Chapter 474: 474, [This City is So Empty]
The acquisition of one hundred million experience points made Lu Xun’s eyes turn red with greed.
If it weren’t for his respect for his teacher, he might urge his master to paint more pictures repeatedly, like a playback machine:
“Hurry up!”
The master waved his hand and asked, “Does the Ink Bamboo reflected in your mind still exist?”
Lu Xun answered honestly, “It has vanished.”
“Then you have absorbed its ‘Rhyme’, you can no longer gain any more from my painting.” said the master.
Upon hearing it, Lu Xun was slightly taken aback. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Does this mean that I have fully comprehended the painting?
So a hundred million experience points are indeed the limit.
Lu Xun shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, “It seems like I was indeed too greedy.”
C’mon, men are not sensitive to the number of billions, it’s no big deal to spend a couple of billions time and time again.
It’s all about striving for constant improvements after all.
Lu Xun put down the brush in his hand, stood up, and bowed to his master, saying, “Disciple is grateful for the teachings of the master.”
The master nodded in contentment. Lin Chan and Ji Li, who were standing next to the master, were looking at Lu Xun with stars in their eyes.
They had been under the master’s special training for nearly half a year, but still failed to comprehend the ‘Rhyme’ of his paintings.
Lu Xun, on the other hand, was able to fully comprehend it just in a few hours.
This gap was so significant that it stirred admiration within them.
“The master is so powerful!” Lin Chan thought to herself.
“Lu Xun is so amazing!” Ji Li thought to herself.
Before departing, the Master asked Lu Xun, “Little Five, where do you plan to go if you leave the mountain?”
Lu Xun answered honestly, “I haven’t made up my mind yet.”
The master calmly replied, “Xiao Man plans to go to West State. I asked her to take Little Chan and Little Li’zi for some training. Your third senior brother plans to go to Central Continent, you should pick somewhere different.”
Lu Xun thought for a moment and said, “Master, I plan to go to the Three Thousand Mountains.”
There were several reasons why he chose to go to the Three Thousand Mountains.
The first reason was that he had connections with Tianque Gate, which had gradually become the leader in the Three Thousand Mountain area. It would be easier for Lu Xun to manage affairs there.
The second reason was that the Three Thousand Mountain area was densely populated with mid to small-sized sects. This led to a large number of players, making it convenient for Lu Xun to exploit them.
The third reason was that the Three Thousand Mountain area had suffered severe damage in his previous life, and Lu Xun wanted to see if he could help in any way.
The master didn’t say much when he heard Lu Xun had chosen the lesser-known Three Thousand Mountain area. He simply nodded and said, “It’s okay.”
Only then did Lu Xun realize and ask, “Master, what about elder sister number four?”
“Ask her yourself.” the master replied.
Mao Nanbei promptly jumped onto Lu Xun’s shoulder, wiggling her tiny butt, and said, “Little junior brother, elder sister number four will be coming with you to the Three Thousand Mountains, are you happy?”
Lu Xun: “…”
Damn loli, you better not sit on my face with your buttocks, just don’t get me into trouble.
…
…
The quiet night passed just like that. Nothing special happened last night except for Little Chan knocking on Lu Xun’s door, leading to a dual cultivation session between the master and the disciple.
As Lu Xun’s cultivation base got higher, the difficulty for Lin Chan to apply the Sword Cultivating Technique on him increased.
In the end, Lin Chan ended up breaking a sweat during the dual cultivation, and Little Mute was panting heavily.
She told herself silently, “I have to work harder in my cultivation. I can’t fall too far behind the master. I can’t be useless.”
Who would have thought that Lu Xun, as he currently was, could bring such an immense psychological pressure on the world protagonist.
As usual, Lu Xun went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast in the morning.
After having their breakfast, people from the back of the mountain began to descend one by one.
No one dared to ask if the master was going to stay or leave the mountain.
The most disrespectful person on the back mountain was Mao Nanbei. She had the audacity to ask, but she was totally uninterested in the master’s itinerary…
All she wanted was to stick to Lu Xun for a lifetime.
Other cultivators at the age of one hundred would either pass down their teachings, act as chivalrous heroes, or manifest themselves in various ways in front of people…
But for Mao Nanbei at the age of one hundred – this is delicious, that is also delicious, everything is delicious!
After the meal, the second senior sister and the third senior brother were the first ones to leave.
Ji Li and Lin Chan followed Gu Xiaoman, looking back three times after every step they took.
They also wanted to be with Lu Xun, but their power didn’t allow it.
Having Lu Xun take them down for training was not prudent. Thus, this arrangement was more appropriate.
After everybody had left, the master turned to Lu Xun and said, “Little Five, when I need your help, I will come to you.”
Mao Nanbei was completely confused, she could not understand why the powerful master needed the help of the little junior brother.
However, Lu Xun knew that the master was referring to the “Primordial Power” inside his body.
If the master came looking for Lu Xun, it must mean that the time was right. He would be preparing to debate with the Foreign Race Spirits.
“I understand.” Lu Xun answered, bowing respectfully.
The master nodded and waved his hand, saying, “Go ahead and descend the mountain.”
Lu Xun took out a paper crane. He rode on the paper crane, and Mao Nanbei rode on him. Thus, the man and cat departed from the back mountain in such a manner.
On the way, Mao Nanbei, who was sitting on Lu Xun’s shoulder asked, “Little junior brother, are we going directly to Three Thousand Mountains?”
“Fourth senior sister, I need to make a detour to the Treasury Pavilion first, to purchase some items.” Lu Xun responded with a smile.
Although he had a plethora of skills suitable for players in his Skill Bar, he still wanted to buy some additional ones.
The only reason was that his pockets were bulging.
Before the third senior brother left, he gave Lu Xun another Storage Ring. Moreover, it contained as much as 100,000 Spirit Stones!
The third senior brother thought simply, “Now that the little junior brother has become a great cultivator, the things he needs must be getting much more advanced. This means it will be more costly. I should give him plenty.”
Lu Xun had never expected that his increase in cultivation base would result in more pocket money!
During their journey, he specifically asked Mao Nanbei about this. And it turned out that the same thing used to happen to her. After improving her cultivation base, the third senior brother gave her more and more.
“With a senior brother like him, which junior brother wouldn’t work hard in his cultivation?” Lu Xun mused.
He suddenly felt that the third senior brother and Shen Yan were two extremes!
The paper crane kept flying ahead, halfway through, it passed the first major city within the Demon Sect area, Qingling City.
This city had many of Lu Xun’s memories. He couldn’t help but look down from above.
Strangely, the Qingling City was still there, but there was almost no one inside the city!
This city used to be the most prosperous and busiest city in the Eastern Region, with countless people living in it. This city was also the birthplace of Lin Chan, and there was the Old Fu Tavern, where her grandfather used to work.
But now, the city of Qingling was like a ghost town.
“Fourth senior sister, did something major happen in the Eastern Region during my absence? Why is Qingling City deserted?” Lu Xun asked.
“Ah? I don’t know either.” Mao Nanbei was just as clueless.
Lu Xun knew he was asking the wrong person, he said, “Let’s go down and check.”
With that, he controlled the paper crane to land within Qingling City.
