Online Cultivation
episode 53

"Did you hear? Player Yuan is currently in Pang City!”

"Where is that?"

“The distance is only 30 miles from here. Want to go out there and look around? There will be many others who will go there to see for themselves whether Player Yuan is really a little girl or not.”

"Let's go!"

After the news of Player Yuan spread all over the internet, thousands of Players started walking towards Pang City in hopes of seeing Player Yuan, who was rumored to be a cute little girl.

Of course, Yuan himself was completely unaware of the misunderstanding about him that had spread all over the internet, and he was secretly cultivating in the Lord’s Manor.

Several hours had passed since the invasion of the Mountain Sovereign, and Luo Li took a deep breath before knocking on Yuan's room door.

*Tap***Tap*

"Brother Yuan, this is Luo Li," he said from outside.

"You can go inside," Yuan replied a moment later.

“Are you cultivating? I hope I don't interfere with your cultivation .." Luo Li said after seeing the spiritual energy gathered around her.

"No problem. I'll rest anyway.” Yuan said as he got off the bed, feeling a little stiff from sitting in the same position for hours.

"Do you need anything from me?" he asked her a moment later.

“Back of it, actually. We have finished preparing a gift for your contribution during the invasion of the Mountain Sovereign, and we want you to accept it now,’.

"okay." Yuan nodded before following him out with Xiao Hua by his side.

A few minutes later, they entered this large long room with Lord Luo sitting on a large chair at the end of the room, and he was still wrapped in bandages.

Luo Ming and Luo Ling were also in the same room, as were all the servants in the building and some guards.

As soon as Luo Li brought Yuan forward, Lord Luo spoke in a clear voice, “Daois Yuan, I have said this before, but I will say it again. Neither I” nor this city can thank you enough for what you have done for this place, and it can even be said that you are the only reason why this city and the thousands of citizens who live here are still alive today.”

"Although this gift is not much, it is the most valuable item that our Pang City can buy."

Lord Luo suddenly clapped her hands, and the two maids approached Yuan with two boxes in their grasp.

Inside one of the boxes was a small storage pouch containing 1,000,000 gold coins, while another larger box contained a beautiful dagger with a golden handle and a pitch-black blade that seemed to be made of some sort of jade.

“The Starry Abyss has been passed down in my family for over ten generations, but no one in the family has ever been able to use it, almost as if it has its own consciousness. Maybe you, Daoist Yuan, who will climb Stairway to Heaven someday, might be able to use it.”

‘A dagger …? But I have only ever practiced with the sword’ Yuan stared at the flickering black dagger that seemed to contain the entire universe within it with a confused expression, feeling some sort of connection with it.

"Brother Yuan, it's a Soul Weapon." Xiao Hua suddenly said to him in a low voice, and when Yuan turned to look at him, he could only see a shocked expression on his face.

However, since this was not the time or situation to ask her for an explanation, Yuan could only wait until later to ask her.

“Thank you very much for your gift. I swear that I will keep it safe no matter what.” Yuan humbly bowed to them before he received the gift, as he learned that bowing in this world meant showing respect after seeing it so many times.

"Congratulations! You have obtained a Soul Weapon!»

As soon as Yuan received his reward, an announcement appeared in the sky for everyone except Yuan to see.

"Congratulations! Player Yuan has become the first Player to obtain a Soul Weapon!»

However, the players were puzzled by the announcement, as this was the first time they had heard of Soul Weapons. What is a Soul Weapon, and how is it different from ordinary weapons?

After the reward was distributed, Lord Luo then said to Yuan, “By the way, we have gathered all the monster cores from the Mountain Lord invasion. We can collect 241 monster cores at the Spirit Apprentice level and Spirit Warrior realm monster cores from Mountain Lord, and I also want to give it all to you, because you are the one who killed most of them, after all. ”

However, Yuan said, "You can have a Spirit Apprentice level monster core, I only need a Spirit Warrior monster core."

“Are you sure, Daoist Yuan? If you sell it, you can get more gold. ”

He nodded and said, “1,000,000 gold coins is more than enough for me now. If anything, I would like to donate that monster core to the guards who also risked their lives to defend the city yesterday.”

When the guards in the room heard Yuan's words, their faces immediately brightened, and they secretly thanked Yuan in their hearts.

"I understand. If that's your request, I'll leave the Mountain Sovereign's monster core with you and share the rest with the guards.” Lord Luo nodded with a agreeing smile on her face. A kind-hearted cultivator like Yuan was hard to come by at the moment, and he couldn't be happier knowing that his daughter might be taken care of by someone like him in the future.

A while later, Lord Luo said to him, “Hope is almost done, Daoist Yuan. Are you interested?"

"Of course!" He nodded without hesitation.
