Outside the Small Study, Shen Yan sized up Lu Xun, while the latter too had also sized up the former.

There weren’t many people who could enter and exit the Small Study freely. In addition to Shen Yan’s unique figure and his rather exquisite ‘mafia boss’ appearance, Lu Xun naturally recognized him with a single glance. 1

Shen Yan might not have many accomplished disciples under him, but after ‘Heavenly Earth’s’ official Open Beta, the moment when the players grew from being outer sect disciples to become inner sect disciples, Shen Yan would become popular all of a sudden.

A large portion of the players were quite fond of his unique character image, he was known as one of ‘the most stingy NPCs to ever have lived’, a rather good example to this was that he would usually give particularly little mission rewards, even with this reputation, there were still a large number of players that followed after him.

“I’m bald, but I’m also stronger!” this was probably the ‘Logger Vick1′, in the legends!

The players’ reverence for him spontaneously rose.

It was said that Shen Yan’s bald head was because of a one-time dangerous qi deviation, and if one followed the prescribed order to cultivate, this sort of phenomenon wouldn’t occur.

However, because some distasteful players also wanted to go bald, they shaved off the hair on their heads.

Later on, a part of the players under Shen Yan’s wing gathered to form a mystical organization—The Bald Head Club.

The Bald Head Club’s core members also needed to shave off their eyebrows to prove their dedication.

The organization’s battle power was formidable. They appeared rather comical while either making you laugh to death or cutting you to death, what was surprising was that they inexplicably became distinguished in ‘Heavenly Earth’.

Of course, everything had happened in the future.

Shen Yan paid obeisance to Lu Xun in the manner of a junior. Lu Xun also returned the obeisance and said, “Respect to Sect Master.”

A sect master’s status inside a sect was naturally special. Although his seniority was one notch lower than Lu Xun’s, his status, on the other hand, was much higher.

That was the reason why Sir’s disciples and Shen Yan often talked in their own way. You call us Uncle-Masters and Aunt-Masters, and we’ll address you as sect master. In this way, everyone paid obeisance to each other.

On the contrary, when the game releases its Open Beta, a bunch of players would become the Demon Sect’s disciples, now that he’s become one of Sir’s direct disciples, all of them would have to call Lu Xun “Little Great Uncle-master”, thinking about it was a little exciting.

“I won’t fight over equipment, missions, and monsters with you guys in this life. I will be at ease being your great forebear!”

After contemplating it once more, he felt that what should be fought over still needed to be fought over.

After all, for them, ‘Heavenly Earth’ was merely a game, however, for Lu Xun, this was the world he’s living in.

Shen Yan looked at Lu Xun and said concernedly, “Has Little Uncle-Master’s injuries recovered?”

“It isn’t a big hindrance anymore, it’s all thanks to the Sect Master’s Spirit Pill.” Lu Xun smiled slightly as he said this.

He noticed that Shen Yan seemed to have business with him, and so he asked, “Is something the matter, Sect Master?”

Shen Yan nodded and responded, “Sir adding another disciple is a happy occasion for the entire Demon Sect. We as juniors naturally need to hold a great ceremony for Little Uncle-Master. The ceremony will be held tomorrow, I’ll come here to notify Little Uncle-Master.”

Lu Xun nodded. This was a conventional process that was understandable.

As one of the most senior members of the entire Demon Sect, he should at least show his face and let the disciples be aware of who he was.

Sure enough, the entire Demon Sect was filled with curiosity about their new Little Uncle-Master.

After all, there were rumors flying around that he looked particularly handsome.

The story of his leap of faith astonished all the disciples, they took him as a man from the heavens.

When Shen Yan saw that Lu Xun’s expression was the same as usual, without any nervousness and fear, he was rather put at ease.

After all, Little Uncle-master was only an ordinary man before entering the sect, unexpectedly, his mentality and bearing were quite good.

However, upon thinking about it once more, he remembered that the man before him even dared to jump off Greeting Peak, what was there to be timid about when holding a grand ceremony in front of all the disciples and having them watch?

At this moment, Shen Yan seemed to have thought of something and immediately paid obeisance to Lu Xun again, he said, “Congratulations Little Uncle-Master for setting foot in cultivation.”

The First layer of Qi Devouring Formula, this was the precise factor for setting foot in cultivation.

Lu Xun smiled back in return, thinking ‘Why aren’t you leaving yet you stewed egg? I’m really hungry right now.’

His strength at the first layer of Qi Devouring Formula was naturally visible to others, however, once he tried to examine Shen Yan’s detailed information, everything apart from his name was ‘???’.

Since the stewed egg in front of him was an elite of the eighth tier, his level was in the eighties. Those people whose level was in the eighties were ridiculously strong!

Before Lu Xun transmigrated, the game’s levels were only available up to level sixty.

On the other side of the conversation, the reason why Shen Yan felt a sliver of surprise was that Lu Xun’s cultivation speed was a little fast.

To actually cultivate to the first layer of Qi Devouring Formula overnight wasn’t something that rare, some blessed geniuses would have only needed two hours.

The path of cultivation was more difficult the farther one got, but to set foot in it wasn’t all that difficult.

According to what he knew, Lu Xun’s aptitude was unusually poor, the worst kind even amongst the outer sect disciples. Even with such aptitude, he still managed to have this kind of cultivation speed, this somewhat surprised Shen Yan.

‘Could it be that there’s still some residual spiritual power left in my Spirit Pill? Could the Little Uncle-Master perhaps have absorbed it?’ Shen Yan conjectured.

When he thought about how Lu Xun was a disciple that Sir chose, then no matter how miraculous it was, all of it could be understood now. The conditions that Sir formulated for accepting his disciples were so strange, there was definitely something in Sir’s consideration regarding this.

After Lu Xun found out about matters related to the grand ceremony, he appeared to be a little absent-minded.

The reason was quite simple. He actually received a mission!

‘Ding! Triggered the Sect’s prestige value mission, Accept or Not?’

Lu Xun looked at the mission’s details. It only said that his seniority was high in the Demon Sect, and to establish the reputation of an elder, he had to raise his ‘prestige value’ to two thousand points.

He took note of this so-called prestige value last night. His current prestige value at the Demon Sect was nine hundred points.

It wasn’t that high, but it also wasn’t that low either.

The reason why he had 900 points to this value was because there were too many rumors about him circulating in the sect recently. The other reason was that everyone respected Sir, and because he was Sir’s disciple, they naturally respected him too.

In other words, these nine hundred points of prestige value, in all actuality, over half of it was the blessing of his own identity and status, it didn’t personally have much to do with him.

This mission’s difficulty was actually quite high, however, the mission’s rewards were also plentiful. If he completed this, then he would receive an entire ten thousand points of experience value as well as a special attribute point!

According to reason, this prestige value mission wasn’t something that could be triggered in the early stage of the game. Most players had to become inner sect disciples before being able to trigger this type of mission.

He could now see that his stride was a little large…

When players become inner sect disciples, then obviously, their levels weren’t low anymore. This meant that ten thousand points of experience value wasn’t much. However, this mission’s greatest reward was mainly the special attribute point he would receive!

This thing was extremely precious, normal missions didn’t grant many of it. One would require to trigger hidden missions or top missions that were especially difficult just to obtain it.

However, for the current Lu Xun, these two rewards were both good things!

Most importantly, grinding for prestige value in the game required the player to follow the prescribed order of doing sect missions non-stop. It was especially troublesome to do and needed to be accumulated over a long period of time.

Regarding this 900 points of prestige value he currently had, normal players might not even be able to get it even if they ran their legs off for it.

Not to mention, now that he had transmigrated, on top of his special identity, the room for manipulation behind the scenes seemed much greater.

For normal players to increase prestige value, they would have to assiduously work like an ox for the Demon Sect, this would allow everyone to see their great efforts. High-end players would normally choose to crazily show off in the sect, letting everyone know how kick-ass they are.

In just a short moment, Lu Xun had already formed a simple plan in his mind.

Just when his thoughts were diverging, Shen Yan, the stewed egg, forcibly pulled him back to reality.

He saw that Lu Xun had become distracted, which is why he asked, “Does Little Uncle-Master have any misgivings?”

Lu Xun dismissively waved his hand in a hurry.

The details of the following conversation had once again focused on the grand ceremony. Shen Yan talked about the process regarding it while Lu Xun frequently nodded, he seemed to have no objections.

After everything was nailed down, Shen Yan then took his leave.

Lu Xun stroked his empty belly and took a deep breath, “Finally! I can go and make something to eat.”

Of course, before foraging for food, he didn’t forget to accept the mission.

‘Ding! Mission successfully received, current mission progress: prestige value 900/2000.’
