1500 Yuan's Interview
"What is your cultivation currently at in Cultivation Online?"Yan Xiaoxiao asked Yuan as they walked through the hallways.
"Ninth level Spirit King," he calmly responded.
"Wow! I only know of one other person who's a Spirit King, and they've just achieved the first level of Spirit King after spending a fortune on resources! How much did you spend to get to your cultivation?"
"I rarely purchase my cultivation resources. I hunt them. It's much cheaper and more efficient that way."
"Wha—! So you've reached the peak of Spirit King without consuming treasures?! Is that even possible?! Have you ever purchased gold for Cultivation Online? What do you do with your resources?"
"The majority of my cultivation was obtained from monster cores that I hunted. I have never purchased gold for Cultivation Online, but I've sold many things on the auction house for money to spend on Earth. It's also how I was able to afford this place at first."
"Oh? Rare treasures that are typically out of most players' reach would occasionally make their way into COPlayerAuctions, usually in bundles, and they would always sell for a fortune. Perhaps you're responsible for most of them?"
Yuan smiled and said, "Perhaps."
Sure enough, he'd sell all of the treasures that were useless to him at COPlayerAuctions. This included all the loot he picked up from his slain enemies.
"There have been fewer and fewer high-quality treasures being sold in COPlayerAuctions these days. Do you plan on selling more treasures in the future?"
"Who knows? I don't really need any money right now." Yuan shrugged.
He'd already earned enough money to splurge on for several lifetimes, and since he no longer needed to pay to live in the Dragon Spiral Mountian ever since he helped the Lord kill the demons, he decided to stop selling treasures.
"Can you tell me what you typically do in Cultivation Online? Are you focused on improving your cultivation? Hunting treasures? Quests?"
"A little bit of everything, I suppose. I don't have any routine or strictly focus on one thing. I just go where fate takes me."
"Going where fate takes you, huh? That's a good one!" Yan Xiaoxiao chuckled.
She paused for a moment to look at her notes before continuing, "You had a lot of player announcements from hunting many unique Elite Bosses. Can you tell us a little about that place?"
"It's a dangerous place called the Vanishing Valley." Yuan calmly responded.
Yan Xiaoxiao was a little surprised to see Yuan answering so casually. Many people believed it was a secret hunting ground, so she wouldn't have been surprised if he had refused to answer the question.
Seeing her reaction, Yuan smiled and said, "I know what you're thinking. It's a dangerous place filled with magical beasts that defy the cultivation restriction placed on each realm, so you can encounter magical beasts as powerful as immortal cultivators that you would normally only be able to encounter in the Sixth Heaven and above. Even I nearly died several times in there, so unless you have a death wish…"
Yan Xiaoxiao swallowed nervously at this information. No doubt, many players will ignore Yuan's warning and visit the Vanishing Valley once they see this interview.
Yan Xiaoxiao stopped the interview when they arrived at the training ground. Yuan retrieved his zither and exercised his fingers with several heavenly songs.
Yan Xiaoxiao watched his performance with a dazed look on her face. It was Yuan's music that made her pursue a career as an idol.
