There's Something Wrong With This Account

Lu Xun had not expected that his little disciple would present him with such a life-saving item.

Moreover, from Lin Chan’s demeanor and actions, it was clear that she insisted on offering it.

Now, Lin Chan had come to realize that her beautiful master’s Cultivation Base was not as high as she had thought.

Master had only recently broken through to the Initial Realm, and in the world of cultivators, he was far from being a master.

Therefore, she felt that her master also needed this kind of life-saving treasure, and surely it could be of use to him.

His life, in her eyes, was certainly more valuable than hers…

So she decided to give the pendant to Lu Xun.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Xun accepted the pendant and said, “Then, I will accept it.”

At this moment, Lin Chan was delighted in her heart.

But only a few seconds later, Lu Xun held her little hand and said to her, “Hold out your hand.”

Lin Chan obediently held out her palm, and then watched as Lu Xun placed the three blackish-red pearls on it.

Lu Xun gave her a gentle smile and said, “Little Chan, you have given me Elder Gui’s token of goodwill. Aren’t you afraid that Elder Gui will be heartbroken when he finds out?”

Speaking of which, he continued: “But it’s your first time giving me a gift, Little Chan. It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t accept it.”

Having said that, he opened his palm, revealing a black string in it.

The three pearls hanging on the pendant had been detached by Lu Xun, leaving only the string.

He threaded the black string through his belt, then tied a secure knot, attaching it to the belt of his black robe. He gently adjusted it, tidying it up, and keeping it symmetrical and secure.

“Alright, I’ve accepted your gift, but these three pearls are for you. Keep them safe.” He said, while looking down at the black thread attached to his belt, “This is a thread of Seven Stars Black Silkworm silk, very precious and rather nice looking.”

“Furthermore, it is the first gift that Little Chan has given to her Master, and I, as her Master, will keep it safe.” His smile was full of contentment.

The only disappointment he had was that returning the three pearls to Lin Chan did not trigger the ‘Guide Mission’.

If such a gift could trigger mission rewards, it would be easy to exploit and cheat the system – much to his disappointment.

Couldn’t this well-designed game have a few more bugs?

However, on second thought… he seemed to be the biggest bug in the game.

At this moment, Lin Chan held the three pearls in her hand, unsure of what to do.

After thinking for a while, she took two of them from her palm, and was about to hand them to Lu Xun, but he stopped her.

Lin Chan then put one pearl back and handed just one to Lu Xun, but Lu Xun stopped her again, finding the situation both amusing and exasperating.

What a stubborn little mute!

In his view, he should play the role of a Master!

It was one thing not to have treasures for his disciple, but taking her life-saving item was too much.

Moreover, being one of the world protagonists, Lin Chan might face numerous hardships and obstacles throughout her life’s journey, and so, he could absolutely not take a single one of her pearls.

Knowing that his disciple had this heartfelt feeling was enough for Lu Xun.

Moreover, he had several chances to resurrect himself, so his life was not without protection.

Seeing that master had made up his mind, Little Mute had no choice but to tuck the three pearls away close to her body.

Before leaving, she took a look at the black thread tied to Lu Xun’s belt. Although her master had not accepted the pearls, she felt a strange surge of emotions bubble up inside her.

She felt a bit shy, quite satisfied, and somewhat happy.

After Lin Chan left, Lu Xun sat on a rock, playing with the black silkworm thread tied to his belt with his fingers.

“After all, I did raise a little sister, I definitely know how to deal with young girls.” He smirked to himself.

After gloating for a while, he opened the task interface and began to collect his task rewards one by one.

First, he received the reward for teaching the ‘Sword Cultivating Technique’. “[Ding! You have received a reward of 30,000 Experience Points.]”

“[Ding! You have received a Beginner Skill Level Upgrade Coupon (Purple Level) X1.]”

“[Ding! You have received Intermediate Skill Level Upgrade Coupons (Blue

Level) x3.]”

Seeing the task rewards, Lu Xun had a delighted expression on his face.

Such good stuff!

While 30,000 experience points wasn’t a lot, the real treasures were the four Skill Upgrade Coupons!

This game was indeed quirky. The more items it gave, the less experience points it offered. But the rewards this time were truly satisfying.

The purple beginner upgrade coupon could raise a level 3 or below purple level skill by one level.

The blue intermediate upgrade coupons could raise a level 6 or below blue level skill by one level.

If used now, Lu Xun could save 10,000 experience points and upgrade the ‘Ancient Five Elements Formation’ to level 1.

But unless absolutely necessary, he certainly wouldn’t squander it in such a way.

Why not save it for when he is going from level 2 to level 3? Wouldn’t that be more rewarding?

By then, the experience points required for leveling up would be even higher!

Of course, these three blue intermediate skill level upgrade coupons could also be used for other lower level skills.

For example, a blue coupon could be used on a yellow level skill… it’s just that no one would waste it like that.

“When I think about it, I don’t currently have any skills that are below purple level,” said Lu Xun to himself.

“Oh, I’m mistaken! I don’t have any blue or yellow level skills, but I do have a grey level skill, the ‘Eagle’s Claw’, yet… it doesn’t seem to be immediately useful.” He almost forgot about the dexterous ‘Eagle’s Claw’.

Lu Xun considered, “Now that I’ve entered the Initial Realm, maybe it’s time to find an opportunity to learn some more skills.”

After putting the four Skill Level Upgrade Coupons into his storage ring, Lu Xun began to collect the second task reward: a large gift package.

Upon making his selection and receiving the reward, a series of system prompts appeared.

“[Ding! You have received a reward of 50,000 Experience Points]”

Just with experience points alone, he had received a full 20,000 more than when he taught the ‘Sword Cultivating Technique’!

“[Ding! You have received 3 Blue Level Equipment Duplication Runes]” “[Ding! You have received 5 Blue Level Equipment Repair Runes]”

I’ve struck it rich

A skill upgrade can only increase by one level, but Equipment Duplication Runes can replicate a full piece of equipment!

If it were like his previous life, he could use this to duplicate his large rod or his ‘First Encounter’!

This is equivalent to being rewarded with three pieces of Blue Equipment!

As for the five repair runes, they can restore the ‘Durability’ of equipment, essentially repairing damaged equipment back to normal.

Lu Xun looked at the Repair Rune and immediately thought of Lin Chan’s broken sword.

“The broken sword is now of Superior Blue Level, I wonder whether this Repair Rune would work on it?” Lu Xun pondered in his heart.
