Chapter 286:Monument of West State (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

The following day, Lu Xun and Lin Chan rose early, preparing to set off.

The Moon in the Well was located quite far from Qingling City, within the West State region, and the journey would take a substantial amount of time.

If memory served correctly, Ye Sui’an was also known as the most handsome man in West State.

Last night, Lu Xun had quickly elevated his level to 29. As for the remaining Experience Points, he decided to keep them for emergencies.

Ji Li was also deliberately restraining her cultivation base. She could breakthrough to the second realm at any time, but she was not in a hurry.

For cultivators, building the foundation for the Initial Realm and the First Realm was like setting up a solid base for constructing a house. The more stable the foundation, the higher they could build the house.

Ji Li had just finished her second trial of the Turtle’s Longevity and was still in the stage of comprehension.

It would be best to fully understand this insight before undergoing the breakthrough.

Therefore, Lu Xun planned for her to have her breakthrough before heading to the Moon in the Well. That way, the Moon in the Well would serve as the ideal place to practice and stabilize her realm after her breakthrough.

Seeing that Lu Xun had planned everything for her, Ji Li was more than willing to go along.

After finishing their breakfast, the two officially set off, flying in the direction of West State.

Inside Lai Fu Restaurant, Mr. Wang Pan, the boss, watched the figures of Lu Xun and Ji Li disappear into the distance, a feeling of emptiness overtaking him.

He had mustered up the courage several times, wanting to chat with this exceptional figure from the Demon Sect about Lin Chan’s conditions, yet he didn’t dare to.

He was originally just a waiter in the restaurant who had been promoted to boss in recent years. His line of work required astute observation and shrewd thinking.

He had thought several times that even if he did ask, it would be in vain.

This important person wasn’t just an average citizen of Qingling City, nor was he a school teacher.

If he really was just a school teacher, Wang Pan could have presented him with gifts and built relationships.

The difference between them was vast. Brashly bringing up Lin Chan’s conditions, and then pleading like an old father for him to take good care of her, would seem laughable and might even incur his displeasure.

Overreaching oneself was never a good thing.

“Forget it, forget it. Mr. Mo and the man who always brings Spiritual Wine did say that Lin Chan is doing well in the Demon Sect,” he told himself.

With this thought, he went to the backyard and started tidying up.

Soon, he found an envelope laid on the stone table under the tree in the backyard.

The envelope read: For Mr. Wang Pan to open personally.

If it weren’t for the words on the envelope, Wang Pan would never have dared to open it.

He looked up at the sky and glanced around him. After a few seconds of hesitation, he slowly opened the envelope.

Inside the envelope, there was only a small piece of paper.

The paper only had one sentence.

“Lin Chan is fine, don’t worry. – Lu Xun of the Demon Sect.”

Mr. Wang Pan’s hands trembled as he carefully refolded the paper, put it neatly away, and then placed it back into the envelope.

At this moment, he understood that the initially frail mute girl had truly had a great turn of fortune. Her master was a kind and approachable person.

He must keep this envelope safe.

After doing all this, he looked up at the sky, looking in the direction that Lu Xun had flown off in.

Then, he slowly bowed holding the envelope in both hands and remained in that position for a long time.

As the paper crane flew through the sky, a man and a woman could not maintain silence all the time. For Ji Li, just looking at Lu Xun’s face could occupy her for an entire day.

Currently, Lu Xun was piloting the paper crane while recounting to Ji Li the story that all transmigrators must tell – “My Tale of Becoming Exceptionally Powerful at the Start and Being Titled for Five Hundred Years”.

Right, it was also known as “Journey to the West”.

Coincidentally, Lu Xun and Ji Li’s destination was also in the west. As the two of them headed westward, the story seemed to fit the occasion.

Unexpectedly, after Lu Xun had told a part of the story, Ji Li interjected: “Lu Xun, did you hear this story from a storyteller at the restaurant too?”

“What do you mean by ‘too’? Have you heard it before?” Lu Xun asked.

“Yes, I heard it several times when I was dining at the restaurant. A storyteller there used to tell it,” Ji Li explained.

Lu Xun:

Those damn players! Have they already made “Journey to the West” so well-known?

It seemed that it wouldn’t be long before knights and cultivators cried out “I will kill every step I take, without leaving a trail for a thousand miles” as they fought their enemies.

He looked at Ji Li and asked, “Since you’ve heard most of it, why didn’t you stop me when I was telling it?”

“It’s not the same. I prefer listening to you tell it,” Ji Li answered.

Lu Xun:

Alright, alright. Since you’ve already heard most of “Journey to the West”, I’ll switch. Hmm… How about “The Tale of 105 Men and 3 Fallen Women”?

In this way, time flew by quickly. A few days later, the two arrived in West State.

As expected of the territory of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, not only sword cultivators but even ordinary martial artists preferred to practice swordsmanship.

Even aristocratic young masters who didn’t know martial arts wore longswords as decorative accessories.

Children’s favorite toys were wooden swords.

Here, the sword was the trendiest thing!

This made Lu Xun wonder if, as a sword person, he was the trendiest man in West State.

Anyway, for all the sword cultivators in the world, there was one must-visit place when visiting West State, the Boundary Monument of West State.

On the Boundary Monument of West State, there were four large characters:

Eternal Glory of Swordsmanship!

Legend has it that these four characters were personally inscribed by the founding master of Sword Mountain. They had a long history and contained profound mysteries.

In fact, over the years, numerous talented sword cultivators had gained insights after observing the monument.

There were even mortals who had learned cultivation methods and sword techniques after observing the monument!

Therefore, this monument, together with the Divine Sword of One Sword Mountain and the Sword Jade of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, were known as the three great treasures of West State.

However, the latter two were managed by the Swordsmen of One Sword Mountain and the Law Propagator of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, making it impossible for ordinary people to even see them.

The monument, on the other hand, was there for all to see, regardless of whether they were from West State or from Sword Mountain.

Even a mortal was allowed.

And they didn’t even charge a fee…

As for whether one could obtain an opportunity or gain something from it, it was entirely up to the individual’s capabilities.

Lu Xun greatly admired this broad-mindedness and grandeur.

Perhaps, as written on the monument, the founding master of Sword Mountain wished for nothing but the eternal glory of swordsmanship!

Since Lu Xun had come to West State, he naturally brought Ji Li to see the monument.

When they flew near the monument, he retracted the paper crane and switched to walking.

This was an unwritten rule. It was forbidden to fly in front of the monument and to look down upon it.

This was a rule voluntarily adhered to by sword cultivators all over the world to show their respect.

If anyone dared to fly here, they would surely incur public wrath!
