Half an hour later, a system prompt once again sent the entire server into an uproar.
Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to player Bing Shan for successfully transferring to the hidden profession Holy Priest, becoming the 7th player to successfully transfer to a hidden profession!
"Damn, what's going on? Isn't this Bing Shan the younger brother of Bing Shan Han Yue?"
"Yue Gong is about to become powerful, directly getting a hidden profession!"
"Hidden professions are so rare, and it's this freak Bing Shan who obtained one. His visual abilities are renowned throughout the entire network, with no one daring to claim the top spot. With the hidden profession Holy Priest, won't he become even more terrifying!"
"I wonder how much Yue Gong paid!"
When Bing Shan Han Yue heard this news, she was stunned. It wasn't just her; all the guild members of Yue Gong were also dumbfounded because they hadn't received any event notifications today.
"What's going on, Brother Bing Shan just transferred to a hidden profession like this, with no warning at all!"
"Yeah, Guild Leader, what exactly is going on?"
Bing Shan Han Yue quickly contacted her younger brother.
"Little brother, what's going on? Where did you get a hidden profession from?"
Bing Shan was still excited because the Holy Priest profession he obtained was too powerful. With this hidden profession, he could make more daring technical plays!
"It's the village chief. The village chief took me as an outer disciple. The meeting gift was a hidden profession. However, this hidden profession wasn't obtained from the village chief directly, but rather from a small secret realm discovered in a location designated by the village chief. As long as the secret realm is cleared, one can obtain a hidden profession. We were looking in the wrong direction from the start!"
"So that's how it is. Not all hidden professions are in the village chief's hands, but rather we were looking in the wrong direction. But the village chief knows the location of the hidden profession, right?"
"It's more or less like that!"
"Little brother, congratulations on becoming the village chief's outer disciple. From now on, your sister will be able to rely on your strong support!"
"No, I still prefer to stand behind you and contribute silently. However, now that I've become the village chief's disciple, some things might not be possible!"
"It's okay, as long as you get stronger, I'll be happy. Moreover, you're now the village chief's outer disciple. Such a good thing that others can only dream of, you must cherish it!"
"Understood. I see people in the guild channel are questioning. Sister, can you help me explain? I need to practice new hidden profession skills, and I have to go to a dungeon later!"
"Okay, I'll explain, you go ahead!"
In the level 20 leveling area, Bing Shan could properly practice this new profession.
Meanwhile, in the Yue Gong guild channel, Bing Shan Han Yue also explained the origin of the hidden profession.
"Wow, I'm a bit envious of Brother Bing Shan, becoming the village chief's outer disciple directly!"
"Brother Bing Shan's strength being recognized by the village chief was only a matter of time, after all, among priests, he's definitely the first!"
"So envious. Becoming the village chief's disciple allows one to obtain a hidden profession. Oh my god, when will such a good thing happen to me?"
"Go to sleep. Dreams can make anything happen!"
Soon, this news spread.
The village chief had taken another disciple, and it was the younger brother of the Yue Gong guild leader, Bing Shan Han Yue.
Giving a hidden profession as a gift for taking a disciple made many envious.
But it made people in the major families extremely resentful.
The village chief was clearly excluding them, the major families. It was rumored that the village chief had even kicked the Nangong family aside.
However, the Nangong family was currently trying its best to salvage the situation, and no one knew what the current state of affairs was.
Of course, apart from the Nangong family, who knew the inside story, others did not understand the internal details. This was precisely why the Nangong family was trying so hard to curry favor with the village chief.
But it was different for other families. Although they didn't know why the Nangong family's attitude towards the Dou family had changed 180 degrees overnight, they believed that as long as they united, they could build their own strongest forces.
Especially the Ouyang family, who had no intention of opposing the village chief, openly or covertly.
Since the village chief ignored them, they would find other avenues to strengthen themselves. They understood the principle that people can adapt to new environments, and they would not place their hopes on a vague and illusory NPC.
Their only goal now was to acquire the remaining hidden professions and bring them into their spheres of influence as much as possible.
But how could it be so easy to obtain hidden professions? Currently, only the village chief had this ability because he was an NPC.
However, the village chief would not share this information with any player, so trying to get it from the village chief was impossible. They could only try to get it from his disciples.
On the other side, after receiving the information from her brother, Bing Shan Han Yue deployed a large number of personnel to search for the so-called secret realms.
She couldn't guarantee that all secret realms would contain hidden professions, but at least it was an opportunity.
They had cleared quite a few secret realms before, but apart from obtaining some good equipment, they hadn't had much success. Moreover, secret realms were one-time events; once cleared, they were gone.
There were even more secret realms that were worse than leveling in the wild once entered, wasting time.
Because of this, secret realms were gradually overlooked by players. Even if someone discovered one, they didn't want to waste time, as most secret realms produced trash.
There were also many people selling information about secret realms online, but very few people bought them.
But at this moment, Bing Shan Han Yue made a grand gesture and bought all the secret realm addresses being sold online. This move immediately made others notice a trend: did secret realms contain something that could not be revealed?
Bing Shan Han Yue organized the core members of the guild and began clearing these secret realms one by one.
By the end of the morning, they had cleared over a dozen secret realms, yielding nothing.
Bing Shan Han Yue did not give up because of this.
In the afternoon, she acquired more than 10 additional secret realm addresses at a high price.
At this point, others could no longer sit still and also began to bid high prices for secret realm addresses, thinking that following the trend would not be wrong.
After clearing over a dozen secret realms one by one, it seemed like the afternoon would be wasted again.
A member shouted excitedly, "Guild Leader, my secret realm yielded something!"
Bing Shan Han Yue also perked up.
"What did it yield?"
"The warrior's hidden profession, Plum Blossom Swordsman!"
Bing Shan Han Yue said excitedly, "As expected, hurry back to the city and give it to me!"
"Yes!"
Not long after, the system prompt appeared.
Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to player Bing Shang Han Yue for successfully transferring to the hidden profession Plum Blossom Swordsman, becoming the 8th player to successfully transfer to a hidden profession!
"Damn, what's going on? These siblings, one after another, have become hidden professions!"
"Whispers say that Yue Gong has been buying secret realm addresses at high prices all day. According to their guild members, these hidden professions were obtained from secret realms!"
"Damn, no way. Did I miss out on a lot of hidden professions then? I used to see many secret realms and was too lazy to clear them, as the probability of getting trash was too high!"
"Isn't that so? Who would have known that hidden professions were hidden in secret realms? I don't know how Bing Shan Han Yue discovered it. It's likely that secret realms will become points of contention for players from now on!"
