Chapter 1 Fu Qingyang's Plan

In the study of Fu Qingyang's villa in Fu Jia Wan, Fu Qingyang held the remote control, switching the function being projected onto the screen.

"Normally speaking, continuously conquering high-difficulty dungeons puts too much strain on our minds and bodies. If we don't pay attention to balancing work and rest, it's easy to crash and burn at some point."

Fu Qingyang said sternly and coldly, "This is the Marshal's advancement route from back then. You can take a look."

Zhang Yuanqing, sitting on the sofa, turned his gaze to the Marshal's upgrade route map on the screen. It was mainly multiplayer, with single-player as an auxiliary, interspersed with CD dungeons used for rest and relaxation.

It wasn't until the end of the upgrade route that two S-ranks appeared, and finally, he leaped to become a Demigod.

The number of dungeons on this route map was as many as twenty-one. Zhang Yuanqing shrugged. "Indeed, we need to balance work and rest."

"Demon Eye, Xiahou Aotian, and Palace Master Zhisha have all refused to participate in A-level dungeons anymore. Boss, are you still up for it?"

Fu Qingyang said expressionlessly, "If you're up for it, I have no problem!"

*Spare me*, your emotions tell me you're resisting going to dungeons, Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.

Fu Qingyang said coldly, "Your expression tells me you're mocking me."

Hehe, I also have methods to counter the Insight Technique, Zhang Yuanqing said, "There aren't many uncompleted multiplayer dungeons for the White Tiger Army. The remaining few are all single-player Lingjing. Boss, why don't you take a break."

"Now official organizations and Lingjing families are preparing for war. I heard from Xie Lingxi that the Sovereigns of the Xie family are refining Life Nectar day and night. Xiahou Aotian also said that the government has allocated a huge sum of money to the Scholar families, asking them to mass-produce Saint and Transcendent items within two or three months."

This is investing all their resources into making weapons.

Fu Qingyang said lightly, "These actions by the government are not to leverage the balance between factions, but to prevent the next disappearance of morality. The better equipped the low- and mid-level official members are, the higher the probability of survival for ordinary citizens."

"In a real faction war, the low and middle levels are of little significance. Sovereigns are just pawns. To talk about the strength of the low and middle levels, the official side definitely crushes the evil factions. Otherwise, how can they maintain social stability?"

"The official side is stronger than the evil factions at the Sovereign stage, but the gap is not too wide. Only at the Demigod level, after the slumber of the Wind and Thunder Gods, the Orderly camp suddenly lost two Level 11 Demigods."

"And the evil camp has Shura and gods hidden in small worlds (Demon Seeds). If a real fight breaks out, the outcome is unpredictable. This is also why the official side is eager to support the Lord of the Stars to ascend to the Sun Throne."

Zhang Yuanqing brought the topic back, saying, "So, Boss wants me to imitate the Marshal."

Fu Qingyang shook his head. "No, what's so good about that woman to imitate? What you have to do is break her record!"

He pressed the remote control, switching the screen. A new set of upgrade route maps appeared. Zhang Yuanqing took a closer look. *Good heavens!* They were all A-level and S-level, and B-level dungeons were just embellishments as rest areas.

Fu Qingyang said, "Actually, the difficulty of the Fallen Monarch and the Shu Mountain Southern Garden was partly due to bugs in the Lingjing, and partly because of me. If you enter a single-player dungeon, the A-level difficulty won't be this high."

"Yuan Shi, your strength has long exceeded most Level 7 Sovereigns. In addition, you also have the Three Talents Pill path. Your current experience value is 50. If you can raise your experience value to above 90, then... the Lingjing's matching mechanism will glitch, and the A-level dungeons assigned to you will correspond to the mid-Level 7 stage."

"And your true strength is late-Level 7, so you will steadily harvest Level 7 dungeons."

Zhang Yuanqing pondered, "So, the urgent task is to hunt a Day Wanderer. Only then can your upgrade plan, Boss, be implemented. So, who should we hunt?"

The Day Wanderer of the Taiyi Sect is definitely out of the question.

Wild Day Wanderers are even rarer than wild pandas, impossible to find.

The Day Wanderers who can be hunted with a clear conscience are the Protectors of the Dark Night Rose, but under the protection of Taiyin, these Protectors won't come out themselves. The officials simply can't find them.

Fu Qingyang pondered, "Even if we can find them, secretly hunting them is also very dangerous. It's easy to be countered by Ling Tuo's schemes."

"Ling Tuo is in the Lingjing, unable to pay attention to the outside world. With the Taiyin Master's deduction ability, she might have already calculated it. We can't rule out the possibility of advance planning. However, Ling Tuo being in the Lingjing means she can't free up her hands to deal with us."

"With our strength, we would suffer heavy losses if we were besieged by high-ranking Sovereigns of the evil camp. Asking the Guild Leader to take action would easily trigger a Demigod war, breaking the current balance."

"It won't necessarily trigger a Demigod war. Do you think the five Alliance Leaders will help him? There are already rifts between them, unless he hands over the shards of the Light Compass."

The two discussed and discussed, gradually falling silent.

Hunting the Day Wanderers of the Dark Night Rose is too difficult, with no way to start.

After a dozen seconds, Fu Qingyang pondered, "Perhaps we can entrust Elder Zhao and Elder Sun to enter the Taiyi Sect dungeon and abduct a Day Wanderer."

Zhang Yuanqing's face did not show joy. He shook his head and said, "There is only one way to bring a character from the dungeon into reality, and that is to turn him into a material. A corpse counts as a material. A living life cannot be brought out of the dungeon. Otherwise, the major organizations would be overflowing with Sovereign-level experts."

Fu Qingyang said lightly, "Have you forgotten how Princess Yin Yao came?"

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes lit up.

Princess Yin Yao was an important NPC in the dungeon, but she was sent into reality by the Third Dao Mountain Goddess after breaking through the Lingjing barrier. The old woman is special; she is a high-level Boss in the Lingjing, and is herself a part of the Lingjing.

But soon, he rejected Fu Qingyang's suggestion. With the Goddess's status, she was able to influence the Night Wanderer Transcendent stage dungeon back then.

Increasing the difficulty level of the dungeon and sending Yin Yao into reality was not difficult for her, but a Day Wanderer is not comparable to a Night Wanderer. Sending a Sovereign out of the Lingjing, even if it could be done, would cause her to suffer terrible backlash, just like Guild Leader would not dare to directly rescue Zhai Cai from the dungeon.

The Goddess herself is very resistant to his use of evil arts, and besides, the old woman aspires to compete for the Sun Throne. She would never risk being countered by the Lingjing at this time to abduct a Day Wanderer for him.

Fu Qingyang was silent.

The two were silent again, thinking. Just then, the cell phone in Zhang Yuanqing's pocket rang. He took it out and looked.

The caller was Single-Passage Knight. Zhai Cai had cleared the S-level dungeon!

Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed and immediately answered the phone.

Seeing the caller ID clearly, Fu Qingyang also raised his eyebrows.

"You really have a big life. I thought you were dead for sure," Zhang Yuanqing joked with a smile.

Zhai Cai sneered at the words, his language style as usual, "Not only did I not die, but I also achieved great success. I can beat three Level 7 Day Wanderers with one hand. I successfully advanced to Level 8 and obtained the complete Knight inheritance. I can try to open the Holy See's Treasure Vault and control that supreme item of the Knight profession."

Finally, he could open the Holy See's treasure!

Zhang Yuanqing couldn't control his excitement. The blood in his body quietly boiled. There were two treasures that he had been thinking about.

One was the Demon Lord's treasure hidden in the Ascension Immortal Gate's treasure vault, and the other was the legacy after the destruction of the Holy See.

Especially the latter. According to the history he understood, although the Holy See was destroyed, a Wind Manipulator's Demigod item and a Knight's Demigod item were not obtained by the Freedom Alliance.

The Pope understood that the general trend was over, so he hid most of the Holy See's wealth, including the two Demigod items, in the treasure vault.

Leaving only the map and key fragments.

At that time, the First District did not have Void profession high-ranking Sovereigns or Demigods. The Holy See's treasure vault was thus preserved. In the present day, Guild Leader could no longer find the location of the treasure vault.

Zhai Cai said lightly, "I'll wait for you at Delson River Park in New Covenant County. A special reminder, I only accept you and Guild Leader. Others are not qualified to enter the Holy See's treasure vault."

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Fu Qingyang and said, "No problem! I'll wash up and wait for me."

Hanging up the phone, he was radiant, "Boss, the Holy See's treasure vault may have parts of the Thunder God Set. If we can collect this set, I dare to enter even S-level dungeons."

The operation to hunt the Protectors of the Dark Night Rose will also be more secure.

Moreover, there must be other items in the Holy See.

"If we can collect the set, the refining of the Three Talents Pill can be postponed," Fu Qingyang nodded.

After saying goodbye to Fu Qingyang, Zhang Yuanqing entered Night Wanderer mode and flew back to his grandmother's house on the wind.

He knocked on the door of his uncle's house. His aunt, wearing home clothes, opened the door and welcomed her nephew into the house.

In the living room, his uncle was holding a bottle of red wine, and the speakers were playing dynamic, earthy foreign rock music.

On the online TV was the shoulder-shrugging dance that was very popular a few years ago... His uncle was shaking, shaking, shaking.

Like a flamboyant and flashy old rogue.

"Yuanzi, do you want tea or a drink?" his aunt asked.

"No need!" Zhang Yuanqing refused his aunt, took dancing steps, shrugged his shoulders, and joined his uncle.

Seeing this, his aunt sighed deeply.

She entered the bedroom, out of sight, out of mind.

"Useless Yuanzi, you look very happy. Tell me, what fun did you encounter?" His uncle immediately started rapping.

"Yo yo, I took Xiahou Aotian to level up, a very exciting dungeon, there are tombs everywhere, I am also very capable, use my fists to teach them the truth, there is a Miss Yaoguang, who voluntarily loosened her clothes and untied her belt, and offered up her cultivation method, I didn't give her a penny, and then returned home from the dungeon, then Single-Passage Knight came, quarrel, and then a bunch of nonsense, naming you and me to accompany him." Zhang Yuanqing reported in one breath!

His uncle wanted to rap such a big section too, shaking, shaking, shaking, but he couldn't get it out after a long time, so he had to speak normally, saying, "So coincidental?"

"You just needed a way to level up quickly, and it came."

"I begged my gentle, virtuous, beautiful, moving, refined, and otherworldly Master to revise the pill formula," Zhang Yuanqing said. "The initial version did have problems, but it's gone now."

Hearing this, his uncle felt relieved and turned to shout towards the bedroom, "Wife, Yuanzi asked me to go out to play, I'm going out for a while."

His aunt's response came from the bedroom, "Remember to come back for dinner tonight."

"Okay!" His uncle held his nephew's shoulders and disappeared into the bedroom.

Zhang Yuanqing seemed to enter a dark and deep space passage, with no light or scenery visible in his field of vision.

The next second.

The slowly flowing Delson River appeared before his eyes. A strong wind blew across the river surface. Behind him was a desolate park, and in front of him was a wide river surface with large cargo ships slowly passing by.

Turning his head again, his uncle had already changed into a wine-red suit and trousers, and put on a silver mask.

Zhang Yuanqing was taken aback, "Damn, you changed clothes so fast?"

"You don't understand the methods of a Demigod," his uncle, no, Guild Leader, snapped his fingers.

"Come over!"

Xing Chuo Cai, wearing a black mink coat, appeared in front of the two.

After not seeing him for more than a month, Zhang Yuanqing examined Zhai Cai. His appearance had not changed, but his temperament was more restrained and vicissitudinous. His eyes seemed to condense the fighting spirit of a hundred refinements, but were also like a vast river, like the Five Mountains, steady and heavy, not sharp.

"It's been a while, you've grown up, haven't you?"

Zhai Cai said the first sentence with a smile.

"Grown up?"

"I take back my previous feelings. You haven't changed at all. You're still so annoying," Zhang Yuanqing's mouth twitched.

His uncle raised his hand and snapped his fingers between the two of them, "Stop talking nonsense. The Treasure Hunter can't wait any longer. I still have to go home for dinner with my wife tonight, so hurry up."

Zhai Cai stood by the river, leaning against the railing, and said, "The location specified by the treasure map is actually the Holy See. The treasure is inside the Holy See."

"Impossible," Guild Leader said in a deep voice, "I have explored the ruins of the Holy See many times, and there is no hidden space there."

As the only Demigod of the Void profession, who is adept at finding treasures, his words were sonorous and forceful, and extremely certain.

Zhai Cai said with a rather emotional tone, "If I hadn't entered the Knight's Twilight dungeon, I would have agreed with your thoughts."

"Guild Leader, you have also entered the Knight's Twilight dungeon. What do you think its background is?"

"The destruction of the Holy See, war," Guild Leader said.

Single-Passage Knight nodded, "As we all know, the higher the level of the dungeon, the more distant the background. But Knight's Twilight is a Sovereign stage S-level dungeon. Dungeons of the same level have backgrounds in the Middle Ages, but it is modern."

"This shows that it is a special dungeon. So, what is special about it?"

Zhang Yuanqing, who had also experienced the modern dungeon of the Thriller Cruise, had a thought in his mind, "The Holy See's treasure is in that dungeon."

Zhai Cai nodded appropriately, "After the destruction of the Holy See, the Lingjing recovered the treasure vault and used the Holy See's destruction war as the background to generate the S-level dungeon Knight's Twilight! And the treasure vault became a hidden mission of the dungeon. I also figured it out in the dungeon."

Speaking of this, he looked at Guild Leader and said, "I know that forcibly taking high-level items or materials from a dungeon that has never been opened will be regarded by the Lingjing as theft, and punishment will be降降, so it depends on whether you are willing to take the risk."

Guild Leader did not agree with his view, and said with a smile, "There are at least two professional Demigod-level items in the Holy See's treasure. Do you think an S-level dungeon at the Level 7 stage would reward such heaven-defying things?"

Zhai Cai was stunned!
