This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Jiang Liu stared intently at the three immortal materials in Xuanzhen Daoist's hand, his eyes practically glued to them.

"Thank you very much, Senior Xuanzhen!"

Jiang Liu suppressed his overwhelming joy and quickly stepped forward to take the three immortal materials, examining their attributes.

【Dragon Pattern Chalcedony】

【Chaotic Divine Crystal】

Jiang Liu: “!!!!”

Surprised!

This Celestial-grade material even shows the map where it's produced!
Deep Sea Dragon Domain, Flaming Mountain Phoenix Domain, Chaotic Demon Domain!

You can find these three types of immortal-grade materials by going to these three maps!

Ok?
Why is there another Demon Realm?
Jiang Liu was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly opened the map of Zhongzhou to take a look.

I looked left and right, up and down, but I couldn't find any of these three types of maps.

Got it, the hidden map, right?
Jiang Liu pursed his lips, suppressing his excitement, and put the three immortal-grade materials back into his backpack.

Seeing how much he treasured it, Master Xuanzhen stroked his beard and smiled: "Young friend Jiang, there's no need to be so polite. This is what you deserve. With your talent and temperament, your future achievements will surely far surpass those of this old man. These immortal materials are truly being put to good use in your hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cultivators in the square erupted in exclamations of amazement once again.

Dragon-patterned chalcedony, phoenix feathers, and chaotic divine crystals—any one of these is a rare and highly sought-after material. The Taiyi Immortal Alliance has actually offered three of these as rewards at once, a gesture that is simply beyond imagination.

"Senior Jiang is indeed the chosen one; this reward is too generous!"

"With these three immortal materials, Senior Jiang will probably be able to forge his own immortal artifact in no time!"

"At that time, our Taiyi Immortal Alliance will have another immortal artifact to protect the alliance and deter the demonic path!"

Amid the murmurs, Master Xuanzhen raised his hand to quiet the square, and it instantly fell silent.

He glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Although we have won a great victory in this battle against the demons, the demonic path is deeply rooted, and it is hard to guarantee that there will be no survivors. The follow-up cleanup work will require the concerted efforts of all fellow Daoists. We must not let our guard down."

"Furthermore, Young Friend Jiang has made outstanding contributions and possesses the Five Elements Dao Body, with boundless potential. This old Daoist has decided to recommend Young Friend Jiang to join the Taiyi Immortal Alliance Council and serve as a council member. Does anyone have any objections?"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!

The Taiyi Immortal Alliance Council is the core of power in the entire Central Continent's righteous path. Jiang Liu is only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, yet he can directly become a council member. This is an unprecedented honor!
However, they had no reason to object; what right did the NPCs have to object to the planner's decision?
"Senior Xuanzhen is wise! Senior Jiang's achievements are outstanding, and he is more than capable of taking on this role!"

"I have no objection!"

Congratulations, Director Jiang!

The cultivators echoed his sentiments, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at Jiang Liu.

They all knew that from this moment on, the righteous path of Zhongzhou would welcome a new legendary figure.

"Thank you, Senior Xuanzhen, and thank you, fellow Daoists!"

Jiang Liu cupped his hands to Xuanzhen Daoist and the others, and said sincerely, "Jiang Liu will certainly live up to everyone's expectations. In the future, I will do my best to assist the Immortal Alliance, slay demons and monsters, and protect the peace of Zhongzhou!"

Congratulations on becoming a council member of the Central Continent - Taiyi Immortal Alliance!

You will have partial access to the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.

You will be able to command NPCs below the Fusion stage.

You will be able to exchange for Immortal-Rank items in the Taiyi Immortal Alliance Treasury.

You will be able to command up to ten righteous sects to fight for you.

[Please check for more privileges yourself]

Here it comes, here it comes!
Hearing the series of system voices in his mind, Jiang Liu was overjoyed. From today onwards, he was a person with status!
All that hard work these past few days has really paid off!
If you manage to summon NPCs below the Fusion stage, and a large number of players enter Zhongzhou in the future, and they dare to use gang-up tactics against you, then don't blame him for summoning NPCs.

Can I summon ten righteous sects and kill them all to farm experience points?

Most importantly, once he has council authority, he can exchange for celestial items in the Immortal Alliance Treasury!
Now he has the materials for immortal-grade artifacts, all he needs are the blueprints for immortal weapons!
The Taiyi Immortal Alliance's treasury is his only source of information on immortal artifact blueprints!

Jiang Liu is already considering which immortal artifact to exchange for.

Xuanzhen Daoist was very satisfied with Jiang Liu's attitude and nodded, saying, "Since that's the case, let's not delay. Let's hold the appointment ceremony here today and announce it to the world!"

Then, Xuanzhen Daoist took out a golden token with five ancient characters engraved on it: "Taiyi Lishi" (太乙理事), which exuded a rich spiritual energy.

He handed the token to Jiang Liu: "This is the council token. With this token, you can mobilize the resources of the Immortal Alliance, control the sects in various states, and in case of emergency, you can act first and report later!"

The inauguration ceremony was simple yet solemn. With a command from the Taoist Xuanzhen, the resounding bell tolled throughout the entire Central Plains.

The news spread like wildfire, shocking both righteous cultivators and hidden remnants of the demonic path.

"Senior, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Jiang Liu bowed to Xuanzhen Daoist again to take his leave, then eagerly opened the Zhongzhou map and teleported back to Taiyi Immortal City.

Anyway, he had already completed his mission and received his reward, so what happened next was none of his business.

Return to town and open the treasure vault!

Taiyi Immortal City, as the core hub of the righteous path in Zhongzhou, is currently bustling with activity due to the birth of a new council member.

The cultivators lining the streets of the city stopped and followed Jiang Liu's figure with reverence, their voices rising and falling in discussion.

"That must be Director Jiang, right? To be able to become a director of the Immortal Alliance at the late Nascent Soul stage is truly an unprecedented feat!"

"I heard that he made unparalleled contributions in the battle against demons, and even Senior Xuanzhen praised him highly!"

"With such a figure presiding over the Immortal Alliance, the peace and tranquility of our Central Plains will be even more secure!"

These discussions drifted past Jiang Liu's ears, but his mind was already filled with thoughts of the upcoming trip to the treasure trove.

His mind was completely focused on the Immortal Rank blueprints, and his pace quickened. Before long, he arrived at the core area of ​​Taiyi Immortal City, the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance.

As Jiang Liu arrived at the entrance of the Immortal Alliance headquarters, two guards clad in silver armor and exuding a calm demeanor immediately stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Greetings, Director Jiang!"

They were the Nascent Soul stage cultivators whom the Immortal Alliance had arranged to guard the headquarters here. Sensing the pressure emanating from Jiang Liu's token, their expressions became even more respectful.

"Comrades and fellow Daoists, you've worked hard."

Jiang Liu smiled slightly at them and walked straight into the Immortal Alliance headquarters.

Upon entering the Immortal Alliance headquarters, he went to the reception desk to find the fairy, showed his council member token, and said, "I am a council member, and I wish to open the Immortal Alliance Treasury!"

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

The receptionist gave Jiang Liu a sweet smile, her attitude much better than the last time they met. With a wave of her hand, a light screen appeared in the center of the treasure vault, clearly listing the immortal-grade items and blueprints available for exchange by the council members.

Which is more attractive: the sweet smile of the fairy NPC or the fairy-tier items?

Of course, it's a Celestial-grade item!

Jiang Liu didn't even glance at the fairy; his gaze was immediately drawn to the light screen, and he couldn't wait to browse through it.

The first thing that catches the eye are five immortal-grade items, each with detailed attributes.

Jiang Liu: “????”

Only five immortal-grade items?
How come there are only five immortal-grade items?

Jiang Liu was very dissatisfied. As a director of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, am I only allowed to exchange for five immortal-grade items within the alliance?

Although I'm somewhat dissatisfied, I have to admit that Celestial-grade items are still powerful!

The Star Trail Teleportation Talisman was practically tailor-made for him. With it, he could directly travel to the three hidden maps: the Deep Sea Dragon Domain, the Flame Mountain Phoenix Domain, and the Chaos Demon Domain, without having to bother searching for them anymore.

Of course, this is on the premise that the coordinates of these three maps have already been detected by the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.

They must have already investigated, otherwise where would these celestial-grade items have come from?

The Nine Yang True Fire Jade is crucial for refining immortal artifacts, increasing the success rate by 90%, which is almost a 100% success rate.

If he fails to refine this immortal artifact, he can quit the game on the spot.

The Chaos Armor Plates offer enhanced defense and can be fused into immortal artifacts, making them equally formidable.

The Enlightenment Lamp can increase experience gain efficiency by 500%, making leveling up faster.

The paralyzing effect of Thunder Sand.
It's pretty good, isn't it?

"These tools are so useful!"

Jiang Liu sighed inwardly, but showed no joy on his face.

Exchange requirement: Board member contribution points!!!

His Immortal Alliance contribution points are not enough to exchange for Immortal-rank items!
If you want to exchange for Celestial-grade items, you also need to increase your Council Member Contribution Points!

Damn it, how do you calculate the contribution level for council members?
Jiang Liu cursed inwardly, then lightly tapped the light screen with his finger, turned a page, and a shop with five more immortal artifact blueprints appeared.

After looking at the five blueprints for immortal artifacts, Jiang Liu's breathing became rapid.

I want them all!

Even if you gave him all the blueprints for these magical artifacts, he still wouldn't be able to forge them.

Each immortal artifact requires ten immortal-grade materials to be crafted, and he currently only has three.

In other words, he also had to farm seven pieces of immortal-grade materials himself in order to forge an immortal artifact.

Oh, it will cost another 1 million spirit stones.

Where can I farm Immortal-rank materials?
In three hidden maps.

How do I get to the hidden map?
Use the Star Trail Teleportation Token.

How do I obtain Star Trail Teleportation Tokens?

It requires the contribution of council members.

So the question is, where do we get the contribution points for board members?
Jiang Liu withdrew his gaze and looked at the fairy NPC, asking, "How do I obtain council contribution points?"

"It's very simple."

The fairy NPC smiled and said, "Go to the dangerous area and collect the materials needed by the Immortal Alliance to gain Immortal Alliance contribution points."

What materials does the Immortal Alliance need?

Jiang Liu asked again.

"Dragon-patterned chalcedony, phoenix feathers, Chaos Divine Crystal and other immortal-grade materials."

The fairy NPC replied.

Jiang Liu: “.”

Does the Taiyi Immortal Alliance also need Immortal-rank materials?

What a coincidence, I want one too!
Jiang Liu looked at the fairy NPC speechlessly. Did she mean to treat me like a tool?

You think you can just send me to dig up immortal-grade materials for you?!
"I also want to go to the dangerous area, but I don't know the coordinates."

Jiang Liu tentatively asked, "Can you tell me where the danger zone is?"

"of course."

The fairy NPC smiled and said, "The map coordinates of the dangerous area can be obtained with just 500 council contribution points."

Jiang Liu: "??????" (End of Chapter)
