Sword Spirit

Just at this moment, Lin Xin Yi who had been prone on the bed finally woke up.

“Lu Xuan…” Lin Xin Yi softly called.

Hearing the call, Lu Xuan hurried to the bed. Lin Xin Yi’s face color had returned to normal. Her body was no longer overly hot, but she was still a bit weak.

Lu Xuan helped her sit up, having her lean against his chest. His movements caused Lin Xin Yi to blush. She evidently remembered what had just happened, how she had been so unrestrained under the medicinal potency. But she was really still quite shy, otherwise there was no way that after being together with Lu Xuan for so long that they still hadn’t had too intimate contact.

“Just now Xiao Han helped you grab a cure for the poison. How do you feel now?” Lu Xuan asked.

Lin Xin Yi shook her head: “I feel much better, no longer uncomfortable, but my whole body still feels weak. This is little sister Xiao Han right. Indeed you are a national beauty.”

As they talked, Chen Xiao Han also walked to the bed.

“Um, I’m called Chen Xiao Han, I’m Lu Xuan’s… junior sister.” Chen Xiao Han tilted her head as she stated her identity. Although she couldn’t really be considered as Chen Mo’s disciple, calling herself Lu Xuan’s junior sister wasn’t too incorrect.

“Junior sister?” Lin Xin Yi hesitantly looked at Lu Xuan as she asked. She hadn’t heard Lu Xuan ever mention anything about a junior sister.

Facing Lin Xin Yi’s eyes, Lu Xuan braced himself and explained: “That… While I was studying in the Enchantment Hall, and approached the Hallmaster, I became the Hallmaster’s honorary disciple. Xiao Han is my master’s daughter.”

“Oh, so it’s like that, ah.” Lin Xin Yi meaningfully looked at Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan submissively smiled. A woman’s intuition was always sharp. He could tell that Lin Xin Yi evidently hadn’t believed his explanation very much.

But Lin Xin Yi didn’t bring it up anymore. When she had confessed to Lu Xuan, she was already mentally prepared. On the Sky Sword Continent, a man having three wives and four concubines wasn’t anything uncommon, even more so for such a talented person like Lu Xuan. Right now it just proved that. Although Lin Xin Yi’s secular identity was extraordinary, but the Xiao Han in front of her was the Wind Sword Sect’s Enchantment Hall’s Hallmaster’s daughter. Even in terms of identity, how could she compare as just a mere ordinary inner sect disciple?

“Older sister Lin, Lu Xuan is really good to you. In order to save you, he has flipped the heaven and skies in the Wind Sword Sect.” Chen Xiao Han’s voice was filled with jealousy.

“Flipping the earth and skies? What happened?” Lin Xin Yi’s eyes were filled with surprise. She had been knocked unconscious so she didn’t know what had happened afterwards. When she had awoken, she was already in Lu Xuan’s chest and only knew that Lu Xuan saved her, but she was unclear about the process.

“Let me tell her.” Lu Xuan hadn’t been prepared to hide it from Lin Xin Yi. He was going to leave. There were some things that he naturally had to tell her.

As Lu Xuan said this, Lin Xin Yi and Chen Xiao Han looked towards him, waiting for him to speak.

Although Chen Xiao Han had heard Lu Xuan talk about it before, the specific details were still unknown.

Now, Lu Xuan told them everything, starting from when Lin Xin Yi had gone missing.

How he had originally angrily wanted to slaughter through the blade faction, but in the critical juncture, Yao Lei had contact him, and then how he rushed to the blade faction residence, killing five blade faction disciples that blocked him, and then how he had cut down the instigator Long Tian, and how when he saw Lin Xin Yi sprawled on the bed, the anger rushed to his head and he fought Xu Wen Yang, eventually using the Thunder Fire Runes to clutch victory in one fell swoop. Once he had killed him, then he had taken Lin Xin Yi and successfully escaped to the Enchantment Hall.

Although Lu Xuan’s story telling tone had been nothing exciting, completely even, but the two girls still felt Lu Xuan’s determined mentality throughout it.

He knew that killing within the sect was an unforgivable offense, but in order to save Lin Xin Yi, he still proceeded without hesitation, placing himself in danger and receiving the blade faction and fist faction’s combined ire.

Listening to Lu Xuan finish telling, Lin Xin Yi only then knew how much he had done. He hadn’t only rescued her, he had also offended the blade and fist factions.

Lin Xin Yi unconsciously leaned even closer to Lu Xuan. Looking into his eyes, there was a deep unchangeable love. With a man so willing to fight for her, what else could she ask for?

“What are you going to do now? Find Elder Cheng and them for help?” Lin Xin Yi also thought of the three sword faction great elders first.

Lu Xuan shook his head and told her what he had previously explained to Chen Xiao Han. Then he said: “Since you’re fine already, I should be going. Although the Enchantment Hall can still be considered safe, but that can change at any time. I imagine that the blade faction and fist faction’s people definitely won’t skip over the Enchantment Hall. Sooner or later they’ll search here.”

“Then will you still return?” Lin Xin Yi and Chen Xiao Han simultaneously asked.

Hearing the opposite say the same things as they did, both girls looked at each other, both with slightly red faces. Both were very clear on what the other was thinking.

Lu Xuan smiled: “Return, of course I’ll return! Isn’t it only killing a Xu Wen Yang? Wait until I have sufficient strength. I want to see if the Wind Sword Sect will choose to get revenge for a dead Xu Wen Yang or choose to raise a living Lu Xuan.”

Right now, although Lu Xuan was the most famous person in the inner sect, but above the inner sect, there was still the core disciples. To the Wind Sword Sect, although he would be previous, he wouldn’t be that rare. In order to main sect rules,it was very likely they would sacrifice Lu Xuan, but if Lu Xuan could display that he was far superior to inner sect disciples, even far surpassing ordinary core disciple levels, no one would sacrifice genius with extreme amounts of potential for a mere Xu Wen Yang.

“Then, when will you return?” Lin Xin Yi asked.

“During the great sect competition!” Lu Xuan vowed: “Once I return to the sword faction, I will repay my favor to Elder Xu. I am eternally grateful for what he did in Qing Mountain Village. In order to pay him back, I told him I would bring the sword faction take first place. I won’t go back on my words.”

“Great sect competition is only half a year away. Is such a short time enough?” Chen Xiao Han was a bit worried. Half a year’s time, for a normal person, was much too short.

“It’s enough. In that half year, I’ll try to improve to body refining eighth level. At that time, I’ll be enough to contend with body refining tenth level martial artists. Don’t speak of weeping away the inner sect, even facing core disciples, most likely I’ll still be able to win.” Lu Xuan’s tone was very self-confident. Most likely only he dared to speak such rhetoric.

For normal martial artists, improving by one level in a year was pretty good. Improving by half a year, their would potential must be extreme. And now, Lu Xuan was boasting that in half a year, he would improve from body refining sixth level to body refining eighth level.

Lu Xuan didn’t want to become body refining eighth level without reason. Although he didn’t know the strength of core disciples, he could use Xia Chen Xi as a reference. When he entered the Wind Sword Sect, Xia Chen Xi had been body refining sixth level. After a year, at most she would be body refining eighth level or perhaps hadn’t even reached yet. After all, the further along, the harder it was to improve.

“I believe you. Then I’ll wait for the day of the great sect competition for your return.” Lin Xin Yi confidently looked at Lu Xuan as she spoke. This was her man. The things other couldn’t do, her man definitely could.

“I also believe you.” Chen Xiao Han said not to be outdone: “By the time of the great sect competition, my dad will definitely have come back. At that time, with him here, those whatever blade faction or fist faction elders won’t think of easily harming you. You’re my dad’s honorary disciple. If he can’t even protect you, his face would be tarnished.”

Chen Xiao Han’s words weren’t wrong. Master-disciple relations were on of the most solid relations in cultivation.

Looking at the two women who believed in him, Lu Xuan’s heart gushed with pride. His goal was the entirety of the Sky Sword Continent. What did a mere Wind Sword Sect count as. Whether if it was for his martial path or for the people at his side, loving himself or loving others, they all needed him to continually increase in strength.

But even though he had set himself on leaving, Lu Xuan was still a bit worried for Lin Xin Yi, not knowing what the blade faction and fist faction would take their anger out on her if they couldn’t find him. Even if they didn’t do it openly, they might try to do something in the shadows.

Carefully mulling it over, Lu Xuan finally made up his mind. A jade slip jumped out of his storage ring into his hand. Then, closing his eyes, he recorded some information into the jade slip.

The jade slip’s use was like a book’s and was also used to store information, only, jade slips were even higher level. There were many things that a book had no way of storing and could only be drawn in a jade slip, especially things like cultivation techniques could only be felt that not verbally explained.

Without spending too much time, Lu Xuan’s tightly closed eyes once again opened and he handed the jade slip to Lin Xin Yi.

“Memorize it. For the time being, you don’t need to understand it, but you must memorize it. After you finish looking at it, destroy it.” Lu Xuan’s expression was somber as he spoke solemnly.

Hearing this, Lin Xin Yi obediently nodded her head and her divine sense entered it, beginning to go through the things that Lu Xuan had recorded in the jade slip.

But in only a moment, Lin Xin Yi’s divine sense exited the jade slip, her face looking at Lu Xuan filled with shock.

“This, this cultivation technique…”

Lu Xuan shook his head, interrupting Lin Xin Yi: “This matter can’t be mentioned to anyone. Absolutely do not reveal it. First look over it and after finishing, I’m going to destroy it.”

This time Lin Xin Yi no longer wasted any more words and once again entered the jade slip, quickly perceiving what Lu Xuan had recorded.

Without question, what Lu Xuan had given Lin Xin Yi was the Tai Yi Yuan Return Tactic cultivation technique!

However, Lu Xuan had only displayed the first six levels of the cultivation technique and hadn’t given the entire thing to Lin Xin Yi. The first six levels of the cultivation technique to Lin Xin Yi were already more than enough.

The reason he had given it to Lin Xin Yi was to allow her to quicken her cultivation so that, at least within the inner sect, there was a certain degree of assurance.

Also, he wasn’t worried that Lin Xin Yi would leak out the Tai Yi Yuan Return Tactic. Without even speaking of how Lin Xin Yi wouldn’t do such a stupid thing, even if she wanted to leak it, she didn’t have the ability.

The Tai Yi Yuan Return Tactic was extremely profound and couldn’t be depicted using books and could only use jade slips. And to depict a cultivation technique on a jade slip, one would need to train the cultivation technique to its limit and completely understand it. Lu Xuan was only able to do it because the Tai Yi Yuan Return tactic existed directly in his memories which Lin Xin Yi absolutely wouldn’t have.

(TN: So a jade slip or a sword crystal. Whatever works really)
