Ring of Life and Death? Life-and-Death Exchange!

When Lu Bai regained consciousness, he found himself standing in a wilderness. At the same time, a data panel appeared before him.

[Welcome to the dimension.]

"So I didn't enter the 'Jianghu' dimension as planned. An accident brought me into 'Martial Forest' instead?"

Lu Bai was not too surprised as he looked at the panel. He knew perfectly well what kind of person he was.

Earth had already become a collectible of the God of Thousand Dimensions. Those who came out of Earth were naturally marked by the God of Thousand Dimensions, and that so-called mark was this panel.

This panel was also how Earthlings, who had originally possessed no supernatural power, could gain extraordinary abilities. More precisely, it was through those three Skill Bar slots.

It was said that as long as modules were placed into the Skill Bar, they could form skills with supernatural power.

The previous Lu Bai had been unable to learn anything more specific.

What surprised Lu Bai now was the Ouroboros Ring within his consciousness.

After Lu Bai entered this dimension, the Ouroboros Ring finally began to turn slightly, allowing him to understand the use of this cheat.

"Ring of Life and Death? More like the Ring of Idiots!" Lu Bai scratched his head and showered his cheat with profanity.

Back when he had died because of the dimensional shift and his consciousness had sunk into death, he had touched this thing. When the God of Thousand Dimensions revived him, he had conveniently brought it out with him.

The cheat's function was indeed quite good. After something "died," it would sink into the Death Dimension, and the ring could turn things within the Death Dimension into living things.

Put simply, the talents, experience, and abilities of the dead, or destroyed treasures and items—so long as they had returned to the Death Dimension, the Ring of Life and Death could restore them to a living state.

In other words, Lu Bai could claim all the talents, experience, abilities, treasures, and items of the dead for himself.

But there were some small problems. First, for the Ring of Life and Death to transform something, Lu Bai himself had to come into contact with the object being transformed.

That was simple enough. He could just kill himself and croak, then enter the Death Dimension.

The key problem was that the Ring of Life and Death could not transform Lu Bai himself.

"So I can go shopping in death, and the goods can come out, but I can't, right?" Lu Bai was somewhat speechless. For now, this cheat was still unusable.

"Unless I obtain some other resurrection ability." Lu Bai thought of the God of Thousand Dimensions. Back then, countless people had died from the dimensional shift, yet the God of Thousand Dimensions had pulled them all back and successfully revived them.

"It's said that some high-level Travelers also possess resurrection abilities. That means this cheat isn't completely useless." After thinking for a while, Lu Bai temporarily set aside the Ring of Life and Death and began exploring this dimension called "Martial Forest."

"Tianwu Group has always been known for wuxia elements. Whether it's 'Jianghu' or 'Martial Forest,' they should both be wuxia-type dimensional worlds. I can obtain wuxia-related modules here."

Lu Bai walked across the wilderness for a while before finally spotting a town in the distance.

People flowed through the town. Though the buildings were old, they still exuded an air of prosperity.

The styles of clothing were all ancient and simple. It was hard to tell which dynasty they belonged to, but most were certainly not dressed like modern people.

Only...

"Can someone tell me why there are stockings in ancient times? White stockings, even?" Lu Bai watched from afar as a beauty with a graceful figure emerged from the crowd on the old, rustic street.

That beauty's aura was completely different from that of ordinary commoners. One could even say she belonged to an entirely different art style. Her clothing was still ancient in design, but it blended old and modern.

Stockings, a low-cut top, and a silky gauze skirt—it was breathtakingly beautiful, but the sense of discord was also through the roof.

The surrounding commoners were dumbstruck. Even the prostitutes in the pleasure houses were not this seductive.

Unfortunately, no one dared step forward to say a word or two, because her clothes and bearing alone had already divided them into two different worlds.

There were many people in this world, and quite a few fools, but there were even more normal people. Without knowing the other party's background, most would not rashly stir up trouble.

"If this were some fantasy world, there'd usually be a passerby who was a Know-It-All, stripping away every last layer of her secrets and letting everyone know she had an extraordinary background."

Lu Bai crouched in the shadows to avoid people's gazes. He listened to their discussions, yet failed to obtain any useful information.

"Unfortunately, this is a wuxia world. Characters like Know-It-All are generally mastermind-BOSS types, not people you can just run into."

After casually overhearing a few comments, Lu Bai stopped caring about the matter.

What he was thinking about now was how to change his appearance and blend into this world.

If the woman earlier had merely stood out, her clothing carrying a touch of discord, then Lu Bai's clothes were completely from a different world.

"I'm a little too conspicuous right now. There are people among them who have obtained supernatural powers." Lu Bai pondered.

When the Gate of Thousand Dimensions had opened, it had dragged several nearby bandits into the dimension as well.

Although the person with supernatural powers had nearly been killed by him before, that had been because the other party had misjudged Lu Bai's strength.

Lu Bai had caught him off guard, and in battle, initiative and timing were extremely important.

If they faced each other head-on in a serious fight, Lu Bai might not necessarily be his opponent.

After all, every method Lu Bai possessed was that of an ordinary person and did not involve the slightest supernatural power.

"Miaokong Temple?" Lu Bai soon noticed something. He looked toward a temple in the distance, where a young novice monk was sweeping inside.

Touching his short-cropped hair, Lu Bai suddenly felt that going bald might be a good solution.

After "borrowing" a set of monk's robes and finding a razor in the temple, Lu Bai shaved his head clean. Before long, a fresh-faced young monk had appeared.

He was handsome anyway. He could pull off a bald head just fine.

It was also at that moment that Lu Bai sensed something, as though something were about to condense from within his heart.

Yet something was still missing, so the condensation process was stuck.

At the same time, a line of text appeared on the panel.

[Consume 1 Special Extraction Point to condense the Elemental Module [Buddha]. Condense?]
