With the mountain descent imminent, Lu Xun became busy.

Uh… mainly busy in the kitchen.

He intended to marinate some food, prepare some bacon, and make some beef sauce, chili sauce, and the like.

Once he left the mountain, his third Junior Brother would undoubtedly persist in “feeding excrement” to everyone. Lu Xun was doing all of this to allow them to eat something normal while enduring the “eating of excrement”.

By then, even if he wasn’t on the mountain, his two Senior Sisters and Mister would still bless him during meals.

Perfection!

While Lu Xun was making these things, his third Junior Brother was always watching by the side.

Who made Lu Xun initially consider the feelings of the third Junior Brother and blatantly claim in front of everyone: “The reason I thought of making these things is thanks to exchanging cooking skills with the third Junior Brother on usual days, he inspired me.”

This round of operation won the favor of everyone on the mountain, Lu Xun thought himself damn excellent.

“The little girl prefers strong flavors, make a jar of spicier one specifically for her, the second Senior Sister prefers light tastes, make something else for her.” Lu Xun contemplated while making the beef sauce.

“As for third Junior Brother and Mister…just follow and eat.”

Lin Chan curiously stood by, watching the master’s proficient actions, wondering in her heart: “Is there anything that Master can’t do?”

As for the third Junior Brother, he served as a tasting officer, he was basically involved throughout, after all, the idea for these goodies was his!

“Delicious, the flavor is excellent,” praised the third Junior Brother after a taste.

Lu Xun smiled slightly, feeling that a person should indeed have one’s own specialty.

Didn’t I just conquer the mountain with my culinary prowess?

Over the past few days, Mister was constantly urging him to depart for the mountain earlier, Lu Xun sighed in his heart: “As a teacher, Mister indeed hopes that I could gain more experience in the world.”

The days passed quickly, and the day to descend the mountain swiftly arrived, Lu Xun, as instructed, first went to see Mister. Mister had previously mentioned that he would give instructions before the departure, it seems there is a task to accept.

Outside the Small Study, Mister was, as usual, wearing a thin white shirt, sipping hot tea with his orchid finger lifted in the chilly wind.

But the third Junior Brother was not attending him at the door at the moment.

Lu Xun stepped forward, saying, “Mister, I plan to go down the mountain in the afternoon. Is there anything you need me to do?”

Mister put down the teacup in his hand, did not look at Lu Xun, and said, “I need you to go to Boundless Mountain and bring back something for me.”

“What is it?” Lu Xun asked.

“You will know when you go.” Mister did not elaborate.

A task prompt popped up in front of Lu Xun, and he directly accepted the task.

The task was to let Lu Xun go to Boundless Mountain, retrieve something, and safely bring it back to the Demon Sect, with a reward of 300,000 Experience Points and an unknown reward.

“Such a high Experience Points reward! There is also an unknown reward, this task doesn’t seem to be simple.” Lu Xun contemplated.

The Boundless Mountain, like the Demon Sect, was one of the top three Demon Sects, located far away in the far north of the Heavenly Dust Continent. A round trip would take quite a bit of time.

“It seems that once I leave the mountain, it will be a while before I return.”

But the task assigned by Mister is something he must adhere to, even if it delays time.

After accepting the task, Lu Xun told Mister, “So… should I take leave, sir?”

He transmitted an expectant look to Mister.

The disciple is leaving the mountain and it’s quite dangerous outside, shouldn’t you, as a master, express some concern?

Mister waved his hand, his face showing a joyous expression, and urged, “Off you go!”

Lu Xun:

After receiving his assignment from the teacher, Lu Xun headed for the bamboo forest.

In a black Daoist robe, the Second Senior Sister was still sitting high on a giant rock, meditating. It was estimated that she would not leave the bamboo forest until she had achieved Great Perfection in the Sword Cultivating Technique.

“Second Senior Sister.” Lu Xun greeted his Second Senior Sister with a bow.

Even from behind, Second Senior Sister Gu Xiaoman appeared cool and aloof. Since she stuttered when speaking, she still preferred silence.

All she did was nod slightly, then extend her fair and slender finger, and summon a verdant bamboo leaf with a gentle pull in the air.

Her two fingers held the bamboo leaf, and her other hand formed a sword technique gesture. Then, she cast a Sword Qi onto this bamboo leaf.

After doing this, she waved her hand gently, and the bamboo leaf slowly fell into Lu Xun’s palm.

This bamboo leaf, imbued with Sword Qi, served as a weapon for Lu Xun. In facing an unbeatable enemy, he could rely on it for attack.

Although Lu Xun understood its usage, as always, he liked to provoke his Second Senior Sister into conversation. Despite her cool appearance, Gu Xiaoman was actually very good-tempered.

He said with a smile, “Thank you, Second Senior Sister. I am about to descend the mountain. Is there anything you wish to tell me?”

Second Senior Sister Gu Xiaoman stuttered, “No… None. Come… Come back soon.”

Lu Xun stopped teasing Gu Xiaoman, and after bowing, he went to find his Third Senior Brother.

At this moment, Third Senior Brother was fishing by a small creek. Mao Nanbei was also there, playing happily with the water, showing no signs of fearing the winter cold.

Seeing Mao Nanbei’s slightly raised buttocks, Lu Xun even had the impulse to rush over and slap it hard.

Of course, he only thought about it, fearing to get chopped for his actions.

“Little Junior Brother, you’re here. I plan to make Apple Fish tonight,” said Third Senior Brother to Lu Xun.

“Third Senior Brother, I plan to descend the mountain this afternoon,” Lu Xun told Zhuge Lai Fu.

“Oh? Then, why don’t you come back to the Small Study with me later? I have something for you there,” said Third Senior Brother.

After Third Senior Brother had caught the fish, everyone returned to the mountain peak. Third Senior Brother took out two items from his room: a storage ring and a booklet.

He first handed the storage ring to Lu Xun. Lu Xun scanned it with his Divine Sense and found it contained a full ten thousand Spirit Stones!

“Unlike on the mountain, you’ll have some expenses outside. This should be enough to last you for some time,” said Third Senior Brother with a smile.

What does it mean to be wealthy and generous?

This was it!

At this moment, Lu Xun even thought, “Why bother milking other players? Why not just cling to a strong backer?”

But then he realized, wasn’t it better to have the best of both worlds?

Of course he should continue to milk players. After all, one cannot forget their original intentions.

After giving out the storage ring, Third Senior Brother stood there and began flipping through the booklet.

Lu Xun stood by and watched. The booklet was fully comprised of thick, premium talisman paper, and each page was a talisman.

Third Senior Brother seemed to be selecting something. Out of so many talismans, which ones should he give to Little Junior Brother?

He eventually chose three talismans, handed them to Lu Xun, and said, “These may prove useful at critical moments.”

“Thank you, Third Senior Brother,” said Lu Xun after glancing over the basic information of the three talismans.

All three were Godspeed Talismans, useful as escape tools.

“Is Third Senior Brother suggesting that I should run away when I can’t fight?”

“Wait, why am I only thinking about running away? Why can’t I use the Godspeed Talisman to chase and slash at others?”

By this time, Lin Chan had also packed her bags, standing obediently by Lu Xun’s side. With a smile, Lu Xun turned to Mao Nanbei and asked, “Fourth Senior Sister, where is your super, super, super good treasure?”

“Aiyah, I’ll give it to you in a bit!” Mao Nanbei raised her little hand and said, “Let’s go, I’ll bid you farewell. Keep an eye out for my surprise bye-bye present!”
