World version update

Chapter 131 Who is Zhao Huowang?
Lu Yan realized the special connection between the fairy-tale version and the urban version a long time ago.

The Xianxia version possesses a powerful supernatural system, and after mastering it, one can easily live for hundreds or even thousands of years.

However, since this path to immortality is extremely difficult, those who can build a foundation before the age of thirty are already a child of destiny, and those who can form an elixir before the age of a hundred are a rare genius among a million, not to mention that the subsequent realms of cultivation will be even more difficult and the time consumed will increase exponentially.

In contrast, there are no extraordinary abilities in the urban version, and everyone can only maintain the lifespan of an ordinary person.

Once the lifespan ends, they will "die" in the urban version, but can still reappear in the fairy version.

The most intuitive of these are the deceased literary stars that Lu Yan met in Qingwu Sect.

In the urban version, they have reached the end of their lifespan and are completely dead, but in the immortal version, they still have hundreds of years of long lifespan.

This leads to a special situation, that is, only practitioners under the age of 120 can appear in the urban version.

This age group is already extremely young in the fairy-tale version. Normally, being able to reach the golden elixir stage at this age is already the limit.

But the Mu Chunqiu in front of him was practicing such a profound anti-aging technique in an era where no other methods were available, and his every move exuded an aura of authority and power, which made Lu Yan associate his cultivation with that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

A 103-year-old Nascent Soul is totally impossible in other sects.

But if it is placed in Taiyi Sect, there is still hope.

After all, the master of Taiyi Sect practiced Feng Shui to explore ruins and tombs. It depends on luck to be able to obtain treasures from these ancient tombs. As long as the luck is deep enough, one can go from Qi training to Golden Elixir in nine years.

The appearance of a hundred-year-old Yuanying is quite reasonable.

After sorting out my thoughts, an irrepressible joy followed.

Mu Chunqiu promised Lu Yan a private collection. The collection of a Jindan Zhenren and the treasure house of Yuanying Zhenjun are two completely different concepts.

What's more, Mu Chunqiu is also a Feng Shui master and one of the main branches of the Taiyi Sect. His wealth is simply unimaginable.

At this moment, Lu Yan could no longer say anything to refuse. He was afraid that if he continued to be polite, Mu Chunqiu would be displeased and cancel the promise directly, so he immediately nodded and said:

"Thank you, Master Mu!"

Mu Chunqiu then stroked his beard with satisfaction.

The reason why he was going to give the collection to Lu Yan was not only because Lu Yan had saved He Dongsheng many times, but also because he liked this younger generation who was very respectful to him.

He is over a hundred years old and has experienced several changes of the times. In today's urban society, people are impetuous and there are very few rich and powerful people willing to be so respectful to an old man. This makes him very pleased.

If not for this, he would have just thrown something at him and sent him away, and would not have let Lu Yan choose from his private collection.

"But I have an unwelcome request, and I hope Master Mu will agree to it."

"But it doesn't matter."

Lu Yan said with a serious face: "I have just joined the Archaeological Association and don't know much about many things. I want to postpone the selection of treasures for a while."

If Lu Yan had obtained the collection in the urban version, it is very likely that he would have just gained an extra antique treasure, which would not have any substantial value.

Even if you place it far away before the version update, it may disappear due to changes in time and space.

Even if you succeed by chance, if the next version is not a fairy-tale version, it may not become a good thing. It is too risky to get it in advance.

On the other hand, leaving it in Mu Chunqiu's hands and waiting to choose it after the Xianxia version is released can maximize the stability of Lu Yan's harvest.

Even if you enter a higher-energy version during this period, you can use this promise to obtain treasures.

"It's a small matter. Whenever you want to choose, just let Dongsheng bring you to me." Mu Chunqiu agreed to this matter lightly.

After saying that, Mu Chunqiu casually said a few words to He Dongsheng, and without staying here for too long, he took a taxi and left.

He Dongsheng took the excuse that he hadn't seen Lu Yan for a long time and took Lu Yan to a restaurant.

During the conversation after a meal and a few drinks, Lu Yan finally understood He Dongsheng's current situation.

At first, Mu Chunqiu took He Dongsheng in, but did not accept him as his disciple until He Dongsheng showed amazing good fortune in subsequent archaeological excavations.

Everyone else was seriously injured by the mechanisms in the tomb, but He Dongsheng was unharmed and always found the right path.

Only then did Mu Chunqiu realize that He Dongsheng was incredibly lucky, and he immediately accepted him as his disciple.

This is the characteristic of the late spring and autumn lineage. Good fortune is of paramount importance, while aptitude is secondary.

In this way, He Dongsheng successfully went from being a fake goods seller to becoming the successor of one of the main lineages of the Taiyi Sect. One cannot help but sigh that the world is unpredictable.

"Brother Lu, don't worry!"

He Dongsheng patted Lu Yan's shoulder with a flushed face, his eyes drunken.

"You've helped me so many times. Just tell me what you want and I'll steal it from my master's treasure house!"

He Dongsheng’s words immediately frightened Lu Yan.

After realizing that Mu Chunqiu was a Yuanying, Lu Yan did have the evil intention of stealing the treasure house.

But after weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yan gave up this tempting idea.

Stealing the treasure of a Yuanying, even if the other party is just an ordinary person in the urban version, will involve a lot of trouble once the move is made.

Moreover, even if they were really stolen, after several version updates and transformations, how many treasures would be truly valuable?

Instead of taking a greedy gamble, it is better to take a guaranteed reward safely.

Lu Yan immediately refused:
"You can't talk about this kind of thing casually. He is your master."

"Master always says that his time is coming and all his treasures will be left to me. Aren't they mine?"

Hearing that the deadline was approaching, Lu Yan couldn't help but twitch his lips and secretly complained in his heart.

"According to the current progress, even if you die, your master will most likely still be alive and well."

After another round of drinking, seeing that He Dongsheng was getting more and more drunk, Lu Yan finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"Brother He mentioned Zhao Huowang to me before. I wonder if Brother He found anything valuable among the things Zhao Huowang left behind?"

Zhao Huowang appears in both the fairy-tale version and the cyber version, and the things Zhao Huowang left behind provide great help to Lu Yan.

So Lu Yan really wanted to know what the urban version of Zhao Huowang saw.

He Dongsheng, who was already drunk, tilted his head and thought for a long time, then asked Lu Yan:

"Who is Zhao Huowang?"
