The Bamboo House was a cozy little home.
Han Shuangjiang busied herself making dinner, Xu Ziqing busied himself doing the laundry, and Chu Huai Xu soaked in a hot bath in the wooden tub.
Naturally, Little Xu had heated the water as well.
The torrential rain outside had almost stopped, but judging by the situation, it would still be best to dry the clothes indoors.
Chu Huai Xu soaked in the hot water, utterly relaxed, and slowly closed his eyes.
He began planning for the period ahead.
"The East-West Continent Grand Competition is almost here."
"I'm still at the First Realm Third Layer Heaven, so I need to hurry and raise my strength."
"Cultivation is only one aspect. I need to learn skills, too."
He definitely intended to learn the Six Severances that Little Xu had given him.
He was greatly tempted by an Earth Grade Sorcery of this level.
The prices of high-grade sorceries in the Scripture Pavilion were extremely expensive, about the same as those of Cultivation Methods above the Fifth Realm.
Those powerful sorceries with excellent reputations might even cost a little more.
"With my current Contribution Points from the sect, I can't even afford a Profound Grade Sorcery. I can only choose from the Yellow Grade ones."
"But at my current realm, Yellow Grade is actually enough."
"Of course, Profound Grade would be best."
This was really a matter of cost-effectiveness.
With the same amount of Experience Points, he might be able to raise a Yellow Grade skill to max level, while a Earth Grade skill would only reach the beginner stage.
Besides, the skills he needed to learn weren't limited to Sword Art. He also needed Movement Techniques, protective techniques, and so on.
Therefore, Chu Huai Xu had to learn how to make certain trade-offs.
