Chapter 277 The Beginning of Change
Lu Xun glanced at Shopkeeper Wang, who was snoring on the table, and knew that he would not be able to receive the disciples of the Demon Sect.
In addition, he was already a little curious, so he stood up on his own initiative, left the backyard, and walked into the restaurant.
As soon as Lu Xun appeared, he attracted the attention of everyone present.
He had an elegant temperament and graceful demeanor. After a slight smile, he showed his inner sect deacon's token to the group of Demon Sect disciples.
This was what he had taken the initiative to ask Shen Yan for when he returned to the sect earlier.
Shen Yan gave it very readily, because he also knew that Lu Xun would have some inconveniences in walking down the mountain as the junior uncle of the Demon Sect, and having multiple new identities would be a good thing.
The status of the inner door deacons is below that of the elders. They cannot be considered high-level officials in the Demon Sect, but they can be considered mid-level cadres.
This identity is just right.
The leader of this group of people was an inner disciple of the Demon Sect, and the other dozen or so were all outer disciples, so naturally they all saluted Lu Xun.
Although they were also puzzled, this deacon was outstanding in both appearance and temperament, why did we have no impression of him?
The reason was simple. Because there were no players in this small team, and Lu Xun had been in contact with players as Baidi, most of the Demon Sect disciples were unfamiliar with him, so there was nothing strange about it.
The leading inner sect disciple was called Wang Tao, a very common name.
His cultivation is at the third level, which is about the same level as Murong Yan.
This level is considered very common among the inner sect of the Demon Sect.
Lu Xun looked around the small team and found that there were a few outer disciples he remembered, including Xu Zhongcheng, who had unfortunately lost to Ji Li in the outer sect competition.
Lu Xun asked them about their purpose of coming to Lai Fu Restaurant. He didn't expect that they were going to explore an ancient relic and get some food and daily necessities.
As for the so-called ancient ruins, Lu Xun currently has little interest in them.
Although the name sounds grand, any place left over from ancient times is called an ancient relic.
Moreover, up to now, those large ruins have been almost all developed, and most of the remaining ones are small ruins.
Some were specially left for disciples to test, such as the [Ghost-Seeing] in Wuji Mountain, which was transformed from ancient ruins.
Some are newly discovered and are still in the development stage, waiting for people to explore them.
As for the ancient ruins that Wang Tao's team is going to, they are this kind of small ruins waiting to be developed.
Some time ago, the remains of an ancient sect were discovered in the Demon Sect area. This sect was also a famous sect in ancient times, and it was probably destroyed in that ancient catastrophe.
This site was developed by Yue Heshan himself, and a lot of good things were found in it.
Although Yue Heshan is like a charitable gambler who always loses when gambling, he has good luck in other aspects and is a person with great luck and fortune.
If his family wasn't wealthy, he wouldn't dare to gamble even though he would lose every time he gambled...
On the other hand, many ancient ruins are very fragile and will be destroyed if the operation is wrong. Yue Heshan has a unique intuition when it comes to taking chances, so the work of developing the ruins is usually done by him.
After he finished exploring the ruins, he found another small ruin not far away. It was from a subsidiary sect of this big sect. It was a little-known one and not very dangerous, so it was specially left there for the disciples to use for training.
This small relic is where Wang Tao's team is going.
“No wonder everyone’s faces are filled with excitement, it turns out they are out treasure hunting.” Lu Xun thought to himself.
Generally speaking, unless something is too valuable and needs to be handed over to the sect in exchange for a reward, everything else you find yourself belongs to you.
Other sects are not so generous to their disciples. After all, the ruins are the sect’s property. They are just for you to develop, not to take things from them.
But the Demon Sect has always been casual. How much you can get depends on your ability, and they will not interfere too much.
When he heard that it was such a small relic, Lu Xun became even less interested.
He is the elder of this group of disciples. An elder should act like an elder. There is no need to compete for resources with these poor juniors.
If he had this much free time, he might as well go to the players to gain some experience points.
With this "kind" mentality, Lu Xun actually triggered the task.
"[Ding! You have triggered the mission: escort.]"
He was stunned for a moment, chose to receive it, and then looked at the content of the task.
The mission was simple. If they encountered dangers that were difficult to resolve while exploring the ruins, he would rush over to provide support.
If they successfully complete the exploration, the mission will be invalid.
The mission reward is 10,000 experience points.
This type of task is also a relatively common faction task in "Sky Dust".
For example, sometimes if a group of Demon Sect disciples are in danger around you, if you are not far away, a faction mission will suddenly pop up asking you to rush to support them.
“What a dog game. With this kind of mission rules, if ordinary players received a mission, they would hope that something bad would happen to these people.” Lu Xun complained in his mind.
But he is different. He doesn't care about these 10,000 experience points and hopes that they can complete the trial smoothly.
Currently, Lu Xun only wants to reap the benefits, then reach level 30, and then complete the promotion mission.
"Tell me the specific location of where you are going." Lu Xun said to Wang Tao.
After all, the other party was an inner sect deacon, and he looked very reliable and trustworthy, so Wang Tao immediately told the specific location.
Lu Xun could actually locate it in the task interface, but he thought it would be better to ask in person.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Lu Xun returned to the backyard and continued drinking.
There is still half a jar of spirit wine left to drink, and it cannot be wasted.
…
After buying everything, Wang Tao's team went to the backyard to inform Lu Xun, and after paying respectful salute, they left Lai Fu Restaurant.
There's no way, who told him that the appearance of the White Emperor is too immortal, plus this is a new identity and no one is familiar with him, which adds a touch of mystery, giving people the illusion that this senior is a master.
At this time, the crow on Lu Xun's shoulder landed on the table, stupidly poked its head towards the wine jar, and then looked at Lu Xun, as if asking: "Can I have some?"
Lu Xun found it interesting that a crow actually wanted to drink, so he untied the cloth tied around its mouth.
The strange thing is that today's crow did not swear for the first time!
Normally, it would say "chicken", "sweet rain", "knock on the door", but at this moment, it was silent.
“This is strange, could it be that he is starting to be polite?” Lu Xun thought to himself.
He smiled and said, "Drink it."
The crow grabbed the jar of wine directly, lifted it up, and poured it into its mouth in big gulps.
A crow is drinking here, the scene is a bit incongruous no matter how you look at it.
Lu Xun didn't notice it at all, and it actually drank up half of the jar of spirit wine.
"Damn it!" Lu Xun was anxious and quickly caught it to check.
The spirit crow is too weak. Given its physique, if it drinks half a jar of spirit wine, something bad will happen!
After all, spiritual wine is brewed from spiritual herbs, so it is still very nutritious.
Shopkeeper Wang only drank two small cups and was already drunk. Would this crow drink itself to death?
“It’s been so long, and I haven’t stewed you yet. You won’t have to have an extra meal with tears tonight, right?” Lu Xun said in his heart.
Be a brother of beer duck, Lingjiu Crow?
But he checked again and again and found that Ling Ya was fine. He still had a dull look on his face and was not even slightly drunk.
"This doesn't make sense." Lu Xun was puzzled.
And even stranger things are yet to come.
