1963 Words
‘Finally, now I can check my status window and the gift without arousing anyone attention.
If they see me doing thing that out of ordinary they might even think I am a crazy person. Li Xian is also thinking about another thing which is the offer of that old man.
He had a plan. He did not expect that plan could not even last a day. He planned to hone his skill inside the forest become coming down the mountain.
The old man offer is very tempting.
With the old man guidance, it would be easier for him.
But he is also anticipating the Broken Sword Sec to know that their people Wang Li had died.
In normal stories, when the sect found out that their members were killed, they would try to get revenge.
In other stories, the perpetrator should hide and disguise themselves and wait until the coast is clear before appearing again.
But Li Xian wanted people to know that he killed Wang Li.
Only that way, the Broken Sword Sect would try to fight with him and n only that way he could gain more points later.
‘I should make the decision tomorrow then’
He is still not sure whether to follow his plans or go with the old man down the mountain. He still believes there is a lot of places to uncover in this forest.
Li Xian really wanted to know the name of this forest and where he is right now.
But when the old man comes to his hut, Li Xian could tell that the old man was tired. He is not in a rush. He could ask the old man the morning.
Finished organizing’ he said to himself. This is his habits. Organizing things in his mind of what he should o and what he could do.
He then checks his status window.
Thinking about it, the status window appears in front of his eyes

He was shocked at something when looking at his status window. It was the age part. He is no longer twelve. Instead he is thirteen.
‘Hah. I didn’t know that? It must be that Li Xian was already near thirteen years old before he transmigrated into this body. It means that this night he already turns to thirteen years of age
Not that it changes anything.
But just curious he taps the interface window of age and then suddenly a voice sounded in his ears
[Congratulation to the host for surviving another year. Eligible for drawing lottery]
What?
That is the first reaction of Li Xian.
The system even has lottery system?
He is shocked and excited at the same time.
Could this lottery system could only be activated when he became a year older. Even though only two days passed, the system said congratulation for surviving another year.
That means, the system calculates one year not according to the days he survives but according to real age.
He did not see any holography projection of a lottery draw system.
‘Do I need to think of it too?’ He asks himself and the moment he thinks about the lottery draw system, a lottery in the form of spinning wheel appears in front of Li Xian eyes.
[Do the host want to spin the lottery?]
[The host have thirteen tries to spin the lottery]
Thirteen tries? Li Xian then narrows his eyes. So, the attempts correspond with the age? When he reaches fourteen years old will he have fourteen tries on the lottery
The spinning wheel is very large and at every part of the wheel there is there is variety of items and reward that made Li Xian felt very excited
Li Xian then nodded to himself.
‘Spin the wheel’
The wheel was spin and then after a few seconds, it stopped
[Gained a whetstone]
[Improve your luck and get more valuable thing]
the system said to him after the whetstone appears in his storage bag.
Now, that he has a storage bag, the system immediately sent all of his items to his storage bag. It saves him the time of manually taking the things out of the system and putting it in the storage bag
Whetstone?
Li Xian check the description and it describe a whetstone as an item that could help sharpen back a rusty sword.
Li Xian understand what it means.
The sword that he bought from the store is very sharp. But with daily use, it would slowly degrade to other lower quality. Looking at the whetstone he rad the description again and sighed
[Could only be used once]
He had spin one time and he still could spin the wheel twelve times.
His eyes look at the wheel and he prays in his heart.
He hopes that he would get a lightness skill for free or a gift pack of ten thousand martial skill points. He saw one in the wheel.
He saw many of such things.
Some of the martial arts skill and the swordplay on the lottery is something that he could not buy in the System Store because of the requirements of the Power Level or other requirements that he still could not fulfill like the opening of a certain meridian.
In the spinning wheel however, these restricted martial arts skill and swordplay is not dimmed like it is the system store. It shows that if he could get it from the spinning wheel, he might be able to surpass the requirements to learn it.
‘Spin!’ He shouted in his mind.
The wheel spins and this spin it falls down into a small martial skill point gift pack.
A small martial skill point gift pack rewarded him with five thousand martial skill points if he opened it.
He keeps spinning and spinning and most of the time he would either get a whetstone, or a martial skill points and life skill points pack.
A few times he got lightness skill points pack too.
But what he w anted was powerful martial arts that he could not get in normal ways. He could see the Nine Divine Sword which is undoubtedly the Nine Swords of Dugu
There is also the Divine Flicking Finger. That must be the divine skill of Huang Yaoshi of the Peach Blossom Island.
He even saw the Liu Mai Shen Jian, the Six Meridian Divine Sword as one of the technique listed on the spinning wheel
How could he not go crazy with desire?
It is like seeing an oasis in the desert and you are parched with thirst and each time you wanted to come closer to the oasis, the oasis went away a step further form you.
This kind of feeling is not pleasant at all.
[ Small Martial Skill Point Pack x 3] [Whetstone x 3] [Small Life Skill Points Pack x 2] [Small Lightness Skill Points Pack x 2]
This is his result of spinning the wheel. He now only has two more spins.
‘Please, get lucky’ he said to himself
He spins the wheel and the looking carefully at where the pointer stops, Li Xian finally smiles.
‘Good’ he thought to himself. The wheel pointer stops at a lightness skill technique.
Now, he didn’t have to buy it in the store.
It is the Striding on Water technique. At least this enable shim to buy more things later now that he saves on buying it from the store
He checks the lightness skill description
Striding on Water
[Calm one's mind to be like placid water and turn yourself into a light wind, flowing with the flow of the world. Then, step on the ripples calmly like a carefree immortal]
[Learning this skill will enable the practitioner to stride across water]
Now he has only one more spin.
Please, get lucky again’ he prayed. And then he thought to himself
Spin’ the wheel spins once again. The wheel spins and spins. Li Xian looked at it with anticipation. Waiting and waiting, then it stopped. And Li Xian widened his eyes
‘Luck. Great luck’ he nearly shouted
The pointer stops at one of the martial arts that Li Xian wanted the most
‘The path to glory is here. I love the system’ he wanted to shout.
The pointer falls to….
…………………
MEANWHILE
On the foot of the mountainous forest of the Black Forest, there is a tavern.
Usually those who would come to Henan and visit the Righteous Temple would stop here to quench their thirst or sate their hunger
The tavern is closed and in a night like this, where would a patron would come? It is far from the city and it is remote.
But the door of the tavern is open.
And there is only one guest siting on the chair on the first floor. The man is an old man sitting on a chair sipping wine from the bowl, with only a candle as his companions.
The wind from the outside sometime blows over and the candle would sway left and right.
This man sighed. he looks old but energetic and his body seems to emanate a certain sense of dread.
This old man possesses thick eyebrows, a huge body that is muscly and firm and a large blade on his back
It is clear that while this man is old, he is not a weak old man. A wanderer of Wulin or maybe a martial artist from a sect or maybe even a gang leader of some criminal enterprise
He takes another sip of wine. He is waiting for someone. The tavern owner knows this person and have dealings with the people backing this old man.
As such, the owner left the task of closing up the tavern to this man with the thick eyebrow.
The night is deepening, but the man he is waiting still did not come. The longer he sits, the more he felt something is wrong
Wang Li, could you failed? Or did you found it and run away with it? You don’t want to share it with your Senior Brother?’
The man with the thick eyebrows rise from his seat, his eyes is sharp and cold
‘I guess if you want things done right, you have to do it yourself. I will wait until morning. If you did not come, don’t blame this senior brother of yours’
He said as he slams his hand on the wooden table.
He got up from his seat and close the door of the tavern. He went to a wooden house not far away from the tavern.
he left the key and then he went to his own house not far away from the tavern.
He went to sleep and gather his energy for the morning. If his junior brother still did not appear before him in the morning, he would go the forest himself
he is not worried that his brother could come down the mountain forest without him noticing. Because he had put certain member of the Broken Sword sect in certain location that could see whoever come down the mountain
Like Li Xian had expected there is always a senior brother that would come to do some trouble. Though his guess is a little bit strayed.
Morning could not come fast enough for the old man. And as for Li Xian on the forest, he would wish the morning come a little bit late.
