Now, Lu Xun only had a little over three hundred spirit stones left in his storage ring. Despite his polished exterior, he might just be poorer than some of the goofball players out there.

Who would have thought, this seemingly wealthy NPC that players were dying to fawn over, had already squandered his entire fortune?

“Sigh, the cost of teaching skills in exchange for resources is getting higher and higher,” Lu Xun thought.

Of course, it’s not a loss. Aside from anything else, he also learned these skills himself. Especially these blue-level skills, which could be handy at times.

As for how much experience points they will bring?

Well, just a tiny bit for now!

Lu Xun turned to the two girls and asked, “How is your study of the magical weapons going?”

“Ah? It’s super handy! Thank you Elder Lu!” Xiao Long Bao cheerfully held up her “Lu Ming” and said: “And the name of this wooden talisman is so pleasant, ‘Deer Cries in the Wild, Eating the Wild Apple’.”

Xiao Long Bao, feeling quite cultured after reciting the poem, did not receive any response from Lu Xun.

Lu Xun knew that the poem came from ‘The Book of Songs’, and he could recite the entire thing.

Your little display of pseudo-intellectualism, can’t scare me.

At noon, Lu Xun lightly smiled and said: “Later, find a small river and catch a few fish. I’ll make fish soup.”

As he spoke, without waiting for the girls’ response, he continued: “I see you’re both sword cultivators, and at such a young age, your cultivation base is not bad at all. After the meal, I’ll teach you a sword technique. After you learn it, demonstrate it for me.”

“Ha? Seriously?” Questions furiously bubbled in Xiao Long Bao’s mind.

Just by catching a few fish, they could learn new skills?

Was this any different from having a pie fall from the sky?

Although the Purple Palace was indeed the world protagonist, it was understandable to be generous as the protagonist. But it was unlike the game’s usual patterns to just give away skills freely.

“There must be a catch!” Xiao Long Bao, the detective, was certain she wasn’t mistaken.

Seeing the girls’ expressions, Lu Xun replied calmly: “The Heavenly Dust Continent faces a great calamity, and peaceful days are numbered. Starting tomorrow, I plan to hold classes outside of Blooming City, to help more sword cultivators learn to protect themselves better.”

After glancing at each other, the girls quickly understood everything.

Perhaps… this was the responsibility of the World Protagonist!

Those who save the world, change the world, their magnanimity and determination are different from ordinary people like us.

Ah, it’s truly humbling!

Of course, after being humbled for three seconds, Xiao Long Bao decided to shout about it in the guild chat. This great opportunity should be shared with guild members close to Blooming City!

This was also the deeper meaning of Lu Xun telling them about his plans in advance.

Go on and call people quickly, so I can earn more!

Lu Xiaoyu looked at Lu Xun with admiration in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Xiao Long Bao piped up with a compliment: “Elder Lu’s noble character is truly admirable.”

Lu Xun: “…”

In my previous life, no one accused me of being ruthless more often than you!

He raised his hand dismissively and said indifferently: “I’m not as selfless as you think. My teacher once told me that sometimes, while teaching, cultivators can also gain insights. I am using this opportunity to break through my own barriers and level up.”

“Ah, so that’s how it is,” replied Xiao Long Bao, nodding.

When you look at it that way, it all makes sense.

Just consider it a welfare distribution by the world protagonist!

Xiao Long Bao sat there and immediately announced the news in her guild chat.

If it were leaders of large guilds with ulterior motives, they might want their members to keep it a secret so they could monopolize the benefits.

But Xiao Long Bao wouldn’t do that. She created a guild just for fun, and played ‘Heavenly Dust’ just for enjoyment. She wasn’t the type to engage in complex schemes, being content with goofing around joyfully every day.

Therefore, it was expected that once the members of her guild got wind of the news, they’d surely share it with their friends. This would create a ripple effect of one person telling ten others, and ten telling a hundred.

There’s a saying, “Don’t tell a secret to the wind, it will spread it to the entire forest.”

Of course, in Lu Xun’s mind, Xiao Long Bao wasn’t a gossip, but she could definitely be used as a tool to spread the word.

He figured that there must be people in Xiao Long Bao’s guild who could spread news like the wind.

Before long, the paper crane landed in a dense forest.

The girls went to catch fish while Lu Xun sat cross-legged under a tree, seemingly meditating, but actually browsing the forum.

As anticipated, the “wind” had blown.

Not much time had passed when a player from the “One Night Fish and Dragon Dance” guild posted the news on the forum.

When they released the news, it instantly set off a sensation!

The first reactions in the reply section were doubts.

“Is this real or fake? The Purple Palace is personally teaching skills?”

“Fake news, fact-checked.”

“Someone would actually believe this? Hahahaha!”

“If this news is real, I’ll eat a month’s worth of your shit!”

“+1, after the guy above finishes eating the shit for June, it’ll be my turn in July!”

“I’ll take August!”

Many players voiced similar doubts, which wasn’t surprising.

After all, such an event was unheard of, and considering the Purple Palace’s distinguished status, it just seemed unbelievable.

Moreover, the reputation of the “One Night Fish and Dragon Dance” guild was rather insignificant.

If a large guild had made the announcement, it would have been much more credible.

As Lu Xun expected, he soon saw replies along those lines:

“‘One Night Fish and Dragon Dance’? Is that some puny guild I’ve never even heard of?”

“Heh, it’s just a small guild trying to stir up drama for attention.”

“If it was a big guild claiming this, I’d actually believe it.”

“Oh, this guild, I kinda remember them. The president and the vice president are both girls right? Seem to have encountered the Purple Palace a few days ago and fought some ghosts together in Frost Feather City. Probably they’re riding on the coattails of the Purple Palace’s influence after tasting a bit of fame.”

Soon, the members of the One Night Fish and Dragon Dance guild came out to reply and then a flame war blew up.

Lu Xun even saw Xiao Long Bao getting into the fray, making all sorts of biting comments.

By the end of it, there were quite a few people shouting, “Stop nagging, you annoying girl! If it’s true, I’ll kneel and call you mom!”

Lu Xun smirked at these comments.

“Same old players, same old drama. Always ready to argue about anything and everything.”

Regardless, the One Night Fish and Dragon Dance guild was run by his little sister.

Even if he was the one who started the controversy, he would definitely come out in support of the guild anyway.

Some dirty-talking players and arrogant guilds were noted down by Lu Xun.

After a while, Lu Xiaoyu returned, dragging along Xiao Long Bao and a fat fish.

Lu Xun could see that Xiao Long Bao’s mood was fluctuating wildly.

This girl was quite ticked off.

“I haven’t hogged any good stuff for myself and some ungrateful twits have the nerve to complain! Just because we’re a small guild?! Argh! My flat chest is about to explode from anger!” She vented in her mind.

Technology was so advanced now; even a stranger across the world could vex you till you got a headache.

“Should I flex the magical weapon and paper crane given by the Purple Palace on the forum, just to shut them up?”

“Sigh! But that seems so low class!”

“Really, I didn’t handle the argument well just now. I shouldn’t have responded in some ways…”

But once Lu Xun had cooked the fish soup and she had tasted a bit, she forgot all her worries and focused on enjoying the soup.

A person shouldn’t miss out on tasty food just because of some jerks.

Seeing Xiao Long Bao finally calm down, Lu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

After tasting the fish soup Lu Xun cooked, she couldn’t help but close her eyes in satisfaction.

“So delicious,” she thought.

After the meal, Lu Xun began to teach skills.

He didn’t offer any choices and directly taught them the Intermediate Blue Level skill, Thousand Autumns.

According to the system rules, learning a skill requires consumption of experience points. Lu Xun can only choose a suitable amount within the range provided by the system.

When Lu Xun taught the skill, he slightly reduced the cost with the reasoning of favorability, but it wasn’t free.

At most, it was like getting a discount.

Even so, the two girls were thrilled when learning Thousand Autumns.

We scored big time! It was a jackpot!

…

…

The next day, early in the morning, there was already a crowd of players gathered outside Blooming City.

Despite all the upheaval on the forum, there still wasn’t any concrete evidence, leaving people uncertain about the truth.

However, a large number of players near Blooming City couldn’t resist coming to take a look.

If it was false, well, they just wasted some time.

But what if it was true?

That would be Purple Palace! Even just seeing them, taking a picture, or filming them would be worthwhile!

Given the slightest chance, many players didn’t want to miss out.

For professional gamers, every second in the game matters.

For ordinary gamers, they just played for fun and time was the least valuable thing to them.

Moreover, the forum was full of quarrels, and even the president of the guild had personally responded.

Many people were there just to see how it would all unfold.

If it was true, those who threatened to kneel and call her mom would be utterly humiliated.

But if it was false, this guild would become infamous.

At this moment, the members of One Night Fish and Dragon Dance guild were huddled together.

They could feel the gazes directed at them from all around.

They could even hear some internet trolls spewing insults near them.

A few of those who had threatened to kneel and call her mom had actually shown up…

As time ticked by, the members of One Night Fish and Dragon Dance could not help feeling anxious, but they also held onto hope and anticipation.

Just then, everyone saw a giant paper crane flying through the sky.

That was the signature flying treasure of the Demon Sect’s back mountain!

“Purple Palace! I see Purple Palace!” Someone shouted.

“And there are two more people! There are two players on the paper crane!”

The members of One Night Fish and Dragon Dance guild wanted to scream at that moment.

Because their president and vice president were sitting on Lu Xun’s paper crane!

This was a privilege that no player had enjoyed thus far!

At that moment, they were descending from the sky on Lu Xun’s paper crane!

…
