There Really Is a Blade Spirit

Chapter 43: There Really Is a Blade Spirit

Liu Qingnu's heart was already in his throat.

His gaze followed closely, to the spinning long saber falling from mid-air.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, it flashed with a murderous gleam.

Closer, even closer.

Two breaths.

In two breaths, this saber would reach Lin Yi's arm.

He knew how sharp this saber was.

It was the sharpest he had ever seen, even sharper than his master's saber.

If it grazed him, without any doubt, the madman in front of him would have his arm severed without resistance.

Instantly.

A flicker of confusion crossed Liu Qingnu's mind.

Why, why did he dare to stand there?

Was he not afraid of losing his arm because of this?

How could his martial spirit be so fearless?

Of course, Lin Yi couldn't hear his thoughts.

Lin Yi had already activated [Strong Luck].

At the same time, True Qi attached to his five senses, focusing on listening to the whistling of the saber above.

The blade spun, chopping the surrounding airflow, emitting sharp whistling sounds.

Time passed quietly, and the two breaths vanished in an instant.

In a flash, Lin Yi suddenly opened his eyes.

At the same time, the spinning blade finally reached Lin Yi's arm.

The blade grazed Lin Yi's arm, spinning and embedding itself deeply into the ground.

It sank into the soft earth, more than a foot deep.

"Hoo..." Liu Qingnu let out a long breath.

He looked at Lin Yi's arm with lingering fear.

A faint smile played on Lin Yi's calm lips as he looked at Liu Qingnu.

"Brother Liu, it seems the Blade Spirit in this saber has taken a liking to me. This saber and I are fated."

Liu Qingnu nodded with a hint of dejection.

Lin Yi smiled.

Liu Qingnu was much as he had expected. Although there was pride in his eyes, he was upright and honorable. Even in defeat, he was magnanimous and wouldn't quibble.

Lin Yi cupped his hands towards Master Wu: "Thank you, old sir."

"Go, go..." Master Wu impatiently shooed him away.

Lin Yi chuckled and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Liu Qingnu's voice called from behind.

"?" Lin Yi turned his head.

"My name is Liu Qingnu. Brother, what should I call you?" Liu Qingnu asked solemnly.

"Lin Yi," Lin Yi waved his hand and turned to leave.

Seeing Lin Yi leave, Liu Qingnu also stopped lingering and turned to leave.

Master Wu called out to Liu Qingnu: "Young man, the Nuo Masks on my stall are also quite good. Winter Solstice is coming soon, would you like to buy a Nuo Mask to wear?"

Master Wu smiled, then picked up a Town Sha Mask from the stall – one with fierce, bulging fangs, a single horn on its forehead, and predominantly red and black colors – and beckoned to Liu Qingnu.

"Hmm?" Liu Qingnu took it curiously.

A moment later.

Looking at Liu Qingnu's receding back.

Master Wu couldn't help but curve his lips slightly.

If Lin Yi were here, he could have clearly seen using [Observe Heavenly Fate].

Liu Qingnu's Aura of Fortune, compared to when he first saw him, had dimmed considerably.

In contrast, Master Wu's body was strangely coated with a faint golden glow.

Master Wu let out a soft sigh and remarked, "The Luck Borrowing Technique has finally succeeded."

The Luck Borrowing Technique was a type of sinister secret art.

The bookshelf grouping function has been added, allowing multiple books to be added to a group (categorized). If you have any suggestions after using it, please let us know, and we will make modifications.

One can borrow the aura of fortune from others, but the side effects are often immense.

Master Wu's Luck Borrowing Technique is considered a more advanced and gentle method.

By using treasures imbued with the Attached Secret Art, one can sell them at a low price to individuals with strong auras of fortune, thereby borrowing a portion of their aura.

However, for every loan, there is a repayment.

The borrowed aura of fortune will last for a maximum of three months before gradually returning to its original owner.

This method is gentler and more sophisticated than the usual forceful plundering of auras of fortune, resulting in minimal side effects for this secret art, with only a loss of lifespan.

This is also why, over the years, Master Wu has often sold treasures at low prices.

"Lin Yi..." Master Wu softly muttered the name several times, his gaze filled with an inexplicable emotion.

Lin Yi, who appeared today, was quite an unexpected occurrence.

"How did he know that the blade truly contained a Remnant Spirit? Logically, the Remnant Spirit's consciousness is decayed and almost dissipated; even I couldn't sense it. How did he know..." Master Wu raised an eyebrow.

If Lin Yi knew what Master Wu was thinking, he would likely cry out in injustice.

He had no idea if there was a True Spirit within the blade; he was merely finding an excuse to keep Lin Qingnu following his lead.

It was convenient to use [Strong Luck] to trick the blade into his possession.

"Enough." Master Wu's eyes sharpened, and he thought to himself, "Heh, no matter who you are, you better have an immense aura of fortune. I've been researching that blade for over ten years with no results. I hope you can bring me a surprise."

"Until then, my eyes will be fixed on you!"

After leaving the West Market.

Lin Yi did not return to the martial arts school but went straight back to the Lin Clan.

No one was at the Lin Clan.

Lin Xiuwen had also been taken away since the day Lin Yi met his second uncle, Lin Changgong.

Upon returning to his room.

Lin Yi sat on the bed.

The [Know Heavenly Fate] template appeared before his eyes.

[Know Heavenly Fate]

[Destiny Points: 15500]

When he threw the blade, he lost another 1,500 Destiny Points using Strong Luck.

Today's Fortune [Great Omen].

[Great Omen]

[Today, at dusk, in Jiaqing County's West Market, Master Wu will sell treasures in a secluded alleyway in the West Market to those with a prosperous aura of fortune. There lies a great opportunity at the stall.]

[Two pieces of Destiny Intelligence]

[First, do not purchase any items actively recommended by shopkeepers in the West Market today.]

[Second, on your way back, beware of countless eyes watching you...]

[Third, do not tell anyone that you can see... her.]

[Received today's Great Omen opportunity, Destiny Points +10000]

[Current Destiny Points: 25500]

Fortunately, after receiving the Great Omen opportunity today, the Destiny Points were replenished, and he even earned over five thousand more Destiny Points.

It was quite a profitable venture.

"Why do you keep ignoring me?"

A clear and ethereal voice came from his side.

Lin Yi glanced sideways at the bed beside him.

Next to the blade sat a maiden of exquisite beauty, with snow-white hair and a red lotus blooming on her forehead. She looked at Lin Yi with a puzzled expression.

Lin Yi finally turned his head and looked at the maiden before him with a complex expression.

The maiden's expressionless eyes lit up: "I knew you could see me!"

Lin Yi was truly bewildered.

Ever since he saw the second piece of Destiny Intelligence—beware of countless eyes watching you—after he got the blade, he was so afraid that some Ghosts and Monsters would appear and cause trouble that he rushed back to his residence without delay.

But halfway back, this girl from within the blade appeared, startling him.

However, Lin Yi was, after all, a person who had weathered many storms. After a moment of bewilderment and shock, he carried the maiden before him and returned home.

Lin Yi never expected that.

He had merely intended to find an excuse, saying the blade had a spirit, to gamble with that Liu Qingnu.

He never imagined that there was actually an Artifact Spirit within the blade!
