Back in Qingling City, during one of their casual chats, Murong Yan had mentioned this great cultivator who single-handedly began a new era in the cultivation world. Her words were full of gratitude and respect.
The fact that so many people could now venture into the world of cultivation was largely thanks to this mysterious individual.
Although this individual’s contributions were tremendous, their name didn’t leave a single trace in history, for reasons unknown.
Lu Xun had some knowledge about this part of history, but despite a lot of players in his previous life being interested in digging out hidden plots, no groundbreaking plot was ever unearthed during Lu Xun’s time.
He had a strange insight into a lot of confusing and hidden plot information, but he wasn’t omniscient.
The blame solely lies on the players from his past life for not being up to the mark!
Five days later, Lu Xun and the others finally reached the foot of the Demon Sect mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, Lin Chan looked up at the isolated Lead Peak, finding it hard to pull her gaze away for some reason. “Did you notice something?” Lu Xun asked with a smile.
Lin Chan shook her head.
She didn’t really notice anything specific. However, in an odd way, her eyes were drawn irresistibly to the mountain peak that resembled a sword sheath. “It seems Little Chan, despite being a Natural Sword Embryo, is still inexperienced and is unable to sense the Sword Qi from Lead Peak. But the fact that she can sense something is off is a testament to her being a True Natural Sword Embryo,” Lu Xun mused internally.
Murong Yan took Ji Li up to the mountains using her flying sword, and then the dedicated disciples of the Demon Sect descended the mountain to receive Lu Xun.
Murong Yan could have taken everyone up the mountain one by one, but with her generous nature, she preferred to give others the opportunity. The moment she announced the Young Elder had returned, multiple shadows flitted past, as many dedicated disciples rushed down the mountain to escort Lu Xun back up.
By the time others reacted, it was too late, leaving them with no other option than to bow out.
“Uh oh! This was a golden opportunity to interact with the Young Elder!” Many disciples lamented.
Among the disciples rushing down the mountain, there were more women, but enthusiastic male disciples were also present, likely due to their cordial personalities.
Ji Li was no longer surprised at Lu Xun’s popularity. She had heard that many female outer sect disciples called out for the Young Elder even in their dreams. It seemed that a small number of male disciples did the same. This made her feel the pressure of the stiff competition.
Of course, she was undoubtedly the one who shouted the loudest and laughed the goofiest in her dreams.
At the foot of the mountain, the small and mute Lin Chan was witnessing such a spectacle for the first time. Seeing one cultivator after the other descending from the mountain, she was scared and shrunk behind Lu Xun, her small hand instinctively grasping Lu Xun’s sleeve.
After all, she was a simple and inexperienced young mute who hadn’t seen much of the world. Her previous perception of the sky was really small, and this was the first time she encountered so many cultivators at once.
“Greetings to the Young Elder!” The group of dedicated disciples performed their salutations in hopes they might escort Lu Xun up the mountain. Their faces practically screamed, “Pick me! Pick me!”
“No need for formalities.” Lu Xun greeted the crowd of disciples with a warm smile.
“Young Elder, she is…” said one lazy unnamed backup disciple while pointing at Lin Chan.
She was the leader of this patrolling group. According to the rules, Lu Xun had to register Lin Chan when he brought her back to the sect.
Lu Xun explained with a smile, “This time when I went down the mountain, I happened to meet a promising individual whom I took as a disciple. Her name is Lin Chan. Make sure not to misspell it when registering.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd of disciples looked at each other in confusion.
The Young Elder had just stepped into the cultivation world, how come he already had a disciple?
The more creative ones were already thinking, “The Young Elder is open to accepting students, does that mean… I also stand a chance?”
Who wouldn’t want to embark on an adventure of eternal life if it meant being in the company of such a good-looking master!
They secretly wished that the Young Elder would personally appear at the next selection of Inner Sect Disciples.
Many disciples swiftly sneakily glanced at Lin Chan again. This young girl seemed too thin, and her complexion didn’t look healthy. But if the Young Elder noticed her, she must possess something exceptional, right?
Thus, under the lead of the team leader, the crowd of disciples all greeted Lin Chan with a bow, saying, “Greetings, Elder Sister!”
As the new disciple of the Young Elder, she is their elder sister, right?
Having so many people bowing to her, the small mute girl panicked even more.
She lowered her head, not knowing what to do.
In the past, she was just a small helper at a restaurant, and whenever the cultivators from the Demon Sect came to rest in the restaurant, she would be too afraid to look at them more than once.
Now that many cultivators are bowing to her, she can hardly adapt to the sudden change in her status. It would be weird if she did.
At this moment, she clearly felt the respect and honor being the disciple of her master brought and thought to herself that without being his disciple, she wouldn’t have enjoyed such privileges.
Lu Xun extended his left hand and gently patted the small hand that was clutching his right sleeve and whispered, “Don’t panic, don’t be afraid.”
The little mute nodded. With Lu Xun by her side, she felt safe.
She was originally an introverted girl, always looking down in self-consciousness. However, now, she was making every effort to break that habit. She was afraid that if she always kept her head down, she would embarrass her master.
