Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 349 - 273: Panel, Value, Blade Intent

"Since there’s time now, let’s go take a look. The path of faith needs to be pursued whenever possible."

After a brief consideration, he couldn’t hold back his curiosity. He took out the Guest Minister Token and went to the Wuji Sect World, appearing by a small river in this world, which was the node he returned to the real world from last time. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

In fact, there was still one thing awaiting resolution in this world: the demon-slaying appointment of the Wuji Sect. However, he was well aware that it wasn’t time yet, as he still needed to wait about two more days in the real world.

Summoning the Red Deer Horse, he covered his face with the Mad Tree-man Mask, and then transformed his own appearance. Riding the red deer, he proceeded towards the source of the prayers.

For the first part of the journey, he had the red deer soar into the air, quickly covering the distance in a straight line from above. For the latter part, he descended to the ground, proceeding towards the destination more discreetly, and was soon taken by surprise by the location of this destination.

"Pingwu City? That woman is actually spreading the faith in Pingwu City?"

Wang Zhifan, now riding the Red Deer Horse, could see the tall eastern gate of Pingwu City in the distance. Along the way, he considered the possibility of the other person being in this relatively familiar place, but it was still surprising to confirm it.

Since Pingwu City was territory of the Wuji Sect, he initially didn’t intend to recruit his first believer here, wanting to avoid exposure as much as possible. Yet, in the end, he found himself back here.

"Pingwu City has always struck me as prosperous and peaceful, with the Wuji Sect managing it well without much trouble. Could it be that woman chose this place because of its safety?"

After some thought, Wang Zhifan understood the woman’s mindset to some extent. He was curious about how the Wuji Sect would handle things if villagers accused her of being a murderer.

Lost in thought, he dismounted, sent the Red Deer Horse back home to avoid recognition, and put on the Wind Concealing Conical Hat to enter stealth mode, jumping over the city wall into Pingwu City.

After some time, on a less crowded street, he found the village woman.

At this moment, she had significantly changed her appearance, donning a gray outfit of unknown origin and covering her hair with a gray round cap, masquerading as a nun. Currently, she was sitting cross-legged by the street, beside a white flag with "Venerable of Virtue who saves the suffering, great mercy and compassion for all beings" written on it.

Most of the passersby ignored her presence, with only a few older or leisurely ones glancing at her. A few stopped to listen to her story.

"Dear villagers, I originally come from the eastern Liehe Village. My appearance was ruined by Lie oil since childhood. But after I tried to end my life, I encountered an immortal under the Venerable’s command who restored my appearance with the Venerable’s Mana... The Venerable is a good Immortal who saves the suffering. As long as you all believe in the Venerable, all your prayers will reach the heavens..."

The woman spoke neither too fast nor too slow, seemingly having gained composure from her past hardships, using her testimony to spread faith.

"I’ve been to Liehe Village... Are you the rumored ghost-faced girl?"

An old man by the street, upon hearing her speak, suddenly realized and identified her.

"Yes, I am Erya, the ghost-faced girl. It was the Venerable who returned me to normal. I can never forget the Venerable’s grace."

The woman wasn’t angry at being called out; instead, she responded smoothly, suggesting she had encountered such questions before.

"The Venerable of Virtue is indeed a rare good Immortal! I’ve got a matter I wish to ask the Venerable... I hope the Venerable can make me twenty years younger, no, ten years would do..."

With eyes closed, the old man began praying to the heavens, trying his luck out of curiosity, with no real expectation of a response.

"So that’s how it is... No wonder the prayers I’ve received are all jibber-jabber. It turns out to be idle chants from passersby, and they don’t even have to pay..."

Standing at a distance, observing the scene silently, Wang Zhifan understood what was happening. Essentially, this village woman was using her testimony on a busy street to spread his name. Her method seemed similar to her previous village approach, just with more eye-catching attire, and due to the good security, few recognized her, achieving a different effect.

"This woman’s method isn’t brilliant, but her persistence in doing something with no benefit and potential trouble for her shows her faith in me is quite strong. Even if she’s a bit foolish, she’s not without value. I can slightly raise my evaluation of her."

After observing for half a minute, Wang Zhifan pondered, then in a deserted alley removed the Wind Concealing Conical Hat, revealing his disguised form, and nonchalantly moved to her position on the street to listen.

Waiting for a moment when other passersby coincidentally left, he discreetly bent down and placed a silver ingot in the woman’s hand.

"Young man, what I said just now wasn’t for money. Please don’t go to the expense."

The woman was startled by his action, standing up and wanting to refuse the silver coins.

"I’m not doing this for you, but for the Venerable’s mercy, hoping that one day the Venerable can also save me. As the Venerable’s messenger, you must accept it in his place; otherwise, it would disrespect me and tarnish the Venerable’s grace."

Knowing the woman was timid, Wang Zhifan semi-coercively made her accept the silver ingot. He was aware that the amount wasn’t excessive but still significant enough to improve her living conditions in the town without causing trouble.

After completing this step, he quickly left, hiding in the shadows to observe the confused believer for a while longer, then wandered around Pingwu City before returning to the real world.

"I hope she can persist longer, spreading my name to more people... If this can attract a few more valuable believers, even better... But now I need to block out these occasional annoying prayer requests."

Back at his villa in the real world, Wang Zhifan decisively used his spiritual connection with the Faceless Statue to set it, temporarily halting the transmission of those prayers, as he was about to begin training in the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion.

Originally, he intended to relax a bit before getting to work, but the quick trip to the Wuji Sect World was already a form of relaxation. At present, he held himself to much stricter standards, unwilling to waste time as frivolously as before, even though he had just exited a dungeon recently.

Thus, Wang Zhifan spent the remaining daylight hours in the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion. It wasn’t until afternoon when Yi Lin and Yali came to deliver food that he emerged to eat and complimented the efforts of the two mesmerizing maids.

He spent the entire night in the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion once more, practicing diligently, and when dawn broke, his efforts reached a tipping point, bringing the anticipated rewards.

"I’ve finally advanced my cultivation another level, enhancing my abilities in all aspects, and have cultivated the sword intent crucial for a swordsman."

Although he was empty-handed, at this moment he exuded a sharpness that was unsettling, as if he himself had become the sharpest blade.
