Chapter 2
“Furnace Tripod?” Upon hearing this, Lu Xun was slightly startled.
As a die-hard player of ‘Heavenly Earth’ and an online novel enthusiast, he couldn’t possibly not know what the meaning of a Furnace Tripod is.
There were some things you guys don’t know to cherish and just spend a mere few minutes every day to get it out, then wrap it up in tissue before throwing it into the bin. 1
However, for some heretical female cultivators, this thing was more precious. After all, a Furnace Tripod was better with more vigor.
The more vigorous the Furnace Tripod, the faster they cultivated!
Therefore, when Lu Xun heard these two words ‘Furnace Tripod’ come out of her mouth, his expression changed drastically, he turned to look at her and couldn’t help but think:
‘How could such a good thing be possible!?’ 1
In ‘Heavenly Earth’, there were actually quite a few players who chose this path of cultivation.
This was a game with very high degrees of freedom. So long as you were an adult, you could have many options to choose from. 4
However, this path of leveling up was also known as one of the worst starts, because it had a very low upper limit!
To depend on such a heretical way to level up and train… It would be really strange if the upper limit was high.
Moreover, interestingly, the person who was used as the Furnace Tripod would inevitably die once every three times whenever the cultivation technique was used, it would turn the person directly into a dried corpse! 1
The especially extremely dried kind, without a single drop left!
However, players had revival counts and could obviously play however they pleased. In the end, at worst they’d just trash the account and recreate a new one, but sadly, Lu Xun couldn’t do this.
Every revival count he had was extremely precious and valuable, he couldn’t just waste it like that.
Using his life to indulge her… it would really be somewhat too outrageous.
What would be worth it was that he would use one of his revival counts in exchange for a perfect start. He really disliked the low upper limit path of that cultivation technique.
Despite finding it a little bit interesting at the start, Lu Xun started to ponder over a plan to respond.
…
…
At this moment, while standing across Lu Xun, Ji Li was also racing with thoughts of her own.
Her father was surnamed Ji and her mother loved to eat pears1 so they named her Ji Li. 2
Her family was one that engaged in martial arts, hence they were a type of martial arts family, however, the gratitudes, grudges, love, and hate in Jianghu1 couldn’t possibly be clearly accounted for.
Her parents obtained a celestial family’s enchanted sword and cultivation technique by chance, but in some way, the news regarding it leaked out. Consequently, they were tragically exterminated by those who coveted both items they possessed, however, by some stroke of luck and effort, she managed to escape with both the sword and technique.
Not everyone in this world actually cultivated. In ‘Heavenly Earth’, one wasn’t strong before reaching level ten, everyone wasn’t too different from the practitioners of martial arts in Jianghu. The true start of one’s journey would be after level ten.
As for the book’s cultivation technique, it was actually a demonic cultivation technique spurned by orthodox cultivators.
The most important condition to cultivate it was that she would undeniably need a Furnace Tripod of the opposite sex.
How could a young and unmarried virgin woman like her be able to stand it!
She only had a modicum of knowledge regarding these matters, not to mention relying on doing ‘it’ to cultivate… after all, she was still only a sixteen-year-old lady.
However, she knew that her family must be avenged! She had such deep-seated hatred carved within her bones!
Another point that should be taken into account was that they were still hunting her, which is why she had to increase her strength without delay!
This demonic cultivation technique became her only reliance now!
As for the enchanted sword named Wedding Dress… she still didn’t have any proper cultivation and couldn’t expound its powers. It was at most just a sharper piece of ordinary metal that was also terribly heavy! 2
Which is why, a Furnace Tripod was what she currently needed the most.
However, how could such a matter be… be possible…
Her thoughts were wavering back and forth until the moment she saw Lu Xun.
“There’s actually a man with such looks in this world?” Ji Li’s little heart thumped repeatedly at first sight.
“He’s so handsome to such a degree, it seems like I wouldn’t be losing anything, I would probably even be profiting a little?”
Yes, Ji Li probably didn’t know it herself. But she was genuinely a pure sucker for appearances. 3
Her mother had once taught her that there were no good men in this world, since this was the case… What was wrong with finding a man who really looked appealing to her?
It seemed… somewhat reasonable?
‘After thinking about it carefully, taking into account my father’s mediocre martial arts… If he hadn’t been that good looking, how could my mother who excelled at martial arts possibly have married him?’
Moreover, her thoughts were extraordinarily simple. Even if a Furnace Tripod was truly needed, then she should at least find one that looked comfortable to her, right? What would she do if she was disgusted to the point of Qi Deviation while cultivating!
‘And! Would there possibly be a better looking man in front of her?’
‘Unbelievable! Impossible! Utterly non-existent!’
‘He’s already so limitlessly handsome…’
‘Besides, he seems to be a weak normal person… I can’t sense a shred of qi and strength on him.’
‘Hohoho… then isn’t this lady free to do whatever she pleases?’
‘It’ll be him then! I’ll hustle him away first and worry about the rest of the problems later!’
Ji Li pulled out the spiritual sword, Wedding Dress, and pointed it towards Lu Xun while unable to think of the right words to say.
After all, she was still a sixteen-year-old young lady.
She choked on her words for quite some time before she finally squeezed out words while blushing, “You going to obey or not?”
Lu Xun listened to her voice and tone, he became more certain that this was a rather immature girl, however, despite knowing this, he still couldn’t defeat her in his current state. He said with a forced smile, “Here? It wouldn’t be too good…”
After Ji Li heard this, her face was even redder to the point that it reached her ears.
‘Pei pei pei! How could they do it here!?’
‘But… how could a forced smile be so charming…’
Lu Xun on the other hand was staring blankly at the string of numbers that popped up besides the Ji Li who had such a late-stage appearance complex:
“Favorability +1!”
“Favorability +1!”
“Favorability +1!”
…
“Hmm, even favorability was brought over?” Lu Xun was shocked.
When he was a player, increasing an NPC’s favorability was quite difficult. Even if one broke a leg doing missions, it didn’t necessarily mean an assurance of even a single point of increase in favorability. The memories of repeatedly trying made him want to vomit.
What was worse was that many hidden missions required one’s favorability to reach a certain value before it could be unlocked. Moreover, it was rumored that after favorability reached a certain value, there would be a chance for some ‘stimulating’ events. 1
It couldn’t be helped at all! It was better to keep on trying honestly!
‘But what was happening right now? Why was favorability popping up like popcorn so easily?’
‘Was this precisely because my charisma that had been “1,” was now “10?”‘
Lu Xun was dumbfounded as he stared blankly at the sky.
Unknowingly, his action of looking up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle was also seen by Ji Li’s eyes.
‘Tsk, the line on his lower jaw isn’t bad at all.’
‘Tsk, the side view of his face is also quite good-looking.’
“Favorability +1… +1… +1…!”
Lu Xun: “???” 7
Although he still didn’t quite grasp what was going on for the time being, the sudden increase in favorability was a good thing anyhow, it proved that he himself could be relatively safer now.
However… he began to doubt whether or not he still encountered a problematic young lady.
Should he give her some chicken soup for the soul and call her back onto the right path?
Just as when he frowned in thought, Ji Li suddenly looked towards the east.
‘Dang it, those people are catching up again!’ She cried out inwardly.
She was sharp and agile. Lu Xun only saw an afterimage before he felt himself being picked up!
She used one hand to pick him up, it felt like someone who was holding their surfing board on their way to the sea…
Lu Xun could smell the faint scent on the young lady, he could only feel complicated on the inside.
“Damn it, I’ve run into an overpowering lady!”
JI Li tapped with the tip of her toe and ran directly north, although she was undoubtedly carrying Lu Xun, it was as if she wasn’t hindered at all.
What Lu Xun didn’t know was that his body weight of over 50kg wasn’t even heavier than the Wedding Dress sword.
‘Gulugulu…’ The strong fierce wind kept pouring into Lu Xun’s mouth, so he immediately shut his mouth.
Because of his current position, he managed to steal a glance at the Wedding Dress sword at such a close distance, the basic information on the Wedding Dress sword surfaced before his eyes.
“Sword Name: Wedding Dress (Yellow)” 1
“It’s actually a yellow-grade armament?” Lu Xun was slightly surprised.
No wonder the sword’s shape was so peculiar!
It wasn’t ordinary as expected! It was fully deserving to be something from the yellow-grade armaments.
And then, he looked up towards Ji Li again.
Due to his angle and because of certain obstructions, he could only see half of her face.
