Chapter 1090 - 448: The True Wenquxing (Part 2)

Chapter 1090: Chapter 448: The True Wenquxing (Part 2)

He then picked up another book and continued the same operation.

By the time he finished flipping through the last book, less than five minutes had passed—not even half of the time it took him to buy the books.

He tossed the last book back into the box, thinking everyone had it hard, and since the money he spent was easy come, easy go, he decided not to return these books for a refund.

He looked at Duan Rui and said:

"Reading also has its technique, this is my unique skill, Quantum Speed Reading, using feelings and instincts to process the words and knowledge your eyes see. There’s a chance, Brother Duan, you might want to try it."

"I shall set out to explore the Immortal Mansion now, I’ll take my leave."

Duan Rui was full of question marks, it was like he was ahead of the era by a millennium, squeezing out an expression like the old man on the subway with a cell phone.

No way, man, are you taking me for a fool?

Under normal circumstances, if he encountered such a situation, Duan Rui would certainly brush his sleeves and leave, cursing that some rotten wood cannot be carved.

But Wu Chang seemed to have an extraordinary demeanor, his cultivation realm unfathomably deep, certainly higher than his. Such a great cultivator wouldn’t make such a huge effort just to play a prank on him.

Curious in his heart, he said:

"Since it’s your first time exploring Megrez Immortal Mansion, would you like me to lead you there?"

Wu Chang blinked, secretly thinking he had encountered a warm-hearted person and said, "Then I’ll trouble Brother Duan."

Entering Megrez Immortal Mansion, there was no conventional door.

The information provided by Lü Changgeng mentioned the method of entering the Immortal Mansion: firstly, take a boat into the heart of the lake, then empty your mind, falling into a meditation state.

Similar to the process of entering Kaiyang Immortal Mansion, entering Megrez Immortal Mansion is in itself the first test.

The first test of Megrez Immortal Mansion is named Heart Pass.

The so-called Heart Pass means that those entering the Immortal Mansion must recognize their true hearts, have clear thoughts, and a pursuit of the Dao. The purpose of entering the Immortal Mansion must be pure, for the fulfillment of one’s own quest.

This point was not difficult for Wu Chang.

Whether he has a heart for the Dao is hard to say, but he has nearly three hundred points of will, his resolve is so firm that even if he wants to eat a barbecue tonight, it is stronger than others’ pursuit of the Dao.

In a daze, Wu Chang felt his body sinking, with the wooden boat submerging into the water surface.

Coming to, he found the wooden boat still floating on the river, but the reflections in the lake aligned with the normal seasons, surrounding Wu Chang were the scenes of spring, summer, autumn, and winter simultaneously appearing.

He had completed the Heart Pass and entered the Megrez Immortal Mansion.

"You have completed the first trial of Megrez Immortal Palace and gained a layer of Megrez Fortune."

"You have acquired Kaiyang Fortune, different fortunes cannot be stacked, the fortune effect with the highest value takes effect."

Seeing the prompt in front of him, Wu Chang couldn’t help but click his tongue; he initially thought of gaining fortunes through both his real self and true self, then exploiting a bug to use them simultaneously.

This way, not only would he gain double attribute boosts, he would also increase his resistance to Demon Qi to 150%. Exceeding 100%, who knows, he might be unaffected in the Demon Realm, gaining half the bonus.

Unfortunately, the World Dungeon didn’t leave this bug.

The boat didn’t need to move, it reached the shore with the water waves and stopped in front of the spring forest.

Following the guidance of the forest path, Wu Chang and Duan Rui arrived at the second pass.

According to the information the Human Dao Alliance gave about the Megrez Immortal Mansion, the second pass is the Courage Pass.

Literary Courage is needed, Literary Courage is the aura supporting a scholar’s article’s spirit and ideological core, it can also be understood as the adherence to one’s own Dao.

Similar to the Brave Pass of Kaiyang Immortal Mansion, the testing method of Courage Pass is also through Immortal Technique to create illusion mirrors.

It’s just that the Courage Pass of Megrez Immortal Mansion is more thorough, Wu Chang didn’t even feel what the illusion mirror was before completing the Courage Pass.

However, it can be explained. Even the illusion mirror created by Immortal Technique couldn’t break Wu Chang’s Will Barrier, which sufficiently demonstrates his courage.

He walked early out of the spring forest, stopping at the spring-summer junction, waiting for Duan Rui to complete the test.

Considering that someone kindly wanted to be his guide when he was unfamiliar with the place, yet he disdained the other’s slow test completion, it would be somewhat inappropriate to leave him behind uncared for.

He waited for half an incense stick’s time before seeing Duan Rui walk out of the forest emotionally excited, seemingly still immersed in the Courage Pass test, unable to exit the status.

The spring breeze cooled Duan Rui’s status, but upon seeing Wu Chang, he instantly cooled, waking up immediately.

This reckless man who couldn’t even read a book better than him passed the Courage Pass first and remained so composed, unaffected by the Courage Pass at all.

This is the true Literary Courage, because with firm belief in his heart, unaffected by external matters, no matter what he experiences, he remains unperturbed by honor or disgrace.

Duan Rui transformed instantly from excitement to shame, indeed he misjudged, the burly man before him was the true scholar with backbone.

Duan Rui, enlightened, followed behind Wu Chang into the mountainous area of summer.

Megrez, besides being the Wenquxing that governs the Literary Fortune of the world, also represents the lucky star.

Planning lies with man, success lies with heaven; luck is the key factor for great accomplishments.

Thus, the third pass of Megrez Immortal Mansion is Luck Pass.

The testing method is very simple, it’s about perceiving luck. Upon entering the mountains, one encounters multiple forks and chooses based on intuition.

The ability to pass through the mountains and enter the fourth trial indicates there is luck present, allowing the next step to be taken.

If one returns to the spring forest of the second pass after going in circles, it means the luck this time is insufficient. Please try again in one week.

Wu Chang scoffs at such discrimination against the unlucky ones. They are already unlucky enough, yet here they are being discriminated against.

This is on a Dungeon Plane in the World; if it were the real world, excluding the non-African players like this would warrant a racial discrimination warning.
