Chapter 13 Linlang Secret Treasure
Chapter 13 Linlang Secret Treasure
Lu Chao rubbed his eyes and found himself in front of a cave with an arched entrance carved by man. Above the entrance were three ancient characters: "Linlang Cave"!
Lu Chaoding's gaze lingered briefly on the three large characters "Linlang Cave" before he received a short piece of information: "Linlang Cave is a special secret realm of opportunity. It is restricted to players who are no higher than LV10. It has four levels, and each level contains a treasure chest of opportunity. After selecting a treasure chest, players will be immediately teleported back to Lion Cliff."
"It's true what they say, surviving a fall from a cliff brings good fortune, haha! This unreliable system is finally reliable, it's starting to feel like a cheat code!"
Lu Chaoding marveled at his good fortune.
For ordinary players, jumping off a cliff is a near-death experience, and the chance of reaching this Linglang Cave is only one percent. Even with four chances to jump off a cliff, the chance of getting here is less than four percent.
The chances are too small, and it comes with huge risks. It's perfectly normal to die four times in vain after jumping off a cliff.
Logically speaking, with such high risks, the potential rewards should also be enormous.
If an unreliable system becomes so reliable, it might become one with minimal risk and huge returns!
"Let's see what's in this secret realm!"
Lu Chao strode into the Linlang Cave, and as soon as he entered, he discovered a Level 5 Night Wolf.
The night wolf crouched in front of a treasure chest, like a guard.
"Ding! Defeating the treasure chest guard will allow you to view the Treasure Chest of Opportunity. Other players cannot approach the Treasure Chest of Opportunity during the battle."
"Finally, I've found someone who's alone!"
Lu Chao's eyes lit up, and he launched an attack directly at the night wolf.
He wanted to vent the frustration of being chased earlier.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
"-28"
"-2"
"-2"
……
"-2"
The commoner's sword and eight sword shadows swiftly struck the forehead of the level 5 night wolf.
As the damage numbers rose, Lu Chaoding entered the battle space. This time he went first, so the Night Wolf in the battle space had already lost 44 health and its resilience had been reduced by nine points.
Next was the turn determination. Lu Chao was the fastest, so it was his turn to attack again. He raised his hand and launched another normal attack. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the sword shadow pierced through the armor, and the level 5 wolf died instantly, dropping a cultivation manual.
The battle ended there, and Lu Chaoding quickly returned to the first level of Linlang Cave.
"Killing enemies without taking damage, awesome!"
Lu Chaoding quickly stepped forward, put away the cultivation book, and then looked at the opportunity treasure chest.
[Treasure Chest of Chance: Number 1, can contain a dazzling array of secret treasures.]
"That's a simple introduction!"
Lu Chao didn't stand on ceremony. He stepped forward and lifted the lid of the treasure chest. After a burst of light, three green jade stones, two blue jade stones, and one purple jade stone appeared inside.
The green jade is called "Jade of Tokens," which can be used to exchange for "Tokens of the Sword Immortal," "Tokens of the Sword Saint," "Tokens of the Sword God," or "Tokens of the Sword Demon."
The blue jade is called the "Jade of Inheritance," which can be used to exchange for the "Inheritance of the Sword Immortal," the "Inheritance of the Sword Saint," the "Inheritance of the Sword God," or the "Inheritance of the Sword Demon."
The purple jade is called the "Jade of Enlightenment," which can be used to exchange for the "Enlightenment of the Sword Immortal," "Enlightenment of the Sword Saint," "Enlightenment of the Sword God," or "Enlightenment of the Sword Demon."
Lu Chao rubbed his chin.
If he accepts these jade stones, he will definitely exchange them for items exclusive to sword immortals. He already knows that the [Sword Immortal's Certificate] can be used to improve talent levels, and that to upgrade [Splitting Light and Shadow Sword] to LV4, he needs a [Sword Immortal's Legacy].
As for the use of the "Sword Immortal's Enlightenment," Lu Chaoding doesn't know yet, but it will definitely be of great use.
"These are all good things!"
Lu Chao rubbed his hands together, forcibly suppressing the urge to take the six pieces of jade.
After exploring the cave for a while, he discovered a staircase leading downwards. Entering this passage, Lu Chaoding quickly arrived at the second level of the Linlang Cave.
The second cave looks exactly the same as the first cave, with a treasure chest in the middle. There is also a monster in front of the treasure chest. You can view the treasure chest by killing the monster.
The monster was a black-haired wild boar the size of a water buffalo, with a single horn on its forehead and three thick tusks protruding from its mouth, making it look as if it had three horns.
[Night-Walking Boar Beast: LV10, HP 1500, Attack 150, Resilience 12, Defense 5, Speed 80.]
Lu Chao stopped and looked at the Night-Walking Pig Beast from a distance.
"This monster is tough to fight..."
Lu Chaoding was silently calculating.
"This nocturnal boar has a life of 1500. Even if I go first and break its resilience in the first round, it's unlikely I can kill it. After all, the attribute data is too different. I have high attack but weak defense. I'll be defeated after being hit twice."
Lu Chao shook his head, giving up the idea of fighting.
In his mind, considering that the Night-Walking Boar Beast possesses combat skills, in order to kill it safely, he had to control the battle within two rounds, meaning he could only be hit once. Including the first attack before entering the battle space, he could attack three times.
These three attacks will deal 1500 points of damage!
Clearly, Lu Chao's output was not enough.
Lu Chao didn't dwell on it and immediately returned to the first level of the secret realm.
"This is actually a pretty good refuge; at least nocturnal beasts won't be chasing us. If we want to leave..."
Lu Chao looked up at the treasure chest of opportunity in the center of the cave.
There are two ways to leave Linlang Cave. One is to die and go to the second level to fight the boar beast. It is estimated that you will be resurrected at the sword monument at the foot of the mountain after being killed.
The second method is to collect the items from the first-level Treasure Chest. According to the settings of Linlang Cave, you can be teleported back to Lion Cliff for free.
Lu Chaoding wasn't in a hurry at the moment. He hadn't yet taken stock of the items dropped by Zhang Defa and Zhao Weike. He might as well take stock of them here.
The prizes Zhao Weike and Zhang Defa had won in the previous lottery had all fallen out, mostly materials and food, which couldn't improve their strength for the time being. Lu Chao had seen them draw prizes before, so he wasn't surprised.
These two guys also contributed all the gold coins they had farmed in Lion's Cave, a total of 200 coins.
Adding the 175 gold coins that Lu Chaoding had left after spending them, Lu Chaoding now has a total of 375 gold coins.
In addition, after using the cultivation book he just created, Lu Chaoding's current cultivation level has reached 109 points.
"I'm currently at level three, and it will take me 400 cultivation points to reach level four. Even upgrading the one-star combat skill [Heavy Strike] to level two requires 200 cultivation points, so these pitiful 109 cultivation points are useless. Refining the Commoner Sword requires blood materials, which I don't have; upgrading the Earth God requires Boiling Blood Essence, which I also don't have; refining the Ghost-Faced Axe requires Sky-Piercing Jade, which I also don't have! Right now, I simply cannot improve my strength..."
Lu Chaoding pondered silently, and once his health points were fully restored, he stepped forward and collected the six jade stones from the Treasure Chest of Opportunity.
"Ding! You have obtained a rare treasure in the Linglang Cave!"
"Ding! You will be teleported back to Lion Cliff!"
As the scenery changed, Lu Chaoding returned to Lion Cliff. He scanned his surroundings and found that there were no nocturnal beasts roaming around Lion Cliff, so it was safe for the time being.
Lu Chao felt slightly relieved and walked towards the edge of the cliff.
Soon, Lu Chaoding received another system notification: "Ding, you have arrived at Lion Cliff! The special opportunity quest [Jumping Off the Cliff] has been triggered..."
"Ding! The occasionally unreliable system has activated, updating the tracking mission with altered content: Take a leap and jump off the cliff. There is a 1% chance of instant death, a 9% chance of surviving and obtaining a Treasure Chest of Opportunity, and a 90% chance of surviving and entering the Secret Realm of Opportunity [Linlang Cave]."
"very good!"
Lu Chao laughed heartily, but did not rush to jump off the cliff.
"You must make sure you have the strength to defeat that boar beast before jumping off the cliff; otherwise, you'll be trapped inside and the only way out will be by suicide."
Lu Chaoding felt very confident. He opened his storage backpack, exchanged the six jade stones for virtual items exclusive to sword immortals, and then immediately consumed one copy of the [Sword Immortal's Inheritance].
"Ding! Congratulations on breaking through the bottleneck! Your three-star secret technique, [Splitting Light and Shadow Sword], has been upgraded to LV4, above the standard level."
