Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 76 – The wealthiest in Tale of Immortal

As the Moon Shadow Guild soared to new heights, other guilds felt like they had swallowed a fly.

They had worked so hard, only to have the first clear snatched away.

This kind of server-wide announcement was a perfect opportunity to promote their guild and showcase its strength.

Looking at the bustling recruitment scene of the Moon Shadow Guild, it was clear they had hit the jackpot!

"Damn it! We finally reached first place, only to have it taken away. Moon Shadow Guild, I, Wang Jinghao, won't let this slide!"

Wang Jinghao glared in the direction of the Moon Shadow Guild, gritting his teeth in anger.

Even his usually calm demeanor couldn't hold up anymore.

"How did they clear it so quickly, and on hell difficulty no less? They didn't even make it into the top ten on the progress board for the hard difficulty," one of his subordinates said, puzzled.

Wang Jinghao was equally baffled. By all accounts, the Moon Shadow Guild's strength was average; they shouldn't have been able to snatch the first clear.

"It's him! It has to be him!"

Wang Jinghao thought of Lin Jichen. It was only after Su Wanling invited Lin Jichen over that the Moon Shadow Guild managed to clear it.

"We must find a way to recruit Lin Jichen into our Eternal Guild. Also, try to find out his real identity and address. See if we can make contact and get him to join us!"

"Understood."

Just as Wang Jinghao was about to contact Lin Jichen online, he was surprised to see Lin Jichen reaching out to him first.

"Hey, Wang bro, you there?"

Wang Jinghao was delighted and immediately switched to his fake friendly demeanor.

"Of course, Lin bro. How's it going? Did that girl agree to meet you in real life? If it worked out, I have to congratulate you."

Lin Jichen almost laughed when he saw the message on his friends list.

Wang Jinghao truly lived up to his reputation as the Eternal Guild's leader.

His way of dealing with people, his hypocritical lines—if Lin Jichen didn't know his true nature, he might have thought Wang Jinghao was a genuinely considerate buddy.

"Well, it worked out, but I feel bad for not being able to help you, Wang bro."

Lin Jichen replied, his tone full of self-reproach.

The scene of these two 'good brothers' sharing heartfelt words was truly touching.

"It's no big deal. Finding a wife is more important for a brother. My issue is nothing. But since you've already helped Moon Shadow clear it, you must have some time to help our Eternal Guild now, right? Don't worry, name your price."

Wang Jinghao thought Lin Jichen would surely help him now, given how considerate Lin Jichen seemed in their conversation.

But who would have thought...

"Wang bro, I'd love to, but my girl won't let me help you. She said if I help you, she'll break up with me," Lin Jichen said helplessly, shifting all the blame onto Su Wanling.

"Damn it! That bitch!"

Wang Jinghao's face turned livid, and he wished he could send someone to deal with Su Wanling right away!

Lin Jichen then changed his tone, "Wang bro, how about this? Although I can't help you, I'll give you the strategy for Night Cave Ghost Ridge!"

"Really?" Wang Jinghao was pleasantly surprised.

"Of course. You've been so good to me, I have to return the favor. But don't say it was from me, or my fierce rich girlfriend will get mad again," Lin Jichen lied through his teeth.

Wang Jinghao believed him, thinking Lin Jichen had no reason to lie. Everything seemed reasonable.

"Don't worry, bro. I'll keep it a secret. But I can't let you give it away for free. Name a price, and I'll buy your strategy."

"Oh, I don't know if I should..." Lin Jichen hesitated.

"Don't, Lin bro. If you consider me your brother, name a price. Otherwise, I won't accept it!" Wang Jinghao insisted firmly.

Lin Jichen had no choice but to 'reluctantly' agree.

"Alright... Talking money between us feels wrong, but how about some Spirit Stones? Two thousand should do."

"What? Two thousand Spirit Stones???"

Wang Jinghao's eyes nearly popped out.

Two thousand Spirit Stones could be bought for four hundred thousand outside.

But he'd rather give Lin Jichen four million than part with two thousand Spirit Stones.

Spirit Stones were incredibly precious now, and you couldn't buy them outside!

Their Eternal Guild had barely accumulated twenty thousand Spirit Stones.

"Did I ask for too much? Sorry, Wang bro. Moon Shadow gave me three thousand Spirit Stones as a reward, so I thought that was the going rate. If it's too much, forget the Spirit Stones. Consider it a gift from me."

Lin Jichen's apologetic tone made Wang Jinghao feel a bit guilty and embarrassed.

If the Moon Shadow Guild could afford three thousand Spirit Stones, how could the mighty Eternal Guild balk at two thousand?

Damn it, give it! He couldn't lose face.

Otherwise, Lin Jichen would look down on the Eternal Guild.

"Alright, two thousand Spirit Stones it is. No need to refuse, Lin bro."

Wang Jinghao said, transferring two thousand Spirit Stones to Lin Jichen on the spot.

Lin Jichen, pleased, shared the strategy for Night Cave Ghost Ridge.

However, he only explained how to sever the connection between the four fierce ghosts.

Wang Jinghao didn't realize that the hardest part of Night Cave Ghost Ridge was the Ghost King, not the fierce ghosts. He felt a bit cheated for paying two thousand Spirit Stones for such a simple piece of information.

But no matter how unfair it seemed, he had to swallow this bitter pill.

"Thanks, bro. I'll take my team to clear Night Cave Ghost Ridge on hell difficulty right away!" Wang Jinghao said, hurriedly closing the chat.

Lin Jichen had no intention of warning him. In hell difficulty, the fierce ghosts were secondary; the Ghost King was the real challenge.

He was sure Wang Jinghao would be tormented to no end.

But that was no longer his concern.

Closing the chat window, Lin Jichen continued selling his strategy.

He searched for the names of famous guild leaders in Tale of Immortal and added them one by one.

Some had settings that blocked friend requests, but it didn't matter. Someone would eventually accept his request.

Seeing Lin Jichen's friend request, they all accepted, thinking he was coming to join them.

However, Lin Jichen got straight to the point, selling the strategy for Night Cave Ghost Ridge, asking for prices ranging from eight hundred to a thousand Spirit Stones.

About seventy percent of the guilds were willing to buy.

They trusted Lin Jichen, the top player, wouldn't deceive them, especially since his name was on the list when Moon Shadow cleared hell difficulty Night Cave Ghost Ridge.

In no time, Lin Jichen had earned nearly ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Including the ones Jiang Luoyu lent him, he now had seventy thousand Spirit Stones in his account, making him the richest player in Tale of Immortal!

Heh, making money was this easy.

With this huge sum, Lin Jichen headed to Fengqu City, buying up all the Corpse Poison Potions from every pharmacy.

He bought everything, clearing out the stock!

Corpse Poison Potions were the key to his second fortune.

They were crucial for the team Secret Realm, Corpse King Valley.

To clear Corpse King Valley, players needed Corpse Poison Potions. Without them, they'd be constantly harassed by corpse poison, which was unbearable at this stage.

People didn't know this yet because no one had reached the mid-stage of Corpse King Valley.

Once they did, they'd realize the value of Corpse Poison Potions.
