Chapter 166: 166, [Congratulations to Xun Ge for acquiring the treasure]

In the main hall, everyone from the Tianque Gate was wearing smiles, and the inferior Spiritual Artifact level soft armor seemed particularly eye-catching.

As the saying goes, you don’t hit a person who’s smiling at you, so Lu Xun also smiled along.

Just kidding, though he had to maintain his smile.

After all, it was him who had created this persona for himself. He was striving to become a popular male icon on the Heavenly Dust Continent!

He couldn’t afford to destroy his own persona!

“How can I subtly tell them that all I want is a Superior Yellow Outfit?” Lu Xun wondered.

“No! All I want is that mysterious key! Who knows if they’ll end up giving me some other Yellow Outfit!” Lu Xun sighed to himself.

This Tianque Gate indeed had a knack for making things complicated!

He had initially planned to take the key and leave, not expecting this twist!

What should he do now?

Lu Xun’s fingertips gently tapped on the armrest of his chair. He noticed that Mo Beipo was about to speak, but he spoke first, “Master Mo, no need for any gifts.”

Lu Xun’s words stopped Mo Beipo in his tracks, who looked surprised.

Could it be… we did something wrong?

He almost felt panic.

However, the following words from Lu Xun let Mo Beipo and the Elders of the Tianque Gate breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Xun said with a smile, “I came down the mountain this time because I was given a task.”

Then he started to improvise, “I’m supposed to find a small item, which is not precious or valuable, yet it’s meaningful.”

“It should be in the Three Thousand Mountains region.”

“I know that the Sects of Three Thousand Mountains are closely linked, but it might be inappropriate for me to personally interfere. So I wanted to ask Master Mo to help me and inquire about it from various sects in Three Thousand Mountains, see if we can find it.”

Mao Nanbei, who was standing by Lu Xun, felt a little puzzled.

“Didn’t our Little Junior Brother say he came to claim a reward? Why this sudden change?”

Upon hearing this, Mo Beipo perked up!

It feels great to help! Great!

Who cares about those Magic Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts, so mundane!

Although this was to repay a favor and Lu Xun didn’t necessarily have to accept it, with back and forth cooperation like this, bonds were sure to form.

Moreover, from his words, it sounded like his sole purpose of coming down the mountain was to find this item?

But as a Young Elder of the Demon Sect, who could assign him a task?

The answer seemed obvious!

“The Master! The legendary Master!”

That’s right, except for the Master, not even the Sect Master Shen Yan of the Demon Sect should be able to casually order around their own Young Elder, right?

Although he couldn’t confirm it yet, the possibility was extremely high!

Feeling like he had seen through everything, Mo Beipo was on the verge of shaking with excitement.

The dwarf felt his breath quicken, he calmed his emotions and pretended that nothing had happened.

He stood up and asked, “May I ask what this thing you’re looking for is?”

Lu Xun asked, “Do you have pen and paper?”

Mo Beipo quickly had someone bring paper and pen.

Lu Xun stood up, his pen moved smoothly and his movements were elegant.

“Damn, it’s a bit abstract!” Lu Xun looked at his masterpiece and thought to himself.

Actually, this mysterious key was a necklace, the pendant was a piece of silver metal partially wrapping a dark blue gemstone.

He had only glanced at a few pictures on the forum at the time and vaguely remembered the color of the gemstone and that it was enclosed in silver metal. He couldn’t recall the finer details.

But this object was originally in the treasure house of Tianque Gate. When Lu Xun was drawing, he specifically marked the colors. If someone paid close attention, they should be able to notice it.

As for having Mo Beipo inquire about the other sects of the Three Thousand Mountains, it was nothing more than a minor ruse of Lu Xun.

This way, the other party would think it as a favor they were offering, so, even if they had refused a lower-grade spiritual artifact, it seemed justifiable to eventually seek a magic artifact.

Thinking about it now, when that guild received this mysterious key, it must have happened by chance.

After all, the task reward stated that it would randomly gift a superior yellow outfit, so Tianque Gate probably gave it out randomly at the time.

Therefore, even if Tianque Gate really provided a yellow outfit, it might not be this necklace!

Added to that is the fact that things have moved ahead on the timeline now…

What Lu Xun fears the most now is — whether this necklace is currently in possession of Tianque Gate or not?

If not… hasn’t he acted too soon!?

At this moment, Mo Beipo became impatient and said to Lu Xun: “Please wait a moment.”

After that, he left the hall with a few elders.

Because he had just noticed that the elder in charge of the treasury had given him a secret signal, indicating them to leave and discuss.

“Sect Leader, this necklace is in our treasury!” the elder, who was in charge of the treasury, said confidently.

“Elder Liu, is this true?” Mo Beipo looked at him with excitement.

“As Sect Leader, I have managed the treasury for many years, I know every magical weapon in it. I’ll fetch it and show it to him.” Elder Liu said.

Tianque Gate is not a significant sect; even though it’s called a treasury, the number of magical weapons inside is not that many… freewёbnoνel.com

Elder Liu practically remembered all the magical weapons in the treasury.

“Very good.” Mo Beipo replied excitedly, rubbing his hands together.

After all, for Tianque Gate, helping Lu Xun conceal his identity and then asking on his behalf was a small favor.

They didn’t feel it was enough to repay Lu Xun’s kindness.

If our treasury coincidentally has this item, it would be a completely different story!

Elder Liu quickly fetched the necklace. Even though it didn’t look quite the same as the drawing presented by Lu Xun, the color was consistent.

Mo Beipo gave it a glance and said, “It looks quite different.”

Elder Liu also had some uncertainty, saying: “The pattern is quite different, but Sect Leader, there’s no harm in asking. It also demonstrates that we Tianque Gate are very diligent about this matter.”

“Elder Liu has a point.” Mo Beipo nodded, and then hurried back into the hall, holding the necklace in his hands.

Once he entered, Lu Xun saw the necklace in his hands and then breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness, despite all the twists and turns, I’ve finally got it.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

“Please have a look, is this the item?” Mo Beipo lifted the necklace in his hand and asked.

Lu Xun showed a slight expression of joy on his face, and then feigned surprise: “Yes indeed, I didn’t expect this item to be with Tianque Gate! This is truly unexpected!”

“Phew, it’s really hard to comprehend the artistic skills of this Young Elder from the Demon Sect!” Mo Beipo thought to himself.

Lu Xun took this necklace, and courteously said: “Master Mo, you’ve indeed done me a great favor.”

“Compared to the vengeance of murdering one’s only child, what does this count for?” Mo Beipo responded in this way, but he was over the moon with happiness inside.

The connection was set up at least!

Even though we can consider the favor as returned this time, since contact was so pleasant, we should still be able to reach out more frequently in future, right?

If Tianque Gate could rely on the Demon Sect in the future…hehe! Hehehe!

Seeing him so happy, Lu Xun also smiled along.

In his heart, he thought: “There are so many unclear matters with Tianque Gate, which delayed me for quite a long time. I better limit contact as much as possible in the future.”

“Thankfully, this item finally ended up in my hands!” Lu Xun looked at the necklace again.

This key necklace can perhaps help Lu Xun open the main storyline of “Heavenly Dust” prematurely!

At this moment, he visualized Mo Beipo’s dwarf-like height, thinking to himself: “With all the people of Tianque Gate having such short stature and the necklace just happened to be left in Tianque Gate for so many years, could there be a connection with the main storyline?”
