Chapter 446: 446, [The Holy One]
The 48 million experience points were just sitting there in Lu Xun’s character panel, it was a substantial amount, enough for him to break through to the fifth realm.
Lu Xun sat on the stone bench and took another look at the teapot on the stone table, remarking, “It’s pretty uniquely crafted.”
As he was speaking, he reached out his hand, deemed evil by some, towards the teapot that was, in fact, crafted in a very simple and plain style.
One would think he just wanted to pick it up and examine it in detail, when in reality, he was testing if the item could continue to be used, or rather, if it would be convenient to pack and take away?
However…
“Huh?” Despite using all his might, Lu Xun found himself unable to pick up the teapot.
Clearly, some sort of prohibition was established between the teapot and the stone table. With his current strength, Lu Xun was unable to break it.
“A real shame.” Lu Xun sighed inwardly, feeling as if he had missed out on an ATM of experience points.
Perhaps… I’ll try again when my level is higher?
He pretended as if nothing had happened, and once again respectfully bowed towards the teapot. It was as if he was thanking it for the greeting gift, perfectly fitting the image of a well-mannered junior.
Ji Li and Lin Chan followed suit, imitating Lu Xun’s actions and bowing before rising in unison.
After leaving the stone table, Lu Xun didn’t rush into the house, but instead circled around the courtyard to see if there were any other treasures.
His actions resembled those of someone playing an ancient version of a single-player game, where one would constantly wander around in search of items.
Regrettably, aside from the miraculous effects of the teapot, all the other items in the small courtyard were mundane, leaving Lu Xun empty-handed.
It’s not that he wanted to steal from his senior brother’s house. As a disciple of the teacher, he wasn’t stooping to such disgraceful behavior. At most, he was just… mooching.
The three of them arrived at the front of the house, the small wooden door was closed, but there were no prohibitions on it. After bowing, Lu Xun gently knocked several times, and the wooden door opened on its own.
It was clear that the courthouse was inhabited by no one, yet many places seemed to be filled with liveliness.
Lu Xun began to wonder if the courtyard was an entity that had its own spirit?
Upon pushing open the door, Lu Xun saw a long corridor. It was somewhat dark inside, but a row of spirit lamps hung on the wall.
Lu Xun was familiar with spirit lamps.
Back in West State at the establishment named “Moon in the Well”, he had once broken an antique-level spirit lamp.
From the outside, the spirit lamps here looked similar to the antique ones, giving off a very antique aura. With the passage of time, he wondered whether these gadgets were still usable?
Lu Xun walked over and tried to transfer his spiritual power to light up the spirit lamp.
The moment his spiritual power touched the lamp wick, the spirit lamp was ignited.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh”, after the first spirit lamp was lit, for some reason, all the spirit lamps successively lit up, as if passing on the flame.
In an instant, the whole house was brightly lit.
Lu Xun glanced down the corridor, noticing a separate room on both sides of the corridor.
The spirit lamps were hung at the entrances to the rooms on the right, whereas the rooms on the left did not have spirit lamps.
When Lu Xun reached the entrance of a room, he discovered that it was labeled “Great Study Hall”. It was indeed a room filled with books.
On the wooden doors of the rooms on the left, there were wooden tablets hanging. Each of the tablets was labeled to signify the classification of the books inside.
The first room was labeled “Cultivation Techniques”, and below that, there was a separate label that read “Ancient”.
Correspondingly, the first room on the right was also labeled with the characters for “Cultivation Techniques”, but it didn’t have a separate “Ancient” label.
The following rooms were labeled “Sword Skill”, “Knife Technique”, “Gun Method”, “Stick Method” and so on.
Just like the first room, on the left, all the labels had the word “Ancient”.
“So the first room is filled with cultivation techniques, and the books in the rooms behind should all be skill books?” Lu Xun thought to himself.
At the end of the corridor, there were ten rooms labeled “Rest”, presumably where one can sleep.
“But what does this “Ancient” mean? Ancient books?” Lu Xun was guessing.
He planned to go in and take a look. If he threw a “Detection”, the prompt information would naturally give an answer.
Standing at the front, Lu Xun decided to begin with “Cultivation Techniques”.
After giving it some thought, he pushed open the door on the left first.
Upon entering, he saw row upon row of bookshelves.
Each shelf was stacked with numerous jade slips, all arranged neatly as if a person with OCD had placed them there.
Lu Xun sensed that the number of jade slips here was no less than in the Demon Sect Tower of Imparting Skills!
He walked to the first shelf and casually picked up a jade slip. It had the characters “Return to the Sea Seven Times” on it.
This should be the name of this cultivation technique.
Quickly, a prompt information popped up in front of Lu Xun.
Originally, he thought it would be a usual “Would you like to learn” prompt, but the content of the actual prompt surprised him.
“Ding! Due to insufficient Enlightenment, you cannot learn this technique!”
Lu Xun stared at the prompt information in front of him and fell silent.
So far, he still had an Enlightenment level of 1.
When Lu Xun was drawing a random attribute, he never drew Enlightenment. From his perspective, this was a very lucky occurrence.
For him, Enlightenment was more of a chicken rib; he had better methods to gain experience points in order to level up quickly.
But for other players, the attribute of Enlightenment wasn’t really a useless skill.
The ability to level up while idle is a common feature in games.
