Mao Nanbei naturally didn’t know that Lu Xun had already learned the Qi Consumption Technique.

She saw that Lu Xun really just touched it once and didn’t touch it again, and his face didn’t show much longing. This left her a bit puzzled.

Doesn’t he want to practice more?

With that in mind, she now turned her attention to Ji Li. Seeing that she was in a good mood today, she even occasionally answered Ji Li’s questions and gave her pointers on cultivation.

Ji Li’s cultivation speed was not slow, Enlightenment level 8 wasn’t a joke, she should be able to reach the first level of the Qi Consumption Technique soon, and officially step into the world of cultivators.

For someone like Lu Xun who has only Enlightenment level 1, his progress in systemic cultivation would be quite slow.

As previously mentioned, a game character’s level and cultivation techniques are linked. As the cultivation technique upgrades, the level upgrades as well, and vice versa.

Game characters can also gain experience points through normal cultivation. When these experience points are full, they can level up their cultivation techniques. The higher the Enlightenment level, the more experience points gained during cultivation.

For example, he is at the Enlightenment level 1 now, each cultivation can gain X points of experience. If it’s Enlightenment level 5, he can gain 5 times X points.

Of course, players prefer to gain experience points through special means like completing quests, especially during the early stages when leveling up is faster.

As for Lu Xun now, if he relied on regular cultivation, he would need to spend much time. However, having killed a Mountain Ghost before and gained 666 experience points, he could level up to the first layer of the Qi Consumption technique immediately if he wanted to.

But he didn’t plan to do so. After all, a man has to learn to be patient. Moving too fast isn’t always good.

This is something you all need to learn.

Most importantly, the “Perfect Start” he chose requires him to maintain level 0. If he leveled up now, things would get complicated.

He could bear it for a little longer. Now is not the time to surge ahead.

After Ji Li successfully circulated her Qi, Murong Yan’s chubby face displayed a simple smile. The little girl subtly nodded her head, then said: “Not bad, you’re just a little bit behind me.”

Ji Li was overjoyed at her words.

However, thinking that Lu Xun still had no cultivation technique to practice, she restrained her happiness to avoid affecting his mood.

Instead, it was Lu Xun who grinned at her and gave her an encouraging look.

He didn’t care, since he had already learned the Qi Consumption Technique, he just hadn’t started practicing yet.

Even geniuses can’t beat cheaters.

Time went by quickly. Ji Li spent most of the journey cultivating, while Lu Xun was spacing out.

The two days passed quickly, and they were approaching the Demon Sect. Mao Nanbei turned to Murong Yan, who was flying next to her on her sword, and said, “Murong Yan, tell them the rules of our Demon Sect.”

“Alright, Young Elder.”

The reason why the task was not assigned to the little girl was because… she didn’t know the specific rules either.

She only finds out when she gets chased by the Law Enforcement Elder that she has broken a rule again.

If it wasn’t for her high seniority, she would have been severely punished a long time ago.

Truth be told, the Demon Sect has fewer restrictions compared to other Sects. Yet somehow, she manages to break one or two rules every now and then. Perhaps that’s a special talent of hers.

It has been proven that, in any world, naughty kids are in need of education.

Murong Yan, the chubby girl, seemed a lot more honest and reliable. She recited every rule in detail. After explaining all the rules, she kindly asked, “Do you all understand? If not, I can explain again.”

Look at her! She doesn’t resemble the demonic cultivator at all, more like a kind-hearted big sister!

What a disgrace to the Demon Sect!

This further affirmed Lu Xun’s belief that the Demon Sect needed someone like him!

Lu Xun didn’t ask any questions, instead, it was Ji Li who asked a few incredibly silly questions. She indeed had great potential for cultivation, but she was genuinely dense.

After explaining the rules, there wasn’t much more to say, but Mao Nanbei, who intended to adopt Lu Xun as her mount, couldn’t resist saying a little more.

“The Demon Sect is divided into three main areas, respectively the Outer Sect where new disciples are active, the main peaks where inner disciples like Murong Yan, the Sect Master, Elders, Deacons reside, and a rather special place called the Small Study.”

It is hard to imagine that in the cult of the Demonic Evil Cultivators, the most mysterious and highest-level place would bear such a fresh and lovely name, hinting at an air of scholarship.

The little loli continued, “The Small Study is where my fellow disciples, Sir, and I live.”

“I’m telling you this because you will be my mount in the future, so you might have some chances to visit the Small Study.”

“On normal days, even inner disciples, deacons, and regular elders are not allowed to come and go freely.” As she said that, her cat ears twitched satisfyingly, clearly a sign she was pretending to be very great in front of Lu Xun.

Ji Li, on the other hand, sounded quite surprised. There’s a Small Study and a Sir in the Demon Sect?

The clueless Ji Li couldn’t resist asking, “I have to study in the Demon Sect…?”

Her words made even Lu Xun chuckle.

Mao Nanbei, the little loli laughed till her stomach ached, clutching her little belly, she said, “Hahaha! Sir is my master; he just prefers others to call him Sir.”

Ji Li’s small round face reddened slightly, somewhat embarrassed.

In fact, even Mao Nanbei, the disciple of Sir, didn’t know why Sir preferred to be addressed this way.

Lu Xun knew a little bit.

In “Heavenly Dust”, the game later introduced many large-scale instances and some secrets of the Heavenly Dust Continent gradually came to light among the players. Although they felt a bit like rumours and gossips, most were somewhat credible.

Legend has it that Sir prefers to be addressed like this because he has a twin brother and their mother died when she gave birth to them.

Due to some special reason, they couldn’t figure out who was born first, hence they weren’t sure who was the older and who was the younger twin.

However, even among twins, one has to be the older and the other the younger.

Yet both of them wanted to be the older brother…

So, the title “Sir”, amused him greatly.

He has lived so long that very few people know his real name. Whether it’s people within or outside of the Demon Sect, they all have become used to addressing him as “Sir”.

Lu Xun had been playing “Heavenly Dust” for many years and, right up until he transmigrated, he had never seen Sir take action.

In the gaming forums, there were countless posts speculating about his power level, making him one of the most mysterious men in the entire Heavenly Dust Continent.

Those who like to swindle others especially loved to leverage Sir’s reputation, with posts like, “If Sir isn’t the ultimate boss, I’ll broadcast myself eating my own shit! I’ll keep eating it even after taking a dump!”

As for how strong Sir really is, nobody knows.

There weren’t many players who had even come into contact with him. After all, his pretension was apparent, making him look like one of the ultimate NPCs in the game.

Among all the players in “Heavenly Dust”, only one person, purely by chance, was accepted as a disciple by Sir shortly after the game’s beta test.

He received such special treatment, almost like the protagonist of a novel!

But not much information pertaining to Sir was revealed from his mouth.

This “fortunate one” was in poor health and played the game too intensely…

——He died unexpectedly.
