There’s Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 454: 454, 【Holy Sacrifice】
Lu Xun, at level 51, stood at the top of the Contribution Points leaderboard, causing a wave of astonishment among the players.

“The Purple Palace has become a Great Cultivator then!”

“This breakthrough was so quick! It really backs up what the disciples of the Demon Sect were boasting about: our Young Elder breaks through like it’s eating and drinking!”

“Damn, a player leveling up from level 46 to 51 would require almost ten million Experience Points, right?”

And the most excited among the players were Lu Xun’s Sword-Serving Children.

When they saw some players speculating that the Purple Palace had been knocked out, they were utterly baffled.

Although they were Sword-Serving Children with a nominal connection to the Purple Palace, they were really not even Disciples. They didn’t even have the privilege to call him Master; they still had to call Lu Xun “Young Elder.”

Therefore, in the Master-Disciple System, they didn’t actually establish any precise Master-Disciple relationship with Lu Xun, and his status and activities wouldn’t be displayed on their interface.

On the other hand, their six names were displayed on Lu Xun’s interface, listed in the corner under “Disciples” and categorized as “Servants.”

If someone mentioned that the Purple Palace had been knocked out, they would definitely not believe it, but suggesting that the Purple Palace had suddenly broken through four small realms and one large realm, they felt it exceeded their understanding.

But as it turned out, there’s nothing that the Purple Palace can’t do that we can imagine!

“The golden leg is still there, good stuff!” was the thought among the people.

And this golden leg seems to have gotten thicker and stronger!

In the field of young cultivators, the Purple Palace should be an invincible entity by now, right?

Of course, for now, it seemed that they couldn’t cling to this golden leg anymore.

After running all the way to the West State to meet the Purple Palace, he disappeared again.

At present, they had no idea where Lu Xun was.

“Sword-Serving Children have no status,” they sighed inwardly.

Professional players like Cai Jiangjiang, who were ambitious, instantly made up their minds, flicked the twin-ponytail steering wheel on her head, and decided:

“Since Sword-Serving Children have no status, I’ll work hard to get some!”

All right then!

…

…

Central Continent, at an unknown location.

The numbness in Lu Xun’s body had completely disappeared, and he had a general understanding of the new Five Elements Spiritual Power within him.

He left his room and went across to the other room to check on Ji Li and Lin Chan’s condition.

“They’re still engrossed in the sea of books, and they’ve even immersed themselves in them!” Lu Xun was surprised.

He could see that Lin Chan and Ji Li were currently in a state of meditation and were gaining enlightenment.

Once they completed their comprehension, they should be able to make a breakthrough.

With so many Jade Simplicities laid out here, they could only absorb a part of them at this moment. This was a priceless treasure that would benefit them for a lifetime!

As they were deeply immersed, they didn’t hear Lu Xun’s footsteps, and were fully focused on their enlightenment.

At this moment, if one were to gently pat them or pinch them, they probably wouldn’t even react.

So…

“Does that mean… when I made such a big commotion next door, making a grand breakthrough to become a Great Cultivator, they didn’t even feel it?” Lu Xun felt regretful; he cared a lot about his image in the eyes of the two girls.

Oh well, he missed an opportunity to showcase his powers.

Since Ji Li and Lin Chan were meditating, Lu Xun did not disturb them.

He left the cabin and came back into the courtyard, breathing in the fresh air, his entire body feeling refreshed.

“Tap! Tap! Tap!”

To Lu Xun’s left, there came a series of tapping sounds.

Lu Xun turned his head and saw that the noise was coming from the teapot on the stone table.

The lid of the teapot would occasionally lift off and then fall back, naturally producing the tapping sound, just like water boiling.

The spout of the teapot was pointed at Lu Xun, watching him, it seemed.

“Are you mad?” Lu Xun turned his head and asked with a smile.

He didn’t expect that the teapot would display such sentience; his breakthrough had actually been sensed by it.

The teapot’s response was to lift its lid even higher.

“Heh, thank goodness it’s trapped on the stone table, unable to move too far away. Judging by its demeanor, if it wasn’t restrained, it probably would’ve spat me out of its spout in anger,” Lu Xun pondered in his heart.

A gentle smile was on his face, and he attempted to make it as infectious as possible. He spoke up, “Don’t be so stingy!”

The teapot turned around, with its back facing him, in a huff.

This man’s response was as good as admitting that he was just acting before!

He actually admitted… admitted… admitted…

Lu Xun stretched lazily, in no mood to provoke the teapot anymore. After some thought, he decided to leave the small courtyard for a chat with the man outside.

He went to the wooden gate and pushed it open gently with both hands.

He was relieved at this, for he was worried that he would have to announce his arrival as he went in and his departure as he went out, saying something like “Uncle Master, your nephew is here to visit,” or “Uncle Master, your nephew has to leave.”

After all, the man should be standing outside at this moment…

As expected, as soon as Lu Xun pushed open the wooden gate, he saw the man in a plain white robe.

“Did you come out?” The man asked indifferently, his gaze still not resting on Lu Xun.

Lu Xun nodded, stepping out of the courtyard, replying, “Ji Li and Little Chan are still in deep meditation, I was worried that I would disturb them, so I came out first.”

It felt as if he had handed in his exam paper early.

The man nodded in acknowledgment without uttering a word and continued to look up at the sky, letting the wind rustle his long hair and the corners of his clothes. He presented Lu Xun with a side profile that he thought was very suave.

Lu Xun, who was no longer a newcomer to the mountain, had a clear understanding of the man’s temperament by now.

The man was perfect in many ways, but he was too narcissistic and arrogant. Moreover, Lu Xun could sense that the man was not fond of his matchless good looks.

“Hmm, to put it simply, he is jealous of my beauty!”

He was curious at this moment, “I wonder what my uncle master looks like?”

Harbouring this thought, Lu Xun cast another glance at the man.

The man was not very tall, and his body wasn’t particularly slender either.

Although he loved to pose, but unfortunately, he was just simply plain-looking.

“Although Uncle master and the man are blood brothers, similar features can create completely different effects,” Lu Xun thought. He had seen plenty of twins who had similar facial features, but varied greatly in terms of their looks.

“Speaking of which… Uncle master has been so generous, I’d love to meet him,” Lu Xun, holding this thought, planned to get some information about his uncle master from the man.

With that, he asked, “Sir, this is Uncle master’s residence, why hasn’t Uncle master appeared?”

The man surprisingly turned his head to look at him and asked, “Do you want to meet him?”

Lu Xun nodded, making no effort to hide his intentions.

He could tell that these two old fellows, as childish as they were, always referring to one another as “my brother”, must have a close relationship.

After all, for them, they were the only relatives they had left in this world.

The man went quiet for a moment, then said indifferently, “Do you have any alcohol?”

Lu Xun was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and asked, “Will ordinary spiritual wine do?”

He did have some wine in his storage ring, but none of them were of top quality. They were all given to him by the goofy players when he was teaching skills as the alias, The White Emperor.

He sold most of the spiritual wine in the Lai Fu Restaurant, but he also kept a few jars for himself.

The man nodded and said, “As long as there is wine, it’s fine. This drunkard isn’t picky in this regard.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun’s initial impression of his uncle master morphed once again.

He always found his uncle master to be a very contradictory individual.

He should be good at making tea, as he had a teapot on his stone table. But the man called him a drunkard.

His handwriting was beautiful, but the sword skills he created were so dominant and fierce!

Even though he made significant contributions to the cultivation world and could have easily been considered holy, he did not seek fame or profit. He didn’t even have his name spread outside. But in reality, he was extremely childish and had been competing with the man for many years about who was superior.

“Uncle master really is a strange one,” Lu Xun mused.

Lu Xun originally thought that the man would fly him somewhere, however, the man simply led the way at a leisurely pace.

Before long, they arrived at a location on the hill.

Lu Xun looked ahead and was taken aback.

Because what he saw was a small tomb.
