C15 Famous in the Azure Sect

The Magic Cube had a fixed pattern. One did not need to know the specific principles behind it. All they needed to do was memorize the formula. After spending an entire afternoon with Xue Xiaoling, the sky outside gradually darkened. Lu Chen hid in his room alone and took out a bag of Void Shards from under his pillow.

The reason why Xue Xiaoling helped him exchange the gold coins into Darkstone was not only because the Darkstone was small and easy to carry, but more importantly, the Darkstone was formed by the convergence of the divine energy of heaven and earth. The arcane could be used to assist in cultivation and increase the speed of cultivation.

Lu Chen even suspected that the Darkstone could be used to recharge his exchange system.

Because he had already confirmed that the spiritual thing inside the herb could be devoured by the system and converted into energy points.

At that time, Lu Chen suspected that since the spiritual thing could be absorbed and converted, the spiritual energy, as the most common spiritual thing in the world, should also be devoured by the system.

With a perturbed heart, Lu Chen took out a Darkstone from the bag and held it in his hand. Then, he opened the exchange system in the Mindscape.

Sure enough, a notification appeared on the upper right corner of the system page!

[Detected that the energy source can be recharged. Do you want to devour it?]

[Do you?]

[Fuck, I can really recharge it!]

Lu Chen was extremely excited and clicked yes without hesitation.

An enormous devouring force rushed out from the system page, continuously devouring the spiritual energy of the Darkstone in his palm.

The crystal-like Darkstone was quickly consumed. After about fifteen minutes, the spiritual energy within the Darkstone had been completely devoured, turning into a crystal-like powder that fell to the ground.

Looking at the 56 energy points displayed on the system's screen, Lu Chen's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he was incomparably shocked.

Excluding the original 6 energy points, the spiritual energy from devouring one Darkstone had increased by 50 points.

According to the conversion rate, he had a total of 93 Darkstones in his possession. If he devoured all of them, he would be able to exchange for 4650 energy points.

"I've struck it rich! I've struck it rich! This time, I've struck it rich!"

Lu Chen was extremely excited. According to his research over the past few days, the first level Regeneration Pellets in the system should be able to be sold for 15 to 20 gold coins on the market.

According to the lowest price, 15 gold coins would be exchanged for 1.5 Darkstones. If he devoured 1.5 Darkstones, he would be able to obtain 75 energy points. And 75 energy points could be exchanged for 25 first level Regeneration Pellets.

Lu Chen still remembered that a great thinker on Earth once said,

If there is 10% profit, the capital will ensure that it will be used everywhere.

If there is 20% profit, the capital will be active.

If there is 50% profit, the capital will take risks.

If there is 100% profit, the capital will dare to trample on the laws of the human world.

With more than 300% profit, he dared to commit any crime, even the risk of being hanged.

But now, it seemed that his pill exchange system could actually rely on the exchange of pills to create dozens of times the profit. It was simply unbelievable.

After feeling excited for a while, he thought of something, but Lu Chen was discouraged.

Because from the current situation, there was a very scary restriction in the system. The exchange count could only be used three times at most, and it was also used a cooldown bar mechanism. The exchange count could only be used once every three days.

According to this situation, no matter how many energy points there were, it would be useless to exchange for pills.

Damn it! Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I have so many energy points now, let's see the effects of the first level Marrow Cleansing Pill first.

With more energy points, Lu Chen did not mind wasting a few points. He controlled his consciousness and opened the details of the first level Marrow Cleansing Pills. After browsing through it, he couldn't help but frown.

As he expected, this first level Marrow Cleansing Pill was indeed a type of low-level pill. One pill could only increase the talent of an arcane cultivator by 1%.

Furthermore, this pill had a limit on the number of pills one could take. If one took too many pills, he would become resistant to them. One person could only take ten pills at most, which meant that he could only increase his talent by about 10%.

It had been a few days since the last exchange, and the exchange count for the pills had already recovered once.

Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still exchanged for a first level Marrow Cleansing Pill. He planned to try out the effects of this pill.

However, the result made him very depressed. After swallowing the first level Marrow Cleansing Pill, other than feeling a little hot in the first two or three minutes, there was no other abnormal feeling. His cultivation did not increase at all.

Just as he was wondering if he had exchanged for a fake medicine, his stomach suddenly started to growl, and he felt a faint pain in his stomach.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart!

"Damn it, could this Marrow Cleansing Pill have the effect of an aphrodisiac?"

...

On the third day of the bet between Xue Xiaoling and Yan Qingmeng, there were even more people selling the Magic Cube, and the price had dropped to three or four silver coins each. Almost everyone in the entire Azure Sect could afford it.

Just like that, without any warning, within a short two to three days, the small Wisdom Cube had spread throughout the entire Azure Sect. Almost all of the six thousand disciples in the sect had one.

In the sect, people who played with the Magic Cube could be seen everywhere. Some of them even stayed up all night to solve the rules of the Magic Cube.

Yan Qingmeng was one of the craziest ones among them.

Although she looked gentle and quiet on the outside, her heart was extremely arrogant. She came from a famous family and had outstanding talent. She had always been outstanding since she was young.

In addition, she had always been praised by the public, which gradually made her arrogant. It was fine when she was in a good situation, but once she encountered a bad situation, she would unconsciously burst out with a strong desire to excel.

Ever since she was young, she had always had a strong sense of superiority in terms of intelligence. She thought that even if she was not the smartest person in the world, she should still be the smartest person in the world.

In terms of cultivation and intelligence, she should not have met any opponents in this small border town of the Azure Sect or even Zriftol. She should have been able to ride away from everyone else.

However, she was now stumped by a small Magic Cube.

She had been studying the Magic Cube that Xue Xiaoling had brought with her for the past three days and two nights. In the end, she had only managed to deduce the second layer of the Magic Cube's recovery method. The last layer of the Magic Cube had only just begun.

According to this rate of progress, it was almost impossible for her to completely deduce the Magic Cube's recovery method before tomorrow morning.

The most infuriating thing was that Xue Xiaoling, that little girl, would come to her place every day to check on her progress. She would even say some infuriating words to attack her.

This afternoon, she came again. She even brought a messed up Magic Cube with her and swung it around in front of her. Then, she turned around and used two to three minutes to twist the Magic Cube back together.

Yan Qingmeng was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She felt that if she did not have a good temper, she would have beaten this little girl up to the point that she would cry for her father and mother.

Yan Qingmeng was not the only one in the Azure Sect who had been working hard to crack the Magic Cube. However, the crazy actions of these people had a great deal to do with Yan Qingmeng.

The male disciples wanted to crack the Magic Cube to gain Yan Qingmeng's attention, hoping to win her favor.

The female disciples wanted to crack the Magic Cube to steal Yan Qingmeng's limelight. Even if they knew that they could not compare to her in terms of looks, they still wanted to surpass her in terms of IQ and become famous in the Azure Sect.

Of course, not everyone had such a utilitarian mindset.

There were also quite a few people who were purely fans of the Magic Cube. There were also quite a few people who followed the crowd and joined in when they saw that everyone was playing.

In any case, the entire Azure Sect was going crazy. Everyone was playing the Magic Cube, including many of the flamen and arcane cultivators. They all joined in and started to study the rules of the Magic Cube.

Lu Chen had never expected such a situation, but he was not too worried.

In any case, from the beginning to the end, he had only been a servant who worked as a servant disciple.

Xue Xiaoling was the big boss on the surface. All of the sales of the Magic Cube were hers. Similarly, only she knew the method to restore the Magic Cube.

Therefore, no matter who came to ask questions or ask for help, Lu Chen would not answer. He would push all the blame to Xue Xiaoling.

In any case, Xue Xiaoling was responsible for taking the blame. This was something that they had discussed from the beginning. Otherwise, Lu Chen would not be willing to split the profits with this little girl.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the third night of the month. The new month had already begun, and Lu Chen's chores had already been done for two days. He had officially entered the formality.

It had to be said that his chores were really relaxing. He was only responsible for patrolling the Azure Peak at night. His work time was in the latter half of the night, and he was responsible for patrolling the area with Lee Qi's cousin, Lee Zongyuan.

Patrolling the night was actually nothing much. It was just a slow walk around the Azure Peak.

In the latter half of the night, it was Lu Chen and Lee Zongyuan's turn to patrol the area. The two of them parted ways. Lee Zongyuan was responsible for patrolling the Azure Peak, while Lu Chen was responsible for patrolling the surrounding area of the Azure Peak.

Lu Chen was still not used to the day and night cycle. He was still holding a Lamp of Shadows and yawning as he wandered around the vicinity of the Azure Peak.

As he walked, his body suddenly turned cold, and his hair stood on end. The sound of a wind was suddenly heard from behind him. This sudden situation made Lu Chen's heart jump, and he subconsciously wanted to shout and dodge.

However, it was too late!

A black shadow appeared behind him in the blink of an eye. It held a wooden stick in its hand and knocked it hard.

Bang!

Lu Chen felt a pain in his head, and the feeling of spinning in the air was like a surging tide. It made him instantly fall into a coma.

...

In a pitch-black room in the back kitchen of the Azure Sect's No. 1 cafeteria.

"Hiss... Aiyo..."

Lu Chen, who was unconscious, felt as if someone had kicked him again. The pain was so intense that he woke up from his coma.

"Where... is this?"

Feeling the pain in the back of his head, Lu Chen grimaced in pain. Just as he was about to reach out to touch it, he was shocked to find that he was actually tied to a pillar by a rope.
