Xiuxian Work Log

Xian calendar year, July 7th.

I never expected that it was a monk who saved me. Do monks in the world of immortal cultivation also eat human flesh?

Although I didn't see Hua Xiangrong eating the meat bought by the servant, it doesn't mean that Hua Xiangrong won't endanger my life.

So what was his purpose? He couldn't possibly be attracted to me, could he? I admit I'm a bit pretty, but I don't have the character to be one.

While Goudan's hand was still in the air, it was grabbed tightly by the servant.

"What are you doing?!" Goudan waved the servant away.

The servant looked carefully at the woman in the cage. The more he looked, the more amazed he became. He hurriedly asked Goudan.

"When did this person come from? She doesn't look human. Could she be a demon? But she doesn't have any demonic energy or spiritual power."

Goudan glared at the woman in the cage, his tone unkind to the servant who had just stopped him. Although this human was beautiful, she had dared to tease him. After the servant left, he would tell his father to kill her.

"She's a human my uncle and his friends picked up a while ago. I don't know where she came from. My father has carefully confirmed that she has no cultivation skills and is a genuine human. My mother even said she would sell her to Fengyue Tower for more than she would get for meat."

"Am I really that valuable? Then how much do you think I can be sold for?" the woman interrupted.

The two were shocked by Lin Qingyue's words and found that this woman was not a normal person. Their expressions were different.

Goudan curled his lips, not hiding his disgust for the crazy woman.

"One hundred low-grade spirit stones is considered a lot." In Goudan's own human meat shop, each person earns about 100 low-grade spirit stones, and in the entire demon territory, most of the demons don't even have ten low-grade spirit stones.

One thousand taels is one low-grade spirit stone, one thousand low-grade spirit stones is one medium-grade spirit stone, and one thousand medium-grade spirit stones is one high-grade spirit stone. As for the legendary top-grade spirit stone, it is said to be sealed in the deep sea and cannot be seen by ordinary people.

The servant said that he would have to consult the noble man before making a decision.

Lin Qingyue grabbed the bars of the cage and stared at the servant.

"What about yourself?"

"Your Excellency's meaning is my meaning."

Lin Qingyue smiled and said nothing, then lay back in the cage, waiting for the servant to take out the so-called magic weapon to contact the noble. The magic weapon looked like a small, five-colored bowl with a dressing mirror, but only the size of a palm.

Could it be that the bowl shows the faces of both parties? That would be a modern video call.

The servant whispered to the nobleman for a moment, and Lin Qingyue saw him turn the magic weapon towards her. At this point, Lin Qingyue also saw the true face of the nobleman.

Not a demon filled with evil, nor a demon that is unforgivable, but a handsome and elegant young monk? Monks in the world of immortal cultivation should not be underestimated.

When the little monk saw Lin Qingyue, he smiled faintly, as fresh and lovely as the new green leaves in early spring.

"Please forgive me, benefactor."

Not only was Lin Qingyue confused, but the Dust-Breaking System was also confused. The next second, his mind was filled with dense streams of data, and Lin Qingyue didn't dare to imagine what the Dust-Breaking System was doing.

The young monk said seriously, "Xiangrong has come here on his journey, and I didn't mean to disturb your peace. The Buddha has guided Xiangrong here, and I believe everything is predestined. My master once said, 'When everyone knows that beauty is beauty, then it becomes evil. When everyone knows that goodness is goodness, then it becomes evil.' I believe you can explain this to Xiangrong."

As the little monk finished his words, the data stream in his mind disappeared in an instant.

The unique AI voice of the Dust-Breaking System sounded.

"Congratulations to the host for starting the mission "Beauty is Not Beauty". Current mission progress: 0%. The mission deadline is one year. Please complete the mission within the specified time and receive the corresponding popularity points."

It was her third day in the world of cultivation. After discussing with Lin Qingyue, the Dust-Breaking System had originally decided to offer a beautiful woman to the Demon Palace. They would then create chaos and escape by passing the border between humans and demons, then sneak across the border to reach the human world.

As for why they had to sneak through instead of walking through openly? It's because there are demon soldiers guarding the place. Leaving the demon realm requires 500 low-grade spirit stones. And that's not all. After walking a distance and reaching a checkpoint guarded by immortal cultivators, you have to pay another 1000 low-grade spirit stones to enter the immortal cultivation realm.

Can you believe that entering the human world is more expensive than entering the demon world?

Lin Qingyue still owed 10 points to the Dust-Breaking System, had no spirit stones, and even the rusty sword he had picked up when he first crossed over was snatched away by the villagers.

Although it is broken and rotten, with countless rust marks on the sword, it is too boring to even cut vegetables with it.

But the villagers need it! Even if we sell it, we can get some money for some wine!

So after being rescued by Hua Xiangrong, Lin Qingyue gave it a try.

Hua Xiangrong said generously that it was no problem, so the rusty sword finally ended up in her hands after many twists and turns.

That’s right! Hua Xiangrong is beautiful and kind-hearted.

The hearse was speeding on the ground, and Lin Qingyue and Hua Xiangrong were heading towards the Bronze Town.

Because Lin Qingyue proposed that she wanted to go to Qingjing Town, Hua Xiangrong said that he would follow Lin Qingyue wherever she went, and for this purpose he also provided a hearse driven by a spirit horse.

(P.S. It's not that hearse, but a carriage made of wood rich in spiritual energy. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, comfortable and stable. There are also talismans and formations to protect the carriage. It's simply inhumane!)

Things became simpler after Hua Xiangrong appeared. Lin Qingyue recalled the scene at that time.

Hua Xiangrong wanted to take Lin Qingyue away, and the servant quickly gave the owner of the human meat shop 500 low-grade spirit stones, and only then did he let Lin Qingyue go.

Before leaving, Lin Qingyue saw Goudan with a sullen look on his face, probably expressing regret for not being able to kill Lin Qingyue.

Of course, before leaving, Lin Qingyue did not ask Hua Xiangrong why she did not save the person in the cage. She herself was not sure whether he was safe or not, so how could she care about others?

The Dust-Breaking System had originally been preparing to warn Lin Qingyue not to meddle in other people's affairs, but after seeing Lin Qingyue's actions, it secretly agreed. As a result, the two of them had their popularity points deducted by 20 points for their ruthlessness and lack of loyalty.

Dust-Breaking System and Lin Qingyue fell into silence as they looked at the popularity points with a balance of zero.

Popularity points are the corresponding points obtained by Star Citizens when they view small worlds through the Dust Breaking System and then based on the Star Citizens' ratings.

When the score is less than sixty, even if Lin Qingyue and the Pochen System have completed the task.

The final outcome is that a person's soul dissipates and a system is restored to factory settings.

Lin Qingyue didn’t understand. Isn’t this just a subjective rating?

The Dust-Breaking System looked as if it had been betrayed by its own people.

"I want to report it! This isn't fair!"

Lin Qingyue agreed and said, "I want to report it too!"

The result of everyone reporting at the same time was nothing. There was no response at all from the system, and Lin Qingyue only said a few words.

[The popularity points are derived from the Star Citizen rating, representing the power of Star Citizens. Every Star Citizen has the right to decide the level of their own rating.]

Lin Qingyue roughly translated it as: The popularity points are whatever points the interstellar citizens want to give. Every interstellar citizen can score the system and the host, and then decide whether to eliminate the host and the system based on the baseline of 60 points.

This was probably the first time that Dust Breaker encountered a system event where 20 points were deducted. It said it would study the recent XP of Star Citizen.

Dust-Breaking System: "It's also possible that a new TV series has become a hit, affecting the mainstream social values ​​of Star Citizen. After all, the first martial arts TV series in the year 34 AD, when the new human race was born, plunged the entire interstellar society into chaos, giving rise to numerous crimes. Currently, due to the distance, our communication with the interstellar side often experiences unstable signals."

Lin Qingyue: "This is too exaggerated. Why would your values ​​be influenced by a TV series?"

The Dust-Breaking System's data stream became garbled, and after a moment, it continued, "Because television dramas are an important form of entertainment, according to robot records left behind from interstellar history before the Common Era, humans at that time—"

Before Dust Breaking System could finish his words, Lin Qingyue was knocked out of the hearse by a powerful sword energy.

Lin Qingyue’s first thought was, Mom, I can fly!

Just when Lin Qingyue thought she was going to fall flat on her face, a breeze blew and Hua Xiangrong held Lin Qingyue in her arms.

From Lin Qingyue's perspective, Hua Xiangrong was still beautiful from all angles.

Hua Xiangrong quickly put Lin Qingyue down, but Lin Qingyue was still regretting that the time was a little short.

The wind blew fiercely, and Hua Xiangrong turned her back to her and stared at the newcomer. Lin Qingyue followed his gaze and saw a young man holding a sword, pointing it directly at Hua Xiangrong.

"Hua Xiangrong, today I must fight you to the death!"
