This trip to Moya Cave turned out to be a wasted journey, something Lufeng did not expect. Previously, in Heavenly Dragon, dealing with groups of monsters felt like child's play. There was no pain involved, and without a virtual experience of being there, he could freely unleash his skills. However, Asking Heaven completely overturned his understanding.
Now, if one does not possess overwhelming strength, it is not suitable to farm groups of monsters. In simple terms, one must have the ability to nearly kill a monster in one hit—specifically, within ten seconds, an ordinary attack from one person must be able to instantly kill a monster of the same level. Only with such strength is it appropriate to farm monsters; otherwise, it would be utterly inefficient.
Abandoning the lost leveling paradise of Moya Cave, Lufeng and the others directly used the return scroll to Dali and quickly found Fu Jiesheng. Without any small talk, they entered the first floor of Heavenly Calamity Tower.
Upon entering Heavenly Calamity Tower, countless players were scattered throughout its various corners. The level 30 Evil Persons waved their large blades menacingly, their bodies unusually inflated. Lufeng considered himself quite well-built, but compared to the Evil Persons, he only reached their waists. The Evil Persons wore golden armor that made them look very imposing.
In Wen Tian World, it is impossible to discern the attributes of monsters; Lufeng could only rely on basic knowledge and his own judgment to assess the attack speed and defensive capabilities of the Evil Persons.
Seeing that the Evil Persons were tall and clad in armor, their defense was naturally unquestionable, while their agility and dodge ability would likely be weaker. The large blades they wielded appeared sharp, but when they slid across the ground, they left no trace at all, indicating that their attacks were rather ordinary.
After reaching this conclusion, Lufeng felt confident and activated team follow mode as he walked into a less crowded area. He then exited follow mode and said nonchalantly: "Everyone don’t be afraid; these Evil Persons are all show and no substance; their bodies have long been hollowed out. Let’s start attacking! Xiaoxiao and Xiaojing, you two can just stand by and watch; just be careful."
Gao Chao smirked slyly: "Boss, how do you know their bodies have already been hollowed out? Hehe~ I can understand; I will remember your fearless spirit of sacrifice and carry it forward."
Lufeng kicked him away and scolded with a laugh: "You idiot! You can tease me, but you can't flirt with me. You don’t swing that way; I certainly don’t either. These Evil Persons strike the ground without leaving a mark; if they weren’t weak-bodied, how could they possibly attack so feebly?"
"What if they're just hungry?" Gao Chao retorted.
Hearing Gao Chao and Lufeng discuss such a trivial matter made Wang Xiaojing scoff: "Can you two be any more boring? Hurry up and kill them; it smells terrible here! The air is stagnant; I won’t come back next time."
"Wow~ You're right! I didn’t notice until you mentioned it; there’s a medicinal smell here—really unpleasant!" Murong Xiaoxiao agreed while covering her nose.
Wang Xiaojing shook her head: "No way! It smells more like PM2.5; the air is murky and stagnant!"
Seeing how things were going, Lufeng decided that if they continued killing here, the two ladies might discover even more annoying issues. He instructed Gao Chao and the others to quickly finish off 20 Evil Persons. After completing the quest, they exited Heavenly Calamity Tower.
Once outside Heavenly Calamity Tower, Lufeng felt much more comfortable; everywhere was filled with the fragrance of flowers, while the oppressive atmosphere inside Heavenly Calamity Tower had truly felt stifling.
Women are troublesome. For Lufeng, it didn’t matter where he leveled up; Heavenly Calamity Tower offered nothing special besides Experience and Universal Stones. The Experience was neither too much nor too little, but Lufeng was still more concerned about Murong Xiaoxiao's and Wang Xiaojing's feelings.
"If you’re unwilling to take on this quest, then let’s go to Suzhou to pick up Qian Hongyu for the Three Circles Mission! I’ll head back to my sect first!" Lufeng continued organizing.
Wang Xiaojing looked puzzled: "Aren't you coming?"
"Go, I will return to the sect first for some matters!"
Lufeng said this and ignored the puzzled looks from everyone, too lazy to explain. He directly used the Sect Recruitment Order; otherwise, Wang Xiaojing would surely nag for half a day.
In a whirlwind, Lufeng returned to Lingbo Cave.
At this moment, Lufeng felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation. The Ointment for impotence was bought at a high price, and if Mian Tan Gui wasn't frowning every day for this reason, it would be a huge loss.
Lufeng cautiously approached Qin Guan's side. Before he could speak, Qin Guan sternly asked, "Have you completed the task I assigned to you?"
Lufeng shook his head.
Qin Guan glared with wide eyes: "If you haven't finished it, what are you doing back here?"
Lufeng hurriedly explained, "Uncle Master, there's no need to be angry with me. If you get upset and ruin your health, it won't be worth it. Please calm down and let me explain."
Qin Guan replied coldly, "Speak quickly; if you have something to say, say it. Can't you see I'm busy?"
After some hesitation, Lufeng didn't know how to flatter him properly. He directly took out the Ointment and handed it to Qin Guan, whispering, "This is a good medicine for boosting metabolism that I bought at a high price. I believe it will be very effective for you!"
Qin Guan's eyes shifted; he recognized this type of Ointment but didn't know if it would work. He had seen it in the pharmacy before but felt embarrassed to buy it. He wanted it badly but pretended to be disdainful and coldly snorted, "Are you trying to bribe me?"
Lufeng quickly shook his head: "Uncle Master, you've misunderstood. I see that you look troubled every day; it must be because of your poor health. That's why I sought out a secret recipe from Lu Sanqi to treat you!"
Upon hearing Lu Sanqi's name, Qin Guan nodded silently and slowly said, "Alright, alright. It's rare for you to be so proactive. As your uncle master, I can't just brush you off. Here's the deal: if this medicine works, starting tomorrow, your Sect Mission can allow you to take shortcuts twenty times a day. If it doesn't work, don't come see me again."
Lufeng was overjoyed; he hadn't expected Qin Guan to really be impotent after all this time on the battlefield. No wonder he looked like he had lost his wife every day.
Suppressing his joy, Lufeng cupped his hands and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"
"Wait!" Qin Guan thought for a moment and continued, "Recently the border situation is tense. This time I hope you can go to Yan Nan and assist the defending troops there. Go find Zhou Wuwei at Yanmen Pass; he will guide you on your next steps."
Lufeng was thrilled: "Yes!"
After receiving the mission, Lufeng did not linger in Lingbo Cave any longer. He was too lazy to carry out his Sect Mission; after taking one shortcut that day, he went straight to Suzhou. He hoped that Lu Sanqi's Ointment would work effectively; if so, that would be wonderful—twenty chances to take shortcuts every day was an incredibly delightful prospect.
After receiving the Ointment from Qin Guan, Lufeng could see the desire in his eyes, and he knew he had found a potential asset this time, which was already half the success.
Upon arriving in Suzhou, Lufeng quickly made his way to Qian Hongyu and met up with Wang Xiaojing and others. This was the best choice for leveling up in dungeons from level 30 to 75. After level 75, it would be about Killing Star, Four Absolute Manor, Swallow's Nest, New Three, Loot Boxes, and so on.
Qian Hongyu was the Suzhou Captain and issued the Three Ring Dungeon Quest, which players commonly referred to as Qin Shou. The New Three Circles Dungeon from Loulan was known as New Three. The biggest difference was that the New Three quest could only be accepted after reaching level 75. The main reason for farming this type of dungeon was still to obtain the New Mang Divine Talisman, which was essential for repairing artifacts.
Speaking of artifacts, Lufeng felt a bit disdainful. Artifacts below level 82 were basically just for show, having only a slight edge over set weapons and palace fans. However, the tasks required to obtain them were numerous and tedious. The Divine Talisman was also extremely rare; if luck was bad and one had poor character, it could take a whole week of doing Three Rings five times a day just to craft a level 42 artifact. It was needless to say how frustrating that could be.
Now that Lufeng was only level 31, it wasn't the time to think about artifacts. Besides, he hadn't even secured any Dual Perfection weapons between levels 40 and 50 yet; it was still too early to think about artifacts.
After explaining his intentions to Qian Hongyu, Lufeng saw her let out a sigh of relief as she slowly said, "Finally, someone is here to deal with these bandits! This group of robbers is rampant at the border, led by a horse bandit called Residual Toxin. He is an Abandoned Disciple of the Beggar Gang, highly skilled and adept at using poison. You must eliminate all his disguised Song Soldiers and Song Generals in one go to draw him out."
After hearing Qian Hongyu's words, Lufeng understood that Residual Toxin in this dungeon was like this. When he played Heavenly Dragon before, he hadn't paid attention to the subtitles and didn't realize those Song Soldiers were disguised; this time he had gained some insight.
Seeing Lufeng silent, Qian Hongyu continued, "Lufeng, in order to eradicate these bandits completely, you must eliminate them as quickly as possible and not let a single one escape!"
"Understood!" Lufeng nodded and accepted the mission—[Not a single one can escape].
Mission objective: Draw out and kill Residual Toxin within 30 minutes!
