Outside the Small Study, Shen Yan was sizing up Lu Xun, and Lu Xun was doing the same to him.

Not many people have the liberty of entering and leaving the Small Study. Combined with Shen Yan’s unique appearance and his “mob boss” face, Lu Xun recognized him at first glance.

Though Shen Yan seems to lack promising disciples under his wing, once

“Heavenly Dust” officially goes public, and the player base begins to grow from Outer Sect Disciples to Inner Sect Disciples, Shen Yan will suddenly become vastly popular.

His unique character image appeals to a subset of players. Even if Shen Yan is Imown as one of the “stingiest NPCs” with scant mission rewards, there will nevertheless be a large influx of players driving each other forward.

“I’m bald, but I’ve also grown stronger,” right, this then is the so-called “Bald Strong! ”

Players develop a spontaneous admiration for him.

Apparently, Shen Yan’s baldness resulted from a severe case of internal churning from demonic fire. If one proceeded with cultivation properly, they would not experience such a phenomenon.

However, some cheeky players also wanted to go bald, so they shaved their heads smooth.

Later on, some disciples under Shen Yan’s ward even grouped together to form a fascinating organization—the Bald Party.

Core members of the Bald Party are also required to shave off their eyebrows.

This organization, comical in appearance yet vigorous in combat, would either kill you with laughter or literally kill you. They had unexpectedly made a name for themselves within “Heavenly Dust.”

Of course, all that is to come in the future.

Shen Yan offers Lu Xun a junior’s salute, and Lu Xun reciprocates, saying, ‘Greetings to the Sect Master.”

The Sect Master naturally holds a unique position within the sect. Although he is of a lower generation than Lu Xun, his status is much higher.

Therefore, the master’s disciples usually maintain their own respect for Shen Yan. You call us elder, we respectfully address you as Sect Master, after all, it’s just mutual salutations.

When the game goes public, with a bunch of players joining the Demon Sect, they will all have to address Lu Xun as “Young Elder.” Just thinking about this gives him a thrill.

In this life, I’ll never compete with you for equipment, tasks, or monsters. I’m content to be your revered elder!

However, after reflecting on this, he realizes he will still need to compete for necessities.

After all, for them, “Heavenly Dust” is just a game. But for Lu Xun, this is the world.

Shen Yan looks at Lu Xun and asks with concern, “I wonder how the Young

Elder’s injuries have healed?”

“There’s no major issue, thanks to the Sect Master’s Spirit Pill.” Lu Xun replied with a slight smile.

Seeing Shen Yan’s attitude, he guessed that Shen Yan probably wanted something and asked, “Does the Sect Master need something?”

Shen Yan nodded and said, “The master taking on a new disciple is a joyous occasion for the whole Demon Sect. As his juniors, we surely need to throw a grand ceremony for Young Elder. The ceremony will be held tomorrow. I came to let Young Elder know.”

Lu Xun nodded in understanding. It was a standard protocol.

As one of the highest-ranking members of the Demon Sect, he should make an appearance for all the disciples to recognize.

Everyone in the Demon Sect was curious about this Young Elder.

After all, rumor had it that he was exceptionally handsome.

His incredible leap had amazed all the disciples and left them in awe.

Seeing that Lu Xun didn’t seem nervous or stage-frightened, Shen Yan felt relieved.

After all, Young Elder used to be a mere mortal before joining. It was unexpected that he had such a good attitude and demeanor.

On considering it, if he dared to jump off the Lead Peak, being the center of attention in front of all the disciples wouldn’t be so intimidating, would it?

It was only at this moment, that Shen Yan seemed to remember something. He bowed his hands to Lu Xun and said, “Congratulations, Young Elder, on your initiation into cultivation.”

Naturally, reaching the first level of Qi Consumption Technique meant being initiated into cultivation.

Lu Xun smiled and returned the greeting, but in his mind he thought, ‘Dang it, why don’t you leave? I’m really hungry right now.’

To outsiders, it was evident that he had reached the first level of the Qi Consumption Technique. But if he were to examine Shen Yan’s specific information, apart from his name, everything was .

Since Shen Yan was a level eight powerholder, he must be at about level eighty or so. Level eighty, ridiculously strong!

Before Lu Xun came through, the game level was only opened up to level 60.

The reason why Shen Yan was slightly surprised was because Lu Xun’s cultivation speed was a bit too fast.

To cultivate the Qi Consumption Technique to the first level overnight was not really amazing. Some prodigies might only need an hour.

The path of cultivation becomes harder as one progresses, but entering the door is not difficult.

However, Lu Xun’s qualifications were unusually poor, even among the outer sect disciples, he was the worst. With such qualification and such cultivation speed, even Shen Yan was slightly astonished.

“Could it be that my Spirit Pill had some residual spiritual power and was absorbed by the young elder?” Shen Yan speculated.

But when he thought about how the disciple was chosen by the teacher, no matter how miraculous, it could still be understandable. The requirements for accepting disciples set by the teacher were quite eccentric, surely he has his own considerations.

On the other hand, Lu Xun seemed a bit preoccupied after learning about the ceremony’s related matters.

The reason was simple. He had received a task!

“[Ding! Trigger Sect Reputation Value Task, Accept?]”

Lu Xun glanced at the details of the task. It simply stated that his status in the Demon Sect was very high and he needed to establish the prestige of his elders, raising the “Reputation Value” to 2000 points.

Last night, he had noticed this so-called Reputation Value, and his current Reputation Value in the Demon Sect was 900 points.

Not too high, but definitely not low either.

The reason why it was 900 was because there were too many rumors about him circulating in the sect recently. Another reason was that everyone respected the teacher, and since he was the disciple of the teacher, they naturally respected him too.

In simple terms, more than half of these 900 points of Reputation Value came from the blessing of his status and position, and it did not have much to do with him personally.

This task was very difficult, but the rewards were also rich: there were a full 10,000 experience points and special attribute points!

Normally, Prestige Value Tasks could not be triggered in the early stages of the game. Most players would only trigger these kinds of tasks after they became an Inner Sect Disciple.

But who would have guessed that Lu Xun was stepping too big…

When players become Inner Sect Disciples, their level is already not low. So, 10,000 experience points are not a big deal. The real reward of this task is the Special Attribute Points!

This item is very precious. Players can’t get much from regular tasks. They can only be gained by completing hidden tasks or highly difficult top-tier tasks.

But for Lu Xun at this moment, these two rewards are worth it!

Most importantly, in the game, gaining Reputation Values depended on diligent and tiresome tasks for the sect. It required accumulation over time.

Even for his current 900 points of Reputation Value, ordinary players might not be able to acquire it, not even with exhausted legs.

Furthermore, he had traversed, and the addition of his special status seemed to provide him much more room for manipulation.

Ordinary players improve their Reputation Value by working diligently for the Demon Sect, showing everyone their hard work. While expert players typically choose to show off frantically within the sect, letting everyone know how awesome they are.

In a short moment, Lu Xun had already conceived a simple plan in his heart. Just when his thoughts were wandering, Shen Ludan forcefully pulled him back.

Seeing Lu Xun lost in thought, he asked, “Young elder, do you have any concerns?”

Lu Xun hurriedly waved his hands.

The conversation then returned to the topic of the ceremony. Shen Yan gave a rough description of the process and Lu Xun nodded frequently, with no objections.

After everything was settled, he excused himself and left.

Lu Xun touched his empty stomach and took a deep breath, “Finally, I can go get some food.”

Of course, before hunting for food, he didn’t forget to accept the task. “[Ding! Task accepted successfully, current task progress: Reputation Value 900/2000.]”
