Chapter 48: Continue To Draw
‘Ding! This lucky draw costs 50 merit points. Thank you for trying, you have received 1 luck point.’
Lu Zhou frowned slightly. “My luck has not changed. Is it because I used the wrong posture to draw?”
He slowly rose to his feet and continued drawing, but he got the same result four times in a row.
“It’s a ripoff!”
It turned out that his posture had nothing to do with the outcome.
Although he repeatedly complained in his mind, Lu Zhou kept a straight face, which was already very dark.
“Sixty-six luck points…Will they bring me better luck?”
Women had a sixth sense while men had keen intuition. He was certain that he would get something this time.
“Lucky draw!”
‘Ding! This lucky draw costs 50 merit points and 66 luck points. You have received 1 reversal card.’
“…”
Lu Zhou was on the verge of flying into a rage. But, he took a deep breath and looked into the dark distance with his deep, old eyes.
“Fuc…Never mind. Swearing is not the style of a villainous patriarch, nor is it consistent with my status.” After spending so many merit points and luck points, he only got himself a reversal card. He did not know whether to laugh or weep. He wanted to complain about the system, but whom should he turn to? He had never been so angry before, not even when he had failed fifteen times in a row while trying to craft a weapon in an online game in his previous life.
Lu Zhou glanced at the remaining merit points. He still had one thousand one hundred and ninety points.
It seemed that the game of lucky draws was dangerous. Should he stop playing now while he still had some points?
“Lucky draw.”
‘Ding! This lucky draw costs 50 merit points. You have received a weapon: Unnamed. You have received a mount: Bi An.’
Lu Zhou, “???”
The draw that spent his sixty-six luck points only gave him a reversal card, but this draw, which spent zero of his luck points, had given him a weapon and a mount. Lu Zhou did not know what to say.
“Unnamed.”
The weapon was carelessly named, but it did not matter. He had spent so many merit points on it! Surely it was better than the pile of scrap metal in this secret chamber, right?
As Lu Zhou called its name, an irregular-shaped, faintly glowing object slowly appeared in his palm. It was round in shape at this moment and oval in the next.
“What is this thing?” Lu Zhou frowned. He tried to ask the system for some hints, but the system did not answer him. He waved a hand and the black object disappeared. Then, he saw it appear in the item menu of the system like a black stone. He glanced at it and saw a row of tiny words beneath it: Unnamed can change into any weapon according to your thoughts, and the higher your cultivation base is, the stronger it becomes.
“…”
It appeared to be an extraordinary item, and Lu Zhou’s interest was aroused. He lifted his right hand and a weapon appeared in his palm. This time, it was a sword, an exquisite short sword which looked more like a dagger. After that, it transformed into a saber, a spear, a cudgel, a halberd, and many other weapons.
“I understand now.” It was a weapon that could take different forms at will. Although it was only a weapon, it was better than ten weapons. He had hit a jackpot!
“Let’s try its power next.”
…
Meanwhile, Mingshi Yin arrived in the Cave of Reflection. When he saw the sad-looking Ye Tianxin, he said, “Junior Sister…do you want to have a look at my Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar?”
Ye Tianxin, “???”
She frowned her brow slightly and stared at Mingshi Yin, who appeared all of a sudden, “If you are here to kill me at the old villain’s order, just do it. You don’t have to show off…”
Mingshi Yin scratched his head and said embarrassingly, “Well, I didn’t mean it.”
“I don’t care if you want to kill or torture me, just be quick about it.” Ye Tianxin turned her head away.
Mingshi Yin shook his head as he sighed and said, “Junior Sister, if Master wanted to kill you, he would have done it.”
“Then why did he send you here?”
“He did not. I come here on my own will. After all, you are my junior sister, and I can’t let you go astray,” said Mingshi Yin.
Ye Tianxin laughed. “Go astray? You are the ones who have gone astray…”
“Are you still holding a grudge against Master for that incident?”
Ye Tianxin turned away from him again, her face and eyes growing cold. She did not want to mention the past. Mingshi Yin walked over and sat down beside her. He waved a hand and the cave lit up instantly.
“I joined the sect earlier than you and suffered more than you. Did I ever complain about anything?” Mingshi Yin said.
“Bah! I seem to remember that you are the one who cursed the most behind his back.”
“Cough! Cough!” Mingshi Yin glanced hastily out of the cave and said embarrassingly, “Times have changed. Master is very kind now.”
“Kind? Fourth Senior Brother, this joke is not funny at all,” Ye Tianxin said while shaking her head before looking down at her bedraggled appearance. What she was trying to tell him was obvious.
“I’m not joking.” Mingshi Yin stood up and clasped his hands behind his back as he said with a serious tone, “After living for a long time, Master’s thoughts have become clear. His attitude today is quite different from what it used to be.”
“So what?”
“Why can’t you understand me?” Mingshi Yin said angrily. “Master didn’t even take what we did to heart!”
“But I did! As long as that old thing still lives, my heart will not be at ease!”
Pak!
Mingshi Yin suddenly raised his hand and slapped Ye Tianxin. He did not use energy of course and just slapped her face like an ordinary person. The slap struck Ye Tianxin dumb, but she looked up stubbornly into his eyes.
Mingshi Yin raised his hand once again…
Swoosh!
Ye Tianxin closed her eyes.
However, the palm stopped a foot from her cheek and did not hit her. Mingshi Yin shook his head as he sighed and patted her shoulder instead.
“You should ask in front of Master…That’s all I have to say. You’re on your own now!”
He felt that there was no need for him to persuade her further. He turned and was about to leave when Ye Tianxin called out, “Wait a moment!”
“What else do you want to say?”
“My sisters in the Derived Moon Palace will definitely come to rescue me. If possible, I hope Senior Brother can show them mercy,” Ye Tianxin’s voice grew lower and sounded like she was pleading with him.
When he heard that, Mingshi Yin laughed and said, “You really flatter yourself. How would they come to rescue you when they are mired in their own problems now?”
“What do you mean?”
“The Yun Sect, Tian Sect, and Luo Sect have lost so many Divine Court experts. Do you think they will blame it on Master? No! Their first target will be your Derived Moon Palace!”
After saying that, his body flickered, and he was gone in the next instant. A hush fell over the Cave of Reflection while Ye Tianxin looked stunned and at a loss.
…
At the moment Lu Zhou produced Unnamed, he heard a system prompt.
‘Ding! You have disciplined Ye Tianxin and are rewarded with 100 merit points.’
He did not expect that. “Well, no matter which disciple disciplined her, at least it shows that Ye Tianxin still has some value.”
He controlled the Unnamed sword and made it spin rapidly in his palm before stopping and grabbing its hilt.
“With my cultivation base in the Sense Condensing realm, I still can’t control it at will.”
The sword cut at a saber placed on the weapon rack beside him.
Bam!
Sparks flew everywhere. The saber was intact, and so was the Unnamed sword.
This was the item he got from the lucky draw when he had zero luck points.
“It is indeed a piece of junk!”
