Today, there’s an extra update. Is it too much to ask for a subscription, so monthly tickets?

Inside the Chaoyang Radiance Guild’s café, Gu Xi held a cup of dark red coffee, resembling blood, with a face full of confusion.
Is this coffee for real?
"Go ahead and drink it, this is the Song Family’s specialty Vampire Coffee, and it has a blood replenishnt effect."
Seeing Gu Xi’s troubled expression, Li Xinghui couldn’t help but chuckle.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xi took a sip of the coffee. A sour and bitter taste imdiately hit his tongue.
But in the next mont, he felt a sweetness spreading in his mouth, traveling straight to his stomach. The fatigue from repeated consumption of magic potions that caused his head to spin disappeared completely.
He felt as if he had just awakened from a three-day slumber, full of energy.
Everything around seed to co to life, and seed more vibrant.
"How is it? This coffee isn’t bad, right?"
"Not bad."
Gu Xi took another small sip of the Vampire Coffee and curiously asked, "Brother Li, did you co here specifically to find this ti?"
"Ah, how should I put it, I did indeed co here specifically to find you."
Li Xinghui thought for a mont and decided to get straight to the point.
"There’s sothing good to talk to you about. Bailian City will hold the once-in-a-decade White Training Grand Ceremony. All officially registered guilds can recomnd their players to participate.
The requirent for participants is that they must be official guild mbers, with abilities below Level 5, and have a guild recomndation.
You are the guild’s only externally recruited mber this year, and you’ve just beco a formal guild mber with your abilities precisely at Level 5, so naturally, you beco the hope of the village.
The managent asked to talk to you, hoping you can participate in this White Training Grand Ceremony and aim for a good ranking."
After listening to Li Xinghui’s reason for finding him, Gu Xi stared into Li Xinghui’s eyes.
"What is the guild’s goal? Is there any benefit to the guild for ranking high?"
"You noticed it, of course ranking high is beneficial to the guild.
Let put it bluntly, if you manage to secure first place, for the next ten years, Nether Bone Wind Academy’s selection will prioritize us."
Hearing Li Xinghui’s words, Gu Xi blinked, "Seriously, how low was the guild’s previous ranking to rope in soone like as the last one out?"
"No choice, the guild couldn’t select anyone before."
"Really? I saw quite a few players at the Scattered Immortal Garden."
Gu Xi said with a face full of puzzlent.
"But their abilities aren’t up to par, even after hovering around for so long, they haven’t reached Level 4. Even if they go, they’d just be cannon fodder.
As for those talented kids, most of them are children of the guild’s senior families, they’ve long beco elite guild mbers and can’t participate in the White Training Grand Ceremony.
That’s why the guild’s ranking has always been subpar."
Li Xinghui could only explain helplessly.
However, he didn’t ntion that the Chaoyang Radiance Guild isn’t considered a major guild among the many in Bailian City, and there aren’t many strong experts.
There isn’t much support for novice players, many are just here to loaf around, waiting to die. How could they achieve anything significant in the White Training Grand Ceremony?
After explaining all this, Li Xinghui said, "But this ti is different, your talents are evident. I heard that besides the Three Divine Skills Death City, you’ve mastered another Divine Skill, Death Incarnation.
This information has been kept under wraps by the guild leader, no one else but the people in Scattered Immortal Garden know.
This is your advantage, when they attempt to counter your Death City, your Death Incarnation can just step in and make a significant contribution, right?"
Seeing Li Xinghui’s animated expression, Gu Xi wasn’t so excited, instead, he calmly asked.
"Brother Li, you’ve been talking for so long, I still don’t know what we need to do for the White Training Grand Ceremony."
"Oh, if you hadn’t ntioned it, I would have forgotten. You should know the origins of Bailian City, right?"
Li Xinghui threw back a question.
"Of course, how could I forget sothing we learned in elentary school? The White Training Grand Ceremony doesn’t refer to the Fish Festival, right?"
Gu Xi had learned about the origins of Bailian City back in elentary school.
The city was originally established by a player nad Bai Lianqiu, who mastered the ga incarnation of fish. It was said that the earliest form of the city was a half-lake, half-city existence.
Later on, because of certain reasons, Bailian City gradually got placed under the influence of a ghost invasion, slowly turning towards a ghostly nature. Especially after the 18th City Lord failed to reach Level 20 and his scattered Undead Army took over the city, the city beca increasingly undead.
The nearby Yin Ghost Valley outside of Bailian City ford, and players in the city gradually shifted towards becoming Undead Mages or Death Knights.
Yet, the originally positioned White Silk Lake at the city’s heart remained unaffected, its clear waters as vibrant as before.
Nearby, at the lake’s shore, one could often see large schools of fish.
Even if soone can’t swim and falls into the water, there is no need to worry. The fish and lake will guide players to the shore, ensuring no one perishes therein.
Throughout the years, White Silk Lake has been the main source of water and food for Bailian City. Even if the entire city’s players beco undead, White Silk Lake cannot turn into the Undead Wind.
As Li Xinghui spoke, Gu Xi’s mories of Bailian City were unearthed.
"It’s not the Fish Festival, but sothing similar. This White Training Grand Ceremony is an offering to White Silk Lake to ensure its vitality.
During the offering, so of the Yin Mountains and Ghost Valleys around Bailian City will be affected, and many worlds originally nonexistent in Bailian City will automatically open up and appear around Bailian City.
If these worlds land directly, it could be disastrous for Bailian City.
You should have learned, when a city appears near another city, what happens."
"Invasion, devour, and destruction."
"Exactly, the White Training Grand Ceremony targets these worlds that suddenly appear near Bailian City."
"A new one-ti world? Got it, I’ll participate."
Listening to Wan Xinghui’s explanation, Gu Xi imdiately understood the situation.
However, Li Xinghui added another statent.
"Right, for fairness sake, no players are allowed to bring their own troops or Contracted Undead. Upon entering the new world, Bailian City will provide 30 Skeleton Soldiers, 10 Zombies, and 5 Ghosts, everyone receives the sa treatnt."
At this point, Li Xinghui winked at Gu Xi.
Gu Xi instantly understood the aning behind Li Xinghui’s words.
"Can Death City and Death Incarnation still be used?"
