Chapter 321 Undercurrent
After returning to the restaurant, Lu Xun finished cooking for the girls, then lay on a rattan chair and browsed the forum for a while.
He soon saw the posts posted by the players and their speculations about Baidi's strength.
“You’re so bold in your guess, you actually said that I’m at least at the fifth level.” Lu Xun looked at the post and said in his mind.
However, when he thought about his previous self, who was also a level 60 character, he accepted the settings added for him by the players .
“Well, I’m a great practitioner, no problem.” Lu Xun smiled.
It was just that the poster of the "free food and drink post" on the forum disappeared all of a sudden after Baidi appeared in the Xizhou realm.
He was so loud before, but now he doesn’t even dare to show up, for fear that stupid players will line up to ask him to broadcast live.
Ji Li secluded herself in the restaurant for three days, digesting the sword insights she gained from "The Moon in the Well".
She estimated that after returning to the Demon Sect and meditating for a period of time, she would be able to develop her own sword intent.
During these few days, Lu Xun was also frantically harvesting the leeks in the Xizhou area.
You know what, the leeks from other places have a unique flavor.
Lu Xun easily earned two million experience points and gained a lot of fans.
"Counting the days, the Demon Sect's inner sect promotion examination will begin in a while, right?" Lu Xun said to Ji Li and others.
"Well, there are still twenty days." Ji Li counted on her fingers and replied.
"It's time to return to the sect. You should also go back and prepare well." Lu Xun nodded slightly.
When Ji Li passes the assessment, she will have another chance to climb Mt. Zang.
Lu Xun was quite curious, what could she get in Zangshan?
In his opinion, it would be better to take a sword. After all, Ji Li's wedding sword was just a magic weapon and was almost outdated.
The most high-end magic weapon she currently possessed was, in fact, the red jade hairpin [Hongzhuang] given to her by Lu Xun.
When Mao Nanbei heard that they were going back to the mountain, he immediately asked, "Junior brother, are you leaving Xizhou tomorrow?"
She still hadn't had enough fun and felt there wasn't anything exciting to do, so she just came all the way here and ate a few meals prepared by her junior fellow apprentice.
She also paid a price for this, which was having her ears rubbed by him every day.
Trampling on her dignity as a senior sister!
Lu Xun looked at her and replied, "We will set off tomorrow, but we have to go to the Xizhou boundary monument first."
"Is it the legendary boundary marker?" Mao Nanbei immediately became interested.
It was her first time to Xizhou, and she was extremely curious about this legendary boundary marker.
"Yes, it is the boundary monument regarded as a holy monument by sword practitioners." Lu Xun nodded.
He was actually very curious. What would the sword practitioners in the world think if they knew that the boundary monument they regarded as a holy monument was alive?
"Okay, okay! I want to go and take a look!" Mao Nanbei immediately became interested.
Although she is a sword cultivator, she likes to join in the fun and this is her favorite place to go.
Lu Xun smiled, then turned to look at Lin Chan.
"I wonder if Xiao Chan'er, who was born with a sword fetus, will gain anything from observing the boundary monument?" he thought to himself.

…
The southwestern region of Tianchen Continent, the Ink Sea.
The Ink Sea is vast and boundless, and is one of the most mysterious places in the entire Tianchen Continent.
According to legend, there are relics left over from ancient times in many places on the seabed.
Of course, the mysterious seabed also holds endless dangers.
At this time, a huge black snake was swimming on the sea. On the head of the black snake sat a man covered in a cloak.
His exposed hands were so skinny that they could be described as skin and bones.
There are still many age spots on the skin on the back of my hands, and the skin is already wrinkled.
Having said that, it can be seen that the fingers are still very slender.
I think when this body was young, these should have been a pair of beautiful hands.
The man sitting on the black snake's head slowly took off the hood of his cloak, revealing his silver-white hair and his old face.
He has only one eye, and his left eye is blind.
The backlash suffered when being blind during a divination.
But the strangest thing was that his only remaining right eye was so clean, clear and bright.
Such eyes should not appear on an old man who looks to be in his 80s.
The eyes of the elderly are usually cloudy, and eyes like these have too strong a youthful feel.
And the reason is simple.
He was not an old man at all, he was just an old boy.
He is only seventeen and a half years old.
The old boy sat there quietly, gazing into the distance.
He loves the sea and is fascinated by it, and he never gets tired of looking at it.
At this time, a strong wind blew in the air.
A huge figure was reflected on the sea. It was a creature that looked somewhat similar to a mantis, but it was magnified countless times and was about ten meters long.
It was dark blue in color all over, and it had two huge sickles in its hands.
And on the body of this monster, stood a man with a feminine appearance.
He jumped off the monster and came to the top of the black snake's head. Then he bowed to the old boy and said, "Greetings, Master Priest."
The old young man who was called the priest nodded slightly and said, "Here I come."
The feminine man looked at the priest's empty left eye, and said with a complex tone, with emotions such as heartache and anger, "Master Priest, are your eyes... okay?"
"It doesn't matter. I'm not completely blind, right?" The old boy waved his hand and didn't take it to heart.
The feminine man did not speak, because he knew very well that the high priest had this kind of personality, optimistic and open-minded by nature, and there seemed to be no negative energy in him.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "Master Priest, what did you predict that day that caused you to suffer such a severe backlash?"
The old boy replied: "I only saw a pair of eyes, a pair of very calm eyes. Just by looking into his eyes, my left eye became like this."
He continued, "Those eyes gave me the feeling of... That's it. I won't say such disrespectful words to you."
The old boy remembered those three narrow eyes.
The calm eyes he saw when he was fortune-telling were very similar to the three eyes they believed in.
They are all like gods high above!
This was not something that could be glimpsed at his level.
He glanced at the feminine man and asked, "Yin Tian, why did you come to see me?"
The man named Yin Tian said, "I am here to say goodbye to the Master Priest."
The old boy was slightly stunned and asked: "The Second Priest... chose you?"
"Yes, the [Second Priest] sent me to carry out this mission." Yin Tian said.
"It's too risky. If it's just for testing, there's no need to do such a risky thing." said the old boy.
However, even though they were both priests, he could not stop the orders of the second priest.
"Don't worry, Master Priest. The target of the mission named Lu Xun is just a cultivator of the second or third realm. I will not take action in Xizhou. I will wait until he leaves Xizhou." Yin Tian said.
Then he added: "Unless I encounter a great practitioner of the eighth realm, otherwise, with my strength, there won't be any problem."
He is still very confident in his own abilities.
"But what if your attempt really alarmed that gentleman?" asked the priest.
"It's nothing more than a death. In this way, at least the high priest and the second priest can estimate the strength of the legendary gentleman through calculation." Yin Tian looked deeply at the old boy and said.
To be precise, he went there seeking death. He was a chess piece chosen by the second priest.
A chess piece used to irritate the gentleman and then deduce his approximate strength from the side.
According to legend, this unknown man, called Mr., is very likely the strongest person in Tianchen Continent. How strong he is will be very important information.
Now, they have a careful plan, and Yin Tian has already prepared himself mentally.
The old boy sighed, turned his head and looked at the ink sea that seemed calm but was actually turbulent, and remained speechless for a long time.
