29: Golden Elixir! Required for system upgrade!

“Senior Sister… is she back?”

Lu Sheng looked at the message Lan Linglong had sent him on his phone, pondered for a moment, then set the phone aside.

“I’m really curious what kind of person Senior Sister is!”

Lu Sheng shook his head, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Then, Lu Sheng lay on his bed, looking at the night sky outside the window, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, the sunlight gently tapped on the window, falling on Lu Sheng’s face.

Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, checked the time, got up from the bed, and went to the bathroom for a simple wash.

Lu Sheng then packed his things, preparing to head to the Martial Hall.

Because today was the weekend, he didn’t have to go to school.

Furthermore, Lan Linglong had also sent Lu Sheng a message last night, so Lu Sheng decided to go directly to the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall.

Soon, Lu Sheng arrived at the Martial Hall.

However, as he reached the entrance of the Martial Hall, Lu Sheng noticed something was off.

Usually, even if he came to the Martial Hall at this time, he would see many Heaven and Earth Martial Hall Disciples Cultivating within the Martial Hall.

But today… standing at the entrance of the Martial Hall, he couldn’t see a single person!

“What… is going on?”

Lu Sheng looked at the Martial Hall in front of him with some surprise, his heart full of questions.

But even with his doubts, Lu Sheng still took a step and walked into the Martial Hall.

As soon as he entered the Martial Hall, Lu Sheng heard a cold voice coming from inside the hall.

“What have you all been Cultivating every day? You can’t even do the simplest Standing Stake, and you still have the nerve to call yourselves Outer Sect Disciples of my Heaven and Earth Martial Hall?”

“It seems that during the time I wasn’t back, Father and Junior Sister were still too lenient!”

“Even though you are all Outer Sect Disciples of the Martial Hall, when you go out, you represent the reputation of my Heaven and Earth Martial Hall. Instead of Cultivating properly, you just think about being lazy all day!”

“A bunch of good-for-nothings!!”

Listening to this voice, Lu Sheng’s expression immediately became a little strange.

“The owner of this voice… could it be my Senior Sister, whom I’ve never met?”

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but murmur, a hint of hesitation in his eyes as he looked towards the hall.

“Is the time I’m here… a bit off right now?”

Lu Sheng rubbed his head, looking at the hall in front of him, somewhat unsure if he should go in.

Judging from the voices coming from inside the hall, his Senior Sister didn’t seem to be someone easy to deal with!

Just as Lu Sheng was feeling a bit uncertain, that cold voice came from inside the hall again.

“What are you doing outside? If you’re here, come in!”

Hearing these words, Lu Sheng immediately got goosebumps. He looked in the direction of the hall with some shock.

He knew that he was a full hundred meters away from the hall right now!

And he couldn’t be seen from inside the hall.

Under such circumstances, she could still sense his presence?

This… how powerful must she be!!

Lu Sheng swallowed, his hesitation immediately vanishing.

Although a bit nervous, he still obediently walked towards the hall.

However, when Lu Sheng entered the hall and saw what it looked like inside, he was stunned.

Kong Yunchang was lying on a rattan chair, with a pot of tea beside him.

Next to Kong Yunchang, Lan Linglong sat quietly on a chair, holding a yellowed book and reading it with great interest.

Besides the two of them, on the high platform of the hall stood a tall woman with fiery red hair, wearing a tight-fitting combat suit, her face covered with a layer of frost.

If Lan Linglong was the embodiment of extreme gentleness, then this tall woman in front of him was the epitome of extreme coldness.

Inside the hall, the Outer Sect Disciples of the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall were standing in a very strange posture, each of their faces somewhat distorted.

Except for a few Disciples who could remain calm, the other Outer Sect Disciples were all swaying, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

Even so, those Disciples who could maintain their stability all had flushed faces, as if enduring some pain, and sweat was dripping from their foreheads.

“This is…”

Lu Sheng was completely bewildered by the scene before him.

As Lu Sheng walked into the hall, the tall woman’s gaze also shifted to him.

“So, this is Little Junior Brother?”

The tall woman’s eyes lit up, and the moment her voice fell, she appeared directly in front of Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng’s pupils contracted slightly. Before he could even react, his nose caught a faint fragrance, and then, an extremely perfect figure stood before him.

“Gulp!”

Smelling the intermittent fragrance, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but swallow, and his eyes began to dart away.

“Qi and Blood Tenth Layer, a stable Foundation. Not bad, not bad!”

“Old man, I didn’t expect you could find such a Genius!”

That mature and commanding voice slowly sounded.

Only then did Lu Sheng carefully examine the woman in front of him.

“What fast legs, oh no, what fast speed!”

Lu Sheng’s face flushed slightly. Although he had lived two lives, this was the first time he had been so close to a woman.

Even after experiencing much, Lu Sheng still couldn’t quite maintain his composure.

“Heh heh, didn’t you see that your Little Junior Brother is a bit confused right now?”

Kong Yunchang, lying on the rattan chair, chuckled and waved at Lu Sheng.

“Alright, Little Lu, come over here!”

Lu Sheng then, as if relieved, obediently walked to Kong Yunchang’s front.

“Teacher, Senior Sister!”

Lu Sheng first bowed slightly to Kong Yunchang and Lan Linglong.

“This is…”

Lu Sheng scratched the back of his head, his peripheral vision involuntarily glancing at the tall, red-haired woman.

Lan Linglong slowly closed the book in her hand and said gently, “She is our Senior Sister, Kong Xin!”

Hearing this, Lu Sheng fully understood.

At this moment, Kong Xin also walked over slowly with her long legs, her gaze continuously sweeping over Lu Sheng.

“Nice to meet you. Hmm… this can be considered a welcome gift!”

With that, as Kong Xin’s palm slightly turned, an object glowing with a faint golden light, like a pellet, appeared in her hand.

The golden pellet seemed to be filled with an extremely terrifying power. Lu Sheng merely glanced at it and felt as if he was staring at an extremely terrifying entity.

“This is…”

Lu Sheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Suddenly, a line of text appeared before Lu Sheng.

“Ding, Sword Demon Clan Golden Core detected, can be devoured!”

Looking at the text in front of him, Lu Sheng’s pupils contracted slightly.

“Golden Core!!”

Although at present, the highest Martial Artist Realm Lu Sheng knew of was the Viscera Refining Realm, he knew that forming a Golden Core was not an easy task.

Whether it was a Demon Race or a human Martial Artist, those who could form a Golden Core were all top-tier existences.

He hadn’t expected that the item his Senior Sister casually took out would be such a treasure.

However, what did ‘devour’ on the text mean?

“Can be devoured? What does that mean?”

Lu Sheng was a bit confused.

Soon, another line of text appeared before Lu Sheng.

“Devouring the Golden Core can be used to replenish System power and upgrade the System Rank!”

“Upgrade??”

Lu Sheng was even more surprised.

His System could still upgrade?

“What are the effects after the System upgrades?”

Lu Sheng quickly asked in his mind.

However, the System seemed to fall silent, and it took several seconds before another line of text appeared.

“By upgrading the System Rank, the refresh probability of high-Rank Martial Arts Talent can be increased!”

“Refresh probability?”

A glint of light immediately flashed in Lu Sheng’s eyes.

Lu Sheng had thought that the System’s Martial Arts Talent refreshes were completely random, but he hadn’t expected that the refresh of Martial Arts Talent actually had a probability.

“So, what is the current refresh probability of the Talent?”

Lu Sheng asked again in his mind.

This time, the System did not make Lu Sheng wait too long and quickly popped up.

“Refresh Probability: White (60%) Green (20%) Blue (15%) Purple (4%) Red (0.5%) Gold (0.1%) Rainbow (0.09%) Divine (0.01%)”

Looking at the text popped up by the System, Lu Sheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“The probability of Purple is only four percent, and the probability of higher-Rank Martial Arts Talent later on is so low. With such a probability, I might not even be able to refresh a Divine-Grade Talent even if I try for ten or twenty years!”

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but murmur in his heart.

“So, System upgrade can increase the refresh probability of high-Rank Martial Arts Talent, which means that after the System Rank is upgraded, my chances of getting higher-Rank Martial Arts Talent will also be higher. At that time…”

Lu Sheng quickly understood the benefits of System upgrading.

“It seems that to become even stronger, I still need to upgrade the System Rank!”

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but clench his fists.

Then he looked at the Golden Core in Kong Xin’s hand.

“This Golden Core…”

“Eh!”

Suddenly, Kong Xin exclaimed. She looked at Lu Sheng with some curiosity.

“Although the person who formed the Golden Core has already been killed by me, the power contained within the Golden Core, even a Viscera Refining Realm Martial Artist wouldn’t dare to touch it casually. Yet a Qi Blood Realm can ignore the pressure of the Golden Core…”

“As expected of my Little Junior Brother!”

Hearing these words, Lu Sheng was stunned, then immediately reacted.

When he first saw the Golden Core earlier, he indeed felt an extremely terrifying aura, and his heart couldn’t help but want to retreat.

But he didn’t know if it was his Tenacity Talent taking effect, as he actually adapted to this aura.

“Since that’s the case, then this item is for you!”

With that, Kong Xin lightly tossed the Golden Core to Lu Sheng.

This treasure, which could cause a stir among many Martial Artists in the outside world, seemed to be nothing in Kong Xin’s hands.
