“A furnace-ding?” Lu Xun blinked, puzzled upon hearing these words.

As a veteran player of “Heavenly Dust” and a fan of online novels, how could he not know what a furnace-ding signifies.

You may not value certain items, but to those demonic evil cultivators, specifically female cultivators, they are priceless. After all, a furnace-ding works best when it’s fiery.

The fiercer the fire of the furnace-ding, the faster they can cultivate!

So, when Lu Xun heard the mention of furnace-ding, his expression quickly changed, and he couldn’t help but think:

“Could such good luck befall on me!?”

In “Heavenly Dust,” indeed, quite a few players chose this same cultivation path.

As stated before, the game offers a high degree of freedom. As long as you’re an adult, you have plenty of choices.

However, this cultivation path has been labelled as one of the worst to start with due to its low limit.

Using such quirky methods to level up, it is unlikely that your cultivation base will be impressive. Moreover, the one serving as the furnace-ding will tend to die out and become a dry corpse after practicing such a technique three times!

Utterly dry, not a drop left!

However, since players can respawn multiple times, they can experiment however they wish, even if it results in abandoning their game account and starting over. But that doesn’t apply to Lu Xun.

Every respawn is invaluable to him. He can’t just go wasting them.

Risking his life for mere indulgence, that’s too dramatic.

It would make sense if he risks his life for an impeccable start, but this low-level cultivation method, frankly, didn’t appeal to him.

So, even though he found this whole situation interesting, he began thinking of what strategy to employ.

…

…

At this point in time, Ji Li, who was standing in front of Lu Xun, was also deep in thought.

Her father’s surname was Ji, and her mother loved pears, hence she was named Ji Li.

Her family was a martial arts family, but the complex world of martial arts made it hard to determine friends from foes.

Due to a fortunate turn of events, her parents got possession of an immortal magical sword and a cultivation method. However, the news leaked out somehow, and their home was invaded. Only she managed to escape with the sword and method.

Not everyone in this world cultivates. In “Heavenly Dust,” cultivation isn’t particularly advantageous before level 10. It only becomes significant after level 10.

The cultivation method she had was the demonic arts, which were despised by those from righteous sects.

The primary condition for cultivation was that she needed a male furnace-ding.

As an innocent, unmarried girl, how can she handle this!

She had barely any knowledge about these matters, much less to use them for cultivation… after all, she was just a sixteen-year-old girl.

But she had to avenge her family! It was a deep-seated hatred!

Moreover, there were people still after her, she urgently needed to enhance her strength!

This demonic arts text was her only backing!

As for the magical sword called Wedding Sword… without a cultivation base, she couldn’t use its power. At most, it was sharper than mortal iron, but it was also damn heavy!

So, a furnace-ding was what she needed the most right now.

But, how could she… She couldn’t even…

Until she saw Lu Xun.

“Is there really such a handsome man in the world?” Ji Li’s heart pounded at her first sight of him.

He was so attractive that she felt she wasn’t at a loss, but rather stood to gain a bit?

Yes, Ji Li may not realize it herself, but she cares a lot about appearances.

Her mother once told her that there wasn’t a single decent man out there. As such, why not choose the most attractive one?

It seemed…somewhat reasonable?

Come to think of it, if her dad wasn’t handsome, would her mother, a martial artist herself, have married him?

Moreover, her rationale was simple; even if she had to use a furnace-ding, at least it should be someone she liked looking at. What if she got disturbed halfway through cultivation and it led to loss of control!

As for whether there’s anyone more handsome than the man in front of her?

She won’t believe it! Impossible! There’s no such person!

He’s already incredibly handsome…
