Chapter 1006: The First Quest
“Ding!”
One of Luo Tian’s favorite sounds was heard.
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for killing Bai Ying. You have gained 3,900 experience points, 600 yuan energy…”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for gaining a Yuan Energy Pill.”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for gaining the Vajra Sword Technique.”
Item: Yuan Energy Pill
Grade: Three
Description: Instantly gain 1000 yuan energy!
After glancing at the attributes of the Yuan Energy Pill, Luo Tian said to himself, “This medicinal pill is really not bad. Even though it’s only a thousand yuan of energy, its usefulness comes from getting instant energy as opposed to gradual. I should get some more of these if I get a chance in the future.”
Yuan energy was extremely important to any martial artist.
It was even more important to Luo Tian, a person who depended on a gaming system. Once there aren’t any monsters or people to kill, his yuan energy would be depleted without a source to recover it. Then, he would have to rely on medicinal pills to recover his energy.
Item: Vajra Sword Technique
Grade: Eight
Description: A force moves before the sword moves. The power of a Vajra Warrior that dances through the air!
“Good!”
“Learn it!” Luo Tian made a thought.
Even though this sword technique was in the eighth grade, it was already considered not too bad. This sword technique would definitely complete his Power of Invisibility once he gets his hands on it. The new skill appeared on his skill page once Luo Tian learned it.
“He’s dead!”
“Eldest Senior Brother is dead!”
“He really killed him?”
“Bai Xiong, Bai Lingling, you two should prepare for your death! Patriarch Bai Yuan will not let you two off! You just wait and see!”
Those Bai family disciples were staring blankly at the scene, not daring to believe what they were seeing.
Looking at Bai Ying’s motionless body, they revealed a very scared expression on their faces. They weren’t afraid of Luo Tian or Bai Xiong but were scared of Bai Yuan, the new patriarch of the Bai family. His only son was dead, so one can imagine how angry he would be!
Luo Tian turned to look at those Bai family disciples and said, “There’s no need for you guys to worry about whether they are going to die or not. But there is one thing I can confirm, and that is that all of you will be dying very soon!”
“Fire Qilin!”
“Burn them all to death! Do not let a single one escape!”
“Roar~!”
The Fire Qilin gave a roar upon getting a command from Luo Tian. Its mouth then started spraying out flame after flame, instantly killing the Bai family disciples. It was simply strong to a complete mess! Just when he thought of his own God Flame, Luo Tian’s heart wanted to shatter.
“Sigh~…”
“God Flame, oh, God Flame. If you were like the Fire Qilin, where every move would be an instant kill, then my life in the Ancient World would be much easier. Unfortunately… sigh~…” Luo Tian sighed repeatedly.
But he also understood that the Fire Qilin was able to do instant kills because the levels of these Bai family disciples weren’t very high.
If he encountered a higher-level martial artist, it would be impossible for the Fire Qilin to kill them instantly.
Moreover, a group of low-level martial artists could attack the Fire Qilin together, and it wouldn’t be able to resist. Its health points were simply too low to resist, which meant it couldn’t handle a single high level martial artist either. This was its weakest point!
Fortunately, these guys cannot see how much health the Fire Qilin had.
Of course, Luo Tian was the only person who had a system as his cheat, so he could see Fire Qilin’s health bar and the health bars of others!
“Ding!”
“Ding!”
“Ding!”
The system exploded with alert tones.
His experience bar increased point by point. Luo Tian watched them all turn into ashes before muttering softly, “One should always do as they say. I said that you all will die, so all of you have to die here.”
Those words weren’t for the Bai family disciples to hear but for the crowd of Martial Mountain City residents.
As his voice faded, all the Bai family disciples were dead.
Luo Tian swept his gaze at the people who had filled both sides of the street and said indifferently, “You won’t tell anyone else about the death of the Bai family disciples, right? I’m a person who will do as I say. If I find out whoever dares to tip off the Bai family about this, then they will be burnt to ashes just like these Bai family disciples!”
“We won’t!”
“We don’t dare!”
The crowd were all shaking their heads. Who would dare at this point?
Luo Tian was definitely a lunatic.
In their eyes, Luo Tian was a homicidal maniac who didn’t care about consequences. He didn’t even take the Bai family seriously, so how can little martial artists like them dare to snitch on him to the Bai family? Unless they no longer wanted to live?
Luo Tian just wanted to buy himself a little extra time to go to Towering Cloud City.
He would never fantasize that he could hide this incident for ten days to half a month. Just a little bit of time was enough. But what he didn’t expect was that no one in Martial Mountain City dared to report this to the Bai family!
The Bai family didn’t know at all!
Based on the reports, Bai Yuan thought his son had followed Bai Lingling into Martial Mountain, and it wouldn’t be long before he would bring Bai Lingling back. The marriage with the Ouyang family would then proceed, and he would be able to get a firmer foothold in the Bai family. This, in turn, would allow the Bai family to get a firmer foothold in Towering Cloud City as well.
————————-
The crowd dispersed.
Luo Tian packed up all the things that the twelve sect leaders and those Bai family disciples had snatched from the Gambling Pavilion and then placed them in a courtyard behind the Gambling Pavilion.
Just as he walked out of his room, Bai Xiong and Bai Lingling were standing there waiting for him.
Luo Tian asked, “Something has happened to the Bai family. Why aren’t you two rushing back?”
Bai Lingling didn’t want to beat around the bush. She looked at Luo Tian and directly said, “I need your help!”
She was still hurt by what Luo Tian had said to Bai Ying regarding her, but now was not the time to care about such things. The Bai family was in chaos, and she had to save her father, who was imprisoned in the Black Wind Cave. But with just the two siblings, they were unable to accomplish such a feat!
She needed help! She needed Luo Tian’s help!
Luo Tian didn’t want to get involved in this mess because the Bai family’s life or death had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to save his friends and then leave. It was as simple as that!
Just when he wanted to refuse her…
“Ding!”
The system gave off an alert tone.
“Quest: Help Bai Lingling and save the Bai family!”
“Grade: B”
“Reward: 18,000 experience points, 1000 yuan energy, and one Yuan Energy Pill.”
A quest was triggered?!
This was the first quest that Luo Tian had triggered since coming to the Ancient World!
“I can’t afford to pass by the experience points!”
“Damn it!”
“Since I’m going to the Bai family anyway, then I’ll have to take a dip into the muddy waters!” Luo Tian made up his mind.
He then looked at Bai Lingling and said, “You need my help? The Bai family is a silver level force. What can I, a Four Elements martial artist, even do to help?”
Bai Lingling bit her lips before saying, “One hundred thousand xuan coins!”
A glint flashed in Luo Tian’s eyes as he said to himself, “One hundred thousand xuan coins will allow me to unseal one martial skill!”
But Luo Tian pretended like he didn’t really care.
Bai Lingling then said, “One hundred and fifty thousand xuan coins! Are you helping or not?!”
Luo Tian looked at her and saw a look of frustration in her eyes. It was obvious that she was getting angry with him. He then said to himself, “Wow, 150,000 will let me unseal two martial skills!”
Bai Lingling angrily huffed, “Luo Tian, I know you’re also going to the Bai family to save Dongfang Shuo and Yao Hai. We have the same goal, so why don’t you help us out a bit?”
“I’ll help.”
“I didn’t say I wasn’t going to help.”
Luo Tian smiled as he looked at Bai Lingling from top to bottom, then bottom back to top. “Apart from the 150,000 xuan coins, I have one more condition. If you promise me that, then I’ll go with you to the Bai family right away!”
