World version update

Chapter 53 Bugs and Fixes

The woman sitting at the desk was wearing a white dress and a transparent veil covering her face, but her stunning beauty could still be seen just by the curve of her outline.

But if you move your gaze to the eyes above the veil, the cold gaze is like a sharp sword, as if it can cut through all disguises and penetrate people's hearts.

Almost instinctively, the Xuanhuang Merit Fire ignited from within the soul, protecting Lu Yan's spirit and soul.

"Merit and magical powers? That's interesting."

The indifference in the eyes of the woman sitting at the desk disappeared for the most part, and she seemed to have become somewhat interested in Lu Yan.

It was not until this moment that Lu Yan broke free from the intimidation of that gaze.

Lu Yan lightly pinched his brows, trying to suppress the Xuanhuang Merit Fire that was trying to explode. He smiled and bowed to the beautiful woman in front of him, saying:

"Lu Yan meets Senior Sister Ji!"

The woman in front of him was none other than the Qingwu Sect’s true disciple, the Jade-carving Fairy Ji Xingyao!

It was a stunning glimpse at the first sight in the market town. This was the second time Lu Yan saw Ji Xingyao, and also the second character he met across versions.

The last person I saw across versions was Shopkeeper Chu, who was beaten to death by Lu Yan with random punches.

Facing the fairy-tale version of the Jade Fairy, Lu Yan no longer felt as relaxed as he did in the urban version.

In the urban version, Ji Xingyao is just a down-and-out internet celebrity, while Lu Yan is the only immortal cultivator in this world.

But in the fairy-tale version, Ji Xingyao is the lofty Xuanmen master, while Lu Yan is just a small casual cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training.

The identities were reversed and replaced, but what was more important was the strength shown by Ji Xingyao.

She entered the cave silently, and if she hadn't intentionally exposed herself, Lu Yan would not have even noticed.

With such strength, if anyone had the intention to kill Lu Yan, he would not even be able to take out the Hundred Souls Banner. The strength he displayed was far beyond any cultivator Lu Yan had ever seen.

What's more, even if he used the Hundred Souls Banner, Lu Yan felt that it would be difficult for him to compete with Ji Xingyao.

The Hundred Souls Banner can indeed help Lu Yan to cross a great realm and kill the enemy, but Ji Xingyao, who is a true disciple of the Qingwu Sect, is obviously not included in this category.

If physical action fails, then we can only talk about friendship.

Lu Yan did not forget that he had gained favorability in front of Ji Xingyao in the urban version.

I don't know what this will look like with version mapping, but it might be able to help.

Ji Xingyao looked at Lu Yan and did not object to the title of "Senior Sister Ji". She just said with a bit of surprise:

“I didn’t see through you in the Bamboo Forest Market at that time. I didn’t expect that your cultivation level was only the middle stage of Qi training.

The magical power is well practiced, but unfortunately the realm is too low to fully display the true mystery of the merit and magical power."

Lu Yan's heart trembled. Ji Xingyao's words made Lu Yan keenly aware of a key point in the version update, that is, Lu Yan's first-level Qi Refining cultivation in the urban version would not be reflected through information mapping.

In the urban version, no one practices Taoism, so naturally no one can see through Lu Yan's cultivation.

In Ji Xingyao's memory, Lu Yan is still mysterious and unpredictable, rather than just a small cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining. This characteristic will not disappear due to cross-version changes.

It will not be until Lu Yan appears in front of her again that Ji Xingyao will correct this memory with the current information.

“This may be utilized in later version updates.”

The thought flashed through his mind, but on the surface Lu Yan chuckled and said:

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sister Ji. I wonder what exactly is going on here?"

Ji Xingyao glanced at Lu Yan who was trying to get away with it, and said indifferently:

“Don’t pretend, I had already arrived at Qinggu Market long before they started the investigation.

I don't want to bother with you about using my name to fool Xie Yun."

As she spoke, Ji Xingyao extended her right hand, as soft as jade, towards Lu Yan.

"Give it to me?" "What is it?" Lu Yan tried to play dumb.

"The thing you showed Xie Yun."

Lu Yan's face suddenly showed a look of pain, and he took out the storage bag of spiritual marrow ore from his arms.

Although he had robbed this spiritual marrow mine, it was related to future changes in the urban version and was extremely valuable to him.

But Ji Xingyao had already come to the door to ask for it, so if he still couldn't give it out, it would seem a bit ungrateful.

Lu Yan was already satisfied that Ji Xingyao didn't take action at the first moment due to that little bit of favorability. He didn't dare to expect that this jade-carving fairy would be so easy to talk to.

Ji Xingyao took the storage bag, took a look at the contents, and threw it to Lu Yan expressionlessly, as if she didn't care at all about the spiritual marrow ore worth tens of thousands of spirit stones.

"That's not it."

Lu Yan, who had just recovered his lost item, showed a look of joy, but his expression froze when he heard Ji Xingyao's words.

He immediately realized that what Ji Xingyao wanted was not the spiritual marrow ore, but the photo he showed to Xie Yun.

That photo is from the urban version, but his unchanging characteristics can be retained in the fairy version.

There are supplies left behind in the apocalyptic version because both versions are modern cities, but the timelines are slightly different. All we need to do is erase the information such as the production date.

But the photo was not something that belonged to the fairy-tale version at all. It was shown to Xie Yun to prove the relationship between him and Ji Xingyao, which was really a helpless move.

Xie Yun had not touched the photo and was unable to identify the material and production method of the photo. He could only think that it was some kind of special magical photograph.

But once Ji Xingyao gets the photo, she will definitely find that the photo is just an ordinary thing.

In addition, the person in the photo is Ji Xingyao. She has no memory of the down-and-out internet celebrity in the urban version. What will be Ji Xingyao’s attitude towards the completely different self in the photo?

Will the world version update cause unknown changes due to the collision between the two Ji Xingyao?

Lu Yan fell into silence. He instinctively sensed that there seemed to be danger, while Ji Xingyao just stared at Lu Yan quietly.

There was no urging, no threats.

After a while, Lu Yan reached into the storage bag on his chest, took out the photo and handed it to Ji Xingyao.

Ji Xingyao reached out to take the photo, her eyes fell on the photo, and her face, which was like an iceberg for thousands of years, finally changed at this moment.

"This is."

A powerful aura suddenly burst out from Ji Xingyao, like a sharp sword rushing straight into the sky. The unrivaled sword intent seemed to be able to cut through the nine layers of clouds, and the second-level formation guarding the market town was shattered in an instant.

Just facing the pressure, the Xuanhuang Merit Fire was triggered at this moment, and the merit light protected his body so that Lu Yan would not be hurt by the aftermath of the sword intent.

Outside Qinggu Market, Xie Yun, who was examining many independent cultivators, suddenly changed his expression.

"She is actually in the market place!"

"What are those disciples who are trying to stop her doing?"

Without any hesitation, Xie Yun directly abandoned the many cultivators present and turned into a beam of light and rushed away into the distance.

Seeing the actions of the inner sect senior brother, the other dozen or so outer sect disciples also fled in all directions. Outside the Qinggu market, only many independent cultivators were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Inside the cave, Lu Yan stared at the changes in Ji Xingyao's body. Even with the protection of the Xuanhuang Merit Fire, the sharp sword intent still stung his eyes and made Lu Yan shed tears unconsciously.

The next moment, the color photo in Ji Xingyao's hand disappeared.

It was as if a supreme and majestic being had completely erased all traces of the photo; information, cause and effect, and concepts all disappeared at this moment.

No matter how hard I searched in the past or the future, I couldn't find any trace of that photo.

The next moment, a piece of text popped up in front of Lu Yan's eyes.
