Chapter 201: The System's Black Technology and the 'Zhu Xian' Easter Egg (2/3)

"It's Saturday!" Early in the morning, Song Qingfeng plopped his backside down on the sofa and called for a box of instant noodles. "Another day closer to episodes nine and ten of Wind and Cloud!"

It was worth mentioning that *Wind and Cloud* had also updated four episodes on Tuesday, so by now, everyone had already finished watching the first eight episodes.

"Where's the boss?" He looked around and found that Fang Qi was already logged onto his machine.

If one were a gamer—even a master gamer—what was the thing they did most frequently...

Exploring bugs and pioneering new possibilities.

This was the mindset of most people of this caliber, and Fang Qi, having once been a professional gamer...

At this moment, Fang Qi was currently watching episodes seven and eight of *Jade Dynasty*.

Of course, it was not for the first time, but on repeat.

He was currently staying right beside Zhang Xiaofan, just when the plot had reached the point where the Blood-Purging Pearl and the Soul-Absorbing Black Staff blood-refined into the Soul-Slayer.

Right then, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Fang Qi's mind: "Why do I absolutely have to stay right here with Zhang Xiaofan..."

As everyone knew, when it came to watching dramas, the most basic operations were pausing and dragging the progress bar.

More advanced options included setting the picture clarity and other various choices; this thing didn't give out an instruction manual, so Fang Qi didn't know if there were any settings options. He silently muttered a thought in his mind, and unexpectedly...

A settings menu actually appeared before his eyes!

Fang Qi read through them line by line and discovered that within the settings, there were actually advanced function options!

He could actually uncheck the smart camera-follow option!

Which was to say, his existence did not necessarily have to be restricted within the scope of this single camera lens!

Since that was the case, didn't it mean he could go to other places?!

For example, while Xiaofan was practicing his cultivation, he could just run off to the other peaks?!

"Holy crap..." Fang Qi had completely failed to anticipate that the Super Cinema could actually be played with like this?!

The first place Fang Qi sought out was naturally the Illusionary Moon Cave Abode in the back mountain, but before Fang Qi arrived in front of the Illusionary Moon Cave Abode and prepared to enter, he was very quickly pushed out by a force.

"It can even be like this...?" Fang Qi felt a bit depressed; the Illusionary Moon Cave Abode was clearly off-limits. Although this system-version TV drama possessed a somewhat high degree of freedom, it obviously still retained some necessary limitations.

And the limitations were locked down very tightly.

"To think there was this kind of black technology and you didn't even tell me..." Fang Qi felt a burst of disdain toward the system in his heart.

However, at this time he could only consider things from another angle, to see if he could use this revoked option to do something else.

"Go stroll around the other peaks?" Thinking this way, Fang Qi first pressed pause and quickly arrived at Bamboo Peak, only then reopening the playback option.

Looking at Bamboo Peak with its swaying bamboo shadows and murmuring streams, where Bamboo Peak's female disciples in groups of twos and threes either walked toward him or headed off into the distance, Fang Qi widened his eyes, nearly popping them out of his head: "...This... truly is black technology!"

Of course, Fang Qi coming to Bamboo Peak was naturally not for the sake of looking at girls; rather, he had thought of one thing: before the Seven Peaks Tournament, Lu Xueqi had barely managed to learn the Divine Sword Lightning Controlling True Spell!

And right now, the timeline of episodes nine and ten had already reached a period of time before the Seven Peaks Tournament!

Which was to say, her master, Master Shui Yue, was highly likely teaching Lu Xueqi the Divine Sword Lightning Controlling True Spell during this exact period of time!

Regarding this point, if one did not possess a sufficient understanding of the plot, even if they noticed the advanced functions in the system settings, it would be absolutely impossible to think of exactly what time and at what place the Divine Sword Lightning Controlling True Spell was taught!

As had been mentioned previously, every single game was a restored world structured within the game by the system, where even things like the runes and magic in Diablo were restored.

And similarly, the TV drama seemed to be the exact same case!

Fang Qi very quickly arrived upon Bamboo Peak's Moon-Viewing Platform; it could be said that this time, he was watching these few episodes of *Jade Dynasty* from the perspective of the female lead, Lu Xueqi!

Staying in one place was naturally a bit tedious; to avoid missing anything, Fang Qi strolled around the vicinity once more.

The time had already moved from the eighth episode to the ninth episode.

Right at this moment, Fang Qi's eyelids suddenly twitched.

Beneath the moonlight, Fang Qi suddenly saw two figures walking toward him!

One was around thirty years old with an oval face, dressed in a moon-white Daoist robe, elegant and graceful.

By her side there also followed a female disciple, her white clothes like snow, her countenance exceedingly beautiful.

"Could this be..." Fang Qi instantly thought of two people, and at this moment, when the master and disciple ran to this place, Fang Qi's breathing suddenly became somewhat rapid, "Could it be that I guessed right..."

At this moment, Fang Qi truly wished he could rush up and ask a question: Are you two about to pass down the Divine Sword Lightning Controlling True Spell?

However, although the surroundings were incomparably real, fortunately he still knew he was watching a TV drama, and could only watch silently.

"Qi'er, do you know that in our Qingyun Sect, apart from those cultivation methods and sword spells that Master has taught you, there is also a world-shaking supreme skill that controls natural creation with one's body?" The moonlight was like gauze, reflecting upon the cheeks of the two individuals; Fang Qi already understood completely that this posture meant she was about to teach the Divine Sword Lightning Controlling True Spell!

It was very obvious that before the Seven Peaks Tournament, Master Shui Yue was beginning to impart to Lu Xueqi her trump card!

At this moment, Fang Qi only felt: This is too awesome! There's actually a hidden Easter egg!

And it had actually been found by him!

Fang Qi hurriedly glanced at the time: episode nine, thirty minutes and twenty-eight seconds.

In this way, Fang Qi could peacefully and contentedly watch the mental cultivation method and incantation formulas of the Divine Sword Lightning Controlling True Spell!

...

Heavenly Prison Mountain.

Across the gloomy sky, incandescent flashes of lightning streaked from time to time, and the rumbling sound of thunder rolled across the dark, heavy clouds; it was about to rain.

Two figures slowly walked along the mountain path; the one walking in front had hair and a beard that were entirely white, his body slightly carrying a bit of a hunch, while the one behind appeared quite a bit taller in stature.

"Master." Old Fu slowly spoke, "After so many years, even if there were clues, they would have long been washed away..."

Nalan Hongwu shook his head: "Even if there is a mere shred of a clue, it is worth a trip for this old man, and furthermore I feel that I must make this trip, otherwise even if I die and go into the grave, I will not be able to close my eyes in peace..."

"Master, your cultivation is so high, how could it be that easy to die." Old Fu shook his head.

Nalan Hongwu did not answer either, but took a deep breath: "I remember he was buried on this mountain back then, without even an epitaph; it should be a wordless stone tablet."

"Master, up ahead..." Old Fu pointed toward the front; amidst a patch overgrown with weeds, sure enough, one could still faintly see a stone tablet.

A sudden crack of thunder erupted in the sky! Large, heavy drops of rain began to fall!

At the same time, the sharp whistling sound of flying arrows faintly echoed in the air!

The pitch-black flying arrows almost merged completely into one with the surrounding gloomy atmosphere!

"Who dares launch a sneak attack?!" Old Fu gave a sharp shout, his entire body surging with martial qi; the incomparably violent martial qi instantly caused the surrounding soil, shattered stones, and trees to all blast outward!

The flying arrows that came whistling fiercely were struck by this wildly fierce surge of qi, and actually deflected their directions one after another!

Yet right within that lightning-fast instant, a single black arrow bearing a touch of heavy, dark light upon its arrowhead instantly pierced through Old Fu's surge of qi, going straight toward Nalan Hongwu's lower abdomen, right at his Dantian!
