There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 126: 126. [Gift for the Beautiful Master]

Translator: 549690339

The Third Senior Brother and Mao Nanbei stayed in the cave for a bit longer before leaving first.

Lu Xun had initially planned to thoroughly digest the generous rewards he’d just received, but after looking at the broken sword clinging to life, he decided to first teach the Sword Cultivating Technique to Lin Chan.

He was genuinely worried that the sword spirit within the broken sword might suddenly give up, causing this mysterious broken sword to completely break down.

It looked so weak, just like a dying flame in the wind, ready to go out at any moment.

Even though the main quest “Guide” seemed to not have an after-sale policy. As long as Little Chan got the treasure, he would receive rewards, regardless of whether the treasure would break down after that; it wouldn’t affect his ability to receive rewards.

However, this was, after all, the magical weapon of his beloved disciple, so he couldn’t be careless.

The Sword Cultivating Technique would undoubtedly work wonders on this broken sword, but the actual effects would only become apparent after Lin Chan cultivates it. After all, she was a true Sword Embryo while he was a false one, so perhaps there could be some differences?

“Little Chan, come sit cross-legged in front of me and close your eyes. I’m going to teach you a magical power, which may be beneficial to your broken sword,” Lu Xun said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chan immediately obediently came over to sit in front of Lu Xun, then sat cross-legged and closed her eyes.

With a thought, Lu Xun prompted a message asking “Do you want to teach the Sword Cultivating Technique?”

He chose “Yes”.

Then, he lightly touched Lin Chan’s forehead with his finger, transferring the contents of the Sword Cultivating Technique to her. This was the same way Mao Nanbei had taught him the Sword Cultivating Technique, by touching his forehead.

After a while, Lin Chan slowly opened her eyes to find Lu Xun watching her, and she shyly lowered her head.

“Did you learn it?” Lu Xun asked.

Lin Chan nodded her head. With her level of enlightenment, she was quick to comprehend.

“Then give it a try,” Lu Xun said softly.

As for him, after teaching Lin Chan the “Sword Cultivation Technique”, he had another reward to claim!

However, compared to when Lin Chan obtained the Broken Sword, the task rewards were surprisingly less.

“Strange, the “Sword Cultivating Technique” is an Orange Level skill, the top level. Just what is the background of this broken sword that the rewards would be more than that of the Orange Level “Sword Cultivation Technique”?” Lu Xun was puzzled.

As for the basic information about this broken sword, it was naturally full of question marks. The only thing he knew was that it was currently a superior Blue Level weapon, all other information was not accessible.

Lu Xun looked at the task rating after the transfer, which was also Orange

Level for teaching Lin Chan the Sword Cultivating Technique.

“Then there were only two possibilities, either the rewards for the main task were greater for magical weapons than for skills? For example, giving Little

Chan a Blue Level equipment would grant more rewards than teaching her Blue

Level skills. Or else, this broken sword might have additional value or uses!”

The latter was also easy to understand, like in martial arts dramas there would often be something like a sect leader ring, wearing the ring would represent the identity of the sect leader, and that was additional value.

“This broken sword could only have been placed on Hidden Mountain by Master or Elder Gui. Once I receive the task reward, I can upgrade the formation then leave seclusion. I can ask Master about it then, let’s see if he will tell,” Lu Xun thought to himself.

Lin Chan was cultivating the Sword Cultivating Technique for the first time, so she took it very seriously. Lu Xun watched closely to see the changes in the broken sword. After all, this was the first time he saw someone else cultivating the real Sword Cultivating Technique.

As for his Sword Cultivating Technique, it was completely off-track. The small sword within his Sword Heart was flirty and provocative- he had cultivated a Flirty Saber!

When I, Lu Xun, was studying, I was a model student and excellent cadre. Apart from wearing trendy clothes when gaming, how did I end up cultivating this thing? So embarrassing!

At this moment, Lu Xun looked at the broken sword for a while and noticed that it was still barely hanging on but there were some extremely subtle changes.

—The rust on the blade looked like it had lessened a bit.

Just a tiny, tiny bit…

If Lu Xun wasn’t watching so carefully, he might not have noticed this small detail.

When Lin Chan finished her practice and opened her eyes, Lu Xun noticed that the change in the broken sword was still very subtle.

But it seemed that the sword spirit had steadied a little.

“It seems that it will not be a quick process to restore the sword spirit,” Lu Xun concluded.

“It shouldn’t die halfway, should it?” He thought to himself.

At this time, Lu Xun noticed a small pendant on Lin Chan’s belt. Upon looking closely, the basic information showed that it was [Non-permanent equipment, usable times: 3], but he couldn’t determine any other information.

“Little Chan, where did this pendant come from?” Lu Xun asked.

Lin Chan took Lu Xun’s big hand and wrote on it: “It was given to me by the old man at the foot of the mountain. “Elder Gui?” Lu Xun asked again.

Lin Chan nodded.

She continued to write on Lu Xun’s hand: “Third Senior Brother told me that it can withstand three full-power attacks from a cultivator below the sixth level.”

“What a treasure!” Lu Xun thought to himself.

This thing was a lifesaver indeed!

“Why didn’t Elder Gui give me one?” Lu Xun felt a little jealous: “He showed that he liked me a lot.”

He imagined in his mind: “Does that mean that if we encounter danger in the future with Little Chan outside, I can lift Little Chan up and use her as a shield?”

After making this joke in his heart, Lu Xun thought: “Lu Xun, be a person.” Lu Xun was happy for Lin Chan for receiving such a great item.

The only thing he regretted was that Little Chan getting this treasure had nothing to do with him, and the system did not grant him any main quest rewards.

“So it seems that Elder Gui gave Little Chan this pendant not because she is my disciple, but for some other reason?” Lu Xun speculated within his heart.

He speculated: “Could it be because they are both mutes?”

Lu Xun, who was all at sea, asked with a smile like an elder talking to a child, “Did you thank Elder Gui?”

Lin Chan nodded vigorously, and even bent her waist to indicate that she had expressed her gratitude with a courtesy.

“Hmm, this is a good thing, it can keep you safe,” Lu Xun said: “The path of cultivation is full of dangers and difficulties, there will inevitably be life and death battles sometimes. If you have this, I’ll feel more reassured about you.”

After nodding her head, Lin Chan grabbed the pendant and lowered her head, lost in her thoughts.

“You go back and rest first, I need to meditate,” Lu Xun said to Lin Chan.

He was actually preparing to collect the quest reward. The reward was quite substantial, not just experience points but also other things. He needed to carefully organize and digest them.

Little Mute nodded her head and headed towards the exit of the cave. Just as she had taken a few steps, she turned back and walked quickly over to Lu Xun. She looked a bit hesitant, as if she wanted to do something but didn’t dare to.

“What is it?” Lu Xun asked with a smile, his tone gentle.

Lin Chan quickly took off the pendant strapped to her waist, raised it, and handed it to Lu Xun with both hands.

“Do you want to give it to me?” Lu Xun was taken aback.

Lin Chan looked up at her handsome master for a moment and then quickly lowered her eyes. But the pair of hands holding the pendant were still raised.
