Chapter 29: Changes in the Various Worlds

Inside the chat group.

【System Notification: Yue Buqun uploaded a designated red packet, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" musical score.】

【Yue Buqun: @Lu Qingshan, Group Owner, this is a piece for zither and flute ensemble created by Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang over several years. I listened to it and indeed found it quite excellent, so I thought to offer it to you for your appreciation!】

【Pang Bo: The Smiling, Proud Wanderer tune? Old Yue, you're impressive! Has Liu Zhengfeng over there already started the hand-washing ceremony? I wonder how you managed to get hold of this Smiling, Proud Wanderer score?】

Pang Bo had originally read "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," so he was still very interested in the events happening in Yue Buqun's world.

On the other side, Yue Buqun, who was waiting for Lu Qingshan to claim the red packet, felt a stir in his heart upon seeing Pang Bo's words.

【Yue Buqun: Actually, I had long thought of preparing a suitable gift for the Group Owner. However, since I, Yue, and the Huashan Sect possess nothing of value, after much deliberation, I thought to offer this "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" tune, which appeared in the original plot, to the Group Owner!】

Seeing that Yue Buqun had answered a question that wasn't asked, Pang Bo immediately understood the other's intention.

However, Pang Bo was not angry; after all, even he wanted to cling to the Group Owner's thigh, and since the world where Yue Buqun resides is of a lower level, it is even more necessary to tightly embrace the Group Owner's thigh.

【Pang Bo: Old Yue, the Group Owner isn't here right now, so stop flattering him for now. First, tell me how you got hold of this "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" score. How are Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang? Did they commit suicide?】

【Yue Buqun: These are my heartfelt words; how can they be called flattery? I obtained this "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" score at the hand-washing ceremony of my senior brother Liu Zhengfeng. At that time, Qu Yang happened to be hiding there. I revealed his whereabouts, then asked the two of them to perform a piece. Finding it quite good, I requested a copy of the score from them! As for my senior brother Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, they are currently on their way back to the Huashan Sect with me!】

【Pang Bo: They two are returning to the Huashan Sect with you? Did the Songshan Sect and others not stop you?】

【Yue Buqun:...】

【Yue Buqun: Brother Pang Bo, you are underestimating me too much! Although my current strength is at the bottom within our chat group, I have already broken through to the Grandmaster realm!】

【Yue Buqun: At that time, I merely displayed a slight amount of strength and easily defeated the crowd from the Songshan Sect. As for the others of the Five Great Sword Sects, I attracted them with the sword techniques of the Five Great Sword Sects left behind on the Slope of Reflecting on Mistakes, and invited them to gather at Huashan in three months to discuss this matter together!】

【Cao Cao: Mr. Yue is joking! The one with the strength at the bottom of the chat group should be me! However, this time Mr. Yue inviting the others of the Five Great Sword Sects to gather at Huashan in three months is probably to reclaim the position of Alliance Leader of the Five Great Mountains!】

【Yue Buqun: Hahaha, Lord Meng De is joking! I, Yue, am merely a person of the Jianghu; how can I compare to you, Lord Meng De, a warlord of a region? As for the Alliance Leader of the Five Great Mountains, I did indeed value it highly before, but since joining the chat group, this thought in my heart has become quite faint.】

【Yue Buqun: The reason for gathering the others of the Five Great Sword Sects on Huashan this time is simply to completely crush the Songshan Sect's conspiracy to merge the Five Great Sword Sects!】

【Cao Cao: Perhaps there is also the matter of the Mo Sect? Mr. Yue, this time you are bringing that Qu Yang back to Huashan; I fear the people of the Mo Sect will swarm there as well!】

【Yue Buqun: I indeed have this intention! Decades ago, our predecessors of the Five Great Sword Sects failed to completely destroy the Mo Sect. Now that I, Yue, possess sufficient strength, I naturally wish to make an attempt!】

【Pang Bo: You two are simply too wordy! @Yue Buqun, Old Yue, I am also quite interested in that "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" score. Can you send me a copy as well?】

【Yue Buqun: Of course, no problem! However, I have already used up my quota for sending red packets this month. Can I send it to you next month?】

【Pang Bo: No need to make it so troublesome. Just upload the score directly to the Group Shop. Anyway, it surely won't cost many points; I will purchase it myself!】

【Yue Buqun: Very well!】

【System Notification: Yue Buqun listed "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" musical score!】

【Pang Bo: Wow, this score is quite expensive; it actually requires 100 points to purchase!】

Hearing these words, Yue Buqun, who was currently traveling by boat to Huashan, was slightly stunned.

It must be known that his "Purple Mist Divine Art" in the shop was only worth 20 points; how could this "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" score be worth 100 points?

【System Notification: Pang Bo purchased "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" musical score!】

On the other side, Lu Qingshan, who had just finished cultivating, also received the message where Yue Buqun @'d him.

"The Smiling, Proud Wanderer musical score?"

Lu Qingshan scanned the chat history, and a slight stir arose in his heart.

【System Notification: Lu Qingshan claimed Yue Buqun's red packet.】

【Lu Qingshan: Mr. Yue, you are thoughtful; I am very satisfied with this gift! I wonder if there is anything you need help with; just speak up!】

Although this "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" score was of no use to the current Lu Qingshan, and even within the vast universe of the Starry Sky World there were countless exquisite pieces of music, Lu Qingshan still could not help but recall "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" he had read in his previous life.

Moreover, the intention behind this gift carefully prepared by Yue Buqun for him was also very rare, and since he could easily help the other party, why not do so?

【Yue Buqun: Group Owner, as long as you are satisfied, that is good! The thousand-year spiritual marrow you gave me previously still has much remaining; currently, there is actually nothing I need help with!】

【System Notification: Lu Qingshan uploaded a designated red packet "Purple Mist Divine Art" (Improved Version)!】

【Lu Qingshan: Mr. Yue, I have already seen the Purple Mist Divine Art of your Huashan Sect, and at the same time made some slight improvements. You can take a look to see if it is helpful to you!】

【Yue Buqun: Thank you, Group Owner.】

【System Notification: Yue Buqun claimed Lu Qingshan's red packet.】

【Cao Cao: @Lu Qingshan, Group Owner, I wonder if it is convenient for you to help me prepare some grain? I am willing to exchange it with the points in my possession.】

【Pang Bo: Grain?】

【Cao Cao: Exactly! Previously, when Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, he burned Luoyang to the ground with a single fire. Now, the eighteen warlords have each dispersed! I now plan to lead my subordinates to rebuild the city of Luoyang, and at the same time wait for an opportunity to rescue the Emperor! However, now that Luoyang is in ruins and everything needs to be started anew, the thing most lacking is grain!】

【Pang Bo: To go rescue that Liu Xie? Lord Meng De, you surely aren't still thinking of holding the Emperor hostage to command the vassals!】

【Cao Cao: Not at all! Compared to unifying the world, I now wish even more to follow the footsteps of the Group Owner and all of you to cultivate and seek the fruit of the Eternal Dao! However, after finishing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," I discovered that there are still many heroes in the world, so I want to try whether I can gather them all under my banner! To do this matter well, 'honoring the Emperor to command the disobedient' is absolutely a good choice!】

【Pang Bo: Wow, I didn't expect Lord Meng De to have a hobby of stamp collecting!】

【Cao Cao: Stamp collecting?】

Inside Luoyangcheng, Cao Cao looked utterly confused; he could not guess at all what Pang Bo meant by those words!

And Lu Qingshan in the Starry Sky World, upon seeing Pang Bo's sentence, immediately recalled childhood memories from his previous life.

Those instant noodle packs costing a few dimes, those small cards...

These memories, originally already blurred, became incredibly clear again after he became an Immortal Spirit.

"Since Cao Cao wants to honor the Emperor to command the disobedient, I wonder what changes will occur in that world?"

Lu Qingshan could not help but think silently in his heart: "However, ordinary grain is much more troublesome for me than thousand-year spiritual marrow or ten-thousand-year spiritual herbs and such!"

After all, with his current identity and status, how could he possibly carry such ordinary things on his person?

Even on the entire Tianlei Star, there probably aren't many grains eaten by ordinary people; gathering them would naturally be somewhat troublesome!

【Lu Qingshan: @Cao Cao, the matter of grain is indeed somewhat troublesome, but shortly I will gather some and send it to you!】

Inside Luoyangcheng, upon seeing Lu Qingshan's words, Cao Cao could not help but feel slightly stunned in his heart.

In his view, Lu Qingshan was the person most likely within the chat group to help him gather enough grain, after all, Lu Qingshan had casually issued hundreds of thousands of jin of thousand-year spiritual marrow before.

But now...

The group owner actually feels troubled?

"Could it be that the group owner just has a lot of spirit items there, while the resources ordinary people can have are very few?" Cao Cao couldn't help secretly guessing.

【System Notice: Han Li uploaded a designated red packet, one Foundation Establishment Pill.】

【Han Li: @Lu Qingshan, group owner, I've already gotten my hands on a Foundation Establishment Pill, please help me study it!】

In fact, Han Li had also thought about waiting until the Blood Forbidden Trial to gather spirit medicines and then refine the pill himself.

However, the Blood Forbidden Trial was still a full two years away, and after much thought, he still felt there was no need to wait that long.

Thus, after purchasing many top-grade magic artifacts and talismans, Han Li finally chose to make his move on the grandnephew of the surnamed-Ye elder who had not yet taken a Foundation Establishment Pill!

After successfully killing the target, Han Li finally took back the Foundation Establishment Pill that had always belonged to him.

【System Notice: Lu Qingshan claimed Han Li's red packet!】

【Lu Qingshan: It's quite rare today, I didn't expect everyone to actually be here!】

【Pang Bo: Group owner, actually the few of us are online all the time, it's just that you're always in closed-door cultivation!】

【Lu Qingshan: Is that so? Mainly because my strength is still too weak, I can only seize the time to go into closed-door cultivation and train hard!】

【Yue Buqun: This…】

【Pang Bo: Group owner, don't you consider the feelings of us people when you say that?】

Just then…

【System Notice: Detected an increase in activity within the chat group, two new members will be randomly added to the chat group!】
