Chapter Five: The Blue Fang Ghost Arrow

The monetary system of Shushan is based on copper coins, silver, and gold, with exchange rates aligned with international standards. One thousand copper coins are equivalent to one tael of silver, and one hundred taels of silver are equivalent to one tael of gold. Monsters occasionally drop money, but the primary source is players selling equipment to NPCs in exchange for currency

Damn it! If it weren't for that scoundrel Zhu Mei, who assigned me this task worth a hundred thousand merit points, I wouldn't have ended up in the Qingcheng gate and would now be at Emei Sect to pay my respects to my master

Before mastering the art of flying with a sword or riding the clouds, the Land God Talisman is an essential item for home travel and exploring the world. Each Land God Talisman is marked with a specific place name, and no matter where one is, as long as the talisman is activated, one can instantly arrive at the location inscribed on it. However, this item is consumable; advanced players may not mind the small expense of purchasing it, but I... I am just a level 7 novice. I don't have a single cent to my name. This item is indeed consumable; advanced players may not mind the small expense of purchasing it, but I... I am just a level 7 novice. I don't have a single cent to my name.

The Qingya Ghost Arrow belongs to the category of flying swords rather than magical artifacts, which truly delighted me. Based on the drop rates of magical artifacts and flying swords in Shushan, on average, only two or three items will drop from every one hundred monsters, while clothing, accessories, and potions drop the most.

These two individuals appear glamorous on the surface, but it turns out they are quite impoverished; apart from leaving me a fallen belt, they left nothing else behind

When I opened the system to check, I was suddenly taken aback.

I have become a villain... what a fierce life it is! Listening to the noisy curses coming from the public channel, it seems that those two Emei disciples have quite a few friends. I am drenched in cold sweat; if they all come to draw their swords in assistance, I would have died eight times over!

Secretly activating the Qingcheng Sword Technique, I swiftly unleashed the Qingya Ghost Arrow with a backhand motion, enveloping both individuals within the attack range with a single move of Chaos Clouds Parting the Sky. Since they had come in pairs, I could not expect any sense of justice to prevail; rather than waiting for the woman to join the assault, it was better for me to take the initiative.

Neither of us had any intention of engaging in a deep conversation, so I pretended to be in a hurry, glancing around as I slowly walked away. The Shushan server has just launched, and it is a limited public beta at hetushu.com, coupled with an expansive map. It is not common for novice players to gather in large numbers, except in villages, major cities, or sect headquarters; in other areas, one often goes an entire day without seeing another person.

What a good item! Its attack power is much stronger than the fire talisman I dropped

In order to prevent the other party from mistaking a simple and kind person like me for a monster to gain merit points, I hurriedly waved my hand and said loudly: "Do not misunderstand! I am also a player!"

Although the woman unleashed a fierce fire in time, reducing my health by over 20 points, the damage from the Qingya Ghost Arrow was significantly higher than that of the fire talisman. Moreover, her health was not as robust as mine. After exchanging a couple of spells, I successfully executed my plan.

The world within Mount Shu is quite vast, essentially created based on the backdrop of the novel. The territory of Mount Shu is even larger than the actual surface area of the entire Earth, making the issue of travel extremely significant

Before reaching level 20, human players will have two weapon slots and four talisman slots. The equipment slots are divided into: headgear, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, belts, tops, shirts, outer robes, pants, and shoes, totaling twelve items, among which two rings can be worn, one on each hand. As players level up, an additional talisman slot will be added every ten levels, ultimately increasing to ten slots. The weapon slots will not increase with leveling up unless one can find the legendary technique that allows the manipulation of multiple flying swords. Only after achieving mastery can the number of controllable flying swords be increased. Of course, if one is fortunate enough to find a complete set of flying swords, such as the Nine Sons Mother Yin Soul Sword, a set of nine flying swords occupies only one weapon slot.

I can't believe it! You picked up my fire talisman, and I didn't say a word. Now you still want to openly take it?

I possessed and picked up that item, and with a ding, the system notification sounded: "Congratulations, you have obtained the Qingya Ghost Arrow! The Qingya Ghost Arrow is a type of flying sword that can automatically launch to attack enemies, dealing damage of 28 to 39, with additional ghostly damage of 20 to 35"

Equipped with this rather uniquely shaped flying sword, I was about to leave when I heard a shout from behind: "Don't go! What did you just pick up? Hand it over to me! And the *illustrated* book"

The opponent's cultivation is clearly much stronger than mine, and before reaching level 20, no one can hope to fly. Even if you carry a hundred flying swords, it would be of no use. However, the attributes of this Golden Creek Sword are formidable; if I were to receive just one, I would once again seek refuge in the Western Paradise.

Hmm! What is this black, stick-like thing? My eyesight is still quite good. As I brushed past these two disciples of Emei, I noticed something eye-catching in the grass. The scenery in Mount Shu is beautiful, with lush vegetation, so it's not surprising to find a grass stick or a wooden branch. Therefore, these two seemed unaware that this object on the ground was anything special

Pity the copper coins I once had, all exchanged for that wooden sword broken on the body of the Qingya Ghost King. Besides the coarse cloth garments of a newcomer, I now possess only this newly acquired Qingya Ghost arrow. Oh! And also a belt that just fell from those two Emei men and women.

Even in the wilderness, when two players meet, they have no interest in chatting. This is the time when everyone is focused on leveling up. Either they form small groups to grind monsters, or they venture alone to explore the map. Whoever can seize a bit of resources first will enjoy great advantages in the future

Upon seeing the emblem of the Qingcheng Sect on me, the two individuals let out a sigh of relief. The Emei Mountain region, whether in terms of its vast area or the number of players, far surpasses Qingcheng Mountain, which inadvertently instills a sense of pride.

Quickly close the public channel, I immediately shifted my position. While the majestic mountains and rivers are indeed picturesque, it is the bustling city that constitutes the entirety of life. I do not have time to save money to buy land talismans, so I rely on my two long, thin legs to make my escape!

I ignored the Emei male disciple shouting behind me, intending to leave quickly, when a sudden gust of wind struck. That guy actually made the first move. It is important to note that malicious PK incurs a deduction of merit points! This guy is really too bold!

With my first level of the Qingcheng Sword Technique, the power of the Qingya Ghost Arrow surpasses that of the Fire Talisman by more than one tier. With a single shot, these two individuals each burst forth with dozens of blood flowers, quite impressive! When I executed my second move, the Chaotic Clouds Dispersing, the man frantically attempted to draw his sword to intercept, only to expose his vital points to me. The Qingya Ghost Arrow pierced through him, creating six or seven holes, sending him off in a flash of white light to be reincarnated.
