Chapter 946: The Strengthening of the Jinbao Pen
Chapter 946: The Strengthening of the Jinbao Pen
September 25, 2017
Outside Beifeng City, the mysterious Taoist had attracted several pairs of eyes as he made his move. After all, those who dared to court death were few, and everyone wanted to see the outcome of such a daring act.
The system directly responded to the expectations of these onlookers, not only forcefully taking away the mysterious Taoist with three purple thunderbolts but also causing those watching from afar to spray blood from their mouths in shock.
Among the spectators, only the one on the small hill could clearly see the Taoist being blasted into ashes.
Zhang Jiao glanced at the Taoist, who had not even turned to ashes, and then shook his head before turning to leave.
As the Taoist was being obliterated, a middle-aged man in the city lord's mansion who had been holding the hilt of his sword finally released his grip.
At this moment, the dust truly settled.
While this was happening, the Third Princess was slightly dazed, seemingly still unable to process the fact that her boss had been defeated without even showing his full strength. She stood there, staring at the remains left by the Taoist.
Compared to the Third Princess, the mysterious ancient zither reacted much faster.
As the mysterious Taoist was blasted into ashes, the ancient zither he had left behind floated towards Lu Hai Kong's zither, which then shattered with a 'crack' sound, scattering into pieces. Lu Hai Kong's zither, once again, gained a portion of fusion.
Lu Hai Kong never expected that the collection of the mysterious zither would be so fortunate and swift, and in such a short time, the collection had already reached three-fourths. It seemed that creating a complete version of the mysterious zither might not be such a difficult task after all.
After the fusion of the mysterious zither was complete, Lu Hai Kong trembled slightly and immediately flew towards the city lord's mansion.
Looking at the mysterious zither that had returned to the city lord's mansion, Lu Hai Kong was still slightly dazed, but the Third Princess understood that this sudden event had come to an end.
Shaking her head, the Third Princess dismissed the doubts in her mind and directly picked up the items left by the Taoist, returning to Beifeng City.
Beifeng City, the City Lord's Mansion.
Despite the mysterious Taoist's appearance and the system's forceful obliteration, the entire incident lasted only twenty to thirty minutes.
But for Lu Hai Kong, those twenty to thirty minutes were truly unbearable. With his Dragon Rising, Tiger Roaring, he could barely endure five minutes, and with great difficulty, he relied on the Jinbao Pen to last ten more minutes, the national treasure also struggling to hold on.
It was clear that with the current luck in Bingzhou, the Jinbao Pen, a national treasure, could not be suppressed. Even if Lu Hai Kong wanted to turn it into a feudal lord's item, it would be in vain, and at most, he could only support it for a while longer.
But Lu Hai Kong currently had no other choice, so he gritted his teeth and endured.
For twenty to thirty minutes, the luck poured into the Jinbao Pen, causing it to creak as if it was about to shatter.
Fortunately, luck favored Lu Hai Kong once again, and as the Jinbao Pen was about to shatter, the mysterious zither on the other side had already completed its fusion, instantly returning to the city lord's mansion.
With the mysterious zither's arrival, Lu Hai Kong's crisis was resolved.
In the city lord's mansion, the originally rampant luck became incredibly well-behaved, and as the mysterious zither arrived, the out-of-control luck began to flow back into Lu Hai Kong's body, returning bit by bit to the city lord's mansion.
Under the suppression of the mysterious zither, Lu Hai Kong spent twenty-odd minutes finally emptying the luck within his body.
As Lu Hai Kong emptied the luck within him, his gaze fell upon the Jinbao Pen, and at this moment, the luck that had been flowing back into him was almost gone, with only a tiny bit remaining, still flowing back.
Seeing this, Lu Hai Kong swiftly took action.
Whether it was Lu Hai Kong's new occupation after his transformation or the Dragon Rising, Tiger Roaring he had obtained from Han Lingdi, both were related to dragon energy or luck.
Lu Hai Kong's current task was to keep the remaining bit of luck within the Jinbao Pen.
Lu Hai Kong was well aware that after the previous rampage, this national treasure was not far from being rendered useless. If he took any further action, this national treasure-level item would be finished.
In this situation, Lu Hai Kong decided to leave that bit of luck within the Jinbao Pen.
In the vast world of the game, there existed a mysterious and abstract force known as 'Destiny'. This force had a wide range of applications, from enhancing one's inner power and combat abilities, as seen with Lu Hai Kong, to manifesting as a protective spirit or a magical spell for self-defense, much like the Han Lingdi's aura. Furthermore, this force could be used to suppress the power of the land and sky itself.
There was another way to utilize this force, and that was to enhance treasures.
If Lu Hai Kong was willing, he could use Destiny to empower a 'System Upgrade Order', creating an enhanced version. However, the cost for such an enhancement was not insignificant, and it was a risky venture.
Although enhancing the System Upgrade Order might not be worth the cost, it could at least preserve a national treasure, and Lu Hai Kong believed it was a worthwhile investment.
Lu Hai Kong channeled a stream of Destiny, sealing it within the 'Treasure Basin'. From this moment on, the Destiny would have no further connection to Bingzhou, and the nearly shattered Treasure Basin began to transform under the influence of the sealed Destiny.
System Notification: "Due to your interception of Destiny, you have damaged the foundation of Bingzhou. Within the next three months, a random county within Bingzhou will encounter a natural disaster."
"What's going on? Is this necessary? Am I being punished? I only intercepted a small amount of Destiny, why is this happening?" Lu Hai Kong felt wronged. He had only taken action because the 'Mysterious Ancient Zither' had devoured nearly thirty percent of Destiny without any issues.
However, Lu Hai Kong had not anticipated that the Ancient Zither would cause such a reaction. As soon as he took action, the system responded.
"A county will encounter a natural disaster, and the loss will be in the billions. This calculation makes the enhancement of the 'Treasure Basin' not worth the cost, and I might even incur a significant loss."
"Forget it, it seems that Destiny is not something to be trifled with."
Lu Hai Kong said, picking up the evolving Treasure Basin and leaving the City Lord's Hall.
As soon as Lu Hai Kong stepped out, he noticed the Three Princesses waiting for him. The City Lord's Hall was not accessible to others unless accompanied by Lu Hai Kong, so he proceeded inside.
"The one who took action was a Taoist Priest, but he was struck down by purple lightning and left this behind." After Lu Hai Kong exited, the Three Princesses handed over the item left by the Taoist Priest.
Upon hearing about the purple lightning, Lu Hai Kong paused, and a realization dawned on him. He understood that the system had intervened, but why?
"Was that Taoist Priest powerful?"
"Extremely powerful, even more so than Dong Zhuo."
The Three Princesses' response caused Lu Hai Kong's face to twitch. He immediately took the item from the Three Princesses, ready to examine what the Taoist Priest had left behind.
However, at that moment, a guard from the City Lord's Mansion, known as the 'Wolf Guard', rushed in with news. Their words made Lu Hai Kong completely forget about the item in his hands.
"Master, news from the North Tower! Xi Shi is severely injured and unconscious!"
"Immediately send Hua Shi over!"
Lu Hai Kong's expression changed, and he quickly stored the item and rushed to the North Tower...
