Chapter 298: Has that inner taste (requests for monthly pass)
Ji Li looked at the bright moon in Lu Xun’s palm and listened to his words until her ears turned bright red.
If this were an ani, her face might even be steaming.
anwhile, the joy in her heart was about to overflow.
A simple sentence and a simple action from Lu Xun were enough to fill her heart.
She tentatively stretched out her small hand and lightly poked it, then swiftly pulled back as if shocked by electricity, before poking it lightly again.
This cyan-blue crescent moon transford from the Sword Mark was an illusion, so when Ji Li’s finger touched it, it twisted slightly.
Her smile was radiant, her eyes full of light.
For unknown reasons, Lu Xun found that Little Li’zi at this mont was brighter than the bright moon in his palm!
Watching from the side, Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi sighed in unison, “It’s good to be young.”
These two old bachelors reminisced about their ti as young cultivators.
Back then, they were na?ve and only had swords in their hearts.
Can a sword accompany you for a lifeti?
Indeed, it can …
They’ve remained single ever since.
Although the Sword Mark belongs to their two Sword Sects, after all, Lu Xun helped Ye Sui’an make a breakthrough, which was considered returning the favor.
Others paid to borrow our Sword Mark to foster their relationships, so there was no need to say more.
After all, poking it a few tis wouldn’t break it.
Watching the scene before him, Ye Sui’an couldn’t help feeling a touch of envy.
This was a Sword Mark left by an ancestor, and he actually wanted to touch it.
However, he said nothing, maintaining his dignity.
After playing with the moon in his hand for a while, Lu Xun thought about returning the Sword Mark to the well.
He turned his head and asked, “Do I just put the Sword Mark into it?”
Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi were both taken aback.
They did not know how to answer this question at the mont.
From ancient tis till now, only you have been able to take it out of the well, no one else can do this.
However, after the two sword dao masters carefully felt it, they discovered the connection between the well and the bright moon and pointed out, “Just put it in the middle.”
Lu Xun slowly lowered his hand, put the bright moon into the well, and a light flashed. It instantly rged back into it.
A faint cyan-blue mark appeared on Lu Xun’s palm. It was the pass to the entrance of the [Moon in the Well].
After passing two assessnts, he could enter and exit the [Moon in the Well].
Those like Ping Shanhai who did not have a mark on their hands needed a special token to enter, otherwise, it would trigger the restrictions at the entrance.
“Let’s go in then.” Ping Shanhai said.
They led the way for their guest, and Lu Xun and Ji Li followed them into the well.
Upon entering the passageway, Lu Xun’s only thought was, “It really is a dry well.”
The passageway did not have the moist feeling he had imagined.
When the teleportation ended, the darkness in front of his eyes instantly beca bright.
The [Guardian] of the [Moon in the Well] was already standing at the entrance, greeting the crowd.
He was a monster, just like Elder E in [Turtle’s Longevity] and Snake Elder in [Ghost’s Grief].
However, he was transford from the Ai grass, a monster of the plant type.
He exuded a neutral beauty, and it was unclear whether he was male or female, even his voice was the sa.
Although he looked soft and boneless, he was incredibly powerful and had many killing moves, but his temperant was more gentle.
A scholarly freak.
Of course, he exuded the unique sll of Ai grass, which Lu Xun found comforting.
Among the guardians of the dungeons, he was very popular. Players, upon learning that he was transford from Ai grass, affectionately called him – Ai Jiang!
Snake Elder was called Snake Sauce because he was too cold and the players made fun of him, playing on the contrast.
He was called Ai Jiang because the players truly liked him.
As for why Elder E was not E Sauce …
Perhaps it’s because the players didn’t mind him.
The [Guardian] chatted with Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi for a while, then curiously looked at Lu Xun and greeted him with a friendly smile.
Then, he disappeared, and no one knew where he went to rest.
With the presence of the two Sword Dao masters, there was no need for him to preside over it.
“I heard that Ai Jiang doesn’t like to talk and prefers to be alone. It seems that’s indeed the case,” Lu Xun thought to himself.
At this point, Ji Li gently tugged at Lu Xun’s sleeve again, saying, “Lu Xun, let go first this ti as well.”
She still wanted to pave the way for Lu Xun.
Lu Xun shook his head and said, “I suggest you break through to the second realm here first, then enter the Trial Ground.”
“Huh? Why?” Ji Li wondered.
She had indeed been suppressing her realm, because once she reached the second realm, she wouldn’t be able to enter the “Turtle’s Longevity”.
But now that she’s been to the “Turtle’s Longevity”, and even achieved a good result that surpassed Lu Xun, she was satisfied.
So, there was no need to forcefully suppress her realm any longer.
She just didn’t understand why it would be necessary to make the breakthrough at this mont.
After hearing this, Ping Shanhai nodded slightly and interjected:
“Lu’s suggestion is indeed sound. If you reach the next level now, you can precisely use the trial within the “Moon in the Well” to consolidate your realm. At the sa ti, your enhanced strength will enable you to go further inside, perhaps reaping even more rewards.
The most important point is, the “Moon in the Well” consus a lot of spiritual power, and it’s right after a breakthrough that cultivators feel the most spiritually abundant, making it the best ti to tackle the trial.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Li nodded repeatedly and hurriedly replied, “Thank you for your guidance, Ji Li understands.”
Ping Shanhai’s lengthy discourse fell into Ji Li’s ears and transford into a single sentence: “Lu Xun is looking out for .”
This summarization was representative-level indeed…
Therefore, Ji Li obediently prepared to make a breakthrough while Lu Xun tackled the trial.
At this point, Lu Xun was already sowhat impatient.
He had several reasons for coming to this “Moon in the Well”.
The first was to gain experience points reward, the second was to get on the leaderboards and maintain his presence in front of other players.
The third reason was the most crucial one.
If one could complete the “Moon in the Well”, they would receive a reward left behind by the founder of the Sword Mountain.
If you pass the final challenge, you’ll find a small fla that has been burning for thousands of years at the end!
This fla was known as the “Undying Fire”.
It had no heat, couldn’t cause harm to people and seed to never extinguish.
Its only purpose was to refine magical weapons for a single ti.
This refining effect could only work once for any magical weapon.
But experience has shown that even purple weapons could receive substantial upgrades once refined through it!
That was amazing.
Both One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain not only produced powerful Sword Cultivators, but also famous swords, all thanks to this “Undying Fire”!
Such a golden opportunity was definitely not sothing Lu Xun would want to miss.
This was exactly why he insisted on entering the “Moon in the Well”, even though he lacked neither experience points nor reputation.
Lu Xun slightly bowed to the crowd, then began to walk towards the entrance of the “Moon in the Well”.
“Ding! Do you want to enter the instance: Moon in the Well?”
Lu Xun chose “Yes”.
The mont he stepped into the large array, he vanished.
When he opened his eyes, he felt enveloped in complete darkness.
It wasn’t just the absence of light, it was a chaotic sensation which was hard to put into words.
This sensation felt very familiar to Lu Xun.
When he first entered the back mountain, his second senior sister subjected him to an “Enveloped in Sword Intent” experience, where for a full 30 nights, as soon as he closed his eyes, he’d find himself imrsed in endless darkness, subjected to the relentless lashing of a Sword Intent, often waking up drenched in cold sweat.
Then, he beca stronger.
Later, his eldest senior brother did the sa to him too.
Then, he got even stronger.
As such, this situation was extrely familiar to Lu Xun.
Others might be encountering it for the first ti, but he had already experienced it for 60 nights!
A regular person, suddenly plunged into an endless void of chaotic darkness, would surely feel uneasy and anxious.
But he didn’t.
This was the difference between a novice and a veteran.
At this mont, Lu Xun even had the mood to extend both his arms and take a deep breath.
Then, he muttered to himself,
“That’s more like it.”
