Chapter 129: 129, Shocking! The Big Senior Brother Turns Out to be a Trend-chaser!

Translator: 549690339

The master is the most mysterious person in the Heavenly Dust Continent, a fact that everyone recognizes.

Even as his disciple, little is known about the master’s past.

The reason for his mystery is his age. He lived for so long that no one knows his actual age anymore.

Therefore, it is hard to tell whether the master’s former acquaintances were from hundreds or thousands of years ago…

Just when Lu Xun wanted to press for more information, he was interrupted by the master.

The master took a sip of hot tea, leisurely saying, “Leaving it on the mountain merely provides Little Chan with another choice, another option for her future journey of cultivating the Natural Sword Embryo.”

Lu Xun picked up the tea pot on the table and began to pour tea for the master.

Still gazing at the moon, the master said, “It’s a good thing she didn’t pick up

The Sword Qi is Near. The world already has a Yan Li. We don’t need a second.”

Fireflies danced around them. The master raised his hand, and a firefly alighted on his raised orachis, exuding charm.

Lu Xun asked, “Master, do you mean to say that if Lin Chan acquired The Sword Qi is Near, she can only walk the same path as the eldest brother?”

“Correct.” The master nodded.

He waved his hand, shooing away the firefly that had landed on his pinky, then continued, “Do you know why this is?”

Lu Xun pondered for a moment then tentatively responded, “Because The Sword Qi is Near is already a sword at its limit?”

“You are quick-witted.” The master praised Lu Xun, an affirmation of his guess.

Mao Nanbei had mentioned to Lu Xun a phrase said by the master—there is no end to techniques, but there are limits to things.

With the Sword Cultivating Technique, the eldest brother has brought The Sword Qi is Near to its limit. This could potentially restrict Lin Chan’s path as a Sword Cultivator.

Lu Xun did not fully understand this, but since the master stated it so confidently, it surely would have some effect on Lin Chan.

The Broken Sword, in contrast to The Sword Qi is Near, barely had a hint of Sword Spirit left, representing the extreme opposite.

For the Broken Sword, Lin Chan essentially reformed its Sword Spirit, giving new life to this dying sword!

While Lu Xun did not know how this would impact the path of cultivation, there was no reason for the master to harm Lin Chan. Thus, these changes might represent a great opportunity for her!

Not to mention, even the rewards given by the Guide Mission were so abundant that there was no way they could be wrong!

The master seemed reluctant to discuss who this old acquaintance was, so Lu Xun did not press further, not wanting to upset the master. However, he did think that he should at least know the name of the Broken Sword. Thus, he asked, “Master, what is the name of this Broken Sword?”

Gazing at the night sky, the master showed a gentle smile on his face. “I helped name this sword.”

“It’s called Partridge Sky.” he said softly.

Inside the house, Lin Chan had her eyes closed, practicing the Qi Consumption Technique. She was oblivious to the outside world.

Little Mute didn’t even know that his beautiful master had exited her seclusion.

As the master pronounced the name of the Broken Sword, the sword that Lin Chan had placed on the table trembled slightly.

Outside the small study, Lu Xun quietly repeated the name of the Broken Sword several times, then asked, “Why does it, like The Sword Qi is Near and Wind Stabilizing Wave, also share referenced terms from poetic meter?”

He didn’t think it was a coincidence.
