Cat Southnorth obviously didn’t know that Lu Xun had already learned ‘Qi Devouring Formula.’
She only saw that after Lu Xun touched it once, he didn’t touch it again. It was also weird since his expression didn’t have too much reluctance either, this made her unable to understand what was going on.
“You’re not going to touch it anymore?”
Such with this being the case, she now put her attention on Ji Li. Since her mood wasn’t bad today, she would occasionally clarify and dispel doubts for her, and then give pointers regarding her cultivation.
Ji Li’s cultivation speed wasn’t slow—she had a perception of ‘8’, it truly wasn’t a joke. She probably wouldn’t take long before she reaches the first layer of the Qi Devouring Formula, after doing so, she would then have officially set foot in the world of cultivators.
However, those like Lu Xun with the perception of ‘1’, even if they followed the prescribed order to cultivate, their progress would still be very slow.
As mentioned previously, the level of the character in the game was linked to cultivation techniques— a level up in one’s cultivation technique meant a level up in the level of the character. Of course, if the character leveled up, the cultivation technique too would also level up.
The character in the game could also rely on cultivating normally to obtain experience value, and when the experience value was full, the cultivation technique could be leveled up. The higher the perception, the more experience value one would receive when cultivating.
For instance, since his current perception was 1, then after cultivating once, he could receive x points of experience. If his perception was 5, he could receive 5 times x points of experience instead.
Of course, players liked to depend more on doing missions and other various means in order to obtain experience points, this was especially at the early stage when leveling up was fast enough.
Like the current Lu Xun, if he depended on cultivation by using the normal meditation, he would need to spend a large amount of time. Previously, he killed a Mountain Ghost and received 666 experience points, because of this, so long as he wished, he could immediately upgrade to the first layer of Qi Devouring Formula.
However, he didn’t plan on doing this. After all, an outstanding man must learn to endure—being too fast wasn’t a good thing at all.
This is a point you guys must learn too.
Originally, the ‘perfect start’ he chose had a standard, it meant that one must be a level 0 alt in order for it to work, and if he leveled up, then it would be hard for him to execute his plans.
He only had to bear with it a little longer, now wasn’t the time yet to jet-off.
By the time Ji Li circulated it on her own by a Heavenly Cycle, Mu Rongyan’s fat face revealed a genuine smile. The lolita also nodded imperceptibly, while saying, “Not bad, just worse than me by a tiny bit.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Li was beside herself with joy.
However, once she remembered that Lu Xun didn’t have a cultivation technique for now, she restrained her joy, it was so she could avoid affecting Lu Xun’s mood.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xun was the one who smiled at her first, giving her a glance of encouragement.
He was obviously indifferent to this seeing as he had already learned the ‘Qi Devouring Formula’, the only thing was, he just hadn’t started cultivating it yet.
A genius cultivator couldn’t rival a damn cheat.
Time passed by quickly. On the way to the sect, Ji Li basically cultivated the entire time while Lu Xun, on the other hand, had just simply emptied his mind.
Two days’ time soon passed, and they were nearing the Demon Sect. Cat Southnorth said to Mu Rongyan who was by their side on a sword kinesis flight, “Mu Rongyan, explain to them the rules of the Demon Sect.”
“Yes, Little Great Aunt-Master.”
The reason why the lolita didn’t bother to explain it herself was because… well… she didn’t know what the exact rules were enacted in the sect.
Only when she was being chased by the Law-enforcing Elder did she know that she had broken the rules.
Someone like her—if not for her ridiculously high seniority within the sect—would already have been punished to the point that they would wish they were dead.
In reality, there were very few restrictions in the Demon Sect as compared to the others, plus, there were also far fewer. However, she owned such skills and temperament, she would casually violate one or two rules every few days. Perhaps this was also a type of talent.
As it turns out, no matter which world, there were always mischievous brats and all of them lacked education.
Mu Rongyan, the fat lady, seemed more simple and honest compared to the former, she knew every single rule implemented from the sect by heart. After she finished explaining everything to the both of them, she also asked them with a very considerate tone, “Do you understand it all? If not, I can explain it again.”
Look! Just look at this! Not the least bit evil in any manner, she was an extremely kind and caring fat older sister!
How embarrassing for the Demon Sect!
This made Lu Xun—the Dirty Dog—feel more strongly that the Demon Sect needed a talented person like himself!
Lu Xun didn’t ask questions, but expectedly, Ji Li, on the other hand, asked a few boneheaded ones. Her cultivation aptitude was indeed not bad, but her brain was truly stupid.
Originally, after explaining the rules, there was nothing else to talk about, however, Cat Southnorth wanted to take Lu Xun as a mount, this is why she couldn’t help but say a few more words to improve the kick-ass ability of her sect.
“The Demon Sect is mainly divided into three areas. They are respectively the outer sect where new disciples operate, next it would be the various great peaks where Mu Rongyan, the inner sect disciples, the sect master, the elders, and attendants operate, the last one is a bit of a special place called the Rear Mountain’s Small Study.”
It was very hard to imagine that the most secretive and high grade place in the sect of one who practiced the Heretical Dao had such a fresh name, one would definitely say that the name itself smelled of scrolls.
The lolita continued, “The Small Study is where I, several other Senior Brothers, my Senior Sister, and Sir live.”
“The reason why I’m telling you this is because you will be this lord’s mount in the future, once it happens, occasionally, there’ll be a chance for you to come sit at the Small Study.”
“On a normal day, no matter if they are inner sect disciples or attendants, hell, even normal elders can’t enter as they please.” As she spoke, her cat ears moved slightly and contentedly, clearly satisfied in intentionally acting pretentious in front of Lu Xun.
Instead, Ji Li was quite shocked upon hearing this. The Demon Sect actually had a Small Study and a… Sir?
She, who was a fool, couldn’t help but ask out loud, “After going to the Demon Sect… I still have to read?”
Once he heard these words come out, Lu Xun couldn’t help but laugh in amusement.
Cat Southnorth was already ready to laugh at the smallest things, thus, she too laughed till her stomach hurt. She covered her small belly button and said, “Hahahaha! Sir is our master. He just likes it more when others call him Sir.”
Ji Li’s small round face blushed slightly, being awfully embarrassed.
In reality, even Cat Southnorth—Sir’s smallest disciple—didn’t know why their Sir liked it when others called him this.
However, Lu Xun actually knew a little about it.
In ‘Heavenly Earth’, quite a few side stories opened in the late-stage. Players gradually discovered some secrets in the lands of Heavenly Earth, although it had the hint of being part of the unofficial history and was considered a rumor, it had more or less some credibility.
According to these rumors, the reason why Sir favored this appellation was because he had a twin brother, sadly, their mother died when she gave birth to them.
Due to some special reasons, the two of them didn’t know who was born first and couldn’t figure out who was the older brother and who was the younger brother.
After all, even for twins, an older brother and younger brother needed to be distinguished.
The funny part was that the both of them wanted to be the older brother…
Therefore, the single word, ‘Sir’ was especially to his liking.
And since he had already lived too long, long enough that not many people remembered his real name, no matter whether it was people inside or outside the Demon Sect, they were already accustomed to calling him ‘Sir’.
Lu Xun had already played ‘Heavenly Earth’ for many years, and even until before he transmigrated, he had never seen this Sir fight.
On the game’s forums, there were countless posts that conjectured his strength. He was also known as one of the most mysterious person in the entire lands of Heavenly Earth.
Those who liked to bet and swindle especially liked to use Sir to deceive others. For example, there were people who would initiate a post like this, “If Sir isn’t the ultimate Boss, I’ll live stream eating sh*t upside down! Then eat more sh*t, sh*t and eat more!”
As for how strong Sir actually was, there was no one who really knew as no one had the fortune to witness him fight.
It was to the point that not many players have even come in contact with him. After all, his secrecy was all there was, it made people conjecture that he was undoubtedly one of the ultimate NPCs in the game.
Even with so many players in ‘Heavenly Earth’, one player had the fortune to coincidentally be accepted as Sir’s disciple not long after the game’s alpha testing.
It was the absolute treatment of a protagonist, he was the child of the dimension!
However, sadly, he didn’t spread much information related to Sir.
It was because this ‘lucky guy’ had a terrible body to begin with and played the game too excessively… the result was…
…He died from cardiac arrest.
