Chapter 105: 105, [Unexpectedly, another Natural Sword Embryo)

Translator: 549690339

Back in Qingling City, during one of their casual chats, Murong Yan had mentioned this great cultivator who single-handedly began a new era in the cultivation world. Her words were full of gratitude and respect.

The fact that so many people could now venture into the world of cultivation was largely thanks to this mysterious individual.

Although this individual’s contributions were tremendous, their name didn’t leave a single trace in history, for reasons unknown.

Lu Xun had some knowledge about this part of history, but despite a lot of players in his previous life being interested in digging out hidden plots, no groundbreaking plot was ever unearthed during Lu Xun’s time.

He had a strange insight into a lot of confusing and hidden plot information, but he wasn’t omniscient.

The blame solely lies on the players from his past life for not being up to the mark!

Five days later, Lu Xun and the others finally reached the foot of the Demon Sect mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Lin Chan looked up at the isolated Lead Peak, finding it hard to pull her gaze away for some reason. “Did you notice something?” Lu Xun asked with a smile.

Lin Chan shook her head.

She didn’t really notice anything specific. However, in an odd way, her eyes were drawn irresistibly to the mountain peak that resembled a sword sheath. “It seems Little Chan, despite being a Natural Sword Embryo, is still inexperienced and is unable to sense the Sword Qi from Lead Peak. But the fact that she can sense something is off is a testament to her being a True Natural Sword Embryo,” Lu Xun mused internally.

Murong Yan took Ji Li up to the mountains using her flying sword, and then the dedicated disciples of the Demon Sect descended the mountain to receive Lu Xun.

Murong Yan could have taken everyone up the mountain one by one, but with her generous nature, she preferred to give others the opportunity. The moment she announced the Young Elder had returned, multiple shadows flitted past, as many dedicated disciples rushed down the mountain to escort Lu Xun back up.

By the time others reacted, it was too late, leaving them with no other option than to bow out.

“Uh oh! This was a golden opportunity to interact with the Young Elder!” Many disciples lamented.

Among the disciples rushing down the mountain, there were more women, but enthusiastic male disciples were also present, likely due to their cordial personalities.

Ji Li was no longer surprised at Lu Xun’s popularity. She had heard that many female outer sect disciples called out for the Young Elder even in their dreams. It seemed that a small number of male disciples did the same. This made her feel the pressure of the stiff competition.

Of course, she was undoubtedly the one who shouted the loudest and laughed the goofiest in her dreams.

At the foot of the mountain, the small and mute Lin Chan was witnessing such a spectacle for the first time. Seeing one cultivator after the other descending from the mountain, she was scared and shrunk behind Lu Xun, her small hand instinctively grasping Lu Xun’s sleeve.

After all, she was a simple and inexperienced young mute who hadn’t seen much of the world. Her previous perception of the sky was really small, and this was the first time she encountered so many cultivators at once.

“Greetings to the Young Elder!” The group of dedicated disciples performed their salutations in hopes they might escort Lu Xun up the mountain. Their faces practically screamed, “Pick me! Pick me!”

“No need for formalities.” Lu Xun greeted the crowd of disciples with a warm smile.

“Young Elder, she is…” said one lazy unnamed backup disciple while pointing at Lin Chan.

She was the leader of this patrolling group. According to the rules, Lu Xun had to register Lin Chan when he brought her back to the sect.

Lu Xun explained with a smile, “This time when I went down the mountain, I happened to meet a promising individual whom I took as a disciple. Her name is Lin Chan. Make sure not to misspell it when registering.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd of disciples looked at each other in confusion.

The Young Elder had just stepped into the cultivation world, how come he already had a disciple?

The more creative ones were already thinking, “The Young Elder is open to accepting students, does that mean… I also stand a chance?”

Who wouldn’t want to embark on an adventure of eternal life if it meant being in the company of such a good-looking master!

They secretly wished that the Young Elder would personally appear at the next selection of Inner Sect Disciples.

Many disciples swiftly sneakily glanced at Lin Chan again. This young girl seemed too thin, and her complexion didn’t look healthy. But if the Young Elder noticed her, she must possess something exceptional, right?

Thus, under the lead of the team leader, the crowd of disciples all greeted Lin Chan with a bow, saying, “Greetings, Elder Sister!”

As the new disciple of the Young Elder, she is their elder sister, right?

Having so many people bowing to her, the small mute girl panicked even more.

She lowered her head, not knowing what to do.

In the past, she was just a small helper at a restaurant, and whenever the cultivators from the Demon Sect came to rest in the restaurant, she would be too afraid to look at them more than once.

Now that many cultivators are bowing to her, she can hardly adapt to the sudden change in her status. It would be weird if she did.

At this moment, she clearly felt the respect and honor being the disciple of her master brought and thought to herself that without being his disciple, she wouldn’t have enjoyed such privileges.

Lu Xun extended his left hand and gently patted the small hand that was clutching his right sleeve and whispered, “Don’t panic, don’t be afraid.”

The little mute nodded. With Lu Xun by her side, she felt safe.

She was originally an introverted girl, always looking down in self-consciousness. However, now, she was making every effort to break that habit. She was afraid that if she always kept her head down, she would embarrass her master.

In the end, Lu Xun randomly selected two lucky disciples to serve as drivers, to transport himself and Lin Chan up the mountain.

The disciples chosen by him would likely boast about it in front of their peers for three days. Especially the one who drove him, he would probably dream about it at night.

The news of Lu Xun taking on a new disciple quickly caused a sensation throughout the Demon Sect. Even Shen Yan and several Peak Masters immediately rushed to the Lead Peak.

According to the rules, this matter should have been reported to them immediately.

Helplessly, apart from Senior Yanli, none of Lu Xun’s other senior brothers and sisters had taken any disciples. Thus, Lu Xun, as the junior brother, set a precedent.

Shen Yan and the others were all older and unexpectedly gained a junior sister. Couldn’t they come and take a look?

Additionally, Lin Chan’s identity was special. Her inclusion in the Demon Sect necessitated Shen Yan’s presence as Sect Master.

The commotion was second only to the day when Lu Xun made a groundbreaking leap at Lead Peak, which successfully made him the master’s disciple.

According to the rules, Lin Chan’s cultivation qualifications also needed to be examined and recorded.

When the nine ripples appeared in the air, many disciples were left speechless!

What on earth had young Elder been doing when he went down the mountain? In such short a time, he has discovered another prodigy for our Demon Sect!

Elder is indeed worthy of being Elder!

Looking at his steadily increasing “Reputation Value”, Lu Xun smiled satisfactorily.

Shen Yan and others were also adorned with radiant smiles. A disciple of this caliber belonged to the category of “desirable but hard to come by”. No sect would think of having too many such disciples, every one of them grinning from ear to ear.

A sense of envy welled up in Shen Yan’s heart. He wished he also had such an outstanding disciple!

With genuine sincerity, Shen Yan said to Lu Xun, “Congratulations, young

Elder. ”

Lu Xun smiled, seeing the look of envy on Shen Yan’s ugly face, he felt guilty towards him since Lin Chan was originally meant to be Shen Yan’s disciple.

“Ah, from now on, I’ll give Shen Yan more disciples I don’t want,” Lu Xun mused again in his heart.

At this time, he thought of something and asked, “Sect Master, according to the rules, Little Chan should also get a chance to visit Dengcang Mountain, Every Outer Sect Disciple gets to climb Dengcang Mountain once they are promoted to the Inner Sect. As his disciple, Lin Chan’s status would be higher than an average Inner Sect Disciple. Logically, she should carry qualifications similar to him and be granted this privilege.

“In response to young Elder, it should be so,” Shen Yan replied.

Even Gongshu Pan, who serves as Law Enforcement Elder, kept quiet, indicating agreement.

However, after interacting with Lin Chan briefly and after getting a hint from Lu Xun’s gaze, they understood that this frail little girl was actually mute.

They didn’t belittle her because of this, and knowing that Lin Chan used to work at Lai Fu Restaurant, everyone thought to themselves – Fate, it surely works in mysterious ways!

She was already halfway part of the Demon Sect!

Shen Yan cast a smiling glance at Lin Chan. Seeing his scary and hairless face, Lin Chan felt frightened and shrank her head back a bit.

This made Shen Yan a bit embarrassed, but he was used to it. Everyone in the sect feared Gongshu Pan who also serves as Law Enforcement Elder, but feared him even more.

Apart from his status as Sect Master, some were also scared due to his fierce and extraordinarily ugly appearance. So scary and frightful!

On the contrary, upon hearing young Elder mentioning Dengcang Mountain, Yue Heshan, the Charitable Gambling King, couldn’t help but have his eyes light up!

Did this imply… another round of betting was going to take place?!

Clothed in a thin black robe, Luo Wanqiu who looked like a young woman, jokingly said to Lu Xun, “Young Elder just got back and is already planning to send Junior Sister Chan into the mountains to seek treasures?”

“Not yet, give it a few days.” Lu Xun waved his hand, not in a hurry at all.

He gently ruffled Lin Chan’s hair and smiled, “When you climb Dengcang

Mountain, bring back a good sword.”

Lin Chan really didn’t understand. She didn’t know what Dengcang Mountain was and why there would be swords on the mountain. But she would do whatever her master told her to. Therefore, she lightly nodded her head, portraying an obedient demeanor.

The Charitable Gambling King, Yue Heshan, felt even more certain that another round of betting was impending. Seeing that Lu Xun was so enthusiastic, shouldn’t he… invite young Elder to join in the fun as well?

The game was always more fun with more participants!

So, he tentatively asked, “Young Elder appears to have a lot of faith in Junior Sister Chan’s abilities?”

Lu Xun nodded. The instant he thought about his incomplete “Reputation Value” mission, he immediately felt a sense of urgency, thinking he couldn’t waste any opportunity to increase his “Reputation Value”.

Therefore, he immediately followed Yue Heshan’s lead. His tone was light and casual, as if he was making a casual remark, but the words he spoke caused a huge stir:

“I am naturally confident in Little Chan.”

“Because she, like me, also possesses a Natural Sword Embryo.”
