Chapter 130: 130. (Plain and Boring)
Translator: 549690339
Lu Xun casually brought up the paper crane, which in truth, was a test to see if this crane was a standard feature among us mountain folks.
At that time, Third Senior Brother did say that once Lin Chan’s cultivation reaches the Initial Realm, he would gift her one.
Now, I have also reached the Initial Realm. Though Third Senior Brother didn’t mention it at the time, shouldn’t he prepare one for me too?
Yes, he was longing for this big bird.
Ask yourself, who doesn’t love big birds?
Although Third Senior Brother looks like a farmer, his mind is sophisticated. He probably guessed Lu Xun’s little thoughts, so he said with a smile, “This paper crane was refined by me. Tomorrow, I will help Little Junior Brother refine one, and then teach you a set of Charm Controlling Techniques.”
“How could I possibly accept that, thanks, Third Senior Brother!” Lu Xun quickly expressed his gratitude with a salute.
After thanking him, he couldn’t help but ask another question: “Third Senior
Brother, is it hard… to refine this paper crane?”
Zhuge Lai Fu thought that Lu Xun was worried about causing trouble for himself. Feeling a little guilty, he waved his hand and said, “It’s not difficult. It won’t take much time.”
Lu Xun immediately seized the opportunity and said, “Third Senior Brother, I’m actually very interested in the Path of Artifact Refining. Since it turns out the paper crane isn’t difficult to make, why not teach me the Refining Method as well?”
It was at this moment that Mao Nanbei, who was munching away, started to pay attention and asked: “Little Junior Brother, wouldn’t it be easier if Third Senior Brother just makes one for you? Learning to refine artifacts is time-consuming. Plus, you only need one flying treasure!”
Looking at her cat ears, Lu Xun really wanted to yank them hard!
You little brat, you don’t know anything. The paper crane is so outstanding and incredibly beautiful, it’s bound to cause an uproar among the sand-sculpture players!
This fashion level mount sure brings in sales.
Whoever rides it will turn heads among all players!
Moreover, it’s not just a flashy object, it’s actually a decent flying treasure. Surely, I can make a fortune from it!
Players can’t resist such glamorous things!
Who wouldn’t want their own big bird?
“Since Little Junior Brother wants to learn, I’ll help you gather some materials tomorrow. Then, I’ll teach you how to refine it so you can get some practice.” The Third Senior Brother gave a hearty smile. He didn’t refuse.
This paper crane is a novelty that he himself researched and developed. Lu Xun’s fondness for it certainly delighted him.
This also made Lu Xun believe that the Third Brother—who loves new things— will be a great help in tricking players!
Third Brother is good at tinkering with lots of odds and ends, and there are probably many treasures like the paper crane among his creations.
“In the future, when I have free time, I should pay closer attention to Third Brother’s inventions. They might be my ticket to a fortune!” Lu Xun made up his mind.
What pleased him the most was the fact that since Third Brother was going to teach him, he must have prepared a batch of practice materials for him.
After all, refining wouldn’t come instantly; it required countless practice sessions.
After refining a few trash objects, one could gradually master the skills.
But Lu Xun was different, he could just rely on his experience points and learn everything in one go. 𝔣𝔯𝔢𝔢𝔴𝔢𝖇𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔢𝔩.𝖈𝔬𝖒
Although there would be a failure rate, the paper crane wasn’t a particularly advanced item, so the failure rate shouldn’t be too high.
By then, he could convert the materials Third Brother prepared for his practice into a large number of finished products!
“Eh! Why are these thoughts bubbling up uncontrollably from the bottom of my heart?”
Lu Xun, while sipping his tea and glancing at Third Brother, thought to himself: “As the third senior of the back mountain and a great cultivator who has practiced for many years, and who is also proficient in formations, talisman, and artifact refining – all three of these undeniably consume a lot of materials. But talisman and magical weapons can also make a lot of money.
Judging from this, Third Brother should be… very rich?”
His guess was spot on. Despite his plain appearance and seemingly agriculturist demeanor, Zhuge Lai Fu, the Third Brother with squinty eyes, is actually one of the richest people in the entire Demon Sect!
You can’t include the unknowing nobles in this. In terms of wealth, probably only Shen Yan from the entire Demon Sect can compete with Third Brother.
Shen Ludan, however, is rather tight-fisted… ahem, let’s call it frugal, just to save him some face.
Third Elder Brother, on the other hand, relied on his own skills!
The trinkets he casually crafted and the charms he swiftly drew could fetch a handsome price.
Whether they were used within the sect or sold to the outside world, they were always in high demand!
Whenever Mao Nanbei ran short of spirit stones, he would go to Third Elder Brother for help. A tiny bit of relief from Third Elder Brother would be enough for Mao Nanbei to splurge for a while.
At this thought, a warm smile appeared on Lu Xun’s face.
As everyone knows, the life of the rich is incredibly simple and dull.
If Third Elder Brother is so wealthy and I don’t help him spend a bit, am I even human?
Having made up his mind, the smile on Lu Xun’s face became increasingly radiant.
The very next day, he got up early.
When Lin Chan woke up to cook porridge, she found that her master was already bustling in the kitchen preparing breakfast.
Little Mute was delighted about her Master’s sudden emergence from seclusion. As Lu Xun was making omelettes, he said, “Today, your master will show you his skills. Just wait and enjoy your meal.”
Lin Chan nodded her head obediently and stood aside. Whenever Lu Xun needed ingredients, he’d tell her, and Little Mute would scurry over to get them. She was particularly obedient and sensible.
“Little Chan, I asked your master yesterday, and your broken sword is called Partridge Sky,” Lu Xun said, stirring the eggs. “Do you understand those words?”
Lin Chan shook her head. She knew these three characters seemed to be the name of a verse pattern, but she didn’t know how to write the first two characters.
“I’ll write them down for you later,” Lu Xun said with a smile.
Lin Chan nodded vigorously in response.
After all the omelettes were made, Lu Xun looked at Lin Chan standing by his side and said, “Little Chan, have you grown taller?”
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and measured her height with his palm, “You really have grown a bit taller!”
Although she was still skinny, she was no longer just skin and bones. Her little face had slightly rounded out, and she was a little taller.
And since she was still growing, it meant… she was still developing.
Perhaps in some time, she would become a tall and graceful young woman.
Thinking about it made him look forward to it.
The biggest pleasure in raising a child is precisely this.
Lin Chan stood on her tiptoes, indicating how tall she wanted to grow. Lu Xun glanced at her and laughed, “Absolutely! When the time comes, your Fourth Elder Brother will certainly be extremely envious! ”
Some people get car sick, and some people get seasick. The little Ioli, Mao Nanbei, got nauseous both from milk and long legs.
The omelettes made by Lu Xun quickly received unanimous praise from everyone in Small Study.
Even the master felt that as long as he didn’t look at him during their interactions, Lu Xun was a not bad disciple.
After the meal, Third Elder Brother went out for a bit, likely to the Demon Sect Treasury to exchange for artifact refining materials.
In the following days, he would go to the Demon Sect Treasury every few days to exchange for artifact refining materials.
Third Elder Brother couldn’t help but wonder: “Little Junior Brother seems not to have much talent in artifact refining, why has he refined dozens of paper cranes but still not produced a finished product?”
