Chapter 20 – Meng Fan’s saber!

Upon seeing Meng Fan about to choose a sword, Senior Disciple Luo returned to his own room without disturbing him.

He didn't make a mysterious fuss about which sword Meng Fan should pick.

Since Meng Fan had been at the Sword Pavilion for quite some time and had proven to be much more outstanding than he had initially thought, he believed Meng Fan would be able to choose the sword that best suited him!

No need to worry.

Indeed, this was the case; Meng Fan could pick the most suitable sword for others, let alone for himself.

Meng Fan was meticulous in his selection, as it was a sword he would wield himself, so he chose with great care.

In fact, there were three swords that were most suitable for Meng Fan!

[White Night], the former saber of Lord Eternal Night, from which Meng Fan learned the Extreme Path Sword Drawing Technique.

[Dark Wind], the former saber of Li Qingyun, the Clan Master of the Limitless Sword Sect, from which Meng Fan obtained the seed of the Supreme Heartless Sword Intent.

[Copper Mountain], a sword whose master was unknown, from whose memories Meng Fan witnessed Sword Momentum, thereby integrating and creating his own Sword Technique—Mountain Splitting.

Choosing White Night, Meng Fan would wield the Extreme Path Sword Drawing Technique with even greater ease.

Choosing Dark Wind seemed of little significance, as Meng Fan had no intention of cultivating the Supreme Heartless Sword.

As for Copper Mountain, it was even more suited for Meng Fan to execute Mountain Splitting.

With that in mind, Dark Wind was the first to be set aside.

Was it to be a choice between White Night and Copper Mountain?Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com

After much deliberation, Meng Fan ultimately chose Copper Mountain.

Because for Meng Fan at this moment, the Sword Technique Mountain Splitting was of the greatest use!

At least for Meng Fan at this moment, Copper Mountain was the most suitable sword.

Meng Fan took Copper Mountain and returned to his room to begin cultivation.

With the Qi Gathering Pill and the cooperation of his Sword Essence, Meng Fan's cultivation speed was like riding a rocket.

At this rate, it would take at most four or five days for him to break through to the second level of Qi Refining.

The next morning, before dawn had broken.

Because the Sword Essence in his body was exhausted, Meng Fan stopped cultivating.

Although the Qi Gathering Pill could also enhance his cultivation speed, only when combined with the Sword Essence did he experience the thrill of cultivation soaring like a rocket.

When Meng Fan ended his meditation and stepped down from the bed, he was met with a shocking scene.

The Copper Mountain sword he had placed on the table last night had now become a broken sword, snapped into two pieces.

This...

Meng Fan was greatly surprised.

Meng Fan was truly in disbelief!

He said with a bewildered tone, "You want to follow me? I'm just a Guarding Sword Disciple at the first level of Qi Refining, inferior to many Outer Sect Disciples. Why would you want to follow me?"

Honestly, Hong Qi's high regard for Meng Fan took him by surprise.

Hong Qi's lips curled into a mysterious smile as if she saw right through him.

She cheerfully said, "You have secrets that you can hide from little Luo, but not from me!"

"What secrets do I have?" Meng Fan asked, feeling a bit guilty.

This Red Qi was so secretive, and by the looks of it, had been spying on him all this time; it might have really discovered his secrets.

Thinking this, Meng Fan became somewhat nervous.

But then he thought, the other party was just a sword, what was there to be nervous about?

Moreover, she valued him and wanted to follow him, which was a good thing, not a threat!

"Ever since you escaped unscathed from my grasp last time, I've been observing you.

You look honest, but you're actually quite sly.

Every time you wipe a long sword, you steal a trace of the Essence of the Sword, or what you might call the Sword's Origin.

Such a thing is imperceptible to humans, and only a sword spirit like me can detect your little tricks."

Meng Fan raised an eyebrow.

The secret Hong Qi discovered was about him absorbing Sword Essence from the sword?

This was indeed a significant secret for him!

Meng Fan calmly said, "What of it? It's just normal cultivation. The Sword's Origin you speak of doesn't belong to anyone, how can you say I'm stealing?"

This is taking, not stealing!

If I stand here and breathe, you can't say I'm stealing air, can you?

"It doesn't matter, I'm not planning to expose you or trouble you," Hong Qi said casually.

"Then what do you want to do?" Meng Fan asked.

"Didn't I just say? I plan to follow you."

"Why?"

"Because you have potential, you're a promising stock!"

Hearing Hong Qi's words, Meng Fan couldn't help but smile wryly, "You believe in me just like that?"

"Of course, you may look ordinary, but your enlightenment in the way of the sword is monstrous. Don't think I don't know, you learn Sword Techniques almost at a glance. There's no disciple in the entire Shu Mountain Sword Sect as monstrous as you!"

Meng Fan shook his head, "But I'm still just a disciple with a Mixed Spiritual Root."
