There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 309:Hehe, so this is how to use a pearl

After dinner, Mao Nanbei touched his tiny, round belly and asked, “Little Junior Brother, when are you planning to return to the Demon Sect?”

Upon hearing this, Ji Li immediately perked up her ears.

Even though their private world had been destroyed, she at least was still at Lu Xun’s side.

If they returned to the Demon Sect, she wouldn’t be able to get to the back mountain.

If Lu Xun didn’t come to find her, it would be difficult to see him even once.

Lu Xun smiled and said, “I still have some things to take care of. After they’re dealt with, I have to accompany Ji Li to the [Moon in the Well].”

Ji Li felt delighted at these words. She didn’t know why, but the word “accompany” sounded so comforting to her.

“Oh, it’s the place where only Sword Cultivators can perform trials.” Mao Nanbei nodded, then stood up, lifted her tiny chin, and smugly asked Lu Xun:

“Little Junior Brother, do you notice anything different about me?”

“Hmm?” Lu Xun looked at Mao Nanbei with slight confusion, even making comparison gestures. “Have you grown taller?”

Mao Nanbei’s pride instantly diminished. Her previously upright cat ears slightly drooped. If only she could have grown taller, that would have been great…

The reason why she couldn’t grow taller was linked to the secret of her species.

Mao Nanbei blurted out, “I made a breakthrough!”

Turned out, Mao Nanbei, who had always been stuck at the fifth stage peak, recently advanced to the sixth stage.

She had made rapid progress in terms of strength, but unfortunately it did little to increase her height.

“The first level of the Sixth Stage, equivalent to Level 61, has already surpassed the level limit of players from when I first crossed over.” Lu Xun contemplated.

Although the level cap would definitely increase with updates to the game version, Lu Xun had only played up to level 60 and hadn’t yet experienced what it felt like to be in the sixth stage.

After sitting back down, Mao Nanbei casually said, “Hey! If we encounter the situation from Three Thousand Mountains again, your Fourth Senior Sister will cover you.”

Lu Xun chuckled to himself. He hadn’t expected the little girl to still remember the initial battle with the foreign race, Bai Beiqiu, where Lu Xun was almost defeated. Luckily, he had the Sword Qi given by Second Senior Sister, which quickly defeated the enemy and, in the process, flattened the mountain hiding the altar.

Today’s Mao Nanbei might still be far from Second Senior Sister, but she was already considered a powerful figure in the Cultivation World.

It felt strangely satisfying, as if his own pet had leveled up again.

Mao Nanbei’s improvement in strength was naturally good news for him as well.

The advancement task was not easy to complete, so he needed Mao Nanbei’s help.

As the night went deeper, it was time for cultivation.

Mao Nanbei and Ji Li both closed their eyes and sat cross-legged, running their spiritual energy through their bodies.

But Lin Chan walked softly to Lu Xun’s side.

“What’s up?” Lu Xun asked.

Lin Chan wrote on his palm, “Master, do you need my help for cultivation tonight?”

Lu Xun was taken aback, not expecting his beloved disciple to ask this.

He hadn’t done much practice with the Sword Cultivating Technique lately, so he didn’t have much energy left in his body.

But seeing Lin Chan’s eyes full of anticipation, Lu Xun didn’t turn her down.

Seeing Master had agreed, a smile immediately appeared on Lin Chan’s face. It seemed for her, being able to serve Master in his cultivation was the most satisfying thing in the world.

After sitting cross-legged, their four palms pressed together.

Lin Chan started executing the Sword Cultivating Technique, nourishing Lu Xun’s body.

At this time, she was certain. It wasn’t her imagination. Master had really become stronger!

Able to transmute from an Intermediate Spiritual Sword to a Superior Spirit Sword, how could he not become stronger?

“Master is advancing so quickly.” Lin Chan thought to herself.

The feeling of their four hands pressed tightly together made her sink more deeply into it.

It was like she wasn’t touching hands, but the hilt of an unparalleled sword!

Moreover, this kind of practice could also benefit Master… This was a double spiritual pleasure!

Little Chan was more and more engrossed.

Half an hour later, Lu Xun, who had been nourished by his beloved disciple, looked at his character panel. The progress displayed was [Superior Spirit Sword: 2.97%].

The progress was still slow, but the accumulation day by day brought significant changes.

Most importantly, he could feel a profound connection between him and Little Chan.

It was an indescribable feeling.

Initially, he felt this connection being faint and elusive. But as the number of teacher-student dual cultivations increased, this spiritual connection became much clearer.

Lu Xun didn’t know if this was a good sign or not. He thought of asking his teacher after returning to the sect.

He hoped he wouldn’t stray off the path.

Lin Chan, however, didn’t think too much. From any perspective, she couldn’t wait to practice every night.

Thousands of times, all for her master.

The next day, after everyone finished breakfast, Lu Xun took control of the paper crane and flew south to the western state with the three girls.

Despite the vastness of the West State, finding Lotus Village was a piece of cake to Lu Xun, who possessed the Map Function.

Inviting them for private matters didn’t burden Lu Xun that much.

A mute, a simpleton, a lolita…all were easy to deceive!

According to the map, Lu Xun noticed that they were only about ten miles away from Lotus Village.

But at this moment, Lu Xun suddenly felt a bit dizzy.

Something flashed through his consciousness.

It was a familiar aura, much like the mysterious pearl he absorbed from the Foreign Race Altar.

However, the pearl had a strong aura, but the aura he detected now was very weak.

A message prompt popped up before him quickly.

“[You have detected a Foreign Race target, target Level 34.]”

It also gave a location.

“Why?” Lu Xun controlled his facial expression, so they wouldn’t see his current emotional state.

He didn’t understand why he could sense the existence of the Foreign Race.

He hadn’t detected anything before.

Either when meeting Bai Beiqiu, dealing with the female Foreign Race exterminated by his third senior brother outside Qingling City, or the one at Tianque Gate, he did not receive this kind of alert or information.

When he played “Heavenly Dust” in his previous life, players didn’t possess such long-range detection function. They could only identify Foreign Races by their [red name] and shown [Faction] upon encountering them.

Lu Xun tried flying in the opposite direction, but after not long, the sense disappeared.

“It seems there’s a distance limit,” he thought to himself.

But what’s the reason?

He began to analyze.

If he had anything to do with the Foreign Race, it would just be the Primordial Power.

This one Special Attribute Point was the attribute he gained after devouring that mysterious bead from the Foreign Race Altar.

And indeed, he had absorbed the pearl after encountering these Foreign Race beings.

As his [Faction] was [Heavenly Dust Continent], which was an opposing [Faction] to the Foreign Race, he was unable to use this one special attribute.

Meaning, it didn’t bring much enhancement to Lu Xun’s individual strength.

But now, it wasn’t completely useless!

This mysterious pearl should be the core item of the Foreign Race Altar, equivalent to having a power similar to the altar within Lu Xun!

It just had been sealed.

And the Foreign Race beings, who were all teleported from the altar, naturally brought a little altar’s aura with them…

“Damn! So, am I a walking Foreign Race detector now?” Lu Xun was startled.
