Level 8 Lifeform

What are you still standing there for?

Su Yuan walked over, glanced at the Mad Blade Qin Mo, and said, "Help me collect all the treasures, gold, and martial arts manuals from all the corpses."

Even if Empire Citizen obtain gold or martial arts manuals within the ruins, they cannot add them to their inventory or view them immediately.

In other words, all the income that Empire Citizen players have within this ruin is carried on their person, and it will be looted if they die.

As for the strong indigenous people? That's even more true.

This is also one of the mechanisms of the Shattering the Void World, the purpose of which is to promote the battles between players and the powerful native inhabitants.

Su Yuan attacked all the fourth-rank experts for the same reason.

"Good!" Mad Blade Qin Mo suddenly realized.

Immediately following Su Yuan's instructions, they began looting the corpses scattered throughout the area.

At the same time.

Everything that happened within the Purple-level Ruins of the Ink Jade Sect quickly spread among the Empire Citizen Players.

"A top-tier expert skilled in using a spear? Slaughtering a group of fourth-tier experts? What kind of skill is that?"

"That's not entirely true. Judging from Black Light's words, that top-tier expert only recently broke through."

"A newly promoted third-grade expert left behind dozens of fourth-grade experts in the environment of the ruins? Among them was someone like Black Light, who was at the peak of the fourth grade?"

The players, Empire Citizen, chatted amongst themselves while gathering information about Su Yuan.

Because Su Yuan did not conceal his appearance when he entered the ruins, and because the Mad Blade Qin Mo was beside him.

Therefore, information about Su Yuan was quickly uncovered.

"That top-tier expert, named 'Wu,' first appeared in Qingxiang City. He made a secret deal with the commander of the Qingxiang City Golden Guard, thereby gaining control of the Money Gang and becoming Money Gang leader."

Over the past two months, Su Yuan, as the leader of the Money Gang, has made several public appearances, and his reputation has naturally spread throughout Qingxiang City.

"Taking over the Money Gang? Interesting. Can players take over a game faction so easily?"

"It seems this 'Wu' has a powerful background, with some force backing him?"

"Pretty much. There must have been an advisor to help him, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to take over the Money Gang so easily."

Within a short time, information about Su Yuan spread rapidly among the Empire Citizen, and also attracted the attention of many top-tier experts.

"This Wu, having just entered the upper third rank, already possesses such combat power; it's worth befriending him."

In the Dayong of Royal Capital, a powerful expert of the third rank looked at the information about Su Yuan in his hand and thought to himself.

As players, although we are not afraid of death, we are at a significant disadvantage in this Shattering the Void World.

The Great Yong Dynasty swept everything away. Upper three-rank experts? Even a first-rank expert, if standing against the Great Yong Dynasty, would still be doomed.

Therefore, the Empire Citizen, especially those who have reached the upper three ranks, tend to befriend each other and will not become enemies unless absolutely necessary.

After all, the players' enemy is the Great Yong Dynasty. Only by uniting can they gain a share of the spoils under the rule of the Great Yong Dynasty.

"Once he reaches the upper three ranks, Wu will likely discover that only superior martial arts manuals will be of use to him, and superior martial arts manuals are extremely rare."

"As for buying it directly? Ten thousand taels of gold is too expensive."

This expert, a top-tier expert, thought to himself.

Ten thousand taels of gold, when converted into Canglan Coin, would amount to one hundred million.

For a third-grade Starry Sky Lifeform, one hundred million Canglan Coin is not considered very expensive.

However, it should be noted that the demand for superior martial arts manuals among top-tier experts is very high.

A top-tier martial arts manual costs 100 million; ten manuals cost 1 billion; and a hundred manuals cost 10 billion.

This number is beyond the capacity of ordinary Starry Sky Lifeform.

"After some time, once this 'Wu' has settled in a bit, I will invite him to the Royal Capital."

This was what the top-tier expert was thinking.

Inviting a newly promoted rank 3 player like "Wu" to the Royal Capital would strengthen the player's influence Royal Capital, which would also benefit him.

The ruins of the Ink Jade Sect.

Through the Grey Mirror, Su Yuan learned of the many disturbances and impacts caused by him.

All of this was within Su Yuan's expectations.

It was even intentionally guided by Su Yuan.

After all, if Su Yuan wanted to hide his identity, probably no one would know who he was.

Choosing to reveal his identity was also part of Su Yuan's plan.

In this world of Shattering the Void, revealing his identity and strength would be more advantageous for Su Yuan.

After all, the game world is not reality, and death in the game world is not real death, so there are many opportunities for trial and error.

The real world hides in the shadows to ensure its own absolute safety.

However, in the game world, which is inherently safe, there's no need to hide one's identity.

"Brother Wu, we've already looted this much."

At this moment, Mad Blade Qin Mo walked over carrying a large bag of gold.

"Um."

Su Yuan nodded, while looking in front of him.

There were three piles of things in front of me.

One pile contained martial arts manuals, another pile contained gold, and yet another pile contained luminous pearls and other treasures.

After looting the corpses of all the fourth-rank experts at the scene, Su Yuan obtained a total of 4,200 taels of gold, 36 low-grade martial arts manuals, and 24 mid-grade martial arts manuals.

And treasures such as a luminous pearl worth 3,100 taels of gold.

The gold and treasures together amount to 7,300 taels of gold, which, when converted into Canglan Coin, is 73 million Canglan Coin.

Adding in the martial arts manual, Su Yuan's gains from exploring the ruins, even excluding the superior martial arts manual, would certainly exceed 100 million.

"No wonder players love exploring ruins."

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face.

Only a few hours have passed since we entered the site.

Earning over 100 million Canglan Coin in just a few hours? That's equivalent to the value of a life-bearing planet, something even Starry Sky Lifeform would find difficult to achieve.

"Unfortunately, the ruins of the Shattering the Void World don't appear very often, and they are subject to official regulation, so I can't always appear near them at the perfect time."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

Every time a ruin appears, it's under the watchful eye of the Game Official. Gold-level ruins are better off, as they will show unusual phenomena in advance.

Purple-level ruins? At most, they'd be like the ruins of the Ink Jade Sect, attracting powerful individuals from dozens or even hundreds of miles around.

If Su Yuan were to use the Grey Mirror's answers to consistently appear near the purple-level ruins ahead of time, it would definitely arouse suspicion, making people wonder if Su Yuan was "cheating".

"Would you like some?"

Su Yuan looked at Mad Blade Qin Mo.

"Brother Wu, if you put it that way, I really don't know how to answer," Mad Blade Qin Mo with a start, shaking his head hastily. "These fourth-rank experts were all killed by you, Brother Wu. It has nothing to do with me. On the contrary, if it weren't for you, Brother Wu, it would be questionable whether I could even leave the ruins."

If you can't leave the ruins, you'll not only have to pay another 100,000 Canglan Coin to enter the game, but you'll also lose all the loot you've gained inside the ruins.

Mad Blade Qin Mo has a clear understanding of himself.

How could they dare to take any more as Su Yuan had suggested?

"Um."

Su Yuan didn't offer any further advice.

He was just being polite; he already knew how Mad Blade Qin Mo would respond.

Next.

Su Yuan then moved all the gold, treasures, and martial arts manuals outside the ruins.

Then put it in your backpack.

Only the golden treasures in the backpack truly belong to the player and will not be lost even if the player dies.

After doing all that.

Su Yuan returned to the depths of the ruins and arrived at the Jade Gate.

At this moment, the Jade Gate has been fully opened, connecting to the last stronghold of the former Ink Jade Sect.

Even other powerful individuals, including top-tier experts, would conduct multiple tests, fearing potential dangers within the Jade Gate.

But Su Yuan went straight inside.

There are no traps or dangers behind the Jade Gate; you can simply enter and obtain the superior martial arts manual. This was also the answer given by the Grey Mirror.

A few minutes later.

Su Yuan then came out.

At the same time.

Su Yuan also found a superior martial arts manual.

This superior martial arts manual is called the "Yin-Yang Great Sorrow Manual," and it is a mental cultivation method.

Although I don't know what the purpose of this mental cultivation method is, just from the name, it seems to be related to extreme yin and yang.

"I'll figure it out when I get back to the Money Gang."

Su Yuan only glanced at the "Yin-Yang Great Sorrow Manual" before learning from the Grey Mirror that it would take five hours to comprehend the mental cultivation method of this sect and to possess the founder of the body-body technique.

What are your plans next?

Outside the ruins, Su Yuan looked at Mad Blade Qin Mo and asked.

"Brother Wu, if you don't mind, could I also join the Money Gang?"

Mad Blade Qin Mo cautiously probed.

Mad Blade Qin Mo naturally longed to join a gang with a top-tier expert at the rank of three, especially since he also had a certain relationship with Su Yuan.

"OK."

Su Yuan smiled slightly.

Being able to subdue an Empire Citizen, even in a game, would give Su Yuan an extra edge. Through Mad Blade Qin Mo, Su Yuan could influence more and more distant levels.

One day later.

Su Yuan successfully returned to the Money Gang.

Inside the gang leader's secret room.

Su Yuan took out the superior martial arts manual, "The Yin-Yang Great Sorrow Manual".

"I wonder what it feels like to comprehend a superior martial arts manual."

Su Yuan felt a slight sense of anticipation.

Even though he learned many details about his comprehension of the "Yin-Yang Great Sorrow Manual" from the Grey Mirror, and even the improvement he gained after comprehension.

However, knowing and experiencing are not the same thing.

With a whoosh, the moment Su Yuan chose to comprehend the "Yin-Yang Great Sorrow Manual," his mind and will descended into an unfamiliar environment.

"Having comprehended the yin and yang of heaven and earth, I intuitively felt myself to be as insignificant as dust. Therefore, I specially created this mental cultivation method to reveal the yin and yang of myself through the yin and yang of heaven and earth."

Su Yuan possessed the body of an old man with a Daoist-like and otherworldly demeanor.

From this old man, Su Yuan sensed the immense power of Yin and Yang, as well as his profound understanding of Yin and Yang—something that could never be grasped through words alone.

After becoming a top-tier expert, Su Yuan's life returned to normal, and he devoted himself to cultivation, comprehending the extremes of Yin and Yang, and focusing on the Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method.

And so, two months later, Su Yuan naturally entered the level 8 life form stage.
