Chapter 316: 316, Never thought you would be like this ‘Heavenly Dust’

In the end, Lu Xun chose not to cross the tribulation outside Lotus Village.

The reason was simple: he was worried that something unexpected might happen.

As long as he claimed the mission reward within 24 hours, there would be plenty of time left.

First, he took out the paper crane and prepared to head to the nearest Treasury Pavilion with the two young girls and cat-eared loli.

In every Treasury Pavilion, there was a shop called “Seven Stars”, which openly sold magical weapons but was in reality a communication point for the seven major sects. If there were any important matters, it could relay the message.

Lu Xun intended to go there to notify the two sword sects and ask them to protect Lotus Village.

And incidentally, take the blame for himself.

Before leaving, Lu Xun entered the village and came to Ah Bao’s home.

After some thought, he left some silver taels on the wooden table.

Not too much, but it should be enough to cover the living expenses of the mother and son for several years.

He didn’t leave too much because it could invite trouble.

Though in the eyes of others, it was a gift from an Immortal, it was still safer to be cautious.

After finishing these arrangements, he commanded the paper crane and flew towards the Treasury Pavilion.

Along the way, Mao Nanbei asked curiously, “Little Junior Brother, why are we going to the Treasury Pavilion?”

Lu Xun replied, “I have some affairs to take care of and need to notify the two major sword sects. As for you guys… consider it a shopping trip.”

Having said that, he asked, “Fourth Senior Sister, do you have any spirit stones? If not, I have…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Mao Nanbei.

She took out a storage ring and waved it in front of Lu Xun, bragging, “Third Senior Brother gave me this before we descended the mountain, hehe!”

Well then, he was planning to be generous and treat the girls to a shopping spree, but it turned out Third Senior Brother had already made arrangements.

No wonder he is a penniless Talisman Emperor Demon.

Mao Nanbei put the storage ring back, patted her own chest, and said to Lin Chan and Ji Li, “If you see anything you like later on, just let me know. I’ll buy it for you!”

Such a domineering spirit.

But from this, it can be seen that Mao Nanbei is still a naive child who is only a hundred years old.

If it was Lu Xun, he would definitely say he had no spirit stones whether he had it or not.

The nearest Treasury Pavilion was not far from Lotus Village, and they arrived after about two hours.

Lu Xun took out a bamboo hat from his storage ring and put it on, then split into two groups with the three ladies and headed towards “Seven Stars” shop.

Upon entering the store, he immediately showed his Demon Sect token, which only had the character “One” on it, but it represented his special status in the Demon Sect’s backyard.

The shopkeeper immediately welcomed Lu Xun into a private room and bowed respectfully.

Lu Xun cut to the chase, saying, “Please inform Sword Mountain’s chief disciple, Ye Sui’an, of the evil spirits in Lotus Village. I’ve dealt with them, but I’d be grateful if he could send men to provide protection to the village.”

“Alright, I’ll inform him right away,” replied the shopkeeper.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xun said, “Wait.”

“What else would you like to instruct, sir?” asked the shopkeeper.

“Please tell him that my surname is Lu, and also, please keep this matter quiet,” said Lu Xun.

“Understood.”

Lu Xun nodded his head, said no more, and then got up to leave.

He acknowledged his identity to make One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain pay more attention.

In other words, to make Ye Sui’an pay more attention.

If Ye Sui’an knew it was Elder Lu’s matter, he would definitely do his utmost to help.

Since Lu Xun said to keep it quiet, he should understand.

Elder Lu was renowned for his integrity and always kept a low profile.

Although he did good deeds, he did not want his name left behind. He was a model for us sword cultivators.

In that case, we would discretely assign someone to guard the village.

I will do whatever Elder Lu asks me to do.jpg.

As long as his identity was not exposed, Lu Xun didn’t mind.

As for the protection of the village, it was something that should be done by the two major sword sects.

Lu Xun had assisted in solving the problem of the altar; the chain reaction that followed naturally required the two major sword sects to address.

Since the two major sword sects were based in West State, enjoying the power and resources of the entire state, they also had a responsibility to maintain its peace.

More precisely, it was a rule.

A rule that all the cultivation factions in the Heavenly Dust Continent abided by.

Just like the Demon Sect was located in the Eastern Region, whenever trouble arose in the Eastern Region, the Demon Sect would naturally have to be the first to respond.

The cultivators of the Heavenly Dust Continent, were always very humble.

When they obtained resources, they didn’t regard this as tribute from the mortals, but rather as an employment relationship.

If you want us to take the resources, then we are your bodyguards, it’s as simple as that.

Lu Xun remembered very clearly that when he crossed over, the foreign invasion was already in the late stage.

A great war broke out in West State. The foreign race wanted to enter a great city – it seemed like the city contained something they needed.

The sword cultivators stationed inside the great city blocked the gates, dying outside the city.

The scene was recorded and posted on the forum.

The deacon sword cultivator of the great city let out a roar that pierced the sky:

“West State, draw your swords!”

In an instant, countless sword cultivators drew their swords, their sword Qi like rainbows.

Hearing this made Lu Xun’s scalp tingle!

Seeing this made Lu Xun’s scalp tingle!

And under this video post, the comment with the highest number of likes.

“If the sky is to collapse, naturally it’s us mountaintop people who will hold it up first.”

Those on the mountain, are known as Immortals.

After they left the Treasury Pavilion, Lu Xun was surprised to find that Mao Nanbei and the two girls didn’t buy anything practical either, each of them simply bought a beautiful fairy dress.

Before they could ask him, Lu Xun praised: “Beautiful!”

Truth be told, it really was beautiful.

Three differing styles, each uniquely charming.

It was impossible to choose only one.

“Hey, we bought an outfit for you too.” Mao Nanbei opened her storage ring and took out a black cloak.

The cloak was not much different from the one Lu Xun was wearing, except for golden patterns at the cuff. The details emphasized its luxuriousness.

“Not bad, who chose this?” asked Lu Xun.

Ji Li placed her hands behind her back, gently rocking on her toes, and winked at Lu Xun.

“Good choice.” Lu Xun complimented.

Such a simple sentence, probably could make her happy for a whole day.

He took over the black cloak, immediately took off his outer robe, put it on, and said, “Then I will wear it and go for realm transcendence.”

“Ah? Little Junior Brother, didn’t you just finish your closed-door cultivation?” Mao Nanbei asked.

“Fourth Senior Sister, I can’t help it. I feel that I had many understandings.” Lu Xun said with a smile, “I should be breaking through to the Third Realm.”

“Ah? Then let’s go, I’ll help guard you.” Mao Nanbei said.

Then, they flew away to a desolate hill and found a secluded place for Lu Xun to concentrate on his breakthrough.

On the way, Lu Xun asked Mao Nanbei if she had crossed the tribulation when she broke through to the Sixth Realm.

Mao Nanbei told him proudly, “Of course I crossed the tribulation! But your Fourth Senior Sister is so awesome, isn’t crossing a tribulation just a piece of cake?”

She was so proud that a pair of cat ears stood up straight. If she still had a cat tail, it might even be curled up.

Lu Xun only smiled and did not speak.

After finding a relatively clean spot, Lu Xun cleaned up simply using the Dust Removal Technique, then sat cross-legged and opened his character panel.

He first clicked to submit the advancement task, and then clicked to upgrade.

The next moment, the surrounding spiritual energy immediately became chaotic.

An energy vortex formed, rushing toward Lu Xun.

This was the Third Realm tribulation, he had to withstand the baptism of spiritual energy.

Mao Nanbei stood at a distance, expecting Little Junior Brother to have a difficult time.

Because the stronger your strength, the harder the tribulation. When she had broken through to the Third Realm, it was a flurry, and that dreadful spiritual energy vortex even caused her to shed a lot of cat hair!

Mao Nanbei, with an eager-to-watch expression, invited Ji Li and Lin Chan to come enjoy the show.

However, when the spiritual energy vortex began to gather around Lu Xun, he suddenly opened his eyes and gave a wave of his black robe.

Then, he directly claimed the reward for the advancement task.

In that instant, under the flick of this sleeve, a mysterious ripple emanated from him spreading out to the surroundings, instantly shattering the spiritual energy vortex!

The wild energy vortex turned into tiny pure spiritual energy with golden glow, quickly following into Lu Xun’s body…

Effortlessly.
