As for the Second Senior Sister not looking like an adorable girl as he had imagined, Lu Xun expressed a little regret from the bottom of his heart.

On the contrary, her chilling demeanor had instead given off the feel of a domineering older sister, however, it seemed a bit incompatible with the adorable name ‘Gu Xiaoman’.

1Even with these thoughts in mind, he had to accept the possibility that this Senior Sister might be a kick-ass character who killed players to the point that they would cry for their mothers in the late stage of the game.

Lu Xun looked at the ‘Qi Devouring Formula’ in his hands once more and felt touched on the inside. After all, this greeting gift was certainly useful for a person who had just set foot in the cultivation world, however, sadly for him… it truly wasn’t that useful.

He only needed to accumulate the needed experience value to level up all the way. This book, the ‘Qi Devouring Formula’, which was filled with annotations, was rather better suited for Ji Li.

However, he had to take in the fact that this book that was given to him was his Second Senior Sister’s good intention after all. Lu Xun didn’t have the face to go up to her and exchange it for another greeting gift… although he truly wanted to exchange it deep inside.

…But, he had the shamelessness to seek Cat Southnorth for something.

Second Senior Sister had given him something, as a Senior Sister too, shouldn’t you also give me something?

Cat Southnorth finally felt unsettled from his obvious staring, she ultimately clenched her teeth and threw him a storage ring.

‘Received a storage ring (Yellow-grade), Equip or Not? After equipping, Inventory Space + 30.’

The storage ring that Lu Xun just received could actually be used to save some troubles everyday.

“Here! It’s not that Senior Sister is stingy, but it’s that your cultivation is still too low. An enchanted armament is more suitable for you. Using a spiritual armament now would be too much of a burden, so just use this first,” Cat Southnorth said.

She indeed spoke the truth. Equipment in ‘Heavenly Earth’ didn’t have a level restriction, however, if your level isn’t adequate enough, you wouldn’t be able to expound its powers even if you equipped it, the item would then be useless in your hands.

Ji Li calmly stood on the side and watched their exchange. To say that she wasn’t envious would definitely be a lie, but she could easily say that her happiness outweighed her envy for Lu Xun.

Originally, she was extremely worried that Lu Xun’s poor aptitude would cause him to be bullied after they came to the Demon Sect. Now, it seemed like she didn’t need to worry about this matter at all.

Second Senior Sister didn’t seem to want to chat anymore. She then waved her hand, signaling that everyone could leave.

On the way back, Lu Xun kept on thinking, ‘Second Senior Sister really doesn’t like to talk.’

Specifically speaking, she didn’t say a single word at all—how truly strange…

Could she possibly be a mute?

Upon having received two greeting gifts tonight, he was still very happy and couldn’t help but show a smile on his face.

Lu Xun turned to glance at Ji Li, due to the faint light of the fireflies, he discovered that she was smiling more happily than himself.

After seeing her simple-minded look, Lu Xun extended his finger and flicked her head for no reason.

1“Why’d you flick me?” Ji Li covered her forehead, her eyes awfully wide open.

“This Little Great Uncle-Master can flick as he pleases. Where do all these ‘whys’ come from?” Lu Xun said.

2He definitely wouldn’t have said, “Seeing as you look like a pushover who’s easy to pick on, picking on you definitely became a little addicting, that’s why I couldn’t help but pick on you a little bit more.”

1As a result of the words he just said, his forehead was also flicked. Cat Southnorth was the one who did it.

“Then, this Senior Sister flicking you shouldn’t be any problem, right?” Cat Southnorth cheerfully stuck out for Ji Li, she had the small expression of ‘I’m the female boss’ written all over her face.

Lu Xun was speechless. He imagined in his mind that sometime in the future, when his cultivation finally dramatically grew, he would then restrain Cat Southnorth on his knees, rub her head and cat ears with his left hand and fiercely slap her small buttocks with his right hand!

2However, it was precisely due to this brief interlude that everyone was talking and laughing joyfully on the way back.

The ever-tranquil Rear Mountain had an increase in liveliness, even the surrounding fireflies that were fluttering in the breeze flew more vigorously.





After walking to the Small Study, Ji Li had a distracted look on her face.

She finally came to realize something at this moment, “Why did I come back here?”

Her mission was to take care of Lu Xun, and now that Lu Xun was awake, her mission was completed.

The Small Study was the place of residence for Sir and the other Great Uncle-Masters and Great Aunt-Masters. Was a guest room supposed to be opened for her?

She certainly still harbored the tiniest bit of the last sliver of evil intentions for Lu Xun, however, she really just didn’t have the guts to act upon it at all. If she was given the choice to stay another night at Lu Xun’s room, she was definitely willing, but it would really have to depend on whether or not Lu Xun was going to invite her.

Lu Xun looked at her and couldn’t help but put a smile on his face. He didn’t feel like teasing her at this moment anymore, he then asked Cat Southnorth, “Fourth Senior Sister, this ‘Qi Devouring Formula’ booklet that Second Senior Sister gave me as a present, can I lend it to Ji Li so she could learn?”

Cat Southnorth indifferently waved her hand and responded, “Second Senior Sister gifted it to you, so it’s yours, you can make the arrangements yourself.”

With that said, she entered the room first, who knew whether she craved sleep or planned to cultivate.

It was Ji Li instead who was rather distracted after hearing this.

If you thought about it normally, any normal person who received this kind of gift, even if they were willing to lend it to someone else, wouldn’t they first learn it themselves? However, Lu Xun thought of her immediately, this made her feel a certain kind of warmth that rose from the bottom of her heart.

Naturally, she didn’t know that this booklet was of little value to Lu Xun. If it wasn’t Second Senior Sister’s gift, he would’ve probably taken it to the outer sect and auctioned it off…

After all things considered, he still had to pretend along the way, or else, if it was found out that he hadn’t even read ‘Qi Devouring Formula’ once, he wouldn’t be able to explain how he learned it. It seemed like he had to force himself to read it.

“Come in,” Lu Xun said this to Ji Li as he entered the room.

Ji Li actually followed in simple-mindedly.

It was already late at night, since Ji Li didn’t know how to project kinesis flight, having her walk the mountain roads again would be too exhausting.

After entering the room, Lu Xun had her cultivate on her own first while he put on an act of reading ‘Qi Devouring Formula’ booklet.

Honestly speaking, because this was a game he was previously playing, and now that he had really transmigrated, he was still quite curious about learning cultivation techniques.

According to reason, cultivation techniques should be cryptic and difficult to understand at first glance, but once he read it, it turned out to be smooth-sailing and easy, it was as if he’d already known the contents thoroughly.

This had to be said too, upon looking at Second Senior Sister’s handwriting again, apart from being thin, it was truly pretty.

After reading everything, he handed the booklet to Ji Li.

“You’re not going to read it over a few more times? There’s no need to give it to me in a hurry.” Ji Li hastily rejected it.

In her eyes, she knew that Lu Xun’s aptitude wasn’t so good. This booklet would be an absolute treasure to him, that was why he should take it out from time to time to refer to it while cultivating.

“There’s no need,” After Lu Xun said this, he didn’t forget to add, “Your brain’s so stupid, but mine is different. I have an eidetic memory.”

Ji Li naturally didn’t believe this, which is why Lu Xun continued, “Ask me whatever you want, see for yourself if I truly remember.”

In the end, she asked a few questions regarding a few points within the book, which in turn, Lu Xun answered correctly.

She obviously didn’t know that the game’s system had already recorded all the content within ‘Qi Devouring Formula’ into the ‘list of cultivation techniques’, this included Second Senior Sister’s annotations. He only needed to tap ‘details’ to see everything that entailed.

‘A… awesome!’ Ji Li thought.

And then, Lu Xun stared blankly at the series of numbers that appeared by Ji Li’s side, ‘Favorability +1… +1… +1…’

He couldn’t help but exclaim this inwardly, ‘This naive little girl’s favorability is way too easy to raise.’

It couldn’t be helped at all. He truly looked handsome and was especially dazzling when he showed off.

Now that he read the book, he could actually justifiably level up. He only had to tap ‘level up’ lightly, and then he would be able to reach the first layer of Qi Devouring Formula.

But before doing this, he actually wanted to try out what cultivating on his own would feel like.

When he previously read online novels, he could recall that after the male protagonists officially set foot in cultivation, each and every one of them would cleanse their veins and cut their bones, completely eliminating all the filth in their bodies. After this process was done, they would then become tall, handsome, strong, and smart—even the cultivation process was described as somewhat especially pleasurable. After cultivating, they were apt to feel quite comfortable from head to toe, and would breathe out impurities.

It seemed to look pretty good.

Then… knock one out?1
