For Second Senior Sister not looking like a cute girl, Lu Xun felt a little regret in his heart.
On the contrary, this cold appearance gave people a yujie vibe, but it seemed a little out of sync with the cute name Gu Xiaoman.
This Senior Sister might be an awesome character in the later stages who would make players kneel and call her mom.
Lu Xun glanced at the Qi Devouring Art in his hand again, feeling grateful in his heart. After all, this greeting gift was indeed suitable for someone who had just entered the world of cultivation, but for him... it really wasn't very useful.
He only needed to accumulate experience points and level up all the way. This Qi Devouring Art full of annotations was more suitable for Ji Li.
But after all, this was Second Senior Sister's good intention, and Lu Xun didn't have the face to ask her to change it... although he really wanted to change it.
——But he had the cheek to ask Mao Nanbei for one.
Second Senior Sister already gave one, you're also a Senior Sister, shouldn't you also give something?
Mao Nanbei felt uncomfortable from his stare, and finally gritted her teeth and threw him a Storage Ring.
[Received a Storage Ring (Yellow), equip? Backpack space +30 after equipping.]
This thing was really useful to Lu Xun, and could save him some trouble in normal times.
"Here, it's not that Senior Sister is stingy, it's that your cultivation is too low. Magic Items are more suitable for you. Using Spirit Items would be too much of a burden. Just use this for now," Mao Nanbei said.
What she said was indeed the truth. There were no level restrictions on equipment in Tian Chen, but if your level wasn't high enough, you wouldn't be able to unleash its power even if you equipped it, so it was useless.
Ji Li stood aside watching. It would be a lie to say she wasn't envious, but more than that, she was happy for Lu Xun.
Before, she was worried that Lu Xun's aptitude was too poor and that he would be bullied after coming to the Demon Sect, but now it seemed that there was no need to worry about this at all.
Second Senior Sister didn't seem to want to chat. She waved her hand, signaling everyone to leave.
On the way back, Lu Xun was still thinking in his heart: "Second Senior Sister doesn't seem to like talking much."
To be precise, she didn't say a single word, which was really strange.
Could she be a little mute?
But he was still very happy to receive two greeting gifts tonight, and couldn't help but smile.
Lu Xun turned his head and glanced at Ji Li. With the faint light of the fireflies, he found that she was smiling even more happily than him.
Looking at her silly appearance, Lu Xun couldn't help but reach out and flick her forehead.
"Why did you flick me?" Ji Li covered her forehead, her eyes wide open.
"Little Martial Grand-Aunt flicks you because she wants to, why so many questions?" Lu Xun said.
He wouldn't say that it was because he thought you were a soft persimmon and felt good to the touch. He was getting a little addicted to pinching you, and couldn't help but want to pinch you a few more times.
As soon as he finished speaking, his forehead was also flicked. The one who did it was Mao Nanbei.
"Then it's okay for Senior Sister to flick you, right?" Mao Nanbei smiled and stood up for Ji Li, with a little expression of "I'm the big sister."
Lu Xun was speechless, imagining in his mind that one day his cultivation would greatly increase, and he would press Mao Nanbei on his knees, rubbing her head and cat ears with his left hand, and spanking her little butt hard with his right hand!
But it had to be said that with such a small interlude, everyone became cheerful and laughing on the way back.
The quiet back mountain added some liveliness, and even the fireflies flying around flew more vigorously.
It wasn't until they reached the small study that Ji Li was stunned for a moment.
Only then did she realize: "What am I doing following you back here?"
Her task was to take care of Lu Xun, and now that Lu Xun was awake, her task was completed.
The small study was where Teacher and several Little Martial Grand-Aunts lived. Could it be that they would open a guest room for her?
She did have a last bit of desire for Lu Xun, but unfortunately, she really didn't have the guts. Asking her to stay in Lu Xun's room for another night, she was willing, but it depended on whether Lu Xun invited her.
Lu Xun glanced at her, couldn't help but smile, and was too lazy to tease her again. Instead, he asked Mao Nanbei: "Fourth Senior Sister, can I lend this Qi Devouring Art that Second Senior Sister gave me to Ji Li to study?"
Mao Nanbei waved her hand indifferently and said, "If Second Senior Sister gave it to you, then it's yours. You can arrange it yourself."
After saying that, Second Senior Sister entered the house first, and it was unknown whether she was sleepy or returning to her room to cultivate.
On the contrary, Ji Li was slightly stunned after hearing this.
Normally, when someone obtains such a treasure, even if they are willing to lend it to others, shouldn't they first study it themselves? Yet Lu Xun thought of her first, which warmed her heart.
She naturally didn't know that this booklet was a bit useless to Lu Xun. If it weren't a gift from Second Senior Sister, he might have taken it to the Outer Sect to auction it off…
But he had to put on an act, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain how he learned the Qi Devouring Art without even looking at it once. He still had to bite the bullet and take a look.
"Come in," Lu Xun said to Ji Li as he entered the house.
Ji Li really followed him in, like a silly girl.
It was late at night, and Ji Li couldn't fly yet, so it would be too hard for her to walk the mountain road again.
After entering the house, Lu Xun told her to cultivate on her own first, while he pretended to read the Qi Devouring Art.
To be honest, it used to be playing a game, but now that he had really transmigrated, he was still curious about cultivation techniques.
Logically speaking, cultivation techniques would seem obscure and difficult to understand at first glance, but he read it very smoothly, as if he had already known it by heart.
It must be said that Second Senior Sister's handwriting was really beautiful, except for being a bit thin.
After reading it all, he handed the booklet to Ji Li.
"Don't you want to read it a few more times? There's no need to rush to give it to me," Ji Li quickly refused.
In her opinion, Lu Xun's aptitude was not good, so this booklet was a treasure to him, and he should take it out to study it from time to time.
"No need," Lu Xun said, and did not forget to add: "Your brain is so stupid, but I'm different, I have a photographic memory."
Ji Li didn't believe him, so Lu Xun said, "Then ask me anything, and see if I really remember it."
As a result, she asked him about a few places, and Lu Xun answered them all correctly.
Of course, she didn't know that the game system had already recorded all the contents of the Qi Devouring Art into the
Cultivation Technique List
, including Second Senior Sister's annotations. As long as he clicked on
Details
, he could see all the contents.
"So… so amazing!" Ji Li said in her heart.
Then, Lu Xun watched as a series of numbers popped up next to Ji Li again:
[Favorability +1…+1…+1…]
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This silly girl's favorability is too easy to Guide (capture/win over)."
There was no way around it, people who were handsome were especially dazzling when they showed off.
Now, he could upgrade legitimately. As long as he clicked
Upgrade
, he could reach the first level of the Qi Devouring Art.
But before that, he wanted to try what it felt like to cultivate on his own.
When he read webnovels in the past, after the male protagonists officially embarked on cultivation, they would all cleanse their marrow and bones, and the dirt on their bodies would be completely discharged. Then they would become taller, more handsome, stronger, and smarter. Even the process of cultivation was described as particularly Refreshing (refreshing/exhilarating), and they would feel comfortable all over after cultivation, and then Spit (spit) out a mouthful of Turbid Qi (foul air).
It looked like a very good Yako (appearance/state).
So… let's give it a try?
