Chapter 14: Buy, Buy, Buy! Surprises from Three Fine Treasure Chests!

"I've already fled into a temple, so why are ghosts and monsters still coming after me?!"

Wen Xingyao's heart tightened, his eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat from nervousness.

He quietly poked his head out, wanting to see the situation outside clearly.

However, in this pitch-black temple, he couldn't see a single thing.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Rapid footsteps came from outside the temple, and Wen Xingyao grew increasingly worried about his own safety.

He had originally wanted to use Lu Yun's crisis for his own amusement, never expecting that he would fall into the predicament of a world of ghosts and monsters in the blink of an eye.

When one hideous ghost after another began to break down the door, he didn't feel he had done anything wrong; he only thought: Why, when everyone is a transmigrator, is Lu Yun so lucky while I am so unlucky? Why!...

The Primordial World.

Lu Yun stopped communicating with the people in the group and turned to think about how to complete his next task.

Although Wen Xingyao acted out of malice, he did not choose to give up that task. Even though completing the task might carry great risks, Lu Yun believed he could overcome the difficulties and create even greater opportunities amidst the risk.

Lu Yun began to set about completing several simple tasks; he first purchased some equipment to enhance his attributes.

He was still wearing a pair of ordinary running shoes on his feet; while this stuff was very comfortable, it was basically of no help for combat.

Lu Yun searched through the Points Mall and discovered a pair of boots that could actually increase movement speed, so he decisively spent twenty thousand points to buy them outright.

He changed into the boots, and as he channeled his magic power, he was pleasantly surprised to find that after putting them on, it was as if he had activated the previous Godly Movement Talisman again.

This could completely serve as a Godly Movement Talisman without a time limit! Next, Lu Yun searched for skill-type items again, preparing to improve his single-target combat ability.

Currently, he had "Xingyi Fist" for attacks, which was temporarily sufficient, and "Earth Escape Technique" for fleeing, but he still lacked any skills for defense.

After some searching, he quickly selected a defensive skill named "Elephant Shield," priced at fifteen thousand points, which was just right for his current cultivation at the Refining Spirit into Void realm.

Decisively bought!

Over seventy thousand points, and half were gone in an instant.

But at the same time, he heard the system's prompt: "Ding! You have followed the advice and obtained: one Fine Treasure Chest!"

Lu Yun was in no rush to open it and continued to complete the next task: purchasing stealth or escape-type items.

He pondered for a moment and decided to purchase an escape-type item.

Because he already possessed the Breath Concealing Illusion Talisman, stealth-type items were of no obvious use to him; rather, escape-type items held higher value.

In the Points Mall, Lu Yun found several types of escape-type items.

Among them, an item named "Wings of Wind and Thunder" caught his attention.

The group of Demon beasts he had to face now clearly had shortcomings in flight, and these Wings of Wind and Thunder could allow him to briefly manifest a pair of wings, which would not only let him distance himself from the battlefield in an emergency but also allow him to use flight to ambush and kill enemies at critical moments!

Although the price was as high as twenty-three thousand points, Lu Yun spent the points to purchase them without the slightest hesitation.

"Ding! You have followed the advice and obtained: one Fine Treasure Chest!"

Another Fine Treasure Chest had arrived! Lu Yun still didn't rush to open the chests, but instead looked at the Points Mall and pondered.

Originally, besides buying equipment, he had also wanted to buy cultivation techniques for the next stage.

But now, in order to complete the system tasks, he only had ten thousand-plus points left, and he suddenly felt that ten thousand-plus points couldn't buy any powerful techniques at all.

He thought that even if he bought a technique, it would still take a certain amount of time to cultivate it into actual strength, so he gritted his teeth. "I'll just not switch techniques for now, continue to complete the third task, and then go out to kill monsters, finishing the suggestion Wen Xingyao gave me as well!"

"Who knows, maybe the task's Rare Treasure Chest will drop a technique manual for me then!"

"Even if it doesn't drop one, after I kill more Demon beasts and sell them, I can buy a technique at the hundred-thousand-point level directly, which I imagine will be even more powerful!"

After making his decision, Lu Yun immediately began searching for burst-type items in the Points Mall.

There were quite a few items of this type, and skills as well.

Lu Yun pondered for a while and decided that buying skills was still more cost-effective.

After all, under the same degree of amplification, skills were definitely cheaper than items, because the Points Mall could repeatedly sell knowledge-based items.

And for Lu Yun, skills could also be used repeatedly; even if his cultivation and realm improved, the skills would still be useful, whereas item-based amplification was generally fixed for use at a certain realm and became useless after one's cultivation improved.

Therefore, Lu Yun ultimately chose a secret technique named "Surging Waves," which could accelerate the circulation of magic power in a short time to increase attack power.

With the last few hundred points remaining, he bought another bottle of magic-restoring potion, which would allow him to hold out in this underground area for a while longer to finish learning the skills.

"Ding! You have followed the advice and obtained: one Fine Treasure Chest!"

The last ten thousand-plus points were almost spent, and Lu Yun had finally obtained the third Fine Treasure Chest!

After purchasing the items, Lu Yun could finally start opening the chests.

He went straight for a triple opening!

"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained: Encyclopedia of Spiritual Herbs x1!"

"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained: Ox-Dissecting Blade Technique x1!"

"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained: Immobilization Talisman x5!"

The first two rewards left Lu Yun somewhat disappointed, as it seemed he had no use for them for the time being.

But the third reward made his eyes light up involuntarily.

"Good stuff! This way, if I feel like I can't win during a fight later, I can just immobilize the opponent and take the chance to escape!"

"Plus, I won't have to worry about those Demon beasts escaping, so I won't fail the fourth task!"

Plans for hunting the remaining Demon beasts were already beginning to emerge in Lu Yun's mind!

However, he was in no rush to start hunting the surrounding Demon beasts, choosing instead to stay under this large rock, carefully studying the newly purchased defensive skill "Elephant Shield" and the burst-type secret technique "Surging Waves."

Above ground, the Demon beasts were still searching everywhere, suspicious and uncertain.

Houtu, meanwhile, used the Law of Earth to clearly see Lu Yun sitting cross-legged, seemingly cultivating something.

Looking at the situation, he clearly intended to continue hunting the remaining Demon beasts! Houtu pondered for a moment and quietly took action!

"Hum!"

Within a radius of ten miles centered on Lu Yun, an invisible cage appeared.

In this way, those Demon beasts would be unable to escape, and she could also see more of what exactly Nuwa had taught Lu Yun.

Lu Yun did not make her wait long.

Just as the Demon beasts on the ground were gradually losing patience and some were preparing to leave, Lu Yun took action once again! (End of chapter)
