Chapter 676: Chapter 659: Natural Body Refining Faction Epic Level Enhancement

Unlike other Sects, the Xuanji Immortal Mansion appears to be the most down-to-earth. Although it is also situated in the towering mountains, the terrain is relatively gentle in comparison.

The mountains are covered with colorful flowers, and at the top, you can see the misty five-colored light, giving it a feeling of a paradise on earth.

At this moment, many players have already gathered near the headquarters of the Xuanji Immortal Mansion, waiting to witness the first Tao Companions ceremony in the game.

One has to say, it is indeed quite grand.

Although the previous unique beautiful Tao Companions was also a Tao Companion, it was an NPC and part of the system functionality, so they couldn’t enjoy the same treatment as when players become Tao Companions.

Instructor Ding got angrier the more he thought about it. If he had known, he should have grabbed this first!

King Kong Barbie is King Kong Barbie, don’t be picky.

However, after seeing Brother Li’s Tao Companion, he felt that he should be picky.

Because Brother Li’s Tao Companion is really good-looking!

The character customization system in this game is quite powerful. Whether male or female characters, they can be customized to achieve high attractiveness, although body size cannot be adjusted.

Sister-in-law Li is obviously a new character and hasn’t used the Nine Dragon Elixirs, so she still maintains the graceful figure of Natural Body Refining.

The costume design in this game is also quite nice, with flowing sleeves and an immortal aura.

On a King Kong Barbie, it looks particularly abstract, but on a normally-sized character, the attractiveness boosts significantly.

Soon, the ceremony at Xuanji Immortal Mansion began.

One has to say the game got it quite right. Although there weren’t many complicated rites, there were many mini-games like walking the immortal carpet, setting off fireworks, and throwing the embroidered ball. Participants could also get some Spirit Stone red envelopes or random physical rewards.

The main event was holding a ceremony to confirm becoming Tao Companions.

Under the witness of disciples of the Xuanji Immortal Mansion, both parties would sign a special agreement, the content of which all players could see.

Once both parties agreed to the signing, the agreement would transform into a pair of small storage rings to be worn on the characters’ hands.

As this happened, colorful clouds and countless auspicious beasts appeared in the sky, and the atmosphere reached its peak.

Instructor Ding was stunned again, "What the heck? Storage rings?

"No one told me that after becoming Tao Companions, you get this thing!"

Now he was truly envious, because so far, the game’s storage system had been quite restrictive.

In typical cultivation novels, storage rings or Qiankun Bags are standard equipment for cultivators, obtainable even at low cultivation levels.

But "Reverse Heaven" was different. It started with a pouch, then became a Magic Treasure Storage Bag, but the slots were always quite tight, and you couldn’t just stuff anything in there.

Every time Instructor Ding returned from the Barbaric World, he had to first go to his Cave Mansion to store away some things he didn’t need.

But this storage ring was amazing, providing a shared storage space for both Tao Companions, equivalent to four times the capacity of a single storage bag!

Shared equally, it was double the original capacity for each person.

Of course, the entire ceremony, including the storage rings, was not free.

The Xuanji Immortal Mansion offered various price levels for the ceremony, and Brother Li, with no shortage of money, naturally chose the top tier.

You could say the storage rings were bought from the Xuanji Immortal Mansion, but it was still worth it because it was the only channel.

Others couldn’t buy them even if they wanted to.

"I’ve changed my mind again, I still need to find a real person to become Tao Companions with!

"I’ll leave the eldest sister-in-law to Jian Shang."

As the ceremony was about to conclude, Instructor Ding prepared to leave.

Just then, a disciple of the Xuanji Immortal Mansion approached him, "Instructor! I heard you’re looking for a Tao Companion?"

Instructor Ding looked and recognized the person.

This player was called Zi Su, a frequent guest on the Heavenly Pride List, although she had exploded once, she was still a Heavenly Pride disciple of Xuanji Immortal Mansion.

She was a female character.

However, she also had a square physique, about the same build as Instructor Ding, formidable at a glance.

"That’s right." Instructor Ding, being a popular streamer, was known throughout the server.

Zi Su said, "Our Sect specializes in this! Recently, many new players have joined the game, so I’ll help you sort through them to save you time and effort."

Instructor Ding was taken aback, "Oh? There’s such a good thing?

"By the way, in Xuanji Immortal Mansion, you can improve your cultivation by matching Tao Companions, right?

"Are you a matchmaker?"

Zi Su gave a "shocked" expression, "Not a madam! A matchmaker!"

Instructor Ding thought for a moment, "Alright, how do you charge?"

Zi Su replied, "It’s free because the game mechanism already provides us with a fixed reward. There’s no reason to charge extra.

"Besides, our goal is to establish a trustworthy Tao Companion matchmaking service for the entire server, and we can’t repeat the mistakes of the Life Star Pavilion.

"There’s a difference between a one-time benefit and consistent benefits, and we understand that."

Instructor Ding pondered, "Hmm, it sounds reliable. Alright, you help me pick a few, and I’ll chat with each of them. If I find someone compatible, I’ll consider it."

Zi Su sent an "OK" emoji, "No problem!"

The previous Life Star Pavilion incident had severely damaged trust across the server. When discussing business now, many players instinctively feared being scammed.

But from the current setting of the Xuanji Immortal Mansion, the chances of being scammed seemed low.

Because the secret technique of the Xuanji Immortal Mansion granted disciples a special reward for each matched Tao Companion, unlocking a new star position and gaining 3% of the total cultivation of that Tao Companion.

Matching more Tao Companions would increase this value, but like the Life Star Pavilion, there was an upper limit.

In any case, it was an extra, side-effect-free cultivation gain, which was very worthwhile.

These gains weren’t permanent, as they would gradually diminish and disappear entirely if the Tao Companions split up.

This meant that for disciples of Xuanji Immortal Mansion to maintain these cultivation boosts, they had to continuously match Tao Companions and ensure their relationships remained intact.

From this perspective, the interests of Xuanji Immortal Mansion players aligned with those seeking to become Tao Companions.

So, as Zi Su said, matching Instructor Ding and other players was a win-win situation.

Receiving some benefits during this process seemed reasonable to Instructor Ding, so he confidently left it to her to arrange.

Ultimately, he’d still make the final decision.

If he couldn’t find anyone suitable, there’d be no loss.

...

"Honored Taoist friend, do you want a Tao Companion? As long as you say the word, Xuanji Immortal Mansion will deliver one to you!"

In gathering areas near major sects, you could often see such advertisements.

As more whales breakthrough to Nascent Soul cultivation, the Xuanji Immortal Mansion also received epic upgrades, leading to a surge in business.

The disciples of Xuanji Immortal Mansion worked hard, actively running their matchmaking businesses.

They all knew that now was the best business opportunity, and work hard for great returns.

If they missed this wave, it would be hard to achieve such gains again, even with hard work later.

They were matching high-quality players, the server’s top cultivations and wealthiest.

The disciples’ gains were linked to the total cultivation of the Tao Companions.

Match a pair like Brother Li’s, and as he progressed, the disciples’ gains increased too.

It was like a gift.

Additionally, many joked that the latest update favored the Natural Body Refining Faction over the Xuanji Immortal Mansion.

Female players couldn’t fill the demand alone; some male players switched to female accounts.

Don’t ask why—it’s for a simpler life.

Many players felt it wasn’t necessary.

"The game doesn’t enforce male-female Tao Companions! Male cultivators can, too. Don’t be rigid about gender!"

"Right! Female cultivators, stand strong with enthusiastic brotherhood!"
