Squeezing Yun Shan for Another Payoff

At this moment, Yang Shan was enjoying the service of six maids in the courtyard of the Back Mountain Forbidden Ground.

He had actually only been back for a short time.

After all, capturing twelve resource points in succession took a lot of time.

Su Yitang, Chao Bafang, Zhu Tianpeng, and Nalan Yanran formed a three-way alliance and launched a major attack on the previous twelve resource points.

Yun Shan must be so angry his hair is practically on fire.

Yang Shan was to wait here for Yun Shan to come find him! As Yang Shan expected, Yun Shan arrived not long after.

Moreover, he didn't even knock on the door; he simply Sky Tread into the courtyard.

Upon seeing Yun Shan arrive, the six maids were terrified and quickly knelt down:

"This servant greets the Sect Master!"

Yang Shan smiled and said:

"Oh, Sect Master Yun Shan, it just so happens that I was just about to go and find you."

Yun Shan frowned, waved for the maids to leave, and said somewhat stiffly, "I wonder what business Mister E has with me?"

Yang Shan: "I've secured twelve resource points for the Misty Cloud Sect these past few days. Sect Master Yun Shan, you don't expect me to work for nothing, do you?"

Yun Shan: "."

Yang Shan came to the Misty Cloud Sect under the alias "Cheng E".

Yang Shan Misty Cloud Sect painstakingly fought to conquer territory for the Yunlan Sect, only to "transfer" it to the Imperial Family, Mitier, and the Nalan Family. Was it all just to harvest experience points from players during the Faction Blood War? Yang Shan not only wanted to use the resources of the Alchemist Guild and the Mu Family to support the three-way alliance.

They want to squeeze another penny out of Yun Shan! Only children make choices.

Yang Shan, he wants them all! He wants them all! Seeing that Yun Shan didn't say anything, Yang Shan knew that Yun Shan was probably speechless because of his shamelessness.

But Yun Shan's silence wouldn't do! Yang Shan said unhappily, "Oh, so Sect Master Yun Shan is really planning to renege on his debt?"

Yun Shan trembled all over, seemingly on the verge of exploding.

He forced out a sentence through gritted teeth:

"Mister E, the twelve resource points you captured are now under attack from other forces, and more than half of them have already fallen! Isn't it inappropriate for you to ask me for payment now?"

"What's inappropriate about it?"

Yang Shan said matter-of-factly, "I captured the resource point, not the other way around. What business is it of mine if it can't be defended?"

Yun Shan: "."

What a fine line. "What's it to me!"

Yun Shan really wants Yang Shan to try out his Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique, "Great Compassion Wind Rending Hand"! Let's see if Yang Shan will be sliced into mincemeat by the millions of wind gusts!

But Yun Shan ultimately did not make a move.

A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan!

There are some things that Yun Shan cannot stop.

There are some people that even Yun Shan can't afford to offend!

Yun Shan forcibly suppressed his anger and said with a faint smile:

"Mister E's words make sense! Mister E has indeed made a great contribution by capturing twelve resource points. I wonder what Mister E wants? So that our sect can prepare accordingly. After all, Misty Cloud Sect is a small sect and probably doesn't have much that would catch Mister E's eye!"

"Not much?"

Yang Shan was slightly suspicious. "Then take me to the sect's secret vault?"

Yun Shan: "."

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill Cheng E! Cut him into a thousand pieces!

It seemed as if a tiny person was constantly roaring angrily inside Yun Shan's head.

But Yun Shan ultimately ignored what the villain said, his voice lowering slightly. "Alright, then I'll take Mister E to the secret vault to take a look!"

Yang Shan was surprised that Yun Shan agreed so readily. The controller of a powerful force is completely different from a lone wolf.

They need to set up a secret vault, using a large number of treasures to give everyone within their faction a "goal to strive for".

Those who have made contributions should be rewarded.

It's not appropriate for the person in control to personally give out every reward.

Then the controller wouldn't need to do anything else; they could just sit there and deliver things every day.

Yang Shan believed that the Misty Cloud Sect still had some good things.

But Yun Shan's quick agreement aroused Yang Shan's suspicion.

Could it be that Yun Shan is really acting alone, storing all the good stuff from the Misty Cloud Sect in his own Storage Ring?

Yang Shan tucked his right hand into his sleeve and secretly took out the sound transmission Jade Pendant from his Storage Ring.

"Protector Wu, I've come to bother you again!"

Protector Wu replied almost instantly, "No need to bother you, no need to bother you. If you have any orders, please just tell me Little Wù. Mister E."

Yang Shan: "That's right."

Yang Shan briefly explained the situation to Protector Wu.

Before long, Protector Wu, his body shrouded in black mist, flew out from his secluded cultivation place:

"Hehehe!"

Upon seeing the Protector Wu flying over, Yun Shan subconsciously frowned.

Yun Shan fears nothing in the Jia Ma Empire except for the Protector Wu!

Because he really couldn't defeat Protector Wu. Yun Shan cupped his hands and said, "Protector Wu, did you gain anything from this seclusion?"

The Protector Wu's voice was hoarse. "I have indeed gained something, so I came out for some fresh air."

Yang Shan: "Protector Wu, you've come at the right time. Sect Master Yun Shan was just about to take me to the Misty Cloud Sect's Secret Treasure Vault to pick out some things. If Protector Wu is interested, why don't we go together?"

Protector Wu: "Oh? The Sect Master of Yun Shan is so generous?"

Yang Shan: "I helped Sect Master Yun Shan secure twelve resource points. Sect Master Yun Shan, you should naturally give me some reward!"

The Protector Wu feigned sudden realization:

"So that's how it is! Yun Shan, then you'd better thank Mister E properly!"

"This is natural, this is natural!"

Yun Shan felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed fly droppings, but he dared not utter a sound.

They had no choice but to take Yang Shan and Protector Wu to the Misty Cloud Sect's Secret Treasure Vault.

The location of this Secret Treasure Vault is actually at the foot of the Back Mountain Forbidden Ground! After passing through the mechanism, we entered the stone cave, walked through the narrow tunnel, and suddenly the view opened up.

A rather large cave dwelling had actually been carved out of the back mountain!

Rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged.

Yun Shan explained, "All the collections of my Misty Cloud Sect since its founding are here."

"Mister E, please feel free to look around, but do not touch anything carelessly. Many of the treasures here are equipped with Space Lock. If you touch them rashly, you may hurt Mister E."

Only Dou Zong experts have the initial ability to use space; Yang Shan is only a Dou Emperor.

When faced with spatial techniques, there is no other way but to break them by force.

A stone tablet stands in front of each row of bookshelves.

The label above indicates the types of treasures displayed on this shelf.

For example, "Fire-Techniques" means that everything on this bookshelf is Fire Attribute technique! Yang Shan already has a target for techniques.

Therefore, Yang Shan immediately went to the bookshelf of "Thunder - Dou Technique".

"Thunder Cloud Hand," with Golden Word Seal, Mystic Rank Middle-Level.

"Thunderous Fist Force," with Golden Word Seal, high-level Xuan rank.

The core inheritance of the Misty Cloud Sect is mainly based on Wind Attribute, with only two Secret Treasure Vault attribute Dou Technique collected.

Yang Shan still had some ideas about the "Thunderous Fist Force".

Golden Word Seal must have some outstanding advantages.

In fact, starting from the Dou Emperor, as the variety of Dou Technique gradually increased, defensive and escape methods also emerged one after another.

The battles between players will become increasingly complex.

Unless there is a terrifying ultimate move that can lock in victory simply by being pulled out, using low-cost Dou Technique to probe and wear down opponents becomes a must-learn skill for players above the Dou Emperor.

In Yang Shan previous life, even when facing the Twelve Emperors, Yang Shan would have to test the waters with a few moves! But Yang Shan's "Cloud Piercing Flicking Finger" has incorporated the technique of Overload.

Even if he learned another "Thunderous Fist Force, it would only increase his combat methods and wouldn't bring Yang Shan much direct improvement in combat power.

Yang Shan went to the equipment area again.

Compared to Dou Technique, the number of equipment items is significantly greater.

What kind of knives, spears, clubs, axes, hooks, and forks?

Yang Shan even spotted a pair of Low-Grade Spirit Artifact boots with Purple Word Seal!

This caught Yang Shan's eye.

The boots he was wearing were the Hundred Refinements Grade Wind Hunting Boots from several versions ago!

However, boots, which are classified as offensive equipment, are indeed the rarest type of equipment.

Because there are very few simple leg techniques in the game.

After all this time, Yang Shan hadn't even come across a decent pair of top-quality boots.

Even Old Man Tie Yang didn't have the blueprints for making the perfect boots.

I never expected the Misty Cloud Sect to have such a treasure hidden away! Although it's just Purple Word Seal, considering its rarity, this thing might even be better than a low- Low-Grade Spirit Artifact with Golden Word Seal!

Yang Shan thought about it and decided to keep it as a "backup option" for the time being.

Let's browse some others!

Yang Shan wandered around, but still couldn't find anything that would make his heart flutter.

Finally, only the "Strange Things Zone" remained.

The items displayed here are quite diverse.

Unidentified Jade Pendant, unidentified crystals, unidentified herbs—many items don't even have basic descriptions!

What is this? Just taking a chance?

There are also quite a few books.

Among them are even many secret manuals on martial arts techniques and Dou Technique.

However, most of these manuals are damaged to some extent.

Even if you get your hands on it, you won't be able to learn it because the content is incomplete.

"Um?"

Yang Shan picked up a fragment of jade and silk, and the system actually gave it a name: [Four Desolations Remnant Formation] (Earth Rank - Broken Version) Cultivation Requirements:

1. Four cultivators whose main attributes are completely different.

2. The level must be at least Dou Wang.

3. A single spiritual root reaches 30 points.

4. Your comprehension level reaches 30 points.

The current fragment record reads: Defensive formation!

The ranking of formations is not as detailed as that of Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills.

It is still divided into four grades according to "Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow", but each grade only has two levels: "Ordinary" and "advanced".

As for the lettering, it was completely cancelled.

Even the powerful Sect Protecting Grand Formation of the Misty Cloud Sect, the "Cloud and Mist Sun Covering Formation," is only at the advanced level of the Xuan rank.

The Wind and Thunder Pavilion's Sect Protecting Grand Formation, the "Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Formation," is only at the Earth Rank.

I never expected that the Misty Cloud Sect would actually possess a fragment of a low-level Earth-rank array!

Yang Shan asked:

"Sect Master Yun Shan, this fragment is quite interesting."

Yun Shan introduced, "Mister E has a good eye! This fragment was collected by Yun Potian, the founding patriarch of my Misty Cloud Sect, but we have never been able to complete it!"

Yang Shan: "Take this as my reward!"

Although the fragment only recorded the defensive formation, the requirements for forming the formation were very similar to the personnel situation in Yang Shan's current company.

And he had just signed Mr. Bai Su'an not long ago.

This Old Taoist Priest from Wudang Mountain is probably the strongest Array Inscriptionist in the current version.

Once Bai Su'an breaks through to the fifth rank, he might be able to refine the corresponding array seal magic weapon, thus allowing the "Four Desolations Remnant Formation" to exert a good effect.

Imagine the formation unleashed by three Top Player from the top ten of the Combat Power Rankings, under the guidance of "Blade Sovereign," the only top player in the entire server.

Even if it's just a defensive formation.

The effect is absolutely outstanding! Of course, most importantly, the last line of this fragment contains—

Note: Players can spend 5 points of Good Fortune to obtain a clue to the fate of this fragment!

This is the third time Yang Shan has encountered such a good opportunity, requiring him to expend a full 5 points of good Good Fortune to obtain it!

There's no such thing as a scam with Good Fortune! So, Yang Shan is definitely going to get his hands on the "Four Desolations Remnant Formation".

If you can't get it, then steal it! With Protector Wu in charge, what waves can Yun Shan possibly stir up? Yun Shan seemed to have no idea that Yang Shan would choose this fragment.

Yun Shan naturally knew the contents of the "Four Desolations Remnant Formation".

Unfortunately, according to the history of the Misty Cloud Sect, no one has ever been able to successfully cultivate the "Four Desolations Remnant Formation"!

Because the requirements for cultivation are simply too high!

With 30 points in a single spiritual root and 30 points in comprehension, he would definitely be considered a prodigy in the Jia Ma Empire!

In the current version, it's estimated that only the top 20 players on the Combat Power Rankings can reach this level.

There are more ways to improve one's comprehension than through Good Fortune. Having guidance from a powerful person or taking a look at a special place can increase one's comprehension to some extent.

Of course, this applies to other players.

Yang Shan's improvement in comprehension is exactly the same as Good Fortune's.

Aside from Global Announcement, enlightenment can only be gained through extremely rare and special opportunities.

There's no way around it, Yang Shan's comprehension value is just too high! It's so high that if you gave him a Heaven Rank Dou Skills, he could probably meet the comprehension value requirement! As everyone knows, the higher you go, the harder the road becomes.

Yang Shan can now only hope to continue increasing his comprehension and Good Fortune through more Global Announcement.

Even though with Yang Shan's current stats, no matter how much Hao Yunqi works, he probably won't catch up until version 4.0. But this thing is like money; you can never have too much.

Upon hearing that Yang Shan actually wanted this fragment, Yun Shan was overjoyed.

This thing has been left in the Secret Treasure Vault for who knows how many years, and no one has ever mastered it.

It would be perfect to use this to appease Yang Shan! But on the surface, Yun Shan still had to pretend to be conflicted and reluctant.

Only in this way would Yang Shan consider this thing to be very precious.

Yun Shan: "Mister E, to be honest, this item was left behind by our ancestor Yun Potian. It has special significance for my Misty Cloud Sect. Although you have helped the Misty Cloud Sect occupy twelve resource points, if you want to take this item, why don't you choose something else? Anyway, this is just a fragment and it won't be of much use to you, Mister E!"

How could Yang Shan, that old fox, not know that Yun Shan was currently bargaining? Yang Shan gave Protector Wu a look.

The lackey Protector Wu, immediately went online! His voice was hoarse and slightly dissatisfied. "What, Yun Shan, don't you understand what Mister E means? Mister E has done so much for the Misty Cloud Sect, so it's only right that he takes this fragment!"

Yun Shan quickly waved his hand:

"Protector Wu, please don't misunderstand. Although I am reluctant, if Mister E wants it, I will certainly give it to him! However, I have a small request!"

Protector Wu: "You dare to raise the stake? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Yang Shan waved his hand. "Alright, tell me what your request is!"

Saying something doesn't necessarily mean agreeing.

Yang Shan was simply curious: given what he had done a few days ago, what else could Yun Shan possibly need his help with?

Yun Shan: "I may have to go out in a few days, so I would like to ask Mister E to help take care of the Misty Cloud Sect!"

go out?

With the situation in the Jia Ma Empire in such a chaotic state, where else can Misty Cloud Sect go if he doesn't stay at the Yun Shan Sect?

If you do the math, the story of the Tagor Desert is really about to begin!
