At this very moment, Lu Xun already cursed at the game countless times inside his mind.
Wasn’t it just a button to level up? Why was there torture?
At first, he felt warm, moist, comfortable, and satisfied.
But later on, he felt like his entire body was about to explode.
It didn’t fit at all!
Fortunately, at a certain critical point. The small sword inside his Heart of the Sword finally successfully solidified.
Once Lu Xun sensed the small sword inside his body, he felt a sense of disparity.
After all, he had once wielded large rods. If he were given a gorgeous long sword, then he might be able to accept it a little better. But what the hell was this small light sword like a short and thin needle inside the Heart of the Sword?
‘Truly, as long as one is willing to put enough time and energy, even a metal rod could be ground into a needle.’ Lu Xun thought.
“So… the Sword Nurturing Technique produces a small sword inside the Heart of the Sword? This is a little interesting.” Lu Xun didn’t know for now that he walked down a narrow path.
Although his current experience value dropped from over 10,000 to 650, he didn’t have the slightest bit of regret.
This was an orange-grade skill! A paragon skill in the lands of Heavenly Earth!
Although he temporarily didn’t know exactly why the Sword Nurturing Technique was strong, it definitely was absolutely flipping incredible.
“I should ask the lolita and Second Senior Sister later. I’ll need to strive to adapt to the small sword inside my body.”
After Lu Xun took a long sigh of relief, his tense body started to relax. And then, he slowly opened his eyes.
Normally, inside the novels, a flash of sharp and chilling light of the sort would gleam by the eyes. However, he didn’t experience it…
Apart from being overly handsome, he was rather ordinary, seemingly no different from before.
Cat Southnorth walked in front of Lu Xun in a hurry, her two small hands going all over his body. She asked in a concerned and anxious manner, “Little Junior Brother, do you feel anything off with your body?”
She was truly scared that before Sir returned to the sect, she would break Little Junior Brother due to her own negligence. That would truly be a sin!
“Not to mention, the food Little Junior Brother cooks is so delicious. I can’t lose him!”
Lu Xun met Cat Southnorth’s gaze, he shook his head and responded, “No, nothing, is there a problem Fourth Senior Sister?”
“Good, good! You’re truly fortunate and blessed with nine lives!” She let out a long sigh of relief before patting Lu Xun on the shoulders.
With that said, she asked while having a lingering fear, “Little Junior Brother, you hastily cultivated it earlier and probably failed, right? It’s pretty good that you didn’t suffer any backfire!”
“I’m telling you, the Sword Nurturing Technique is the finest technique and needs to be comprehended slowly. Under the circumstances that you haven’t completely and thoroughly comprehended it, you must remember at all costs not to cultivate it, or else something terrible will happen!”
She pointed at the two golden bells on her wrist and continued, “Look, besides, you don’t even have this kind of natal treasure. Even if you cultivated it, you wouldn’t achieve any results.”
Lu Xun listened intently from the start. But later on, he felt that something was wrong.
‘A natal treasure?’
‘Meaning, I still need a suitable sword?’
He started to fall into disarray. After organizing his words, he said, “Fourth Senior Sister, I successfully cultivated it earlier. But hearing your words… It seems I failed.”
‘It’s over… weren’t these 10,000 plus points of experience value spent for nothing?’
‘But the system clearly marked it as upgradeable!’
‘Damned system! I forcibly upgraded it?’
…
…
Clearly, Cat Southnorth exuded an unreliable temperament both inside and out. Therefore, she grabbed Lu Xun and rushed towards the bamboo forest.
Inside the bamboo forest, the Second Senior Sister sat on the large rock as she listened to Cat Southnorth and Lu Xun’s account, her expression turned grave again.
No matter whether it was Second Senior Sister or Cat Southnorth, both of them felt a little incredulous inside.
Second Senior Sister was also cultivating the Sword Nurturing Technique while Cat Southnorth used knives. She could be considered to be cultivating the Knife Nurturing Technique.
The two of them clearly knew that this technique wasn’t so easily learned nor could it be comprehended so easily.
However, Lu Xun did certainly cultivate the Sword Nurturing Technique—this was undoubtable. But… he really seemed to have taken the wrong path!
Now, what remains to be seen was exactly to what degree on how bent he was, and whether or not there was a chance to bend him back straight.
With the slight wave of the sleeve of Second Senior Sister’s wide Daoist robe, Lu Xun was propped up by a stream of air. He was then suspended while cross-legged in the air in front of Second Senior Sister.
Previously, he at most saw Second Senior’s back view with an occasional part of a side view. And now, this was the first time he’d come this close face-to-face.
How should he put it… Second Senior Sister’s face was consistent with the feeling that she gave people as a whole—meager.
It wasn’t the kind of skinny face that wasn’t good looking. On the contrary, Second Senior Sister gave people a unique feeling, somewhat like plum blossoms on a snowfield in winter.
Her eyebrows were very thin and her lips were also slightly thin. On top of a skinny face, she seemed to reach a certain extreme. If her eyebrows were a little thinner, or if her lips were a little thinner, and even if her face was a little skinnier, she wouldn’t be beautiful. But now, it was just right.
However, Lu Xun still felt that Second Senior Sister was too skinny. If her face could be a tiny bit rounder and smoother, she would probably look better.
Her looks and temperament alone gave people a distant feeling. It was also because she emitted a sliver of frigidity inside and out. However, Lu Xun could see the traces of concern in her eyes.
She also sensed that Lu Xun was sizing her up, so she said while stuttering, “C-close… your eyes, c-calm… your mind!”
Second Senior Sister seemed to be a bit annoyed.
Lu Xun obediently closed his eyes and then calmed his mind.
Second Senior Sister’s divine sense started to probe the changes that had happened to him; Lu Xun’s body had no abnormalities.
The Heart of the Sword was located near the Sea of Qi, it was the most mysterious place for cultivators. No matter how profound the cultivation of a cultivator was, they would be unable to investigate other people’s Sea of Qi as they pleased. Thus, the Heart of the Sword was obstructed by the Sea of Qi. Because of this, it was difficult for the divine sense to be searched out.
Since his body and cultivation had no complications, then what had to be seen was exactly what changed within Lu Xun’s Heart of the Sword.
Since her divine sense couldn’t explore there, Second Senior Sister took off her sword, the wooden hairpin inserted in her hair!
Her right hand waved in the air, as the wooden hairpin flew between her and Lu Xun, it then transformed into a wooden sword.
When the wooden hairpin separated, Second Senior Sister’s long hair draped over her shoulders, drifting with the wind. It added a little gentleness and beauty to her frigid face.
Unfortunately, because Lu Xun had his eyes closed right now, he wasn’t able to see this.
The moment her slender fingers formed a sword seal, the wooden sword let out a light sword cry.
It was obvious that the wooden sword already had quite a lot of spirituality.
At this moment, the small sword inside Lu Xun’s Heart of the Sword trembled a little, as if it had been provoked!
‘A sword hidden in the heart?’ Second Senior Sister thought.
She could almost be certain that Lu Xun’s Sword Nurturing Technique technique was indeed cultivated successfully, he truly had learned it at an elementary level.
However, since he still didn’t have a natal sword, there was some deviation.
It was reasonable to say that… this result shouldn’t have been so.
How could the human body be nurtured as a sword?
Unless… this Little Junior Brother of theirs truly had that legendary constitution!
Previously, when he took a single glance at the half of the sword qi inside Greeting Peak, from that, he managed to solidify the Heart of the Sword. No matter whether it was Shen Yan or Second Senior Sister, both of them assumed that direction.
Now, with a sword hidden in the heart, this meant that he would nurture the sword with the body. This was more or less confirmed now!
Second Senior Sister couldn’t help but blurt out, “Natural… Natural Sword Constitution!”
