Chapter 62: You Can Consider My Offer

"Who killed them?"

Elder Xie spoke again.

No one in the crowd answered, but all eyes were focused on the figure in white at the front.

"Hmm?"

Elder Xie followed the gazes of the crowd, took a glance at Li Xun, and exclaimed in surprise, "Did you kill these two extraterritorial demons?"

"Yes, it was me, senior."

Li Xun cupped his hands and replied.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Elder Xie repeated three "good"s in succession, his face showing a pleasant surprise.

Although the two demons on the ground were dead, their strength was still evident. After all, they had killed a core disciple in the Life-Death Realm. The horror of their abilities was clear.

Yet, these formidable demons had fallen at the hands of an inner disciple.

What did this imply?

It indicated that the current inner disciple possessed enormous potential, and his strength almost overshadowed his peers. Without such capabilities, how could he have slain two demons?

“What's your name?”

Elder Xie asked.

"I'm Li Xun."

"Li Xun? Good name!"

Elder Xie praised, admiringly looking at Li Xun. He continued, "You have made great contributions to the sect by killing two demons. When I report to the sect leader later, I will definitely recommend you for commendation!"

"Although I can't specify the exact rewards at the moment, I can guarantee you one thing: within the scripture pavilion, you can choose a lower grade earth level cultivation technique freely!"

lower grade earth level cultivation technique...!!

Hearing these words, the nearby disciples of Xuanyang Sect were all visibly excited. With envious eyes, they looked at Li Xun.

Whether it was in terms of cultivation techniques or martial arts, anything with the prefix "earth-grade" held extraordinary value. Outside, it could spark a chaotic bloodbath!

Every disciple of Xuanyang Sect could only choose a lower grade earth level cultivation technique or martial art when advancing to become a core disciple. Note that the amount of technique they can choose was only one!

In other words, choosing a cultivation technique meant forgoing a martial art, and vice versa. If one wanted to obtain more, they had to make contributions to the sect, and ordinary contributions wouldn't suffice. One had to complete sect missions to exchange for another lower grade earth level cultivation technique or martial art.

It typically took at least a hundred years!

However, today, within a single day, Li Xun had already saved several decades of time for himself!

How could this not make others envious?

"Elder!"

At this moment, Ye Han suddenly stood up. He glanced at Li Xun and then spoke, "Senior Brother Li Xun, it's not that you killed two demons; it's three!"

Others might have forgotten, but he hadn't.

When Senior Brother Li Xun appeared, he brought the severed head of the third demon.

In other words, before coming here, Senior Brother Li Xun had already killed the third demon in advance!

Since no one else mentioned this, Ye Han naturally took the initiative to inform Elder Xie of this matter. After all, he was becoming quite the fan of Senior Brother Li Xun. Moreover, Li Xun had saved his life multiple times. Compared to the favor of saving his life, what he had done was too insignificant.

"Oh?"

After hearing Ye Han's words, Elder Xie's eyes brightened again, and he looked at Li Xun with even greater satisfaction.

Not arrogant, not impetuous, and not greedy for success; these qualities are quite rare. Based on Li Xun's performance today, Elder Xie was confident that Li Xun's achievements in the future would definitely surpass his own.

"I never expected that our Xuanyang Sect would actually have a true dragon. Practice well; the future of Xuanyang Sect may rely on you!"

Elder Xie said solemnly. "Elder Xie, your praise is too much."

Li Xun responded with humility.

His mind had been preoccupied with the storage bracelet of the demon he killed earlier; his thoughts were not entirely on this conversation or even the recent events involving the third demon.

It was Ye Han who mentioned the matter about the third demon.

"When you become a core disciple, if you consider taking a master, you can consider me."

Elder Xie said with a smile.

After becoming a core disciple of Xuanyang Sect, one could seek a master. Of course, not everyone could find a master. Some core disciples had mediocre aptitude and wouldn't be accepted by elders as their disciples.

But Li Xun was different. With Elder Xie's words today, he already had a master reserved for him once he became a core disciple.

However, whether to take a master and whom to choose would depend on Li Xun's personal preference. Even Elder Xie wouldn't force him.

This was also a kind of special treatment for geniuses.

"Alright."

Not waiting for Li Xun to answer, Elder Xie turned the topic, looking at several disciples nearby. He said, "You guys, go down the mountain to look for other inner disciples. See if there are any still stranded outside. Bring them all back. I'll take you back to Xuanyang Sect!"

"Yes!"

The selected disciples, all with cultivation in the Lingyuan Realm and minor injuries, swiftly flew down on their swords to search for other inner disciples.

"Elder, I'll take my leave as well."

Li Xun spoke up.

"Sure."

Elder Xie nodded with a smile.

After Li Xun left, Elder Xie took a few steps and arrived in front of the demon corpses. He examined them and his eyes lit up with a hint of excitement.

"These are really good treasures. Their bodies are so tough; if used for refining, they might be able to craft several high-quality magic weapons!"

Elder Xie commented with satisfaction.

He knows some refining techniques. Seeing these demon corpses, he couldn't help but feel a bit itchy. Unfortunately, he didn't kill these demons, so he couldn't forcefully take them.

"I'll ask Li Xun when he comes back. If he doesn't want them, I can even buy them directly."

Not long after that, Li Xun returned, carrying a slender figure from a distance. The person he was holding was none other than Liu Qingshuang.

After finding the third storage bracelet, Li Xun discovered Liu Qingshuang not far away. Her injuries were still severe, to the point that walking was difficult.

Therefore, Li Xun decided to carry her back directly.

Being held in Li Xun's arms, Liu Qingshuang's whole body softened. Her face turned slightly red as she buried her small head in Li Xun's chest, not daring to lift it to meet anyone's gaze.

Little did she know that many female disciples around, each with a complicated expression, were secretly envying her for having lighter injuries.

Unable to be replaced.

As they returned to the mountaintop, Li Xun had not stopped walking when suddenly a crisp voice rang in his mind.

​​【Ding, congratulations to the host for finding a blue-tier investable target. Investing in two corpses of extraterritorial demons will yield one Enlightenment Pill!】

"Hmm?"

Hearing the voice, Li Xun glanced around, only to see Elder Xie not far away, standing beside the two extraterritorial demon corpses. A visible blue light was enveloping him at a noticeable speed.
