Chapter 278: 278 Famous People

Translator: 549690339

After the Spirit Crow drank the Spiritual Wine, its body started to change.

Its body began to bulge in many places, mostly concentrated on the wings.

Then, the feathers at the bulging parts started to loosen.

With a gentle touch from Lu Xun, the black feathers fell off.

“Is it…going bald?” Lu Xun paused for a moment.

Could it be transforming from a Spirit Crow into a vulture?

Moreover, looking at this situation, the feathers on its body were fine; only the wings were affected.

He grabbed the Spirit Crow, rubbing the feathers on its body.

The feathers would fall off sooner or later anyway, he might as well help it molt.

After a small portion of feathers fell off, Lu Xun observed carefully and found new feathers growing out.

The feathers were golden and had only grown a little bit.

Upon close inspection, the Spirit Crow’s originally all-black body now had a hint of gold at the ends of the wings.

“Wow, its appearance has improved! It seems to have become more advanced,” Lu Xun remarked after observing it.

Very well, let’s upgrade you from emergency ration to a household pet.

However, despite its change in appearance, its dumb and silly temperament remained unchanged.

Lu Xun opened his pet interface and found that the Spirit Crow’s information had changed.

[Level: 5.]

[State: Reverting Ancestors.]

“How has its level increased by two, and its state has changed from [Semi-Spiritual Wisdom] to [Reverting Ancestors]?” Lu Xun was surprised.

He still remembered when he went to Boundless Mountain, the Sect Leader of Boundless Mountain, Feng Wuming, introduced the crows found throughout the mountain, claiming that they allegedly possessed the Golden Crow Bloodline.

After finishing his statement, Feng Wuming himself laughed.

Nobody took this legend seriously.

But Lu Xun’s Spirit Crow seemed to have caused quite a stir!

“So just because you drank some Spiritual Wine, you’re reverting to your ancestors?” Lu Xun poked it with his finger and said.

He walked into his warehouse, took out another jar of Spiritual Wine, and placed it in front of it.

However, it sniffed the wine and appeared to be dizzy from the alcohol.

The Spirit Crow then started shouting words like “chicken shit” and “Gan Linliang”, flew to a branch, and kept its distance.

“Why are you swearing again?”

“Just a moment ago you wanted to drink wine, but now the smell of wine seems intoxicating… You seem like a different crow.” Lu Xun internally remarked.

Are you schizophrenic?

Lu Xun sat in his chair, legs crossed, looked up at the silly Spirit Crow on the branch and murmured: “Once this side is free, I should take it back and ask the Master.”

He suddenly felt that the Master’s instruction to go to Boundless Mountain to collect something, but not stating what it exactly was, seemed to have deeper implications than what he initially thought.

The next day, Lu Xun woke up early.

He opened the window and whistled, and the Spirit Crow flew over, landing on the windowsill.

Lu Xun looked at the feathers on its wings and found that the golden feathers grew quite fast, noticeably lengthening.

However, what was strange was that the Spirit Crow seemed to have shrunk.

It was chosen by Mao Nanbei among the group of Spirit Crows. The reason it was chosen was because it seemed plump and meaty, perfect for cooking.

Now, it’s actually shrunk!

Furthermore, its level astonishingly reached level 7 overnight!

In the span of a night, it inexplicably advanced two more levels!

This was truly mysterious…

“Since when did leveling spirit beasts become this easy?” Lu Xun thought.

Not to mention spirit beasts, even Monster Cultivators have inherent disadvantages in cultivation and progress slowly. There is no reason to leap two minor realms overnight.

As Lu Xun looked at it, he couldn’t help but recall the celestial phenomenon he had seen when he was about to leave the area of Boundless Mountain.

That day, it seemed as if there were two suns in the sky!

After having a simple meal of porridge and dishes at the Lai Fu Restaurant, Lu Xun came to the outskirts of Qingling City.

On this drizzly day, he walked on the cobblestone path holding a paper umbrella.

Outside the city, there were already a large number of players assembled, each of them carrying a jar of wine, periodically looking up at the sky in anticipation of the White Emperor arriving on his paper crane.

“Hey! Stop looking at the sky, the White Emperor is here!”

“Where? Where?”

“At the city gate, here he comes!”

Players turned their eyes to the city gate, quickly sighting the figure in white, holding a paper umbrella, with the blue-black city wall behind him.

From a distance, he appeared as if he had stepped out of a painting.

Stunned, the players couldn’t have imagined that all it took was extraordinary charisma to draw everyone’s attention, even as he casually strolled in like an ordinary person.

Lu Xun approached the players, slightly lifted the umbrella, and asked, “Are you all here to offer wine?”

The players nodded in unison.

“Then let’s start.”

It was early morning and the light rain fell, tapping on the umbrella, creating a rhythmic sound.

Lu Xun soon gained hundreds of thousands of Experience Points. Adding the remaining points from before, he had enough to level up to Level 28.

Just then, a notification popped up before his eyes.

“[Ding! Task: Escort and Protection, triggered!]”

Lu Xun squinted his eyes and thought, “It seems that something has gone wrong with these Disciples of the Demon Sect who went to the Ancient Secret Realm.”

Lu Xun waved his sleeve, stowed the paper umbrella into his storage ring, took out a paper crane, and quickly flew into the sky.

The players watched in surprise as Lu Xun inexplicably flew away, leaving them dumbfounded.

“Why did he leave? Damn!”

“I’ve been queueing for half an hour, holding a token of love, this… all for nothing?”

“Lu Xun seemed to be in a great hurry, could something have happened?”

On the paper crane, Lu Xun no longer cared about the players’ thoughts.

Having already crossed into this world and integrated into the Demon Sect family, his mindset had changed from when he was a player in his previous life.

There were no Demon Sect NPCs in his sight, these were all living people to him, his juniors who respect and honor him daily.

So, even the usually calm Lu Xun had an uncommon look of anxiety on his face.

“I hope nothing’s wrong,” he thought.

As Lu Xun flew at full speed, he opened his task panel.

Looking at the experience bar, after hesitating for a moment, he didn’t immediately click to level up.

He intended to save these experience points for potential emergencies.

Because for him, being able to level up on the spot and fully restore his Spiritual Power!

In an instant, his body’s spiritual power would be replenished!

This could be more useful!

In a certain secret realm, several disheveled Disciples of the Demon Sect were hiding in a corner.

The Inner Sect disciple Wang Tao had been severely wounded into a coma, his chest was caved in, clearly having suffered a heavy blow!

Xu Zhongcheng was propping up Wang Tao, feeding him an elixir, his expression grim.

No one had imagined such an outcome, especially Wang Tao, their team leader, now hanging by a thread between life and death.

The creature outside was overwhelmingly powerful, plunging them into despair!

Xu Zhongcheng pulled out an elixir from his storage ring and fed it to Wang Tao.

This young man’s face bore a serious look, with a hint of struggle in his eyes.

After a moment of struggle, he gritted his teeth and said, “My fellow disciples, when I leave to distract it, all of you run with everything you have.”

“Brother Xu, no!” A male disciple exclaimed.

Xu Zhongcheng glanced at him and looked up at the stone wall above.

Actually, he didn’t want to go either.

In fact, he was very frightened.

He was only a year older than Ji Li, just 19 this year.

“Disciples, no more words!” He stood up, not willing to continue the conversation.

He was afraid that if he continued, he would back down.

The young man always thought he was brave, but at this moment, he realized he was not as brave as he thought.

But… so what?

Yes, so what?

“Decisions must be made at crucial moments!”

The young man said in a somewhat choked voice that he was trying to keep steady.
