[Ding! Congratulations on clearing the Hell difficulty of Snowstorm Prison! All members gain 150,000 cultivation points! Clear time: 3 hours 10 minutes. Rating: Perfect! Additional reward: 50,000 cultivation points for all members, 10 Perfect Clearance Lucky Bags!]
A surge of spiritual energy flowed into the ten members. Gu Qiuxue, who was at the later stage of Foundation Establishment, instantly maxed out her cultivation.
Following Lin Jichen's instructions, she took out the breakthrough materials she had prepared and broke through to the Crystal Realm on the spot.
Not long after reaching the initial bottleneck of the Crystal Realm, her experience maxed out again. After consuming a breakthrough elixir, she advanced to the mid-stage of Crystal Formation, and then to the later stage of Crystal Formation!
She leveled up three times in a row.
Even Gu Qiuxue found it incredible. The speed of leveling up was just too fast.
After the game update, the cultivation experience from the Secret Realm could be stored.
This meant that even if your cultivation was maxed out, the experience gained in the Secret Realm would be stored in your body and automatically returned to you once you broke through to the next realm.
The Snowstorm Prison provided a total of 200,000 cultivation points, enough for many people to level up several times.
Liu Xiazi broke through to the Golden Elixir stage, and Niu Naitang reached the later stage of Crystal Formation.
Although Lin Jichen didn't break through, he was close to the bottleneck with the 200,000 experience points.
The most exaggerated was Zhao Baige, who jumped from Qi Refining directly to the Crystal Realm!
What took others months to achieve, she accomplished in one Secret Realm run.
Of course, the prerequisite was to prepare all the breakthrough materials and elixirs.
And to clear the Hell difficulty of Snowstorm Prison.
Other players didn't have someone like Lin Jichen to rely on.
Everyone opened their ten Perfect Clearance Lucky Bags, finding ten medium-grade Spirit Stones and one Earth Grade gem with random attributes inside.
Another wave of harvest.
"Let's log out and rest. I just want to sleep," Lin Jichen said to everyone, dragging his exhausted body.
The girls knew Lin Jichen had indeed expended a lot of energy this time and looked at him with some heartache, cooperating as they left the Secret Realm.
As soon as they exited, they heard a server-wide announcement.
[Congratulations to 'Moon Shadow Squad' for completing the first Hell difficulty Snowstorm Prison Secret Realm in 'Tale of Immortal'! All members receive 20,000 Reputation points! Each member is awarded a medal, one Earth Grade Martial Arts Technique Dao Heart Fruit, and one Mysterious Grade Spirit Skill Dao Heart Fruit. We wish all players success in their martial paths!]
The name "Moon Shadow Squad" was something Jiang Luoyu had discussed with Lin Jichen before. She needed to boost her guild's reputation and naturally wanted to use her guild's name.
Lin Jichen had no objections. He was actually worried about his own fame being too high and preferred to keep a low profile.
To avoid being recognized, the ten of them used teleportation talismans to return to Yongdong City immediately after leaving the Secret Realm, and then used the teleportation array to get back to Fengqu City.
After returning to the city, everyone said their goodbyes. Lin Jichen, exhausted, hurriedly greeted everyone and logged out to sleep.
Jiang Luoyu wanted to say something but couldn't find Lin Jichen's figure. Gu Qiuxue and the others had also logged out and left.
"President, were you planning to tell him you're going to Jiangling tomorrow?" Su Wanling asked quietly, seeing through Jiang Luoyu's thoughts.
Jiang Luoyu, slightly disappointed, replied, "Yes, I wanted to meet him offline, but it seems it's not the right time."
"Are you still going to Jiangling?" Su Wanling asked sneakily.
"Of course, the branch office is opening. I have to go check it out. It's business," Jiang Luoyu said righteously.
Su Wanling didn't say anything, just pouted and thought to herself, "There are so many branch offices, but you never went to check any of them... Clearly, you're using business as an excuse to meet your online boyfriend..."

Of course, she didn't dare say this out loud, fearing she might get fired the next day for stepping into the office with her left foot first (facepalm).
After logging out, Lin Jichen turned over and fell asleep immediately.
When he woke up, it was already noon the next day.
"That was a really good sleep!"
Lin Jichen stretched and finally felt refreshed.
As he opened the door and walked out of his bedroom, the aroma from the kitchen made his stomach growl.
Walking over, he saw Gu Qiuxue busy in the kitchen, while Niu Naitang was sitting at the coffee table in the living room doing homework.
Qin Xiaowei had probably gone to work again, so Niu Naitang, feeling bored, habitually came over. Not only could she get a meal, but she could also do her homework.
Ren Lan was acting as her tutor.
Though calling it tutoring, she wasn't much help and spent most of the time eating sunflower seeds.
"Don't you have any questions you don't understand?" Ren Lan asked in disbelief.
Niu Naitang, without looking up, replied, "Elementary school questions are so simple. Only idiots wouldn't understand them."
Ren Lan smiled and patted her head in approval.
Lin Jichen's mouth twitched, and he quickly ran to the kitchen to help.
"Sis, are you making chicken soup?"
Lin Jichen's mouth watered at the smell.
Gu Qiuxue smiled and scooped a small bowl for him, saying, "Yes, you were so tired yesterday. I thought I'd buy a chicken to make some soup for you. How does it taste?"
Lin Jichen blew on the hot soup and couldn't resist taking a sip. The flavor lingered in his mouth, and his stomach felt warm.
"Delicious! It tastes just like the chicken soup you used to make. Still the same great taste," Lin Jichen praised.
"I'm glad you like it. I'll make it for you again next time," Gu Qiuxue said with a gentle smile.
Lin Jichen couldn't help but hug Gu Qiuxue from behind, burying his head in her fragrant shoulder, and said emotionally, "Sis, it's so good to have you around."
Gu Qiuxue blushed instantly and pushed Lin Jichen away, scolding, "Naughty Little Chen, what are you doing? Little Lan and Tang Tang are still in the living room."
Lin Jichen chuckled, "So, you're saying I can do this if they're not around?"
Gu Qiuxue, extremely embarrassed, quickly pushed him out of the kitchen, even taking away the bowl of chicken soup.
Lin Jichen, both amused and helpless, went back to the living room to chat with Ren Lan.
After a sumptuous lunch, Lin Jichen wanted to return to the game, but Gu Qiuxue suggested he take a day off since he was so tired yesterday.
Ren Lan and Tang Tang both agreed. With three votes in favor, Lin Jichen was forced to change his clothes and go out with them.
Gu Qiuxue wanted to visit some famous spots in Jiangling City, and Lin Jichen naturally agreed. The four of them set out together, hailing a cab.
Lin Jichen sat in the front passenger seat, while the two adults and one child sat in the back.
The driver, an older man, was encountering such good-looking passengers for the first time and kept glancing at the rearview mirror, his eyes showing a hint of lewdness.
Just as Lin Jichen was about to speak, Ren Lan glared at the driver and shouted, "If you keep sneaking glances, I'll make sure you end up in the hospital today!"
The driver immediately shrank his neck and focused on driving, not daring to look again.
Lin Jichen couldn't help but laugh. Having Ren Lan around indeed made things much safer.
To cover the awkwardness, the driver turned on the car radio, which was broadcasting the news.
Everyone listened to the news out of boredom, looking out the window as they waited to reach their destination.
A piece of news caught their attention.
[he Jiang Group's Jiangling branch office held its ribbon-cutting ceremony in the city center today and is recruiting elites in Jiangling City. The recruitment event was packed with people...]
