Chapter 153: 153, [Benefits for Players who Prepare in Advance] (Looking for Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Votes on Monday)

The next day, Lu Xun woke up early. With a hot sweet potato in hand and a paper crane under his control, he flew towards the Demon Sect’s Evergreen Peak.

Evergreen Peak was under the control of Sima Chuan, and the Demon Sect’s Transmission Tower was located on this peak. This made Sima Chuan akin to the manager of the tower.

As Lu Xun approached the Evergreen Peak, Sima Chuan sensed his presence and flew up into the sky to greet him.

“Young Elder, what brings you to Evergreen Peak today?” Sima Chuan asked with a smile.

It was Lu Xun’s first visit to Evergreen Peak. “Master Sima, I wanted to see the Transmission Tower. Afterwards, I was hoping to have a cup of hot tea at your place.

“Oh? Well, come with me, Young Elder. I’ll have to let you taste some of my treasured collection later,” Sima Chuan led Lu Xun.

The Demon Sect’s Transmission Tower was on the side of the mountain peak, right opposite the main hall of Evergreen Peak.

The Transmission Tower was entirely black…black, matte…

The tower was not very tall, with only six floors.

The first floor contained ordinary books, and starting from the second floor were various cultivation techniques and methods.

To players, these were skill and technique books.

For the Demon Sect, the Transmission Tower acted like a library, with Sima Chuan being the librarian.

The librarian was not a casual job, and many notable personalities had held the post.

Legend has it that Sima Chuan, aside from the teacher, was the person with the most techniques in the Demon Sect. Engaging him in combat was always surprising, with his endless stream of techniques.

On the level of cultivation base, he, along with Shen Yan, were both Eighth Realm powerhouses, absolutely considered top-notch.

Arriving at the Transmission Tower, the disciples on guard hurriedly saluted Lu Xun and Sima Chuan.

After getting up, they all began to sneak glances at Lu Xun.

The Young Elder usually stayed in the back mountain, it was a rare sight to see him.

Encountering the Young Elder today could serve as a great topic of conversation later.

Some disciples had only seen Lu Xun once during his inauguration ceremony into the Demon Sect, and afterward, only met him in their dreams.

Lu Xun sometimes wondered, exposing himself more to the disciples of the Demon Sect and having a few polite conversations, would that… increase his Reputation Value?

If his Reputation Value barely increases in the future, he plans to wander around the Demon Sect aimlessly, boosting his reputation by making people laugh.

Once inside the Transmission Tower, Sima Chuan asked Lu Xun, “Young Elder, do you want me to remove the restrictions inside the tower?”

Lu Xun waived his hand, “No need, I’m actually rather curious to see how far I can go.”

What a joke, breaking through the Transmission Tower could also grant Experience Points task rewards!

“Alright, I will leave the restrictions at each floor’s entrance as is, and remove the rest.” Sima Chuan laughed in agreement, then allowed Lu Xun to ascend the tower, indicating that he would wait here.

At this moment, a prompt appeared before Lu Xun.

“Ding! You’ve triggered the task: Ascend the Transmission Tower. Do you accept?”

Lu Xun decisively chose to accept the task.

For every additional floor climbed, he would gain 5000 Experience Points.

According to the Sect rules, the Transmission Tower was a taboo area, not a place where ordinary disciples could come and go freely, or where you could simply choose what you wanted to learn.

There were limits on the number of times and quantity one could visit.

Opportunities to ascend the tower were often fought for. For instance, at times the Demon Sect disciples made contributions to the Sect, and the opportunity to ascend the tower would be given as a reward.

But Lu Xun was an exception, naturally not bound by so many rules.

After all, wasn’t 80% of the techniques and methods in the Transmission Tower put in by the Teacher?

For ordinary disciples, the Transmission Tower was a taboo area, but for Lu Xun, it was nothing more than his teacher’s study.

When thought about carefully, it was pretty terrifying. Throughout history, the Great Sects were powerful and had a long lineage, boasting accumulation over generations to possess such profound knowledge.

But the Teacher was quite exaggerated. Who knows what he had done over his long life, yet he still managed to collect so many techniques and methods!

If not for the Transmission Tower serving as a foundation, the Demon Sect would not have developed so swiftly.

“Was the Teacher a part-time thief in his early years? Or was he a part-time bandit-robber?” Lu Xun wondered, unable to comprehend in his heart.

It was indeed impressive to compare one’s strength to the accumulated wisdom of countless generations of other sects.

Lu Xun ascended the wooden steps and began to walk towards the second floor.

At the entrance to the second floor, there was a semi-transparent light curtain. Only by breaking through it could one enter the second floor.

Lu Xun didn’t pause, continuing to walk upwards.

He subtly activated his Sword Heart. The small sword within it vibrated slightly, then, as if the light curtain didn’t exist, he went straight through it.

Although the Sword Heart and small sword had great effects on sword cultivators, it didn’t mean that they had no power over those outside of sword cultivation.

He walked into the second floor so effortlessly that the light curtain didn’t pose any barrier to him at all.

The second floor was filled mostly with grey quality skill and technique books, with a small amount of yellow quality ones.

Lu Xun didn’t go directly upstairs. Instead, he stretched out his right hand, placing it on the bookshelf and let his fingers touch the books.

As he walked forward, his fingers brushed over one book after another.

His actions were casual and natural.

In reality, though, a series of “Do you want to learn this?” prompts appeared before him, and he chose to learn everything.

Grey quality technique books could be learned without spending experience points, and yellow quality ones didn’t cost much, so Lu Xun directly learned two full rows and threw them into his sorted skill list.

He labeled this list as [Player Welfare].

He planned to offer these skills to new players after the public test. Of course, he would properly charge a small tuition fee.

During the novice phase, new players would have a hard time acquiring skill books. Even though many low-level skills become useless after this phase, they were still indispensable early on.

This was a business opportunity!

For Lu Xun, he didn’t wish to miss out on any growth phase of these NPCs!

He took it very seriously!

There were simply too many skill books here, so Lu Xun stopped learning after two rows. There was no need to learn too many; enough to exploit… cough, provide welfare was enough.

When others ascended the Transmission Tower, even if it was just the second floor, there was a limit. They couldn’t learn like Lu Xun, one row at a time. This was yet another significant benefit brought about by his privileged status.

Among all the books on the second floor, there was an abundance of skill books, and only one cultivation manual: the basic Qi Consumption Technique that every member of the Demon Sect had to learn.

Lu Xun didn’t stay too long on the second floor and soon began to ascend to the third floor.

At the stairway entrance, there was another semi-transparent light curtain. This curtain was much stronger than the one on the first floor.

Ordinary members of the Demon Sect probably could break this curtain when they reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Consumption Technique, granting them access to the third floor.

But for the current Lu Xun, this barrier was naturally not an obstacle.

In his series of actions, Sima Chuan, who was waiting on the first floor, couldn’t help but nod slightly, “It seems that compared to the Sword Inquiry, the Young Elder has made progress.”

Lu Xun walked forward, seemingly without any pause. When he reached the curtain, he simply lifted his right hand and pushed it up, as if casually lifting the curtain hanging in front of the door.

Just like that, he lifted a corner of the light curtain.
