Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 45 Special Opportunity Mission

Lu Chao's unreliable lottery ticket, if used at 12 noon, will definitely yield a three-star item.

He arrived at the Heavenly Fate Platform at the perfect moment, flicked the unreliable lottery ticket in his hand, and it vanished into light. A vortex of clouds appeared in the sky, and then a beam of blue light emerged from it, quickly descending to Lu Chao's head and transforming into a ball of light.

As Lu Chaoding pierced the ball of light, the four large characters "Subduing Demon Sword Formation" appeared.

=====

Secret Technique: Demon-Subduing Sword Formation

Star rating: 3 stars

Class: Sword Immortal

Level: LV1

Note 1: If the Demon-Subduing Sword Formation is set up in advance, the toughness of those who enter the formation will decrease faster (Sword Formation Level × 10%), and their defense will decrease by (Sword Formation Level × 5) points.

Note 2: Consume 200 [Cultivation Points] to upgrade the Secret Technique to LV2. A three-star Secret Technique can be upgraded to LV6 at most.

Note 3: Once the skill level is increased, the skill book will be bound and will not be tradable.

=====

"It's a secret technique skill book! Too bad you can only have one secret technique. My 'Shadow Splitting Sword' is still much better!"

Lu Chao was slightly disappointed. He put away the secret skill book, planning to sell it for money after the trading house opened.

Next, Lu Chaoding started running the map.

The daytime jungle clearing yielded too little reward, so Lu Chaoding thought he should explore the map properly today and maybe encounter some unexpected surprises.

A moment later, Lu Chaoding encountered Wang Yingluo and her team who were playing jungle monsters together. He took out the tattered sack and showed it to her. Wang Yingluo immediately understood and stepped forward to offer him 700 gold coins, saying, "Brother Ding, don't tie me up. I'll pay you back 700 first, and I'll save up the remaining 1300. I'll pay you back as soon as I have the money!"

Lu Chao nodded, put away the gold coins, and left.

Lu Chao then spent three hours exploring the entire Boiling Blood Lion Mountain.

Boiling Lion Mountain is actually not very large, and the area where players can move around is also very limited. The most suitable places for hunting are Lion Cliff, the coastal beach, and an unnamed hillside behind the mountain.

The unnamed hillside was flat, and behind it was a road leading to Fiery Fang Mountain. In the distance, you could see a sword monument and a Destiny Platform at the end of the road.

However, this path is currently blocked by a light barrier, which will obviously only disappear after the story mission is completed.

After exploring the area, Lu Chaoding only managed to collect a few [Boiling Blood Grass] plants and gained nothing else.

"No bosses are one thing, but not even any wild treasure chests? This beginner map is so boring!"

Lu Chao, unwilling to give up, arrived at the beach and rode his tiger and sword directly into the sea.

There were no restrictions on movement in the sea, and Lu Chao continued straight ahead, quickly reaching his maximum speed of twenty meters per second.

"This vast ocean, doesn't it offer some unexpected adventures?"

He shouted something, then maintained his maximum speed and flew for an hour and a half, about 100 kilometers off the island, until he finally saw the pale blue light barrier.

The light curtain stretched to the heavens and beyond the horizon, seemingly encircling the entire Skywalking Island.

Unable to break through the light barrier, Lu Chao followed the edge of the light barrier and flew for another two hours before suddenly discovering a small island.

The island, within the light screen, was only about the size of a football field. Its scenery could be seen at a glance. The only thing that caught the eye was a tall figure wearing a straw hat sitting cross-legged on a reef overlooking the sea.

Lu Chaoding saw the figure and was immediately overjoyed.

"A wild NPC has been spotted!"

He thought to himself, how could it be believable to encounter an NPC in such a remote place without some kind of "serendipity" or "hidden quest"?

So Lu Chao rode a tiger and flew on his sword, quickly reaching the island. But when he got close to the figure, he was suddenly stunned.

The NPC turned around, and it turned out to be Senior Brother Niu Daren.

"Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, what brings you here?"

Niu Daren raised his eyebrows as he spoke. He was different from the one at the mountaintop camp. The one at the mountaintop camp was only level 11, but the one in front of him was level 25. The outfit he was wearing seemed to be the Boiling Blood Battle Suit, and he was carrying a very nice-looking jade-sheathed longsword on his back.

"Senior Brother Niu Daren!" Lu Chao retorted, "I sailed out to sea on my sword, specifically to seek an opportunity here!"

"There's no opportunity here. You should go back!"

"No opportunity? Then what are you doing here, senior brother?"

"I'm here……"

Niu Daren blushed, smiled somewhat guiltily, and said, "Of course I'm here to enjoy the scenery!"

At that moment, a small hole appeared in the light screen ahead, and a "spaceship" slowly drove out from it.

The spaceship resembled a painted boat, with colorful ribbons hanging from its eaves and corners. Its hull was crystal clear, as if it were carved from jade. At the bow stood a burly woman.

The woman was wearing a colorful dress, and her height was estimated to be over 1.9 meters. She had a very imposing appearance, like a female version of Zhang Fei, and several black moles on her face.

Lu Chaoding saw her attribute information.

[Ye Cuihua: LV25 Sword Demon, current head of the Tiancong Ye family, leader of the Tiancong Merchant Guild, and owner of the Linglong Flying Boat. Note: The Great Sword Sect and the Tiancong Ye family have been enemies for generations!]

Upon seeing Niu Daren, "Ye Cuihua" beamed with joy, waving from afar and calling out, "Daren!"

Niu Daren's face also lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Cuihua!"

Soon, the airship docked, and Niu Daren and Ye Cuihua couldn't wait to hug each other. Ye Cuihua was taller and more robust than Niu Daren, and she even spun him around several times.

Lu Chao, standing behind, found it unbearable to watch. He thought to himself, "Niu Daren has actually come for a secret rendezvous. Good heavens, and the other party is the big boss of the enemy force!"

"This senior brother is really something else!"

Lu Chaoding pondered silently.

Soon, Niu Daren led Ye Cuihua to Lu Chaoding's side and said, "Junior brother, who is this...?"

Lu Chaoding immediately flashed an "I understand" smile, cupped his hands, and said, "I know, it's my senior sister-in-law!"

Ye Cuihua blushed, lowered her head slightly, bowed, and then used her delicate fingers to cover her face.

Lu Chaoding once again exclaimed that it was an eyesore, but returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

Ye Cuihua then said, "Daren, you brought this junior brother to see me, so you must trust him a lot."

Niu Daren actually nodded and said, "That's right, Junior Brother Lu Chaoding is the junior brother I trust most. We don't need to hide our affairs from him!"

"Hmm!" Ye Cuihua bowed to Lu Chaoding again and said, "Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, I won't hide it from you, I am from the Ye family of Tiancong Prefecture!"

Lu Chao nodded, thinking to himself that he had figured it out.

Ye Cuihua continued, "As everyone knows, our Ye family has a deep-seated grudge against the Great Sword Sect, and we have been enemies for generations. If the leaders of the Great Sword Sect find out that you are associating with me, they will certainly not let you off the hook..."

Niu Daren said, "Cuihua, there's no need to say any of that. For you, I'm willing to betray the Great Sword Sect. My sect has been kind to me, but you are the love of my life, and I can't live without you. Why don't I go with you right now!"

Lu Chao rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "Senior Brother, how can you say something like that? I don't believe you're not after a rich woman!"

Ye Cuihua's large, basin-like face showed a shy and touched expression as she said, "Daren, I understand your feelings. In truth, I also long to be with you and live happily ever after as a divine couple. However, if I cannot find my father's remains, I will certainly not leave."

Suddenly, Ye Cuihua looked at Lu Chaoding and said, "Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, are you willing to help me?"

Lu Chaoding's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "Finally, a mission!" He quickly raised his hand and said, "Of course I'm willing! My senior brother and I are inseparable, so please just say what you need, senior sister-in-law. I'll definitely help if I can!"

Ye Cuihua nodded, then sighed, and slowly said, "My father, Ye Linlang, perished at your clan's Lion Mountain twenty years ago. I have come here today to find my father's remains!"

"Your father? Who? Ye Linlang?"

Lu Chaoding immediately thought of the Linglang Secret Realm beneath Lion Cliff.

Ye Cuihua took out a piece of green jade and continued, "This item is called the 'Tethering Jade,' which can guide the location of my father's remains and also has protective effects. Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, if you can find my father's remains for me, I am willing to give you an ancient sword cultivation inheritance."

"Ding! Special quest received: [Searching for the Remains]: Find Ye Linlang's remains in Boiling Blood Lion Mountain and deliver them to Ye Cuihua. Upon completion, you will receive [Ancient Sword Cultivation Inheritance] x1!"

"Ding! The occasionally unreliable system has activated, updating the tracking mission with altered content: Find 10 [Ye Linlang's Remains] in Boiling Blood Lion Mountain and deliver them to Ye Cuihua. Upon completion of the mission, you will receive 10 [Ancient Sword Cultivator's Legacy]!"
