In addition to Level, this Task also Rewarded a Big Roulette Lottery. However, it's unclear what this Big Roulette Lottery actually is and what it can draw. This is the first time Reward has offered a lottery.
Seeing that the Old Man had already left and there were no outsiders around, Ling Mo Xie eagerly chose to claim the Reward.
A vibration seemed to come from the void, and Ling Mo Xie could see countless lights gathering from all directions, slowly intertwining before his eyes. In no time, it transformed into a glowing circular roulette.
"Uh... this is a bit exaggerated, isn't it? It looks like a Spiritual Treasure is about to emerge. I wonder if others can see this phenomenon. If it attracts unwanted attention, that would be bad; after all, this is Wen Dao City, and there are quite a few notable figures here," Ling Mo Xie muttered in complaint.
At that moment, the roulette formed by the light slowly descended in front of Ling Mo Xie. He could see that the roulette was divided into seven sections, with a pointer in the center. Each of the seven sections contained various items—some books, some swords, and some things that were hard to identify—without any descriptions.
At this time, the System explained that as long as he placed his hand on the center of the roulette, the pointer would start spinning. When he removed his hand, the pointer would stop, and whatever it pointed to would be what Ling Mo Xie received as a Reward.
Ling Mo Xie felt somewhat speechless; it felt a bit like the Big Roulette on street corners in his past life, where one usually didn't win anything good.
However, since the System's offerings were free, he figured he might as well take advantage of this opportunity.
Thus, Ling Mo Xie placed his hand on it. The pointer on the roulette immediately began to spin wildly; even someone with his level of cultivation couldn't track its trajectory.
After a while, Ling Mo Xie stopped paying attention to where the pointer was going. It was all based on luck anyway. Moreover, he had no idea what those Rewards were or whether they were good or bad. So he simply let go of his hand; whatever it pointed at would be fine. After all, it was still a Reward, and things given by the System shouldn't be too bad.
As soon as Ling Mo Xie released his hand, the pointer gradually came to a stop, pointing at something resembling a Compass within the roulette.
"Clang!" The Compass fell at Ling Mo Xie's feet while everything else and the roulette transformed back into countless lights and vanished.
Ling Mo Xie stared blankly at this scene for a moment before coming to his senses. He bent down to pick up the Compass, which appeared very ancient and heavy in his hand—much like those compasses used by fortune-tellers in his past life.
Fortunately, after using his Detection Skill several times, he successfully revealed the properties of the Compass.
Heaven and Earth Seeking Path Compass (Fragment): Purple Quality, Required Level: 100.
Function: This Compass harnesses the energy of heaven and earth. With this Compass, one can locate spiritual lands, treasure sites, and various treasures between heaven and earth.
Ling Mo Xie tapped his head; isn't this the work of a feng shui master? He decided to toss the backpack aside for now, as he might need it later.
Although this was one of the few Purple Quality items Ling Mo Xie currently possessed, it was neither an offensive treasure nor a defensive one, and it had no supportive function. It was just a high-quality item, so Ling Mo Xie did not place much importance on it.
After completing the main Task of Historical Truth, the subsequent main Tasks were also revealed.
Historical Truth: Finding Mother: Now that you know your origins, you are determined to trace your parents' whereabouts. However, since your father's trail is hard to find, you decide to start with finding your mother.
Task Reward: Level up by three levels, skill: Thunder God's Eye, one Big Roulette Lottery.
Failure penalty: Cultivation sealed for one hundred years.
"Damn it!" Ling Mo Xie couldn't help but curse upon seeing this Task. This was clearly a Task given by him; how could they say it was my determination to find my parents? This is imposing thoughts on me!
Fine, let’s find her. After all, since I’ve taken over this kid's body, doing something for him isn’t out of the question. But could the Reward be less of a scam? Another Big Roulette, it's practically useless. That Thunder God's Eye sounds impressive, but I wonder how powerful it really is.
Just as Ling Mo Xie was cursing the System for being a scam, a flash of fire suddenly appeared before him, and Hong Chi materialized in front of him.
"What happened?" Seeing Hong Chi's panicked expression, Ling Mo Xie frowned and realized something was wrong. He asked Hong Chi.
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's question, Hong Chi lowered his head, his eyes flickering as he stammered without speaking.
Ling Mo Xie was all too familiar with Hong Chi's expression. A long time ago, when he got into trouble at school, he had looked just like this in front of his mother.
Thinking of this, Ling Mo Xie’s expression softened a bit. He sat down and said to Hong Chi: "Go on, what trouble did you get into? We have to solve it, right?"
"Boss, we should run! I've offended someone." Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Hong Chi agreed in his heart but raised his head to tell Ling Mo Xie that they should flee.
Ling Mo Xie was taken aback for a moment, then with a wry smile on his face, he said, "Who did you provoke? You can't possibly beat them, right? Otherwise, with your temperament, you wouldn't just run away; you would have fought them this morning."
Xiao Chi shyly turned his head, his tone a bit angry as he said, "This time it wasn't my fault! He provoked me first. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many of them, I would have taught him a good lesson already."
Ling Mo Xie furrowed his brows and said, "What exactly happened? Explain it in detail. This Listening Wind Tower should be the safest place for now. If we run out, it might be less safe than staying here."
"Alright!" Xiao Chi nodded and pouted as he said, "I went out looking for food, and I saw a pastry shop called Tianxiang Pavilion on the street. I went in and bought their most famous signature pastry, the Dreamy Glazed Cake. Who knew it was a limited supply item? I bought the last one."
"Well, that's nothing. How did you get into trouble again?" Ling Mo Xie asked with some confusion after hearing Xiao Chi's explanation.
Xiao Chi stuck out his tongue and said angrily, "I hadn't even eaten it yet when a spoiled rich kid came in with an ugly woman by his side. As soon as that woman saw the pastry in my hand, she cheered and told that rich kid that she wanted a Dreamy Glazed Cake too."
"You can guess what happened next. Once they found out I had the last piece, that spoiled rich kid arrogantly tossed me a bag of spirit stones and claimed he had bought the pastry from me! Hmph! With such arrogance, who would willingly give it to him? Besides, he wanted to snatch something right from my hands that I hadn't even tasted yet. Of course, I refused to give it to them."
Once Xiao Chi started complaining, he couldn't stop. He had a special obsession with food.
Moreover, the arrogant attitude of that spoiled rich kid must have provoked him as well. Before awakening his Fire Spirit Body, Xiao Chi was just an ordinary child from the lower class and naturally couldn't stand those Young Masters' condescending attitudes.
"A bloodbath triggered by a piece of pastry!" Ling Mo Xie sighed helplessly, hoping that the rich kid's family wasn't too powerful and wouldn't dare to come after them at Listening Wind Tower. Otherwise, with just himself and Xiao Chi, they might not be able to contend with someone who had the home advantage.
At this moment, Xiao Chi continued to speak excitedly: "You know what? That Dreamy Glazed Cake was really delicious! No wonder they only supply a hundred pieces daily; people come from miles away to eat it. Especially when that woman saw me eating the cake and went crazy—it was really funny..."
"Alright, enough already! I get it; you're such a foodie!" Ling Mo Xie patted Xiao Chi on the head and said helplessly.
Only then did Xiao Chi realize he had gotten too excited while talking about food when he was actually in trouble. He stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.
Suddenly, Ling Mo Xie felt the surrounding formation tremble as a group of people appeared before him.
Ling Mo Xie looked towards the group; several of them were wearing Listening Wind Tower uniforms and were trying to persuade the leading young man in splendid attire who had barged in. Beside him stood an alluring woman with her hands on her hips glaring fiercely at Xiao Chi while sweetly saying to the young man, "Long Ge, you must help me get back at him!"
"Dragon... still daring to intrude into the Listening to the Wind Pavilion..." Ling Mo Xie muttered to himself, glancing at Hong Chi. Could you not make things so difficult for your boss? I just figured out a few local tyrants in Wen Dao City, and you bring one right in front of me? And it's the most powerful one!
Hong Chi looked at Ling Mo Xie with confusion, puzzled by his expression.
Ling Mo Xie sighed; it was useless to say anything now. He could only find a way to resolve the situation.
At this moment, the Noble Young Master indeed appeared arrogant, glancing at Ling Mo Xie and saying, "Is this kid from your family? Hmph! So young yet so ungrateful. I'll teach him a good lesson!"
With that, he waved his hand, and several people who looked like Guards approached to apprehend Hong Chi.
These Guards were all at the Separation Period realm, and together, they would only leave Hong Chi with the option to flee.
Ling Mo Xie frowned and immediately unleashed several skills toward the Guards. Seeing Ling Mo Xie take action, Hong Chi also waved his hand, unleashing the Three Flavors True Fire, severely injuring one of the Guards.
"My people are not for you to discipline," Ling Mo Xie said coldly. Although he knew this young man with the surname Long dared to intrude into the Listening to the Wind Pavilion, he was likely a member of the Long Family in this city. Still, Ling Mo Xie took action; after all, he couldn't hand over Hong Chi. It was better to resist than to bow down!
"Hmph! I see you are also ungrateful. No wonder you raised such a child. I know you just arrived in Wen Dao City today; it seems you still don't understand the situation here. I'll give you a free lesson! So that some people won't know their place and think this is their little hometown!"
After saying this, he sneered and turned to a burly man beside him, saying, "Mighty Bull, go teach him a lesson!"
Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Mo Xie: "This is one of my subordinates with low cultivation; let me show you just how insignificant and useless you are!"
