Chapter 351: 351, [Descending the Mountain with Sword] (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Five purple equipment pieces sat atop Hidden Mountain. When Ji Li walked over, she first looked at the peculiar dice, then her gaze was completely drawn to the short sword right in the middle.
There was no other reason except that it was a striking sight!
This sword was slightly shorter compared to the so-called three feet green blade, probably about a quarter shorter than ordinary longswords.
The blade was also somewhat narrow, looking rather slender.
The primary color of the entire sword was silvery white, but at the end of the hilt hung an exquisite tassel, decorated with snowflake-like adornments, along with a small bunch of slender white fringes.
As the wind blew, the white fringes fluttered, creating a quite picturesque scene.
The most attractive part of the sword, however, was the ice-blue gemstone embedded in the blade close to the hilt.
It was only about the size of a fingernail, its luster restrained.
This was a Dragon Yuan from a flood dragon!
This short sword once made Lu Xun covetous beyond words.
Pity that when he touched the sword, he was flung far away.
The sword was named “Wind Stabilizing Wave”!
“It’s so beautiful!” An admirer of beauty exclaimed in amazement.
As she approached, the silvery-white short sword also began emanating consecutive humming sounds.
The humming was more restrained, unlike “The Sword Qi is Near,” which was loud and defiant.
It chose Ji Li.
“This little sister of mine loves beautiful things so much, she would certainly choose it.” Lu Xun thought.
As expected, Ji Li on top of Hidden Mountain tentatively reached out her right hand and grabbed the hilt of the “Wind Stabilizing Wave”.
As her little hand gripped the sword, the humming sound seemed to get slightly louder.
A burst of light enveloped her, and she was transported to the foot of Hidden Mountain.
And the “Wind Stabilizing Wave” was in her hand.
The one who controls the grand waves, wield the “Wind Stabilizing Wave”!
This sword, originally belonging to Yan Li’s primary disciple, Yan Shu, had stayed on Hidden Mountain for a long time.
Finally, it has emerged today!
Ji Li, holding the “Wind Stabilizing Wave,” walked over to Lu Xun. Yue Heshan, standing on the sideline, heaved a sigh looking at the sword, “The big sister’s sword has finally left Hidden Mountain.”
People like Yue Heshan would naturally feel gratified about this.
Claiming a treasure from Hidden Mountain was akin to receiving a legacy.
Yan Shu was their most respected senior sister. The fact her cherished sword found a new suitable owner naturally brought them joy.
“Not bad, you actually got the “Wind Stabilizing Wave”! ” Lu Xun praised.
This sword was of the intermediate purple level, the same tier as Lu Xun’s sword sheath.
Apart from the aloof “The Sword Qi is Near,” left abandoned by its mistress on top of the mountain, this “Wind Stabilizing Wave” was the most powerful sword on Hidden Mountain!
However, Lu Xun was slightly puzzled.
“Ji Li is a fire element cultivator, her constitution is more inclined towards fire.”
“But this “Wind Stabilizing Wave” leans towards water, and with the help of the Dragon Yuan, is chillingly cold!”
“By logic, it wouldn’t suit Ji Li.”
“Why would it choose Ji Li?”
Lu Xun was contemplating these questions in his mind, but didn’t voice them out loud.
After all, this was a Purple Martial, even if the attributes weren’t compatible, the power it would wield would undoubtedly be stronger than a Blue Martial!
“I’ll ask the master when we return to the back mountain later, to see if there are any mysteries hidden within.”
Since Ji Li had already obtained something, Lu Xun didn’t stay on Hidden Mountain too long.
After bidding farewell to Yue Heshan and Elder Gui, he, along with Ji Li, flew towards the back mountain.
Ji Li was the first one to ascend Hidden Mountain, she even directly obtained an Immortal Level Magic Treasure, which stirred up the excitement of the other disciples from the Demon Sect.
People are always like this, generating this kind of illusion: “I can do it too if given the opportunity!”
Lu Xun silently prayed for them: “I hope you won’t be too greedy when you climb the mountain. Know when to quit at the peak, so you don’t return empty-handed.”
All the way, Ji Li was carefully playing with the shortsword in her hand, obviously unwilling to let it go.
Helpless, the Wind Stabilizing Wave was indeed very beautiful, its appearance indeed astonishingly high.
“I would gladly call you the Charisma 9 of swords.” Lu Xun thought to himself.
Returning to the back mountain, Lu Xun first took Ji Li to the bamboo grove.
After all, the second senior sister is Ji Li’s master, and Ji Li had gained something, so naturally, she had to inform Gu Xiaoman first.
The paper crane landed within the bamboo grove, and Lu Xun said to the slender Taoist nun on the rock: “Second senior sister, Ji Li has obtained the Wind Stabilizing Wave.”
The second senior sister on the stone nodded lightly, without much reaction.
After a few seconds, she seemed to think she was being too indifferent, so she added, “Very… very good.”
Her voice was still cold, her tone was still flat, but it was already a rare compliment.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xun felt there was no need to ask the master, perhaps the second senior sister could give a response, so he asked:
“Second senior sister, Ji Li has a Fire Element Constitution, but this Wind Stabilizing Wave is obviously biased towards a water-attribute magic treasure, this junior brother is a bit confused.”
Gu Xiaoman sat on the giant rock and said: “Give… give me the sword.”
Ji Li obediently complied, lifting up the Wind Stabilizing Wave in both hands.
With a slight movement of the second senior sister’s fingertips, the sword floated up and flew into her palm.
She held the sword in her right hand, and with her left hand gently stroked the Dragon Yuan gemstone on the sword body.
In an instant, threads of red light weaved within the Dragon Yuan.
The surging power of fire was released, seemingly causing the temperature in the surrounding area to rise a bit.
“A combination of water and fire?” Lu Xun couldn’t help but exclaim.
Gu Xiaoman nodded and said: “Yan… Yan Shu has a unique constitution, allowing her to cultivate… both water and fire.”
Lu Xun said in surprise: “There are people in the world who can combine water and fire?”
The second senior sister calmly said: “There… there are all… kinds of people in the… the world.”
If someone like Lu Xun, who is well-balanced in the Five Elements, can exist, why can’t someone who can cultivate both water and fire exist?
It just goes against common sense.
But perhaps that’s what geniuses are, they are unreasonable in nature.
“But second senior sister, wasn’t this Dragon Yuan from a Water Hydra?” Lu Xun asked.
Gu Xiaoman shook her head and said: “This stone was… formed by the fusion… of two Dragon Yuans.”
“The fire… fire snake turned into a hydra, rampant in the… mountains and fields.”
“I killed it… in my early… years, and gave… gave it to Xiao Xu.”
Having heard this, Lu Xun nodded slightly: “I see.”
That’s good, now there’s no need to worry about whether Ji Li can harness the power of this sword.
Although it would undoubtedly be better if one could cultivate both water and fire, this was something Ji Li, due to her constitution, could not achieve.
At this moment, he looked up at the slender figure on the giant rock, feeling amused.
“The second senior sister just said a great deal, which is very rare.”
“Even so, her tone of voice was still that flat, and her speech was still that calm. Unlike a typical stutter, the more they speak, the more anxious they become.”
It seemed she really embodied the words, “peace of mind.”
No wonder she didn’t find it dull or boring to meditate in the bamboo grove every day.
She was like an old well, with no ripples at all.
“I wonder what it would take to disturb her peace of mind?” Lu Xun wondered.
