Chapter 96: Chapter 96: [The Correct Usage of a European Emperor]

"Ding! Player has triggered the quest [The Correct Usage of a Luck Emperor]!"

[The Correct Usage of a Luck Emperor]: As the only person in this world capable of changing fate, Fang Zhi hopes you can be present to provide a reference example for him. Moreover, as someone blessed with great fortune, Fang Zhi believes you can bring him good luck and thus has invited you to be a mascot.

[Quest Requirement: Be present when Fang Zhi changes the fate of Yu Gejing.]

[Task Completion: 0%]

[Quest Rewards: 20 million Experience, Celestial Stars Sword Technique, 4 Starlight Communication Talismans, +300 Favorability with Complete Heaven Sect, +1000 Favorability with Fang Zhi, He Zhiqing, and Yu Gejing]

"Me, a mascot?" Liang Yi was angry.

When had he, Liang Yi, ever been subjected to such an indignity? Just because I’m lucky, I have to be a mascot?

The rewards? Does he, Liang Yi, care about such trifles... Holy shit!

"Accept! Accept!"

The so-called staunchly upright and conscience of the mortal world, Mr. Liang, ultimately succumbed to the awe of money.

"I’m close friends with Brother He and Sister Yu; naturally, I wouldn’t refuse such a small favor!" Liang Yi declared with a face full of righteousness, as if doing this was a matter of course.

"Not bad, you’re much better than your smug master; to get him to do something, he still mocks me in the process. Here are four Starlight Communication Talismans, take them and use them for now." Fang Zhi nodded in satisfaction and took out four palm-sized, purple, and beautifully adorned talismans.

Liang Yi curiously accepted them, having seen a True Inheritor player from Complete Heaven Sect use one in his past life.

[Starlight Communication Talisman]: Third Grade orange item. Wherever starlight shines is the direction. This item can ignore most arrays, prohibitions, and barriers, and deliver messages to the intended destination. Personally crafted by Fang Zhi of Complete Heaven Sect, it’s powerful and exceedingly rare.

The small talisman was engraved with a pattern of Celestial Stars, ancient and majestic yet mysteriously profound, as if gazing upon the starry sky itself.

At first glance, this item seemed somewhat similar to the ’Setting Sun with a New Moon’ that Liang Yi learned, but in reality, they were different.

The ’Setting Sun with a New Moon’ he learned utilized sunlight and moonlight to perform the Escape Skill. In the world’s view, the sun and moon in the sky are actually capable of absorbing Spiritual Power to illuminate on their own; the light during the day is Moonlight, and at night, it is Moonlight.

Countless Cultivation Techniques have been developed using these two special types of Spiritual Power. The [Great Sun True Body] that his master showed him before, for example, cultivated by absorbing Moonlight.

The Starlight Communication Talisman, however, uses the power contained within the talisman, which is derived from Fang Zhi’s strength, to send messages, and that’s why it can ignore most arrays and similar impediments.

"How impressive." Seeing this description, Liang Yi was overjoyed.

If he ever found himself in dire straits, he wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to write a will to his family.

Wait, why did he think of that? Isn’t this item meant for rescue?

Liang Yi cheerfully stored it in his player’s backpack; though it wasn’t as good as the [Immaculate Sword Jade] his master gave him, there was only one Sword Jade, and he had four Communication Talismans. If any danger arose, he could send one to his master, and by holding out for a while, he should be safe.

"Thank you, Sect Master Fang, I will make good use of it." Liang Yi smiled at Fang Zhi. Which player doing a quest doesn’t like to get a down payment first?

"Mm, to use the Communication Talisman, you only need a trace of the recipient’s aura," Fang Zhi explained the usage of the Communication Talisman in detail to Liang Yi.

"Mhm, got it."

Got what my ass! He had just tried it out, and using a Communication Talisman still functioned just like it did in-game. Names of those who had a closer relationship with him were displayed on a panel. After inputting the message content, all he had to do was tap a name to successfully send it.

The first names that came up on the panel were Su Youyi and Chen Hua, followed by He Zhiqing and Fang Zhi, among others.

Sorry, having a System means you can do whatever you want.

"Alright, nothing else, I’m going to have a detailed chat with Jinger and the others. When you have time, do drop by the Complete Heaven Sect often. Let those runts in our sect witness what a true genius is like, so they won’t be like frogs in a well all the time." Fang Zhi finished speaking and didn’t stay any longer, disappearing in front of Liang Yi in a turn.

"····"

Dare I go? My master alone has managed to make most of the well-known forces on the continent hate him, now we have Fang Zhi on board too, are they trying to get me killed faster?

Liang Yi sighed. This trip with elder brother He had brought him far too many gains in various aspects, so much so that he didn’t know which one to think about first.

A breeze blew by, rustling the bamboo forest.

Liang Yi looked up at the sky and realized it was already afternoon. The preliminaries for the sect competition should be starting soon.

He hadn’t forgotten that there was still a task related to the Devouring Spirit Sect lying in his task bar. Since the System had given such a hint, it was highly likely that the Devouring Spirit Sect would stir up something during the competition.

Turning around to head back the way he came, Liang Yi planned to first go to the Immortal Dynasty to get a pass. The competition was held in a dedicated ordinary Secret Realm, which while unimportant and devoid of resources, was not a place just anyone could enter and exit.

Seeing that his junior sister was still cultivating, Liang Yi decided not to disturb her and took a stroll by himself.

Upon reaching the main base of the Mystic Bureau, the two silver lions at the entrance were quite impressive, one seeming eerie while the other exuded honesty and integrity.

These represented the two positions within the Mystic Bureau, the arrest officers and the Shadow Guards.

Arrest officers of the Mystic Bureau operated in the open, their presence spread far and wide from north to south of Jiangnan, while Shadow Guards lurked in the shadows dealing with all things unsavory. The crowd in Qingliang City was so large this time that Shadow Guards were summoned to assist the understaffed arrest officers.

"Is the visitor Daoist Sect’s Liang Yi, sir?" One of the arrest officers at the entrance, dressed like a catchpole, asked respectfully.

Liang Yi hadn’t yet revealed his identity, but was directly recognized, which piqued his curiosity.

"How did you recognize me?"

"Heard the Complete Heaven Sect and the Chief mention that Daoist Sect’s Liang Yi has an unrivaled handsome face and an outstanding demeanor; as long as I saw your face, I would recognize you immediately," replied one arrest officer respectfully, and the other nodded in agreement, proving the Chief has not deceived us.

"Ah." Liang Yi sighed softly. Everyone sees his radiant charm and exceptional talent, but who can truly understand the woes of being too handsome?

"Is sir Liang Yi here to receive a Secret Realm Pass? Shall I take you to Officer Wu?" Another arrest officer, a bit more astute, suggested after a quick pondering.

"Mhm, then I’ll have to trouble you to lead the way," Liang Yi didn’t want to refuse the kind offer and accepted directly.

"This way, Sir Liang Yi!"

Seeing Wang Lingfeng snatch the lead, the other arrest officer was secretly annoyed for not seizing the chance. The news of Daoist Sect’s chief disciple, Liang Yi, possessing both exceptional appearance and talent had already spread throughout the official circles of Qingliang City; they thought it was just flattery from the Banished Immortal, but even the lord of the Complete Heaven Sect had stepped forward to confirm it, saying he wished to snatch Liang Yi back to their sect.

If word got out that he had led the way for the great Liang Yi, what a face-gaining story that would be!
