Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

Xue Tianhan, Xiao Qi, Green Snake Lady and others sat together in a solemn atmosphere, and everyone was carefully analyzing the pros and cons.

Xue Tianhan spoke first, "If we go to help Lord Liu Bei, we might face many unknown dangers, but we might also gain more resources and opportunities for growth. Furthermore, if we can make some contribution to the people of the world in the process, our journey through this game world will be worthwhile."

Xiao Qi nodded slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes. "But we still need to complete the mission in the game. If we delay the mission because of helping Lord Liu Bei, will there be any bad consequences?"

Madam Green Snake continued, "Perhaps we can make some reasonable demands to ensure that our interests and responsibilities are balanced."

Hu Meiniang also expressed her opinion: "But we don't know the situation on Lord Liu Bei's side. If we go there rashly, can we really get the benefits we hope for?"

After a heated discussion, everyone finally decided to go with Zhang Fei to pay a visit to Lord Liu Bei first, and make further decisions after understanding the specific situation.

They know that this choice is full of risks, but it is also very likely to be an opportunity for them to move to a higher level in this gaming world.

Unfortunately, Xue Tianhan and the others also learned about the game's announcement. They knew it wasn't time to leave yet. According to the announcement, players could choose one of the Three Kingdoms nations based on their preferences and then teleport there via the three teleportation arrays in Baiyun Square. It wasn't time for the game to open yet, so they could only wait patiently.

Everyone sat together in silence, pondering their future path. Xue Tianhan was the first to break the silence. He frowned slightly and said slowly, "Although we have decided to meet Lord Liu Bei, the new module is about to be launched, which makes things more complicated. We must balance the game mission with assisting Lord Liu Bei."

Xiao Qi bit her lip lightly, a trace of confusion in her eyes: "Yes, we don't know what challenges and opportunities the new module will bring. If we leave now, we might miss something important."

Lady Green Snake nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "We do need to consider this carefully. The opening of a new module could potentially change the entire landscape of the game world. We can't make decisions blindly."

Hu Meiniang also interjected, "Besides, we don't know yet whether the new module will offer more favorable options for us. Perhaps we can wait for the new module to be opened and understand the situation before making a decision."

Xue Tianhan pondered for a moment and said, "Everyone has their reasons. However, General Zhang Fei is here awaiting our decision, and we can't keep him waiting too long."

Xiao Qi suggested, "Why don't we first explain the situation to General Zhang Fei and ask him to give us some time to consider. In the meantime, we can also keep an eye on the new module's developments and make preparations."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Xue Tianhan then stood up and walked towards Zhang Fei, saying respectfully, "General Zhang, I'm truly sorry. We have something urgent to attend to and need some time to consider whether we should go and see Lord Liu Bei now. I hope you can understand."

Zhang Fei frowned slightly, recalling the brilliant tips from Zhuge Liang. He then opened the last of the tips and said proudly, "That's all right. If that's the case, I'll go ahead. You can return to Shuzhong with these tips."

Xue Tianhan said gratefully, "Thank you, General Zhang, for your understanding. We will make a decision as soon as possible."

Returning to the group, Xue Tianhan said, "Now we can only patiently wait for the new module to be unlocked, while keeping a close eye on the developments in the game world. If there are any new developments, we must discuss countermeasures promptly."

While waiting, everyone was not idle. Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi decided to go to the Weapon Refining Pavilion to take a look.

They came to the weapon refining pavilion and found the weapon refining master Liu Neng.

When Liu Neng saw them, he greeted them warmly: "Dear guests, what do you need?"

Xue Tianhan smiled and said, "I heard that Master Liu can forge top-grade spiritual weapons. You are so powerful, so we want to see if you have any equipment that is suitable for us."

Liu Neng said modestly, "It's just luck. Do you have any specific needs?"

Xue Tianhan said, "We are short of high-grade spiritual weapons. I want to see if I can buy one or two, preferably knee pads and wrist pads."

"If you're talking about top-grade spiritual weapons and armor, we have two ready-made ones here. But I lack the main materials for the knee pads and wrist guards, so you need to provide the materials yourself before I can make them for you." Liu Neng explained.

"I wonder what materials are needed?" Xue Tianhan asked.

“We need the hide of an adult golden ox, the shell of a black tortoise, and celestial ivory.

But I have to make one thing clear, my success rate in refining top-grade spiritual weapons is only 30%, so you need to prepare three batches of refining materials.

In addition, you will need to pay me a large amount of spirit stones as compensation."

Madam Green Snake frowned in shock and said, "These materials are not easy to find. These are high-level spirit beasts, born at the Foundation Establishment stage. When they grow up, each one will reach the Spirit Severing stage. Hunting them is very difficult. Moreover, they don't need three portions, which makes it even more difficult."

Xiao Qi said, "Is there any other way? We really want to create these two top-grade spiritual weapons."

Liu Neng thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps you can go to the auction house and have a look. You might be able to find some relevant materials. Or, you can also explore the secret realm and look for these spirit beasts."

Xue Tianhan nodded and said, "Both methods can be considered. However, exploring the secret realm is risky, so we need to be fully prepared."

So they decided to go to the auction house first. Inside the auction house, they searched everywhere for the materials they needed. However, they did not find the golden ox hide, black tortoise shell, or celestial ivory.

Xue Tianhan said somewhat disappointedly, "It seems the auction house doesn't have the materials we need. We can only consider exploring the secret realm."

Xiao Qi said worriedly, "Exploring the secret realm is too dangerous. Do we really want to go?"

Lady Green Snake also arrived at the auction house at this time. After hearing their conversation, she said, "Exploring the secret realm is indeed dangerous, but if we are well prepared, we are not without a chance. Moreover, the new module is about to be opened, so it is very necessary for us to improve our strength."

Hu Meiniang also said: "That's right, we all go to the secret realm together and take care of each other. This can reduce the risk."

After some discussion, they decided to form a team to explore the secret land in search of golden ox hide, black tortoise shell, and celestial ivory. They began to prepare various supplies and equipment and formulate a detailed expedition plan.

The group decided to head to the Dinghu Secret Realm in the northern part of the East Palace to search for the Black Turtle Shell. Before setting off, they made thorough preparations. Xue Tianhan carefully checked his equipment, ensuring it could handle any emergency situations in the secret realm.

As Xiao Qi sorted out the medicines and props, he said, "I don't know how dangerous this Dinghu Secret Realm is. I'm so nervous."

Lady Green Snake comforted him, "Don't worry, with so many of us together, we can definitely handle any situation."

Hu Meiniang also nodded and said, "Yes, we must believe in our own strength."

They set out on a journey to the secret realm of Dinghu. Along the way, they moved forward cautiously and remained vigilant at all times.

Dinghu Secret Realm is located in a remote area in the west of Dongfu. The surrounding environment is harsh and full of various unknown dangers. They flew over dense forests and crossed steep mountains and finally arrived at the entrance of Dinghu Secret Realm.

At the entrance, a mysterious aura filled the air. Xue Tianhan and the others stopped and carefully observed their surroundings. They discovered a powerful barrier at the entrance, blocking their path.

Xue Tianhan frowned and said, "This barrier is very powerful. We need to find a way to break it before we can enter the secret realm."

Xiao Qi thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can find some special magic weapons or props to break this barrier."

Madam Green Snake nodded and said, "That's right, we can look around and see if there are any clues."

So, they began to search for clues around the entrance. After some effort, they finally found an ancient stone tablet. There were some strange words and patterns engraved on the stone tablet, which seemed to be an ancient formation.

Xue Tianhan carefully studied the words and patterns on the stone tablet, trying to decipher the mystery contained therein.

Hu Meiniang asked from the side: "Sir, have you figured out anything?"

Xue Tianhan shook his head and said, "Not yet. These characters and patterns are very complicated and require time to study."

After a period of effort, he finally found a way to break the barrier.

Following the instructions on the stone tablet, they cast a special spell and successfully broke the barrier. After the barrier disappeared, they walked into the Dinghu Secret Realm.

In the secret realm, a mystical landscape unfolded before them. Here were dense forests, large, clear lakes, precipitous mountains, and all sorts of bizarre creatures. They advanced cautiously, remaining vigilant at all times.

In the secret realm, they encountered many dangers and challenges. They were attacked by powerful monsters and encountered mysterious traps and obstacles. However, they relied on their own strength and the help of energy cannons to overcome danger time and time again.

As they explored further, they finally found the Black Turtle Shell, which was located in a mysterious stone cave beside a lake, guarded by powerful monsters.

Xue Tianhan and others approached the cave cautiously, preparing to engage in a fierce battle with the monster.

Xiao Qi said nervously, "These monsters look so powerful. Can we defeat them?"

Lady Green Snake said, "Don't be afraid, we have so many people, we can definitely do it."

They formulated a detailed battle plan, divided the work and cooperated with each other, preparing to defeat the monster in one fell swoop and obtain the black tortoise shell.

The battle began, and the monsters, ferocious and fierce, launched a fierce attack. A giant black turtle rushed out first, its shell as hard as steel. It opened its mouth and spewed a powerful stream of water towards the crowd.

Xue Tianhan quickly used his domineering body and at the same time sacrificed a high-level Vajra Talisman to form a shield in front of him to block the attack of the water column.

The Green Snake Lady took the opportunity to circle behind the Black Turtle, waving the Vermillion Bird Fan in her hand and attacking the Black Turtle's legs. The Black Turtle sensed the danger and quickly retracted its legs, while swinging its tail and sweeping towards the Green Snake Lady.

Upon seeing this, Hu Meiniang quickly swung out the dragon bone whip and hit the black turtle's tail, deflecting its attack.

Xiaoqi and the others were not idle either. She, Xiaohuang, Xiaohei and the others kept firing at the black turtle, weakening its strength.

Everyone worked together to fight a fierce battle with the black tortoise. Although the black tortoise was powerful, it gradually showed signs of fatigue under the attacks of everyone.

After a hard battle, they finally defeated the monster and successfully obtained the black tortoise shell.

They held the black tortoise shell, their hearts filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment. One third of the three refining materials had been completed.
