“I think this spirit crow is broken,”
Thought Lu Xun as he stared at the dim-witted spirit crow before him, seriously considering whether to transform it into a dish or not.
“Other spirit crows och’ and chaw. Even though it’s rather relentless and droning, at least it’s still tolerable.
But this one starts squawking ‘This sucks’ and ‘Gan Linliang’ all the time!
If I take it back home, will my master lose his temper?”
These are regional slangs, people on the Heavenly Dust Continent probably wouldn’t understand.
But there is this incredible thing about human interactions. When some invectives are thrown around, you might not understand them, but you will feel that they are offensive.
And people are usually quick learners when it comes to offensive language.
Remember back in primary school, failing an English exam but quickly picking up common expletives?
Especially after the official game launch, players would become unrestrained. Speaking your mind without regard becomes commonplace.
Each and every one of these ‘gracious and pleasant’ players could curse your whole family to the skies and leave you an orphan.
Over time, this might even evolve into a ‘culture invasion’ on the Heavenly Dust Continent.
Player trash talk will rapidly gain popularity on the Heavenly Dust Continent, and the prospect of this happening is delightfully amusing.
So, what will become of a spirit crow squawking expletives like ‘This sucks,’ ‘Gan Linliang,’ and ‘What the hell’?
Having imagined such a scene, Lu Xun surmised it would result in… Mad players finding this crow incredibly cute!
Actually… that seems very likely;
Lu Xun turned to look at the spirit crow perched on his shoulder, and gave a wriy smile, “I just hope you won’t tarnish the glorious image of [Purple Palace] that I’ve painstakingly created.”
“This sucks! This sucks!” The spirit crow began squawking once more.
“Forget it, it’s just a dimwit now. I’ll properly discipline it once its spiritual wisdom is fully awakened,” Lu Xun’s mouth twitched slightly as he said to himself in resignation.
Originally, they wouldn’t have lingered in this small town for long, but because of a special reason, they decided to stay for a few more days.
—Lin Chan was about to make a breakthrough!
Even before this, Lin Chan had already attained great perfection in the Qi Consumption Technique.
Her ‘strange illness’ had been suppressed by the master, and now that she was on the verge of a breakthrough, she could recover on her own.
More precisely, the chilling air in her body would be absorbed and digested by her spiritual power.
This was the price that came with having a natural sword embryo. Ye Sui’an’s Innate Sword Body wouldn’t have this kind of refinement exercise.
As for Lu Xun’s fake Sword Embryo, it’s not even worth mentioning, but with his special constitution, even his Qi Sea is black, so nobody would delve too deep into this.
At this moment, Lin Chan was undergoing a breakthrough inside the house. Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei were standing guard outside.
Lu Xun had the spirit crow strapped shut to prevent its big mouth from disturbing Little Chan’s progress.
This silly crow didn’t fuss and just stood there, its gaze empty as it looked ahead.
Ye Sui’an sat by Lu Xun’s side, glanced into the house, and began, “Elder Lu, I seek guidance on a matter.”
“Go ahead,” said Lu Xun.
“Elder Lu, is Miss Lin Chan, like you, also of a natural sword embryo?” Ye Sui’an asked earnestly.
“Oh? You noticed?” Lu Xun didn’t deny it.
But… is Lin Chan your sister to be trifled with?
Young man, mind your words. Don’t think that just because you’re the world’s protagonist, I won’t take you down.
Ye Sui’an gave a slight nod and spoke up again, “Over the past few days, I’ve been observing Miss Lin Chan’s cultivation. Setting aside her cultivation base, in the art of the sword alone, she is much superior to what I was. It must be the same as Elder Lu, a natural sword embryo, right?”
Lu Xun didn’t really listen to the rest of Ye Sui’an’s words, his mind was consumed by the first sentence.
“What! He has been observing my Little Chan for several days!” Lu Xun was furious.
If not for Lin Chan’s breakthrough, Lu Xun would definitely have pulled Ye Sui’an to one side for a serious talk.
Just as Lu Xun’s thoughts began to derail, Mao Nanbei whispered, “She’s on the brink of her final breakthrough!”
Lu Xun nodded, then opened the interface of the Guide Mission on his own, where he could check the general condition of Little Chan.
Lin Chan should be practicing the cultivation technique that the teacher had taught her right now. Once she mastered it, she would be able to break through to the Initial Realm.
And once she reached the Initial Realm, she could start learning the swordsmanship hidden within the Broken Sword.
According to the teacher’s description, within the Broken Sword Partridge Sky, there was a Sword of the Absolute World Hegemon!
If it could bear such a high praise from the teacher, it must be extremely formidable.
“She’s reached a breakthrough!” Lu Xun, looking at the Guide Mission interface, saw Lin Chan’s character level had officially reached Level 11.
But Little Chan wouldn’t come out so soon, she needed to digest for a while, transforming her spiritual power into water attribute spiritual power.
Among Lin Chan’s Five Elements, she was most proficient in water, thanks to her extraordinary talent, the cultivation technique taught by the teacher was a water-based cultivation technique.
What surprised Lu Xun was that when Lin Chan broke through to the Initial Realm, the Guide Mission rewarded him with 10,000 experience points.
Though not much, it was a delightful gain nonetheless.
Another hour passed before Little Mute came out of the house.
Lin Chan’s complexion had drastically improved. After her breakthrough to the Initial Realm, the “strange disease” that the teacher suppressed was completely cured. A subtle change occurred in her as a whole, or rather, a complete transformation had taken place.
The young girl’s skin was as white as snow, especially striking against her black dress.
The waist of the black dress was slightly cinched, outlining her slender waist.
The girl’s figure was exquisite, no longer the frail figure as she was when they first met.
But what stood out most about Lin Chan was her aura.
She was very pure and clean, both in her gaze and expression, giving a sense of purity.
A pure girl without any flirtatiousness, but this purity, was sometimes the biggest attraction.
“This is far from the poor girl I picked up.” Lu Xun laughed and thought.
“Had a breakthrough? Was the process smooth?” Lu Xun asked.
“Mmhmm!” Lin Chan nodded firmly, answering in her heart.
“My Little Chan is really amazing.” Lu Xun praised with a smile.
As for her own progress in strength, Lin Chan was joyous, and receiving praise from her master filled her with even more joy.
Frankly speaking, Lin Chan did desire to become stronger.
If she became stronger, she would be in a better position to help her master in the future.
Everyone had their own motivations for training.
And for Lin Chan, besides curing her “strange disease”, her biggest motivation or rather, all her motivations, came from her master.
The world was not kind to her, fortunately, she had a new world.
Her world was Lu Xun.
Since Lin Chan had a breakthrough, Lu Xun untied the cloth around the mouth of Spirit Crow.
Gladly, it only squawked twice. If it started with the phrase “cocky”, Lu Xun would definitely slap it unconscious.
Ye Sui’an showed some discretion at this time. He knew that at times like this, the teacher and the disciple would usually discuss things about cultivation, and as an outsider, it was inappropriate for him to listen.
So, he rose to his feet and said, “Elder Lu, the night wind is gentle; the moon is high in the sky, I’ll take a walk outside.”
Lu Xun nodded, then beckoned Lin Chan to come and sit next to him.
After Ye Sui’an left, Lu Xun spoke.
“Little Chan, bring out the Partridge Sky for a look.”
Lin Chan obediently darted into the house, her ponytail bobbing left and right, and she brought out the Broken Sword.
If you look carefully, it was not hard to notice that compared to before, the Broken Sword Partridge Sky also had some significant changes.
