Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 250 Hunyuan Mall

"Indeed, I have attained the Dao of Hunyuan!"

Lu Chaoding was secretly pleased and continued, "Junior sister has extraordinary talent and a promising future, but she still needs to work hard now."

Lou Jialan hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Lu Chao and attacked one of the Hongchen Sword Spirits with his sword.

She needs to continue forward and also kill a Hongchen Sword Spirit.

Lu Chao tested his gaze sword technique, always targeting powerful Hongchen sword spirits, but Lou Jialan chose to attack a weakling at only level 60. After easily killing it, she hurriedly headed to the fourth level of the Hongchen Ancient Path.

"She needs to reach the tenth rank to obtain a single Chaos Origin Crystal, tsk tsk..."

Lu Chao stood with his hands behind his back, feeling extremely superior. He followed Lou Jialan to the fourth step of the ancient path. As soon as he entered, he received a system notification, which gave him another 100 Hunyuan Crystals and an unreliable lottery ticket.

"These Hunyuan Crystals can also be used to exchange for items. Where is the Hunyuan Shop located?"

Lu Chao didn't waste any time this time. He randomly chose a target, killed it with a glance, and then continued on his way.

Before long, he and Lou Jialan arrived at the eleventh step.

Here, in addition to a large number of Hongchen Sword Spirits, Lu Chaoding also discovered a Destiny Platform and two huge sword tablets.

Lu Chao stepped forward to take a look and found that the Fate Platform was just an ordinary Fate Platform where one could draw a prize; there was nothing special about it.

The two sword tablets are, in a sense, teleportation tablets that allow you to leave the Hongchen Ancient Road and be randomly teleported to a location in one of the twelve states of the Sword Realm, and the other is the Hunyuan Mall.

"The Ancient Path of Hongchen can only go forward, not backward. Every ten levels there is a teleportation sword stele and a Hunyuan Mall," Lou Jialan said. "The further you go, the stronger the Hongchen Sword Spirit becomes. If you want to leave the Ancient Path of Hongchen, you can activate the teleportation sword stele."

"I think I can climb a few more floors."

Lu Chaoding certainly wouldn't leave. He came to Hunyuan Mall, and a semi-transparent mall panel immediately popped up in front of him.

The Hunyuan Mall had a wide variety of goods. Lu Chaoding studied them carefully and found that there were many good items among them. He was particularly interested in the various "physical constitutions".

"Exquisite Dao Body, Bright Moon Sacred Body, Innate Undying Body... Legendary physiques, even a Celestial King descends to the Nine Heavens, tsk tsk, this physique requires 10000 Chaos Origin Crystals to exchange for, 10000! A normal player would have to climb 100,000 steps on this Ancient Path of Primordial Dust to accumulate that much, and they didn't even mention the effects, it must be incredibly powerful!"

Lu Chaoding silently calculated that it wouldn't be difficult for him to accumulate 10000 Hongchen Crystals; he only needed to walk up 100 steps on this Hongchen Ancient Path.

Lou Jialan was also studying the Hunyuan Mall at this moment, and she exclaimed, "You can actually exchange for physique here!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chaoding asked her, "Junior sister, is it possible for one person to possess multiple constitutions?"

"Hmm?" Lou Jialan looked up at Lu Chao and asked, "What do you mean, Senior Brother? Do you perhaps want to exchange for multiple physiques?"

"Yes!" Lu Chao nodded seriously. "Is that okay?"

Lou Jialan shook her head and said, "Of course, a person can only possess one type of physique. Exchanging for a new one will likely overwrite the old one. The physiques in this Hunyuan Mall are all very powerful. Obtaining any one of them is comparable to the fortune of proving one's origin in the Hunyuan realm. Do you really want to collect them all?"

"It would be such a waste if a person could only have one type of constitution!"

Lu Chao was somewhat disappointed. He was not short of Hunyuan Crystals; he already had 880. Among the items in the Hunyuan Mall, he simply couldn't afford the legendary physique of "Immortal King Descending to the Nine Heavens."

He did set a goal for himself: to collect Chaos Origin Crystals and buy the [Immortal King Descends Upon the Nine Heavens].

Lu Chaoding and Lou Jialan continued forward and soon climbed the twentieth step.

Here, Lu Chaoding met Lou Jialan's apprentice, Li Yanlong.

The player was now a "Sword Spirit of the Primordial Dust," perched atop a giant sword statue. Upon seeing Lu Chaoding and Lou Jialan, she immediately cried out, "Master, Senior Uncle, please save me! I've become a Sword Spirit of the Primordial Dust and am trapped here!"

Lu Chao narrowed his eyes and immediately understood what was going on. It must be that Li Yanlong had failed to challenge the Hongchen Sword Spirit. According to the rules of the Hongchen Ancient Path, she would become the Hongchen Sword Spirit and would need to defeat other players to escape.

Lou Jialan completely ignored Li Yanlong. She might have cared about this disciple when she was an NPC, but now she was an AI player and completely ignored Li Yanlong's calls. She just kept moving forward and soon found a weak Hongchen Sword Spirit. She drew her sword to fight it and defeated it before ruthlessly continuing on her way.

"Master, Master, you can't abandon me! I'm the one who saved you back then..."

Li Yanlong shouted in frustration

Lu Chaoding stood before her and said, "I'm sorry, I can't save you either. Reality is cruel, but you have to accept it. Perhaps we'll meet again someday."

After saying that, Lu Chao glanced at the Hongchen Sword Spirit beside him and instantly killed it, then headed towards the twenty-first step.

He truly couldn't save Li Yanlong, and Li Yanlong's experience made him realize that he should act according to his abilities on the Hongchen Ancient Road, because being defeated by the Hongchen Sword Spirit would be a real tragedy.

On the twenty-first step, there is also the Destiny Platform, the Teleportation Sword Stele, and the Hunyuan Mall. To Lu Chao's surprise, there is even an NPC here.

This NPC has white hair and is named [Lu Ziya]. He is a level 90 sword master.

He stood before the Hunyuan Mall, and upon seeing Lu Chaoding, immediately bowed and said, "Please help me, fellow Daoist!"

"Hmm?" Lu Chao looked at the NPC with interest and asked, "How can I help?"

"Fellow Daoist, please help me buy a Breakthrough Pearl!"

"Breakthrough Pearl?"

Lu Chaoding looked at the product panel of Hunyuan Mall. A Breakthrough Pearl costs 10 Hunyuan Crystals to exchange for, and its effect is to help people remove the realm restrictions below Hunyuan Realm.

"Ten Hunyuan crystals aren't a lot..."

Just as Lu Chao was about to refuse [Lu Ziya], he suddenly received a system notification: "Ding, the occasionally unreliable system has been activated, issuing a task: Gift the mysterious sword god Lu Ziya a Breakthrough Pearl. The reward for completing the task is 10 Breakthrough Pearls and [Lu Ziya]'s favorability."
