Chapter 357: 357, [Tool Man, Follow Me]
“Why would it be like this?” Lu Xun was puzzled.
He could understand the full screen of “???”, but what ghost is this uninvestigable?
The master rarely turned his head to look at Lu Xun, asking, “What’s wrong?”
He didn’t know if he had noticed Lu Xun’s gaze, his eyes intertwined with Lu Xun for a moment.
Lu Xun cleared his throat, then pushed the dish of candied sweet potato in front of him to the master, a bit stiffly said, “Master, try the new dish that your disciple made today. If you wait a bit longer, the fourth sister will eat it all.”
Mao Nanbei: “Meow meow meow?”
The master didn’t say anything, quietly took a bite, and then nodded, “It tastes good.”
The little black cat lifted its paw, gently tugged at Lu Xun’s robe, then pointed at the candied sweet potato, implying that she wanted more.
Lu Xun could only serve her more, and then put it in her bowl.
The cultivation base of Mao Nanbei was recovering quite quickly. At this rate, she would be able to transform again in a few days.
Lu Xun still missed her little girl form a lot.
The reason was simple and there was no shame in admitting it, it was because she looked cute and adorable!
Well?
But once she transformed, the opportunities to pet the cat would be much less…
He was momentarily conflicted about this.
“No matter, I’ll just have to pet her a few more times these days.” he told himself.
And so, while eating, Lu Xun began to size up the little black cat’s tail.
According to Mao Nanbei, that part was not supposed to be touched.

The next day, Lu Xun got up early and took Lin Chan to the foot of Hidden Mountain to find Elder Gui and learn the second move—Sting.
Before Elder Gui demonstrated, he indeed asked Lu Xun and Lin Chan to show their practice outcomes of this period.
Lu Xun stood aside, holding the Sword Sheath, his body slightly leaning forward, knees bent.
He placed his right hand at the mouth of the Sword Sheath. Although he didn’t have a sword, there was Sword Qi inside the Sword Sheath!
He exercised the Sword Drawing Technique, a Sword Qi flew out of the Sword Sheath, and under his control, it traced a semicircular arc in the air, as if it tore the air apart, making a sound of breaking air.
Whether it was strong or not for the time being, at least when performed by him with “Charisma 10”, it was cool enough.
Lin Chan stood on the side watching, somewhat entranced for a moment.
After staring blankly for a few seconds, she realized that something was wrong with her focus, and added in her heart: “Master cultivates so fast!”
She could tell that Lu Xun’s Sword Drawing Technique was much more advanced than hers.
Seeing Little Chan’s admiring gaze, Lu Xun looked calm and composed, but in his heart, he felt that the experience points were well spent.
Elder Gui stood aside, slowly nodding his head, indicating satisfaction.
Next, it was Lin Chan’s turn.
She took out the Partridge Sky from her Storage Ring.
Looking at the very different Partridge Sky, Elder Gui was momentarily lost.
After Lin Chan had demonstrated her cultivation outcomes, Elder Gui was still staring at the Broken Sword in Lin Chan’s hand for a long time before recovering.
He laughed a little apologetically and nodded towards Lin Chan, affirming her before starting to instruct them about Sting.
As usual, he kept demonstrating over and over while Lu Xun and Lin Chan embodied his teachings.
When Elder Gui was at the 15th demonstration, a prompt popped up in front of Lu Xun, and he straight away chose “Learn”.
“This time seems faster than the last one, last time it was after the 20th round that the skill prompt appeared.” Lu Xun thought to himself.
He reckoned this was because his Sword Dao Aptitude had increased by 1 point, and the Sword Dao realm had reached the completion of the Sword Intent!
After Lin Chan and Lu Xun had both achieved entry level, Elder Gui put down his crutch, waved at them and signaled that they could leave.
After Lu Xun and Lin Chan bowed to him, they took out their paper cranes and flew towards the back mountain.
Elder Gui didn’t go into the house right away, instead, leaning on his crutch, he stood looking at their distant figures.
After a while, he lowered his head, his cloudy eyes filled with complex emotions and deep longing.
Then, he sighed lightly and slowly walked into the cabin.
