The next day, Lu Xun woke up in a cold sweat from his bed, once again enveloped in sword intent during the night.
After being tormented for more than half a month, Lu Xun even felt used to it.
First, he opened the forum to check the time on Earth, then approximately converted it, and calculated that there were only five days left until the beta players arrive.
“It’s almost time to go down the mountain,” Lu Xun thought to himself.
After having breakfast with his two senior sisters in the bamboo forest, Shen Yan came to the back mountain, holding a small red pearl in his hand.
Lu Xun glanced at it, and the basic information of the pearl emerged in his mind. This thing was called a Life Orb. You drip a drop of fresh blood into it, and if the person dies, it would turn from red to black. He didn’t know how it worked, but it was quite intriguing.
Generally, all inner sect disciples of large sects would be equipped with one, allowing the sect to have some understanding of their safety situation.
After all, anything could happen when going down the mountain to gain experience; no one could predict it.
The reason why only inner sect disciples were equipped with it was that this thing was, indeed, very precious and could not be provided to everyone.
Shen Yan made a special trip here because he heard that Lu Xun wanted to descend the mountain, so he came over with a Life Orb.
“The young elder only needs to drip a drop of blood on the pearl, ” Shen Yan said, placing the pearl in his palm.
Lu Xun nodded, directly bit his finger, and then dripped a few drops of fresh blood on it.
Soon, the Life Orb changed from a bright red color to a deep red color. It seemed like there was some sort of connection in the dark.
Lu Xun looked at the Life Orb, curious about the reaction of the Life Orb if he used up another resurrection chance.
He had never encountered a Life Orb in his previous life when playing games. The reason is simple: massive players arrived and then tried their best to join various sects. Initially, only the number of outer sect disciples increased rapidly, but as time went by, players gradually grew into inner sect disciples, and there were not enough Life Orbs to go around!
The arrival of the players would soon cause a huge impact on various aspects of the Heavenly Dust Continent!
After all, the players also have a nickname – the Fourth Catastrophe!
After getting the Life Orb matter settled, Shen Yan safely stored the Life Orb, which would be placed together with other people’s Life Orbs in due course.
He thought for a while and then asked Lu Xun, “Young elder, do you need someone to accompany you on this trip down the mountain?”
Given his status, even if he wanted an Outer Sect elder to accompany him down the mountain as a bodyguard, it was possible.
However, after some contemplation, Lu Xun said, “Just assign a low-profile inner sect disciple to accompany me down the mountain.”
The reason he needed someone to accompany him was that he still couldn’t fly with the aid of tools, which was particularly troublesome, so he needed a “driver”.
Although the elders of the Demon Sect were powerful, they were all well-known. When they went on a journey down the mountain, it was easy to be recognized by cultivators from other sects, which might reveal his identity.
The news of the master adding another disciple had already spread in the cultivation world.
Even though Lu Xun had done nothing, his name had already been widely spread in the cultivation world, and he had a certain degree of fame.
It’s a pity that he had only activated the “Demon Sect Reputation Value” task so far, and did not trigger the “Heavenly Dust Continent Reputation Value” task. The latter’s threshold was too high, and he was not eligible to trigger it yet.
In the rumors from the outside world, Lu Xun had several symbolic tags, among which the most representative one was – he was incredibly handsome.
Although he was probably the only one in the whole world with a charm value at max, those who had not seen him could not associate him with the young elder of the Demon Sect just by looking at him.
But if a very handsome man was followed by an elder of the Demon Sect, his identity would almost certainly be confirmed.
He didn’t want to go down the mountain in the identity of the young elder of the Demon Sect, even less so to interact with players under this identity, although the beta players might not be able to learn about these rumors.
But it doesn’t matter to find a low-profile inner sect disciple. Some disciples who have just entered the inner sect for a short time are basically unknown in the cultivation world.
Unless his cultivation base was especially profound and one could tell at a glance that Lu Xun and the accompanying inner sect disciple were practising the cultivation technique of the Demon Sect, it would be hard to see through his identity.
As for his safety issues… everyone has to grow up! Besides, with a super-thug perpetually by his side, the game would deem it to be “if low-grade missions are triggered, they are too easy and won’t be initiated,” by then even accumulating experience points would be difficult!
Seeing Lu Xun’s plea, Shen Yan nodded, thinking that this arrangement was acceptable, and told Lu Xun: “Alright, I’ll sort things out with the Young Elder right now.”
He vanished in the blink of an eye, presumably off to pick someone.
“I wonder who the lucky one is to become my temporary driver?” Lu Xun pondered.
Due to his unique status, the person accompanying him down the mountain would undoubtedly be rewarded by the Sect, making it highly desirable.
Since he is ready to leave the mountain, Lu Xun prepared to bid his second sister and Mao Nanbei farewell.
Mao Nanbei was not in the Small Study, and he guessed that she may be in the bamboo forest, so he sauntered off.
On a large rock, second sisterhood was petting a cat.
Mao Nanbei had transformed into a tiny black cat, perched on the long legs covered by the second sister’s Daoist robe.
Her eyes narrowed into a slit, tranquilly relishing the comfort of the second sister’s fingers stroking her fur.
Mao Nanbei seemed to sense that Lu Xun was approaching the bamboo forest, her ears flickered, and she jolted her body, immediately breaking free from the second sister’s embrace, and reverted back to human form.
In front of Lu Xun, she was still conscious about maintaining her image. Being petted like a regular cat in front of her junior brother made her feel a little demeaned.
The second sister could easily see through Mao Nanbei’s little schemes, she sent her a mind-blowing attack from a distance, striking her forehead with a wave of energy.
By the time Lu Xun walked into the bamboo forest, the second sister was still sitting on the rock, while Mao Nanbei stood with her hands behind her back, gazing skywards, affectedly brooding.
After he coughed, he told them, “I came to bid farewell to you two sisters, as I’m leaving the mountain today.”
“Ah? Doesn’t that mean no one will be cooking tonight?” Mao Nanbei blurted out.
Lu Xun:
Mao Nanbei blushed a bit, realizing that her initial reaction to the younger brother going on a journey was the lack of a cook.
The young girl coughed a few times, and regally said: “Little Junior Brother, your descent represents the Demon Sect Mountain. Don’t disgrace it.”
Lu Xun twitched at the corner of his mouth, thinking: “I don’t seem to have the valour of lopping off your head with one swing like you do!”
Indeed, after Mao Nanbei finished speaking, she received another mind-blowing attack from the second sister.
Second sister sat on the rock, as tight-lipped as ever, only whispering: “Come…come back soon.”
Feeling warmth in his heart, Lu Xun cheerfully responded: “Yes! I got it.”
After chatting with his two sisters a bit more, Lu Xun got up to leave. After taking just two steps, he was stopped by Mao Nanbei.
“Lu Nun!” she called him by his name.
“Hmm, I’m listening,” responded Lu Xun.
Mao Nanbei shouted at him: “I was just messing around earlier, if you think you can win, fight. If you can’t, run. Don’t worry about losing face, got it?”
She continued to shout: “At worst…at worst, come back and tell fourth sister, fourth sister will take revenge for you!”
After saying this, her pair of cat ears stood straight up, she even waved her fist in the air, and the bell on her wrist tinkled clearly.
A delightful sound.
