Transmigrating to a chat group: After heeding advice, I became the ruler of the primordial world.

Chapter 4: The Ancestral Witch Houtu! The Troubles of Too Good a Reward!

Several thousand meters away from Lu Yun, there is a huge stone peak, majestic and imposing.

A woman stood atop the stone peak, dressed in black, with a face as beautiful as jade, and a mysterious power faintly emanating from between her brows.

She had a pair of bright eyes that seemed to contain the endless universe, giving people a sense of boundless majesty and profundity in her gaze. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, the ends falling in waves, adding a touch of gentleness to her majesty.

This woman was none other than Houtu, one of the twelve famous Ancestral Witches in this primordial world!

At this moment, she was looking at Lu Yun with great interest.

She had just passed by when she saw a streak of light descend from the sky. She initially thought it was the birth of some magical treasure, but to her surprise, it turned out to be a strangely dressed human. She became interested.

Just now, when the group of demonic beasts were discussing how to divide Lu Yun, Houtu was thinking of intervening to save him.

After all, the human race was created by Nuwa, and although she and Nuwa now belong to the Witch and Demon factions respectively, their past friendship has not disappeared.

Previously, she had also taken good care of the human race near the Houtu Ancestral Court.

To her surprise, this strangely dressed human actually knew how to cultivate, and had just completed a breakthrough in a short time.

Although the breakthrough from refining essence into qi to refining qi into spirit was insignificant in her eyes, the significance behind this breakthrough inevitably drew Houtu's attention.

As far as she knew, since the birth of humanity ten thousand years ago, there had never been any cultivation method.

Apart from the first batch of humans created by Nuwa herself, who possessed some strength, the other humans born later were inherently weak and could only rely on forcibly consuming the flesh and blood of some demonic beasts to withstand the impact of spiritual energy and fight to the death for a sliver of hope to improve their strength.

The human in front of us is clearly practicing some kind of cultivation method!

"Could it be that Sister Nuwa recently created a cultivation method suitable for humans and passed it on to them?" Houtu couldn't help but have this thought.

She decided to continue observing to see what the human would do next.

As a result, she suddenly noticed that Lu Yun had stopped absorbing spiritual energy and was no longer cultivating. Instead, he opened his eyes and looked around.

Houtu's heart skipped a beat: Could it be that the human race is planning to take advantage of the infighting among those demon beasts to find an opportunity to escape?

……

In fact, if he could, Lu Yun would not want to stop cultivating.

However, he can't cultivate now, because he has already perfected the "Breathing Technique," and continuing to cultivate this technique will not improve his strength.

Left with no other choice, Lu Yun had to stop for the time being and think of another way.

The only solutions Lu Yun could think of right now, besides the chat group, were the system.

The points shop in the transmigrator chat group had a wide variety of items, but he didn't have any points at all and couldn't afford to buy anything.

Lu Yun could only look to his system.

He suddenly noticed that one of the suggestions he had heard before was to find valuable items around him and upload them!

The mission reward is a premium treasure chest!

But where can he find valuable items?

Lu Yun cautiously opened his eyes and looked around.

As far as the eye can see, besides a lot of weeds, there are only some stones of different sizes.

Upon seeing these things, Lu Yun's heart stirred:

"I wonder if these stones can be considered valuable items?"

Lu Yun decided to give it a try!

He felt that the world was so rich in spiritual energy that one could master the "Breathing Technique" with just a little practice, which suggested that it must be a very advanced world.

Perhaps the stones found in such an advanced world are something precious to other worlds?

So, he quietly grabbed a fist-sized stone next to him, opened the chat group, and clicked upload.

The next moment, a system notification sounded:

"Ding! Host heeded advice and has obtained a premium treasure chest!"

Lu Yun was overjoyed; everything was settled!

At the same time, he noticed a message notification pop up in the chat group:

"You have uploaded a Water Spirit Stone. Please set a selling price! Suggested selling price: 300-500 points!"

Lu Yun couldn't help but get excited.

Just as he had guessed, the world he was in was of a very high level, and even an ordinary stone had considerable value!

Without a second thought, he immediately set the price of the item at 500 points!

Immediately, a notification sounded in the chat group:

"Group member Lu Yun uploaded a new item—a Water Spirit Stone! Price: 500 points!"

The newcomers in the group immediately started discussing it.

Chen Hai: "Someone found something valuable and uploaded it so quickly?"

Fang Wenjie: "We're all newcomers, why are you so lucky, Lu Yun?"

Lin Yan: "Didn't they say there was a divine retribution aura? I don't even dare to go out, and you're already taking off? @Lu Yun"

……

Compared to the excited shouts of the newcomers, many of the older customers immediately opened the points mall and quickly browsed the relevant information about the items to see if they were useful to them.

Lu Yun ignored the messages in the group chat.

You should know that he is still in danger at any time. Those monsters could catch up with him and eat him with almost no effort!

So, I quickly opened the premium treasure chest I had just obtained, as well as the regular treasure chest I had obtained before.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the spell: Earth Escape Technique!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained: a pair of premium running shoes!"

Looking at the two rewards offered, Lu Yun felt a mix of emotions.

Clearly, the rewards from this system are truly anything you could possibly get!

Fortunately, both the magic and the running shoes are useful to him now.

He was sleeping before he transmigrated, so his feet were naturally bare. He couldn't run around if he wanted to, but now that he has shoes, it's much more convenient!

Of course, compared to running shoes, the other spell is undoubtedly more valuable.

Lu Yun immediately retrieved the other reward, "Earth Escape Technique".

Instantly, the contents of the spell were quickly imprinted in his mind, allowing him to memorize it rapidly.

Lu Yun was originally full of anticipation, thinking that if he learned this spell, he would have more ways to escape.

But when he saw the contents of the spell, he was dumbfounded.

"This spell actually requires one to have reached at least the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm before it can be cast!"

Based on the discussion he overheard from the demonic beasts, Lu Yun knew that his current cultivation level, according to the classification of this world, should belong to the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation stage.

The so-called "refining the spirit and returning to emptiness" is the realm after refining qi and transforming it into spirit!

In other words, if he doesn't continue to improve his cultivation, he won't be able to use the Earth Escape Technique even if he learns it!

"this……"

Lu Yun was on the verge of tears, realizing for the first time that receiving a high-grade reward wasn't necessarily a good thing.

Coincidentally, at that very moment, he heard a new notification pop up in the chat group.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that someone had actually bought the "Water Spirit Stone" he had just uploaded!
