Chapter 341: 341, Waiting For You (Please Vote For Monthly Ticket!)

The next day, at dawn.

After preparing breakfast for everyone at the back mountain, Lu Xun also made a special meal for Elder Gui, planning to bring it over later.

Lin Chan had risen even earlier than him and was already waiting outside the house.

Seeing that Lu Xun had prepared breakfast, Lin Chan took out a small bamboo basket, put the meals of three people into it, then picked up the basket, followed Lu Xun from behind, and walked outside the door together.

Outside the house, Lu Xun took out a paper crane, casually tossed it into the air, and it enlarged in mid-flight.

The two of them sat on the paper crane and began flying in the direction of Hidden Mountain.

Along the way, Lu Xun checked the progress of the Contribution Points Mall’s development , which was currently only at 67%…

“This is so fucking slow!” he exclaimed, speechless.

Hidden Mountain was still the same, the entire mountain was covered with clouds and mist, sealed by a Mist Formation.

Elder Gui was already waiting in front of the small wooden hut at the foot of the mountain.

Although he was much older than Lu Xun, he had always considered himself as a faithful old servant.

For him, Lu Xun and Lin Chan were more like the young master and miss of his family. Why should they have to wait for him?

Especially considering his slow movements…

After jumping off the paper crane, Lu Xun greeted with a smile, “Elder Gui,” followed by Lin Chan politely greeting as well.

Elder Gui saw himself as an old servant, but Lu Xun and Lin Chan regarded him as an elder of the family.

“Elder Gui, have you had breakfast?” Lu Xun asked.

The mute old man, leaning on his cane and hunched over, shook his head slowly.

“I brought you a portion. It’s been a long time since you’ve had anything I’ve cooked, right? Have a taste and see if my skills have declined,” Lu Xun said with a smile.

The corners of the mute old man’s mouth slowly rose into a smile as well, nodding continuously, and led the two to the old wooden table outside the hut.

The three of them sat down, with only Lu Xun able to speak.

But since he was talkative, even in the company of an old mute man and a little mute girl, he managed to keep the conversation going.

Although it was usually quiet at the foot of Hidden Mountain, the sounds of chatter livened up the serene morning.

Lu Xun was quite excited to learn swordsmanship from Elder Gui.

After all, Elder Gui was also the swordsman who laid the foundation for Senior Yanli’s swordsmanship. He was an old man who had managed to train the world’s best sword cultivator.

And today, I was going to learn swordsmanship from him.

Rounding up, I am practically the world’s best sword cultivator!

To be honest, since his journey through time, the most impressive duel between swordsmen that Lu Xun witnessed firsthand was between Elder Gui and Ping Shanhai.

This seemingly ordinary mute old man was actually incredibly strong.

He won a clean victory even when up against a Divine Sword with his cane!

Lu Xun had no idea how old Elder Gui might be.

But he presumed that Gui is quite, quite old.

From the time he started practicing swordsmanship, he only mastered two moves. One move was the Sword Drawing Technique, the other was the Sting.

Both moves were perfected to the extreme!

There was nothing more to say, I wanted to learn!

He just didn’t know whether it would be convenient for him, a Non-Swordbearer, to learn.

After Elder Gui finished Lu Xun’s homemade egg pancakes and rice porridge, he slowly got up, led Lu Xun and Lin Chan to the open space in front of the wooden house.

He slowly raised his cane, then stood sideways in front of them, indicating he would demonstrate.

The cane was held in his left hand, with his right hand holding the handle of the cane, as if holding the hilt of a sword.

The next moment, the sword moved!

Sword Drawing Technique!

To be honest, Lu Xun did not see clearly.

The slowest old man was using the fastest sword!

With his power level, it would be weird if he could see clearly.

That day at the outer Lead Peak, even Ping Shanhai almost didn’t see it clearly.

Lu Xun turned to look at Lin Chan, only to find that his pupil was also full of confusion.

“Thank goodness, even a True Natural Sword Womb didn’t understand, it’s not humiliating,” Lu Xun said in his heart.

After demonstrating once, Elder Gui looked at Lu Xun and Lin Chan.

Seeing that neither of them seemed to have grasped anything, he even laughed awkwardly, as if he felt that he was not teaching well.

The mute old man didn’t speak and it was clear he had little experience in teaching.

He’d only ever taught Yan Li before.

Although the second sister was a sword cultivator, she was taught by the senior Yan Li.

The mute old man slowly raised his thin, bony right hand, then leisurely scratched his white hair. After contemplating for a while, he decided to stick to the most straightforward method of teaching.

That is, repeating the moves over and over again!

That was how he taught Yan Li in the first place.

It had a taste of “read a book a hundred times, and the meaning will present itself”.

So, Lu Xun and Lin Chan stood outside the wooden house, watching again and again.

The mute old man’s actions before drawing the sword were particularly slow. But the moment he drew the sword was so fast that it was impossible to see clearly.

By the time Elder Gui had clumsily demonstrated the move for the tenth time, the bewilderment in Lin Chan’s beautiful eyes had somewhat faded.

By the time Elder Gui had demonstrated for the fifteenth time, Lin Chan’s gaze had become calm and focused.

Lu Yingdi stood by Lin Chan’s side, nodding slightly from time to time, occasionally showing a thoughtful expression.

In fact, with his level of mastery in sword intent, his understanding of Sword Dao was not shallow.

But the gap between Swordsmanship Aptitude 6 and 10 was immense.

Actually, 9 and 10 were worlds apart, there was no comparison!

Just by watching this way, even if his cultivation base and Sword Dao level were higher than Little Chan’s now, his realization would definitely be slower than Lin Chan’s.

By the 20th time, Lin Chan’s eyes brightened noticeably!

It seemed she had understood something.

Lu Xun’s eyes also brightened suddenly, because a prompt message appeared…

“[Ding! Little Gui is teaching you the Sword Drawing Technique (deep purple), do you want to learn?]”

Looking at this prompt, Lu Xun’s mouth twitched slightly.

He didn’t expect that this mute old man in front of him really had no name, he was just called Little Gui.

What he didn’t expect even more was that Elder Gui, with such a clumsy way of teaching, could actually trigger the game system’s judgment.

And this [Sword Drawing Technique] was a superior purple-level skill, second only to the orange level!

Lu Xun immediately chose to [learn], at the cost of experience points.

He still had quite a lot of experience points in reserve, so he was not stingy about it.

After all, even for purple-level skills, they use relatively low amounts of experience points early on. It’s only from the mid-stage that they begin to consume a lot.

That’s why most players only focus on a few specific skills.

No matter how high the rank of the skill is, if the level is low, it’s still of little use.

Biting off more than you can chew, that’s the principle.

People like those from Ten Thousand Sword Mountain learn a lot, but they don’t strive for perfection in everything.

The goal is just to gain some insight.

But for Lu Xun, he currently did not lack experience points, and a superior purple-level skill was definitely worth investing in, naturally, he wouldn’t let it go.

After learning, he was not in a rush, he just leveled up by one to feel it out.

Lu Xun used his finger as a sword and subtly moved it, not too obviously.

He had just learned a new skill and was a little excited, he wanted to try it out.

But why did he try it in stealth?

It’s because he didn’t want Little Chan to know that he had already started, making progress.

If they were both learning together and his progress was too quick, Little Chan, with her personality, would definitely feel guilty and blame herself, thinking that she was dragging back their teacher’s progress.

He’d rather take it slow, keep in sync with Lin Chan, and spend more time with his precious disciple.

However, with the mute old man’s realm, everything naturally couldn’t escape his eyes.

He just gave Lu Xun a benevolent smile, seeing through it without saying anything.

After all, I’m just a mute guy.

Elder Gui continued to clumsily perform his sword moves, contemplating how many times he had to demonstrate the moves before Yan Li mastered them back then?

But the time was so long ago, and as the teacher had said, he wasn’t very smart, so he couldn’t remember it anymore.

(Second update, still keeping up with the flavor?)
