Chapter 1380: Kusanagi (Part 3)

~14 min read 2,602 words

"Who is it?" Luo Quan raised her head and asked.

"Daughter, it's Mom."

"Mother?" Luo Quan hurriedly got up and opened the door, seeing Bai Yueyao holding a cloth bag, her expression slightly flustered.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Luo Quan looked at her mother, who looked like a thief, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

"This was your mother's dowry back then. It had been under the bed for decades. If your father hadn't been rummaging through boxes and cabinets for things today, I wouldn't have remembered it."

Bai Yueyao said, putting the cloth bag in her hand and saying: "You can't use too high-level things, so Mom brought you some spirit stones. With these, your cultivation will be faster.

That cheap father of yours is also too stingy. Just now I asked him to give you some spirit stones, but he refused no matter what. Fortunately, Mom still has some stock. No matter how poor we are, we can't make our daughter poor."

"Mom, you sent these spirit stones just in time!" Luo Quan almost cried out, hugging Bai Yueyao with gratitude.

"Alright, hurry up and put the spirit stones away. You must not let your father know. It won't be easy for Mom to explain when he asks where these spirit stones came from."

Bai Yueyao stroked Luo Quan's head, her eyes gentle, then looked around and said to Luo Quan: "Daughter, now that you have spirit stones, you must practice diligently. Your father will let you join the sect in two days. If you can, choose our Lingyun Peak, or choose your grandfather's Qingtian Peak.

They are all family, so you won't suffer any losses in any case."

"I know." Luo Quan nodded. Mother Bai smiled slightly and turned around, hurrying away.

Closing the door, Luo Quan couldn't wait to open the cloth bag. A dazzling white light flashed before her eyes—this was the sign of high-level spirit stones!

Luo Quan counted them; there were only seventy-two. It seemed her mother had just grabbed a handful while her father wasn't paying attention and didn't dare to grab more.

However, seventy-two high-level spirit stones were already quite a lot. Converted, that was seventy-two thousand Immortal Coins!

Luo Quan put fifty high-level spirit stones into the storage space and then exchanged them for fifty thousand Immortal Coins through the Myriad Worlds Store.

Many gray goods in the store suddenly became bright, which meant she could already buy these goods.

However, Luo Quan didn't plan to spend money now. With the top-grade cultivation technique "Wuji Gong," she didn't need to invest Immortal Coins in this aspect for the time being.

So Luo Quan planned to save the Immortal Coins first and take them out to spend when she needed them later.

Just like the system said, the Myriad Worlds Store is indeed a function very useful to her, but for her now, it's still too early to fully exert its effect.

Her current status is too low. Even if she joins the Wuliang Immortal Sect, the income of more than one thousand Immortal Coins per month is pitifully small.

Only when her status in the Wuliang Immortal Sect gets higher and higher in the future, and she gets more and more spirit stones and Immortal Coins, will the role of the Myriad Worlds Store gradually become prominent.

A cultivator, once reaching the Tongmai Period, can become an introductory disciple of the Wuliang Immortal Sect, and once reaching the Foundation Establishment Period, can be promoted to an inner disciple, enjoying the welfare of at least five hundred low-level spirit stones per month.

If the cultivation reaches the Golden Core Period, one can become one of the true disciples of the Nine Peaks and Twelve Halls. At this time, one can call the Peak Master and Hall Master "Master."

At this moment, one is considered to have completely stood firm in the Wuliang Immortal Sect. The monthly welfare can reach more than two hundred mid-level spirit stones, which is twenty thousand Immortal Coins!

This is a proper well-off life, plus some other miscellaneous income, she can save at least three hundred thousand Immortal Coins a year!

Although there are higher statuses and treatments, Luo Quan is not someone who aims too high. Thinking about these things now is too early.

After all, she is not a disciple of the Wuliang Immortal Sect yet. Setting the goal too far and taking too big a step makes it easy to pull the crotch.

Uh... it seems she doesn't have that thing either.

In short, with the relationship of her parents, her joining the Wuliang Immortal Sect is a nailed-down thing.

Now Luo Quan needs to fully improve her cultivation and quickly improve her status in the sect.

Of course, leave the struggling things to the intelligent AI.

She hadn't forgotten her real business here.

Opening the Myriad Worlds Mall, Luo Quan searched directly for "Kusanagi."

The system said that any equipment or props could be bought in this mall, so Luo Quan searched directly for this most prestigious equipment in Japan.

The Kusanagi in reality is said to have been enshrined in the Japanese Imperial Court and is one of the so-called Three Sacred Treasures.

But Luo Quan remembered that a previous organization was planting bombs at the airport and launching attacks at Jinggong's wedding, just to divert everyone's attention to snatch the Three Sacred Treasures.

Although the Imperial Palace's final response was that they protected the Three Sacred Treasures in the battle and they weren't snatched by thieves.

However, since then, the Imperial Family had never shown the Three Sacred Treasures to the outside world again.

Before this, they loved to take these three treasures out to show off, wishing the whole world knew they possessed these three treasures with a long history.

And now, it is said that they cannot be easily shown to the world to avoid being coveted by thieves.

But many people know these three treasures exist; if you don't take them out, will no one miss them?

It doesn't make sense logically.

So Luo Quan felt that these three treasures had either been stolen or destroyed.

Luo Quan felt the latter possibility was greater, because after being stolen, whether used by oneself or sold for money, it was impossible not to have any news at all.

Just like the theft of Notre-Dame de Paris before, a group of police investigated for a long time without clues, but the rich people abroad bought the stolen goods and showed them off themselves; there was no need to investigate at all.

Therefore, these three treasures hadn't appeared for so many years, so they were probably destroyed.

However, Luo Quan now had the opportunity to make it reappear, and it would definitely be fiercer than the original one.

Soon, Luo Quan found the Kusanagi Sword in the mall.

This sword looked very different from a katana; it looked more like a blade inserted on a long handle.

Rather than a sword, it was actually more like Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

And there were ring-shaped protrusions one after another on the long handle, looking like bone joints.

It is said that Kusanagi was born from the body of the Eight-Headed Serpent. Could this handle be the tailbone of the Eight-Headed Serpent?

Unfortunately, perhaps the prop was too low-level, and there wasn't much introduction on its page.

Such a weapon didn't even count as white quality. Even if she drew a Wealth-Companion-Law-Land Treasure Chest, she couldn't get such a prop at the worst.

Perhaps the level of this weapon was indeed a bit low, but it was enough.

If it were too powerful, she really wouldn't be willing to give it to others to use.

Only by taking out such a mediocre one would she feel at ease.

As for the other good things in the Myriad Worlds Mall, let's talk about it after she returns to the Universe.

The Universe also has immortal cultivators, and hard currencies like spirit stones must definitely exist. It's just that she doesn't know if the reserves are rich.

After getting the things she wanted, Luo Quan exited the Star Sea Immortal Palace world.

She didn't stay for too long this time. After Luo Quan opened her eyes, it was still dark outside.

She took out her phone and found that her name had already climbed to the trending search.

"Luo Quan assassinated in Tokyo!"

Twitter and Weibo were both trending. Even though it was the middle of the night, it still had extremely high heat.

Luo Quan originally intended to deal with this matter tomorrow, but she didn't expect the police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department to have such loose mouths, leaking the news overnight.

Fortunately, this trending search didn't appear long ago. If she really waited until tomorrow, she didn't know how many rumors would be in between.

So Luo Quan hurriedly recorded a video:

"Netizens, I'm sorry to be on the trending search in such a way in the middle of the night, making everyone worry.

First of all, regarding the assassination, it's definitely not clickbait. Just a few hours ago, a fanatical fan did come to the house where I'm currently living with a knife, trying to harm Chunzi and me.

As for the specific reasons, because it's still under investigation, I can't reveal them for the time being. I'll tell everyone after the investigation is thoroughly clear.

In short, that's all I can say for now. Please don't believe any rumors other than this video. After all, besides me, there is no second party involved in the country. Anyone who claims to know any inside information—don't ask, they must be liars.

Making everyone worry, I am safe and sound. Everyone, get some rest early."

After the video was sent, it had tens of thousands of views in the blink of an eye.

It could be seen that the fans were truly very worried about her safety, and as soon as they saw her update the video, they clicked in immediately.

Finding that Luo Quan was still full of vigor in the video, the fans finally felt relieved.

"I told you not to go to Japan. You see, I knew nothing good would happen."

"It's good that you're fine. By the way, what is this fanatical fan thinking, actually going to stab an idol."

"Some are too extreme. It's best to sentence her to life imprisonment so she won't come out to harm people for the rest of her life."

"That might be a bit difficult in Japan."

"Indeed. In Japan, you might not even be sentenced to death for killing several people, let alone this kind of attempted murder."

"Even if sentenced to death, it might not be executed for decades, which is no different from life imprisonment. So for crimes that don't even reach the death penalty, it's estimated to be even lighter."

"It sounds like a lawless land. Isn't it said that Japan's public security is the best in Asia?"

"Public security is indeed good, but there are also many perverts and molesters. Occasionally, you will encounter lunatics who come out to slash people to retaliate against society. In short, it's still considered stable on the whole."

"The country is the one that is truly the best in public security. Although there are many cases because of the large number of people, we are already one of the safest countries in the world."

"Indeed."

"Hurry to Hawaii, Luo Bao. I'm afraid you'll encounter trouble again if you stay in Japan for too long."

"Haha, this way you can legitimately let Luo Bao shoot swimwear, right?"

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

……………………

Luo Quan was safe and sound, so the fans' tone became much more relaxed, and many started joking.

Luo Quan curled her mouth when she saw it and didn't take it too seriously.

As for her mother...

Logically speaking, for such a big thing, that side should be very nervous. Why hasn't there been a single phone call until now, only sending a message to ask?

Luo Quan couldn't understand, so she replied to the message: "I'm fine, Mom. Also, you don't seem to be worried about me at all?"

"What's there to worry about?" Her mother replied quickly. "You've already been flying in the sky and diving into the earth in outer space. Can these little knives on Earth still hurt you?

Don't send messages about such small things in the future. My sleep was woken up in the middle of the night. By the way, Ningning wasn't scared, right?"

Seeing her mother's inquiry, Luo Quan finally knew what it meant to not need to care after completing the task.

Her task was to expand the family for the old Luo family.

When she was pregnant, she was the biggest. After giving birth to Ningning, the daughter was the biggest, and she became insignificant.

"This is really..." Luo Quan shook her head, unable to laugh or cry, and then replied: "She wasn't scared, she slept quite soundly."

"That's good. I'm going to sleep, you rest early too."

After the message was sent, there was no movement.

Luo Quan looked for a while, then put down her phone and continued to enter the dreamland.

Because Luo Quan clarified in time, the heat of this news, which should have caused a sensation, was not as explosive as imagined.

An international female star assassinated—this was indeed explosive news.

And it happened in Tokyo, Japan, which had always claimed to have good public security.

So as soon as the matter came out, officials held a press conference that day, directly using the traditional art of bowing and apologizing, expressing that it was his fault for not maintaining social security well, and that he had caused trouble for the public and Luo Quan—"Hontoni sumimasen!"

However, this customary apology didn't satisfy the public.

Because it involved Luo Quan, and the nature of the case was so vile.

Originally, Japanese fans were still hoping to let Luo Quan stay for a few more days, go on a few programs, or hold a concert or something.

As a result, such a thing happened. It was already very courageous that she didn't buy a plane ticket to flee Japan directly.

If someone with a bad temper had been in her place, they might have scolded directly, and might not even come back in the future.

After all, this was a major threat to life!

So the public was very dissatisfied with such a light apology, demanding that officials commit seppuku to apologize, and also severely punish the murderer.

However, the Japanese government is famous for not caring about public opinion at all, so these words of righteous indignation could only get likes online.

As for the murderer, she definitely wouldn't suffer a very severe punishment. After all, no matter how you say it, she was only an attempted murderer.

In Japan, where even completed murder wouldn't be severely punished, lighter crimes naturally didn't count as anything.

Of course, a few years of imprisonment was definitely there.

As for whether she would hold a grudge against herself after coming out, or still plan to die with Chunzi, Luo Quan didn't know.

Anyway, by the time this criminal comes out, Chunzi should be strong enough to exceed that criminal's cognition.

Just like now, Luo Quan suddenly took out a sword and told her this was Kusanagi.

This also exceeded Chunzi's cognition.

"Quan-chan, is this Kusanagi? Are you sure you're not joking?" ===== CHAPTER 1381 =====
