Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

Suddenly, Qingluan's sharp eyes caught sight of something strange on a stone in the distance. She discovered some strange patterns. With a thought in her mind, she hurriedly called Xue Tianhan and the others over.

Everyone gathered together and after careful observation, they all realized that these patterns were strikingly similar to the runes surrounding the treasure box.

"Could this be the key to breaking the formation?" Madam Green Snake frowned slightly and asked softly with doubt in her eyes.

Xue Tianhan nodded slightly, then, after a brief moment of contemplation, said calmly, "Maybe we should give it a try." Following the instructions on the pattern, he carefully executed the corresponding movements on the runes surrounding the treasure box. Each movement was precise and focused, as if he had established some subtle connection with this mysterious world of runes.

As Xue Tianhan moved, the light of the runes began to jump and change like a lively flame, and the originally indestructible invisible barrier also trembled slightly.

Everyone's heart was in their throat, not daring to breathe, staring intently at the scene before them that was full of unknowns.

Beads of sweat formed on Xue Tianhan's forehead, gleaming brightly in the dim light of the secret realm. He was completely focused, not daring to slack off for even a moment, as if the entire world consisted only of him and these mysterious runes.

Finally, at the moment Xue Tianhan completed his last action, the rune shone brightly, like a star that exploded in an instant, and the invisible barrier also instantly dissipated in the light.

The treasure box on the stone platform slowly opened, and a dazzling light shot up into the sky, causing everyone to squint their eyes slightly.

When the light dimmed slightly, everyone looked closely and found that what was lying quietly in the treasure box was actually the legendary Shennong Ding.

The Shennong Ding exudes an ancient and majestic aura, bearing the weight and vicissitudes of time. Its body is engraved with mysterious patterns, and the shimmering runes seem to whisper ancient and distant stories.

Everyone was stunned by the majesty of this divine weapon. They stood there in a daze for a moment, and no one dared to touch it.

"It's actually the Shennong Ding! Legend has it that Shennong used this cauldron to refine hundreds of medicines to save the world and the people. It has the magical effect of bringing the dead back to life and increasing spiritual power. I didn't expect it to actually appear before us today!" The Supreme Mortal's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes flashed with excitement and awe.

Xue Tianhan took a deep breath, tried to calm his inner shock, and slowly walked forward.

However, just as his hand was about to touch the Shennong Ding, a powerful and overbearing repulsive force surged out of the Ding like a surging wave, violently knocking him back a few steps.

"This..." Xue Tianhan's face showed surprise. He never expected that the self-protection mechanism of the Shennong Ding was so powerful.

At this time, Kong Kong Mingyue, who was standing by, looked deep and thoughtful as he said, "Perhaps the Shennong Ding is very strict in recognizing its owner. Only the one who is truly destined to take it away can take it away. Xue Tianhan, try again and feel its aura with your heart."

Xue Tianhan nodded slightly, walked forward again, slowly closed his eyes, concentrated all his energy, slowly released his spiritual power like a thin thread, and carefully tried to establish that subtle connection with the Shennong Ding.

Instantly, the surface of the Shennong Ding shone brightly, and an illusory figure slowly rose from it. Dressed in a simple, elegant robe, its face radiated with dignity, its eyes gleaming with the wisdom honed over the ages. It was none other than the spirit of the Shennong Ding.

"Since you have found this place, I believe you have some connection with this Shennong Ding." The voice of the spirit of the artifact was low and powerful, as if it came from an ancient time tunnel, with unquestionable majesty, but also faintly revealing a hint of gentleness.

"The Shennong Ding inherits the virtues of the Shennong clan and shoulders the important responsibility of saving the world and protecting all living things. If you want to obtain this Ding, you need to pass a test to prove that you have such a mind and ability." After the spirit of the artifact said this, it waved its sleeves lightly.

Xue Tianhan only felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and when he looked again, he was already in a town shrouded in dark spiritual power.

The town seemed to be swallowed by a layer of haze. The people looked haggard, their eyes were dull, their spiritual power was disordered, and they attacked each other. The whole town was filled with despair and madness, like hell on earth.

"This city has been eroded by evil dark spiritual power, and the people have suffered greatly, their spiritual power has run wild, and their minds have been lost. Shennong, with his benevolent heart and supreme ability, reconciled the world's spiritual power and resolved disputes. If you can purify this dark spiritual power and restore the people to normal, then you will be qualified to wield the Shennong Ding." The voice of the spirit of the artifact echoed in Xue Tianhan's mind, as clear and powerful as a bell.

Xue Tianhan looked at the tragic scene before him, a wave of deep compassion welling up in his heart. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately mobilized his spiritual power, trying to sense the source and characteristics of this dark spiritual power.

He discovered that this dark spiritual power was extremely sinister, corroding the bodies and souls of the people like a cancer, and formed a huge spiritual power vortex in the city, madly absorbing the surrounding spiritual power and continuously strengthening its own strength.

With his profound understanding of spiritual power and the rich experience accumulated in adventures, Xue Tianhan speculated that he needed to find a pure and gentle spiritual power to neutralize this evil dark spiritual power.

He closed his eyes and concentrated on sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy around the town, as if looking for a ray of light in the darkness.

Finally, he found a spiritual spring on the edge of town. Pure white spiritual energy flowed in the spring, emitting a soft and warm light, like a beacon in the darkness.

Xue Tianhan quickly came to the spiritual spring and used his spiritual power to draw out the white spiritual power in the spring, forming thin and tough spiritual power threads.

He manipulated these silk threads like a skilled weaver, gradually covering the town with white spiritual power, which intertwined with the evil dark spiritual power.

Under the influence of the white spiritual power, the dark spiritual power began to fluctuate and was gradually suppressed.

However, this dark spiritual power was very stubborn and kept resisting, trying to break through the restraints of the white spiritual power, like a trapped beast.

Xue Tianhan gritted his teeth, increased his spiritual power output, and prayed silently in his heart, hoping to successfully purify this evil force.

At this moment, Shennong's great spirit of benevolence and saving the world emerged in his mind, so he integrated his thoughts into the spiritual power, guiding and purifying the dark spiritual power in a more gentle and firm way.

With his unremitting efforts, the resistance of the dark spiritual energy gradually weakened, and was eventually completely purified. The dark spiritual energy in the city's people dissipated like smoke, their eyes regained clarity, and the chaotic spiritual energy in their bodies gradually stabilized.

The people looked at Xue Tianhan with gratitude and admiration in their eyes, as if he was the savior who came to the world.

At this moment, there was a flash of light, and Xue Tianhan returned to where the Shennong Ding was.

The spirit of the weapon looked at Xue Tianhan with approval in its eyes: "You care about the people, remain calm in the face of danger, and make good use of your spiritual power. You have passed the test. I hope that after you obtain the Shennong Ding, you can fulfill your mission and protect the world."

After saying that, the Shennong Ding slowly flew in front of Xue Tianhan. The light was soft and warm, as if conveying recognition of him.

Xue Tianhan solemnly stretched out his hands and steadily caught the Shennong Ding, feeling a heavy sense of responsibility in his heart.

The secret treasure has been obtained, and everyone calmed down and left the secret realm with the joy of victory and exhaustion.

Xue Tianhan and his friends successfully returned to their residence in Jingzhou City. The familiar streets and buildings brought a warm feeling to their hearts.

"I'm finally back." Hu Meiniang breathed a sigh of relief, a tired look on her face, but a hint of relief in her eyes.

As they stepped into the familiar hall, their tense nerves relaxed a little, but the fatigue in their bodies and the pain in their wounds became instantly clear, as if reminding them of the thrilling adventure they had just experienced.

Xue Tianhan carefully took out the Youzhou Qiyun Mountain and River Map and placed it on the main table in the hall. The map emitted a faint glow, as if it contained endless secrets, waiting for them to uncover.

"Although this operation was difficult, at least we succeeded in obtaining the Youzhou Fortune Mountain and River Map and the Shennong Ding. Everyone was injured. Let's treat the wounds first and recover our spiritual power. Then we can discuss how to distribute the harvest." Xue Tianhan glanced at everyone, his eyes showing a hint of fatigue but determination.

Everyone nodded, found a place to sit down, and began to treat the wounds.

Xiaoqi took out the healing pills he carried with him and distributed them to everyone. Qingluan also turned back into human form. After taking the pills, he closed his eyes and rested, trying hard to recover his spiritual power.

Lady Green Snake and Hu Meiniang helped each other, carefully bandaging their wounds. Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei lay beside them. Although their wounds had not healed, there was still excitement in their eyes, as if they were still immersed in the adventure they had just had.

After everyone had treated their wounds and recovered some of their spiritual power, Xue Tianhan spoke again, "Everyone has contributed greatly to this operation. This Youzhou Qiyun Mountain and River Map is of great importance. We will make a decision after we have thoroughly studied it. As for the other treasures, they will be distributed according to merit."

Everyone had no objection to this. After all, Xue Tianhan was not only the leader in this operation, but also turned the tide many times in battle. His decision-making and ability were recognized by everyone.

So, everyone began to count the other treasures obtained from the battle, including magical instruments, elixirs, spiritual herbs, etc., each of which was shining with a mysterious light.

Based on everyone's performance and contribution in the battle, Xue Tianhan distributed these treasures one by one.

Xiao Qi obtained some exquisite spiritual power amplification talismans, which would be of great benefit to her future swordsmanship, as if adding a touch of mysterious power to her swordsmanship;

Qingluan obtained several spiritual herbs that could quickly restore spiritual power, which was like timely help to her, giving her an extra guarantee in future battles;

Green Snake Lady and Hu Mei Niang were given some defensive magic weapons, which enhanced their self-protection capabilities, just like putting on a layer of solid armor for them;

Little Yellow and Little Black also got the treasures that suited them. They played happily on the side and made cheerful calls from time to time.

After the spoils were divided, everyone's attention was once again focused on the Youzhou Qiyun Mountain and River Map.
