Inside the Small Study, in Lu Xun’s bedroom.

He stared at the nodding sword sheath, his mouth twitching slightly.

“It really is like this!” He muttered, feeling somewhat speechless.

No wonder, no wonder the sword sheath was willingly taken by me, no wonder its attitude towards me has always been great, no wonder it’s so clingy.

Who would have thought, it’s actually a great foreshadowing!

“When I ascended Dengcang Mountain, the tiny sword in my Sword Heart had already formed.”

“But at that time, there were no obvious changes in my body.”

“Could it be that from that time on, I’d actually embarked on this path of Body Refining Sword?”

“Then why was it only now that the results were showing?”

The more Lu Xun thought about it, the more confused he became.

Feeling his brain in a messy state and his body rigid, he found it hard to adjust for a while.

Thankfully, my skin is still delicate, shiny and elastic, only… immune to weapons!

Had I indeed developed the Indestructible Diamond Body Technique from the show The World’s First, where one’s body becomes like a bronze figure, it would be totally ridiculous.

After adjusting his mindset, Lu Xun sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate the Sword Cultivating Technique.

Since there was a progress bar in the character panel, everything was clear.

Although Lu Xun mostly leveled up his skills with Experience Points, he did practice a few times when he had nothing else to do, so he was thoroughly familiar with it.

After silently cultivating for a while, he clearly felt that the small sword in his Sword Heart had been nourished to a certain degree, but his body… didn’t seem to have changed at all.

He opened the character panel and found that the progress bar had not increased, still staying at the “Intermediate Spiritual Sword: 3%” position.

“What the hell?” Lu Xun was puzzled.

This logic doesn’t make sense!

Could it be that it wasn’t accumulated over time, with help from Big Senior Brother?

Or did Big Senior Brother’s single blow propel me directly from being nothing to an Intermediate Spiritual Sword?

How to explain the observation of the sword sheath and Little Chan?

Could it be that I was innately exuding sword Qi from inside out!?

Lu Xun kept pondering, realizing this problem was beyond him to solve.

He truly didn’t understand.

So he decided to just go to sleep, and he would ask his Master in the morning.

What is a Master for?

Of course, to guide, educate and solve doubts!

If I don’t let him solve some of my doubts, he will seem useless.

He needs to have moments to show off, you know.

“With Master’s great talent, this minor problem of mine, it should be seen through at a glance.” Lu Xun murmured in his heart.

With this positive mindset, Lu Xun quickly fell into a deep sleep, and slept very soundly.

The next morning, Lu Xun woke up early and instinctively began his duties as the main chef of the back mountain.

He cooked some white porridge, made some poached eggs, and griddled a few meat patties.

Both the Master and third Senior Brother, as well as Lin Chan, had the habit of getting up early. The second senior sister might not need sleep as she usually rested on a rock. I’m guessing she just takes power naps.

Mao Nanbei would get up smelling the fragrance.

Sometimes she would still be groggy, following the aroma in her disheveled clothes, barefoot, floating into the kitchen.

At this time, Lu Xun would adjust her clothes while pulling her cat ears to wake her up.

As for the drool at the corner of her mouth, he definitely wouldn’t help her wipe it.

Don’t think that because you’re cute, I won’t find you gross, hmph!

The awakened Mao Nanbei, like a koala, lay on Lu Xun’s shoulder, complaining:

“Little Junior Brother, although I don’t know why you fainted this time, you’re a grown man, can’t you know how to take care of your body? Don’t just faint continuously for seven or eight days!”

“Fourth Senior Sister, if you want sweets, just say so. I’ll make them for you in the afternoon.” While serving porridge to everyone, Lu Xun said with a smile.

“That’s not it, your Senior Sister is concerned about you!”

“So, do you still want the sweets or not?”

“Yes, slurp!”

After having some fun in the kitchen with Mao Nanbei, Lu Xun shouted, “Time to eat!”

Then, he flew towards the bamboo grove.

Soon, everyone from the back mountain gathered in the bamboo grove.

Today, Lu Xun saw his second senior sister sitting high on a stone. She turned her head to look at him several times and seemed to want to say something but always stopped short.

Perhaps she stuttered and didn’t want to speak, or she hadn’t organized her language for a moment.

But clearly, she also noticed the difference in Lu Xun now.

Even though Lu Xun had retracted his aura now, like a longsword back in its sheath, no longer showing off his sharpness, he still couldn’t escape the eyes of his second senior sister.

During breakfast, Lu Xun didn’t discuss serious matters. It seemed like the master didn’t want to bring it up either.

After the meal, Lin Chan took care of the dishes, Lu Xun stood up and said, “Master, I have a doubt in my heart, could you please clear it for me?”

The master had always looked down on him in the past, but today, remarkably, gave Lu Xun a full head-to-toe look.

Still, it seemed he found Lu Xun bothersome and quickly looked away, out of sight, out of mind.

“Follow me,” said the master, getting up and walking forward.

Lu Xun quickly followed.

The master left the bamboo grove and came to the creek outside.

In the small creek, a fish jumped happily, occasionally leaping out of the water, its scales shining spectacularly under the sunlight.

Lu Xun caught it with one hand.

Well, little lively one, I’ll have you for lunch today!

It was an instinct from the back mountain’s cook…

The master, with his back to Lu Xun, looked up at the sky, his hands behind his back, and leisurely said, “Ask.”

Lu Xun didn’t know how to describe it momentarily, so he said broadly, “Master, since I saw the eldest senior brother, my body seems… a bit off.”

How bizarre this sounded.

The master pondered for a moment, then said, “Little Five, are you trying to say that you feel like your body has turned into a sword?”

Lu Xun immediately nodded vigorously, master was indeed a master, he replied, “Yes.”

The master paced around, then crouched down and plucked a white mountain flower.

He held the flower by its stem, spinning it around, yet remaining silent for a long time.

After a while, he finally asked, “Are you unhappy with this current situation?”

“Not exactly,” Lu Xun blurted out.

“So what do you want to ask?” The master continued while looking at the tiny white flower.

After organizing his thoughts, Lu Xun finally said, “Master, I want to know why it has become like this? Also, while I was practicing yesterday, I felt like I wasn’t making any progress.”

“Oh? So that’s what you’re asking.” The master nodded slightly.

Still with his back to Lu Xun, he explained, “Since you started practicing the Sword Cultivating Technique by mistake, you’ve been walking a path no one has ever taken before.”

“Normally, this path would lead nowhere, but because you are… ahem, perhaps because you are unique, although you went astray, it’s not a dead end.”

“With your current state, it’s already the limit to have condensed the Heart Sword in the Sword Heart. As for refining the body to become a sword, you’re not yet capable of doing so.”

“However, these powers have always been stored in various parts of your body. They only need an opportunity to gather and display their due powers.”

Hearing this, Lu Xun furrowed his brows, and tentatively asked, “So… my eldest senior brother provided that opportunity?”

The master nodded, “Your eldest senior brother meant well, intending to give you a hand.”

Impulsively, Lu Xun said, “Master, is there a way for me to gradually harness this power on my own?”

This was his biggest concern. After all, he couldn’t always remain static, seeking his elder brother every five years for a boost, right?

The master shook his head, “No.”

Hearing this, Lu Xun couldn’t help but feel discouraged.

“Do you know why?” the master asked.

“Disciple doesn’t understand,” Lu Xun answered honestly.

The master continued to gaze at the sky, but the words that came out made Lu Xun blush. He boldly revealed his secret:

“Because you’re not a real Natural Sword Embryo!”
