Chapter 001 Mysterious NPC

A faint red glow just lit up in the sky, and a white light lit up on the streets of Lingxiao City, and Zhang Heng was online.

At the same time, white lights were lit up from time to time, and players were also online one after another.

Zhang Heng sighed, not expecting that there are many people who work as hard as he does. The real time is only five in the morning, which is the trough period for players. He is also preparing to take this opportunity to sweep monsters. If he is lucky, he might have some adventures.

At this moment, a Nascent Soul-stage player next to him yawned: "I've been playing for a night, it's time to go offline and sleep for a while."

The figure of this ashes player in the Nascent Soul stage became transparent and slowly disappeared from Lingxiao City. He was offline.

Zhang Heng said intimidated that there are many friends who are stronger than him, but he can't hold on for more than ten hours of continuous fighting. Besides, he is not a professional player, but a real otaku.

This is a large virtual tour called "Immortal Way". Such a virtual tour of cultivation is not uncommon on Earth in the 22nd century, and basically one will appear every few years.

Sometimes a few lights flashed in the sky, with amazing speed, with a dreamy and mysterious light, among which were figures riding monsters passing through the sky. These were all high-level players. Zhang Heng glanced at them with envious eyes, wondering how long it would take for him to reach that level.

Zhang Heng can only be regarded as an ordinary master in the game now. He has the strength of the early stage of the Dan stage and is still ranked in the upper and middle stages in the game.

Logically speaking, he has achieved some success with his strength in forming pills, but he has neither the top-notch martial arts nor any amazing magic. The explosion rate in this game is very low, and all kinds of top-quality materials are rare. Until now, he doesn't even have a magic weapon in his hand, and he is very cowardly in the game. There are also many players in the same situation as him.

"The top-quality spiritual weapons are for sale, and only 1,200 crystals are sold!"

"Five thousand crystals acquire the third-level spirit beast!"

"All kinds of spells and jade slips are sold, price interviews..."

"The best foundation-building pill can increase the success rate of foundation-building and is also effective for the foundation-building stage cultivation, leaving only the last two bottles."

...

Zhang Heng looked at the players who set up stalls on the streets. Some of these players are professional players and have relatively high cultivation levels. Many of them have reached the Dan Killing Stage, and even perverts in the Nascent Soul Stage.

After taking a few glances, Zhang Heng planned to leave. It was not that these things were useless to him, but that he was short of money and did not have many crystals in his storage bracelet.

Passing through this bustling street and coming to a sparsely populated corner, Zhang Heng was preparing to come here to take a task, and the npc of the task was in this corner.

"Young man, let's make a deal." A slightly hoarse voice came.

Zhang Heng was startled and subconsciously looked back and found that there was a sloppy old Taoist priest behind him.

Not a player, but it turned out to be an NPC! Zhang Heng couldn't help but be happy. Could it be that his character exploded and encountered the legendary hidden mission?

Although the old Taoist priest dressed very badly, Zhang Heng did not dare to underestimate him at all.

"Do you always need my help?" Zhang Heng asked respectfully.

The old Taoist priest wiped his nose with his hands, glanced at Zhang Heng with a few ghost eyes, and hummed: "With my cultivation level, of course I don't need the help of you, a young monk in the Killing Physical Stage. I'm looking for you to make a deal."

"Trade?" Zhang Heng was stunned. This was the first time he heard of such a hidden task.

"What kind of transaction is it?" Zhang Heng looked at him vigilantly. After playing such a long game, he still knew some common sense questions. There are many evil NPCs in the game, and there are also many people who treat players as guns.

"I have a set of anti-speech skills here. I will exchange him for something on you. I wonder if you are willing?" The old Taoist priest's eyes flashed, making Zhang Heng feel uncomfortable.

"Ashes against the heavens?" Zhang Heng took a breath. In "Immortal Way", the general top-level skills are extremely rare, and only a few cutting-edge players have them. As for the heavens against the heavens, it is said that only Ye Tianlong, who ranks first in the game, has one. Ye Tianlong has been ranked first in the game for hundreds of years. No player can compete with him yet. The second-ranked expert is far from him.

In other words, there is only a set of anti-natural level martial arts in the entire server, which shows the value of anti-natural level martial arts.

"Little brother, are you willing or not? I will exchange a set of anti-sky skills for something on you." The old Taoist priest looked as if he was sure to win, and he didn't believe that Zhang Heng was not moved.

In the game, a set of anti-natural skills can completely change a person's destiny.

After spending so long in "Immortality", Zhang Heng also understood that there are three most important things for cultivation: magic weapons, elixirs, and elixirs. Magic weapons and elixirs are just external objects, and elixirs are the most basic. With good elixirs, the power of magic weapons can be doubled, and the elixirs can be used more fully. Once you have the heaven-deficient martial arts, you can be invincible among players of the same level, or even challenge them higher than the level.

"You really have a despicable level of martial arts. Can you show it to me?" Zhang Heng is not a fool either. He would not easily believe this old Taoist priest. In this era, people were playing games, and games were playing people. NPC was not worth their lives.

"Hehe, are you quite cautious? Okay, I will meet your requirements." The old Taoist priest looked at Zhang Heng with admiration, stretched out his hand, and a purple-gold jade slip appeared out of thin air.

The old Taoist priest did not hand the jade tube to Zhang Heng, but shared the attributes of the jade slip with Zhang Heng to see.

Zhang Heng saw the properties of this jade slip on the translucent virtual board:

"Refining Heaven and Transforming Earth": A defiant level of martial arts, you can practice it in the Qi Refining Period.

Although the above introduction is simple, Zhang Heng couldn't help but get excited. He didn't expect that this was really a heaven-deficient martial art. What is more worth mentioning is that this set of martial arts has very low requirements for the level of the monks, and it only takes the Qi Refining Period.

"I only need one thing on you in exchange for this set of martial arts." The old Taoist priest npc glanced at Zhang Heng's body with a pair of thief eyes.

Zhang Heng calmed down. Could this old Taoist priest have fallen in love with something on his body? But there were too many things in his storage bracelet, and he didn't know which one he wanted.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Heng decided to trade with this old man. As long as he could get this set of heaven-deficient martial arts, it would be worth it even if he died here once.

"Okay, I agree to deal with you." After taking a deep breath, Zhang Heng agreed to the deal.

System: Do you agree to the mysterious NPC request to trade with you?

"Agree." Zhang Heng chose to agree without hesitation.

The old Taoist priest smiled and handed the jade tube to Zhang Heng because there was already a systematic testimony, so he was not afraid that Zhang Heng would take the thing and regret it.

Zhang Heng took the jade slip and was extremely excited. He couldn't help but use his spiritual sense to check the skills inside.

The jade was simplified into a white light and instantly merged into Zhang Heng's mind. The jade slips in this game are all disposable consumables, and ordinary players cannot copy the jade tube.

System: "Refining Heaven and Transforming Earth" is a heaven-defying skill, and you must start practicing from the Qi Refining Stage. Since you are a cultivator in the Killing Stage, if you want to practice this skill, you must first lose your cultivation.

A few black lines suddenly appeared on Zhang Heng's face. Why did he feel like he was deceived? It's like you got a set of martial arts secrets, and there is a requirement for practicing martial arts secrets: If you want to practice this skill, you must first castrate yourself.

From the Qi-induced stage to the Dan-building stage, Zhang Heng spent more than two hundred years of game, which is equivalent to two years in the real world. At this moment, he actually had to start practicing from scratch. Anyone in the game would go crazy.

Although the heaven-defying skill is very awesome, it may not necessarily speed up the cultivation speed. It can only ensure that you have an advantage over the cultivators of the same level and can go further. Generally, very NB skills are even slower than ordinary skills in practice, and it is definitely much more difficult to practice high-level skills than low-level skills.

After a while of silence, Zhang Heng gradually calmed down. Since things had come to this point, he would not complain any more.

"What do you want from me?" Zhang Heng looked at the old Taoist priest with a expressionless face.

The old Taoist priest seemed to be able to feel Zhang Heng's mood and persuaded him: "Young man, don't be discouraged. This set of heaven-defying skills will definitely not disappoint you. Well, since it's a transaction, I want to get what I need."

"What do you want on me?" Zhang Heng didn't believe that there would be any good things on him.

A strange smile appeared on the old Taoist priest's face: "What I want is your life."

"Take my life?" Zhang Heng smiled mockingly, not expecting that the thing the old Taoist priest said was his own life.

Isn't it just a death? Zhang Heng didn't care much about this. At most, he would burst out some things and would be resurrected in a while. After all, it was just a game and he was still very open-minded.

"Are you ready?" The old Taoist priest npc smiled at him.

"Come on." Zhang Heng's answer was very plain. He was not the first player to die at the hands of NPC.

The old Taoist priest nodded, stretched out his arm like a dead tree, and a ripples of nothingness floated towards Zhang Heng.

The moment the ripples of nothingness floated on Zhang Heng, he felt a sense of danger - this was not a sense of crisis in the game, but a natural sense of death when a creature faced death.

As his eyes turned dark, Zhang Heng's body fell to the ground, and he was dead.

System: The server is attacked by unknown viruses, please all players quickly go offline.

...

At the same time, Zhang Heng, who was wearing a game helmet in reality, died suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face.
