There's Something Wrong With This Account

In front of Lu Xun was a pink crystal stone, so pink it was practically girlish.

The crystal stone was about the size of half a palm, with a pink glow circulating inside.

Lu Xun read the skill description on the wooden tag again carefully and nodded slightly.

“This defense skill is really impressive,” Lu Xun said to himself.

The only thing he found somewhat disappointing was — why did it produce a pink energy shield?

He imagined himself enveloped by a pink shield and felt it was a bit too girly.

He wasn’t sure about the person who created this skill. If it was a woman, it would be easier to understand. If it was a man…well, pink isn’t only for girls, it’s their choice.

The skill was named [Pink Ink], which seemed quite interesting and didn’t quite sound like a defense skill.

The skill level was superior blue level, which was already quite impressive.

Moreover, it was one of those high cost-effective skills. Its defense characteristics were comparable to purple level skills, but the experience points it cost were blue level.

The downside was that it consumed a lot of blue (energy).

For cultivators with insufficient spiritual power, this skill was worthless.

But for Lu Xun, it was like it was custom-made just for him!

His blue was the last thing he would lack!

After considering all aspects, this [Pink Ink] should be the best choice among all skills of the same nature.

Information written on the wooden tag also indicated that the color of the shield produced by this skill would change with the main cultivation method.

For example, if one practiced a fire technique, there would be a faint red in the pink.

If it was a water-based cultivation method, there would be a hint of pale blue in the pink.

Anyway, pink was always included.

“What about mine with five elements full cultivation? Pink mixed with various colors?” Lu Xun was stunned for a moment.

Would it be too gaudy and colorful?

“Won’t it be too ostentatious?” Lu Xun wondered in his heart.

I’m not an artist, why should I make myself so flashy?

But the characteristics and cost-effectiveness of this skill were indeed tempting…

Forget it, just learn it first, it seems to suit Little Chan well. When she reaches the initial realm, I’ll teach her this skill.

In the world of young girls, a pink shield is perfect.

According to the rules of the [Guide] mission reward, maybe there will be experience bonus.

Although the awarded experience points are definitely less than the cost of learning the skill, rounding it up, it’s approximately a freebie!

After some mental preparation, Lu Xun decisively chose [Pink Ink].

He picked up the crystal stone and went downstairs. There was a seal in the crystal stone, and Sima Chuan had to help him unlock it before he could learn.

After going back to the first floor, Sima Chuan took the pink crystal stone from Lu Xun, waved his sleeve, and unlocked the seal through a secret technique.

When he gave the crystal stone to Lu Xun, as soon as Lu Xun’s fingertip touched the pink crystal stone, a prompt appeared in front of him:

[Ding! Do you want to learn?]

Lu Xun decisively chose to learn.

Learning [Pink Ink] cost him 5000 experience points, it wasn’t cheap.

According to the rules, the transmission crystal stone can’t be taken away. Because the moment the seal is unlocked, the cultivation technique in the crystal stone will be transmitted to the learner’s mind. There’s no need to take it away.

Lu Xun closed his eyes for a while, then handed the crystal stone to Sima Chuan, who would seal it again.

Lu Xun didn’t linger on Evergreen Peak. After a brief chat with Sima Chuan, he flew to the back mountain. He was eager to try out this defense skill.

“I want to see what color my shield would be since I practice all five elements!” Lu Xun commanded the paper crane and thought to himself.

Back at the Small Study on the back mountain, Mao Nanbei was lounging in the sun on the big lounge chair by the door, while the Third Disciple was making hot tea for the master.

Lin Chan was probably cultivating the Sword Cultivating Technique inside.

Her sword spirit of Partridge Sky always seemed like “I only have one breath left”. It seemed that if one day she stopped practicing the Sword Cultivating Technique, the sword spirit would instantly die.

But after practicing for so long, it was still hanging by a thread without any noticeable growth.

The master took a sip of hot tea and stared at the teacup without looking at Lu Xun, asking, “Which technique did you choose in the Transmission Tower?”

“Master, I chose [Pink Ink] on the fifth floor,” Lu Xun answered honestly.

“Oh?” The master looked at him, then immediately turned his head away and said, “I created this technique when I was idle many years ago, and I didn’t expect you to choose it.”

This surprised Lu Xun a bit – he hadn’t expected that the master created this skill.

Creating a superior blue-level technique with defense comparable to purple level out of boredom, the master was indeed extraordinary.

Looking at the master’s orchid finger while he was sipping tea, and remembering the pink color of the skill’s shield…it did match the master’s temperament!

He even suspected that when the master created [Pink Ink], the main purpose was probably not the shield.

After all, who had ever seen the master get injured?

His main purpose might have been that pink ring of light…

Perhaps, the master just wanted the feeling of being surrounded by this pink ring of light, and the defense property came along the way.

Lu Xun felt like he discovered the truth.

Seeing that the master had no intention of asking him to have tea, he said, “Then I will go in and cultivate.”

“Go ahead,” the master waved his sleeve.

After returning to his room, Lu Xun sat cross-legged on the bed and spent another 5000 experience points to level up the [Pink Ink] to level one.

With his current amount of experience points, he could still level up [Pink Ink] once more, but he decided to wait.

He wanted to test out the effect of this shield as well as… its color!

Invoking this skill with the spiritual power, a circle after circle of light began to surround Lu Xun.

However, it was not the pink color described in the skill introduction, and it did not show the gaudy and colorful effect he had imagined.

It seemed that the root cause was because he practiced all five elements.

It may also be due to his special constitution, even the color of his Qi Sea was different from others.

Now, after activating the skill, he finally understood why the skill was called [Pink Ink].

People cultivate, pink is inevitably present, but no ink can be seen!

But at this moment, Lu Xun was surrounded by rings of ink-colored aura!

It’s not that he was wrapped in a shield of ink color, but a faint aura of ink was quickly circling around him, as if an invisible brush was continuously painting around him.

The ink aura didn’t appear strong, it looked like a drop of ink had been dropped into water and slowly dispersed in it.

But the ink aura was circulating quite fast, so it looked more like a brush full of ink was quickly painting on the water surface!

Lu Xun, wearing a black robe, got up from the bed and examined the ink shield closely.

“Even without knowing its defense strength, it looks pretty good just in terms of appearance!” Lu Xun thought to himself.

But…others have pink, I have black, something feels off?
