Chapter 8: Great Victory Pass

"I've mastered the techniques... how many more...?"

Bai Jin's mouth went dry, and she emphasized, "Lu Junior Brother... don't try to deceive me with jokes, I will be angry!"

"How is that possible? I wouldn't deceive anyone, especially not you, Senior Sister!"

Lu Bei looked aggrieved, and in front of Bai Jin, he recited the [Meditative Breathing Technique], "The Dao is without words, originating from nothingness, containing the profound..."

As the words fell, Bai Jin stood dumbfounded, completely different from her usual self, her beautiful face filled with shock.

"Senior Sister, I also have another technique called [Qi Cultivation]..."

"No need."

Before Lu Bei could continue, Bai Jin interrupted him, and after her heart calmed down and she regained her composure, she reached out and grabbed Lu Bei's wrist.

After a careful examination, Bai Jin fell silent once again.

There were indeed traces of spiritual luck in Lu Bei's body. Although he had been practicing for a short time, it was difficult to see the wonders of the technique. Lu Bei had said that he comprehended it from the Daoist scriptures. If that was the case, then this was the most suitable technique for him to practice at the moment.

Thinking about the superior techniques she obtained from Great Victory Pass, Bai Jin felt a sense of loss. Mo Buxio entrusted Lu Bei to her, but she had not fulfilled her responsibility.

Furthermore, if Lu Bei were to practice the technique she brought, wouldn't it mislead him and harm him for the rest of his life?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt ashamed. Bai Jin realized that Lu Bei's talent was astonishing, and she couldn't teach him as his junior sister.

"Junior Brother, pack your belongings. Follow me to the Towering Heaven Sword Sect."

"Now?!"

"Yes, we leave immediately."

"I have no problem with that, but over at the Towering Heaven Sword Sect, the Sect Master... um, you know."

Lu Bei shrugged, as the relationship was not complicated.

It wasn't easy to hitch a ride with the Towering Heaven Sword Sect.

Bai Jin was momentarily speechless. That's right, if the Sect Master asked about Lu Bei's origins, how would she answer?

Telling lies would be full of loopholes, and telling the truth would be even worse. How did she know about Mo Buxio's passing and why was she willing to guide Lu Bei's cultivation? Who was behind all this?

The answer was obvious. Bai Jin didn't need to answer, as the Sect Master would turn pale and vomit blood at the sight of it.

Thinking of this outcome, Bai Jin couldn't help but shake her head. Some things were better off not known by the Sect Master.

Bai Jin could guess the result, and Lu Bei, who could piece together the triangular relationship with just a few words, also knew. He enjoyed watching the excitement but didn't want to become the center of attention, especially in a life-threatening situation.

They couldn't go to the Towering Heaven Sword Sect, at least not now.

"Junior Brother, I will return to the sect and discuss this matter with my master. Since Senior Uncle Mo has passed away, and you, his disciple, are left outside, the Towering Heaven Sword Sect cannot allow you to be bullied..."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Jin had a plan. First, she would take the small box containing Mo Buxio and then said, "I will take you to Great Victory Pass. I have a good friend there. You can stay at her place for a couple of months while I explain the situation to my master and the Sect Master... in any case, just wait for my good news."

"Can't I wait at Nine Bamboo Mountain?"

"No."

Bai Jin decisively shook her head. "The Nine Bamboo Mountain is a mixed bag of different cultivation sects, with both good and bad. If you stay with them for too long, it will be harmful and of no benefit to your future cultivation."

From Bai Jin's perspective, her junior brother had exceptional talent and would surely make a name for himself in the future. Such a promising disciple couldn't be left at Nine Bamboo Mountain.

He would be influenced negatively!

"I will follow Senior Sister's arrangements."

Lu Bei felt secretly delighted. When players chose their main profession, they would be sent to various places in the Nine Provinces. If they were lucky, they would be thrown into a cultivation sect directly, and if they were unlucky, they would appear in nearby towns.

It couldn't be said whether it was good or bad luck. Being born in a sect saved time searching for opportunities, but ordinary people lacked guidance when entering deep mountains and forests, so it was better to be born in a town to familiarize themselves with the unfamiliar world.

Moreover, towns had the advantage of the Extreme Monarch Sect, the best choice for beginners. In recent years, the political situation in Wu Zhou had become unstable, with both the central royal power and local governments expanding their military forces. The Extreme Monarch Sect was no exception and welcomed newcomers with excellent aptitude.

This meant that the larger the city, the more suitable tasks there were for beginners.

Lu Bei wasn't sure if Nine Bamboo Mountain counted as a beginner's village, but the neighboring Jade Chime District probably was, and not to mention Great Victory Pass, which was undoubtedly a beginner's village.

Lu Bei hadn't encountered any tasks in Nine Bamboo Mountain, and the few NPCs he had met, including Bai Jin, only interacted with him as NPCs. This had made him feel discouraged.

Great Victory Pass, on the other hand, was an opportunity. If he couldn't find tasks to earn experience there, then he could only...

Endure a little longer, wait for the server to open.

If everything still fails, I can only consider strategizing against my own senior sister and let a wealthy woman take him away.

——————

Great Victory Pass is located in Tranquil State Eastern Qi County, the capital county of Eastern Qi County. It is protected by dangerous mountains and was renamed "Great Victory Pass" by the former emperor of Wu Zhou after a great victory against the enemy forces in the early days of the country's founding. The emperor expanded the territory by 800 miles to the east and left a note, changing the name of this pass to "Great Victory Pass".

Similarly, the dangerous mountain was renamed "Great Victory Mountain" and the county was renamed "Great Victory District" because "Great Victory Pass" became too famous. The county is commonly referred to as "Great Victory Pass".

Eastern Qi County is adjacent to Eastern Sun County, and Great Victory Pass is more than 400 miles away from Jade Chime District. According to Bai Jin's meaning, they can quickly arrive without waiting for dawn, so Lu Bei hurriedly set off with Bai Jin.

Before leaving, she went to Four Thorns Peak again, pressed Ding Lei to the ground and rubbed him, then generously paid double the price, allowing him to complete the repair work of the Ascension Gate within two months.

Ding Lei: "......"

He remained silent, tightly holding the silver ticket, nodding to indicate that he can complete the work on time.

Lu Bei nodded secretly. This is the power of money. He understood it deeply when he was still a player, and now as an NPC, it makes even more sense.

In the night sky, the sword rainbow cleared the way.

A three-meter-long sword light carried Bai Jin and Lu Bei, cutting through the air with a whistling sound. The sword's edge split the air, surrounded by a hazy white mist, making the sword light stable and unaffected by the wind.

Lu Bei sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes fixed on the figure in front of him. His gaze slowly slid down from her slender waist and stopped at a certain area.

Bai Jin: "......"

As a practitioner, she was sensitive to sensory stimuli. She had already noticed the gaze behind her and thought that her junior brother was not a rude person, so she didn't say anything at first.

Who would have thought that he would become more and more audacious.

Indeed, Nine Bamboo Mountain had caused a lot of trouble. It was a wise choice to take Lu Bei away early.

After a while, Bai Jin felt uncomfortable being stared at, her brows furrowed, and she turned around to say something, but she saw Lu Bei sweating on his forehead, his eyes fixed on the front.

"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm afraid of heights."

"......"

"I'm afraid of heights!!"

"Uh... I'll fly faster, we'll be there soon."

...

Great Victory Pass, west.

Surrounded by trees, many pavilions and courtyards appeared.

Lu Bei followed Bai Jin with a pale face. When they landed, he resolutely refused her kind offer of a helping hand.

This was his last bit of stubbornness.

Great Victory Pass is the largest residence of the Extreme Monarch Sect in Tranquil State. Its defenses are beyond the reach of Nine Bamboo Mountain. Bai Jin didn't want to cause trouble, so she put away her sword early and walked with Lu Bei to their friend's residence.

Lu Bei supported this decision. Walking is fine. The heavens gave humans two legs, not wings, to tell them to walk properly instead of flying around all the time.

And, it's a good opportunity to take it slow, so as not to arrive at someone's doorstep and shower them with gifts.

Ding dong!

In front of a mansion, Bai Jin rang the copper bell, and after a moment, an old man came with a lantern to open the door.

"Miss Bai, Madam is waiting in the hall. Please follow me."

"Thank you."

Bai Jin nodded and led Lu Bei into the house. At this moment, she was wearing a white veil, the standard attire for going out.

As they walked through the front yard, Lu Bei saw the old friend that Bai Jin often mentioned in the hall.

In terms of appearance, she was a plump and beautiful woman in her thirties, with a decent temperament, but compared to Bai Jin, she lacked a touch of ethereal charm.

"My good senior sister, why... are you here again?"
