However, Lu Xun chastised himself immediately for having such thoughts.

“Complaining about free stuff? How is that any different from those readers who watch pirated versions first and then bash the official versions?!”

Lu Xun shook his head, lifting his gaze again to study the painting.

The painted ink bamboo could just about pass for bamboo, I suppose.

However, the bamboo painted by a master would even evoke the rhythms of the bamboo, creating an artistic conception, but the conception of the painting in front of him is sword intent!

Lu Xun stared at the painting for a while, trying to reveal its basic information.

Suddenly, a prompt popped up before him:

“[A painting bought by the Sword Mountain Elder for 2 Wen on the side of the road, into which he casually infused his Sword Intent.]”

Lu Xun:

Didn’t Ping Shanhai say that this was drawn by the Sword Mountain Elder to commemorate his four greatest rivals in his later years?

Turns out, legends can’t always be trusted.

But to think about it, it’s quite bizarre that these four great rivals coincidentally represent the four noble plants plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum.

On the contrary, it would’ve been easier to find such a theme in a brothel…

This secret hadn’t been seen on the forum before, probably because the players didn’t have a high enough level of access, and couldn’t extract as much basic information with their detection abilities as Lu Xun.

But Lu Xun wasn’t clear about what determined these levels of access.

More precisely, no one had ever figured out this during gaming.

Anyway, when there’s something to look at, just look at it. If there isn’t, then forget about it.

Just consider it as pixelation.

In conclusion, the Sword Mountain Elder had just casually purchased these four paintings and simulated four different Sword Intents.

“His taste is really not that great. Why did he only pick ugly ones?” Lu Xun wasn’t being sarcastic, just simply wondering.

After all, if he had painted it himself, it would’ve been just a matter of ability.

But this kind of painting that’s specifically bought to show to successors represents a problem of aesthetic judgment.

As Lu Xun mused, he waited for the judgment from the gaming system.

Just like how he had, under Shen Yan’s guidance, glanced at the Sword Qi hidden in the Demon Sect Receiving Peak and gained 1 point of Swordsmanship Aptitude.

At this moment, what he could gain relied on the system’s judgment.

This felt a bit like taking a lucky draw.

After all, the final rewards different players received from their “enlightenment” here varied.

As everybody knows, the thrill of a lucky draw is the most intoxicating part of gaming.

Players both love and hate this setting.

At the moment, Lu Xun was in good spirits.

He knew his Swordsmanship Aptitude, which was as high as 6 points, already exceeded the maximum limit that he could obtain from observing this painting.

Anyway, taking whatever comes, not being picky and having a good appetite was the way!

The next moment, a basic info prompt appeared in front of him.

“Ding! You’ve obtained a special item: Sword Intent booster effect.”

“Use times: 1/1.”

Looking at the prompt, Lu Xun thought: “Huh, it turns out they gave a one-time special item.”

However, upon closer thought, it made sense. Given my current level in swordsmanship, how could the system let me improve so easily?

This one-time special item, on the other hand, is the most suitable reward.

Lu Xun clicked on claim, and then checked it out.

“Sword Intent Booster effect: Bamboo.”

“Level: 30.”

“Grade: Minor Completion of Sword Intent.”

“When used, it can be attached to the Sword Qi.”

“It can be used in combination with one’s own Sword Intent.”

After reading the description, Lu Xun felt that this was a pretty decent reward, definitely something he could use as a trump card!

The point that it could be used in conjunction with his own Sword Intent was certainly great.

The combined power of two Sword Intents would most assuredly be terrifying.

It’s equivalent to having an item that could save your life.

Its effect was similar to the Sword Qi that his second senior sister had given him, though not as terrifying in terms of power.

After getting the reward, Lu Xun left the secret room.

To his surprise, Ping Shanhai was still waiting outside.

Seeing that Lu Xun came out so soon, he asked, “Brother Lu, did you find something worthwhile?”

As a naturally born Sword Embryo, having sudden epiphanies was a common occurrence for Lu Xun, so he simply nodded earnestly and said, “Even though I didn’t spend too much time observing, I gained much insight. I need some time to digest.”

He always remembered to stay in character, playing the role of a naturally born Sword Embryo well.

After spending another night in the bamboo house of One Sword Mountain, Lu Xun and Ji Li prepared to leave.

I have to get out of here, Ye Sui’an is way too clingy!

This guy always finds ridiculous excuses to come find me at the Welcoming Guest Peak, and once he sits down, he refuses to leave.

Apart from that, Lu Xun had important tasks to complete, so he felt that it was best to leave One Sword Mountain early.

Don’t forget, he’s already level 30 and it’s time to do the level-up quest.

Upon completing the level-up quest, he would receive a 10% general improvement. Considering Lu Xun’s current basic attributes, that would be a leap!

10% of a rich man’s wealth is a fortune!

When Lu Xun announced his impending departure, Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi didn’t try to keep him. However, Ye Sui’an was visibly reluctant to let him go.

Little Junior Brother, where did you get the misconception that we are kindred spirits?

Lu Xun just couldn’t understand.

When he led Ji Li to fly away from Welcoming Guest Peak, Ye Sui’an, dressed in green, remained at the head of the mountain watching Lu Xun’s departing figure for quite a while.

Aboard the paper crane, Ji Li asked Lu Xun, “Lu Xun, where are we going now?”

Lu Xun said, “I have something to do first. After I’m done, I will take you to the Moon in the Well for the trial.”

“Okay.” Ji Li nodded vigorously, without asking more.

She knew that Lu Xun had many secrets and often did strange things, but she didn’t probe.

As long as Lu Xun was willing to take her along, that was all that mattered.

She was afraid that Lu Xun would find her troublesome, that she was interfering with his work, and wouldn’t keep her by his side.

Not long after their paper crane flew away from One Sword Mountain, they met two cultivators flying on their own treasures.

The treasures these two cultivators used for flying were incredibly high-end, exuding an aura of quiet wealth and deep substance. Amazingly, they looked exactly like my paper crane!

Lu Xun stopped the paper crane, and the other party also stopped theirs.

Upon the head of the opposing paper crane, a human figure jumped up.

She appeared to be around seven or eight years old, cherubic, with a pair of bells on her wrists.

Of course, the most eye-catching part of her was her pair of black cat ears.

Next to her was a graceful, restrained, and quiet young girl.

“Little Junior Brother!” Mao Nanbei looked delighted and called out loudly.

Lu Xun was puzzled: What are Fourth Senior Sister and Little Chan doing here?

Ji Li was even more confused.

Has our… our alone time… ended?

She looked up, spotting the lively Mao Nanbei and the pleased Lin Chan.

It had been quite a while since Ji Li last saw Lin Chan.

Looking at the now utterly different Lin Chan, a thought bubbled up in Ji Li’s heart:

“She… she has become so beautiful…”

Thank you “Lemon” for the reward, +1 to Alliance Hierarch)
