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 in 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 ying an ancient version of a single-yer 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 ces 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 spiritmps hung on the wall.


    Lu Xun was familiar with spiritmps.


    Back in West State at the establishment named “Moon in the Well”, he had once broken an antique-level spiritmp.


    From the outside, the spiritmps here looked simr 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 spiritmp.


    The moment his spiritual power touched themp wick, the spiritmp was ignited.


    “Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh”, after the first spiritmp was lit, for some reason, all the spiritmps sessively lit up, as if passing on the me.


    In an instant, the whole house was brightly lit.


    Lu Xun nced down the corridor, noticing a separate room on both sides of the corridor.


    The spiritmps were hung at the entrances to the rooms on the right, whereas the rooms on the left did not have spiritmps.


    When Lu Xun reached the entrance of a room, he discovered that it wasbeled “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 wasbeled to signify the ssification of the books inside.


    The first room wasbeled “Cultivation Techniques”, and below that, there was a separatebel that read “Ancient”.


    Correspondingly, the first room on the right was alsobeled with the characters for “Cultivation Techniques”, but it didn’t have a separate “Ancient”bel.


    The following rooms werebeled “Sword Skill”, “Knife Technique”, “Gun Method”, “Stick Method” and so on.


    Just like the first room, on the left, all thebels 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 roomsbeled “Rest”, presumably where one can sleep.


    “But what does this “Ancient” mean? Ancient books?” Lu Xun was guessing.


    He nned 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 ced 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 urrence.


    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 yers, the attribute of Enlightenment wasn’t really a useless skill.


    The ability to level up while idle is amon feature in games.


    Just like yers, they can choose to cultivate while AFK, and then gain experience points from doing so.


    While AFK, they can listen to music, chat, watch movies or something. Isn’t that cool?


    And the higher your “Enlightenment”, the more experience points you’ll obtain.


    Don’t look down on the small amount of experience Lu Xun gained from meditation cultivation before level 10. As your level increases, the amount of experience you gain will also increase.


    But for Lu Xun, the significance isn’t huge, it’spletely iparable to farming.


    “AFK? Work is the greatest honor for the working people! Do it for me!” This is Lu Xun’s true thought.


    But now, there is a cultivation technique that can’t be learned because of low “Enlightenment”?


    Lu Xun put down the jade simplicity in his hand, his fingers traveled over the remaining jade simplicities, as if caressing them.


    One after another tooltip popped up in front of his eyes, all informing him: “Enlightenment” is too low!


    “Hiss – I feel like I’m being looked down on!” Lu Xun felt that these tooltips were scolding him for being stupid!


    After touching an entire row of jade, Lu Xun stopped.


    He can now confirm that all the jade in the room is indeed “Ancient Books”!


    Lu Xun remembers clearly that in ancient times, the threshold for cultivation was much higher than it is now.


    At that time, “Enlightenment 5” was the threshold for cultivation. If your “Enlightenment” was too low, you couldn’t cultivate and couldn’t be a cultivator.


    Until a certain great individual, whose name is unknown, emerged, improved arge number of cultivation techniques, and created a variety of new entrance cultivation methods, causing a huge change in the entire cultivation world!


    After the threshold was lowered, the number of cultivators also increased.


    Those who were considered foolish in the past also had the opportunity to cultivate.


    Lu Xun looked at the rows of ancient books here, did not linger, but left the room and went to the room opposite.


    The word “Method” also hung on the door, but the word “Ancient” was gone.


    After pushing the door open, Lu Xun only saw a row of shelves.


    The number of cultivation techniques in this room was much less.


    Lu Xun picked up the jade simplicity at the front, and then was taken aback.


    Because written on the jade simplicity were three big words – “Qi Consumption Technique”!


    “The Demon Sect’s entrance cultivation method, Qi Consumption Technique!” Lu Xun opened the jade simplicity and nced down.


    The words on the jade simplicity are very beautiful, with an elegant and neat font.


    “Is it master’s handwriting?” Lu Xun wondered in his heart.


    After closing the jade simplicity, he cast a “Detection” spell on it.


    Soon, the basic information of the jade simplicity popped up in front of him.


    “[Cultivation Technique: ‘Qi Consumption Technique’ (original volume)!]”


    Lu Xun looked at the word “Original Volume” and couldn’t help but be stunned.


    He put down the jade simplicity, picked up the second one, which is the basic cultivation technique of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, named “Sword Qi Form”.


    Lu Xun directly cast a “Detection” spell, and the words “Original Volume” also appeared at the top!


    The third jade simplicity, the fourth one, the fifth one…


    As Lu Xun went through them all, they turned out to be all original volumes!


    Actually, even if they are original volumes, it wouldn’t surprise Lu Xun too much.


    Maybe the master just likes to collect these things. Although they are of high difficulty, they aren’t unobtainable!


    However, the most fatal thing is that the handwriting on each jade simplicity is clearly from the same person!


    The handwriting is the same, plus they are all original volumes, this means that these cultivation techniques were most likely created by the same person!


    And from the timeline, Sword Mountain was established not long after the ancient catastrophe. At that time, the “Sword Qi Form” already existed.


    “Master… You couldn’t possibly be that great person in the legend, could you?” Lu Xun murmured to himself, his heart shocked.


    He put down the jade simplicity, walked out of the room, and returned to the long corridor.


    Left is the old, right is the present.


    Everything in this small yard seems to symbolize the evolution of history, symbolizing the changes of the times!


    These jade simplicities on the right allowed more people who initially had no chance to cultivate to step into this magnificent and magical world of cultivation!


    The present flourishing era of cultivation, like a prairie fire, is spreading in all directions. And that great individual is the first spark.


    – Their deeds shall echo throughout the ages!


    This kind of person deserves to be revered as The Holy One!


    Standing here, Lu Xun felt a bit dazed.


    Looking at this row of spiritmps, he couldn’t help but recall the scene of lighting them.


    When he lit the firstmp, themps behind it lit up one by one.


    The light continued, just like passing the torch.


    Lu Xun now couldn’t help but think of a line from the Lotus Sutra:


    “[Onemp can light up thousands ofmps until all are lit.]”


    …
