Chapter 48: 050: Golden Back and Ghost Head

"You have conquered the Tuoshui Mountain Village, and soon your fame will spread far and wide, raising the notorious reputation of the Black Wind Village along with it. Your reputation in the martial world increases by 200, triggering the corresponding main quest ’Green Forest Dominator.’"

"Main Quest: Green Forest Dominator I

Quest Content: Become a dominator of the Green Forest in a commandery, leading one of the Nine Streams Force.

Quest Difficulty: Class A Grade B

Quest Rewards: Increase reputation in the martial world by 500, earn the title ’Green Forest Dominator’, 1000 Cultivation Points, 2000 Potential Points, and random advancements by one tier in two Martial Arts Realms."

"It’s a rare main quest!"

After reading the prompt that appeared on his panel again, Jiang Dali was exhilarated.

This was an extremely rare main quest that corresponded to the quest he had triggered.

Moreover, the rewards for the quest were very substantial.

Although he had previously issued similar quests to unify the Green Forest for the players,

those had been feasts for the players, providing him with only a few Cultivation Points and Potential Points as rewards.

However, now, with the conquering of the Tuoshui Mountain Village, he had unexpectedly triggered a main quest.

The most crucial aspect was that, in his view, the difficulty of this quest was virtually nothing.

"Hui City is the regional commandery, and surrounding it are only the Green Forest Mountain Villages of Black Wind Village, Tuoshui Mountain Village, Chongfeng Mountain Village, and Gale Mountain Village.

Once I lead these four mountain villages, I will undoubtedly become the Green Forest Dominator of Hui City.

Now that Tuoshui Mountain Village has been taken down, Chongfeng Mountain Village will not be tough to conquer, and Feng Sihai of Gale Mountain Village does not seem problematic either; this main quest is almost completed."

At this moment, Jiang Dali felt extremely relaxed.

Taking advantage of the temporary rest period in Tuoshui Mountain Village, he had already sent a carrier pigeon back to Black Wind Village to announce the good news and was preparing the next plan to attack Chongfeng Mountain Village.

Chongfeng Mountain Village only had two chiefs.

One of them was Blood Finger Ning Suan, who had already died at his hands.

The other was Wu Yunhong, the Great Master of Chongfeng Mountain Village.

Although Wu Yunhong was a woman, she was able to secure her position as the Great Master of Chongfeng Mountain Village with her formidable skills.

However, Jiang Dali certainly did not take her too seriously, prepared to set out on the attack once the dead players had regrouped.

Even though the players were very weak at the moment and could not be relied upon,

the main point was not to expect any real combat power from the players but to continue issuing the next phase of faction warfare quests to help the players quickly become stronger.

Only by making the players stronger could his own power significantly grow.

At this time, having gone through the second phase of unifying Green Forest, the players had again obtained a good amount of Cultivation Points and Potential Points.

Many of them had even advanced to the Power Refining Realm.

Jiang Dali had also consumed a massive amount of accumulated Cultivation Points during the battle with Ghost Saber Ji Ming to advance to the External Qi Realm, greatly enhancing his strength, restoring a large amount of Inner Qi and Qi-Blood during the fight, and unleashing powerful combat abilities; now, his only weakness might be that his Inner Strength was still too weak.

"I now only have a little over five hundred Potential Points left, not enough to enhance Basic Internal Skill, I’ll have to wait."

He had already exhausted all his Potential Points, but because the players had completed the first phase of the power struggle quests, he obtained another two hundred or so Potential Points.

Together with those gained from defeating Ji Ming, Gu Sun, and others, he had accumulated a little over five hundred more.

However, upgrading Basic Internal Skill to the 5th Realm of Refinement required 1000 Potential Points.

He didn’t have enough at present.

After contemplating, Jiang Dali flipped through the unique martial arts secret manual that he had acquired, his expression somewhat playful.

The manual was a Human-rank Blade Technique Secret Manual Fragment named ’Deceit Blade’ that Ghost Saber Ji Ming had obtained.

The name ’Ghost Saber’ came from this very manual.

However, when facing him, Ji Ming was thoroughly crushed by his strength, showing none of his formidable abilities.

For such an original version of a secret manual, Jiang Dali naturally understood its value.

Every secret martial arts manual in the Mixed Martial Arts World was rare. Often reviewing them naturally enhanced one’s understanding of the martial arts, increasing Martial Arts Proficiency.

This special effect was incomparable to copied versions of manuals.

For a force to grow and strengthen, the number of original secret manuals stored in its bookstore was key.

As the widely spread saying in the martial world went, "All Martial Arts come from Shaolin," part of the reason was the richness of martial arts stored in Shaolin Scripture Pavilion, the best in the world.

Jiang Dali tucked away the secret manual.

He then picked up the treasure sword that Ghost Saber Ji Ming had used to sever the Golden Nine-Ring Blade to examine.

As the blade turned, cold gleaming light reflected onto his face, giving a piercing sensation that made one’s hair stand on end.

"[Ghost Head Saber]

Level: Class 3 Famous Weapon

Weight: 88 jin, 3 liang, 2 qian

Damage: 30~37

Description: A famous weapon forged by the famous ironsmith Gan Hu, incorporating Mystic Iron that has been refined over a century. It effortlessly shears through iron and is highly durable and valuable."

"Great saber! It’s just a pity..."

Jiang Dali examined the Ghost Head Saber for a moment, inwardly lamenting its drawbacks.

The Ghost Head Saber was more than twice as heavy as the Golden Nine-Ring Blade, and its ability to shear through metal and durability perfectly matched his taste. Moreover, in terms of damage, it far surpassed the mere 6~8 damage of the Golden Nine-Ring Blade, easily breaking through golden silk armor rated at 15~17 in defense.

However, unfortunately, this saber lacked the nine rings detrimental to his saber skill.

The Golden Nine-Ring Blade had a thick body, adorned with nine iron rings on its back, a flat-tip that didn’t protrude forward, and a slightly slender and more curved handle ending with a ring.

The "rings" on the Nine-Ring Saber enhanced its chopping effect—when the saber was raised, the metal rings dangled, and the saber’s center of gravity shifted toward the hand, making it easier to control.

And when confronting an enemy, shaking the hanging rings had an intimidating effect.

Compared to the Ghost Head Saber, Jiang Dali was more accustomed to using the Golden Nine-Ring Saber.

Recalling that there was currently an ironsmith in Tuoshui Mountain Village, Jiang Dali immediately expressed his desire to meet the ironsmith.

"Great Master, please be seated, I’ll fetch Ironsmith Zhang to see you at once!" a shrewd mountain bandit leader said thoughtfully.

"No need!"

Jiang Dali stood up, "I want to meet this ironsmith myself."

Led respectfully by the bandit leader, Jiang Dali soon arrived at the ironsmith’s room in Tuoshui Mountain Village and met the rare Intermediate Ironsmith within.

The ironsmith was a one-armed middle-aged man with exceedingly robust and stalwart stature, spirited eyes, and seemed proficient in his craft.

Tuoshui Mountain Village had changed leadership, and as the new leader, Jiang Dali was naturally known to the ironsmith, who showed extreme deference and humility, appearing slightly uneasy.

"No need for formalities. I highly value talent and know that you are skilled in weapon forging. I want to test that now. If you pass the test, you will be handsomely rewarded!" Jiang Dali gestured.

Immediately, two bandit subordinates respectfully approached, carrying two weapons.

The subordinate holding the broken Golden Nine-Ring Blade still appeared calm.

However, the one holding the Ghost Head Saber seemed to struggle a bit more.

"Great Master, give me your command, and I will do my utmost!" Ironsmith Zhang, upon seeing the two sabers, became even more uneasy, worried about the outcome.

The imposing new leader mentioned rewards for passing the test.

But what if he failed... No mention was made of the penalties.

He heard the new leader loved beheading; could it be... Would the punishment involve his head?

Ironsmith Zhang nervously wondered, glancing at Jiang Dali’s arms, thicker than even his own, swallowing a warm gulp...
