Inside the “Ghost’s Grief”, Lu Xun turned his gaze towards the wall where his name hung high.

He seemed to be looking at the leaderboard, but in actuality, he was collecting his rewards.

From inside “Ghost’s Grief”, for killing a large number of normal ghosts and three elite level ghosts, Lu Xun gained close to 80,000 experience points.

Simultaneously, each completed stage also came with a reward that could be cashed in. Having cleared all four stages, he received an additional reward of 100,000 experience points.

Coupled with the 50,000 experience points for attaining first place on the leaderboard, Lu Xun had gained a total of almost 230,000 experience points in his run through “Ghost’s Grief”!

That was a staggering figure. Normal players could only hope to earn around 30 to 40 thousand experience points from this mission.

After all, the majority of the experience from monster kills came from those three elite level ghosts, and the bulk of the experience from the mission came from the rewards for clearing the final stage and ultimate reward for clearing all stages…

Therefore, it was unlikely for most players to gain anything outrageous.

However, for regular players, 30 to 40 thousand experience points would be enough to level up in the initial stages of the Initial Realm.

But for Lu Xun, his target number was five times that.

Leveling up from 13 to 14 would require 200,000 experience points!

Which was also just enough for one level…

This was such a damn hard life.

Without hesitation, he communicated briefly with Mao Nanbei and Lin Chan, then cross-legged in front of everyone and pretended to breakthrough.

In reality, he was browsing the forums on his phone and prepared to click on the upgrade button in a few minutes.

Unable to help it, it’s not like he wanted to show off in front of everyone… alright, he did want to.

But the main purpose was still to earn some more reputation for the Demon Sect!

Once these feats are reported back to the Demon Sect, the Sect Reputation Value could rise higher.

Boundless Mountain and Demon Sect were both among the three major demon sects, so competition and rivalry certainly existed.

The better Lu Xun performed, the more proud the disciples of the Demon Sect would be.

Especially since he had a tool on his side – Ye Sui’an!

This was as good as soaking up all the attention and glory in front of the three major sects – Boundless Mountain, One Sword Mountain, and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain!

Wouldn’t the reputation points skyrocket!

In two minutes, Lu Xun finished reading the latest chapter of the web novel he was following on the forum.

“What the hell! Why is the latest chapter so short!” After complaining for a moment, Lu Xun wasted another three to four minutes reading all the angry comments from the readers that criticized the author, and only then did he click on upgrade.

His aura changed for a moment, then slowly settled down.

“He broke through? This guy Lu Xun from the Demon Sect actually broke through?” A stern faced disciple from Boundless Mountain asked with surprised eyes but showing no emotion.

“Seems effortless for him to break through, and he only just sat down a moment ago.” Another icy faced disciple murmured, his face showing no emotion.

Even the Snake Elder who was observing from afar was once again shocked, but what shocked him was different from what astonished the ordinary disciples.

Lu Xun’s effortless breakthrough was understandable to him.

After all, as a once powerful demon, he had been just as impressive and had also seen considerable prodigies.

Yet, considering that Lu Xun was walking down a path of cultivating all Five Elements, that was an entirely different concept!

“How did he manage to do it?” It bothered the Snake Elder, who wanted to question Lu Xun in order to satisfy his curiosity.

But he didn’t dare.

Slowly, Lu Xun opened his eyes and saw Mao Nanbei and Lin Chan, who were clearly thrilled for him, and also… Ye Sui’an, who seemed even happier than them.

“Kid, are you sick?” Lu Xun wanted to step forward to ask him.

Did I break this future world protagonist’s brain?

This doesn’t make any sense. I only lightly touched the middle of his brow, I didn’t even put any strength into it.

He had no idea that Ye Sui’an was genuinely happy for him.

“Elder Lu broke through once again, which means he has made another step forward, paving the way for future Sword Cultivators! This is wonderful!”

Since he had already gained enough Experience Points within “Ghost’s Grief”, Lu Xun was ready to leave this place and formally proceed to Boundless Mountain.

There is still a task from the master that he has yet to complete. Deep down, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

The master said he should bring something back from Boundless Mountain, but didn’t specify what that something was.

What if it is something valuable and he can benefit from it?

However, the master didn’t specify what that item was, but merely said to inform the Sect Leader of Boundless Mountain and he would understand.

“What if Boundless Mountain refuses to give it?” Lu Xun wondered.

“Shouldn’t be the case. Otherwise, with the master’s cheeky nature, he might become embarrassed and angry, and then he would personally come over to Boundless Mountain to ‘explain some facts’.” Lu Xun chuckled.

He lightly turned his bamboo hat, flipped it and wore it firmly.

He then nodded politely to the disciples of Boundless Mountain, made a bowing gesture towards the distance as a farewell to the Snake Elder, and led Mao Nanbei and Lin Chan towards the exit.

But Ye Sui’an swiftly followed, giving the impression of intending to accompany them.

Lu Xun stopped in his tracks, his eyebrows knitting slightly, then switched position to shield Lin Chan.

“Elder Lu, where are you heading?” Ye Sui’an asked, peering around Lu Xun.

Since Lu Xun was wearing a bamboo hat, he couldn’t see Lu Xun’s countenance.

Before Lu Xun answered, Ye Sui’an spoke again, “The aim of my journey this time around is quite vague, so rather than wandering aimlessly, I would prefer to follow you, Elder Lu!”

After he finished speaking, he stared at Lu Xun with sincere eyes full of hope.

“Those eyes… They’re just like the eyes of a player looking at an NPC’s.” Lu Xun thought.

The emotions in his eyes were a bit mixed… a bit intense…

Truthfully, if it was just him, he might have agreed because Ye Sui’an was a world protagonist, and he should encounter a lot of adventures. I could just tag along, right?

But when he thought about how Ye Sui’an might possibly pursue Little Chan relentlessly… Lu Xun began to feel some resistance.

“Even though it doesn’t seem like he’s interested in Little Chan yet, who am I to say love doesn’t work in mysterious ways?” Lu Xun thought.

“Remember those girls who chased after me in my previous life? They suddenly and inexplicably became fascinated with me. I even had a hard time getting rid of them!”

“Love is unfathomable!”

Upon further thinking, however, he realized that he couldn’t be around Little Chan all the time. The best way would be to find a way to nip Ye Sui’an’s wishful thinking in the bud.

With that in mind, Lu Xun lifted the thin cloth on his bamboo hat, revealing a warm smile that made people feel as though they were bathing in a spring breeze.

“We are planning to make a trip to Boundless Mountain. You’re welcome to join us if you don’t mind.”
