Chapter 86: 086, [Turtle’s Longevity]

Indeed, things turned out as Lu Xun predicted, at least, half of the major guilds and professional clubs sent private messages to MO Guanji’s forum account.

They all extended an olive branch to MO Guanji.

Whether to cultivate him or to use him to get close to the Purple Palace, they wanted him under their charge first!

The guilds and clubs were all competitive. If another guild or club secured MO Guanji, it would mean they had fallen far behind!

Who could have predicted that such an important link would appear in this internal testing phase.

What’s even more surprising is that MO Guanji, a rather ordinary lucky player, not even well-known, has turned out to be an important figure.

Unfortunately, all his private messages were temporarily buried under an avalanche of information.

MO Guanji’s account was inundated with messages. Since he uploaded the video, his backend was bombed with countless messages!

He directly turned off the message alerts on his dashboard, otherwise, the constant notifications would drive him crazy!

The most important thing is, what kind of person is MO Guanji?

In his opinion, the most important thing is the gaming experience!

With all the noise, he wouldn’t be able to focus on the game!

So, he decided to focus on the internal testing first. After it’s over, he plans to browse the private messages, and hopes to solve his 20-year single life problem with them!

Yes, as an ordinary player, MO Guanji’s biggest ambition is why he didn’t bother thinking about anything else. His main ambition is to leave his single lifestyle behind.

Having played Heavenly Dust, he didn’t even want to touch any other games. The waiting period for the public test will be incredibly difficult; he needs a girlfriend to enrich his life.

Just thinking about it made MO Guanji burst into a goofy grin.

On the other hand, Lu Xun had returned to Qingling City.

The city, which is said to have been built on the shell of a mystic turtle, is home to many turtles.

Just like when he first entered, the turtles would lower their heads as a sign of respect when they saw him and would not move until he was far away.

Lu Xun was puzzled about this since his charisma level of 10 should have no effect on turtles, right?

But he couldn’t figure out why. He couldn’t communicate with a small little turtle, could he?

He didn’t understand turtle language.

Lu Xun walked around the city without rushing to the Lai Fu Restaurant. He ambled around looking to see if there were any new players in the city.

It was expected that many players would enter Qingling City these days, but it wasn’t easy to encounter them among the crowd.

Instead, as Lu Xun was walking, he unconsciously wandered into a small alley. The alley was run-down and messy, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

At the end of the alley, there was a dried well. The area around the well was covered with fallen leaves and the well was entwined with black and green vines.

Lu Xun slowly walked towards the well and looked down but couldn’t see the bottom.

This was the place known as “Turtle’s Longevity”.

The Trial Ground known as “Turtle’s Longevity”, established by the Demon Sect in Qingling City, is famous throughout the world of cultivators. Every year, a small number of cultivators come here to gain experience.

Why is this place famous yet only a small number of cultivators visit? Isn’t it because the “entrance fee” is too expensive!

The world of cultivators, sometimes, can be rather disappointing.

The dry well in front of Lu Xun was the entrance to “Turtle’s Longevity”. If you jump in, you would reach the Trial Ground.

This seemingly small well is pitch black, and nothing can be seen clearly, but it conceals a world of its own within!

Of course, there is a Demon Sect disciple guarding the entrance to the trial ground of “Turtle’s Longevity”, and there is probably a powerful guardian inside. Without money, outsiders are not allowed in.

If it wasn’t for the internal testing phase of Heavenly Dust now, Lu Xun would definitely jump right into this dungeon.

In Heavenly Dust, clearing dungeons comes with a lot of rewards, especially experience points, which are often abundant!

After all, these trial grounds are designed for people to gain insight during the trials. For players, this “realization” is synonymous with gaining experience points to level up!

In his previous life, Lu Xun, who played “Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero”, did not have the chance to experience “Turtle’s Longevity”. Each major sect has its own trial grounds. Lu Xun certainly didn’t visit all, especially because… the entrance fee was expensive!

This time, he could give it a shot. Once the internal testing is over, he plans to come and challenge it.

After taking another glance into the well, Lu Xun left the alley.

“I guess it’s time to go back to the restaurant and get some food,” Lu Xun thought to himself.

Upon returning to Lai Fu Restaurant, as soon as Lu Xun stepped in, the waiter came forward to greet him, “Immortal Master, you’re back!” Lu Xun nodded and ordered, “Prepare some food for the backyard.”

The waiter hurriedly nodded, not daring to slack off.

He was a non-combatant affiliated with the Demon Sect, a mortal who worked for them in exchange for protection. He had been working in Qingling City for a while and had seen many disciples of the Demon Sect, but it was the first time he had seen someone as handsome and as extraordinary as Lu Xun.

In his eyes, Lu Xun did not seem to be an ordinary disciple. His status in the Demon Sect shouldn’t be low… he should at least be an Inner Sect Disciple!

After entering the backyard, Lu Xun saw Murong Yan instructing Ji Li in her cultivation, specifically in swordsmanship.

This chubby fellow seemed to be fond of Ji Li and often gave her special attention.

Although Murong Yan was at the bottom among the Inner Sect Disciples of the Demon Sect, guiding Ji Li at her current level was more than enough for him. “Young Elder.” Both of them bowed to Lu Xun. Lu Xun nodded and asked, “Have you eaten yet?”

“We have.” The two women replied.

“Alright.” Lu Xun sat down on the stone bench. After a busy trip out, he was indeed a little hungry.

Seeing Lu Xun present, Ji Li’s face tensed up. When she listened to Murong Yan’s instructions, she was incredibly serious. When practicing swordsmanship, she was especially focused, fearing she might make a fool of herself and ruin her image in Lu Xun’s eyes.

Of course, she didn’t know that in Lu Xun’s mind… she didn’t really have any particular image.

“Ji Li has seemed to become more dedicated in her cultivation recently,” Lu Xun thought, “Did she get stimulated by something?”

No matter what, being dedicated to cultivation is a good thing. Ji Li has outstanding talent for cultivation; if she can keep this up, she is bound to achieve something in the future.

After a while, the waiter came in with the food, followed by a thin figure carrying a bamboo basket.

After carefully arranging the food and utensils on the stone table, the waiter excused himself. The thin figure seemed a little timid and followed suit, although his salute was a bit awkward.

Lu Xun merely glanced at them, but when his gaze landed on the thin figure, he couldn’t help but stare.
