Chapter 114 Parting
When they were traveling two days ago, Lu Yuguan stayed in the carriage and did not come out.
Zhao Zimo came to him to apologize again and again, but Lu Yuguan not only refused to see him, but also asked Li Chonglin to help him refuse.
This made Li Chonglin very happy.
He originally thought that if Lu Yuguan didn't have any contact with Zhao Zimo, he would definitely listen to him obediently.
But after two days, Lu Yuguan didn't say anything to Li Chonglin, let alone mention the duties of a sword servant.
Li Chonglin saw that Lu Yuguan was in a bad mood and didn't want to make things difficult for himself.
What happened along the way made Lu Yuguan think a lot.
"Houzhuang's mysterious hairy ape, Youmingzi's robbery, not to mention the elusive Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord watching from behind..."
"Ji Xian might be in Nanzhou," Lu Yuguan pondered, "I don't know if my strength is enough to resist the demon cultivator."
Although he was only accompanying Li Chonglin as a sword servant, he didn't care about the so-called autumn hunt.
But the laptop that suddenly appeared before the expedition eventually pushed him into the turbulent sea.
"System, view the properties panel."
After Lu Yuguan finished speaking, a translucent panel appeared before his eyes.
[Name: Lu Yuguan]
[Civilization Value: 52.8]
[Cultivation: The foundation building period is complete]
[Spiritual Power: 1229 (+23%)/999]
[Spiritual Root Attribute: Advanced·True Wood Spiritual Root (Jianmu Seed)]
[Kung Fu: Internal Kung Fu | Furnace Cauldron Demon Control Heart Technique (Silver Furnace Cauldron Heart Sutra Completed), Internal Kung Fu | Jianmu Blessing]
[Kung Fu: External Kung Fu | Solar Terms, Part 1 (Beginning of Spring Breeze/Sacrificial Rain/Hibernation Thunder/Falling Spring Breeze), External Kung Fu | Ten Thousand Trees and Thorns (Perfect), External Kung Fu | Solid Wood Armor (Perfect)]

[Weapons: [Slow Down (Incomplete)], [Green Bamboo Staff]]
[Divinity: Kaitian (2.10%), Xuanyuan (9.10%)]
[Magic Powers: "Regeneration of Broken Limbs" (on cooldown), "Silent Revival" (on cooldown)]
[Multiple "None" attribute item columns are hidden here]
"I'm getting closer and closer to breaking through to the Golden Core Stage," Lu Yuguan muttered as he looked at the spiritual power column. "Twenty-three percent probability, it seems I still need to work harder..."
wrong.
Why did my civilization values disappear so much?
"Tong-chan!"
[Host, you consumed a lot of civilization value when fighting against the ghost moth]
[This system does not put money into private pockets]
"Zhao! Screw you, you demon cultivator!"
Lu Yuguan cursed.
[Ding! Host swearing detected]
[Deduct 1 civilization points]
Lu Yuguan: ...
I finally understand why all the evil cultivators are beaten.
The current reserve of civilization values is still a bit small. If the magic cultivators in Nanzhou are all at the level of Youmingzi, these civilization values of mine probably won't be able to sustain my consumption.
"It seems that we need to come up with some civilization values!——"
"System, can I view all current tasks?" Lu Yuguan asked.
[Opening the task details page...]
[Main Quest丨Mystery of Life]
[Current total progress: 20%/100%]
[Side Quest丨Return the Vast Sea Mirror (Seven Stars)]
[Current progress: 0/1]
[Side Quest丨Hidden Dragon (Four Stars)]
[Current progress: 2/5]
[Side Quest丨Good People Are Rewarded (Two Stars)]
[Current progress: 1/3]
"Hiss... I almost forgot about the first mission."
After Qianhua Tower was cleared out by the royal family, the original owner had already fled, and the Hanhai Treasure Mirrors in the hands of the guards were also taken away.
Lu Yuguan carefully recalled the task prompts at that time and suddenly realized something was wrong.
"That shouldn't be the case...wasn't the initial mission difficulty three stars?"
"Why is it showing seven stars now?"
Lu Yuguan almost dropped his jaw in surprise.
[Host, the difficulty of the mission will change according to the time and events.]
[If this task is completed under the influence of other events, it may eventually disappear]
"What? My civilization value might disappear?" Lu Yuguan almost vomited blood. "This is too unreliable!"
[Host, this is not a game save file, please understand]
"Okay, okay, I understand. However, since the difficulty of the mission has increased, the final reward should also be increased, right?" Lu Yuguan tentatively pointed at the mission reward.
[Mission Reward: 8 Civilization Value]
Lu Yuguan: ...
No.
The difficulty will increase, but the rewards won’t increase?
[Host, this system will never allow civilization numerical inflation, please rest assured]
"I don't worry about you, you big-headed ghost!"
Lu Yuguan was completely furious.
"Tongzi, tell me honestly, did you embezzle it?"
[Ding! Detected that the host is slandering this system]
[Deduct 2 civilization points]
Lu Yuguan shut his mouth obediently.
Seeing that it was impossible to gain any benefits from the original mission, Lu Yuguan could only place his hopes on the southern border.
"According to what they said, the people in the southern border are suffering."
"If this is true, then I have a chance to show off my skills."
Lu Yuguan thought about it.
Shua la la...
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Li Chonglin and Zhao Zimo stood at the door at the same time.
Lu Yuguan looked at the expressions of the two men, one looked unhappy and the other looked hesitant.
"Have you reached the southern border?"
Lu Yuguan asked calmly.
Li Chonglin shook his head and said, "Not yet. Once we cross the mountains and take the official road, we'll reach the city directly."
"Then I'll go back to sleep."
For some reason these days, perhaps because of the unfamiliar climate and water, Lu Yuguan always felt dizzy and had a headache.
Lu Yuguan was about to turn his head when Zhao Zimo grabbed his arm.
"What are you doing?" Lu Yuguan asked coldly.
Zhao Zimo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, very reluctantly: "I have to leave. The Northern Territory Monks have other tasks and need to go deep into the South Continent. I guess it will be very late before I return."
Lu Yuguan glanced at him and said, "Why are you telling me this?"
Zhao Zimo smiled bitterly and said, "Yuguan, are you still unwilling to talk to me properly?"
"Yuguan doesn't want to tell you, so don't stand here. Go quickly, Zhao Waiqing. The Northern Monks Group still needs you." Li Chonglin said gloatingly.
Zhao Zimo didn't bother to pay attention to him and continued to instruct Lu Yuguan, "Be careful and wait for me to come back. If the prince bullies you, I will teach him a lesson for you when I come back."
"Zhao Zimo, what do you mean?" Li Chonglin asked angrily.
"You don't have to help me, I can do it myself." Lu Yuguan said speechlessly.
After Zhao Zimo finished speaking, he no longer had any concerns. He glanced at the blue necklace exposed on Lu Yuguan's chest, and a satisfied smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I am leaving."
After Zhao Zimo finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Li Chonglin spoke only after Zhao Zimo rode away with Zhou Zhou and others.
"You're so persistent—"
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is almost there too," Lu Yuguan said, turning back to the carriage. "Your Highness, please remember your promise to me: once we return to Kyoto, we will have nothing to do with each other."
When Li Chonglin heard Lu Yuguan's decisive words, he clenched his fists and felt mixed emotions.
"Yuguan, take a rest. We'll talk again when we get to Taocheng."
After saying that, Li Chonglin lowered the curtain and turned to leave.
After a while, someone else lifted the car curtain. It was Bai Xiao and Bai Ming.
"Second brother, say goodbye to third brother. We won't see each other again until a month later." Bai Xiao pushed Bai Ming's shoulder and said.
Bai Ming's young face was still a little nervous. As a flower that had just come out of a greenhouse, he was obviously not used to the outside environment.
"I'm about to establish my foundation," Bai Ming said quickly, "Although I can't compare to you, I won't lose face for the Bai family."
"understood."
Lu Yuguan answered lazily.
"Don't be so proud. After all, I am still your brother!" Bai Ming was so angry when he saw Lu Yuguan was so calm that he raised his voice.
"Why are you calling us family? If you have the guts to be so tough when meeting a demon cultivator, you still have to put on airs in front of me?"
Bai Xiao pressed Bai Ming's head and cursed.
"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts..." Bai Ming shouted.
Lu Yuguan was amused by him.
"Big brother, second brother, safe journey."
"I know, you too."
After Bai Xiao finished speaking, he lowered the curtain for Lu Yuguan.
With the blessings from his family, Lu Yuguan finally felt a little comforted.
He looked at Li Chonglin and Li Chongjiu who were talking outside the window, and his thoughts drifted to the city that Li Chonglin had just mentioned.
"Taocheng."
"I wonder what it looks like?"
