In the chat group.
[System Notification: Yue Buqun uploaded a designated red packet, The Smiling, Proud Wanderer musical score.] [Yue Buqun: @Lu Qingshan, Group Leader, this was a qin-and-flute ensemble composed by Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang over several years. It truly sounded quite good to me, so I wished to offer it to you for your appreciation!] [Pang Bo: The Smiling, Proud Wanderer? Old Yue, not bad! Has Liu Zhengfeng over there already begun his Golden Basin Handwashing? How did you get your hands on that score?]
Pang Bo had read The Smiling, Proud Wanderer before, so he was naturally very interested in what had happened on Yue Buqun's side.
Meanwhile, Yue Buqun, who had been waiting for Lu Qingshan to claim the red packet, felt his heart stir upon seeing Pang Bo's words.
[Yue Buqun: I had actually long wanted to prepare a suitable gift for the Group Leader. It is simply that Yue and the Mount Hua Sect possess nothing of value, so after much consideration, I thought of gifting the The Smiling, Proud Wanderer score that appeared in the original story!]
Pang Bo immediately understood Yue Buqun's intentions when he saw him dodge the question.
Still, Pang Bo was not angry. Even he wanted to cling to the Group Leader's thigh, and Yue Buqun's world was of relatively low level, so he needed to hold on to the Group Leader even more tightly.
[Pang Bo: Old Yue, the Group Leader isn't even here right now, so quit kissing up and tell us first how you got that The Smiling, Proud Wanderer score. What happened to Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang? Did they commit suicide?] [Yue Buqun: These are Yue's heartfelt words. How can you call it flattery? I obtained this The Smiling, Proud Wanderer score at Senior Brother Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Handwashing ceremony. Qu Yang happened to be hiding there at the time. I exposed his whereabouts, then had the two of them perform the piece. I found it quite good, so I asked them for a copy of the score! As for Senior Brother Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, they are currently on their way back to the Mount Hua Sect with me!] [Pang Bo: The two of them went back to the Mount Hua Sect with you? Didn't the Mount Song Sect and the others try to stop you?] [Yue Buqun: ...] [Yue Buqun: Brother Pang Bo, you think too little of Yue! Though Yue's strength may be at the bottom of our chat group, I have still broken through to the Grandmaster realm!] [Yue Buqun: At the time, I merely revealed a little of my strength and easily defeated everyone from the Mount Song Sect. As for the others from the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sect, they were drawn in by the sword techniques left behind on Cliff of Repentance. We agreed to gather at Mount Hua in three months to discuss the matter!] [Cao Cao: Mister Yue, you jest! The one at the bottom of the chat group in terms of strength should be me! Still, your invitation for the other members of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sect to gather at Mount Hua in three months is likely meant to reclaim the position of alliance leader, is it not?] [Yue Buqun: Hahaha, Lord Mengde, you jest! Yue is merely a man of the martial world. How could I compare with a regional lord such as yourself? As for the leadership of the Five Sacred Mountains, Yue did indeed value it greatly in the past, but after joining the chat group, that thought has faded considerably.] [Yue Buqun: The reason I am gathering the other members of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sect at Mount Hua this time is merely to crush the Mount Song Sect's scheme to merge the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sect in one stroke!] [Cao Cao: Perhaps there is also the matter of the Demon Cult? Mister Yue, now that you have brought Qu Yang back to Mount Hua, the Demon Cult will likely swarm toward you, will they not?] [Yue Buqun: Yue does indeed have such intentions! Decades ago, the predecessors of our Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sect failed to wipe out the Demon Cult in one stroke. Now that Yue possesses sufficient strength, I naturally must give it a try!] [Pang Bo: You two are far too long-winded! @Yue Buqun, Old Yue, I'm quite interested in that The Smiling, Proud Wanderer score too. Can you send me a copy as well?] [Yue Buqun: Of course! However, I have already used up my red packet allotment for this month. Could I send it to you next month?] [Pang Bo: No need to make it so troublesome. Just upload the score to the group store. It can't be worth many points anyway, so I'll just buy it myself!] [Yue Buqun: Very well!] [System Notification: Yue Buqun listed the The Smiling, Proud Wanderer musical score!] [Pang Bo: Damn, this score is pretty expensive. It actually costs 100 points!]
Hearing that, Yue Buqun, who was traveling by boat toward Mount Hua, was slightly stunned.
One had to know that his Purple Dawn Divine Skill was worth only 20 points in the store, yet this The Smiling, Proud Wanderer score was worth 100 points?
[System Notification: Pang Bo purchased the The Smiling, Proud Wanderer musical score!]
Meanwhile, Lu Qingshan, who had just finished cultivating, also received the message in which Yue Buqun had tagged him.
"The Smiling, Proud Wanderer score?"
Lu Qingshan scanned through the chat log, and his heart stirred slightly.
[System Notification: Lu Qingshan claimed Yue Buqun's red packet.] [Lu Qingshan: Mister Yue, you have been thoughtful. I am very pleased with this gift! If there is anything you need help with, feel free to ask!]
Although the The Smiling, Proud Wanderer score was of no use to Lu Qingshan now, and there was even countless beautiful music throughout the vast universe of the Swallowed Star world, he could not help recalling the The Smiling, Proud Wanderer he had watched in his previous life.
Moreover, Yue Buqun's thoughtfulness in carefully preparing this gift for him was rare indeed. Since he could help the other party with a mere wave of his hand, why not?
[Yue Buqun: Group Leader, it is enough that you are pleased! There is still plenty of the Millennium Spirit Marrow you gave me before, so there is currently nothing I need help with!] [System Notification: Lu Qingshan uploaded a designated red packet, Purple Dawn Divine Skill (improved version)!] [Lu Qingshan: Mister Yue, I have previously examined your Mount Hua Sect's Purple Dawn Divine Skill and made a few minor improvements to it. Take a look and see whether it will be of any help to you!] [Yue Buqun: Thank you, Group Leader.] [System Notification: Yue Buqun claimed Lu Qingshan's red packet.] [Cao Cao: @Lu Qingshan, Group Leader, would it be convenient for you to help me prepare some food? I am willing to exchange the points I have for it.] [Pang Bo: Food?] [Cao Cao: That is right! Dong Zhuo previously moved the capital to Chang'an and burned Luoyang City to the ground. The coalition of eighteen warlords has now dispersed. I intend to lead my men in rebuilding Luoyang City while waiting for an opportunity to rescue the Son of Heaven! However, Luoyang City is currently in ruins and desperately lacks food!] [Pang Bo: You're going to rescue Liu Xie? Lord Mengde, you aren't still thinking of using the emperor to command the lords, are you?] [Cao Cao: Not at all! Compared with unifying the realm, I now wish more to cultivate alongside the Group Leader and all of you, seeking the path to immortality! However, after reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I discovered that there are still many heroes in this world. Thus, I wish to see whether I can bring them all under my command! To accomplish that, "upholding the Son of Heaven to command the disobedient" is certainly a fine choice!] [Pang Bo: Damn, I never expected Lord Mengde to have a stamp-collecting fetish!] [Cao Cao: Stamp collecting?]
Within Luoyang City, Cao Cao wore a bewildered expression. He could not guess in the slightest what Pang Bo meant.
When Lu Qingshan in the Swallowed Star world saw Pang Bo's words, memories from his childhood in his previous life immediately surfaced in his mind.
Those packets of instant noodles that cost only a few cents, those little cards...
Those memories that had once grown blurry became incomparably clear again after he became an immortal god.
"Since Cao Cao wants to uphold the Son of Heaven to command the disobedient, I wonder what changes will occur in that world?"
Lu Qingshan could not help thinking to himself, But ordinary food is far more troublesome for me than Millennium Spirit Marrow or ten-thousand-year spiritual medicines!
After all, given his current status and position, how could he possibly carry such ordinary things on him?
Even across the entire Thunder Star, there were probably not many supplies of food eaten by ordinary people. Gathering it would naturally be somewhat troublesome!
[Lu Qingshan: @Cao Cao, obtaining food is indeed somewhat troublesome, but I will gather some and send it to you later!]
Within Luoyang City, Cao Cao was slightly stunned when he saw Lu Qingshan's words.
In his view, Lu Qingshan was the person in the chat group most likely to help him gather enough food. After all, Lu Qingshan had casually sent out hundreds of thousands of jin of Millennium Spirit Marrow before.
But now...
The Group Leader actually found it troublesome?
"Could it be that the Group Leader simply has more spiritual treasures, while resources that ordinary people can possess are scarce?" Cao Cao could not help secretly speculating.
[System Notification: Han Li uploaded a designated red packet, one Foundation Establishment Pill.] [Han Li: @Lu Qingshan, Group Leader, I have obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill. Please help me study it!]
In truth, Han Li had also considered waiting until the Blood Forbidden Trial to gather spiritual herbs and refine pills himself.
However, there were still a full two years before the Blood Forbidden Trial. After thinking it over, he felt there was no need to wait that long.
Thus, after purchasing numerous top-grade magical artifacts and talismans, Han Li finally chose to act against the grandnephew of the old man surnamed Ye, who had yet to take his Foundation Establishment Pill!
After successfully killing the other party, Han Li finally recovered the Foundation Establishment Pill that should have belonged to him from the start.
[System Notification: Lu Qingshan claimed Han Li's red packet!] [Lu Qingshan: Today is quite rare. I didn't expect everyone to be here!] [Pang Bo: Group Leader, the few of us are usually online quite often. You're the one who is always in seclusion!] [Lu Qingshan: Is that so? Mainly because my strength is still too weak, so I can only seize the time to cultivate diligently in seclusion.] [Yue Buqun: This...] [Pang Bo: Group Leader, when you say that, do you not consider how the rest of us feel?]
Just then...
[System Notification: Increased activity has been detected in the chat group. Two newcomers will be randomly added to the chat group!]
