Chapter 235: 235, [Damn, the road has gone astray again]

Translator: 549690339

After this thought suddenly struck him, Lu Xun was ready to give it a try.

“Nothing could possibly go wrong under Mr…’s vigilant eyes, right?” A relaxed smile played on his lips.

He believed even if something unexpected happened, Mr… would be there to ensure his safety.

There’s no environment more suitable for this potentially dangerous trial than the Small Study!

He could boldly push the boundaries of danger.

And so, Lu Xun gathered some Sword Qi at his fingertips and made a small cut on his left palm.

The cut wasn’t that deep, just enough to draw blood.

It wasn’t painful for him; instead, it helped clear his mind.

As the blood started dripping towards the white bead, Lu Xun quickly used the green bead to heal his wound.

When the blood hit the white bead, instead of sliding off it as expected, due to its slick, smooth surface, the bead absorbed it in an instant.

It was like parched earth receiving a drop of rain, thirsty for moisture!

The bead absorbed Lu Xun’s blood, but nothing unusual happened.

Lu Xun frowned pensively and after a few seconds, he made another cut on his palm with the Sword Qi.

It’s worth mentioning that a person with a Charisma level of 10 would bleed in an exceptionally mournful way.

This time he didn’t use the green bead to heal himself immediately, but let the blood drop by drop into the bead.

“Are you a sanitary pad or what? So thirsting!” Lu Xun sneered inwardly.

The amount of blood he had given could fill the bead.

He was about to stop there.

However, the next moment…

White, milky light began to emanate from the bead!

Hidden within the light was a speck of red.

A strange aura began to spread. Lu Xun’s vision blurred, then saw an eye!

Amid endless darkness and void, there was only this eye!

It was a narrow, long, and indifferent eye!

It was like a crack in the dark void.

Upon eye contact, Lu Xun felt a sudden surge of danger.

“This could kill me!”

Luckily, the next moment, the vision collapsed on its own and he was left with a message prompt.

“Phew!” Lu Xun heaved a sigh of relief, feeling like he had just had a close shave.

Thank goodness I have the cheat!

Once his emotions had calmed down, he began to peruse the prompt.

“[Ding! You have assimilated a Dao bead.]”

“So it’s called a Dao bead?” Lu Xun mumbled to himself.

The bead had disappeared as if he had absorbed it!

Lu Xun:

Didn’t I still end up ‘eating’ it!?

You have to know, this bead was clearly a crucial part of the Foreign Race Altar. Now that I’ve assimilated it, what am I supposed to be?

Some kind of human altar?

First, I became the embodiment of a sword, and now am I supposed to be an altar? That can’t be, right?

“Does this mean when the Foreign Race massively invades, I could turn into a gateway?”

Would the Foreign Race be able to transit through me?

“Or does it mean that from now on the Foreign Race will consider me one of them?”

Shucks, I’m at a loss for words all of a sudden.

“It shouldn’t be this bad. After all, the game system deemed it ‘assimilated.’ From a factional perspective, I’m not part of the Foreign Race Faction. This damn game is clearly on the side of Heavenly Dust Continent, it won’t just screw me over like this.”

After analyzing the situation, Lu Xun concluded that being a human altar most likely would not happen.

However, compared to this, being a Glamorous Sword Goods seems much better.

I will continue to be my Glamorous Sword Goods then.

Lu Xun pulled up his character panel, trying to see if there were any differences.

Soon, he found an additional attribute listed under the column for Special Attributes.

Two characters – [Primordial Power]!

“I’ve never heard of this special attribute,” said Lu Xun, looking a bit confused.

He tried to open the information about the special attribute, but it showed: “This special attribute point cannot be used due to faction constraints.”

Lu Xun was dumbfounded:

If I can’t use it, why the hell did you fuse it with me?!

Frustrated, he pretended to flip a table! ┻━┻ (╯‵□′)╯︵-

Wait a minute! If I think about it another way, does that mean I can use this special attribute point if I abandon my current faction?

Of course, that would be absolutely impossible.

After closing his character panel, Lu Xun started to inspect his own meridians, spiritual power, divine sense, and so on, to see if there were any changes.

He found a small, milky white dot in the center of his divine sense sea, which looked much like a miniature Dao bead.

He carefully felt it with his own divine sense and instantly got a strange feeling.

One after another, images of altars surfaced before his eyes!

But these images disappeared quickly – Lu Xun didn’t even have time to take a closer look.

After taking a deep breath, Lu Xun slowly opened his eyes.

“If I get the chance, I should try destroying another altar,” he muttered to himself.

From what he remembered, destroying altars shouldn’t result in the drop of any pearls.

The pearl he obtained this time was probably because the altar still wasn’t finished, and the pearl hadn’t fully fused with the altar yet.

Of course, it could also be because the altar had already been used to summon the foreign race once and most of its energy had been depleted.

Regardless of the reason, he planned to destroy another altar when given the opportunity.

After all, he remembered the locations of several altars, and there were attribute points and contribution rewards for destroying them. It would be a waste not to do it!

It would be better to destroy a few earlier. Once the foreign race arrives in great numbers, it could get complicated!

After sorting out his thoughts, Lu Xun opened the window and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Only then he remembered, “Did everyone miss what happened earlier, even the master?”

“Did the master really not notice anything?” Lu Xun was quite surprised.

The next day, Lu Xun got up early and started making breakfast with Little Chan.

“You haven’t been skipping your cultivation on the mountain while I’ve been away, have you?” Lu Xun asked with a smile.

It was just like a parent asking their child if they have been studying hard while they were away on a business trip.

Lin Chan nodded, indicating that she has been diligently cultivating.

“Did you miss me?” Lu Xun teased her.

Lin Chan lowered her head and blushed. Despite feeling shy, she nodded.

Lu Xun pried further “Did you just nod or shake your head just now? Your movements are so slight that I couldn’t really see.”

Lin Chan was very embarrassed. Her face turned red as she stiffly wrote “I did” on Lu Xun’s palm.

She didn’t dare to look at him.

Lu Xun was satisfied and stopped teasing her.

“Ah, my little Chan is so well-behaved. Even though she’s in her rebellious phase, she doesn’t seem rebellious at all. Lu Yu was quite the little hypocrite at her age,” Lu Xun sighed internally.

But then again, Little Chan is indeed growing more and more beautiful.

Such a delicate and lovely girl.

The feeling of raising her is wonderful!

And with her personality, she looks like a little deer in the forest, giving a cute impression.

After breakfast was done, Lin Chan served it to everyone.

The whole house was eating pancakes in great delight amidst a field of bamboo.

This scene was non-existent when Lu Xun left the mountain.

Under normal circumstances, Mao Nanbei and the master would sleep in late to avoid Third Senior Brother’s cooking.

They avoid eating certain dishes whenever they can – less is more when it comes to him.

After breakfast, Lu Xun planned to go to the Outer Sect.

It was time to mingle with the silly players of the Demon Sect.
