Chapter 330: Chapter 114: The Gathering of the Three Heroes, Pleasant Cooperation (End of Volume Two)

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use pondered for a moment, "You do have a point, but this matter still needs discussion. By the way, Feng, shouldn’t you be submitting your application now?"

"Application?"

"An application to join the core members. Remember you promised when I helped you get the Escape Light Talismans? We’re all brothers here."

Xiao Jie thought, they really are waiting on me, and naturally, he had said this before.

He promptly replied wholeheartedly, "Of course, once a man makes a promise, he must keep it like a team of horses cannot chase it back. I think it is time to truly join the Dragon Soaring Knights family. However, my friend, there are some things I must say upfront, and you’ll need to agree to three conditions for me first."

"First, even though I join the core members, I have my own action plans. Sometimes I have my personal tasks, and if I’m not available for some activities, I hope you can understand.

Second, staying alive is the primary goal in gaming, which I believe you can understand. Therefore, if I feel the guild’s mission is too risky, I can refuse it.

Third, if the guild’s way of doing things goes against my own will, I reserve the right to leave, and the guild should not make it difficult for me."

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use was speechless for a moment, "Hey Feng, you can’t do this. I got the Escape Light Talismans for you, helped you with the loan, and even gave you a Top-Grade mount. We already call each other brothers, but now you’ve brought up these three conditions, isn’t it the same as not joining at all?"

Xiao Jie laughed, "Haha, that’s not how you should see it. I will still bear the responsibilities of a core member. It’s just that if the responsibility exceeds my capabilities or brings me too much danger, I need more autonomy. Don’t take it too hard. I’m just saying, if the guild needs something done, I’ll do it, just to be on the safe side."

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use said, "Your conditions are too demanding, the guild leader will not agree."

"No, he will agree, because this time I’ve brought back a big gift for the guild leader."

"A big gift?"

Xiao Jie smiled faintly, "That’s right, just tell the guild leader, and he will definitely accept it."

————————

"A big gift? Hidden Moon Following Wind said that?" In the private chat channel, after hearing Hidden Dragon Do Not Use’s report, Long Xingtianxia asked in surprise.

"Yes, guild leader, that’s what he said."

"But what exactly is this big gift?"

"He said on his latest adventure, he discovered Ancient Ruins, left behind by an ancient Immortal, containing countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, precious materials, and Ancient Ultimate Skills, all inscribed on the walls for repeated observation and study.

If we can take control of it, it will be of great benefit to our guild’s development.

However, he said that the ruins can only be opened when his Qi Refining Skill reaches the Golden Core Realm, and if we help him reach the Golden Core Realm, he can then lead the Dragon Soaring Knights to unlock the secret realm.

He also mentioned that there might be a guardian BOSS inside the secret realm, and this BOSS’s loot will be tremendously valuable. However, it’s quite powerful, so we’ll need to be well-prepared to overcome it.

If we want to take over this secret realm, we must kill this BOSS."

Long Xingtianxia laughed heartily after hearing this, "This kid wants to use us, that guardian BOSS is probably the boss from his personal quest."

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use angrily said, "Damn it! How can he be like this?"

Long Xingtianxia laughed, "Haha, it’s nothing, everyone has their own needs. Besides, if he’s truly scheming like this, it means the BOSS must be real, hence the treasures in the ruins must be real too. We kill the BOSS, take the secret realm, and if he gets to do his quest along the way, what’s the harm? I’ll have a chat with him myself to find out what’s really going on."

————————

At that very moment, Xiao Jie was catching up with an old friend.

On the second floor of the Luoyang Town tavern, Xiao Jie finally met with I Want to Be Immortal, who had returned from Xuanxu Palace.

"Wuuu, Feng, I finally see you again, I’ve missed you so much."

Xiao Jie was somewhat speechless, looking at I Want to Be Immortal in front of him, and thought to himself, how did he become so foolish since we last met.

"Alright, alright, from now on, just keep following me. Hey, have you been leveling up quickly?"

When they had parted ways before, they were both around Level 13-14, but to his surprise, I Want to Be Immortal was now Level 19, one level higher than himself.

Xiao Jie was somewhat taken aback; did miscellaneous tasks really give experience points?

"Don’t even mention it, Feng, it’s tough to do miscellaneous tasks in Xuanxu Palace. Aside from working for others and doing chores, I also have to kill demons and ghosts."

I Want to Be Immortal explained half showing off, half explaining.

As it turned out, Xuanxu Palace would often send disciples to suppress demons and ghosts at the foot of their mountain. To avoid sending these disciples out alone, leading to accidents, they would sometimes provide them with guards, serving as meat shields in the front lines. These guards were part of an organization within Xuanxu Palace called Demon-suppressing Guards, a kind of special Task.

Occasionally, they would select some people from the miscellaneous tasks to fulfill this duty, and among the miscellaneous workers of Xuanxu Palace were many worldly society martial arts experts who had ended up there for various reasons, such as having their children possessed by a ghost and then being saved by a Taoist of Xuanxu Palace but not having money, so they would sell themselves into servitude there.

Even though I Want to Be Immortal wasn’t great at studying the Taoist Scripture and hadn’t even passed the exam, he truly had some talent when it came to fighting. Each time he took on the guard task, he did extremely well. Relying on his Top-Grade Equipment, sometimes he even performed excellently.
