Legacy of Wei Wu Achieved

Outside the mine.

"Steward Xu, I found Red Flame Crystal."

The sun was high in the sky when Mu Ye walked out of the mine.

Steward Xu was stunned.

"You little brat, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"Follow me!" Mu Ye said with a smile.

With that, Mu Ye led Steward Xu into the mine.

Many stewards heard that they saw Steward Xu on the road and all followed, looking confused.

They had searched for a whole morning, and the unlucky ones hadn't even found a single Red Flame Stone.

They arrived at the location of the Red Flame Crystal.

That wisp of brilliant red afterglow illuminated the dark cave, making it glow slightly.

"It really is Red Flame Crystal!" Steward Xu was overjoyed. "You brat, you've been a bit lazy lately, but I didn't expect your luck to be so good! Not bad, not bad!"

The stewards around immediately looked envious.

Steward Xu took out a Pickaxe, also cast the Golden Blade Art, and slowly struck the nearby Stone Pit.

If they were to dig this kind of Red Flame Crystal, it would take at least several days.

But Steward Xu only dug for a little over an hour before easily excavating it completely.

The moment it was dug out, a red insect shadow flew out.

"Hmph, watch my Geng Metal Grass-Cutting Sword!" Steward Xu grunted, pointing his finger like a sword and slashing towards the shadow. With a flash of Golden Light Sword Qi, the insect shadow was cut into two, falling to the ground with a sizzling sound like lava.

The many stewards around watched with bated breath.

As a steward, his cultivation at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer was far beyond what they, stewards at the first and second layers, could compare to.

"The same spell, Steward Xu's Golden Blade Art is much more powerful than when I cast it..." Mu Ye clicked his tongue inwardly.

As for the Geng Metal Grass-Cutting Sword, the name sounded decent, but it was actually a weed-cutting spell.

It was likely that this Steward Xu had started his career in Farming.

"Today's harvest is quite abundant." Steward Xu laughed heartily, put away the Red Flame Crystal and the Demon Insect Corpse, then casually took out a Storage Bag, took out ten Round Spirit Stones, and threw them to Mu Ye. "Here, consider yourself lucky, brat. Dig mines diligently in the future!"

After speaking, Steward Xu walked out of the mine with a pleased expression.

Mu Ye put the Spirit Stones into his Storage Bag.

The Jinshi Sect was considered a relatively righteous sect, and it followed rules. As a steward, he wouldn't stoop to embezzling.

Perhaps, to Steward Xu, these ten Spirit Stones were nothing.

But for Mu Ye, it was more than a year's earnings.

The day's mining ended quickly, and Mu Ye left on time as usual. This time, Steward Xu didn't say anything.

"Time to grind in the game!"

Back in his Stone House, Mu Ye first ate a hearty meal, locked the doors and windows, and hung a sign that read 'Currently cultivating, please do not disturb.'

This darn game had an Anti-Addiction System, so he could only play until two or three in the morning at most.

Although it was staying up late, I'm already cultivating immortality, so isn't staying up late pretty normal?

[Game Paradise, defining your life.]

After the Opening Animation, Mu Ye entered [Sword and Blade Demon Sealing].

"Should I try True Mode again?"

Mu Ye pondered.

True Mode offered a stronger sense of immersion compared to normal mode, but there was no saving. This meant that if he died, he had to start over, which was a waste of time.

"Forget it, I'll try normal mode first and see what the situation is at the Shen Mansion."

He selected Demon Sealer, entered the game, and Mu Ye quickly arrived at the Shen Mansion.

This time, Mu Ye did not choose to wait in the Side Room, nor did he go directly to the Front Hall to wait for the banquet to begin.

Among the dialogue options with the Maid, Mu Ye chose the second option.

[2, I've heard Madam Shen is Guo Se Tian Xiang. Love of Beauty Is Universal, I just want to catch a glimpse of her beauty.]

After selecting it, a notification for an achievement quest also appeared.

The Maid chuckled:

"My Madam is naturally extremely beautiful, but she is currently grooming herself in the Side Room. You should wait."

Mu Ye thought to himself, this Maid was quite clever and well-behaved.

The maids in wealthy families were quite Aqueous.

However, the options had changed this time.

After the maid finished speaking, no further options appeared.

[1, I can't wait any longer. To be honest, I've been poisoned by the Half-Day Fatal Poison and will Pass Away after Noon.]

[2, (Draws sword) Little maid, hurry and take me to Madam Shen, or beware my Blade Is Unforgiving!]

As a Demon Sealer, how could he choose option 1?

Mu Ye directly controlled his character, drew his sword, and with lightning speed, placed it by the maid's Snow-White Neck.

"Don't... don't kill me..." The maid's face turned pale. "I'll take you to see Madam right away."

A curve appeared at the corner of Mu Ye's mouth. It seemed that to meet Madam Shen early, he couldn't go to the banquet first.

The maid led the Demon Sealer, turning left and right, to a Quiet and Elegant Side Room.

"Madam is in here..." the maid whispered.

Mu Ye took a few steps closer and found that the Side Room door was locked.

[1, Chop Door (Requires certain strength)]

[2, Pick Lock (Ability not unlocked)]

[3, Retreat to the side and wait quietly]

Mu Ye controlled his character and directly slashed at the Main Door with his sword. Unexpectedly, this Main Door was extremely sturdy and couldn't be broken at all.

Clearly, the Novice Demon Sealer's strength was not enough.

Although he was powerful at slaying demons, it seemed... his other aspects were quite average?

In Normal Mode, he couldn't Synchronize Abilities with the player, nor did he have Golden Blade Art.

Mu Ye exited the game and entered in True Mode. Following the same steps, he arrived at the Side Room door, then cast Golden Blade Art to Enchant his greatsword. After several slashes, he finally broke through the Main Door.

"Success!"

However, before he could rejoice, two similar Man-Eating Demon Foxes rushed out from the room.

At the same time, Mu Ye, through his peripheral vision, saw a Graceful Figure on the Big Bed in the Side Room. However, she was tied up with ropes and her aura had already disappeared.

The next second, he was attacked by the two demons, their Claws tearing his body apart.

Looking at the game interface, Mu Ye suddenly understood.

"So there were two demons?" Mu Ye mused. "One demon was in Madam Shen's room, and the other was impersonating Madam Shen and eating people outside..."

No wonder so many people died later in the Shen Mansion after I killed one demon?

This should be the final challenge of the tutorial stage.

To achieve a perfect clear, I need to rescue Madam Shen and defeat two Man-Eating Demon Foxes simultaneously.

"I understand."

Mu Ye smiled, roughly grasping how to achieve a perfect clear.

"Divide and Conquer. I need to kill the one inside the room first, then the fake Madam Shen outside."

Let's try again!

In True Mode, Mu Ye arrived at the side room, let the maid go, then chose the third option, hiding to the side and waiting quietly.

After a while, the main door opened, and a figure gracefully walked out.

Mu Ye remained still. As the figure left the vicinity of the side room, he drew his long saber and lunged, slashing towards the main door. The saber, imbued with Golden Blade Art, moved with Mu Ye's extremely skilled swings. In just a few breaths, the main door was split open.

Subsequently, Mu Ye directly activated the Demon Sealer's 'Demon Subduing Body' state, his entire body flashing with crimson circuits as he entered the room.

By the bed, a Man-Eating Demon Fox, slightly larger than the other, was lying on the bed.

Faint pink energy slowly emanated from the Beauty below the demon fox.

The Beauty had a charming face and a seductive aura, but her eyes were dazed, as if she hadn't awakened, and her breath was growing weaker.

"As expected."

Mu Ye stepped forward and slashed with his saber. The Man-Eating Demon Fox let out a hoarse shriek and quickly dodged, leaping off the bed and looking at Mu Ye with extreme ferocity.

"This demon fox is weaker."

Mu Ye couldn't be bothered to think further. With his current state and Golden Blade Art, even the larger one outside wouldn't be able to withstand it. What was this?

With a few horizontal slashes, Mu Ye directly killed it, then looked at Madam Shen on the bed, who was slowly awakening.

She got up, tidied her messy hair slightly, used her embroidered clothes to cover the alluring spring scenery, and softly parted her jade lips, saying weakly:

"Excuse me, who are you?"

[1, I am a Demon Sealer fighting alongside Hero Shen in Chishui Village, entrusted by Hero Shen to protect your life.]

[2, I am a Demon Sealer without emotions.]

Naturally, he chose 1.

"A Demon Sealer fighting alongside you?"

Madam Shen's expression shifted slightly. "But... as far as I know, all the Demon Sealers who accompanied Shen Tianxing... died in Chishui Village, not a single one survived."

"..." Mu Ye.

Huh?

This is awkward?

At this moment, a message also popped up:
