“So, that seemingly fragile broken sword came with a skill book?”

Upon hearing the master’s words, Lu Xun slightly got surprised.

Theoretically, when a magical weapon reaches the blue level, it will possess special skills. Lu Xun’s sword sheath, for example, has two special abilities: [Sword Sealing] and [Gather Qi].

The special skills come from the spirit of the magical weapon and are derived from the spirit’s abilities.

The sword sheath has the ability to sheath a sword tightly, which grants it the skill [Sword Sealing]. Also, it excels in enhancing Sword Qi, hence the skill [Gather Qi].

Lin Chan’s partridge sky sword may also originally have special skills, maybe, more than one. However, due to the sword being broken and the Sword Spirit being ill, the special skills have either dissipated or, given the current condition of the Sword Spirit, are probably unusable.

Therefore, even though the Partridge Sky Sword still has a superior blue Martial level, it temporarily lacks special skills.

However, a sword concealing a sword technique doesn’t seem to be a fresh plot, Lu Xun had come across similar content in countless martial-arts novels before and didn’t expect the Partridge Sky sword to harbor such a mystery.

The Partridge Sky is the legacy of the master’s old friend, and based on the quest reward given by the [Guide], this sword must have been fierce!

The sword technique within the sword should be top-notch, definitely won’t be of a low level!

“Say… if I practice my disciple’s swordsmanship, there wouldn’t be any problem, right?” Lu Xun thought to himself.

“Little Chan is innocent, has just started practicing, and not like me who uses plugins. I don’t covet her skills, I just want to explore the path for her so she wouldn’t take the wrong one.” Lu Xun felt reasonable as he thought like that.

All for her good.

Wow, such strong teacher and student affection is about to overflow!

However, listening to the master, it seems that there’s a big problem with this sword technique.

Lu Xun was about to ask a question when Mao Nanbei took the lead.

She put down the large bowl in her little hand and asked, “Dominating? Just how dominating? Are you saying this sword technique is more dominating than my double-edged sword?”

The little kitty who always sees herself as a “tiger” can’t handle the word dominating.

The master chuckled, stretching out his hand to fondle Mao Nanbei’s cat ears, Mao Nanbei directly avoided it.

She was over a hundred years old and didn’t like being fondled. In fact, she even suspected that her lack of growth was because the master enjoyed rubbing her head in earlier years!

Seeing Mao Nanbei avoiding him, the master didn’t care and said, “Look at this sword; it has even broken itself. How dominating is that?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun’s mouth twitched slightly.

Upon hearing this, it does seem quite dominating…

But then he thought about it, he was a Non-Swordbearer, he didn’t have a sword to break.

The master seemed to have seen through Lu Xun’s thoughts, “Don’t think too much about it. You don’t have a sword in your hands. Therefore, your Sword Heart and body will bear the backlash, and if you are not careful, you might die.”

Lu Xun’s mouth twitched even more.

F*ck, what sword technique is this, Qishang Fist? It harms the enemy one thousand and self eight hundred?

What they meant was… since I am the sword, if it breaks, it means I am breaking myself?

I can’t handle this, I can’t handle this.

“Eh! Wait a minute! I still have two lives left!” Lu Xun suddenly remembered this detail.

In desperate situations, there should be no problem with self-destructing once, right? After all, it’s a desperate situation, it’s quite reasonable to turn the game around with a self-destruction!

The master turned around and said to Lin Chan, “Three times.”

He stretched out four fingers, then tugged down his disobedient pinkie finger, “Given the current state of Partridge Sky, it can only bear three backlashes for you.”

“After using it three times, the Partridge Sky will completely become a useless sword.” the Master continued, “However, if you nourish it slowly with the Sword Cultivating Technique, it could be a remedy. If it’s not necessary within these years, don’t use it. Once it recovers a bit, things will be much better.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chan nodded seriously.

Meanwhile, Lu Xun was considering if he had the opportunity in the future, he’d want to restore the Partridge Sky.

Since it needs such a long time to nurture it with the Sword Cultivating Technique, who knows how long it would take.

Although the blue-level Repair Rune from the quest reward is ineffective on the Partridge Sky, what if it’s a purple level?

Even if the purple level is also ineffective, there’s still a chance to acquire an orange level, right?

The future is uncertain, he just needs to keep an eye out.

As for using such valuable items on Lin Chan, would it be heartbreaking…

Of course not, this is my darling disciple, and I’m more than willing!

Lu Xun looked at the master and said, “Master, since this sword technique cannot be used daily, won’t Little Chan have no means to defend herself when facing enemies on a regular basis?”

The subtext was that one sword technique is not enough; master, you should teach her another one for daily use.

It’d be best if it’s something I could learn as well, hehehe!

The master was somewhat frustrated, really wanting to pick up his chopstick and smack Lu Xun’s head. He said, “First, pass your Ancient Water Sword Formation to Little Chan. After you two finish this experience trial and return to the mountain, I will then teach you.”.

“Do not be overly ambitious on the path of cultivation!” the master solemnly said.

Perhaps the master was reminded of something; he added, “At least, Little Chan can’t be.”.

“Yes,” Lu Xun obediently nodded, “Disciple understands.”.

He was, of course, good at handling situations.

Speaking of which, although the Ancient Five Elements Formation is at the purple level, the stand-alone Water Sword Formation is at a blue level and is completely enough for Little Chan’s daily use.

Everyone had finished the plain noodles cooked by Lu Xun. Third elder brother, Zhuge Lai Fu, said with a smile, “Little Junior Brother, remember to visit me before you leave the mountain. I have some things prepared for you.”.

The second elder sister who was sitting on the stone also stuttered, “Also…also come to the…the bamboo…bamboo forest.”.

It seems that the second elder sister also has something for Lu Xun.

Mao Nanbei glanced at the second elder sister, then turned her attention to the third elder brother, feeling a little lost.

Why do both of you have something for Little Junior Brother! What about me as the fourth elder sister!?

The second elder sister is highly skilled, overly strong.

The third elder brother is rich, freakishly rich.

The things they prepared, definitely won’t be poor.

And me, Mao Nanbei, apart from being cute, there’s nothing else.

Should I let Little Junior Brother pat my head before he leaves the mountain?

One pet on the kitty head, and all worries will subside!

Wait a minute! As an elder sister, how could I sell my body! It’s totally out of style!

Mao Nanbei’s big eyes circled around, and her heart immediately had an idea.

She stood up, very confidently said, “Little Junior Brother, remember to find me before you leave the mountain. I’ve also prepared a gift for you, a super good one!”

After that, she seemed to feel that one “super good” wasn’t enough to describe it, so she added, “Super, super!”
