Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

In the chaotic space, Xue Tianhan's spiritual sense was like a sharp gaze. With a light sweep, he saw Xiao Qi pacing back and forth anxiously, his steps quick and his expression full of worry.

"Xiao Qi, I'm back." Xue Tianhan's voice was anxious but filled with unconcealable joy. Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed and he appeared beside Xiao Qi like a ghost.

Xiao Qi looked up at the sound, a light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a reassuring smile: "You're finally back. I've been so worried about you. Are you okay?"

Xue Tianhan pulled Xiao Qi to sit on the stone bench and recounted his previous experiences in detail:

“Before, I was suddenly struck by severe pain without any warning. The pain seemed to tear my soul apart, and my realm continued to plummet. It was unbearable, and I had no choice but to withdraw my divine consciousness.

Fortunately, I finally made it through, and my realm is now temporarily stable at level 49. I think the game may not be open to level 50 yet."

"Oh, it's all my fault. I couldn't help you find a way to resolve the problem." Xiao Qi blamed herself. She had actually expected such a predicament a long time ago, but Xue Tianhan couldn't step into the space. She had a lot of skills but was helpless.

Xue Tianhan nodded slightly, then looked at Xiao Qi gently, his eyes full of concern: "My realm is limited right now, and you are trapped here because of the suppression of the game. You can't stay in this space forever, right? What should we do?"

Xiao Qi smiled calmly, his confidence evident in his words: "You don't have to worry, I have already made plans.

In fact, I have already managed to make my clone bear the influence of realm suppression. At this moment, my original body is no longer bound and can go out and fight alongside you at any time.

However, to be on the safe side, I will suppress my realm to level 49 during this period, and only release it when necessary."

"That's good. Oh, and then the AI ​​Zhi Lao appeared and gave me a quest reward of one million experience points and a chance to draw a spiritual weapon."

At this point, Xue Tianhan paused, a smile spreading across his face, "Guess what, I just casually spun around and actually pulled out a top-grade spiritual weapon, a ring called the Luo Yu Ring."

He stretched out his hand, and the ring shone with a mysterious and charming luster in the dim light.

Xiao Qi's eyes were filled with surprise and joy: "Your luck is hard to find even with a lantern."

Xue Tianhan's smile faded, and his brows furrowed slightly: "This may be related to the Qiyun Mountain and River Map.

Oh, by the way, Master Zhi also assigned me a new task, asking me to assist Lord Liu Bei in defending Shu, and stipulated that I must not attack mortals. Even if they want to take my life, they must be beaten three times before they can fight back.

This rule is really frustrating."

Xiao Qi gently held Xue Tianhan's hand and said in a soft voice, "The rules of this game are getting increasingly bizarre, and there must be a deeper meaning behind them. But since we're here, we'll just make the best of it. It's no big deal. Although this mission is difficult, we're not without solutions."

Xiao Qi slowly stood up and paced lightly, playing with a warm jade hairpin in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he spoke softly:

"Now that we've accepted the mission, we must plan carefully. In my opinion, while mortals may not be as strong as us, their wisdom and strategy are not necessarily inferior.

We might as well first gain an in-depth understanding of the situation in Shuzhong, make friends with some talented heroes, and at the critical moment, let them come forward to check and balance, while we will quietly help in the dark.

Aren't Xiao Hei and the others in your space? Just because we two can't take action doesn't mean Xiao Hei can't."

Xue Tianhan heard this, his eyes filled with surprise and relief: "Xiao Qi, you are really smart. I remember the rules of the game. Each person can have a maximum of two pets, so Xiao Hei is not considered my pet. It should be possible for it to take action.

In this case, let's work together to figure out how to defend Shuzhong. We must not let Elder Zhi look down on us."

Xiao Qi stood up, paced back and forth, thought for a moment, and said aloud: "Hey, I have been prepared for this. We sent our clones to meet Lord Liu Bei for this reason.

As for the rule about not attacking mortals, we'll try to avoid conflict. If you do get into trouble, remember to protect yourself and don't act tough."

Xue Tianhan also stood up, his expression firm and resolute: "Okay, as you say. With you by my side, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles we encounter, I have nothing to fear. Let's set off now and see the changes in Shuzhong."

Xiao Qi's eyes lit up: "That's right, but I haven't found Zhuge Liang yet. He doesn't seem to be in this world, so my clone is still impersonating him.

But now that the timeline has returned, he might show up, but there's no rush for that. For now, refine the Luo Yu Ring first; this top-grade spiritual weapon will surely be of great help to you."

Xue Tianhan did as he was told, took out the Luo Yu ring that emitted a soft luster, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate his spiritual power to refine it carefully.

For a moment, the spiritual power in the chaotic space surged like raging waves, the light was dazzling, and the runes on the ring seemed to be given life, slowly swimming, and were imprinted in the depths of Xue Tianhan's consciousness bit by bit.

Xiao Qi stood guard at the side, looking around cautiously. After a moment, Xue Tianhan let out a long sigh and stood up, a glint of insight in his eyes. "This ring is truly miraculous. Not only can it increase your luck, but it also has the amazing effect of concealing your aura. This will make things much easier for me in the future."

Xiao Qi smiled brightly, "That's great. Let's leave this space now and check on the clone's situation. Then we'll head towards Shuzhong, gathering more intelligence along the way and making thorough preparations."

After saying that, the two of them walked hand in hand and strode out of the chaotic space. After learning that the clone was fine except for the drop in realm, the two of them resolutely moved forward towards the land of Shu, which was full of unknowns and challenges. Their figures gradually disappeared into the depths of the forbidden area.

Only the Linghu Dragon was left, still loyally guarding the Qiyun Mountain and River Map. Full of doubts, it tried to recall Xue Tianhan's every move before, but still had no clue. Only the eerie silence shrouded the depths of the forbidden area.

Of course, Xiaoqi is also a player after all, and she also received mission rewards and took on new tasks.

······

Halfway through, they saw smoke and dust filling the air ahead, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded loudly. Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi exchanged a glance, restrained their breath, and approached quietly.

I saw a group of bandits besieging a merchant caravan. The caravan guards fought desperately but gradually became unable to do so.

Xue Tianhan frowned, about to help, but suddenly remembered the mission regulations and stopped abruptly. Xiao Qi whispered softly, "Look over there."

Looking in the direction Xiaoqi pointed, Xue Tianhan saw a young man in the caravan. He had a figure as straight as a pine tree, a resolute look in his eyes, and was waving the sword in his hand with great vigor. Although he looked a little immature, he was already quite heroic, and he was able to resist the attacks of several bandits alone.

Xue Tianhan's heart moved, and he murmured softly: "This kid is definitely not an ordinary person. Maybe he can make a big career in Shu in the future."

Xiao Qi nodded in agreement: "Let's give him a helping hand first, maybe it will be useful in the future."

The two men used their tricks in secret, and a breeze blew by like a lively elf. The bandits only saw a flash before their eyes, and then they were unable to move.

The young man looked astonished, looked around, and shouted loudly: "I wonder which master can help me? Please show yourself!"

Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi smiled at each other, did not show up, and left quietly, leaving behind the young man with a confused and puzzled look on his face.

Continuing to move forward towards Shuzhong, Xue Tianhan couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Qi, how far do you think that young man can go in this chaotic world?"

Xiao Qi tilted his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Judging from his performance just now, he has a lot of drive. If he can find a good teacher and be carefully honed, his future will definitely be limitless. Today can be considered a good relationship."

Xue Tianhan nodded slightly: "I hope so, but I don't know how many difficult things we will encounter along the way."

Xiao Qi patted Xue Tianhan's shoulder and said soothingly, "What are you afraid of? With you and me working together, we can overcome any obstacle. How's your refining of the Luo Yu Ring going? Is there anything you're not familiar with?"

Xue Tianhan raised his hand, looked at the ring, and smiled: "This ring is very compatible with me. Now I can skillfully use its concealment ability, which will give me more security in the future. However, our clone has lost his realm and is away from home, so he must be more careful and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Xiao Qi smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I've already sent No. 2 to meet up in Shuzhong. As for my clone and No. 3, Sister Qing and the others will take care of them, so nothing will go wrong."

For now, I should focus on the situation in Shu. I hear Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are about to go to war at Guandu. Once the Battle of Guandu is over, Cao Cao's power will undoubtedly increase significantly, and then the Battle of Red Cliff will begin."

Xue Tianhan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought: "Yes, the Battle of Red Cliffs has been made into several movies. But the situation is so unpredictable now, I wonder if it will still follow the historical trend."

Xiao Qi nodded in agreement. "That's right, so we should first gather information from all sides to see if we can find a way in. I've heard that there are many extraordinary people living in seclusion in Shu. If we can get their help, we might be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Xue Tianhan's eyes lit up: "Your idea is good, but most of these hermits are hard to find. How are we supposed to find them?"

Xiao Qi smiled softly and pulled out a delicate compass from his sleeve. "I have my own way. This is a tracking compass. It can sense the movement of spiritual energy around. The places where hermits practice cultivation are rich in spiritual energy. I might be able to find clues using it."

Xue Tianhan was delighted. "Having this treasure makes things much more convenient. But I wonder if using this compass won't attract attention? After all, we still need to keep our whereabouts secret."

Xiao Qi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this compass has the ability to conceal our presence. As long as we operate it carefully, it won't be exposed. Once we get close to the target, we can use our spiritual power to cover it up and guarantee it's foolproof."

Xue Tianhan nodded in relief: "That's great, then let's speed up and get to Shuzhong as soon as possible so we can make plans early."

Xiao Qi agreed, "That's right. With one step at a time, we will definitely be able to complete this mission and carve out a niche for ourselves in Shu."

As they talked, the two quickened their pace. The road ahead was long, with challenges and opportunities coexisting. They were full of fighting spirit and bravely moved forward towards the unknown.
