Chapter 307 - All Things As Swords! (Part 3)

Li Xianyi was silent for a moment. Fate was not on his side after all.

Lu Shu suddenly said, “I heard from Xiaoyu, the Heavenly Network promised that if you get hold of the Treasure of Heaven and Earth, they would deliver to you?”

Li Xianyi shook his head, “You don’t have to worry about such stuff.”

However, it was at this moment that they both heard footsteps coming from the alleyway, solid and heavy.

The two of them looked towards the alley. Just nice, to see Li Yixiao giving a smile, “All here. Hmm, what is that nice smell…”

“None of your business,” Li Xianyi said gruffly. He was reminded of the things he did in the Laos remains upon seeing the fatty, and anger swelled in him.

“Don’t be angry, today I come for serious business.” Li Yixiao fished out from his pocket a jade container and placed it in his hand, “The stinky priest came and chatted with me for one whole day, then passed this box to me, saying it’s Lu Shu’s. He had discussed with Nie Ting, this thing should be returned to its owner now. Lu Shu should know what’s inside. As for how should it be used, the Heavenly Network doesn’t care.”

Lu Shu was stunned. He had of course seen this box before. Chen Baili had placed the thing inside right in front of him.

But why did he want to pass it to Lu Shu?

Li Xianyi smiled, “No need to try, Lu Shu, you eat it yourself.”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. Chen Baili had not kept it for himself, nor give it to Li Xianyi, and the whole episode concluded with the item back with its owner.

This fruit was very important to anyone, not only to veterans like Li Xianyi and Chen Baili whose foundation were weakened. It could raise somebody’s capabilities directly.

In the eyes of the Heavenly Network, Lu Shu was a Daoyuan class student highly worthy of cultivation. However, his capabilities were too inferior. It was so poor that he had to rely solely on Awakening to raise his level.

On the other hand, Li Xianyi needed the fruit urgently. In fact, many predicted that should Li Xianyi consume the fruit, this world would gain another Class A master.

Lu Shu and Li Xianyi had never divulged to the public that they were now almost as close as kins. Of course, they were not kins yet, still not at that stage.

But how could the Heavenly Network not know about the situation. One must know that when Shi Xuejin came, Li Xianyi was then helping Lu Xiaoyu with her homework.

Now that the Heavenly Network passed the refresher Fruit into Lu Shu’s hands, it was either so that he could consume it himself to enhance his capabilities and be of great help to the Network in the future, or so that Lu Shu could let Li Xianyi eat it and become a Class A.

This was also something the Heavenly Network had promised Li Xianyi earlier.

This was a matter of choice. Nie Ting was a open-minded person, to the point that he could use such as important fruit to test Lu Shu’s character. Or perhaps he truly did not wish for Li Xianyi to have it and wanted Lu Shu to eat the fruit?

Nobody could ever guess what was going on in the mind of the Heavenly King. Only Shi Xuejin knew. Previously, the claim that once the Treasure of Heaven and Earth was found, it would be given to Li Xianyi was a decision made by Nie Ting.

Lu Shu sighed. The grown-ups’ world is truly complicated. Yes , he was now just a seventeen-year-old, still a minor.

To him, this was not a complicated problem at all. The Refresher Fruit was not worth anything at all to him, he was even worried that the Heavenly Network would check his capabilities again… the fact that Lu Shu did not leave a single fruit for himself then, it was precisely because of this reason.

Moreover, the thing was that he was having an abundance of this stuff, converting ten of them every minute. Even if the Heavenly Network did not give Li Xianyi one Refresher Fruit this time, Lu Shu was already thinking of obtaining one for him.

Lu Shu took the jade box and threw it into Li Xianyi’s chest, “Have it, old man. After your promotion to Class A, go overseas and get me some treasures from the remains there. By then, no one would be your match anymore eh?”

Li Xianyi looked at the jade box in his hand, his face emotionless, “No regret?”

“None at all,” Lu Shu grinned and went back into the house to eat his noodles. “Auntie, are the noodles done?”

He walked in only to see Auntie Liu wiping her tears. She turned around and smiled at Lu Shu, “Thank you, my boy.”

Only Auntie Liu knew it best. Li Xianyi needed the fruit to restore his foundation and without it, he would not last much longer.

“Don’t mention it,” Lu Shu sat beside the table and waited along with Lu Xiaoyu for the egg soup noodles…

Li Yixiao looked at him and smiled, “You are one lucky old man.”

Li Xianyi looked at the jaded box in his hand, silent.

“How about this? If you don’t want, can give it to me. My capability is quite ordinary actually…”

“Scram.”

Li Xianyi opened the jade box and looked at the fruit within. Having lived for over eight decades, he was certain he could feel whether Lu Shu was sincere in giving it to him.

Only thing is, this was too big a favour.

Cautiously, he picked up the reddish fruit and popped it into his mouth. The Refresher Fruit melted in his mouth and the warmth coursed through his body into all his bones.

In a split second, all metallic object in a ten li radius, covering half of the Luo Cheng city centre, started to hum. The leaves in the yard became sharp, just like swords out of their sheaths!

All things as swords!

Li Yixiao saw it and trembled. He quickly shouted, “Restrain yourself, old man. This is the city, don’t make the buildings collapse!”

However, the humming stopped and everything went back to their original state. Luo Cheng was about to return to its tranquil state when the humming of the sword let to another round of ruckus. No one knew what was happening.

An immensely strong beam of sword energy shot up into the sky. It was as if a sword had cut through the fog in the sky and clashed open a swathe of starry night!

Li Yixiao asked cautiously, “Class A now?!”

Li Xianyi nodded, the corner of his eye betraying a smile, “Get going, the noodles are ready.”

“Not inviting me in for noodles? I was the one to deliver the stuff here?!” Li Yixiao said in anger.

A blaze of sword energy slashed across the space right in front of Li Yixiao, leaving him utterly cluesless where did it come from. Li Xianyi was obviously walking back towards the house…

“So what if you don’t treat me!” Li Yixiao fumed and backed away…

On his way back to the house, Li Xianyi was thinking how should he express his thanks to Lu Shu. Words seemed difficult to be uttered. However, he only just stepped into the house when Lu Shu walked up and asked, “Old man, what should be done after Energy Sea Snowy Mountain coalesces?”

Li Xianyi was stunned for a moment, “Your Energy Sea is already opened? Snowy Mountain formed so quickly?”

In the book passed down by the ancestors, it was stated that after the rivers collect to form sea, once the Energy Sea is opened, the seawater in the vast Energy Sea would churn wildly, the Snowy Mountain would be extensive and mind swords would stand like mountains reaching towards the clouds.

This meant that once the rivers collect to form sea, there will be Snowy Mountain once there is Energy Sea. If the Energy Sea opened before the stage whereby rivers collect to form sea is achieved, one then has to slowly stock up to form Snowy Mountain.

He remembered that when Lu Shu left a little over ten days ago, it was still a gathering streams into river stage. How could he have already opened the Energy Sea and also have Snowy mountain so quickly?
