"Are you sure you want to buy it? You should check the attributes of this dress first."
Lin Jichen handed the dress over.
Su Wanling initially thought it was just a beautiful ordinary dress, but when she took a closer look, her face fell.
This wasn't just a dress; it was clearly an 'artifact.'
Such a high-quality Earth Grade equipment would cost at least tens of millions of Chinese Yuan or several tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
Currently, Earth Grade equipment is priced around this range.
Not long ago, Jiang Luoyu bought the Extreme Demon Spear from Lin Jichen for seventy thousand Spirit Stones plus five million in cash.
Although Su Wanling had a high salary, earning tens of millions annually, she could afford it if she wanted to.
But spending tens of millions on a piece of equipment was something she couldn't bring herself to do.
"I can't afford this dress, but it's okay. Our guild leader can definitely afford it. Give it to her."
Su Wanling decisively gave up on the dress.
Although she felt a bit reluctant, she was a rational and principled person who would never make impulsive purchases or casually accept gifts from others.
Just the fact that Lin Jichen offered to give it to her made her very happy.
Su Wanling sent a picture of the dress to Jiang Luoyu, and in the next second, Jiang Luoyu replied: Buy it! Definitely buy it!
Spending tens of millions on a dress was like buying groceries for Jiang Luoyu.
Moreover, this dress was an Earth Grade equipment, making it even more necessary to buy.
In the end, Jiang Luoyu offered sixty thousand Spirit Stones, and the deal was done.
Lin Jichen then checked the third item, which was a jade slip.
Items stored in jade slips were generally not ordinary.
【Earth Grade Technique · Geomancy】:
Allows detection within a fifty-mile radius of weather, terrain, mountains, spiritual energy, etc., and can also detect nearby treasures, beast dens, or cultivator tombs.
Cooldown time: 24 hours, Mana consumption: points.
Lin Jichen was delighted. He had thought it was a skill book for a Spirit Skill or Ultimate Technique.
Unexpectedly, it was a technique book, and an Earth Grade Geomancy technique at that.
This was a priceless treasure. Many hidden treasures in "Tale of Immortal" required Geomancy to locate.
Sometimes, with good luck, one could even find the tomb of a powerful cultivator, often uncovering valuable items.
He immediately chose to learn it, and his technique bar now had Geomancy in addition to Herbalism.
The last Earth Grade item was a gemstone.
【Earth Grade Gemstone · Wind Chime Stone】: Inlaid in protective gear, it can increase speed by 30 points, and dodge by 2%.
The remaining Mysterious Grade items were mostly equipment for other professions, but there were two items that were quite good.
【Mysterious Grade Movement Technique · Wind God Step】: During combat, speed increases by 10 points every 30 seconds, up to a total of 10 times.
【Mysterious Grade Fruit · Sword Spirit Fruit】: For those with swordsmanship aptitude below 50%, consuming this fruit can increase swordsmanship aptitude by 10%.
Lin Jichen decisively learned the movement technique.
As for the Sword Spirit Fruit, it was useless to him because his swordsmanship aptitude was already at 95%.
"What's your swordsmanship aptitude?" Lin Jichen asked Su Wanling.
"10%, not bad, right? Many sword cultivators only have 1%. This is thanks to my innate fortune 'Sword Dance' boosting it."
Su Wanling said with a hint of pride.
Lin Jichen rolled his eyes and handed her the fruit.
Su Wanling took it and exclaimed in surprise, "Why don't you use such a good thing?"
"Don't lie, aren't you a sword cultivator too? Wait, do you mean your swordsmanship aptitude has surpassed 50%?"
"It's alright, I'm not that dumb," Lin Jichen said with a smile.
"Wow! What kind of Heaven-defying Fate do you have that even boosts swordsmanship aptitude? I refuse to accept this!" Su Wanling complained.
No one knew what Lin Jichen's Heaven-defying Fate was, only that his innate talent had always been ranked first on the talent leaderboard and had never dropped.
"It's a secret. Do you want it or not? If not, I'll auction it."
"Want! Definitely want!"
Su Wanling quickly pocketed it and swallowed it immediately, fearing Lin Jichen might change his mind.
"By the way, how much is this fruit? I'll transfer the money to you."
Lin Jichen shook his head and said, "It's a gift."
"No, this fruit may not be as expensive as the dress, but it can still fetch a good price. You're losing out too much," Su Wanling insisted.
Lin Jichen had no choice but to say, "We'll talk about it when we get back. I'll check the price at the auction house then."
"Alright, that works!"
"Alright, let's hurry and complete the mission. It's getting dark," Lin Jichen said.
Su Wanling led her team to continue searching for Wind Spirit Fragments in Storm Valley.
Lin Jichen calmly began to meditate and recover his state.
He didn't know that the footage of his battle with the Chibi Bird had already been recorded by players and uploaded online.
After watching it, players across the internet were speechless.
Although they didn't know the Chibi Bird's cultivation or attributes, just from the intensity of the battle, it was clear that it was at least at the Golden Core Realm.
Lin Jichen's realm could be found on the cultivation leaderboard, mid-stage of Crystal Formation, ranked in the hundreds of thousands.
In terms of realm, Lin Jichen was unremarkable.
But in terms of strength, no one had the confidence to defeat him.
Especially his final strike that executed the Chibi Bird, slicing a mountain in half. The scene was too shocking.
After watching the video, many players were eager to switch to sword cultivation.
Even new players who hadn't started yet were determined to play as sword cultivators.
Three days passed quickly.
Apart from encountering the Chibi Bird on the first day, the rest of the time was peaceful.
Others were responsible for finding Wind Spirit Fragments, while Lin Jichen wandered around them, protecting their safety and gathering herbs in the valley.
He even used Geomancy twice, but unfortunately found nothing.
The only thing he found was a cultivator's tomb, but it was just a Foundation Establishment Realm tomb with nothing valuable. After digging for half a day, he only found a few bottles of ordinary elixirs, which made Lin Jichen curse in frustration.
The experience ended, and everyone gathered together again.
"Everyone has completed their experience, so let's return to the sect."
Lin Jichen took out a teleportation talisman, and everyone else also had one.
Teleportation talismans were usually expensive, and ordinary players couldn't afford them.
But for this experience mission, the sect provided a free teleportation talisman, so there was no need to worry about walking back.
Just as they were about to return to submit their mission, the sky suddenly darkened, and a black cloud covered everyone's heads.
Many black-robed figures appeared around them in an instant.
Lin Jichen's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Quick! Use the teleportation talisman to leave!"
It was the first time everyone saw Lin Jichen so anxious. Even when facing the Chibi Bird, he was calm and collected.
Sensing something was wrong, everyone quickly tried to use their teleportation talismans to escape.
But they found that the talismans were ineffective!
"Me neither, what's going on?"
