Chapter 62: [Special Skill of the Sword Sheath]


    Trantor: 549690339


    Atop Hidden Mountain, Lu Xun held the sword sheath in his arms and was teleported out.


    His target, in heading for the summit, was the sword sheath of the Sword Qi is Near!


    He had learned from a forum in a past life that the sword qi and its sheath were kept separately.


    In the crude words of a yer, it was as if the couple were estranged and living apart.


    The reason why he still wanted to touch the Sword Qi is Near was nothing more than dissatisfaction, wondering if he would be sted away if he touched it.


    If he could take both of them together, that would be the best, but if not, he would be content with just the sheath.


    After all, it’s always right to make preparations!


    Taking action is better than not doing anything!


    The small sword in Lu Xun’s Sword Heart was only hostile to the sword, but it had no hostility to the sheath, so he held it firmly.


    After he disappeared from Hidden Mountain, he was quickly teleported down the mountain.


    Because he was teleported out in a backwards flying posture, he almostnded on his back when he came down, fortunately, he was caught by a frail, skinny hand.


    It was the mute old man.


    He did not know when the old man had appeared here, but he caught Lu Xun.


    The old man’s hand was very thin, almost skeletal, but Lu Xun felt stable as he was held by him.


    Moreover, a warmth flowed from the old man’s palm into Lu Xun’s body, making his injuries feel significantly better.


    The mute old man gently ced Lu Xun on the ground, his movements still very slow.


    Lu Xun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, which was the result of being stunned earlier, and then thanked the old man.


    The old man slowly waved his left hand, indicating not to worry.


    His right hand was still holding the ancient cane, he lifted the cane and tapped gently on the sheath that Lu Xun was holding.


    The sheath vibrated a couple of times as if responding to him.


    In the upper middle position of the sheath, there was a ck cord of unknown material, with two ck pearls at the ends of the cord.


    At this moment, the cord moved on its own, and the two pearls at the ends rubbed affectionately against the back of the old man’s hand.


    “This spirit is too strong!” Lu Xun thought.


    The mute old man looked at the sheath, then at Lu Xun, and slowly a smile spread across his face.


    Then, he pointed at the sheath and then at himself.


    “Are you saying that this sword sheath was originally yours?” Lu Xun spected.


    The old man slowly shook his head.


    He then guessed, “Did you forge this sword sheath?”


    This time he was right, the old man nodded.


    Not only that, a sense of pride emanated from his dull eyes, like a young boy.


    Now, Lu Xun realized that the mute old man had yed a big role in his acquisition of the sheath.


    So the sheath was made by him. Could it be that he’s a master of artifact refining?


    At this moment, Shen Yan and several Peak Masters quickly arrived.


    They first bowed to the mute old man, then congratted Lu Xun, “Congrattions, Junior Uncle!”


    Lu Xun was in a good mood and thanked them one by one with a smile.


    Next, Shen Yan, acting as a representative, asked about Lu Xun’s physical condition and why he was sent flying out.


    Once they had figured out the details, they all paused.


    So, is our junior uncle now nurturing a sword with his body?


    So, isn’t he essentially a human sword now!?


    Creating a sheath makes perfect sense then…


    When Lu Xun was teleported out with the sheath, Shen Yan and the Peak Masters couldn’t sit still! That was the sheath of the Sword Qi is Near!


    However, he felt some regret that the master sister’s and her teacher’s sword had not reappeared in the world.


    In the end, after they had exchanged a few more words, Shen Yan, as always, took on the role of the driver and took Lu Xun back to the back mountain.


    He didn’t take Lu Xun all the way to the Small Study at the top of the mountain but left him in the bamboo forest. Mao Nanbei and the second junior sister were there waiting for him.


    After dropping Lu Xun off, Shen Yan said his goodbyes and left.


    The second junior sister was still sitting on the big rock. She said nothing, on the other hand, Mao Nanbei, was very curious about the sword sheath, even wanted to test the hardness of the sheath with his two small daggers.


    Lu Xun didn’t feel that the sheath would get damaged because he could tell that this sword sheath was really, really hard!


    Maybe because this sword sheath had be his personal item, he could now see some of its basic information.


    Lu Xun didn’t know the rank of The Sword Qi is Near, but this sword sheath was Intermediate Purple Equipment!


    In his past life, Lu Xun’s main ount only had a blue level club.


    At that time, he was already level 60, reaching the peak before his journey. He was able to disy the full power of Superior Blue Martial.


    Even if Intermediate Purple Equipment was handed to a level 60 expert, it was impossible to utilize its full power!


    As for the current Lu Xun, it was even more so.


    What he cared about now was whether the sheath had any special skills.


    Logically, Blue Equipment woulde with special skills. Like therge club from his previous life, which had the special skill “Wild Dance”.


    As for “First Encounter”, it had the special skill “Ice Crystal”.


    And this sword sheath surprisingly had two special skills, they were “Sword Sealing” and “Gather Qi”.


    “Sword Sealing”, just as its name suggests, could seal swords!


    This skill was very useful. If the opponent was a Sword Cultivator… hehe, the result would be extremely effective!


    As for “Gather Qi”, it was about inserting the sword into the sheath, and the sheath would gradually gather Qi on the sword body over time. The moment the sword is drawn out, the damage of the Sword Qi gets a bonus!


    There is a basic sword move known as the Sword Drawing Style. People have often seen this in Wuxia dramas where a sword is pulled from its sheath, cold light shes and heads fall.


    The effect of “Gather Qi” was that the first Sword Qi released after drawing the sword, the damage is significantly increased!


    A divine skill indeed!


    Such a special skill is timeless and can be used all the way from level o to the peak level, if… Lu Xun had a sword, that is.


    Now he doesn’t even have a sword, so “Gather Qi” seems a bit redundant.


    Currently, he himself is the sword, does he n to insert himself into the sheath!?


    As for the small sword in his Sword Heart, it couldn’t be taken out, it could only provide his fingertips with one Sword Qi after another.


    “Huh? Sword Qi?” Lu Xun had a sudden idea.


    He put his index finger and middle finger together, a translucent Sword Qi gathered at his fingertips. He tried guiding the Sword Qi into the sheath, then, with a “siu-” sound, it really got sucked in!


    Sucked in! It waspletely sucked in!


    The ck string tied to the sword sheath danced a few times, as if to hint to


    Lu Xun… to send another one in!


    Is it getting addicted?


    Lu Xun tried to guide another Sword Qi, then again it waspletely “devoured” by the sheath!


    Lu Xun guided the third Sword Qi, and the sheath seemed even happier!


    The three Sword Qi was Lu Xun’s current limit. For the sheath, it felt like an appetizer, not satisfied at all.


    The ck string attached to it danced a few times, expressing its dissatisfaction.


    But Lu Xun could feel that these three Sword Qi were quietly hidden in the sheath, being nourished constantly and growing stronger!


    This was incredible!


    Lu Xun couldn’t help but nce in the direction of Hidden Mountain, thinking to himself:


    “The Sword Qi is Near…your sword sheath…is a bit handy!’
