Chapter 304: 304,Cat and Cicada, Descend the Mountain Together
At the peak of the Demon Sect, Shen Yan, who had just finished a day of teaching his direct disciples, felt utterly exhausted.
“Indeed, I really don’t have much talent in teaching.” Shen Yan smirked at himself.
He wasn’t wrong in his thoughts, not only was he tired, but his disciples were probably even more weary.
They all felt like they could write and publish a book.
“On My Master’s Insistence on Leading Me Astray and How I Can Rescue Myself”.
Truthfully, Shen Yan had mostly dismissed the idea of taking on more disciples. However, he had heard that the group of anomalies who had recently joined the sect were quite enlightened and quick to comprehend?
He had some free time, so he decided to test this theory in the Outer Sect.
He randomly picked up an anomaly from the Outer Sect and guided him for a while.
This player practiced a water-based cultivation technique so Shen Yan suggested that he swim daily in the deep cold pool. To his surprise, the disciple actually made a breakthrough!
The player was also confused. Why did the bald Sect Master inexplicably give him a diving task? The experience points awarded were not few!
He leveled up immediately!
That gave Shen Yan an idea, thus reigniting his long-dormant heart for teaching.
Unfortunately, the current disciples under his induct are really difficult to teach properly.
After finishing his work, Shen Yan was planning to go back and rest for a while and wash his head.
Even though he didn’t have hair and although the physique of a Great Cultivator was without impurities, he enjoyed the process.
At this time, a small flying sword flew into the Demon Sect Main Hall. This was the Flying Sword Letter from One Sword Mountain.
With a wave of his hand, the flying sword was caught by Shen Yan. His ugly face which had neither eyebrows nor eyelashes immediately showed an anxious look.
“Little Junior Brother is in trouble in the ‘Moon in the Well’!” Shen Yan put the flying sword into his robe and immediately flew towards the back mountain of the Demon Sect.
Such matters naturally needed to be reported to the Elder immediately.
By the time he reached the back mountain, everyone was eating freshly picked jujubes in the bamboo forest.
After Shen Yan mentioned what happened to Lu Xun, Mao Nanbei immediately jumped from her chair. The small bells on her wrist turned into two short knives. She frowned at Shen Yan and said, “Let’s go!”
This was clearly a rhythm to cut someone down.
“How dare they bully my little junior brother! I will chop off his head!” Little Kitty Mao was angry.
“Sit down.” The Elder addressed Mao Nanbei.
With a wave of his hand and a calm expression, he said, “Given Little Lu Xun’s character, he is obviously acting, taking advantage of others.”
“Ah?” Mao Nanbei was puzzled. “But Little Brother is unconscious!”
“When was he not unconscious when he was at the back mountain?” the Elder said nonchalantly.
After recalling the, she realised that Lu Xun really fainted quite often.
“Oh! Alright then!” Mao Nanbei sat back down. Then, as if she thought of something, she continued, “Elder, can I visit my junior brother?”
In reality, she simply missed the meals and desserts cooked by Lu Xun.
The third brother isn’t human, I’m so cute, yet he is torturing me with such unbearable food!
Just because my body won’t develop, am I not worthy of eating anything good?
After speaking, she pulled a “co-conspirator,” towards Lin Chan and said, “Little Chan, you miss your master too, don’t you?”
When Lin Chan was asked, her face turned slightly red, but she nodded her head honestly.
Mao Nanbei looked at her and was stunned for a moment.
The thin and frail little Chan from before seemed… to be developing quite well now.
Mao Nanbei suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.
The Elder picked a jujube from the table with his raised fingers, crunched it in one bite and said, “So you want to go to West State?”
“Yes!” Mao Nanbei nodded vigorously, then told Lin Chan, “Little Chan, you also want to go, don’t you?”
Lin Chan lowered her head, nodding slightly.
Seeing their reactions, the gentleman laughed and waved his hand, “All right, off you go then!”
Mao Nanbei scampered off like a speeding bullet, heading back to her room to pack.
“Ha ha! I can go find Little Junior Brother! And I’ll have good food again! Ooh ooh–!” Mao Nanbei was overjoyed in her mind.
She never got tired of the food that Lu Xun prepared.
Given the chance, she wouldn’t mind spending her entire life with him.
By the time she finished packing, she found Lin Chan already waiting outside the door.
West State, One Sword Mountain.
Now that Lu Xun was awake, he didn’t want to stay in bed any longer. So, he got up, put on his black robe, and walked outside with Ji Li.
This was a peaceful place for honoured guests to stay. It had a purple bamboo forest outside the door and there weren’t many disciples of One Sword Mountain around to bother them.
Lu Xun glanced at the purple bamboo forest, feeling unimpressed.
The scenery here was not as beautiful as the back mountain of the Demon Sect.
Though both had bamboo groves, he thought the bamboo sea where his second sister-in-sect retreated for closed-door cultivation was more beautiful.
Lu Xun asked Ji Li, “By the way, where’s my sword sheath?”
“It’s with me, I put it in my storage ring.” Ji Li took out the sword sheath and handed it to Lu Xun.
The black rope on the sword sheath floated up and rubbed his hand, being extremely clingy.
Ping Shanhai didn’t want to look after the sword sheath, which was the Sword Qi is Near’s sheath and a Purple Level Magic Weapon, so after making sure that there was no problem with it, he placed it with Ji Li.
“Ji Li, did you go and initiate the ‘Moon in the Well’ challenge?” Lu Xun asked.
“Of course not, with you unconscious, how could I have the mood to go on a challenge.” Ji Li replied.
Lu Xun laughed and flicked her forehead, “Alright, before we leave the West State, I’ll accompany you.”
“Sounds good!” Ji Li covered her forehead to stop his teasing and replied.
This was the Welcoming Guest Peak of One Sword Mountain, the height was decent, not too tall and not too low.
The mountain breeze blew, making Lu Xun feel invigorated.
His current physical state was excellent.
After being refined with the ‘Undying Fire’, he had reached the level of a ‘Superior Spirit Sword’.
Unexpectedly, the refining process was similar to the Sword Cultivating Technique.
The Sword Cultivating Technique obviously caused pain, while the refinement of the ‘Undying Fire’ was particularly comfortable.
If it weren’t for the fact that ‘Undying Fire’ only works once, Lu Xun feared he might become addicted.
He looked at Ji Li and said, “You’ve probably already broken through to the second stage, right?”
“Yes, that’s right,” Ji Li lifted her head to look at Lu Xun.
“You didn’t consolidate your realm immediately after breaking through, it’s a bit of a pity.”
After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and said, “Let’s do it this way, I’ll spar with you a few times.”
This would help Ji Li to consolidate her realm and also allow him to adapt to his physique that was comparable to an ‘Intermediate Spiritual Sword’.
Upon hearing his words, Ji Li’s face turned red immediately. She put her hands behind her back, covering that part of her body which was remarkably well shaped.
She didn’t know if Lu Xun had some kind of strange habit, but every time they sparred, it always ended with Ji Li being smacked on the buttocks by the sword sheath.
So when Lu Xun mentioned sparring, Ji Li knew her poor little bottom was in for another beating.
