Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

The next day, Lu Yunshi got up from the table, yawned with his hands behind his back, and his blurry eyes cleared up after a brief silence.

Looking at the many discarded drafts on the table, Lu Yunshi let out a long sigh.

"I've really run out of ideas this time. Maybe I should go talk to Zai Zai and get rid of this letter-writing task, or at least extend it to once a month."

That's what he thought, but considering Lu Yunxi's stubborn nature, Lu Yunshi already knew in his heart that this was actually unlikely.

After sorting out his thoughts, Lu Yunshi quickly cleaned the table, then casually put away the barely legible love letter before tidying his clothes a little and leaving.

Lu Yunshi, who was outside, did not go out immediately. Instead, he went around to the backyard and watered the vegetables and fruits he had planted.

Today is a rest day for the beginners, and they cannot go up the mountain. Most of the beginners will choose to cultivate at the foot of the mountain, but Lu Yunshi will not choose to do so.

He knew his talent was truly lacking, so ordinary cultivation paths wouldn't be of much use to Lu Yunshi.

If it were just the Body Tempering Realm, it would be alright. No matter how big the gap is in the Body Tempering Realm, Lu Yunshi wouldn't really fall behind. Moreover, he already has more resources than most elementary students.

If it weren't for wanting to avoid trouble, Lu Yunshi could have already broken through to the late stage of Body Tempering and become an average student by relying on those resources.

Unfortunately, this path involves more than just the Body Tempering Realm. After breaking through to the Body Tempering Realm, the gap between oneself and other cultivators will only widen.

Therefore, Lu Yunshi chose to lie low and hibernate, choosing a path that was more suitable for him.

This path may not be right, but it may not be wrong either, right?

Lu Yunshi is not someone who values ​​his own strength; for him, life and death are both acceptable.

But even if he were to die, it would be his own choice. He did not want to die at the mercy of others. In addition, as a guard, he still needed a certain level of strength.

Today, Lu Yunshi is going to spend some time looking for something that will help him break through to a higher level sooner.

Half an hour later, Lu Yunshi went outside the academy.

Outside the academy lies a bustling metropolis called the City of Holy Learning.

At first glance, what catches the eye are towering iron towers that reach into the clouds, exuding a cold, mechanical feel. It is said that hundreds of years ago, the Holy Academy City was not like this, but rather a cluster of wooden buildings and stone houses.

Besides the architecture, the city of Holy Learning also contains many things that have only appeared in the last few decades. Some places that had been stagnant due to the war seem to have finally started to move again after so many years since the war ended.

However, Lu Yunshi also heard that there are actually not many places like the Holy Academy City in the entire human realm, and most places still maintain their original appearance.

Lu Yunshi walked onto the main road. On the road paved with gleaming stone bricks, cultivators riding strange machines could be seen speeding by from time to time.

The Holy City is a well-connected and bustling place with a diverse population, and one can occasionally spot other races.

Lu Yunshi turned his gaze away from the mechanical mount beside someone, a hint of envy in his eyes. He had heard that it was the latest model created by the Sacred Artifact Sect.

As long as you sit on it and input a little spiritual energy, you can ride ahead of everyone else. Even a Gathering Sea Realm expert cannot catch up within three hours. More importantly, this thing is cool.

If I had this, I could definitely win the recent Mechanical Divine Steed King competition, and that would be a huge reward.

However, that thing was still quite expensive, probably a hundred times the amount of Lu Yunshi's current assets.

This mechanical steed is just one of many strange objects. It is unknown when, but many magical artifacts that have never been seen before have been passed down from the hands of the Sacred Artifact Sect.

In addition to this mechanical steed that can be ridden, there is also a jet suit that can carry low-level cultivators into the sky, and a flying sword that can be remotely controlled directly without the need for spiritual energy or spiritual thought.

Not all of these items are used for combat; many are also for entertainment. But regardless of the type of magical artifact, they all offer a refreshing and novel experience.

The appearance of these magical artifacts greatly impacted the previously stagnant magical artifact market. Some people angrily criticized these things for making cultivators lose their ambition and only know crooked ways, while others thought these things were very interesting and should be preserved.

Recently, it seems that the Sacred Relics Gate is planning to release a portable video recorder to replace the Recording Stone. I heard that unlike the Recording Stone, the video recorder can record many video clips with very good image quality. If it's not too expensive, it's worth buying.

Shaking his head, Lu Yunshi also withdrew his thoughts. In the end, it was still because there wasn't enough money. He didn't know how much profit Xiaomei and the crabs could bring him.

As he pondered, Lu Yunshi heard some noises around him. He looked to the side and his gaze immediately became fixed on something.

On a large glass window on a tall building across the street, a cold fairy is fighting a burly man who is eight meters tall. The fairy's clothes are tattered, which is suggestive. Although she is in a difficult situation, the fairy's face remains resolute. She eventually kills the burly man with the sword. However, the fairy is exhausted and can no longer hold on. Just as she is about to leave, a man in black robes suddenly appears, accompanied by a raucous laugh.

Soon, everything went black before the fairy's eyes, and the people outside also lost sight of the scene.

What will become of the Ice Fairy? What is the identity of the man in black? New enemies, new crises—stay tuned!

The words that slowly appeared on the dark glass instantly caused a stir among the crowd, and many people rushed into the building with frantic expressions, shouting, "I want to buy ten servings!"

"This is... the third installment of The Legend of the Swordswoman?" Lu Yunshi raised an eyebrow. This large glass panel was also a masterpiece from the Sacred Artifact Sect, named the Sound and Shadow Machine, which had been in the metropolis for over a decade.

"The Legend of the Swordswoman" was the first action movie to be played on the video player after its invention, and it is also the best one to date, with an astonishingly large audience.

However, the images played on the screen were actually recorded by other people using special methods, capturing pre-enacted scenes before being played back.

Of course, Lu Yunshi always had a strange sense of déjà vu about this kind of method, which directly led to his complete lack of interest in this sound and shadow machine that had been popular in the metropolis for more than ten years.

However, he was quite interested in The Legend of the Swordswoman, having heard that the only protagonist of the film, the Ice Fairy, was modeled after Shangguan Yue, the most popular beauty in the academy.

The female lead in the film became an overnight sensation and made a fortune simply because she looked three or four parts like Shangguan Yue. Even the two brothers, Lao Ba and Lao Jiu, were her fans.

I heard that he was originally just a cultivator at the Mountain Moving Realm, but now, by using the small amount of money he earned to buy cultivation resources, he has already reached the late stage of the Sea Gathering Realm.

"Alas! The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. This kind of thing that destroys people's minds should never have existed." Lu Yunshi shook his head, feeling a certain disappointment with the world around him.

"But if Xiaomei and the crab's images could appear on it, it would probably be even more popular than this, right? Wouldn't I make a fortune then? Hehehe..."

If it can make me money, then this isn't so unacceptable.
