[Innate Sword Embryo]

At this moment, Lu Xun had cursed the Damn Game countless times in his heart.

It was supposed to be a one-click upgrade, so why was it so torturous?

At first, he felt warm, moist, comfortable, and fulfilling.

But later on, he felt like his body was about to explode!

He couldn't take it anymore!

Fortunately, at a certain critical point, the small sword within his Sword Heart finally successfully solidified.

Lu Xun felt the small sword within his body and felt a sense of disappointment.

After all, he used to wield a big stick. Now, he could accept a gorgeous longsword, but what was this thin, short, needle-like little light sword in his Sword Heart?

"So... Sword Nurturing Art is about nurturing a small sword within the Sword Heart? Interesting." Lu Xun didn't realize he had narrowed his path for the time being.

Although his experience points had dropped from over ten thousand to 650, he didn't regret it at all.

An Orange-Grade Skill! A supreme technique of the Tian Chen Continent!

Although he didn't know exactly how strong this Sword Nurturing Art was yet, it was definitely awesome.

He would ask the little loli and Second Senior Sister later to try and adapt to the small sword within his body as soon as possible.

Lu Xun let out a long breath, his tense body began to relax, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

Most novels would describe something like a sharp, sword-like glint flashing in his eyes, but he didn't have that.

Aside from being excessively handsome, he was quite ordinary, seemingly no different from before.

Mao Nanbei quickly walked up to Lu Xun, her small hands groping all over his body, and then anxiously and concernedly asked, "Little Martial Brother, do you feel anything wrong with your body?"

She was really scared. Teacher hadn't returned to the sect yet, and she had messed up Little Martial Brother due to her negligence. That would be a sin!

Moreover, Little Martial Brother's food is so delicious, I can't lose him!

Lu Xun met Mao Nanbei's gaze and shook his head, saying, "No, is there a problem, Fourth Senior Sister?"

"That's good, that's good! You're really lucky!" She let out a long breath and patted Lu Xun's shoulder.

After saying that, she added as if with lingering fear, "Little Martial Brother, you rashly cultivated just now, you must have failed, right? It's good that you didn't suffer any backlash!"

"Let me tell you, Sword Nurturing Art is a top-tier technique, you need to slowly comprehend it. Before you fully understand it, remember not to practice it, otherwise something big will happen!"

She also pointed to the two golden bells on her wrist and said, "And look, you don't have this kind of Natal Treasure yet. Even if you practice, you won't achieve anything."

Lu Xun listened attentively at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

Natal Treasure?

Does that mean I need to have a suitable sword?

He started to feel confused, organized his thoughts, and said, "Fourth Senior Sister, I think I succeeded in cultivating just now, but after hearing you say that... it seems like I failed again."

Damn it, wouldn't these ten thousand experience points be wasted?

But the system clearly marked it as upgradable!

Damn system! Forcibly upgrading, huh?

Clearly, Mao Nanbei exuded an unreliable aura from the inside out, so she grabbed Lu Xun and hurried towards the Small Bamboo Forest.

Inside the Bamboo Forest, Second Senior Sister sat on a boulder, listening to Mao Nanbei and Lu Xun's account, her expression becoming serious again.

Both she and Mao Nanbei felt a bit incredulous in their hearts.

Second Senior Sister was also practicing Sword Nurturing Art, while Mao Nanbei used a saber, so she was practicing Saber Nurturing Art.

Both of them knew very well that this technique was not so easy to get started with, nor was it so easy to comprehend.

Lu Xun had indeed practiced the Sword Nurturing Art, that was a fact, but… he seemed to have really gone down the wrong path!

Now the question was, to what extent had he strayed, and was there still a chance to correct him?

Second Senior Sister gently waved her wide Daoist Robe sleeves, and Lu Xun was lifted up by a stream of air, then floated cross-legged in front of Second Senior Sister.

He had mostly seen Second Senior Sister's back, occasionally catching a glimpse of her profile, but this was the first time he had faced her so closely.

How should he put it? Second Senior Sister's face was consistent with the feeling she gave as a whole—thin.

Not the kind of thin that made her look unattractive, on the contrary, Second Senior Sister gave a very unique feeling, a bit like a winter plum blossom in the snow.

Her eyebrows were very fine, her lips were also slightly thin, and her face was very slender, as if everything was at its limit. It felt as if her eyebrows were any thinner, her lips any thinner, her face any thinner, she would be unattractive, but at this moment it was just right.

But Lu Xun still felt that Second Senior Sister was too thin, if her cheeks were just a tiny bit rounder, she would be even more beautiful.

Just looking at her temperament and appearance, she would give a sense of distance, because she revealed a trace of aloofness from the inside out, but Lu Xun could see a hint of concern in her eyes.

She also noticed that Lu Xun was sizing her up, and stammered, "Close… close your eyes, calm… calm your mind!"

Second Senior Sister was slightly annoyed.

Lu Xun obediently closed his eyes, and then calmed his mind.

Second Senior Sister's divine sense began to explore his changes, Lu Xun's body had no abnormalities.

The Sword Heart was located near the Qi Sea, and the Qi Sea was the most mysterious place for cultivators. Even cultivators with profound cultivation could not arbitrarily explore other people's Qi Sea, so the Sword Heart was blocked by the Qi Sea, making it difficult to be detected by divine sense.

Since there was nothing wrong with his body and cultivation, then she had to see what changes had occurred in Lu Xun's Sword Heart.

Since divine sense could not detect it, Second Senior Sister took off her sword—the Wooden Hairpin inserted in her hair!

Her right hand made a gesture in the air, and the Wooden Hairpin flew between her and Lu Xun, turning into a Wooden Sword.

As the Wooden Hairpin was removed, Second Senior Sister's coiled hair fell down, fluttering in the wind, which added a touch of softness to her aloof face.

It was a pity that Lu Xun was closing his eyes, so he couldn't see it.

Her fair and slender fingers pinched a sword seal, and the Wooden Sword emitted a slight Sword Qi sound.

It was conceivable that this Wooden Sword already possessed quite a bit of spirituality.

At this moment, the small sword in Lu Xun's Sword Heart also trembled, as if it had been provoked!

"Hiding the sword in his heart?" Second Senior Sister said in her heart.

She was almost certain that Lu Xun's Sword Nurturing Art had indeed been successfully practiced, and he had really entered the door.

It was just that he didn't have a Natal Treasure yet, so there were some deviations.

But in theory… this shouldn't be the result.

How could the human body be used to nurture a sword?

Unless… Little Martial Brother was really the legendary type of physique!

Earlier, he glanced at the half-path of Sword Qi in Reception Peak and condensed the Sword Heart. Whether it was Shen Yan or Second Senior Sister, they were all guessing in that direction.

Now, hiding the sword in his heart and nurturing the sword with his body was almost equivalent to confirming it!

Second Senior Sister couldn't help but blurt out: "Innate Sword Embryo!"
