Chapter 291: 291, Ah Wei Died Again
The Broken Sword Partridge Sky, named by the teacher, is the sword of his old friend.

The precise level is unknown, but even after it shattered and the Sword Spirit was hanging on by a thread, it remained at the Superior Blue Level.

Lu Xun inferred from the Guide quest that this broken sword, at its peak, was no less inferior to The Sword Qi is Near.

The only pity… it’s recovering too slowly!

Several years had passed since Lin Chan obtained the broken sword at Hidden Mountain.

She had been practicing the Sword Cultivating Technique daily, nurturing Partridge Sky with her own Spiritual Power. All these years, aside from the rust on the sword’s surface completely disappearing, the recovery of the Sword Spirit is almost non-existent.

The Sword Spirit of the broken sword, which was left with only a breath, had recovered only enough to utter a last word before death.

Lu Xun even doubted that if Lin Chan stopped using the Sword Cultivating Technique to sustain its life for a while, it might die at any moment.

When he had completed a task previously, Lu Xun received a Blue Level Equipment Repair Coupon which could restore the durability of equipment to its full value, but it was ineffective for Partridge Sky.

Therefore, when he saw the Sword Spirit Remnant in the wooden box, he was truly elated!

He would do everything within his power to acquire anything that could help his precious disciple!

Moreover, he still has the Guide quest. As the man behind the World Protagonist Lin Chan, as long as he could enhance Lin Chan’s strength, he would receive ample task rewards.

Pampering his dear disciple and reaping benefits at the same time brought him double joy!

Now, the pressing matter is to figure out whether this naive Boundary Monument with the Spiritual Wisdom of a child can consent to him taking this box.

And whether the Sword Spirit Remnant in the box can be stored once taken out of the Boundary Monument.

Seeing that Lu Xun remained unmoved by its “delicious dish” after a long while, the Boundary Monument urged again,”Eat it, eat it!”

It was too enthusiastic…

Lu Xun spoke, “Since you’ve invited me to eat, we’re friends from now on.”

“Okay!” The Boundary Monument seemed overly cheerful.

Lu Xun had planned to trick it with words. The Boundary Monument didn’t appear to be very smart, and he was confident that he could easily take it down by acting the bad uncle using some underhanded techniques!

But surprisingly, he somehow asked spontaneously, “I’ve been curious for a while, am I the only one who can communicate with you after all these years?”

The innocently straightforward Boundary Monument naturally answered every question, it naively said, “Yes!”

“So, I didn’t guess wrong.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

Because he felt that the Boundary Monument was too happy. It was almost bubbling with joy when it got a chance to interact and communicate with him!

He didn’t have the heart to trick it.

When a child hands you her favorite candy, you can’t deceive her.

He spoke truthfully, “Actually, I can’t eat this. I know I don’t look human, but the truth is, I am not a sword.”

Damn, he felt as if he was scolding himself.

“Eh!!!??” It expressed surprise, then fell silent, appearing somewhat lost.

This was its most cherished treasure, but the new friend could not enjoy it.

Lu Xun continued, “I have a disciple whose sword is not in good condition. This thing could help it, would you let me take it?”

“Okay!” The Boundary Monument answered almost instantly, without any hesitation.

This surprised Lu Xun a little. It seemed that the Boundary Monument was even friendlier than he had imagined….

Lu Xun asked, “Do I need to add a seal to it? If I take it away like this, will the stuff inside disappear?”

“Let me do it!” After the Boundary Monument’s reply, a ray of cyan light immediately shone on the wooden box, and sealed it.

Then, a cyan mark appeared on Lu Xun’s hand, which was the key to opening the wooden box.

“Thank you.” Lu Xun spoke before putting the wooden box into his storage ring.

Then, he took a seat right there on the ground.

“You…Are you not going?” The Boundary Monument asked cautiously.

It was under the impression that Lu Xun would leave immediately after taking the box.

“Of course I have to go eventually, but I want to keep you company a little longer.” Lu Xun said with a smile.

He has brought up a younger sister, and deep down he is rather gentle.

“My name is Lu Xun, do you have a name?” He asked.

“There isn’t any…” The Boundary Monument replied.

“Then I shall name you.” said Lu Xun.

“Okay!” It immediately brimmed with joy.

Seeing its vivacious attitude, Lu Xun, amused by its frequent usage of “da”, suggested, “How about…Dida?”

“Sure!” Dida excitedly said.

It seemed extraordinarily elated because after having Spiritual Wisdom for so long, it finally had its own name!

While residing in the Boundary Monument, Lu Xun speculated that the Boundary Monument was a gift left by the founding ancestor of Sword Mountain for the future Sword Cultivators.

“The meaning of ‘Eternal Glory of Swordsmanship,’ I think I roughly understand it now.” He muttered internally.

He admired such grandeur.

Lu Xun spent an entire day within the Boundary Monument.

Hey, from an outsider’s perspective, I have entered and never come out. They must think I am very persevering, right?

During this day, he mainly chatted with the Boundary Monument.

He would tell stories to Dida, which it listened to very attentively, and occasionally asked, “And then?”

For it, today must be the happiest day since its birth.

For the first time after spending so many years in loneliness, it had someone to communicate with. This was a unique feeling.

Unfortunately, Lu Xun could not stay here all the time, but he promised Dida that whenever he came to West State, he would come to see it.

And he would say goodbye to it before leaving West State.

Although the Boundary Monument was reluctant, it did not try to retain him, nor did it have the intention to trap him here to chat with it for life.

Perhaps since the beginning when this Boundary Monument was established, the initial intention was to benefit all the Sword Cultivators, so it had an giving personality?

Fortunately, although Lu Xun was a bit silly in daily life, he was not an ungrateful person. He would keep his promise and visit it occasionally.

Before leaving, Lu Xun took another look inside the Boundary Monument, suddenly feeling as if he had overlooked something.

After contemplating for a moment, he finally realized!

“I was so absorbed in talking to Dida that I almost forgot something!”

As is widely known, the name of Sword Mountain Elder’s sword is called Divine Sword, which is presently in the hands of Swordsman Ping Shanhai.

Aside from a notch found at the body of the Divine Sword, the Sword Spirit must be fine. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have attained such a high level of Superior Purple Level.

So, where does this Sword Spirit Remnant found within the box come from?

It probably has nothing to do with the Divine Sword.

What is its relationship with Sword Mountain Elder?

Lu Xun asked Dida, but the naïvely innocent Dida of course knew nothing.

Lu Xun did not think much about it, he was just a bit curious.

It was time to leave.

He waved in mid-air to bid farewell.

The Boundary Monument then teleported him out.

After Lu Xun left, this place once again fell into silence.

Lucky for it, it had long been accustomed to this, and was still immersed in the joy of having a name.

It kept murmuring words that others couldn’t hear:

“Dida! Dida! Dida!”

It found the name more satisfying.

“Sounds good!”
