Chapter 271: Chapter 215: Calamity Organization_2

Now his Spiritual Jade has surpassed the million mark, but the daily expenses are also high, and he estimates he’ll have to spend big soon. He has been trying to purchase a Secret Technique Research Manual for three consecutive days, raising the price from three Advanced Sword Technique Secret Manuals to five, with each manual priced at a minimum of fifteen thousand, totaling seventy-five thousand Spiritual Jade, yet still, no one has accepted this price.

Either everywhere is out of stock, with no Secret Technique Research Manual available in the Three Central Plains Kingdoms, or the price is too low for them to sell. Yan Qing’s orders can’t be cleared every day; occasionally, he would bid for some rare items to test the market reaction.

But it could also be that others find five Advanced Sword Techniques hard to sell, so Yan Qing plans to list them at eighty thousand Spiritual Jade tomorrow to see if he can get a Secret Technique Research Manual.

He must have the second Secret Technique maxed out before the next mission or else he won’t feel safe standing in front of Pharmacist’s Wish—even though even if it’s maxed out, the feeling of safety isn’t guaranteed.

Besides these scattered issues, Yan Qing has his most important loot yet to handle.

Celestial Spirit·Mediating Creation Talisman!

Celestial Spirit·Whip Mountain and Move Stone Seal!

Earth Fiend·Continuation Skull!

Earth Fiend·Wind Leaf!

According to the Dao Foundation combination list, Mediating Creation Talisman and Continuation Skull can form a Longevity Dao Foundation, but it’s just a Middle Grade Dao Foundation. How could it catch Yan Qing’s eye? For a major account like his, all configurations must be maxed out.

So can he absorb the Mediating Creation Talisman first? No way. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

It was mentioned earlier that the greater the difference between Qi Blood and Divine Soul, the more Dexterity is weakened, specifically reducing Dexterity by one third of the difference.

But that’s for the game character.

The Pharmacist’s Wish previously advised Rabbit Heroine to absorb Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends together; otherwise, at best, the combat power would drop dramatically, at worst, life could be endangered.

If Qi Blood is too high, it’s like a child driving a big truck, unable to control the direction; if Divine Soul is too high, it’s akin to Stephen Hawking in a wheelchair, with the body becoming a heavy shackle. Normally upgrading gradually makes the difference between Qi Blood and Divine Soul inconsequential, but absorbing Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends in one go causes such a spike that most messengers can’t adapt to the sudden change, just like eating a huge herbal tonic, sudden death isn’t impossible.

Yan Qing has gradually realized that descriptions of negative effects in the game don’t equate to reality. Like a game character being poisoned only gradually loses health, while a real person being poisoned suffers unbearable pain.

No doubt he belongs to the majority, so he sensibly waits to collect the Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends before proceeding. Whip Mountain and Move Stone Seal, Continuation Skull, and Wind Leaf can be considered for sale or exchange for other Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends.

It’s just that Yan Qing is still uncertain about his ideal Dao Foundation.

He’s not a gaming expert in "Messenger," with a crystal-clear idea right upon transmigrating. Although he’s set on pursuing the Perfect Dao Foundation, there are three corresponding to the Mediating Creation Talisman, each tempting him, making it hard to decide. It’s like in a faction conflict anime where the male protagonist is pursued by three heroines, hesitant to decide... But the faction conflict anime can turn into a harem, while a messenger can only have one Dao Foundation.

Yan Qing plans to determine the Dao Foundation based on the profession after completing the Third-Turn. Dao Foundation strength is intrinsically related to Third-Turn professions besides its inherent attributes.

But he needs to discuss with Shang Xinlei tomorrow...

He also doesn’t know when that snot-nosed kid will complete the Third-Turn; if he were to buy a Secret Technique Research Manual for her, it would seem he still wouldn’t have enough money...

Yan Qing originally thought his wallet had filled up, yet carefully calculating revealed money is needed everywhere, the road ahead is long and arduous.

But Yan Qing might have a way to solve all the above issues.

He looked at the warehouse’s sparkling dark-golden items; even an ordinary Token looked noble and luxurious with these effects.

Clan Establishment Order!

Yan Qing had been pondering whether to sell it for resources, yet on the one hand, he’s uncertain if people in this world recognize its value; he previously tried hinting to Shang Xinlei, who expressed never having heard of any such clan;

On the other, this thing is indeed rare, he might not get a second one in the future.

After much thought, Yan Qing decided to use it himself, as even two team skills would be useful in the future Foundation Establishment and Immortal Ascension, while the resources obtained from a sale can only be used now.

More importantly, as a player, it’s hard to resist the experience of establishing a clan—and it’s one of the few Immortal Clans after many years of "Messenger" operation.

Taking the Clan Establishment Order into his hands, it no longer emits the dark-golden glow, feeling like just a hard wooden card. Yan Qing exhaled and pressed down hard.

"Please choose the type of organization you want to establish."

"Team: Initial member limit of 5 people, can expand to a maximum of 20 people."

"Guild: Initial member limit of 50 people, can expand to a maximum of 300 people."

"Clan: Initial member limit of 100 people, can expand to a maximum of 5000 people."

Yan Qing wasn’t surprised; he’d seen discussions on forums comparing team, guild, and clan skills, simply put, team skills have high base value, fast cooldowns, easy upgrades; clan skills have high ceilings, slow cooldowns, difficult upgrades; guild skills can randomly draw from both realms.

The reason for this difference is that teams mainly play Secret Realms, so their skills naturally serve that purpose, being practical tactical skills, while clans exist for large-scale PVP wars, having strategic skills capable of directly altering the course of warfare.

According to the original post, team skills are like MOBA game skills, while clan skills resemble RTS game skills, incomparable fundamentally.

Yan Qing obviously didn’t plan on forming a major force; instead, he chose to form a team.

"Please name your team."

Choosing a name... Yan Qing scratched his head, if he were playing with friends, they could brainstorm together, but this team is likely just himself and a secondary account, how should it be named?

Moreover, unlike the secondary account, this team will likely accompany his Foundation Establishment and Immortal Ascension journey, so if the name is lousy, Yan Qing will feel it’s undeserving of his future self.

Thief’s House? What if he had to leave if a future mission went awry? It might not just be an "if."

Sword and Rose? But it’s not a fantasy game either...

Kulai Xi Lament Sect? Jialan Temple? Love Burial Family? Fantasy Land? Xiao? Many names flitted through Yan Qing’s mind, all unsatisfactory. He glanced at the game console screen’s character login interface, inspiration struck, and he thought of a brilliant name.

"Are you sure you want to name the team ’Celestial Calamity’? Please note, the team name cannot be changed."

"Please select your team description, here are the description templates:

① Welcome everyone to the Celestial Calamity organization/team/guild/clan for communication!

② Visitors are friends, everywhere is a journey!

③ Celestial Calamity organization isn’t interested in ordinary people. If there are aliens, future people, or those with superpowers, feel free to find me, Yan Qing!

..."

To prevent it from being too abstract or containing profanity, even the description must be fixed? Official developers, you guys... Yan Qing randomly picked one matching his taste, then clicked confirm.

"Immortal Team·Celestial Calamity successfully established."

"Do you want to make the establishment of the new team public? If made public, an additional team skill point will be awarded. Without announcement, your team will enjoy privacy protection."

Yan Qing naturally chose to make it public, not taking the reward would mean a loss! And so what if it’s made public, does anyone else in this world even check the rankings—

"Celestial Calamity organization."

A thunderous voice shook Yan Qing’s eardrums, as if a supreme deity was declaring a judgment:

"Will rule the world in Yan Qing’s hands!"
