Unlimited Investment in the Destined Protagonist: Forging an Eternal Immortal Clan - Chapter 15

Chapter 15: The New Destiny Protagonist Template, Sword Genius Lu Jianchen, Purple Investment!

After annihilating the three major families of Beiyuan County, Lu Qingxuan had been staying in Ling Xiyue’s room for several days.

At this moment, Lu Qingxuan finally stepped out of Ling Xiyue’s room, intending to return to his own room to cultivate properly. However, as he passed by a spiritual peak, a familiar system voice sounded.

[Ding! A purple investment clansman has been detected; the host can initiate an investment!]

“Hmm, a purple investment!?” Lu Qingxuan was slightly delighted, and with a flash of his figure, he headed toward the location guided by the system.

In the Lu Royal Mansion, atop a spiritual peak, a young man with sharp sword-like brows and starry eyes was practicing swordsmanship, holding a spiritual sword in his hand. Sword qi raged freely, and the sound of sword resonance echoed through the air. However, the spiritual sword in the young man’s hand was a broken one, with only a portion remaining below the hilt.

Though this sword was damaged, its displayed power was not weak in the slightest. With casual swings, the young man could unleash sharp, unmatched sword qi, terrifyingly powerful.

“Not bad, not bad! I never would’ve thought this broken sword could possess such terrifying might! For such a powerful broken sword to be treated as scrap metal by that bandit—how utterly foolish! This time, it’s my gain!” The young man stopped his movements, looking at the broken sword in his hand, a trace of excitement and thrill appearing on his face.

The young man’s name was Lu Jianchen, a minor swordsmanship genius from a collateral branch of the Lu Royal Mansion. He had originally been cultivating in the Heavenly Sword Sect, but not long ago, after offending a true disciple with powerful backing, he was forced to leave the sect and return to the family’s Lu Royal Mansion.

Just a few days ago, he had taken on a family mission to exterminate a group of bandits. After wiping out the bandits, he found this broken sword in the storage pouch of the bandit leader.

Lu Jianchen had initially thought it was just an ordinary damaged spiritual sword. But after some inspection, he was astonished to discover that this broken sword could absorb the spirituality of other magical treasures.

This discovery left Lu Jianchen utterly shocked.

Immediately, he took out some unused treasures from his possession and fed them to the broken sword. It wasn’t until today that he came here to test the broken sword’s power.

Yet the power it unleashed just now was no less than that of a high-tier Earth-rank spiritual sword, even comparable to some ordinary Heaven-rank spiritual swords.

How could this not make him happy and excited?

“Could it be that my luck has finally turned, letting me pick up such a bargain!” Lu Jianchen stroked the broken sword in his hand, finding it more and more pleasing to the eye.

He could hardly imagine how terrifying this broken sword might become if it absorbed enough spirituality from magical treasures.

By then, this broken sword might even unleash the terrifying might of a King-rank treasure, or perhaps even an Emperor-rank treasure! He eagerly anticipated that day.

However, the thought that he no longer had any treasures to feed it made Lu Jianchen slightly furrow his brow. Where could he go to get more treasures?

Just as Lu Jianchen was frowning in thought, a figure clad in purple robes suddenly landed in front of him.

The newcomer was none other than Lu Qingxuan.

Seeing this, Lu Jianchen was slightly surprised and immediately bowed, saying, “Jianchen greets the Lord.”

Lu Qingxuan nodded slightly, then activated his Eye of True Sight to examine the other.

[Name: Lu Jianchen]

[Cultivation: Foundation, Third Layer]

[Aptitude: Genius]

[Comprehension: Supreme]

[Talent: Innate Sword Heart (Flawed)]

[Fortune: While recently completing a bandit extermination mission, he obtained a broken high-tier Holy Sword. As long as it devours enough spirituality from magical treasures, it can inherit a portion of the Holy Sword’s Saintly Dao legacy!]

Seeing Lu Jianchen’s fortune, Lu Qingxuan inwardly exclaimed, “Good heavens!” It seemed the family’s power of providence was finally showing its effect. To gain such an opportunity just by exterminating bandits—this was practically the embodiment of immense luck!

It seemed this Lu Jianchen was indeed a protagonist template!

[Ding! Invest three high-tier Earth-rank treasures to receive two random Heaven-rank techniques and two random Heaven-rank martial skills!]

[Ding! Invest one low-tier Heaven-rank treasure to receive three random Heaven-rank treasures!]

[Ding! Invest one Sword Dao Crystal to receive 100,000 top-grade spirit stones and one mid-tier Heaven-rank spiritual vein!]

Seeing such generous investment returns, Lu Qingxuan’s eyes lit up.

He first sensed the lingering terrifying sword qi in the surroundings, then glanced at the broken sword in Lu Jianchen’s hand before speaking.

“I see a troubled look on your face. Have you encountered some difficulty?”

Hearing this, Lu Jianchen lowered his head, his eyes darting slightly, not immediately answering Lu Qingxuan’s question.

After a moment of silence, Lu Jianchen decided to test the waters and expressed his need for a few high-tier treasures, rephrasing it carefully. Of course, he didn’t mention that his need for treasures was related to the broken sword in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingxuan didn’t hesitate much. He took out three Earth-rank treasures and one low-tier Heaven-rank treasure from his belongings and handed them to Lu Jianchen.

“These are three Earth-rank treasures and one Heaven-rank treasure I’ve collected. Take them!” Then he took out a Sword Dao Crystal. “This is a Sword Dao Crystal I obtained earlier. Take it as well and study it. See if it can help you comprehend the Intent of the Sword. I hope your swordsmanship can advance further and bring glory to our Lu Royal Mansion!”

Seeing the Lord hand over so many treasures without much hesitation, Lu Jianchen’s face was filled with disbelief. He had only asked tentatively, never expecting the Lord to not only give him treasures but also a rare Sword Dao Crystal.

At this moment, Lu Jianchen felt it was almost unreal.

Seeing Lu Jianchen’s shocked expression, Lu Qingxuan teased, “What, is it too little!?”

Lu Jianchen immediately shook his head like a rattling drum, quickly explaining, “It’s just …  the Lord has given so much that Jianchen was momentarily overwhelmed!”

Lu Qingxuan smiled and said, “Take them. Though our Lu Royal Mansion can’t compare to the Heavenly Sword Sect, there’s no scheming or infighting among our family. These things are my personal gift to you! Since the Heavenly Sword Sect failed to recognize a gem, acted unreasonably, and selfishly took your treasure, I hope one day you’ll return to the Heavenly Sword Sect yourself and reclaim what rightfully belongs to you. Prove to everyone in the Heavenly Sword Sect with your strength that losing you, a swordsmanship genius, was the most foolish decision they ever made!”

Lu Qingxuan had heard some rumors about why Lu Jianchen suddenly left the sect and returned to the Lu Royal Mansion. It was because, while on a sect mission, Lu Jianchen had obtained a special exotic treasure, but it was discovered by a true disciple.

That true disciple, backed by an elder, shamelessly forced Lu Jianchen to hand over the treasure. With no backing of his own, Lu Jianchen, unwilling to be maliciously suppressed, reluctantly gave up the treasure.

After witnessing this, Lu Jianchen felt the sect was selfish and unjust, and in a fit of anger, he left the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Hearing Lu Qingxuan’s words, Lu Jianchen felt a warmth in his heart. Without further hesitation, he reached out to accept the treasures before him, saying respectfully, “Thank you, Lord, for your generosity!”

Immediately after, he vowed, “In the future, Jianchen will definitely return to the Heavenly Sword Sect. I’ll make them see that I’m no less than any of their true disciples, and I’ll take back what’s mine with my own hands!”

Lu Qingxuan nodded slightly, reaching out with his right hand to pat Lu Jianchen’s shoulder. “Cultivate well. I look forward to the day you shine brilliantly on the path of the sword and become a Supreme Sword Saint!”

With that, Lu Qingxuan turned into a divine rainbow and vanished.

Watching Lu Qingxuan’s departing figure, the words “Sword Saint” still echoed in Lu Jianchen’s ears.

At that moment, it was as if he had found a firm path in his heart. He murmured, “Lord, rest assured, Jianchen will not let your expectations down!”

[Ding! Investment successful. Congratulations, host, for obtaining three random Heaven-rank treasures, two random Heaven-rank techniques, two random Heaven-rank martial skills, one mid-tier Heaven-rank spiritual vein, and 100,000 top-grade spirit stones!]

[Ding! Randomly generated Heaven-rank treasures: Obtained high-tier Heaven-rank treasure: Fuyao Heavenly Phoenix Zither; high-tier Heaven-rank treasures: Haoyin Cold Soul Mountain, Xuanyang Dragon Flame Ring!]

[Ding! Randomly generated Heaven-rank techniques: Obtained high-tier Heaven-rank technique: Heavenly Gang Overlord Physique Art; high-tier Heaven-rank technique: Purple Yang Heavenly Method!]

[Ding! Randomly generated Heaven-rank martial skills: Obtained high-tier Heaven-rank martial skill: Taiyan Void-Shattering Finger; high-tier Heaven-rank martial skill: Cloud Dragon Single Horizon!]

Lu Qingxuan, now far away, nodded in satisfaction as he saw the array of high-level techniques and skills.

With these techniques and skills, he could bolster the foundation of the Lu Royal Mansion.

Immediately, he placed the treasures, techniques, and skills into different pavilions.

Then, he implanted the mid-tier spiritual vein beneath the entire Sky-Supporting Island. In an instant, the spiritual energy density of the entire Lu Royal Mansion rose by several levels.

After finishing this task, Lu Qingxuan returned to his room and began cultivating.
