Ai Li put away the medicine bottle in his hand and said, unusually slowly, "I am a disciple of the Medicine Sect. Before, I, I came here to do a task, saw this child was about to die, and triggered the mission to save him. From the Skull General Tomb, I found medicine that can cure ghosts. After using the medicine on him, he became like this and won’t die. There’s no follow-up mission. My reward was a bottle of potion, but currently, I don’t know its use yet. The hint is that the trigger timing hasn’t arrived."
Apparently, Ai Li spoke very slowly, so he wasn’t stuttering as much.
Tianmiao saw a flickering mission prompt above the little green-faced ghost’s head and followed over. Just a little while ago, the timid Xiaofei now voluntarily stepped forward, looking up at Tianmiao.
Do you accept the mission—save?
Tianmiao chose yes.
Please retrieve the mission item—Lost Keystones 0/30; this is a Slash All Things exclusive mission with no follow-up hints.
"Lost Keystones?" Tianmiao softly repeated. This mission doesn’t have any extra descriptions. Where to start searching from?
"Keystones?" Ai Li heard Tianmiao speak and turned around, again speaking in a very slow tone, "My task has hints that a piece of the world keystone needs to be found to trigger the potion’s efficacy. Keystones refer to the World Keystones, apparently mentioned in the game’s background saying this world is built on the World Keystone. The immortal laws everyone uses also come from here. There are three keystone arrays on the continent, but they’re very ancient buildings."
Leng Yanhua interjected from the side, "Hey, ask me, I’m familiar! I’ve read the worldview story of this game several times; it’s quite interesting. There are indeed three Keystone Arrays on the continent.
But long ago, after the war of the Three Realms, due to the demons and monsters being unable to defeat the Immortal Clan, two of the Keystone Arrays they guarded fell, and ever since then, they couldn’t match the Immortal Clan anymore.
And the game mentions the immortal Shangyunzi, pursuing invincible power and immortal law, privately used the Keystone Array to enhance his immortal laws but became a madman with three Mana types—immortal, demon, and monster—within him, indiscriminately killing, eventually sealed.
His sword is the legendary Heavenly Forgiveness Sword, Divine Cyan." Leng Yanhua paced back and forth, searching his mind for prompts about the world keystone, then suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted, "Oh right, recently someone said they found a stone carved with runes near the Chaotic Burial Mound, but since it had no Spiritual Power, after asking around and no one knowing, it just disappeared."
Xiaofei timidly joined the discussion with everyone, shrunk his neck, and said softly, "Here, there are two lost keystones. The keystone array was destroyed by a plot boss, Blood Wheel Eagle King, two arrays need... need to be pieced back together."
Tianmiao bent down and patted Xiaofei’s head, encouraging, "It’s okay, take your time to speak."
Xiaofei nodded, continued, "The Slash All Things you used just now is only basic; Divine Cyan Sword needs to be upgraded, then the Divine Cyan Sword must be tempered on the three repaired World Keystone Arrays one by one, to then, to then... correct the world." Xiaofei was speaking smoothly at first, but suddenly, as if stuck, his tone became mechanical, woodenly spitting out a few words.
Correct the world?
Tianmiao’s heart suddenly jumped; she was incredibly familiar with this way of speaking. At this moment, the one in front of her must definitely not be a game NPC but most likely Chaos!
