There's Something Wrong With This Account

The mute old man moved too slowly, spending a few more seconds just patting Lu Xun’s shoulder back and forth.

Lu Xun checked the buff (beneficial effect) he had received, named: [Blessing], with a duration of 3 hours.

The basic information it provided was: [Luck Value +1].

Lu Xun:

Despite his long time playing in his previous life, this was the first time he had ever encountered an increase in luck value!

The luck value was the only special attribute in the entire game of “Heavenly Dust” that could not be improved, and everyone had [Luck Value 1].

Of course, the players had long reached a consensus: On the surface, everyone had a luck value of 1, but in reality, Emperor Eu was still Emperor Eu, and the unlucky ones were still unlucky.

The three words [Luck Value 1] written in the game were just a facade, and what was hidden underneath was the real attribute value.

After receiving the buff, Lu Xun felt even more that the old man in front of him was definitely more powerful than he had imagined.

What kind of special existence could it be to increase a player’s Luck Value?

“Could this old man be the legendary… Lucky Koi?” Lu Xun pondered in his heart.

It was plausible that the Koi was an enlightened spirit and had transformed into a human form.

Having thought of this, his train of thought began to go astray again: “It’s a pity that the little girl isn’t a lucky cat.”

After bestowing Lu Xun with a blessing, the old man smiled at him.

Lu Xun deliberately glanced at Shen Yan, whose expression was as usual. He wasn’t sure whether Shen Yan didn’t see the profound meaning in the old man’s actions, or he knew it and chose not to mention it.

If it was the former, that would be quite frightening.

Shen Yan was a powerful eighth realm player. If someone performed a secret method in front of him without him noticing, how strong would that person be?

Knowing that he had received a great bargain, Lu Xun bowed to the mute old man once again.

The old man smiled at him again, his smile was very warm, really just like a seasoned butler who had watched the young master grow up at home.

However… even his smile was particularly slow, the corners of his mouth rose much slower than others.

After a while, the mute old man leisurely raised the cane in his hand and gently tapped it on the ground.

A semi-transparent ripple spread across the ground, and when it touched Hidden Mountain, a flash of non-dazzling white light passed by.

Lu Xun watched in disbelief as a light curtain appeared in front of him, then opened like curtains on both sides.

It turned out that this cane was the key to the entrance of Hidden Mountain!

However, when playing the game before, why hadn’t he heard Demon Sect players mention the mute old man in the forum?

Perhaps when players visited Hidden Mountain, the old man was in the wooden house and had never come out to greet them.

After taking a deep breath, Lu Xun walked towards the light curtain under the watchful eyes of the mute old man and Shen Yan, officially starting his climb up the mountain!

After Lu Xun entered the light curtain, the old man tapped the ground lightly with his cane again, and the light curtain closed once more.

He nodded at Shen Yan, then turned around and slowly entered the house.

Shen Yan did not stay long at the foot of the mountain and went directly back to the main peak of the Demon Sect, where the other Peak Masters were waiting for him.

This group of old spectators gathered together again, all secretly paying attention to Lu Xun.

Yue Heshan started making his preparations again, and after dragging the conversation on for a while, he said: “Shall we place a bet on what rank of Magical Weapon our junior master will end up getting?”

Since the Charitable Gambling King was giving away his wealth again, how could Shen Yan and the other Peak Masters refuse his kind offer?

And so started a new round of gambling for the senior members of the Demon Sect.

On the other hand, Lu Xun, who had officially started climbing, was moving very slowly.

Not because he was admiring the surrounding scenery, but because he really couldn’t move fast.

This mountain was very special and seemed to restrict human movement. The fastest speed could only be maintained at the speed of ordinary people’s walk.

If that was the case, then he really began to observe his surroundings.

There was a misty fog on the mountain, preventing one from seeing what was in the distance.

But if he were to look back, he could clearly see where he had come from.

In other words, the only unknown was the path ahead.

Interestingly, when playing “Heavenly Dust” in his previous life, Lu Xun had climbed Sword Tomb, but never Hidden Mountain.

It was his first time visiting Hidden Mountain, so he found it very fresh.

In the forum, he had read some related posts, so he knew the basic rules of climbing, as well as the general situation on the mountain.

Hidden Mountain was both a treasure trove and a graveyard.

The only difference was that the graveyard was on the other side of the mountain, and the path he was on now led to magical weapons.

All the magical weapons were ranked according to their grades; the higher one climbed, the higher the grade of the magical weapons.

At the top of the mountain was the world-famous sword left behind by the eldest martial brother—[The Sword Qi is Near]!

This ranking was based purely on the grade of the magical weapons themselves, regardless of the strength and status of their original owners.

Those who climbed the mountain, if they were chosen by a magical weapon, would receive a reaction from it.

At that point, it would be time for the climber to make a decision.

If he chose this magical weapon, everything that followed would be irrelevant. He would get the magical weapon and then be teleported back down the mountain.

If he chose to continue climbing, then the magical weapon that had previously extended an olive branch to him would be irrelevant and there would be no chance to choose it again!

In other words, there might be something better waiting for you above, but it is also possible that after you pass up the current magical weapon, you will end up with nothing!

These rules were somewhat perverse, but they inexplicably elicited a sense of excitement and thrill!

Because it felt more like a high-stakes gamble!

Once the arrow is fired, there is no turning back!

In his previous life, Lu Xun saw countless Demon Sect players’ posts on the forum. At first, there were some fairly decent magical weapons that responded, but they were greedy and wanted better ones, so they continued to climb the mountain to try their luck. As a result, the high-grade magical weapons on the mountain didn’t give them any attention at all!

“You mustn’t be greedy!” They wrote these words while shedding tears.

Their only consolation was… walking up to the top of the mountain empty-handed and taking a glimpse at the famous The Sword Qi is Near, before being teleported back down the mountain.

“96, 97, 98.” Lu Xun counted as he climbed, and when he reached 98, he stopped.

Because the post said that after climbing the mountain, the official start was at the 99th step.

In other words, one more step forward would be the area of some low-grade magic artifacts!

That’s where all the lower-grade magic artifacts (Yellow Outfits) gathered.

After pausing for a few seconds, Lu Xun smiled and moved forward.

As soon as he took a step, the surrounding fog disappeared instantly, and he saw several irregularly distributed lower-grade magic artifacts.

There were magic artifacts of all shapes and sizes, he even saw Blood Drops…

And at the moment he stepped on this step, while the other magic artifacts didn’t react, all the Magical Swords in the field began to vibrate violently!

Back at the main peak, Shen Yan and the other Peak Masters immediately became restless. Shen Yan, with his screaming chicken-like voice, shouted loudly:

“Natural Sword Embryo! This is a Natural Sword Embryo!”
