Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 2 Legendary Talent
What the hell?
According to common sense, he should be resurrected at the resurrection point that he had bound long ago, instead of appearing in this somewhat inexplicable cave.
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He carefully observed the liquid he was soaking . It was as black as ink, and he could vaguely see some silver threads floating in it. Lu Qingshan sniffed, and a faint smell of decay and sourness passed into his nose.
As a veteran player who entered the game during the internal testing period of "Jiutian", Lu Qingshan quickly came to his own conclusion.
This seems to be the lowest grade, first-grade strong corpse fluid, an auxiliary spiritual fluid used by magic cultivators to refine corpse puppets.
Corpse puppet, that is a memory from long ago.
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but be dazed for a moment.
The Rebellion of Corpses and Puppets was the main storyline of "Nine Heavens" during the internal testing phase. If he had not happened to have participated in the internal testing phase, he might not have known about it.
When the public beta of "Nine Heavens" was officially launched, the Corpse Rebellion, as a prelude to the story, had already ended long ago. As a player who had just entered the game at that time, he did not actually participate too much in the main storyline of this beta version, and just experienced it in a cursory manner.
In fact, it is not just the Corpse Rebellion. Players with low strength have not been qualified to truly participate in the plot in the main storyline of the first few versions, and can only follow the NPCs and watch the fun.
"etc……"
"Wasn't this thing completely banned by human cultivators after the Corpse Puppet Rebellion plot ended?"
"No, that's not important. What's important is, where is my cultivation? Also, why am I here? Where is this?"
Lu Qingshan felt that his brain was not enough.
Suddenly, countless images exploded deep in his mind like an atomic bomb, making him dizzy.
Lu Qingshan's breathing became rapid, his pupils shrank slightly, as if he had lost his mind.
I remember.
He remembered.
His name is Lu Qingshan. He was born in Qingzhou and is a member of the Lu family, a family of immortal cultivators in Qingzhou.
But he did not become a cultivator because of the blood of a cultivator family, because his mother was just an ordinary mortal, a woman his cultivator father found for fun.
In the world of immortal cultivation where the strong prey on the weak and the strong are respected , his father, a romantic cultivator, obviously did not attach much importance to the so-called blood relationship. In fact, his father had too many offspring to take care of them all.
Without much talent for cultivation, he became a middle-level manager of the family's secular industries. While transporting goods, he was attacked by monks. When he woke up, he was already in this strange cave.
wrong!
Lu Qingshan shuddered all over and kept reminding himself in his mind.
That’s not the case. I am Lu Qingshan, but I am not Lu Qingshan from the Qingzhou Lu family. I am a citizen of a country called China in another time and space.
But the memory in his mind told him.
"You are Lu Qingshan. Whether you are Lu Qingshan from Qingzhou or Lu Qingshan from Huaxia, you are still me."
Lu Qingshan was in a state of confusion.
He already understood everything.
Yes, he traveled through time and space and came to "Nine Heavens", the game he had fought for for ten years.
"Jiutian" is the most popular holographic virtual reality game in the interstellar era. It has been at the top of the interstellar game list for ten years since its launch. At its peak, the number of simultaneous online users exceeded 100 million, and the number of registered users reached a terrifying figure of 3 billion.
The background of the game is a fairy world. The map is so large that even before Lu Qingshan traveled through it, the player had not yet completed the exploration. The plot is so rich that even after ten years of opening the server, the player has only reached the middle stage of the game.
As a full-time player who makes a living from "Jiu Tian", Lu Qingshan has experienced the changes in various versions of the game and is considered to be well-known among players. It is easy for him to gain over a million views when he does a live broadcast.
"The Corpse Rebellion means that we are still in the Chang'an era."
Lu Qingshan had a solemn expression. Chang'an Chang'an, this era name originally meant long-term peace, but who could have thought that the most chaotic period in the world so far was brewing at the end of this era name that was hoped for long-term stability.
The Corpse Puppets Rebellion was the precursor to the turmoil that would follow in this world for who knows how many years.
Thinking of this, a feeling of fatigue surged into Lu Qingshan's heart. This turmoil was about to sweep across the entire sky. No one, whether cultivators or mortals, could avoid this ubiquitous chaos and fighting.
Finally, Lu Qingshan let out a long breath and gradually calmed down. It was not because he had made up his mind, but because of an excellent traditional concept of the Chinese people:
Now that I’m here, what else can I do?
Now that we are here, let’s make the best of it.
Fortunately, I traveled back to the last years of Chang'an before the public beta of the game, when unrest was still brewing. Based on my understanding of the plot, I still have room to survive.
If I were to travel directly to the plot line after the battle with the Blood Demon Lord, as a mortal without any cultivation, I would be completely in the dark and would have to wait for death.
"The last years of Chang'an, the last years of Chang'an..."
Like a flash of lightning across the night sky, Lu Qingshan suddenly realized something. His heart tightened and he couldn't help but look up and look around.
As a game that has been popular for ten years, "Jiutian" not only has an extremely balanced and interesting combat system, but also has a great feature: a grand plot with a great sense of immersion and NPCs whose intelligence is like that of real people.
As a player who experienced that magnificent plot, he had too many regrets that he wanted to make up for, but he had no chance.
But now, I have returned to the time when it all began and become the prophet of this world.
He was sure that no one in the world knew better than him what was about to happen.
Perhaps, if we have another chance, we will have a chance to make up for those regrets?
Lu Qingshan's heart was pounding, and at this moment, it was as if something was ignited in his body.
…
"But..." Lu Qingshan shook his head and glanced at the little heads scattered around: "The most urgent thing is to study how to get out of this situation first."
He is just an ordinary person now, and it is not an easy task for him to save himself from the demon cultivators.
The strong corpse fluid he was soaked in was only the lowest grade, first-class strong corpse fluid, which meant that this demon cultivator was just a cultivator at the Qi Refining level, the lowest level of cultivators.
But no matter what, a monk is still a monk after all, and he is definitely not someone that an ordinary person like me can easily deal with.
Suddenly, Lu Qingshan was stunned.
Some lights appeared before his eyes that shouldn't have appeared.
It was a waterfall-like stream of data flashing before his eyes. Countless numbers 0 and 1 kept shuttling across his retina, transforming into blue lights.
Finally, the data flow stabilized.
A message appeared before his eyes.
"You have been immersed in [Strong Corpse Fluid] (Level 1) for three months, and have acquired the talent [Thick Skin and Flesh]."
This is?!
Lu Qingshan's head was buzzing. As a veteran Internet user in the interstellar era, it was impossible for him to say that he didn't understand what this was.
Lu Qingshan reacted immediately.
"Attribute panel, attribute panel!"
Lu Qingshan kept shouting in his heart.
A light blue screen of light then appeared in Lu Qingshan's mind:
Lu Qingshan (Human)
Occupation: None
Skill: None
Rank: None
Experience: 0
Free attribute points: 0
Personal attributes: Strength 1, Agility 1, Mana 1, Spirit 1, Charm 1, Endurance 1
Health: 20/20

Talent: [Born Sword] (Legendary): As a born sword, you have a talent for swordsmanship that is far superior to that of ordinary people. As a natural swordsman, the experience points required to learn and upgrade any sword skills will be permanently reduced by 30%. At the same time, you will be able to use any sword and learn any sword skills without restrictions.
[Thick Skin and Flesh]: Although long-term immersion in strong corpse fluid has corrupted your soul, it has also greatly improved your physical fitness, granting you an extra +10 HP and reducing the first-grade spell damage you receive by 20%.
Skills: [Sky Eye Technique] (Universal): Detects information about people. The greater the difference in cultivation, the less information can be obtained.
…
This is the character attribute panel of "Jiu Tian".
Looking at the virtual data projected in his mind, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
As a veteran player of "Jiutian", with this attribute panel and an understanding of the world's plot, it seems that taking control of your own destiny and... changing the fate of some people is not... that difficult.
