384: Before your master died

Chapter 384: Your Master Before His Death

He's still alive, Lu Ran thought the Old Taoist had kicked the bucket.

Cen Yu Nuo, who was beside him, didn't say anything.

She just looked at the Old Taoist with a serious expression.

She asked, "Master, where are my senior and junior brothers and sisters?"

Upon hearing this.

The Old Taoist's previously relaxed expression immediately turned serious again.

He shook his head and said, "Sending you away back then went against the Heavenly Dao. It's already a blessing that I'm still alive. My senior and junior brothers and sisters couldn't hold on. The fortune of Da Luo Palace has dissipated, and there's nothing that can be done. Now, only this withered old man is left in Da Luo Palace."

After speaking, the Old Taoist sighed deeply.

Lu Ran listened from the side, somewhat stunned.

He looked at the Old Taoist in surprise, then looked around.

So, such a large Taoist temple, and no one is left?

No, only this Old Taoist is left?

However, Lu Ran did get a general idea from their conversation just now.

Back then, Cen Yu Nuo was here, a disciple of this Taoist temple, but due to certain reasons.

Some powerful figures in the Taoist temple jointly sent Cen Yu Nuo away.

As for where she was sent, it was obviously the Datafication World.

However.

She was actually born into the Datafication World in the form of reincarnation.

Like other Professionals, growing up, awakening professions, and so on...

Lu Ran was shocked.

The Datafication World having professions, skills, and monsters had long become commonplace.

But before the Datafication World, such magical Taoist techniques actually existed in this world?

Sending a person to reincarnate?

Moreover.

The Datafication World back then, for their world, should have been another level of dimension!

They could even cross dimensions!

Although Lu Ran still didn't know the purpose of their actions, this act was truly incredible!

After speaking.

The Old Taoist suddenly looked at Lu Ran and said, "Da Luo Palace asks for nothing else, only one thing from you. Is that possible?"

Nonsense.

Could he say no to this?

This was simply moral blackmail!

It put Lu Ran on the spot.

So, Lu Ran hesitated and nodded, saying, "Yes, please tell me. If I can do it, I will definitely do it."

The Old Taoist breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded and said, "Actually, it's very simple..."

He stopped abruptly at this point.

Lu Ran was very patient, waiting and listening.

But after waiting for a while, there was still no movement, and he looked at the Old Taoist in confusion.

Only to find that.

At this moment, the Old Taoist was still lying on the ground, his head tilted towards Lu Ran, but his eyes had lost their luster.

"Master, he's gone," Cen Yu Nuo said with a sorrowful expression.

Damn it!

Honestly, Lu Ran shouldn't have cursed at this moment.

But he really couldn't hold it in.

Of course.

He could only curse in his mind.

This Old Taoist constantly broke Lu Ran's understanding!

Just now, he thought he was dead, but it turned out he was just tired and needed rest.

Now, he asked Lu Ran to agree to something.

Lu Ran, helpless, agreed.

But before he could hear what the Old Taoist wanted to say, the Old Taoist quietly passed away!

His departure was too sudden!

It's too much of a joke!

"This..." Lu Ran looked at the Old Taoist in astonishment, then at Cen Yu Nuo, somewhat at a loss for words.

Cen Yu Nuo, on the other hand, was quite calm.

She said, "Da Luo Palace was destined for this calamity. My master held on for so long, probably just to wait for me to bring you back."

Lu Ran was a bit speechless.

He was brought back.

But he didn't say what he wanted to do, and this Old Taoist was about to speak but suddenly passed away, leaving Lu Ran completely bewildered.

Just at this moment.

Ding!

"You have received a new quest, please check it promptly!"

Hmm?

Lu Ran was startled. There really was a quest!

Was this really a story quest?

So, the old man suddenly passing away didn't affect the quest's issuance?

If that's the case, then there's no need to listen to what the old man said, just check the quest description, right?

Thinking of this.

Lu Ran quickly opened the quest panel.

After the Global Datafication, there was a quest system, and Lu Ran had received quests before.

But quests were generally rare in the Datafication World.

Aside from some public quests, individual story quests were very few.

But it had to be said, if you encountered and received one, the quest rewards were always very generous!

In the quest panel, a new quest had indeed appeared.

"Quest: The Old Taoist Master's Dying Instructions"

"Introduction: The Old Taoist Master, before his death, instructed you to exterminate Buddhism."

"Quest One: Eradicate Great Buddha Temple"

"Reward: SSS+ grade mysterious reward"

Holy cow!

Playing such a big game!

Lu Ran was greatly startled.

This Old Taoist, before his death, instructed me to exterminate Buddhism?

This quest is too grand!

Exterminate the entire Buddhist sect?

Who knows how many Buddhist sects and temples exist in this updated world.

Exterminate all of them?

Is it that ruthless?

However, this quest system also knew that this quest wasn't so easy to complete, so it was divided into a quest chain.

The first quest was to dismantle Great Buddha Temple.

This was easy to handle; the monks killed in the Imperial Capital earlier were from Great Buddha Temple.

Dismantling a temple is very simple; Lu Ran could easily do it alone.

But why aren't the rewards clearly stated?

And...

SSS rewards are one thing, but how did an SSS+ grade reward appear?

What kind of thing is more generous than an SSS grade reward?

What will be rewarded?

Lu Ran, of course, didn't know, after all, these were quests from a new area, and they were triggered by the Old Taoist, whom he had never encountered before.

But with such generous rewards, and the quest being relatively simple for Lu Ran, he was still very satisfied.

This wave, at least this quest was somewhat profitable.

Currently.

The premise is that this SSS+ grade quest reward is indeed useful to Lu Ran.

So far.

Except for equipment, and it must be Saint Artifact level, at least Saint Artifact level equipment is useful.

Other equipment is just trash.

Furthermore, even good equipment needs to have functions that match Lu Ran's abilities.

Aside from that, Lu Ran doesn't need anything else.

He'll see what the quest reward is when the time comes.

"It's a pity, Master didn't get to say what he wanted to tell you before he died," Cen Yu Nuo said regretfully.

"That's alright, because even though your Master didn't finish speaking, the quest was still triggered as usual," Lu Ran comforted her.

Hmm?

Cen Yu Nuo was startled.

She looked at Lu Ran in surprise and said, "This can also trigger a quest? What quest?"

Lu Ran shrugged and said, "It was indeed triggered by your Master. Although he didn't finish speaking, the datafication rules have already triggered the quest, and it cannot be refused; it's passively accepted."

Cen Yu Nuo looked at Lu Ran in surprise.

It seemed that this quest thing was also something she hadn't expected.

Da Luo Palace had just been annexed by the Datafication World; was it integrated into the quest system by the datafication rules so quickly?

After thinking for a moment.

Cen Yu Nuo asked, "Then... what's the quest content?"

Lu Ran truthfully replied, "Your Master, before his death, instructed me to exterminate Buddhism..."
