[How Much Did You See] (Thank you "CzLB" for the Alliance Master reward)

Qi Sea is where spiritual energy resides. All cultivators must learn to utilize their Qi Sea.

Since you need to learn to utilize it, first, you must see it and understand it.

That is the threshold of the second layer of the Qi Devouring Art.

In fact, the reason why the word "sea" is used for Qi Sea is because the Qi Sea is large enough and vast enough!

People of the Demonic Path are different from those of the righteous path. People of the Demonic Path have always tried to create their own world, and the Qi Sea is the foundation for them to plunder the spiritual energy of the world.

To put it simply, the so-called "devouring Qi" is to swallow spiritual energy and put it into the Qi Sea.

However, since ancient times, there have been so many people who cultivate the Demonic Path, but no one has ever been heard of filling their Qi Sea.

Therefore, in the cognition of those who cultivate the Demonic Path, the Qi Sea is often endless.

Since it is an endless thing, one cannot see the end at a glance, but with the same glance, some people will always see more, and some people will see less.

Some people are short-sighted, and at a glance, they may only see the size of a water tank.

Some people have a long-term vision, and at a glance, they may see a babbling stream.

Since ancient times, many talented and brilliant people have been different when they "saw" the Qi Sea for the first time.

Take Shen Yan, the current Sect Master of the Demon Sect, for example, a strong man in the Eighth Realm, a level 80+ big shot in the game. How much did he see in the second layer of the Qi Devouring Art?

It is said to be like a river!

And Lu Xun is breaking through in public at this moment, so everyone is naturally thinking, how much can the Little Martial Grand-Aunt see at first glance?

Lu Xun, who was standing on the high platform, knew nothing about everyone's curiosity.

Because…

——He saw nothing.

The entry ceremony ended in an orderly manner. The disciples returned to their respective peaks to cultivate, but the Sect Master and several Peak Lords did not leave, all staring at Lu Xun.

Lu Xun was staring at his soaring reputation points, and felt pricked by thorns when he felt everyone's gaze.

Why do I feel a sense of gossip in their eyes?

He didn't see much of the temperament of an expert from the world in these big shots of the Demon Sect. They were just like ordinary people, with their own joys, sorrows, and curiosity.

How should I put it, they were just like a group of old scoundrels.

But how much a person sees the Qi Sea for the first time is actually a private matter. They really want to gossip, but as juniors, they don't know how to speak for a while.

Anyway, just stare at Little Martial Grand-Aunt. If Little Martial Grand-Aunt is willing to say it, then say it. It doesn't matter if he doesn't.

They just watched him break through in public, and they were a little itchy.

Lu Xun was confused at the moment and couldn't figure out the situation at all. In the end, Shen Yan stood up and asked Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei to go back to the Back Mountain to rest first.

After Mao Nanbei and Lu Xun left, Gongshu Pan, the Thunder Peak Peak Lord who was the most upright person and also served as the Law Enforcement Elder, frowned and said, "Everyone, don't embarrass Little Martial Grand-Aunt. If Little Martial Grand-Aunt doesn't want to say it, perhaps he saw less."

"Gongshu Senior Brother, I don't think so. Little Martial Grand-Aunt is both Teacher's disciple and has a detached state of mind. I don't think it's an exaggeration to see a stream, a lake, or even a river!"

The one who spoke was Luo Wanqiu, the Water Cloud Peak Peak Lord. She looked like a plump and beautiful woman, and the years didn't seem to leave too many marks on her.

She was more biased towards Lu Xun in her heart, after all, Little Martial Grand-Aunt was so good-looking.

If she were on Earth, she would be a mommy fan of those little fresh meats.

"With my intuition, I agree with Gongshu Junior Brother's idea." Sima Chuan, the Evergreen Peak Peak Lord, said. He was the oldest among them and also the First Senior Brother of their generation.

Yue Heshan, the Leap Peak Peak Lord, suggested: "Since this is the case, why not... open a betting pool?"

This meant to place a bet.

"Very good." Several Peak Lords said in unison. Even the Sect Master Shen Yan couldn't help but join in after being reserved for a while.

Only Gongshu Pan, who also served as the Law Enforcement Elder, frowned and said unhappily: "Article 13 of the Sect Rules is very clear, this kind of behavior is not encouraged, and violators must pay 500 Spirit Stones!"

"Gongshu, don't be such a spoilsport. Not encouraging it doesn't mean it's forbidden. I'll pay the 500 Spirit Stones!" Yue Heshan, who had made the initial suggestion, immediately said.

He was clearly a charitable gambling addict, someone who lost every bet, yet he was enthusiastic about it.

"Yes, yes, a little gamble is good for the soul," a group of shameless old men chimed in, each taking out five hundred Spirit Stones and placing them on the ground.

Finally, after pondering for a few seconds, Gongshu Pan silently took out five hundred Spirit Stones as well.

Lu Xun naturally had no idea what was happening over there.

He had no idea that after this group of shameless old men had finished placing their bets, Shen Yan had been assigned as their representative to visit the Back Mountain Study in the next few days to get some information out of Little Martial Grand-Aunt, asking her exactly how much he had seen at first glance.

It had to be said, the stakes were quite high.

On the paper crane, Mao Nanbei sat next to Lu Xun, staring at him intently.

"Fourth Senior Sister, haven't you seen enough yet?" Lu Xun said with a smile.

The sect's reputation had now soared to over 1800, and he was in a great mood.

If it had been before, he would have had to diligently run so many sect missions to get this much reputation!

It was just a pity that opportunities for Demon Sect disciples to gather like this were rare, but luckily he was a show-off who was good at seizing every opportunity.

When he used to play games, he never missed an opportunity to show off.

He didn't have a game guild or a studio behind him; he was a lone wolf. If he didn't show off a little, how would he get attention and get so many game orders?

He didn't enjoy showing off; he just enjoyed making easy money.

"I have to make a living." This was Lu Xun's inner monologue.

Mao Nanbei shifted her little butt, moved closer to Lu Xun, and said, "Little Martial Brother, tell me secretly, how much did you see?"

After speaking, she didn't forget to add, "I promise not to tell anyone else!"

Lu Xun was stunned for a moment. What did I see?

"What exactly is Fourth Senior Sister asking about?" Lu Xun asked tentatively.

"Of course, it's the Qi Sea! Don't pretend you don't know! Tell me quickly, how many Qi Seas did you see at first glance!"

Hearing her say this, Lu Xun remembered the Qi Sea thing.

When he used to play games, most players were enthusiastic about leveling up mindlessly, but they still had some understanding of the cultivation system in Tian Chen.

Lu Xun actually knew about this, but he just didn't remember it for a moment. After all, knowing was one thing, but when playing games, you just pressed the level-up button and that was it. There weren't so many mysterious experiences.

But he really didn't see anything just now. The moment he leveled up, everything went black, and it was dark all around. It took a while for his vision to return.

Pitch black was naturally equivalent to nothingness, which was the same as seeing nothing, right?

So, no matter how Little Loli pressed him, Lu Xun chose to remain silent.

He had to save face too.

Later on, Little Loli even threw a little tantrum, until Lu Xun promised to grill a few more fish for her later, and then she calmed down, saying that she wanted more spice in the grilled fish this time.

Sitting on the paper crane, Lu Xun looked down at the earth.

He was a magnanimous person, so he wasn't sad.

If he didn't see it, he didn't see it. Not seeing it didn't mean it didn't exist.

How much you saw at first glance was just a standard for measuring a person's talent, similar to how many ripples you had, but it wasn't absolute.

Having seen nothing, he even had the mood to say a joke in his heart:

"It is said that everyone sees a different Qi Sea. What if mine is black?"
