Chapter 89 - 89: 089, (Why did it turn blue?)
After Lin Chan left, Lu Xun saw Ji Li’s hesitant expression.
This naughty younger sister previously wanted to be his sword servant girl, but now seeing Lu Xun’s precedent of accepting a female disciple, she probably had the thought of taking him as a master again.
Ji Li’s thoughts are always so “pure”:
It’s quite disrespectful to woo her Great Uncle, and to woo her master is equally disrespectful, but across the entire Heavenly Dust Continent, there are precedents…
From being two generations apart to only one, this is progress!
Lu Xun could guess some of Ji Li’s thoughts and sighed, “Are you worthy of
Shen Yan who has invested ‘a fortune’ in you?”
Forget it, since he had already taken one of Shen Yan’s disciples, taking another one seemed to matter little. After all, even if he accepted Ji Li, he would not treat her as a disciple, it would be just a title.
Although he had this idea, he was not in a hurry to accept her.
He beckoned to Ji Li, and Ji Li immediately ran over, her movements attracting attention to certain places.
Sitting on a stone bench, Lu Xun looked at her and said, “Practice hard, and the day you become an Inner Sect Disciple, I will be there.”
It was a hint, and could also become a motivation for Ji Li’s cultivation!
Perhaps many years later, when Ji Li has become a peerless powerful being and recalls her past, she would find that her cultivation motivation and goals were so pure, and purely driven by “lust”.
Upon returning to his room, Lu Xun opened his Master-Disciple System and found Lin Chan’s name under the “True Disciple” column.
However, since both Lu Xun and Lin Chan are NPCs, he is not sure if he will be awarded experience points when Lin Chan’s cultivation base increases. The situation only means that one slot for disciples is now occupied.
This slot does not mean that Lu Xun can only take in ten disciples, but only the first ten disciples can gain experience points for Lu Xun when they level up. This indicates the limit of the rewards.
As for this, Lu Xun didn’t care. If there are rewards, that would be great. If not, it wouldn’t matter. After all, Lin Chan is a genuine Natural Sword Embryo, so it’s a great deal!
Once Lin Chan grows up, she will definitely be a great help to Lu Xun!
At this moment, he sat on the bed, looking at the skill icon of the Sword Cultivating Technique, hesitating a bit.
Before, when he killed the zombie, he received thirty thousand experience points. Just to raise his level by four levels, he spent less than twenty thousand.
The remaining ten thousand-plus experience points are not enough to raise him to level 10, but they are enough to raise the Sword Cultivating Technique by another level.
Under normal circumstances, players also choose to boost their Cultivation Technique and Skills simultaneously. But, the Sword Cultivating Technique is just too costly, from level 1 to level 2, it needs ten thousand experience points!
The Orange Level skill is indeed the supreme skill, but it also consumes a lot of experience.
In the later stages, probably a large amount of experience points won’t even stack up to one level!
“Sigh, I’m still lacking experience.” Lu Xun gritted his teeth and chose to level up.
Instantly, the small sword in his Sword Heart trembled, its sword light became more substantial, giving a more sharp impression, though it was still small and thin.
Lu Xun brought his fingers together, and a translucent Sword Qi condensed at his fingertips. He could feel that the Sword Qi was much stronger than before!
The essence of the Sword Cultivating Technique is a hundred percent critical hit rate, and leveling up went from a double critical hit rate to a triple critical hit rate!
With this Sword Qi, most Initial Cultivators probably wouldn’t even know how they died!
At this moment, he couldn’t help but remember that One Sword which instantly killed the Mother Zombie.
“I still need to work hard!” Lu Xun said to himself.
After a while, Lu Xun remembered and said, “Why hasn’t MO Guanji come back yet? How could he take so long with just a few headless corpses? Could it be…”
“It shouldn’t be…” Lu Xun said to himself.
After dismissing that idea, he became eager to interact with new players. After all, he needed to gain Experience Points!
On the other side, a haggard-looking MO Guanji finally entered Qingling City.
He felt pitiful!
He was initially happily completing his task, dealing with corpses until halfway through, another half-zombie sprang out of the thick woods!
He instantly noticed the sword mark on the half-zombie, which was inflicted by him. This half-zombie was the one who initially knocked him down and drained his energy completely.
Encountering a wild monster, MO Guanji naturally had to stop dealing with the corpse and needed to kill the monster first.
Moreover, he had just leveled up and had a sharp longsword at his disposal… Suddenly, he felt overconfident!
“If Purple Palace can defeat a wild boss with One Sword, I, MO Guanji, the leading child disciple under the Purple Palace, can kill you, a half-zombie.
That’s not too much, is it?”
I am going to avenge my humiliation now!
Then, relying on his “superb” tactics, he successfully allowed the half-zombie, which had already taken his first blood in Heavenly Dust, to take his second blood as well!
After respawning at the respawn point, MO Guanji came to grips with his reality. He no longer sought revenge for the time being, instead, he wished to quickly complete his task and then comprehend the task reward.
That damned half- zombie was actually guarding there, who knew what was going on in its pig-like brain!
It was too late to run. MO Guanji had no choice but to fight it again, and then resentfully provided it with his third blood.
When he respawned, he sneakily ran back. This time the half-zombie was finally not there, probably wandered elsewhere.
I don’t mind telling you, if it hadn’t left, hmm! I am confident I could killed it eventually by attrition!
After dealing with the corpse, the task bar showed that the task was completed. MO Guanji hurriedly descended the mountain, fearing he might run into the half-zombie again on his way.
“Wait till I level up again, I will definitely chop you to death!” MO Guanji thought to himself.
Upon his return to Qingling City, he made haste towards the Lai Fu Restaurant. Upon arriving at the restaurant’s door, he happened to bump into a player who was relentlessly pestering Lin Chan.
Lin Chan was a little helper at the restaurant, usually working in the kitchen. But when MO Guanji came last time, Lin Chan happened to bring the kitchen’s food to the lobby, which caught his attention.
Because this girl was too frail, she looked like a thin reed in the wind. When he was free, he checked her basic information. She was Lin Chan and, judging from her behaviour, she seemed to be… a little mute?
So you see, luck is also a kind of ability. The focus of MO Guanji’s attention could sometimes be quite odd, like he casually paid attention to a female NPC who would become one of the future world protagonists.
Now, what baffled him was, what was this male player named Liu Huangsu doing pestering a little mute girl so much?
It seems like he is overly attached, taking over the work from the little mute girl’s hands.
Lin Chan was going to deliver dinner to Lu Xun later, so she was cleaning the wooden tray with a cloth. Soon, she would place the food on the tray and carry it in.
Neither the shop waiter nor the shopkeeper dared let her do heavy work anymore. After all, the Immortal Master in the backyard said she had the fate of a fairy and might soon become a cultivator.
But suddenly a man appeared in front of her, constantly trying to make conversation with her and showing strong interest to help her with the work, which left Lin Chan somewhat at a loss.
MO Guanji, who was eating his snacks silently at the side, curiously checked Lin Chan’s basic information again. Then, he was dumbfounded.
“How did this little mute turn blue named!?”
(PS: Second update, the third one should be completed and uploaded around midnight. We suggest that you all don’t cultivate to avoid sudden death, read it when you wake up..)
