Teacher's Brush

Among the crowd, Ji Li strained on tiptoes, trying to make sure Lu Xun could find her.

When their eyes met, Lu Xun noticed that Ji Li seemed to have slimmed down a little. The baby fat on her face was still there, but less than before.

Perhaps it was because she was getting older, or perhaps she had suffered a lot on her cultivation journey.

Of course, some places hadn't slimmed down at all. On the contrary, she was only sixteen years old, and her body seemed to still be developing. Who knew if one day in the future, she might reach even greater heights.

Speaking of which, some men seemed to be particularly into that, to the point of "being mercenary and loving breasts." Lu Xun was okay with it.

Many men see a loli and think they're a loli-con, see a mature woman and think they're a mature woman-con. Don't overthink it, you're just horny.

Having not seen her for many days, Lu Xun wanted to chat with Ji Li for a bit.

Based on the friendship they had built along the way, he had even made up several excuses to explain why he hadn't come to see her, so as not to make her think he was breaking his word.

But Ji Li was standing in the crowd now, and if he walked over, the surrounding disciples would definitely make way for him. If an ancestral figure mixed into the ranks of the Outer Sect Disciples, no one would feel comfortable.

So he waved at Ji Li and said, "Come here."

"Shua–", Ji Li's round face turned red all at once.

The Outer Sect Disciples all knew that Little Martial Grand-Aunt and Ji Li had come to the Demon Sect together, so they probably knew each other before. They made way for her.

She gritted her teeth and shamelessly walked quickly to Lu Xun's side.

Many female disciples secretly envied her, and strangely, some male disciples cast envious glances as well.

Lu Xun was quite composed. He looked at her and teased, "You used to want to capture me as a cauldron, and now you know how to be shy?"

Seeing that Ji Li didn't speak, he continued to tease her, "Do you still have that thought now?"

Ji Li looked up at him, saying "Disciple wouldn't dare," but her eyes desperately dodged his gaze.

Lu Xun's mouth twitched. This little brat was still thinking about it! She hadn't given up yet!

I treat you like a junior, but you're lusting after my body…

—This Little Martial Grand-Aunt is so angry!

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Elder Qiu Shui led the group to the trial grounds.

As the head of the Outer Sect Elders, and only one generation younger than Lu Xun, she stepped forward and asked, "Does Little Martial Grand-Uncle want to go first, or watch for a while?"

Lu Xun's status was extraordinary, so naturally he could do whatever he wanted.

Lu Xun smiled slightly, a warm smile, and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, but guaranteed that everyone could hear, "I'll go first. I'll set an example for everyone, and it'll save you from being nervous while I'm watching."

After all, his status was different, and coupled with the fact that he had just condensed his Sword Heart, the Outer Sect Disciples' respect for him was unparalleled. Most of these two thousand-plus points of prestige came from these Outer Sect Disciples who hadn't seen much of the world.

"Little Martial Grand-Uncle is so approachable!"

"Yeah, Little Martial Grand-Uncle is so considerate, always thinking of us."

Quiet exchanges arose among the disciples. No one would have thought that in a perfectly good Xianxia world, someone would be shameless enough to create a persona for himself in order to gain prestige, preparing to take the path of a male idol who circles around brain-dead fans.

"From today on, I'll be the idol of the Demon Sect!" Lu Xun said in his heart, "Be down-to-earth and strive to become a popular traffic star as soon as possible!"

In his eyes, tools were recyclable, and prestige could be harvested wave after wave.

Everyone walked for about twenty minutes and soon arrived at an open space.

In the center of the open space, there was a table with only a simple and ordinary-looking brush on it.

A huge white talisman paper was currently floating in mid-air.

Lu Xun first glanced at the talisman paper, and basic information appeared before his eyes:

[An extra-large, low-grade talisman paper.]

This talisman paper had nothing special about it except that it was relatively large. It was the cheapest talisman paper most commonly used by cultivators.

The key to this trial was mainly the brush, the seemingly unremarkable brush that Teacher had once used.

Elder Qiu Shui stood by the table and said loudly, "This brush was bought by Teacher from a small town and used for writing and painting."

"The content of your trial today is to pick up this brush and write or draw on this large talisman paper. You can write whatever you want, draw whatever you want. The person who uses the brush for the longest time will be rewarded with an Emerald Pill!"

For Outer Sect Disciples, pills are precious items, with one pill being worth several or even dozens of days of cultivation.

The Emerald Pill is considered a decent pill even in the Inner Sect, and for Outer Sect Disciples, it's definitely a treasure.

That touch of green is simply too tempting.

"Cheer up later," Lu Xun said to Ji Li.

He could tell that Ji Li was already at the third level of the Qi Devouring Art, one level higher than him.

As expected of someone with 8 ripples, her cultivation is fast!

If her aptitude were converted into game terms, it would be equivalent to 8 Comprehension! Lu Xun, circulating one Great Cycle a day, can gain a maximum of 20 experience points, so Ji Li would get 160 points...

Ten days would be 1600 experience points, enough to level up from level 0 to level 3.

Although she is a native of the Tian Chen Continent, it shouldn't be calculated this way. But she can also receive an pill supplied by the Demon Sect every seven days, so this cultivation speed is understandable.

Fortunately, he can gain experience by doing quests and killing monsters...

After receiving Lu Xun's encouragement, Ji Li nodded vigorously.

The silly girl realized at this moment that because she was standing next to Lu Xun, she had naturally become the second person to step forward and hold the brush, which was equivalent to being the first Outer Sect Disciple to take the stage.

This made her a little nervous, but not to the point of being timid. After all, she is a daring person who can even have unreasonable thoughts about Little Martial Grand-Aunt.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Elder Qiu Shui said, "Little Martial Grand-Aunt, then... shall we begin?"

Lu Xun nodded, and then leisurely walked towards the table in front, his back looking casual and saunrestrainedtuo (unrestrained).

The writing brush on the table looked very ordinary. Elder Qiu Shui said before that Teacher had bought it from a small town.

Upon closer inspection, it can be found that this brush is not only ordinary, but also cheap, probably the cheapest kind of writing brush.

Lu Xun didn't rush to take action, but tried to obtain the basic information of this writing brush.

He is currently at a low level, so he can only obtain limited basic information. But perhaps because this brush is a quest item, the basic information that popped up was relatively comprehensive.

After Lu Xun read all the basic information, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He is currently just a level 2 noob, and a brush that Teacher once used is also level 20!

During the new book period, there are two stable updates every day. Why do so many people feel like I only update one chapter a day? The number of words updated is clearly not less than others... I pondered for a whole night and came to the conclusion that it must be because I write too well, so I confidently ask for recommendation tickets.
