Chapter 282: 282, [Rebirth from the Fire] (Second update, please vote for the month)
Translator: 549690339
Now that the mission [Escort and Guard] had ended, Lu Xun, after receiving a reward of 10,000 Experience Points, had no plans to stay longer.
The disciples of the Demon Sect also needed to report back to the sect. Lu Xun had already thought of an excuse, claiming he was just passing by, and they happened to be lucky, saved by him by mistake.
No one would doubt his explanation.
After all, the essence of a lie is that only those who trust you would regard it as true.
Before Lu Xun left, he also brought along the unconscious Xu Zhongcheng.
One reason was that Xu Zhongcheng’s injuries were severe. Although his external wounds had mostly healed, the place where his Qi Sea stored Spiritual Energy had been blasted rotten when his own Qi exploded. Lu Xun’s green pearl could not fully restore it but could provide some help.
The other reason was that he was afraid that Xu Zhongcheng would find it hard to accept the current situation when he woke up.
If he remembered correctly, this kid was one of my fans.
The comfort of an idol possessed infinite power!
Lu Xun felt that he possessed the ability to enlighten Xu Zhongcheng.
Lu Xun took a paper crane out of his storage ring, then used a stream of ink-colored energy to float Xu Zhongcheng onto the paper crane, and flew towards Qingling City.
Along the way, Lu Xun opened his character panel.
He glanced at it and found a slight increase in the Reputation Value.
He estimated that after the disciples of the Demon Sect returned to their sect and broadcasted his heroic actions, his Reputation Value would increase significantly.
Lu Xun rescued people out of sincerity. But if he could also gain something while saving people, that would naturally be a happy occasion.
The goal of the next Prestige Value Task was still very far, but eventually, he would complete it through accumulation of time.
Once the task is submitted, he will be able to receive one Random Special Attribute Point, delightfully so!
After Lu Xun arrived in Qingling City, he left Xu Zhongcheng at the Lai Fu Restaurant.
Coming in with his original appearance, wearing his recognizable bamboo hat.
As soon as Mr. Wang Pan saw him, he immediately recognized him as Lin Chan’s master. He wanted to strike up a conversation, but he didn’t dare.
He knew Lu Xun was of a special identity, although, not knowing his specific identity, but to him, people like this were as far away as the stars in the sky.
Little did he know, he had sat and had meals with this cultivator just a few days ago.
Lu Xun’s Illusion Technique [At Will], with the addition of 1 Charm attribute point, could not be seen through by anyone other than a Great Cultivator. For a mere mortal like Mr. Wang Pan, it was naturally impossible to see through.
Seeing Mr. Wang’s constrained expression, Lu Xun found it somewhat amusing.
But as he had important matters to attend to, he didn’t chat with him. After instructing him to take care of Xu Zhongcheng, he left the Lai Fu Restaurant and then disappeared on the streets.
When he reappeared outside Qingling City, he had resumed his White Emperor persona.
He was back in business harvesting ‘leeks’.
Regrettably, due to the sudden mission to rescue the disciples of the Demon Sect, he had neglected the mature ‘leeks’, who had themselves lined up under his scythe waiting to be harvested. This led to a significant reduction in the number of players gathered outside the city today.
But it didn’t matter, as long as he appeared here every day for the next few days, a large number of players would naturally gather again.
“I’ll stay in Qingling City for another two days, then change to a different place,” Lu Xun said to himself.
It’s not meaningful to stay in one area for too long, changing locations for harvesting, was the king’s way!
As for where to teach skills, it doesn’t make much of a difference to Lu Xun, as long as it’s not too far from the Demon Sect.
At the moment, while transmitting skills, he was also browsing through the forum with divided attention. Soon enough, two posts attracted his attention.
The first post was promoting him, informing the players that the White Emperor had appeared outside Qingling City!
The man is back!
The second post was of the “scamming meals and drinks” type, which read:
“I really want to learn the Astonishing Sword Technique taught by the White Emperor, but the White Emperor has never come to our One Sword Mountain area.
Sigh! If the White Emperor comes to our area to teach skills, I will live stream myself eating shit while standing on my head, and it has to be the diarrhea kind!”
Upon seeing this post, Lu Xun was successfully attracted, he gasped in astonishment and then made a decision: “Well, then let’s go to the One Sword Mountain area!”
I wonder if this tough-talking guy will keep his word?
That said, One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain are actually neighboring sects, having separated from the same origin.
With the border being the beautiful and magnificent giant waterfall, the ten peaks are divided into two halves. The five peaks on the left belong to One Sword Mountain, and the five on the right belong to Ten Thousand Sword Mountain.
Therefore, under this post, there were naturally players from Ten Thousand Sword Mountain replying: “What do you mean your One Sword Mountain area? This is clearly our Ten Thousand Sword Mountain area, alright?”
“Bullshit! This is our One Sword Mountain’s territory! Fight me if you disagree!”
Quickly, the comments under the post became heated.
As the argument went on, it quickly escalated into a PK (player killing) session, and a wave of troll-like players probably scheduled a fight.
“Players from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain really have never lacked enthusiasm!” Lu Xun couldn’t help but exclaim.
At the same time, in the courtyard of the Lai Fu Restaurant, the Spirit Crow perched on a tree branch, flapped its wings and flew to the restaurant entrance.
Lu Xun didn’t take Spirit Crow with him when he left the restaurant.
The Spirit Crow was obedient, staying quietly on the tree as instructed by Lu Xun. This fool could stand there all day.
After landing at the entrance, it lifted its claws and walked forward.
The sight of most birds walking with their claws usually looked quite funny.
Their bodies would sway left and right as they moved, similar to the way penguins walk, and the Spirit Crow was no exception.
This action, accompanied by the Spirit Crow’s dull expression, seemed even more amusing.
This dull crow walked into Xu Zhongcheng’s room like this, and then, flapping its wings, flew onto the edge of the bed.
It tilted its head, examining Xu Zhongcheng carefully.
After observing for a long time, it nodded slightly.
The next moment, golden runes glittered faintly in the depths of its black eyes.
It spread its wings, and the golden feathers at the ends of its wings sparkled with glaring light!
The heat waves emanating from it spread in all directions, then converged on Xu Zhongcheng’s body.
His skin turned red in an instant, and white smoke even appeared from his body.
If anyone unrelated was present, they might think that this unconscious young man had been cooked by the Spirit Crow!
Xu Zhongcheng’s brows furrowed tightly, as if he was suffering immense pain.
As time passed second by second, the spirit crow vigorously flapped its wings.
The next moment, Xu Zhongcheng’s body seemed to be under some sort of traction, he no longer lay on the bed but changed to a cross-legged sitting position, just like when he practiced normally.
The only difference was that when he got up from the bed, his movements were extremely stiff and unnatural.
He seemed more like…
a puppet on a string!
(Ps: Second update, any monthly tickets to throw? )
