There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 119: (Main Storyline Task Appears)

Translator: 549690339

Lu Xun stood at the entrance of the cave and gestured into the air with his hand, feeling no resistance at all — the barrier had been broken by him.

Some things, once broken, stay broken.

Of course, they could call on their highly skilled Third Senior Brother to help mend it.

“How did it break?” Lu Xun was somewhat speechless.

After some thought, it was probably because Third Senior Brother didn’t anticipate that Lu Xun had already grasped the Sword Intent when he set up the barrier.

He had estimated Lu Xun’s strength, thinking that once Lu Xun reached the Initial Realm first layer, combined with the destructive power of the Five Elements Sword Formation, they could just break the barrier.

But he didn’t expect that Lu Xun, without having upgraded the Ancient Five Elements Formation yet, relying solely on the power of Sword Intent, immediately broke the barrier!

Although it seemed powerful, it was somewhat embarrassing for Lu Xun.

He definitely wanted to leave – staying here didn’t make much sense, was he supposed to spend his days browsing the forum?

Well, that didn’t seem too bad.

However, if he didn’t go out, it would be more difficult to gain Experience Points.

But the awkward part was, the task assigned by the master wasn’t completed yet, he hadn’t successfully upgraded the Ancient Five Elements Formation. If he left, it would naturally be considered as a task failure.

“I can’t bear to lose 10,000 Experience Points,” Lu Xun mused.

So, he drew a straight line on the ground, confining himself within it, which in essence was a makeshift prison.

Unfortunately, upgrading the Ancient Five Elements Formation one level is equivalent to upgrading five smaller formations simultaneously, requiring 10,000 Experience Points. Lu Xun didn’t have enough, with only little over

6,000 currently.

The reward for the second stage of the Prestige Value Task was clearly not enough.

The third stage of the Prestige Value Task had also been unlocked, with a requirement to reach 10,000 Prestige Value. The reward was 150,000 Experience Points and one Random Special Attribute Point.

Although the task reward was generous, it actually became more difficult to gain Prestige Value later on.

Simply put, people had gotten used to his dominance, and unless he went above and beyond each time, people would gradually become unimpressed, finding it boring and lacking surprise.

Of course, you could earn Prestige Value by doing daily tasks for the Sect, but Lu Xun didn’t want to take the ordinary player’s path, which was too tiresome and laborious.

As it stood, his Prestige Value remained at 5233, inching up every now and then, but the increase had slowed significantly.

He was still far from completing the next task, making the Prestige Value Tasks unreliable for now.

“It seems I need to develop some new tasks,” Lu Xun stroked his chin, thinking,

“Third Senior Brother should be a good choice.”

“Little Chan should also be an option.”

At the top of the mountain behind, in the Small Study.

Third Senior Brother intended to rest.

Before resting, he sensed an anomaly in the cave, his dark face lighting up with a kindly smile, “Little Junior Brother must be using my barrier for practice, how clever.”

“But with Little Junior Brother’s current strength, absolutely incapable of breaking my barrier until he gains insight into the Ancient Five Elements Formation…”

His soliloquy was interrupted when Zhuge Lai Fu abruptly sat up from his bed, his face expressing surprise.

“It’s broken!”

“Little Junior Brother has actually grasped the Sword Intent? I underestimated him.” Zhuge Lai Fu looked out the window towards the cave and chuckled.

For him, this new “Little Junior Brother” that the master took in was indeed full of surprises every day!

Zhuge Lai Fu didn’t realize that right now the master was standing by the window, looking towards the cave and nodding in satisfaction.

As for Lu Xun exhibiting the Sword Intent, he wasn’t surprised at all, or rather, he knew very well that Lu Xun had understood the Sword Intent, having seen right through it all.

He nodded in satisfaction now as Lu Xun, although having broken the barrier, chose not to leave but continue his cultivation.

From the master’s perspective, this meant that Lu Xun had indeed taken his words to heart, choosing to make progress with the formation before leaving.

Well, he is obedient after all.

And so, an unsettled night passed.

The next day, as always, Lin Chan arrived early with her little bamboo basket outside the cave to bring breakfast to Lu Xun.

As she walked into the cave, she noticed a slender line on the ground, unsure of why her master had drawn it.

After putting down the bamboo basket, Lin Chan took out a pair of chopsticks, setting them on the stone surface, followed by a small pot of steaming vegetable and lean meat porridge.

Yesterday it was sweet porridge, today it was salty.

Unfortunately, it seemed that the only thing highlighted on Little Mute’s culinary skill tree was congee preparation. Everything else was quite basic.

“Did you break through last night?” Lu Xun glanced at Lin Chan and asked.

Lin Chan nodded. Before sleeping last night, she had practiced a Grand Circulation, and mysteriously had another breakthrough.

So far, she had not felt that the path of cultivation was difficult.

In the secular world, those who tell stories always like to call the path of cultivation as the Heavenly Road, stating how difficult it is, filled with hardships and danger along the way.

But now, Lin Chan felt that cultivation was a very comfortable thing, able to cure her strange disease, sleep well, and cultivation seemed quite simple.

“It’s only been a short time for her to practice, how is she already at the fourth level of the Qi Consumption Technique? Even with Enlightenment at 9, it shouldn’t be this fast, ” said Lu Xun in his heart.

However, thinking carefully, among all the world protagonists, Lin Chan was the latest to start cultivating, yet her cultivation base did not seem lower than the others, she was growing incredibly fast!

“Last time Elder E said that Xiao Ran is already at the Great Perfection of the Initial Realm, equivalent to reaching level 20. Little Chan is so far behind her but still catching up, it’s miraculous.”

Although he didn’t understand why this happened, it wasn’t a bad thing.

Having his disciple grow up quickly and become his right-hand man! By then, Lin Chan might be able to help Lu Xun.

From the current progress, It shouldn’t take long for Little Lin Chan to step into the Initial Realm, which surprisingly pressured Lu Xun.

After all, being surpassed by his own disciple in terms of cultivation base would definitely be embarrassing.

After finishing the porridge, the third senior brother, Zhuge Lai Fu, who should have only arrived at noon appeared early at the cave entrance.

First, he glanced at the line at the cave entrance, feeling it was somehow defining a boundary. He smiled slightly, “The master told me to set up a barrier at the entrance, which seems a bit redundant now.”

“Third Senior Brother.” Lu Xun immediately greeted. After all, last night he had unintentionally broken the barrier set up by the third senior brother. Perhaps he came early to repair the barrier.

Lu Xun looked at Zhuge Lai Fu and asked, “Why did Third Senior Brother come early today? Did you come to mend the barrier?”

Third Senior Brother waved his hand and said, “No need, the Master said, once you make progress in the Ancient Five Elements Formation, you can leave the barrier on your own.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun couldn’t help but feel warmth in his heart, “Sure enough, the master only appears to be harsh and disdainful on the surface, but in reality, he cares a lot about me. I made progress so quickly; he must be surprised and happy, right?”

“It’s a pity that there weren’t enough experience points, otherwise last night, I could’ve given the master a double surprise!” Lu Xun felt a little regretful.

At this moment, Zhuge Lai Fu looked at Lin Chan and said, “I’m here now to take Little Lin Chan to the Hidden Mountain ‘

“So soon?” Lu Xun was stunned.

Hadn’t it been only a few days since Lin Chan arrived at the Demon Sect, and now she’s going to challenge the Hidden Mountain?

Zhuge Lai Fu nodded and said, “The Master said that it’s going to be New Year soon, so all the necessary hassle should be finished within these few days.” Right, the New Year was coming soon.

Lu Xun looked at the cave entrance and realized that he would soon be celebrating his first New Year in the Heavenly Dust Continent.

“Time really does fly!” Lu Xun exclaimed.

He walked over to Lin Chan, gently patted her on the shoulder, and said, “Go, follow your third master to the Hidden Mountain.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a prompt popped up in front him, he had triggered a mission!

there’s indeed a lot to extract from the disciple!

And what surprised him even more was that the mission he triggered this time was actually a main quest!

This was the first main quest Lu Xun had triggered since his transmigration!

The task was called [Guide].

(ps: My eye got inflamed and as if that wasn’t enough, I caught a cold today.

The second update will come but it will be a bit late, please forgive me..)
