Chapter 74: There Were People Stealing Monsters

Not long after, the few flying swords spun in the air and landed beside Lin An. Then, an aurora flashed in the distance, and a cultivator riding on a flying sword flew over.

“I am Yang Luo of the Water Mirror Sect. Who dares to harm the wealth of our sect?”

The sword-wielding cultivator hovered in the air and loudly rebuked Lin An.

Lin An had heard of the cultivator’s tactic before. It involved taking control of the public’s opinion first and claiming that the ink devil beast was the sect’s own wealth right from the start. In that case, the Water Mirror Sect cultivators would have a moral advantage.

“You guys are too shameless. This ink devil beast was raised naturally. How did it become your sect’s wealth? Could it be that you gave birth to it yourself?” Lin An replied loudly.

The sword-wielding cultivator sneered, “This ink devil beast ran out from our sect. Now that you’ve killed it, we don’t intend to hold you responsible. Do you still want to take its remains away?”

“Bullsh*t! How can you prove that this ink devil beast ran out from your sect? All the ink devil beasts in the world look the same. You’re clearly trying to snatch the fruits of my victory.”

“Hehe, since you say that I’m going to snatch it by force, then I’ll have to snatch it by force.” The sword-wielding cultivator sneered.

Suddenly, the flying sword next to him flew past Lin An’s eyes and produced a piercing sound.

The little girl’s face instantly turned pale, and she subconsciously took a step back.

Just by looking at the appearance of the sword-wielding cultivator, one could tell that he had some skills. How could an ordinary cultivator have the power to levitate the swords? Therefore, his cultivation level was probably above the golden core stage.

The little girl tugged at Lin An’s sleeve and said timidly, “Why don’t we give him the ink devil’s carcass? Even if you can beat him, you can’t beat the entire Water Mirror Sect. If you beat the junior disciples, then the senior disciples will come. It’ll be an endless stream, and it will be extremely annoying. This is just a small amount of wealth, so just endure it.”

“Endure?” Lin An smiled. “Ever since I came to this world, I haven’t met anyone or anything that I’ve had to endure.”

“Then let’s see who’s the real deal!” The sword-wielding cultivator commanded. In an instant, four flying swords around him transformed into golden light and flew towards Lin An.

However, Lin An’s expression didn’t change. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and within a few breaths, he could clearly see the trajectory of the flying swords that were covered in golden light as they flew towards him.

He quickly raised his hand and waved it. Abruptly, the four flying swords slowed down their motion, and Lin An picked them all out in mid-air.

His physical fitness was already comparable to that of a peak golden core stage cultivator and coupled with the fact that the morality demon sealing technique had been automatically activated, the flying swords of a mere early-stage golden core stage cultivator could not even scratch his hand.

“Not bad, good stuff!” Lin An mockingly praised the four flying swords. Then, he activated the Eastern Emperor Bell and swallowed all the flying swords.

Pfft!

The Eastern Emperor Bell immediately devoured the flying swords, and a defensive force surged back toward the cultivator. Suddenly, the Water Mirror Sect disciple spat out a mouthful of blood.

“How dare you!” The sword control cultivator was furious. He summoned his natal flying sword and charged at Lin An.

To his dismay, Lin An used the same trick again. He raised his hand and summoned the natal flying sword into his hand.

The natal flying sword was a little stronger than the other four flying swords. It hummed and struggled in Lin An’s hand, and it almost broke free and escaped.

Lin An once again summoned the Eastern Emperor Bell, and it absorbed the life-bound flying sword.

Immediately, the sword-wielding cultivator fell from the sky like a kite with a broken bridle and fell to his death on the ground.

When Lin An realized that the Water Mirror Sect disciple had fallen to his death, he was shocked. How could a mighty golden core cultivator die by falling from such a height? It seemed that his skills had been too fake.

However, Lin An didn’t know that it was actually because he had absorbed the disciple’s life-bound flying sword, which had caused the sword-wielding cultivator to be seriously injured.

Without the life-bound flying sword, the cultivator couldn’t live any longer, and the sudden fall from the sky had been the last straw. Therefore, all of those factors had combined together and resulted in the Water Mirror Sect disciple’s death.

At the side, Zuo Nanshuang had been stunned as she looked at the scene that had unfolded in front of her.

She had originally thought that because Lin An was only a golden core stage cultivator, while his opponent was a sword cultivator, the battle would favor the Water Mirror Sect disciple because he had the advantage of flying.

She had felt that Lin An wouldn’t survive the bitter fight, but she hadn’t expected that in just two rounds, his opponent would fall from the sky and die. It was too unbelievable.

[Ding! You have successfully killed a golden core stage cultivator and obtained a lucky gift bag. Do you want to open it and take a look?]

After the sword control cultivator had passed away, a crisp notification from the success rate system suddenly rang in Lin An’s ears, and he saw something that looked like a lucky gift bag in the system’s storage space.

“Open it. Let me take a look,” Lin An instructed the success rate system.

[Ding! The lucky gift bag will open according to the host’s wishes.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the lucky draw function.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the method of obtaining lucky draw coins.]

[Ding, Congratulations to the host for obtaining one hundred lucky draw coins.]

After opening the lucky gift bag, a series of system notifications rang out, and Lin An activated the lucky draw function.

The virtual screen unfolded in front of his eyes, and Lin An saw a row of lucky draw machines displayed on it.

From left to right, the lottery coins required for a single draw were ten, one hundred, one thousand, and ten thousand, and they systematically increased in sequence.

The lucky gift bag also provided him with an initial one hundred lottery coins. The one hundred lottery coins could draw the first lottery machine ten times, but they could only draw the second lottery machine once.

Lin An thought about it and decided to try the first pool.

The virtual screen was a touch screen and there were two buttons under the lottery machine that had the words “single draw” and “ten consecutive draws” inscribed over them.

After giving it some thought, Lin An reached out and tapped on the single draw button.

The light and shadow on the virtual screen started to flow as if there was a ball of light spinning in circles.

[Ding! The lottery has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Lightning Dharma Body skill.]

[The Lightning Dharma Body technique enables a cultivator to transform into lightning. The body is like a god and a ghost, and its movements are swift and unpredictable. The body’s physical attacks are usually accompanied by lightning damage.]

Even though the reward looked very powerful, it was only a low-level human-rank skill, and this made Lin An a little depressed.

However, after the lottery had been completed, Lin An immediately saw an exchange button appear on the lottery machine.

There was only one treasure on the exchange button that could be exchanged: the cultivation method upgrade point.

Lin An pressed the exchange button since he wanted to get more information about the cultivation method upgrade point.

[Ding! You have obtained a cultivation method upgrade point. Do you want to upgrade your cultivation method? Hint, the cultivation method that you can upgrade now is the Lightning Dharma Body Technique.]

Lin An could only upgrade one cultivation method, and it seemed that only a cultivation method given by the system could be upgraded, but a cultivation method that had been obtained in the world could not be upgraded.

In addition, the cultivation method upgrade point also cost ten lucky draw coins, which was the same price as one lucky draw.

“Upgrade the cultivation method.”

Lin An chose to upgrade the cultivation method. Otherwise, this cultivation method upgrade point wouldn’t be of much use.

[Ding! You have spent one cultivation method upgrade point. Congratulations on upgrading the Lightning Dharma Body to the middle-grade human rank.]

The middle-grade human rank cultivation method was still unremarkable, so Lin An pressed the exchange button again.

[Ding! You have received a cultivation method upgrade point. Do you want to upgrade your cultivation method? Hint, the cultivation method you can upgrade now is the Lightning Dharma Body technique.]

“Upgrade the cultivation method.”

[Ding! You have spent one cultivation method upgrade point. Congratulations on upgrading your lightning body to the upper-grade human rank.]
