Chapter 31: 031, (How many have you seen) (Thanks to Alliance Hierarch “CzLB l ‘ for the reward)

The Qi Sea is where the spiritual energy resides, and all those who cultivate should learn to utilize their own Qi Sea.

And to utilize it, first, you must see it, you must understand it.

The second level of the Qi Consumption Technique is precisely this.

Indeed, the reason why the Qi Sea uses the term “sea” is because the Qi Sea is vast and wide enough!

People in the Demonic Way are different from those in the Righteous Sects.

Those in the Demonic Way always attempt to form their own nature, and the Qi Sea is the foundation for their usurping of nature’s spiritual energy.

Simply put, the so-called “Qi Consumption” is the swallowing of spiritual energy, and the swallowing into the Qi Sea.

But since ancient times, there have been many cultivators of the Demonic Way, and yet no one has ever heard of anyone filling up their Qi Sea.

Therefore, in the perception of those who cultivate the demonic way, the Qi Sea is often seen as endless.

Being something endless, it naturally can’t be seen at a glance, but with the same glance, some people will see more, and some will see less.

Some people have narrow vision and may only see the size of a water tank at a glance.

Some people have a far-sighted vision and may see a babbling brook at a glance.

Since ancient times, there have been many talents who, upon their first “seeing” the Qi Sea, have been distinguished from others.

Take current Demon Sect Master Shen Yan for example, a lofty 8th level cultivator, ranking well over 80 in the game, how much did he see at the second level of the Qi Consumption Technique?

It is said that he saw a great river!

At this moment, as Lu Xun publicly broke through, everyone naturally wondered how much the Young Elder would see at first glance? Lu Xun, standing on the stage, was unaware of the crowd’s curiosity.

Because…

He didn’t see anything at all.

The initiation ceremony eventually proceeded smoothly to its end, the disciples returned to their respective peaks to cultivate, while the Sect Master and some Peak Masters did not leave, staring at Lu Xun.

Lu Xun, who was initially observing his rapidly rising “Reputation Value” , felt like a sword pierced his back under everyone’s gaze.

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

He didn’t see much of the reclusive expert’s temperament in these big shots of the Demon Sect. They were just like ordinary people, with their own emotions and curiosities.

How to put it, they resembled a group of shameless old men.

But the amount one initially sees of the Qi Sea is actually a private matter. They indeed wanted to know more, but as juniors, they didn’t know how to ask at that moment.

They just stared at the Young Elder. If the Young Elder wanted to say something, he would, but if not, that’s fine too.

They just watched him break through in public, feeling a bit curious.

At this moment, Lu Xun was completely confused and had no idea what was going on. Finally, Shen Yan stepped forward and asked Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei to go back to the back mountain to rest.

After Mao Nanbei and Lu Xun left, Gongshu Pan, the Peak Master of Thunder Peak who also served as the Law Enforcement Elder, frowned and said, “Don’t make it difficult for Little Junior Brother. If Little Junior Brother doesn’t want to speak, perhaps he saw less.”

“Elder Brother Gongshu, I disagree. Given that the Young Elder is a disciple of the master and his extraordinary temperament, I think it would not be surprising if he saw a stream, a lake, or even a river!”

The one who spoke was Luo Wanqiu, the Peak Master of the Water Cloud Peak. She looked like a voluptuous beauty. Aging seemed to have left very little trace on her.

She was more inclined towards Lu Xun, after all, the Young Elder looked so handsome.

If this were Earth, she would be a fan mom of these young idols.

“Going by my intuition, I agree with Junior Brother Gongshu,” said Sima Chuan, the Peak Master of Evergreen Peak. He was the oldest among them and also their senior brother.

Yue Heshan, the Peak Master of Leaping Peak, proposed, “Well then, why not…

place a bet?”

This was tantamount to suggesting a wager.

“A wonderful idea.” stated several Peak Masters in unison. Even Sect Master Shen Yan, after restraining himself for a while, couldn’t resist joining in.

Only Gongshu Pan, who also served as the Law Enforcement Elder, frowned and said displeased, “The thirteenth rule in the sect regulations is clearly written. Such behavior is not encouraged, offenders must pay 500 Spirit Stones!”

“Brother Gongshu, don’t be such a party pooper. Just because we are discouraged from gambling doesn’t mean it’s forbidden. I’ll pay the 500 spirit stones!” immediately offered Yue Heshan, who had first suggested the bet.

Despite being known as a Charitable Gambling King who loses every bet he places, he was still enthralled by the prospect of gambling.

“Yeah, yeah, a small bet adds to the fun,” chimed in a bunch of shameless elders, each taking out five hundred spirit stones and placing them on the ground.

In the end, even Gongshu Pan reluctantly pulled out five hundred spirit stones after several seconds of consideration.

Lu Xun, of course, had no idea about what was happening on the other side.

He didn’t know that after all the shameless elders placed their bets, Sect Master

Shen Yan was appointed as their representative. He would visit the Small Study at the back of the mountain in the following days to probe, asking Young Elder exactly how many he had seen in a glance.

It turned out they’d placed quite a hefty bet.

On the paper crane, Mao Nanbei was sitting next to Lu Xun, constantly staring at him.

“Fourth Sister, haven’t you had enough of staring?” Lu Xun asked with a smile.

His Sect Reputation Value had sky-rocketed to over 1800, so he was in a pretty good mood.

If it had been in the past, he would have had to run countless sect missions to earn this much reputation value!

Opportunities for all of the Demon Sect disciples to gather weren’t plentiful, but luckily for him, Lu Xun was a master at seizing every opportunity to show off.

Back when he was gaming, he never missed an opportunity to attract attention.

Without a guild or a workspace, he was a Lone Ranger. If he didn’t create a splash, how would he get noticed, how would he receive so many game offers? He wasn’t fond of showing off, he was just fond of turning a quick buck.

“No choice, I have to make a living.” This was Lu Xun’s soliloquy.

Mao Nanbei shifted her little butt a bit, cuddling close to Lu Xun and said:

“Little Junior Brother, can you tell me in secret, how many did you see?” After saying that, she quickly added: “I promise I won’t tell anyone else!” Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, what did I see?

“Fourth Sister, what exactly are you asking about?” Lu Xun tentatively asked.

“Of course, it’s about the Qi Sea! You’re playing dumb! Tell me, how many Qi Seas did you see at first glance!”

Only after hearing her say that, Lu Xun remembered about the Qi Sea.

When he used to game, most players were obsessed with mindless leveling, but he did have a general understanding of the cultivation system in “Heavenly Dust”.

Lu Xun was actually aware of the Qi Sea but simply didn’t recall it at the time. After all, pressing the upgrade button was all it took in the game, there wasn’t this much depth or nuance involved.

But just now, he really didn’t see anything. His vision went completely dark the instant he leveled up. It was pitch black all around him and it took awhile for his vision to return.

Being enveloped in darkness, naturally, was the equivalent of seeing nothing. Which means he saw nothing, right?

So, no matter how much the little Ioli badgered him, Lu Xun chose to remain silent.

He too, had a certain amount of self-respect.

In the end, the little Ioli was somewhat miffed until Lu Xun promised to grill a few more fish for her later. Only then did she calm down, insisting that there should be more spice in the grilled fish this time.

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

He was naturally a broad-minded person, so he wasn’t upset.

If he saw nothing, then he saw nothing. Just because he couldn’t see it, didn’t mean it wasn’t there.

A first glance at the Qi Sea is just a measure of one’s talent. It’s similar to seeing how many ripples a person can make, but it’s not definitive.

Even though he saw nothing, he still had the humor to make a joke in his mind: “It’s said that everybody’s Qi Sea looks different. What if mine is black?”
