriad worlds to recruit new players with potential."

Situations like the Ninja World and the Pirate World, where one actively communicates and sells game qualifications as a game merchant, were a helpless move when the foundation was weak.

Now, there are hundreds of thousands of players in the Samsara Game.

After clearing the Pollution Sources one after another,

The Samsara Game has long since changed from a space the size of a playground to the size of several towns.

There is no need to conduct transactions step by step as before.

Even for players with potential, one only needs such a Rune capable of casting myriad-world Invitation Letters; if the other party is willing, they become a player,

And if they are unwilling, Fang Yi does not need to waste his breath; the only one who loses will be the other party.

"Now, issuing the first batch of myriad-world Invitation Letters." Fang Yi activated the Rune, and spacetime halos flowed out, tearing through the void before flying away.

A total of ten myriad-world Invitation Letters were cast.

I wonder how many people will respond? Two days later, with Jiu Shu leading the way, Clare, Tanjiro, and others laid an ambush at Renfu and successfully dealt with Xuepao Daoren and the Evil Corpse.

This Xuepao Daoren was the Feng Shui master whose geomantic treasure land had been forcibly seized by the Ren family back then. Harboring hatred, he deliberately changed the Feng Shui Pattern to raise the Ren family ancestor into an Evil Corpse, wanting to kill the entire Ren household.

It was a pity that he fell short at the last moment.

【Main Quest completed, returning soon!】

Hearing the countdown to return, everyone hurriedly opened the Mall and began to redeem the items they had already chosen.

Clare did not have enough Contribution Points and could not buy the Soul Returning Array,

Although she was anxious to resurrect Teresa, she also knew that if she did not redeem equipment and skills, the danger of continuing to execute Main Quests would be too great, so she spent ten thousand Reward Points and five hundred Contribution Points to purchase a 【Crimson Thunder Sword Art】.

During battle, it can release crimson thunder, which has a very powerful demon-breaking effect and has an extremely strong restraining ability against all Yoma and ghosts.

Furthermore, its complete version is 【Seven-Colored Yang Thunder】.

Once gathered, even a top-tier Lord at Lv. 49 cannot withstand its power.

As long as there are enough Contribution Points, it can be purchased continuously.

This is the advantage of the otherworld shop after the update! Unlike the Game House, where one can only rely on luck to obtain the next stage of skills and items.

"Your sister's condition does not require high-level Pill."

Hearing Tanjiro describe his sister who had been turned into a demon by the Demon King's blood, Jiu Shu flipped through the classics and said: "According to your account, Kibutsuji Muzan was able to become a Demon King by relying on medicinal herbs and prescriptions, as well as his own illness..."

Jiu Shu had heard of this kind of situation where a special fate leads to becoming an abnormal life form.

A fellow Daoist sect brother had sent a message that in the Jiangnan Dao area, the corpse of the wealthy Li Laotaiye, because it was stolen by Western archaeologists and injected with various Western medicines, directly turned from a lowest-level zombie into an abnormal life form, with strength comparable to a Zombie King.

Fortunately, it retained some of the obsessions from its lifetime; as long as it heard the sound emitted by the 【Yinyue Huaibiao】 once given to its granddaughter, it would stand still.

Therefore, it was temporarily beaten back by the Maoshan fellow Daoist Mamadi,

And it had a very similar situation to the Kibutsuji Muzan that Tanjiro spoke of.

"If you can collect all the materials, I can refine a furnace of Nine Yang Golden Pills for you, which should be able to eliminate the Demon King you speak of."

Although the Nine-Ring Mission was not completed and Tanjiro did not join the Daoist forces, Jiu Shu was not stingy about helping.

Jiu Shu's brows were tightly furrowed.

As a Daoist who had cultivated to the level of a 【Demon-Exterminating Heavenly Master】, the drastic changes in the human world could not be hidden from his senses.

Yet, he was powerless to act.

He could only watch as the pollution continuously eroded the land, with more and more Yoma and ghosts running rampant.

If things continued to develop in this state,

it would not take long before not only Qing Guo, but the entire human world would turn into a purgatory of ghosts.

This group with mysterious identities,

a special Organization from another world, might be the key to saving the human realm, which was why Jiu Shu was so enthusiastic and had extended an olive branch from the Daoist forces.

He simply wanted to do his utmost to seek a glimmer of hope.

"Disciple, the Daoist path must conform to the natural laws of Heaven; one cannot interfere too much in human affairs..."

With his master's dying instructions from when he descended the mountain surfacing in his mind, Jiu Shu sighed.

He lifted his eyelids, a flash of Kinkaku passing through his eyes, and saw the entire mountain range and Renjia Zhen shrouded under a layer of mist that resembled a demonic barrier.

How could he,

possibly stand by and watch? (End of chapter)
