Chapter 360: 360. [Who Can Resist The Charisma of A Mount?] (Seeking monthly tickets at the end of the month!)
At the outlands of the Demon Sect, a great waterfall cascaded down.

“Three thousand feet of a rushing waterfall, it seems like the Milky Way is falling from the ninth heaven. Ah, such a magnificent waterfall!” Xiao Guangming admired the waterfall and couldn’t help but exclaim.

“I admire you greatly, you’re indeed cultured, to be able to recite such a difficult poem.” Wang Gangtie, sitting next to him, stated.

“Looking at your robust figure, it’s surprising to learn you’re such a cultured Yin-Yang man,” Xiao Guangming, with a foxtail grass in his mouth, replied irritably.

By now, a lawn next to the waterfall had become a stronghold for their small group.

Li Zuole glanced at them and said, “Stop joking, did you all receive the mission from the Purple Palace?”

Cai Jiangjiang sat there, her black hair tied into two ponytails.

She played with her hair, twirling it around her fingers and said, “We’ve all received it, every Sword-Serving Child in the Purple Palace should have received the mission by now.”

The mission they received was to gather in the depths of the Purple Bamboo Forest in the Outer Sect at midday tomorrow and wait for Lu Xun’s arrival.

This excited them greatly.

They had been Sword-Serving Children for some time now. Apart from earning extra experience points when carrying out daily tasks for the sect, they had not yet received any plot missions from Lu Xun!

This was quite unreasonable.

As the World Protagonist, having formed a connection with him and even becoming his sword-serving disciples, they should have been able to trigger a large number of hidden plots.

They waited and waited, until the flowers wilted and bloomed again, they finally got one!

As professional players, they knew that, as long as they were ready for any kicks from the Purple Palace, they could take off and soar high!

This was an opportunity! An opportunity to pull ahead of the other players!

“Do you guys think… what kind of quest will the Purple Palace give us?” Xiao Guangming asked curiously.

“Not sure, but it should be an important story mission. Otherwise, there’s no need for him to show up personally and summon us to meet him.” Li Zuole analyzed.

Cai Jiangjiang had a playful smile on her face. The thought of meeting that man made her heart race.

This woman, who had the body of a Lolita and the heart of a mature woman, once looked down on those who were only interested in appearances.

And the truth proved that sometimes a person unintentionally becomes what they most dislike.

Bitterly delightful!

She continued playing with her hair and turned to ask them, “Do you think… we will get the chance to go down the mountain with the Purple Palace and assist in some hidden task?”

“I think you’re dreaming. I have a humble suggestion: drink less and eat more peanuts.” Wang Gangtie said bluntly.

Cai Jiangjiang didn’t take offense and asked, “So, you guys don’t want such an opportunity?”

At her words, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, they craved such good fortune, no one could resist that man.

Oh, his damn charisma!

However, they were fully aware that the chances were very slim.

After all, that man was not an ordinary NPC.

…

…

The next day, after finishing his lunch, Lu Xun prepared to head to the Purple Bamboo Forest in the outlands of the Demon Sect.

Before setting off, he gave Mao Nanbei two cans of his secret beef sauce in exchange for the privilege to pet the cat for a while, enjoying the wonderful feel of those cat ears.

“Little Junior Brother, are you sure I can’t follow you down the mountain?” Mao Nanbei lifted her eyes and looked at Lu Xun.

“Fourth Senior Sister, you heard what Shen Yan said, the ancient relic is only accessible to cultivators below the fourth realm. You’re already at the peak of the third realm, and with your recovery speed, by the time we reach the Southern Territory, you will definitely have reached the fourth realm. You simply can’t get in,” Lu Xun said.

After finishing, he spoke to her like coaxing a child, “it’s not our fault that you’re too strong.”

Upon hearing this, Mao Nanbei’s cat ears stood upright, she puffed out her chest and said, “Humph! Well, what can I do? I’m just too powerful!”

Seeing her acting so conceited, Lu Xun really wanted to pet her cat tail and spank her little bottom at the same time.

Having pacified the clingy Mao Nanbei, Lu Xun began to say goodbye to everyone on the back mountain.

Second Senior Sister was still as reticent as ever, only saying, “Be…be careful.”

Third Senior Brother, as always, was very generous. He gave Lu Xun a storage ring and three Godspeed Talismans.

Ji Li and Lin Chan were reluctant to let him go, while the Elder couldn’t wait to wave him goodbye.

After the farewell, Lu Xun took out a paper crane and flew towards the Purple Bamboo Forest of the Demon Sect’s Outlands.

When he arrived, he saw his six Sword-Serving Children had been waiting for him there for some time.

The paper crane landed in front everyone, and Lu Xun glanced around.

He had always been free-range with these Sword-Serving Children.

Luckily, these little lambs had developed pretty well.

Even Mo Guanji, who was the worst among the six, had a not inferior character level, which was quite remarkable among players.

Lu Xun looked at them and said, “You’re all doing pretty well; it seems you’ve been working hard to cultivate.”

As he said so, he was thinking, “They all seem diligent in doing their tasks.”

When he finished speaking, he held his sword sheath and said, “I’m planning a trip down the mountain, going to the Uncold Forest in the Southern Territory. Would you like to join me?”

After saying that, he quickly drafted a quest and handed it over to everyone.

Mo Guanji was delighted in his heart, finally having another chance to journey with the Purple Palace.

His youth, he’s getting it back!

Just when he was about to respond, someone beat him to it.

Cai Jiangjiang, with her twin ponytails, had her eyes full of stars. She sounded off in a solemn and loud voice, “I am willing!”

Lu Xun’s mouth twitched, with that attitude of hers, you’d think we were about to get married in a church.

Looking at Cai Jiangjiang, he felt curious and thought, “She has made her own alterations to the clothing, it looks like a variant of the Lolita fashion from another world.”

Soon, everyone accepted the quest, except for Han Bagui. All of them expressed their enthusiasm to join the journey out loud.

Who would’ve thought there’s actually a hidden story quest, and we have a chance to travel with the Purple Palace!

Ha ha ha, I must brag on the forum!

Looking at the excited tool players, Lu Xun nodded satisfactorily. That’s exactly the effect he wanted.

“Do any of the six of you already have a Flying Magical Treasure?” Lu Xun asked.

Some shook their heads while others nodded.

They were all capable of flying with objets, but different players have different consumption habits.

Some thought that they could just get any flying magical treasure, and it was fine if the flying speed was slow, which could save some money. Some were more willing to spend on this, aiming to look cool!

Lu Xun smiled, directly took out six paper cranes from his storage ring, and threw them to the six players.

He definitely wouldn’t share a paper crane ride with someone else, not even with Cai Jiangjiang, who was pretending to be a Lolita.

After enjoying the company of Mao Nanbei, a legally loli, Cai Jiangjiang, who was pretending to be a loli, was a bit too much for him.

Not to mention she doesn’t even have cat ears! Trash!

After the six tools received the paper cranes, a prompt message immediately popped up before their eyes.

After checking, they found out that the paper cranes were only temporarily lent to them, but as long as they completed the task with Lu Xun, the paper cranes would also be part of the reward!

Other than Han Bagui, the other five players couldn’t put down the paper cranes. Their inexperienced expressions looked so much like their past selves.

However, it’s understandable. After all, not only was the paper crane exquisite, it was also the same type used by the Purple Palace.

Owning it was not just a matter of flying speed or coolness, it also represented status and prestige!

Just this reward alone was enough to make them overjoyed.

Lu Xun even began to contemplate whether to start a lottery business and let players buy tickets for paper cranes.

In most online games, mounts are one of the fastest ways to get rich.

Who doesn’t like to ride something?

As for other rewards for them besides the paper cranes?

Lu Xun planned to give some experience points as rewards.

After all, he was bringing them to dismantle the altar. As long as the game system determined that they contributed in this process, they would receive the rewards for dismantling the altar.

“If the system will give…then why should I?” Lu Xun thought.

Of course, if they really paid a significant price in the process, Lu Xun would still compensate them.

After all, they were disciples under him. It’s okay to tinker around, but it’s not acceptable to break them.

“I’m not a heartless person.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

“Then let’s set off.” He motioned the paper crane to move, leading the way towards Lead Peak.

The six players quickly rode on their new mounts and followed him hastily.

Lu Xun glanced at the south from a distance and slightly squinted his eyes.

He was quite looking forward to this journey to the Southern Territory.

Not to mention anything else, since he was going to enter the so-called “Ancient Relic” with the younger disciples of the Qingtian Sect, it was likely that he would meet the World Protagonist of the Qingtian Sect.

That’s a very interesting and special NPC.
