Chapter 350: 350, Clear Luck

“The Sword Qi is Near,” the unparalleled sword of the current era.

It was originally an extremely high-grade magical weapon, nurtured to its limit by the world’s number one sword cultivator, Yan Li, using an orange level Sword Cultivating Technique.

Now, its strength is so terrifying that it cannot be measured anymore.

According to Mao Nanbei’s conjecture, “The Sword Qi is Near” may not be weaker than Senior Yanli himself just before he embarked on his life-or-death cultivation trial!

When such an unparalleled sword emitted a sword howl, not only did every sword-related magical weapon in the Demon Sect bow down, but the spirits in every magical weapon remained silent, feeling absolute fear from it!

The little sword in Lu Xun’s Sword Heart was still defiant, but only within its heart, it was not as lively as before.

Clearly, even it was afraid of “The Sword Qi is Near”!

Now, the restrictions on Hidden Mountain had been lifted.

After “The Sword Qi is Near” emitted a bright sword howl, a fearsome pressure descended from the mountain top, leaving the disciples of the Demon Sect at the foot of the mountain gasping for breath.

Ji Li, who was standing on the steps, experienced this most profoundly because she was the closest to “The Sword Qi is Near”.

This sudden change alarmed Yue Heshan.

“What’s going on with Master’s sword today?” Yue Heshan was somewhat confused.

Lu Xun held the sword sheath in his hand and gently tapped it with his fingers.

Two black ropes on the sword sheath began to sway, followed by a rapid forward swing.

This action was like a housewife threatening her henpecked husband across the air, making a gesture of slapping him.

In an instant, the sword howling sound disappeared without a trace, and “The Sword Qi is Near” which was floating at the top of the mountain retreated slightly…

– It was defeated.

Lu Xun glanced at the sword sheath and whispered, “Shall I tell Elder Gui about you later, and bring you to Hidden Mountain to meet it?”

As soon as he said this, “The Sword Qi is Near” at the top of the mountain eagerly leaned forward, seeming very expectant.

Unexpectedly, the black rope on the sword sheath floated up, swinging left and right, as if shaking its head.

“The Sword Qi is Near,” floating at the top of the mountain, violently shook. Its world seemed to lose all color at once.

Lu Xun’s mouth twitched slightly, he felt like he was watching a soap opera.

It felt like a husband trying to retain his wife, but the wife was determined to divorce.

Do the spirits of the tools have emotional entanglements these days?

He really couldn’t figure it out, the sword sheath was clearly not temperamental when in his hand.

Clingy, expressive, and loved to play cute.

Could it be that “The Sword Qi is Near” was once a lousy sword?

“Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore, it’s none of my business.” Lu Xun said to himself.

He just waved at Ji Li with a smile and said, “Don’t be afraid, it’s okay, let’s continue climbing.”

“Alright.” Ji Li nodded and began to climb.

After she walked three steps forward, she was enveloped by the thick mist on Hidden Mountain.

If people at the foot of the mountain were only using their eyes, they could no longer see her figure.

The reality proved that the cute and talented girls like Ji Li are very popular with magical weapons.

Though she wasn’t like Lin Chan, causing all sword-related magical weapons to tremble with excitement when climbing, but on her way up, there were still quite a few magical weapons that showed her good intent.

All kinds of magical weapons were present, sword-related ones were not in the minority.

“Lu Xun said to get a good sword if the conditions allow,” Ji Li muttered to herself.

Every word Lu Xun said, she would remember in her heart.

The words of the one in her heart, once spoken, they were remembered in heart.

Ji Li looked around, interested in every magic weapon on Hidden Mountain, after all… she hadn’t seen much of the world yet.

She had never encountered such a plethora of magical weapons…

“Why is there a bellyband!” Ji Li was startled.

The bellyband looked good, just a bit small.

She was like visiting a museum, walking and looking. If she spotted a good-looking magical weapon, she would linger for a while.

Being a last-stage look chaser, she likes handsome things.

Before she knew it, she had reached the area with blue equipment.

Most of the disciples of Demon Sect were satisfied if they could gain something from this area.

When she entered the area of superior spiritual tools, a piece of defensive magical weapon caught her attention.

This magical weapon was clearly also interested in Ji Li.

At the foot of the mountain, Lu Xun felt a twitch at the corner of his mouth when he sensed this.

Because this magical weapon was his signature magical weapon when he played the Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero character – “First Encounter”.

It was a cyan-blue cloak, very beautiful and ethereal.

Its look was very attractive and it gave a handsome and secure feeling when worn.

Lu Xun acquired it when he reached level 52 in some ruins. He guessed that its previous Demon Sect master must have died in the ruins.

However, when he climbed the mountain in this life, this once-signature piece of equipment didn’t react to him at all and did not choose him.

Not like the first encounter.

“Actually, it wouldn’t be bad if Ji Li chose it,” Lu Xun thought to himself.

After all, it was a cloak he had once worn. He knew very well that it provided impressive defense and was no weaker than a purple-tier piece in certain aspects.

Moreover, the thought of Ji Li wearing his old cloak in the future felt quite exciting!

Ji Li stood in front of the “First Encounter” item, also seeming hesitant.

“This cloak looks so good. If Lu Xun were to wear it, it would certainly look great, wouldn’t it?” Ji Li thought to herself.

Indeed, the first person she thought of was Lu Xun.

Then, she looked up again.

On the way here, Lu Xun told her that, excluding “The Sword Qi is Near”, there were only five Immortal Level Magic Treasures on Hidden Mountain.

Since he began his climb, he hadn’t seen any other Demon Sect disciples take any of them.

After lingering there for a while, Ji Li began to continue her climb up the mountain.

“I really want to take this cloak and give it to Lu Xun, but he would definitely not accept it. Besides, it seems to be against the Sect rules,” Ji Li felt regretful.

She kept walking and eventually reached the 699th step.

The fog around her slowly dissipated, and she quickly saw the five purple-tier items Lu Xun had spoken of.

A relatively short sword, a long spear, a belt, a ring, and… a dice.

At the foot of Hidden Mountain, Yue Heshan looked at this dice, his gaze gentle, and he fell into deep reminiscence.

The figure he longed for day and night once again appeared in his mind.

In his ears, it seemed like he can once again hear the sounds of “Elder Brother Eleven” one after another.

Lu Xun noticed Yue Heshan’s unusual state and asked, “Master Yue, what’s wrong?”

Yue Heshan turned to Lu Xun and said, “Little Brother doesn’t know, but that dice is an heirloom from my wife.”

Hearing this, Lu Xun was somewhat surprised.

He then laughed and said, “Master has a total of 12 disciples. I am number eleven, and she was the youngest sister.”

“I always liked her in secret. I thought no one knew, but it turned out everyone knew, even the Master.”

“I still remember that day, she came to me with this dice, saying we should gamble. As long as my roll was higher than hers, she would be with me.”

“Little Brother, what do you think I rolled?” Yue Heshan asked.

“I’m not guessing your roll. I’m guessing she rolled a 1,” said Lu Xun.

At Lu Xun’s words, Yue Heshan fell into silence.

After a long time, he said, “I rolled a 2, she rolled a 6.”

“And then, under everyone’s scrutiny, she cheated by flipping the 6 to a 1.”

Yue Heshan looked at Lu Xun and laughed uproariously, “Little Brother, isn’t it funny? I, Yue Heshan, always lose at gambling. The only time I won, it was because the other party let me.”

He laughed and laughed until he was in tears.

Before his eyes, that beautiful figure seemed to appear again. He saw the beautiful girl bowing to him and said, “Elder Brother Eleven is amazing, your little sister admits defeat in the gamble!”

Since then, Yue Heshan was still a loser at the gambling table and his title as the Charitable Gambling King was well earned – he never won, and always failed spectacularly.

But he still loved gambling, always indomitable, never caring about his persistent losses.

Because that victory was worth exhausting all the luck in his life to him.

Watching him, Lu Xun thought, “Perhaps every time he gambles after that, he no longer wants to win.”

Above Hidden Mountain, Ji Li stood there, looking at these magic treasures with her mouth agape.

Each of these magic treasures exuded an extraordinary aura and hidden pressure.

The dice that triggered Yue Heshan’s memories was placed at the very front.

Quietly laying there, it didn’t give any response to Ji Li.

Although it didn’t choose Ji Li, she studied it for a long time.

Because she found it strange.

“Why are all the other numbers on this dice almost worn away, and only the 2 is still intact?” Ji Li wondered to herself.

She didn’t know that because Yue Heshan had bad luck that day, he rolled a 2.

She also didn’t know that the 2 on the dice was actually made of two 1s.

Put the two 1s together, and from another angle, they became “Eleven”.
