The gates of [Ghost’s Grief] slowly opened, and Lin Chan was quickly transported into the Trial Ground.
Ye Sui’an seemed very talkative, to the point of seeking a conversation out of nothing, continuously fishing for topics, just to chat with Lu Xun a bit more.
After all, Lu Xun was a person who lived through the age of mass information. No matter the subject, he could blabber on, but in a very polite manner.
Opening his heart was out of the question; he was just getting by with his small talk.
Ye Sui’an considered himself well-read since childhood. In order to keep the awkward conversation going, he talked about everything under the sun, from geography to astronomy, and Lu Xun responded adeptly to all of it (forcefully making stuff up). Many of his answers were quite novel for Ye Sui’an.
I never thought that Elder Lu would be so erudite!
He felt that the image of Elder Lu was gradually becoming rich in his heart!
“Is this guy a natural chatterbox? Why does he talk so much?” Lu Xun pondered.
In his memory, wasn’t Ye Sui’an very aloof?
He was not sure if it was his own illusion, but Lu Xun felt that Ye Sui’an’s gaze was very passionate, and he even felt like he was being fawned over.
Could it be? One of the supposed World Protagonists is essentially a brown-noser?
“Why isn’t Little Chan out yet? I really want to go in and cool down,” Lu Xun thought.
Time passed by minute by minute, and probably after an hour, Lin Chan’s figure was finally transported out.
Her little face was slightly pale; it was clear that her experience inside the Trial Ground was not that great, not an experience one would want to recall.
Lu Xun hurriedly stepped forward and tenderly asked his precious apprentice, “Were you a bit scared?”
Lin Chan looked up at her master, and although a little shy, she nodded honestly.
She was naturally timid. After entering the Cultivation World, she had seen many bizarre sights which had increased her courage a bit, but it was still limited.
However, Lin Chan was clearly growing rapidly, and it wouldn’t be long before she could stand on her own.
[Ghost’s Grief] was indeed the most eerie among all dungeons in “Heavenly Dust”. Many players regarded it as a haunted house because in it…
—there truly were ghosts!
Lu Xun didn’t really care, weren’t they just mobile packages of experience points?
In fact, if you look closely, the pitch-black lumps were quite cute.
“Demon Sect, Lin Chan, Rank Ninety-Seven,” Snake Elder’s gloomy voice echoed from a distance.
“She made it on the list. Not bad at all,” Lu Xun said with a smile.
Lin Chan’s Cultivation Base was still shallow, not yet at the Initial Realm.
This was not a novice dungeon, so even this achievement was impressive.
At this moment, Lin Chan was holding Lu Xun’s hand, quickly writing in his palm with her finger, trying her best to describe the contents of [Ghost’s Grief].
Halfway through her description, Lu Xun stopped her by holding her writing finger, indicating that she didn’t need to write anymore.
“Don’t worry, your master will not lose to him,” Lu Xun bent down and whispered softly into Lin Chan’s ear.
After speaking, he said to Mao Nanbei near him: “Fourth sister, take care of Little Chan when I’m not here.”
“Okay!” Mao Nanbei instinctively agreed.
It was only after answering that she began to wonder: “With such tight security here, what could go wrong?”
Apart from Ye Sui’an, everyone else belongs to my Demon Sect.
Lu Xun glanced at Lin Chan, cast a look at Ye Sui’an, and then began to walk toward the gate, determined to get it over quickly.
If that Scum Man Ye dare to lay a finger on my Little Chan while I’m gone, I’ll show him!
The moment he stepped towards the gate, a prompt message appeared before his eyes.
“[Do you want to enter the dungeon Ghost’s Grief?]”
Lu Xun decisively selected[Yes].
The next moment, his figure flashed and he was transported into the dungeon.
The temperature inside the [Ghost’s Grief] was noticeably cooler than outside, creating a chilly atmosphere.
As with [Turtle’s Longevity], the dungeon prohibited players from bringing in equipment.
After all, there’s a world of difference between a good one and a poor equipment.
Lu Xun places the sword sheath and storage ring down and says, “Behave, I’ll be back soon.”
The black strap on the sword sheath gently rubs the back of Lu Xun’s hand, “Understood, whimper~”
Lu Xun adjusts his black robe and then takes a step forward.
In an instant, the scene changes, “Zing~” A huge copper mirror after another bursts out of the ground, standing haphazardly in front of Lu Xun.
Lu Xun’s divine sense probes around; there are a total of 81 two-meter-high copper mirrors.
They may seem irregularly arranged, but they carry a deep meaning.
And within these mirrors are ghosts!
Inside [Ghost’s Grief] is a large Yin gathering array that can condense yin qi into ghosts.
When a ghost is killed, it disperses back into Yin qi, and then is gathered again.
The law of energy conservation…
In the outside world, when a ghost is killed, the yin qi and ghost qi will be consumed. Lu Xun doesn’t know what it turns into, but it’s definitely not lossless.
However, within [Ghost’s Grief], this is possible.
Thus, batches of ghosts are recycled.
Well, it’s quite energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
Here, the ghosts are considered recyclable waste.
From his memory, the first level has 81 copper mirrors and three ghosts are hidden in the mirrors, ready to attack at any moment.
[Ghost’s Grief] tests the cultivator’s strength of divine sense and their ability to deal with emergency situations.
With the bonus of 3 points of [Spiritual Power], Lu Xun’s Divine Sense is much stronger than cultivators of the same realm, naturally sharp.
“Here.” Lu Xun lightly flicks his finger, and a sword qi flies out.
The sword qi is quite flexible and can even turn corners, accurately penetrating the copper mirror targeted by Lu Xun, piercing it directly!
A black stream of qi rises from the copper mirror, the ghost hidden within the mirror is dead.
“Ghosts are all Black Silly, they have no tactics and are not flexible.” As Lu Xun thinks, he shoots out two more sword qi.
He doesn’t plan on waiting for the ghosts to attack, directly killing them off before they have the chance to strike.
Killing ghosts in [Ghost’s Grief] also rewards experience points, each ghost gives 666 points of experience, the same as in the outside world.
After piercing through the three copper mirrors, Lu Xun strolls forward, walks directly out of the first level, and is transported to the second level.
“Zing~!”
A total of 320 copper mirrors burst from the ground, and the number of ghosts hidden in the mirrors has risen to 20!
20 ghosts, let alone randomly hidden in mirrors, even if they attacked directly, the average Initial Realm Cultivator would be overwhelmed.
Lu Xun folds his fingers together, and finger-tip sword qi is generated just like that.
He starts spinning around the bunch of copper mirrors.
Whenever a ghost crawled out from the mirror, he would raise his hand full of sword qi without looking back and slay it.
The ghost’s face, slightly hideous just out of the mirror, is cleanly eradicated by Lu Xun’s sword qi!
“I already sense where they are hiding.”
None of the ghosts can launch a surprise attack on him because he pinpointed their hiding spots long ago.
Another ghost pops out from a copper mirror, this time Lu Xun puts a little too much force and splits the copper mirror in half along with it.
All this while, he gazes straight ahead, without turning his head, without shifting his gaze to the copper mirrors, he just looks ahead, only ahead!
320 copper mirrors, 20 ghosts, none of them can force him to glance back!
He just stares at the path ahead while swinging his finger-tip sword qi.
Walk and slash.
Never stopping his steps.
