BXBX NOVEL Chapter 113 - 113: 113, [Where is the promised apprentice?]
“Cave confinement?” Lu Xun was taken aback.
Although the master had asked, “What do you think?”, after suggesting the confinement, it felt as though he had already made up his mind.
Seeing that Lu Xun didn’t respond immediately, he added on his own, “Let’s just go with it then.”
After saying that, he glanced at Zhuge Lai Fu and said, “Third one, find Little Five a suitable place for confinement. Hmm… it’s better to be isolated and far from the mountaintop.” Lu Xun:
What on earth is going on?!
Meanwhile, Mao Nanbei who was sitting next to Lu Xun immediately exclaimed, “Does that mean we can’t eat the meals Junior Brother cooks anymore?”
The third senior brother glanced at the little girl. He wasn’t upset that Mao Nanbei preferred Lu Xun’s cooking and instead chuckled, “No problem. I will set up a kitchen at Little Junior Brother’s confinement site. Undoubtedly, there will be a need to exchange cooking techniques.”
The master reminisced about the dishes cooked by Lu Xun and nodded, “That sounds terrific.’
Lu Xun again:
He has to cook daily in confinement? What kind of life is this?!
But Lu Xun was a person with a positive attitude. Under such circumstances, he was thinking about maximizing his benefits. He wanted to trigger a task, so he asked:
“Master, how long should I be in this confinement and remain quiet in meditation?”
The master looked at the moon and said casually to Lu Xun, “Until you successfully step into the Initial Realm and master the basics of the Sword
Array.”
As soon as the master’s words fell, Lu Xun received a prompt to initiate a task.
“[Ding. Task Triggered: Confinement]”
“[Task Requirement: Raise character level to 11 and increase a Sword Array level to 1]”
“[Task Reward: 10,000 Experience Points]”
As expected, he had indirectly triggered a task, which somewhat balanced his feelings.
The task reward was also okay, providing 10,000 experience points, which wasn’t too shabby.
The third senior brother was efficient. He quickly set up a cave for Lu Xun. Then, out of nowhere, he managed to get a whole set of cooking utensils, clearly indicating his intentions to discuss cooking techniques.
The master and Mao Nanbei had returned to the Small Study on the back mountain, but the third senior brother and Lin Chan stayed with Lu Xun.
Zhuge Lai Fu thought for a moment and then told Lu Xun, “Little Junior
Brother, I will come over around noon to cook with you, teach you the Sword Array in the afternoon, then we will prepare dinner together. You can manage your own time for the rest.”
Lu Xun nodded in agreement. He thought this arrangement was pretty good.
“As it’s already late today, and you’ve just gained a new Cultivation Technique, why don’t you focus on studying it, Junior Brother? Tonight, I will the sort out what I know about the Sword Array. Tomorrow morning, I will teach you,” suggested Zhuge Lai Fu.
“That sounds good. Thank you, Third Senior Brother,” Lu Xun said to Zhuge Lai
“No need for formalities, Little Junior Brother.”
Clearly, the third senior was a kind-hearted person and Lu Xun rodes his Favorability right.
Zhuge Lai Fu was very concerned about Lu Xun’s cultivation. After chatting a bit more with him, he excused himself and left to organize the Sword Array.
The Little Lin Chan, on the other hand, stayed in the cave.
“Why don’t you go rest?” Lu Xun asked with a smile.
Lin Chan looked down, no movement to leave.
“Do you want to stay here to take care of me?” asked Lu Xun.
The little mute girl gently nodded.
“What a well-behaved and thoughtful disciple I have,” Lu Xun thought.
He reached out and ruffled Lin Chan’s hair, “Go back. Master doesn’t need your care.”
The cave didn’t even have a bed or blanket. Though he wasn’t afraid of the cold due to his Cultivation Base, Lin Chan was a different case. She had a lower Cultivation Base and a strange illness. He didn’t want her to get sick.
Lin Chan dared not disobey her master. After nodding, she quietly left the cave.
After everyone else had left, Lu Xun took out the unnamed Cultivation Technique and placed it on his lap.
Soon, a prompt popped up:[Learn?]
Without hesitation, Lu Xun chose [Yes]>.
Another prompt quickly popped up: [Learning this technique will consume 10 ,ooo Experience Points. Continue?]
“Ah, as expected! Even though it’s categorized as a Purple Level Technique before the 50th level, the Experience Points required to learn the technique are calculated as an Orange Level.” he thought.
This game! Such blatant *** greed!
Just like when he first learned the Orange Level Technique[Sword Cultivating Technique], it consumed 10,000 experience points. The Orange Level Cultivation Technique requires the same.
As for Purple Level Techniques, they only need 5,000 points. Blue Level requires even less, only 3,000 points. There’s a gigantic difference!
Lu Xun checked his Experience Points: he was left with 21,740 points. Even though it hurt, he silently clicked on [Confirm Learning].
After consuming 10,000 experience points, Lu Xun immediately learned the Unnamed Cultivation Technique. In the Cultivation Techniques column, another Cultivation Technique labeled as “Unnamed” had appeared in addition to the basic Cultivation Technique “Qi Consumption Method”.
“Huh, I can name it myself?” Lu Xun was a bit surprised, but he didn’t know much about the Unnamed Cultivation Technique yet. He decided to practice it a few times before giving it a name.
What he was mainly concerned about now was — how many experience points does it need to level up this Unnamed Cultivation Technique?
Is it calculated as a Purple Level Cultivation Technique, or as an Orange Level?
Yes, depending on the level of the Cultivation Techniques, the amount of Experience Points required to level up is different.
Generally, higher-level Cultivation Techniques are stronger, but the price to be paid is higher!
For some ordinary players, the sources of Experience Points are limited. Even if you give them an Orange Level Cultivation Technique, chances are, they won’t be able to level it up. In this case, high-level Cultivation Techniques aren’t beneficial, they’re actually dragging them down.
Before level 10, basic Cultivation Techniques like “Qi Consumption Technique” and “Refining Qi Method” don’t make much difference. So before level 10, the Experience Points consumed by the players when leveling up are basically the same. After level 10, there will be a huge gap.
Just consuming 10,000 Experience Points to learn the technique made Lu Xun a little apprehensive.
If before the 50th level, every level’s required Experience Points are calculated based on the Orange Level Cultivation Technique, they will waste many Experience Points!
The wasted Experience Points accumulated would be a frightening figure!
The lowest-level Yellow Cultivation Technique requires 10,000 Experience Points to go from level 10 to 11.
Blue Level requires 15,000.
Purple Level requires 20,000.
How much the Orange Level requires is unknown, because no one has practiced it before, but one can estimate that it should be about 25,000.
The more levels you attain, the more Experience Points are needed, and the gap will grow larger like a snowball!
“Surely it won’t be that heartless,” Lu Xun rubbed his hands together, clicking on [Upgrade Method Level] to check the prompt to see how many Experience
Points were needed.
“[Ding! Consume 50,000 Experience Points to level up?]”
“What!?”
“***! Gan Linliang! How much did you say!?”
Lu Xun stood up, and with a smack, threw the pamphlet of the Unnamed Cultivation Technique on the ground.
He looked up to the sky and howled, wanting to cry but having no tears.
“The master tricked me! ‘
