[Ding! Mysterious treasure chest opened! Congratulations, you have obtained an ID card.]
[Ding! You have achieved an excellent result in this world competition, unlocking some access to your system space.]
[Ding! You have gained 786 energy conversion experience points this time.]
The energy cultivated can indeed strengthen oneself. Although Lin You didn't gain many experience points this time, her own strength still increased slightly.
Originally, he was only at the early stage of Qi Refining, but now he is approaching the middle stage of Qi Refining.
Although it was only a little bit, Lin You was very satisfied. The experience points strengthened her soul itself, which was her true essence.
With the rewards from this world and the experience points from energy conversion, Lin You leveled up two more times, reaching level 15. His soul visibly solidified, proving that leveling up becomes increasingly difficult as you progress.
Besides all that, the biggest gain in this world was the points. In addition to the more than two thousand points she earned herself, Song Yu also exchanged all the points she gained from her cheat codes for her, which was a little more than Lin You herself had earned.
Of course, Lin You didn't let him suffer a loss either, leaving him with a lot of talismans and pills, including a Foundation Establishment Pill. Even the ghost was envious, saying that Song Yu had gotten a good deal.
Lin You didn't care who benefited from the deal. Besides, system points were what she needed more. Now, with the points she had left over, Lin You had accumulated more than 7,000 points, and suddenly she felt like she had become rich overnight.
After returning from a mission, I noticed some changes in the space. Some of the previously empty spatial barriers had become physical again.
On the patch of ground in front of her door, many small green shoots have already sprouted, adding a touch of vitality.
This gave Lin You a sense of time in this space and a greater sense of belonging.
Lin You knew nothing about growing flowers and grass, but she did know that plants needed watering and sunshine.
As for why these plants could still sprout in her space despite the lack of water and sunlight, perhaps it's because plants in the cultivation world are more adaptable.
After all, they can bloom and bear fruit normally in the isolated space of the small secret realm, so the environment here should be similar to that of the small secret realm.
Lin You, who had just received a large sum of money, had just grown a seedling in her own home with great difficulty. She glanced at the system shop and generously spent 600 points to buy a Lingxi, which was on sale at a 20% discount.
Compared to the 8888 Lingquan Spring, this Lingxi Spring is like a lower-end version. Although it tastes a bit sweeter, drinking it regularly can beautify the skin, improve physical condition, and make you feel relaxed and comfortable when taking a bath.
However, it can't achieve the same effect as the Spirit Spring—one sip detoxifies, two sips cure all diseases, and three sips bring the dead back to life. Well, at the original price, it's indeed not as cost-effective as the Spirit Spring, no wonder it needs to be discounted and promoted.
Lin You was just watering the ground; she didn't need the effects of the spiritual spring. Besides, she was the only one in the space and wouldn't get sick or injured, so she didn't need the spiritual spring.
Lingxi River runs directly opposite Lin You's house, passing through the fields not far away. Perhaps to make it look more valuable, the mall also included matching mountains and lakes.
The mountain is a rocky mountain, without any trees or flowers. The source of the Lingxi River is at the top of the mountain. The clear Lingxi River flows straight down, forming a beautiful waterfall, passing through most of the space, and converging into a small, sparkling lake.
Lin, having nothing else to do, watered the seedlings while observing the Lingxi River. He observed for several days, but the water level of the lake did not increase, and the water from the mountaintop did not run out.
She specifically looked at the lake but didn't find any formations or anything like that. Perhaps there's some other high-tech stuff in the system?
If she couldn't figure something out, she'd deal with it later. Lin You wasn't one to pry too deeply. After watering the plants and tidying up the warehouse, she started preparing for the next mission.
Now that she has more points, she doesn't put too many cheap and space-consuming snacks in her space anymore. Instead, she brought some spirit stones for cultivation and materials for alchemy and weapon crafting.
Although there is no channel to trade with ghosts for the time being, Lin You can refine the pills when she has time, since these things don't have an expiration date anyway.
He mentioned when I chatted with A Piao that once Lin You reaches level 20, she will have access to more information, and perhaps then she will be able to find out where the others are.
With hope in sight, Lin You stopped slacking off in the virtual space. After resting for a bit, she opened the task selection button.
Who knows how time is calculated in space? We can't afford to waste too much time. Although my older sisters have more social experience than me, and my younger brothers and sisters are much smarter, what if their tasks are even more difficult?
The selection buttons on the task interface remain unchanged:
Beginner difficulty, 250 points;
Intermediate difficulty, 500 points;
Advanced difficulty, 750 points.
Lin You still chose the 500-point option. With her current strength, it was naturally more important to play it safe. As for the mission world background that required 50 points, she simply ignored it.
I wonder what kind of person she'll be on this mission. So far, all the people she's met have been very, very good friends.
Qingyun Peak soars into the clouds, with jagged rocks and steep cliffs. Even the local people rarely go up the mountain. But in a cave halfway up the mountain, a young man lives.
Mo Kaiyang was this incredibly unlucky young man.
He traveled from the modern world. At first, his journey was going quite smoothly. While climbing a mountain, he slipped and fell off a cliff, only to be caught halfway down by an old man with a white beard.
The old man spoke in a strange and peculiar way, insisting that Mo Kaiyang had exceptional talent and that since his own life was nearing its end, he was going to pass on all his life's skills to him.
Poor Mo Kaiyang didn't even have time to say a word before the old man forcibly pulled him up and slapped him all over. Then he forced him to sit cross-legged, stroked his head, and remained silent for a while before killing him without saying a word.
At first, Mo Kaiyang thought he had encountered a lunatic and tried to call the police with his phone, but not only did his phone have no signal, the mountains outside also seemed strange.
Although the Qingyun Peak he climbed was quite steep, the government had already developed and built many steps and cables, as well as a cable car that could take you directly to the top of the mountain.
But from his position, the entire mountain was silent, with no trace of anyone passing by.
You should know that Qingyun Peak is a famous scenic spot in their area. Not to mention holidays now, even on ordinary days, many people come to climb the mountain and take photos. It's never this quiet at night.
What first made Mo Kaiyang realize something was wrong was the deceased old man's clothes, which showed no signs of modern craftsmanship whatsoever.
The clothes were a dull gray color, looking somewhat faded from washing, but they were completely handmade.
Judging from the warp and weft threads of the fabric and the width of the fabric used to make the clothes, this is clearly a garment woven on an old-fashioned loom. The weaver's skills are excellent, and she has cleverly woven subtle patterns.
The thread used for weaving is a very ordinary cotton-linen blend, the kind that you twist yourself. This kind of fabric is not worth much money, and you probably can't even buy it anywhere.
After all, a weaver with this skill can be considered a textile master. Even if she just opens a live broadcast room every day to weave cloth and hang it on a shopping cart, she can still make a lot of money. Why would she use such rough thread?
Mo Kaiyang glanced at the stitches at the hem again, and sure enough, they were hand-sewn. There were even simple embroidered patterns on the cuffs and collar, which were there to prevent wear and tear on the cuffs and collar.
With this level of embroidery skill, any fan or sachet would be enough to make Hanfu enthusiasts flock to it; there's no need to make such a crude garment.
The vanished signal and crowd, the cave halfway up the mountain, the strange old man and his clothes, combined with the old man's strange words earlier, led Mo Kaiyang to a very unreal, yet most likely, conclusion.
He time-traveled!
They've traveled back to ancient times. Judging from the old man's clothes, it's probably a thousand years ago.
As for why Mo Kaiyang is so knowledgeable about fabric materials and the history of clothing, it can be attributed to his profession.
His grandfather was an old tailor, and his father also ran a clothing factory. His college entrance examination scores were neither high nor low, so following family tradition, he studied fashion design.
Mo Kaiyang didn't have any grand ambitions to make a name for himself. He originally planned to help his father after graduation.
To everyone's surprise, his father felt that he was in his prime and there was no need to establish a crown prince for the time being, so he gave him a sum of money and told him to go play by himself.
Based on the market demand he found, he opened a small Hanfu workshop. Of course, you have to understand what you're doing. Coincidentally, his school also had elective courses in this area, and Mo Kaiyang studied the clothing of various dynasties very seriously.
With his stomach growling, Mo Kaiyang finally came to his senses. Now was not the time to study these things; he should think about how to get out first.
This cave is a hidden world inside; further inside is another karst cave, from which you can hear a dripping sound, indicating that there is a water source.
On the side wall of the cave, three spaces were also carved out: a bedroom, a study, and a smaller one that looked newly carved, where a stone coffin was placed.
Fortunately, the coffin lid was open and the inside was empty. Mo Kaiyang remembered the old man's words about his impending death, so this thing was probably the burial place he had prepared for himself.
The entrance to this cave is level with the cliff face. If you hadn't fallen, you wouldn't have discovered this place. When Mo Kaiyang fell, if this person hadn't pulled him in in time, he probably would have fallen straight down and been smashed to pieces.
After all, he was his savior. Mo Kaiyang helped the old man straighten his clothes, then bent down, intending to carry him into the coffin.
He thought it would be a bit difficult, but to his surprise, he easily picked up the person and placed him in the coffin without breaking a sweat. He even neatly closed the lid of the stone coffin.
Mo Kaiyang looked at his hands, then at the two-meter-long, one-meter-wide, and very thick coffin lid. How come it was lighter than the stone well cover he had played with when he went back to his hometown in the countryside?
After some experimentation, he finally figured out what that old man—no, that senior—was doing at the beginning.
Isn't this exactly the passing on of skills by a peerless master?!
After a moment of excitement, Mo Kaiyang simply followed the normal procedure and kowtowed three times to the coffin.
This person will be his master from now on. Even after he leaves, he will still come over to burn paper money and offer incense during festivals.
As for how to get out, his master painstakingly passed on his skills to him, but passed away without saying a word, so he must have been certain that he could get out.
When Mo Kaiyang went hiking, he brought food and water with him. He ate a few bites and then planned to go to the study.
When he went outside, he found that the rooms in the cave had become four.
In that room that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, there was a futon, three booklets, and a sword.
There were also some strange patterns drawn on the ground. Mo Kaiyang walked around the patterns and found that they were three martial arts manuals.
He possessed a book on Cloud Trace Steps, a book on Soaring Cloud Sword Technique, and a book on Azure Cloud Heart Sutra. His master's name was Yunxiao.
This name sounds amazing! My master must be an unparalleled master!
Mo Kaiyang flipped through the martial arts manual. To be honest, although he recognized the traditional Chinese characters, he couldn't understand them when they were put together.
Fortunately, his master was very farsighted. He not only provided a footwork diagram for the Cloud Trace Step, but also provided diagrams for the sword technique and mental cultivation method. It's just a pity that Mo Kaiyang still couldn't understand them.
If you can't understand it, just learn it. The study is right next door. Mo Kaiyang can definitely translate classical Chinese. After all, the martial arts manual says that if he doesn't master the Cloud Trace Step and the Azure Cloud Heart Method, he won't be able to climb up such a steep cliff.
Fortunately, the master also explained how to survive in the cave. There was another room further inside the cave, which could be opened by knocking a few times in a certain spot.
It contained a lot of grain and coal, as well as pots, pans, and a stove.
The water deep inside the cave is drinkable, and there are many fish in it, which can be caught to improve one's diet.
