One thought Lu Xun hadn't even touched a sword since joining the sect, and the smiles on Shen Yan and the others' faces grew even brighter.

To have comprehended Sword Heart without cultivating swordsmanship or wielding a longsword, wasn't this the legendary Innate Sword Embryo!?

Teacher is indeed Teacher, the disciple he accepted truly has his mystical qualities!

Our Demon Sect has obtained such an Innate Sword Embryo, we will surely slap the faces of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Swords Mountain once again in the future!

Lu Xun looked at Shen Yan and the various Peak Lords' increasingly unrestrained smiles, feeling a bit bewildered inside.

But since everyone was laughing, he could only laugh along, as it made him seem more sociable.

And because he was too good-looking, his smile was very charming. In the eyes of others, it became a confident and unrestrained smile, making it seem like that was really the case.

Of course, his gaze remained fixed on the Prestige Value, watching as it broke through the 2000 mark, instantly reaching over 2300, and still rapidly increasing!

[Ding! Prestige Value Task has been completed, would you like to claim the reward?]

Lu Xun chose to claim it, and 10,000 experience points immediately arrived in his account, along with extra special attribute points that could be freely allocated!

In his current stats page, the experience bar had already changed to

[10150/1000]

, it was like a windfall from the heavens!

Leveling from Level 2 to Level 3 required 1000 experience points, Level 3 to Level 4 required 2000 points, and Level 4 to Level 5 required 4000 points. Calculating it this way, his current experience points were enough to reach the fifth level of the Qi Devouring Art!

And there was also 1 special attribute point that could be freely allocated, that was the real treasure!

"Comfortable," Lu Xun said in his heart.

After calming the joy in his heart, Shen Yan said to Lu Xun, "I wonder if Little Martial Grand-Aunt wants to return to the Back Mountain for quiet cultivation? This Outer Sect Trial, how about…"

"It's nothing, Sect Master, I still want to try," Lu Xun immediately said.

What a joke, no one can stop me from doing tasks!

When he used to play Tian Chen, he was a task-completion maniac, a taskoholic.

If he completed it perfectly, that would be 5000 experience points, which wasn't a small amount!

Shen Yan and the various Peak Lords exchanged glances, then nodded.

You are Little Martial Grand-Aunt, what you say goes.

Thus, he personally escorted Lu Xun to the Outer Mountain where the Outer Sect Disciples were located.

Logically speaking, Shen Yan and the various Peak Lords should have returned to their respective peaks, but they didn't seem to want to disperse.

"Oh? Do you all want to see the results of Little Martial Grand-Aunt's trial?" Shen Yan asked with his screeching chicken-like voice.

"Indeed, why not go to my Evergreen Peak for tea? It's been a while since we brothers sat together to drink tea and chat, when was the last time we were together?" Evergreen Peak Lord Sima Chuan said.

"Yesterday," Thunder Peak Lord and Law Enforcement Elder Gongshu Pan replied ruthlessly.

"Senior Brother Gongshu is really boring!" The plump and beautiful Water Cloud Peak Lord Luo Wanqiu rolled her eyes at him with a look of disdain.

Actually, everyone was just looking for an excuse to sit together and be spectators, and you just like to expose it mercilessly!

But everyone had been fellow disciples for so many years, and they knew each other well. Yue Heshan, the most mischievous and unrestrained Leap Peak Lord, teased him, "So, Senior Brother Gongshu doesn't want to go?"

"Ahem, let's go together, let's go together," Gongshu Pan said with a stern black face.

With their cultivation levels, they could see every detail of the trial on the Outer Mountain, so there was no need to be there in person.

Moreover, with their status, if they all went, many Outer Sect Disciples would probably be very nervous, which would affect their performance.

It was just that after this group of old fogeys sat together, under the guidance of Yue Heshan, the charity gambling king who always lost, they were about to start a betting game again.

"What do you say… among these newly joined seedlings, who will stand out today?" Yue Heshan had already begun to set the stage.

What he meant was mainly the newcomers among the Outer Sect Disciples, Lu Xun was not included.

Although they had extraordinary status in the Demon Sect, they would occasionally pay attention to the newly joined disciples, after all, they were the future of the Demon Sect.

"That child named Xu Zhongcheng is not bad, I'm optimistic about him," Sima Chuan said.

This Xu Zhongcheng's Cultivation Aptitude was eight ripples, which was considered a rare cultivation genius.

"Then I'm more optimistic about Ji Li," Shen Yan said, having already invested a small piece of Fire Essence in Ji Li.

Actually, Lu Xun had been staying on the Back Mountain, so he was unaware. Ji Li and this Xu Zhongcheng both possessed rare Cultivation Aptitude with eight ripples, making them the center of attention in the Outer Sect. Many people would compare the two of them.

This was inevitable. Competition between disciples wasn't a bad thing, as long as the competition was fair and aboveboard.

Those who won shouldn't get arrogant and should continue to work hard. Those who lost shouldn't harbor resentment and should strive to surpass. Such a cultivation environment would be particularly good.

Even Lu Xun sometimes felt that the Demon Sect was like a large school, rather than how it was written in many web novels, where everyone only had the first place in their eyes. It was as if climbing to the top allowed one to bully anyone, and even if they killed the former number one, no Sect elders would come out to stop them...

It was as if the Sect bigwigs could only accommodate one person in their eyes.

This was actually a very absurd thing. Just like in a school, the top student would naturally be the center of attention, but other top students wouldn't be completely reduced to background characters.

If that were really the case, even if everyone cultivated demonic arts, this Sect would not be able to develop and grow.

It was like a high school that needed both the top scorer and the college entrance rate for first and second-tier universities. You had to grasp both!

Everyone was an adult, why make a multiple-choice question? Why couldn't you have it all?

At this moment, there weren't many disciples who could catch the eye of the bigwigs, but there was definitely more than one. Thus, Yue Heshan got his wish and opened the betting pool again!

Charity Gambling King Yue Heshan bet on Xu Zhongcheng and confidently felt that this time he was sure to win.

This Outer Sect Trial suddenly became interesting.

On the other side, Lu Xun was walking on the outer mountain road, and the Outer Sect Disciples who encountered him saluted one after another, calling him Little Martial Grand-Aunt and congratulating him on his improved cultivation.

Lu Xun nodded with a smile, his smile was gentle and approachable, striving to leave a good impression in the hearts of every tool person... Ptooey, every junior, so that he could continue to farm Prestige Value in the future.

The Prestige Value Task was a chain task, and the second stage had automatically opened. The task required reaching 5,000 Prestige Value, giving 50,000 Experience Points, and randomly granting special attribute points.

Yes, it was no longer freely allocated special attribute points, but randomly granted like a lottery. The dog game was very stingy and not that generous.

After walking for a while, he arrived at the gathering point for the Outer Sect Disciples participating in this trial.

There were quite a few people participating this time, it looked like there were more than a hundred people. The leader was Outer Sect Elder Qiu Shui, whom Lu Xun had met once.

After accepting a round of salutes, Lu Xun nodded with a smile, and then searched for Ji Li's figure in the crowd.

He searched for a long time before finding her.

She wasn't tall to begin with, and she didn't dare to wave at Lu Xun in this kind of situation, so she was desperately standing on tiptoe in the crowd at the moment.
