Chapter 1031 - 630: Glittering Gold, the Changes of the Guiding Star Skill (2)

Lu Lin watched Qin Xue leave, thinking to himself, in this day and age, are all martial artists this straightforward?

They would rather not trade than say another word to him.

But.

Lu Lin chuckled. Since this Glittering Gold in his hand is useful to young strong individuals like Lin Yaowu and Qin Xue, things become simple. Next, he could sweep all of the Glittering Gold in Guang Monan World. If these people want to buy, they will have to come to Lu Lin for it.

"Guide."

"Help me find the nearest Glittering Gold."

With a command from Lu Lin, a golden arrow appeared in front of him.

"So close?"

Lu Lin took three steps back, then used Earth Control to stir the soil two meters below.

Sure enough, a piece of Glittering Gold, 20% larger than the one in his hand, was overturned.

After a dazzling light flashed, Lu Lin grabbed it. The broken knife couldn’t contain its excitement, leaning in close to the Glittering Gold before it impassively returned to Lu Lin’s hand.

Even with Lu Lin’s sharp eyes, he couldn’t see any change in the Glittering Gold, but the broken knife wouldn’t do something pointless.

It must have absorbed an unknown amount of benefits from the Glittering Gold.

Since the broken knife benefits, and it can still be sold for money, Lu Lin was thrilled.

In the next half-year, he wandered through various regions of Mo Nan World.

Mountains, rivers, deep valleys, oceans, deserts...

Apart from these natural environments, he also witnessed many Human civilizations from those years in Mo Nan World, like diverse buildings and tools, which opened Lu Lin’s eyes.

These things were mentioned in the books he read before, but without seeing the real objects, Lu Lin could only imagine what they truly were.

During this half-year, he also met many young people similar to Lin Yaowu and Qin Xue. Some were silent, some quite talkative, others had a cold demeanor, but they all had one thing in common—when speaking with Lu Lin, they all had an air of superiority.

On the surface, these people seemed amiable enough, even if they coveted the Glittering Gold in Lu Lin’s hand, they didn’t show hostility or act excessively.

But from their conversation, Lu Lin sensed that regardless of their personality, they all treated him with an attitude of superiority as if they had already determined Lu Lin’s identity as a scavenger.

However, Lu Lin knew there was a difference between him and the scavengers.

Scavengers are a group of professionals who explore treasures in various declining, decaying Main Worlds or Great Worlds, driven by profit, often causing chaos upon finding treasures.

These scavengers’ cultivation typically doesn’t reach Gang Member Level; the highest is merely a Star Emperor.

Dealing with a strong individual of Gang Member Level might be challenging for Lu Lin, but handling an ordinary Star Emperor is as easy as a knife through butter.

After many kills, the scavenger group in Mo Nan World all knew of a lone wanderer named Lu Lin.

Upon seeing Lu Lin from a distance, most scavengers would avoid him, and if they couldn’t, they’d just smile and greet him, avoiding much interaction.

Yet Lu Lin persisted, believing he was definitely not a scavenger.

Because scavengers rely on books and luck to find treasures in the world.

But Lu Lin, he knew exactly where the treasures were and would just go collect them.

In Mo Nan World, many treasures were worth searching for, with the Shape-shifting Thousand-masks Grass being one of the rarer ones, as it was too difficult to find, and many scavengers wouldn’t aim to find it.

Additionally, there were other crystal stones, metals, medicinal materials, which were considered valuable in flourishing Main Worlds, but none compared to Glittering Gold.

Glittering Gold is an essential material for strong individuals’ cultivation in Main Worlds, and it’s a tradable currency in virtually all mainstream worlds and factions.

Typically, one jin of Glittering Gold can be exchanged for Ten Thousand Gold.

Ten Thousand Gold is a currency unit used by ordinary people in the Main World.

The first piece of Glittering Gold Lu Lin acquired weighed about three jin. At the time, Qin Xue offered him Thirty Thousand Gold, which wasn’t too low, but...

The value of Glittering Gold for cultivation is much higher than that of Ten Thousand Gold. Many people want to exchange gold for Glittering Gold, but few want to exchange Glittering Gold for gold, and if they do, there’s usually a premium, starting at at least 50%, sometimes even double.

This Qin Xue said Lin Yaowu bullied Lu Lin, but wasn’t she doing the same?

As for Lin Yaowu, offering Thirty Gold for three jin of Glittering Gold, how could he even say that?

"Find all the Glittering Gold."

Lu Lin issued another command.

Since last time when searching for the Shape-shifting Thousand-masks Grass, Lu Lin discovered changes in the Guiding Star Skill, enabling him to search by single, partial, or entire finds.

That’s just one aspect; the Guiding Star Skill even supports more search methods, such as when Lu Lin specifies he wants to find something furry, the Guiding Star Skill also responds.

After numerous attempts, Lu Lin felt this Guiding Star Skill became something familiar to him.

Search engine.

However, the changes in function also have certain limitations.

Firstly, the location must be accessible to Lu Lin.

If it’s in a Secret Realm, dangerous place, or protected by a Formation, the Guiding Star Skill automatically blocks them and doesn’t provide guiding options.

Secondly, the item sought must be related to Lu Lin.

For instance, something Lu Lin has seen, used, or heard of—only items meeting these criteria can be searched.

Like with Glittering Gold before, Lu Lin didn’t know what it was, so he could only set conditions to search, making the search efficiency very low compared to directly searching for Glittering Gold.

Finally, it’s about Lu Lin’s search method.

He must determine the search method beforehand: random search, fuzzy search, precise search.

The more keywords he provides, the better he can find what he needs.

Now, Lu Lin was using the new precise range search feature of the Guiding Star Skill.

Soon, golden arrows appeared in front of him, and after memorizing them quickly, Lu Lin couldn’t help but sigh when the golden arrows stopped increasing.

In Mo Nan World, there are at least more than a thousand pieces of Glittering Gold left. It seems retrieving all the Glittering Gold is really a long-term task, and comrades still need to keep working hard.

Then, let’s start the search.

Since Lu Lin couldn’t return to Longyuan World with his own ability, he might as well gather more here before going back.

He also wondered what the reaction would be on General Mountain’s upper and lower levels after his departure, whether indifferent or actively searching.

Lu Lin didn’t know, nor did he want to speculate, lest he feels troubled by gains and losses.

Another half-year passed.

It had been over a year since Lu Lin arrived in Mo Nan World, and he felt he could finally stop his search.

Ninety-nine percent of the unclaimed Glittering Gold in the whole world was now in his possession.

In total, there were about over fifteen thousand pieces, weighing an estimated nearly a hundred thousand kilograms.

Though the amount didn’t seem like much, if he sold all the Glittering Gold, he’d likely become a wealthy man in the Main World, one who wouldn’t worry about livelihood for several hundreds or thousands of years.

This was still because Mo Nan World had been in decay for too long. Before Lu Lin, countless people had already explored it. If a new Main World were to decay, Lu Lin might have really struck it rich.

In his continuous searching, Lu Lin also had a bit of doubt.

Wasn’t a Main World’s lifespan said to be nearly limitless? Why are there such abandoned Main Worlds?

Over the past year, he met many scavengers and asked about the origins, but none knew, saying only that countless abandoned Main Worlds exist in the universe.

That’s curious.

Main Worlds, with virtually no lifespan limit, in this universe had never been heard of breaking down.

Where did these abandoned Main Worlds come from, then?
