Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 49: You Have a New Mission, Please Pay Attention

Having a conversation with Lu Bei was very unpleasant. Even if you ignored him, he would find a way to infuriate you.

She Xuan secretly thought that being angry would harm her own body. Her body belonged to her, and there was no need to let Lu Bei hurt her. She went straight to the point and said, "Master Lu is not at Three Pristine Peak to make a fortune. What brings you to my humble shop?"

"So you've already found out about my background so quickly. I can only say that it's quite warm, Aunt She. I accept your concern with gratitude," Lu Bei said, looking pleasantly surprised.

"Master Lu is joking. It's only natural to be concerned," She Xuan replied, not in a good mood.

She Xuan continued, "The headquarters of the Four Channels Trading Company is in Jade Chime District. They have many business partners in Eastern Sun County, and their sales are extensive. In recent years, they recruited many small businesses to expand their scale, and I was one of them. Master Lu, together with the Zhu Family Trading Company, snatched away the business of Spiritual Bamboo, causing my monthly income to shrink. I have been thinking about Master Lu day and night!"

Thinking about it, She Xuan secretly cursed her bad luck. She had never had good luck since encountering Lu Bei. First, she lost twice in the underground palace and was forced to make a blood oath. Then, her business was intercepted. It seemed like Lu Bei was her nemesis, which was quite eerie.

"Such a thing happened?!" Lu Bei said awkwardly, "The world is really small. Maybe... this is what they call fate!"

"Master Lu, what brings you here?" She Xuan asked again, wanting to quickly send him away.

"I have two things," Lu Bei said, his expression serious. "First, Aunt She, you are a Monster Cultivator. Although your strength is not high and your vision is average, you have cultivated for many years and have rich experience. I have a few questions about Monster Cultivators that I want to consult with you."

She Xuan remained silent.

"I have a friend whose demonic pet is about to transform into a human. He asked me for some suitable techniques, and coincidentally, I found a few books in the underground palace. Can my friend's demonic pet use them? If not, do you have any suitable techniques, Aunt She?" Lu Bei asked.

"It depends on the situation. Generally speaking, it's not possible," She Xuan replied.

"Why? Aren't they all Monster Cultivators?" Lu Bei asked.

"Monster Cultivator is just a general term. Each situation needs to be analyzed specifically. It's too complicated to explain in detail..." She Xuan furrowed her brows for a moment and said, "To put it simply, although we are both Monster Cultivators, your pet is essentially a monster, while I am a human. Do you understand?"

"It's my friend's pet," Lu Bei said firmly. Seeing She Xuan respond with a cold smile, he changed the topic and said, "Aunt She, is it possible for me to become a Monster Cultivator like you?"

"Do you want to undergo Blood Transformation?" She Xuan asked in surprise. "From what I know, it is indeed possible. Ten Thousand Monster Country has tried it before, but the risks are extremely high. Only one out of ten survivors, and there is no further information."

Halfway through her words, She Xuan suddenly froze, her cold tone turning warm as she said with concern, "But that's for others. You are different. Not only do you have extremely good luck, but your physique also far surpasses ordinary people. Good fortune comes to those who are kind-hearted, and the chances of success are very high. I suggest you give it a try."

Lu Bei rolled his eyes and said, "Aunt She, is this how you repay someone who saved your life?"

"When did you become someone who saved my life?" She Xuan said with a laugh.

"At that time, I had a knife to your neck, and you survived because of me. Isn't that a life-saving favor?" Lu Bei argued.

"..." She Xuan fell silent.

"The second thing is, when we were in the underground palace last time, Aunt She, you mentioned another business and invited me to join you. At that time, I didn't ask much about it. Could you please explain it in detail?" Lu Bei narrowed his eyes. As a straightforward person, he came here to ask for a mission.

"Sure," She Xuan nodded. Although she was unhappy with the subordinate relationship between her and Lu Bei, she had to admit that because of this passive relationship, the level of trust between her and Lu Bei was higher than with others.

In fact, even if Lu Bei didn't mention it, she would have taken the initiative to come for this matter.

Then, She Xuan explained the situation of the ruins. The tomb was indeed a tomb, but it did not belong to the ancestors of the Zhu Family. Instead, it belonged to the descendants of the Qing Qian Imperial Dynasty.

In the Nine States World, a hundred years could be called a dynasty, five hundred years could be called an imperial dynasty, and a thousand years could be called a divine dynasty.

Qing Qian was established long before Wu Zhou. It had a vast territory and a strong national power, but it perished due to internal and external troubles. It was only a few decades away from becoming a divine dynasty.

The foreign troubles here, Wu Zhou bears a great deal of responsibility.

When Wu Zhou established the country, Qing Qian's national strength declined severely, with constant internal turmoil and disputes. The overall situation was irreversible, and even with a capable ruler, there was no way to turn the tide. The country's demise was inevitable within three generations.

One was a fully armed strong man, the other was a sickly person leaning on an IV stand. The result is self-evident. When the two countries met on the battlefield, Wu Zhou beat Qing Qian to the ground.

The war was fought several times, and each time it was Qing Qian who had to cede territory and pay reparations. The Battle of Great Victory Pass was one of the more famous instances.

To put it this way, the three states and about ten counties in the eastern part of Wu Zhou, such as Eastern Qi County and Eastern Sun County, were all territories of Qing Qian eight hundred years ago.

With such a rich piece of meat, the surrounding countries naturally did not want Wu Zhou to enjoy it alone. Like a sickly person surrounded by strong men, Qing Qian became a part of history with resentment for its demise.

After the fall of Qing Qian, surviving members of the royal family hid for a hundred years and plotted several attempts to restore the country. Although they all ended in failure, the bloodline has not been extinguished to this day.

The descendants of Qing Qian deeply resent Wu Zhou. If it weren't for Wu Zhou's military invasion, Qing Qian would definitely have been among the Divine Dynasty for a thousand years. If it weren't for Wu Zhou uncovering the final fig leaf, Qing Qian would not have fallen into the dead end of being besieged by multiple countries. If it weren't for Wu Zhou's wanted order, they would not have had to hide and change their identities like rats crossing the street.

In short, Wu Zhou deserves to die.

This also explains why a tomb of the Qing Qian royal family has nothing to do with bloodline mechanisms and requires the blood of the Zhu family to open.

The hatred runs deep, and they would love to drain the blood of the Zhu family in one go.

This trip was not in vain. While She Xuan was speaking, there was an information prompt on his personal panel. You have a new mission, please check it carefully.

[You have received the mission [Ruins Exploration]]

[Mission description: An ancient tomb from a previous dynasty has attracted various forces to vie for it. There seems to be unknown secrets hidden within. Is it a conspiracy or something else? And who is behind it all? Aren't you curious?]

[Main mission: Survival, reward 800,000 experience points]

[Main mission: Explore the ruins, reward based on contribution]

[Side mission: Not triggered]

[Accept?]

[Yes] [No]

Lu Bei frowned and fell silent. The 800,000 basic experience reward was hard to refuse, but the mission description made him hesitate. This exploration of the ruins seemed to have hidden secrets, and it was highly likely to involve the main mission of version 1.0. With his current strength, he could handle weak opponents, but once he got involved in the competition among major forces, he would become someone else's prey.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Is it because the bloodline mechanism requires the blood of the Zhu family, and you don't want to get involved in this trouble?" She Xuan raised an eyebrow provocatively. "Last time in the Monster Cultivator senior's Cave Mansion, you were much braver than you are now."

"Don't provoke me, it's useless to me."

Lu Bei shook his head and ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of experience. Those who dared to take risks would survive, while those who were timid would starve.

Looking at it from a positive perspective, if it really involved the main mission of version 1.0, no matter which one it was, it would bring him long-term and huge experience benefits. Giving up the mission would be a pity.

Lu Bei glanced at his personal panel. The attributes that had skyrocketed overnight suddenly became weak, and after a moment of contemplation, his gaze settled on She Xuan.

His gaze was direct and provocative, with no attempt to hide it. She Xuan, who was lying on her side, suddenly sat up, furrowing her brows. "What are you doing?"

"Come with me, let's leave the city and find a place where no one is around."

"Do what?"

"You have so much resentment, let me help you vent it."

Lu Bei stood up and said, "I know Aunt She is not happy with me. I'll give you a chance. Let's have a fight. Regardless of the outcome, I won't hold it against you."

"Are you serious? What if I hurt you?"

She Xuan's heart secretly rejoiced, her expression unchanged as she asked. She knew Lu Bei well enough to know that he could eat anything, but he couldn't afford to lose. Suddenly doing a good deed and accumulating virtue, there was a ninety percent chance that he had ulterior motives and was digging a pit for her to jump into.

She had to make sure.

"If you hurt me, it's on me."

Lu Bei moved his limbs a bit. "Stop talking nonsense. I know you're afraid that I'll trick you. Let me ask you one question. Now I'm giving you a chance to beat me up. Will you take it?"

"Beat you up!"

She Xuan said decisively. As long as she could beat Lu Bei once, even if she fell into a pit, she would accept it.
