Chapter 55: (The Sword Qi is Near)


    Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions


    “The Sword Qi is Near”, that’s the name of this sword.


    The name might sound strange, as it’s named after a rather rare phrase.


    But you must understand that the “sword qi” here does not refer to the phrase, but to the real sword qi, Yan Li’s sword qi.


    Once his sword qi is near, you’re naturally already dead.


    And his sword is the fastest sword in the world, which cane near you at the fastest speed…so once the sword is out, someone is bound to die!


    This is “The Sword Qi is Near”!


    This precious treasure is ced on the Hidden Mountain just like that, without any cover, visible to anyone who climbs the mountain.


    However, in the previous incarnation of “Heavenly Dust”, no yer managed to bring the sword down from the mountain.


    Does Lu Xun fancy this sword? Of course, he does.


    But on second thoughts, he wondered: “Aren’t I incapable of wielding a sword now?”


    Yeah, the little sword inside the Sword Heart is there, it seems he is destined to have no destiny with all swords.


    “I’ll see about it then.” Lu Xun thought to himself.


    Thinking of the imminent arrival of the yers for the internal test, Lu Xun felt a sense of urgency, so he decided to go to Hidden Mountain tomorrow to try his luck, hoping to get some good equipment for free.


    It’s time to rely on luck!” Lu Xun thought he might have some decent luck.


    “Then I’ll pick up Young Elder in the backyard tomorrow.” Shen Yan once again voluntarily offered to be the driver.


    After chatting for a while, the old guys stood up and said their goodbyes.


    They would get together in the evening, enjoying the moon while drinking wine, and casually chat about old embarrassments and gossips.


    That’s the state of Demon Sect, from top to bottom, they never acted like superior beings, always so mundane and low-end.


    After Shen Yan and several Peak Masters left, Lu Xun was hustled into the kitchen by Mao Nanbei.


    A lot of ingredients were prepared for today, and there were even several crabs.


    Actually, the Mid -Autumn Festival in August is not the best season to eat crabs.


    The saying goes, “females in nine, males in ten,” refers to the best time to eat female crabs is in lunar September and male crabs in lunar October. Eating crabs earlier is mainly for the sake of trying something new.


    In the kitchen, Ji Li had been busy for a long time.


    She used to be a little miss, served by servants at home.


    In previous Mid-Autumn Festivals, all she had to do was wait for the meal, it was the first time she helped in the kitchen.


    From being a privileged little miss to working in the kitchen, you would think she would feel a gap, but she was very hard-working and even a bit happy because this was what Lu Xun had instructed her to do.


    “Can you cook?” asked Lu Xun.


    “Ah, no, I can’t.” Ji Li answered honestly.


    “Just watch then. I’ll show you how it’s done.” said Lu Xun with a smile.


    While chopping the vegetables, he casually chatted with Ji Li who was beside him, asking, “Based on your qualifications, you should be able to be an Inner Sect Disciple before long. Have you thought about which main peak to go to or who you want to acknowledge as a master?”


    Ji Li was not very bright, but Lu Xun was careful. He could tell that not just Shen Yan, but also several Peak Masters, had considered taking Ji Li as a disciple.


    “Huh?” Ji Li was stunned, she really hadn’t thought that far ahead.


    She wasn’t a girl who liked to think a lot, a pear with all its juice in its head might as well not think at all.


    But since Lu Xun asked, she would try her best to think. After thinking for a long time, she suddenly said:


    “Can… Can I acknowledge you as my master?”


    Lu Xun’s hand chopping vegetables paused, he was stunned.


    “You really dare to think!” Lu Xun was made tough by her sillyness.


    Whether it’s Shen Yan or several Peak Masters, they are all big figures in the Cultivation World with top-notch strength, and they have a lot to teach Ji Li.


    But Lu Nun?


    He’s only one level higher in Cultivation Base than Ji Li is now, and he hasn’t done any research on Cultivation Techniques, relying solely on auto-upgrade. What could he teach her, how to sweet-talk and backstab?


    “This little girl just simply craves for me!” Lu Xun was speechless about Ji Li, his number one fan.


    Speaking of which, it’s quite taboo for something to happen between master and disciple. But if something happens with Young Elder, it seems more taboo.


    And it’s strange, the elder brothers and sisters in the backyard didn’t seem to have the intention of taking disciples.


    Besides the eldest brother who founded the Demon Sect, none of the elder brothers and sisters had disciples. Mao Nanbei was solely focused on getting a mount…


    “As for myself…” Lu Xun contemted for a few seconds: “The yers seem to be a good choice.”


    After all, the yers are also auto-leveling people, just like him. All they need are tasks to do, and they will naturally level up when they have enough Experience Points.


    Maybe he will even be praised as a famed master by the outside world!


    Thinking of this, Lu Xun couldn’t help butugh again.


    Lu Xun made a casual lunch, but he put a lot of effort into making dinner.


    This was Ji Li’s first time having dinner in the backyard, and she wanted to eat every dish Lu Xun made.


    As for what Little Junior Sister likes to eat, Lu Xun didn’t know because she doesn’t like to talk and never told Lu Xun what she wanted to eat.


    And Mao Nanbei likes too many things, couldn’t make them all at once. So Lu Xun picked and choose among them, choosing some that he also likes.


    The little girl feels lucky now to have such a Little Junior Brother. In the past, it was always the third senior brother who cooked. He was obsessed with the Culinary Path, but his food was awful, even pigs couldn’t get used to it, let alone this cat!


    It was getting dark, and the moon was starting to rise. It was about to be admired by countless people. Many literati must have been ready to chant poetry.


    Ji Li and Mao Nanbei seemed very uncultured, and the second junior sister was cold. It was pointless to show off in front of her. Otherwise, Lu Xun might have recited the “Song of the Water Tune” while looking at the moon, a poem that must be copied by every copycat.


    A bamboo forest, a round moon, a table of delicious food, and a few close friends.


    That’s the vibe of the Mid -Autumn Festival.


    Howfortable-


    After eating and drinking their fill, as usual, Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei leaned on arge bamboo. With his right hand, he rubbed his full belly clockwise. Today,


    Ji Li also joined them.


    The autumn night breeze was refreshing.


    Looking at the second junior sister’s back, he thought to himself, “Has she gained a little weight? It seems like she has, but it’s not obvious.”


    The feeding n can’t stop!


    The second junior sister, who rarely initiates conversations, finally spoke:


    “You’re… You’re going to… Hidden… Mountain tomorrow?”


    “Yes.” Lu Xun nodded.


    He only has one Storage Ring in his equipment column right now, which is pitiful. He is very delighted that he could go to Hidden Mountain and get some suitable equipment for free.


    Besides, the legendary “The Sword Qi is Near” is on the mountain, and he also


    wanted to take a look.


    “Then… Then take this with you.” The second junior sister took something out of her Storage Ring and threw it to Lu Xun.
