Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 220 – Server-wide wanted

Lin Jichen held the jade slip in his hand, which contained the only Heavenly Grade Secret Technique Ji Hongyue had placed inside!

[Heavenly Grade Movement Technique: Bloodburn Shadow Escape]:

Passive Effect: Evasion +15%, Speed +20%.

Active Effect: Burns 20% of your blood, forcibly teleporting you to a location a hundred miles away. After teleportation, you enter a weakened state for three days. Weakened: All combat attributes -30%.

Cooldown Time: 7 days, Mana Consumption: None.

Requirement: Cultivators with a root bone or spiritual grace of 85 or above.

Lin Jichen was a bit surprised. He didn't expect his luck to come through again, scoring a Heavenly Grade Movement Technique just like that.

And it was an escape technique, a life-saving skill. This was a treasure indeed.

Don't underestimate this skill. Anything that can save your life is invaluable.

If he had this skill back in Thunder Marsh, he wouldn't have had to escape so miserably.

However, Lin Jichen couldn't learn it just yet.

It wasn't because his root bone wasn't enough; his root bone had long been maxed out.

It was because...

[Global Announcement! Player Lin Jichen has acquired the first Heavenly Grade Movement Technique in Tale of Immortal. If anyone kills him within seven days, the technique will drop. Lin Jichen's real-time location will be announced every day. The first announcement will be in one hour.]

[Global Announcement! Player Lin Jichen has acquired...]

The announcement repeated three times.

Lin Jichen listened to the system announcement and showed a wry smile.

In Tale of Immortal, whenever a player obtains a Heavenly Grade or above treasure, whether it's a skill, equipment, elixir, or ore, it gets announced to the entire server. For seven days, you can't use or trade the treasure.

Moreover, the game system will announce your location to the entire server, and your death drop rate will be 100% for seven days.

Anyone who kills you can pick it up.

Of course, they will also be announced to the entire server and must guard the treasure for seven days to claim victory.

In his previous life, every time a Heavenly Grade treasure appeared, it would trigger a bloody storm.

Often, obtaining a Heavenly Grade treasure wasn't necessarily a good thing.

The next second, Lin Jichen received another system prompt.

[During the treasure-guarding period, you cannot enter any city or sect. In one hour, you will be forcibly teleported out of the city, and your location will be announced.]

Lin Jichen smiled helplessly. He had to find a chance to leave Fengqu City quickly.

Meanwhile, all the players outside were shocked by the news.

Heavenly Grade!

Lin Jichen actually got a Heavenly Grade skill!

"Damn it, I haven't even learned a single Spirit Grade skill, and he got a Heavenly Grade?"

"Our guild's top player has only learned one Mysterious Grade skill..."

"Cheater, report him!"

"Support Blood Fiend, punish the cheater!"

"Didn't you hear the system prompt? Lin Jichen's drop rate is 100% for seven days. Brothers, let's get him!"

"A Heavenly Grade skill could sell for enough to buy a 100,000 Yuan Mazda, right?"

"Idiot! At least a 150,000 Yuan Chevrolet!"

"You two fools upstairs, you're making me laugh!"

***

While the Heavenly Grade skill sparked heated discussions across the server, it also aroused countless people's greed.

A Heavenly Grade treasure was a big deal.

Wang Jinghao spent 30 million Chinese Yuan for an Earth Grade axe.

Heavenly Grade treasures didn't even have a price concept yet.

Even without knowing its effect, everyone saw it as a divine skill!

In just a few minutes, various tycoons posted on the forums, offering sky-high prices to buy the Heavenly Grade skill from Lin Jichen.

The starting price was 50 million.

Li Fengwen, the boss of the Blood Fiend Guild, even offered a villa in the Nine Halls of Magic City!

The Nine Halls villas were so luxurious that even the top properties like Tomson Riviera paled in comparison. Each villa was worth hundreds of millions.

This undoubtedly fueled every player's desire.

As the saying goes, heavy rewards bring brave men.

Moreover, hunting players in the game carried no real risk. If you lost, you'd just die once and lose some cultivation or equipment.

It was zero cost, low risk, and high reward.

Who wouldn't want to do something like this?

No matter how powerful Lin Jichen was, if the entire server came after him, he couldn't escape.

Thus, Lin Jichen quickly became the server's "most wanted," listed on countless players' "capture" lists.

Players formed teams spontaneously, searching for Lin Jichen everywhere.

Many guilds also took action. Such high stakes meant that even the top players couldn't deter others.

Players from other provinces started flooding into Mu Xian Province.

Even top players like the first Blade Cultivator Dang Jinchuan, the first Body Cultivator Nine Nether, and the first Spear Cultivator couldn't resist the temptation and prepared to become bounty hunters.

Countless people targeted Lin Jichen, ready to kill him for the treasure.

After all, it was the first Heavenly Grade treasure in Tale of Immortal, causing an unprecedented sensation.

Lin Jichen didn't even need to think to know that thousands of players were eyeing him.

His only option now was to escape!

Suddenly, Jiang Luoyu sent a message.

"This is serious. I heard many players and guilds are planning to hunt you. Come to me. With the Moon Shadow Guild, they shouldn't dare to touch you."

Lin Jichen thought for a moment and declined.

He remembered that in his previous life, the first person to pick up a Heavenly Grade treasure was the leader of a large guild in Yuehua Province. He forgot the guild's name, but it had tens of thousands of members. Even so, they couldn't protect the treasure and were besieged by other guilds, forcing the leader to hand it over.

But the leader refused, and the entire guild fought to protect the treasure.

All members died over ten times, resurrected, and were killed again.

In the end, the leader was killed, and the treasure was stolen.

Not only did they lose the treasure, but the members also demanded compensation for their lost levels and equipment, which was astronomical.

The leader couldn't afford it, and the members left in anger.

The large guild disbanded, and the leader quit the game.

So, the only way to handle a Heavenly Grade treasure was to escape! Don't even think about fighting unless you have no other choice.

Lin Jichen was ready to flee.

"It's useless. In reality, people risk their lives for profit, let alone in a game. If your guild helps me, it will become a target. I have a solution; don't worry."

Lin Jichen declined Jiang Luoyu's offer.

Soon, Ren Lan also sent a message.

"Little Lin, run! Many people in our sect are saying they want to catch you. Tell me your location, and I'll come to help you."

Lin Jichen couldn't help but laugh. This girl was really naive.
