Chapter 23 4-Star Fashion
Chapter 23 4-Star Fashion
Since Lu Chaoding is already LV1 with zero experience points, he's not afraid of losing experience points by falling to his death.
He continued practicing flying on his sword.
After activating [Sword Flight], his iron sword became like a flying skateboard, with flight speed and altitude entirely controlled by his mind. At first, Lu Chao stood on the sword, then crouched, sat, lay down, rode on it...
He discovered that lying prone while riding the sword was the safest option, as it offered a good view of the ground and was also secure.
Lying down and riding are secondary options. Lying down doesn't offer good visibility and can easily lead to accidents. Riding, while it may look a bit uncomfortable on the thighs, is actually quite comfortable and is most suitable for beginners.
In addition, flying on a sword has a certain physical inertia. Although it is not as obvious as on Earth, it can still be clearly felt when accelerating, decelerating, or turning sharply. In such situations, it is particularly easy to "flip the sword".
Therefore, from a safety perspective, Lu Chaoding decided to become a sword-riding immortal first, using his flying sword as a mount and riding it close to the ground.
After playing for a while, Lu Chaoding opened the talent skill tree page again to check.
"Of the seven talents, apart from flying on a sword, the other six can all be considered passive skills. The Master of Escape is quite interesting; it allows you to disengage from combat at any time, which means you can escape at any time. If you have the resources, you should prioritize unlocking the Master of Escape talent. The Master of Flight and the Master of Breaking Through the Void are rather ordinary..."
Lu Chaoding silently calculated that in order to fully unleash his talent, he would need 45 Sword Immortal certificates, plus 45 cultivation points.
Cultivation level is easy to deal with. Lu Chaoding still has more than 60 bottles of Peiyuan Pills. He can just mindlessly gulp them down and his cultivation level will be there. The key is that it's the certificate of a sword immortal!
Lu Chaoding now only has one certificate of becoming a sword immortal left.
He figured this thing was rare and probably difficult to collect.
"Never mind, let's ignore the talent skills for now."
Lu Chao closed the talent skill page and took out two fist-sized round fruits from his storage space.
[Kiwi Fruit: Special item, three-star item. Consuming it gives a certain chance to grant a random permanent buff. Explore for details.]
"This is good stuff too!"
Lu Chaoding didn't stand on ceremony and immediately showed off a kiwi. It was bright red, looked a lot like a tomato, had a texture like rice cake, but tasted like an apple. Lu Chaoding thought it was quite delicious. After eating one, he immediately received a system notification: "Ding, congratulations, your battle spirit limit has been permanently increased by 2 points!"
"Hey, not bad!"
Lu Chao was overjoyed. His battle intent limit had increased to 7 points. He quickly ate the second [Kiwi Fruit].
"Ding! Congratulations! Your speed has been permanently increased by 5 points!"
"Not bad, not bad..."
Lu Chao savored the taste of the kiwifruit, thinking to himself that two were too few. He wished he could get ten or eight tons of them and eat them every day.
After a brief sigh, Lu Chao took out 50 unreliable lottery tickets and began to examine them one by one.
Soon, Lu Chao's face showed an expression of toothache.
He was holding a dubious lottery ticket in his hand.
[Unreliable Lottery Ticket: After use, you can participate in one lottery draw at the Destiny Platform. This ticket randomly generates the winning probability and ignores any pity systems or other lottery mechanisms. Random Effect: Guaranteed to yield a 3-star Sword Saint Skill!]
"I'm a sword immortal, you know. Giving me sword saint-level combat techniques is just too unreliable."
Lu Chao tossed the lottery ticket aside and continued to look at other unreliable lottery tickets. Soon his expression froze again as he found one that guaranteed a two-star Sword Demon exclusive back piece.
"Are other players' lottery tickets guaranteed to give them items specific to their class?"
Lu Chaoding sighed again at how unreliable the lottery tickets were. After looking through the remaining few unreliable lottery tickets, he concluded that there was nothing particularly special about them.
Next, Lu Chaoding went to draw a prize. He immediately drew 50 times in a row, throwing all 50 unreliable lottery tickets into the air.
hum...
A sound like the gentle chiming of bells rang out, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and fifty rays of light pierced through the air. Among those fifty rays of light, in addition to the green light and the blue light that Lu Chaoding had predicted, there was also a purple light.
"A four-star item has been released!"
Lu Chaoding was greatly encouraged.
Purple light corresponds to the appearance of four-star items. Under normal circumstances, the probability of drawing a four-star item is extremely low. There is a pity system during the beginner village period, and you are guaranteed to get a purple item after 1,000 draws. That is, you need to do 1,000 draws to reliably get a four-star item.
Lu Chao used an unreliable lottery ticket to participate in the lottery, which had no guarantee of success, and he actually drew a four-star item. He felt that he was incredibly lucky.
"Don't let it turn into something else entirely!"
Lu Chaoding hurriedly stepped forward to examine the four-star item. After breaking the purple light sphere, four large characters appeared in front of him: "Divine Insight".

What appeared in front of Lu Chao was a set of ancient-style robes.
Without saying a word, Lu Chaoding directly replaced his two-star [Marshal Pig] with this four-star outfit.
Instantly, Lu Chaoding transformed himself, donning a brocade robe primarily in shades of gray and white, adorned with cloud patterns and white crane embroidery. His belt was made of sea-blue jade, and he wore a light, snow-white cloak and cloth boots with the texture of metal combat boots.
Lu Chao flicked his sleeves, looked at his cloth boots, and shook the snow-white cloak behind him, marveling at how incredibly ethereal he must look right now.
"Not bad, not bad. This outfit can increase battle spirit by two points, and it gives you four points of battle spirit upon entering battle, which is exactly what I need... Can a four-star outfit be refined nine times? That's incredibly strong growth potential."
Lu Chao was very happy.
He ate the [Kiwi Fruit], which permanently increased his Battle Spirit cap by two points. Now, wearing this [Divine Insight] set, his Battle Spirit cap has reached 9 points. With just one more point, he can use the [Great Mighty Dragon].
Lu Chaoding then checked the other items. The white items were mostly food like compressed biscuits and low-level materials, which were not worth mentioning. The three-star sword saint battle skill he obtained was [Sacred Heart Technique], the same one that Gu Xiaoxiao had drawn before.
The exclusive back item for the two-star Sword Demon is the [Black Pot].
[Black Pot: A two-star Sword Demon exclusive back accessory. Increases HP by 200, Resilience by 2, and Defense by 2. When equipped, it makes it easier to gain enemy aggro and increases cultivation gain from killing enemies by 20%. Currently at +0 refinement, with no additional attributes. It can be refined a maximum of three times, but please note that once refined, the back accessory will be bound and cannot be traded.]
"The Sword Demon taking the blame? That's interesting."
Lu Chaoding wondered if he should show some team spirit and give the black pot, the Sacred Heart Manual, the general combat skill book, and the old Pig Marshal costume to Zhao Weike and the others.
Little did he know that at this very moment, Zhao Weike and his group had already arrived at Lion Cliff.
"With all the materials gathered, the chance of surviving the fall and entering the Linglang Cave increases to 40%. Gentlemen, the time has come to test our luck!"
Zhao Weike shouted.
Zhang Defa raised his hand and asked, "Zhao Weike, what treasures are inside the Linlang Cave? Did you go inside during the closed beta?"
"Although I haven't been inside, I know others have. Don't worry, the Linglang Cave is a secret realm of opportunity, and the treasures inside are of extremely high quality. First come, first served, so don't miss out! Sigh, only a selfless philanthropist like me would share such valuable information with you for free. We've got a deal, so if you get the treasures, you'd better remember my kindness, at least send me a small red envelope as a token! Enough with the chit-chat, let's decide the order of jumping off the cliff by playing rock-paper-scissors..."
Before Zhao Weike could finish speaking, Zhang Defa jumped off the cliff first.
