A Saint Venerable Who Stayed True to His Original Aspiration
"Does the Dao Simplification Brush Super Simplification count only once?"
Looking at the reward, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but click his tongue slightly.
It must be said that the rewards the system gave this time were truly substantial.
It only consumed some of the Dao Simplification Brush's energy, yet it directly granted me one Super Simplification attempt.
One word.
Great value!
It's important to know that while Super Simplification is powerful, it has one problem.
That is, the energy required to accumulate one Super Simplification is not constant, but increasing.
And based on experience, this increasing number is by no means small.
Drawing the teleportation array with the Dao Simplification Brush this time consumed a lot of energy, and it will take Xiao Ye quite some time to recover it.
Currently, a Super Simplification number of times has been given, and there has been no further increase in the amount of energy accumulated by the Dao Simplification Brush.
Rounding up, I got it for free this time.
"With this Super Simplification approach, wouldn't it be even easier to draw a teleportation array?"
Lu Changzhi's heart stirred.
But he quickly put the idea aside.
That's not worth it at all.
Teleportation arrays are indeed of great use in traveling.
However, there are actually many teleportation arrays in the areas outside the Land of the Four Directions, unlike here, where teleportation arrays have only appeared now.
Under such circumstances, simplifying the teleportation array is by no means a suitable option.
Furthermore, after so much time has passed, he has come to deeply appreciate the rarity of Super Simplification times.
We can't let it go to waste.
Suddenly, Lu Changzhi's eyes lit up, and he said:
"System, can you simply simplify it to 'I'm already on the Longevity Battlefield '?"
He still had a special quest called [Longevity Battlefield] hanging on him, which required him to enter the Longevity Battlefield using the Unsealing Key. The reward for completing the quest was a system version upgrade.
This involves simplifying oneself, completing tasks, and then using the rewards to complete new tasks—isn't that like sesame seeds blooming higher and higher?
Otherwise, dealing with the matter of the Longevity Battlefield would be quite troublesome.
"Master, this task requires your personal completion. Given your current strength, the difficulty is unknown, and it is not recommended," the system voice announced.
Lu Changzhi wasn't too surprised, and instead said:
"Let's try a different approach, simplify it, and present this special task as already completed."
Whether it was busy or silenced by Lu Changzhi's request, the system remained quiet for a while before finally saying:
"Master, this is a special mission from the system."
At the same time as the sound rang out, some other sounds could also be faintly heard.
Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow:
What's with that soft female voice?
"Reporting to Master, this is all that disciple Xiao Ye Tongtong," the system replied, then continued:
"Master, please be busy for now, we'll talk later."
Lu Changzhi was greatly surprised.
This was the first time he had ever learned that Tongtong Xiao Ye had done was in this way.
That soft, adorable sound... it's definitely not simple.
Recalling his first encounter with Xiao Ye, the system's powerful conquest, and the earlier mention of the martial arts disciples' lineage...
Lu Changzhi's expression immediately became somewhat strange.
My own rule is truly too brutal.
How could anyone bring themselves to use a stick like that!
"No, I'll have to ask later if I can change the status quo for my system."
Distracted by this, Lu Changzhi temporarily put aside the matter of simplifying the Longevity Battlefield.
As for this Super Simplification opportunity, it will be put aside for the time being.
Wait for a crucial opportunity to use it and try to maximize the benefits.
Then, Lu Changzhi's gaze fell on the last reward item.
It was a pale gray eye, closed in the center. Although it did not have the dense arrays or other engravings found on ordinary artifacts, it exuded a unique aura, as if it could see through all things in the world.
"Is this the Saint Venerable Artifact?"
Lu Changzhi said softly, quite surprised.
Unexpectedly, the combination of exceeding the mission's expectations and the chosen mission reward enhancement directly raised the tier of the mission reward items to this level, skipping over the Saint King Artifact and reaching the Saint Venerable level.
Brush.
With a flash of light, the relevant information appeared before Lu Changzhi's eyes.
[Heaven-Peering Eye]: A mid-grade Saint Venerable Artifact. Forged by the Saintly Venerable Peeping at women bathing in his youth, spying on the secrets of powerful forces in middle age, and yearning to comprehend the Dao of Heaven-Peering Saint Venerable and Earth in his later years. It can penetrate clothing, obstruct formations, eavesdrop on the whispers of the weak, and can also be used for cultivation and comprehension, enhancing one's perception of the laws of Heaven and Earth; for concealment, one can use this to hide within the void...
"This..."
Looking at the Heaven-Peering Saint Venerable, Lu Changzhi's face showed a thoughtful expression.
No wonder he's a powerhouse who has reached the Saint Venerable level.
Never forget our original aspiration!
However, it must be said that although the functions of this little thing seem numerous, they are actually quite consistent.
All of this is for better spying and eavesdropping, and can even allow the user to do these things in complete secrecy.
"It just so happens to fill the void left by the Observing Chair."
Lu Changzhi was very satisfied with this function.
After one's spiritual level is elevated, coupled with the people and events encountered, one's spiritual level also rises. The hidden function of the Observing Chair can no longer keep up, leaving only its comfort function.
Now, this Heaven-Peering Eye happens to have a relevant function.
In addition, being able to hear the voice transmissions of those below a certain level of strength is a new use for him. If he had had this when he robbed Huang Pi, he might have been able to take the opportunity to learn Sun Yi's methods of persuasion.
In addition, it also has the function of cultivation, and can provide some help in perfecting the Seed of Chaos.
Overall, at this moment, Lu Changzhi had only one feeling.
It was totally worth it.
We need more of these kinds of tasks and getting stuck!
Suddenly, Lu Changzhi had a sudden realization.
So this is how my own system works.
About an hour later, just as Lu Changzhi was about to fall asleep in the void.
The system voice sounded:
"Master, I'm done."
"You're usually so quick, what's wrong? This time, Xiao Ye isn't cooperating at Tongtong?" Lu Changzhi shook his head gently.
"Yes, Master, it's cooperating quite well," the system replied.
A meaningful smile appeared on Lu Changzhi's face:
"So what have you been doing for all this time?"
The system remained silent. Lu Changzhi smiled, then changed the subject, saying:
"System, can your voice be changed too?"
"No, Master," the system said.
"The sound is linked to the system's style and cannot be changed arbitrarily."
Lu Changzhi thought it was a pity, but considering Xiao Ye's scholarly demeanor and his Tongtong appearance, he could accept it.
"What about the other disciples' systems? What do their voices sound like?" Lu Changzhi asked.
"Master, they are all mute."
Lu Changzhi was greatly surprised, and then the system explained:
"Their system itself is at a low level; it hasn't reached the point where it can speak, and it's not very shrewd in its actions."
He paused, then changed the subject:
"Currently, only my disciple Xiao Ye's Tongtong are truly useful. I urge Master to quickly take on more disciples so that my right and left arms can be strengthened."
"Do you accept apprentices?" Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment.
It's true that we haven't seen any apprentice-recruiting tasks for a long time.
"But what you're saying sounds like you're trying to trick me into working for you?"
"Master, you've been wronged!" the system immediately responded.
"Distributing rewards is no easy task. I sigh every day. How can I survive without new, capable subordinates?"
Upon hearing Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile.
"But shouldn't it be your side that issues the task of taking on apprentices?"
"Eh." The system voice sounded:
"It seems so."
Lu Changzhi shook his head, his gaze falling on the disciples' information. After a quick review, his eyes landed on Jin Fugui's information, and his expression shifted:
"Speaking of which, it seems we can begin Jin Fugui's trial."
