Chapter 90 Recognizing the Master
"Since your physical body is now unharmed, you should let it go."
Despite his appreciation, Luo Sifan was still sensible enough to gently place Shu Hongyi on the bench beside him.
Jiang Wanfeng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Senior Shu was alright!
Shu Hongyi leaned back in her chair, looking around with obvious surprise.
How did Zhan Jiao gain sentience? The ground is covered in blood, the severed limbs and claws of the demon beast are as sharp as mirrors, and the remaining sword energy is chilling. It is clearly the work of Zhan Jiao!
Shu Hongyi waved her hand, and Zhan Jiao swayed slightly, but still insisted on patrolling and monitoring under the painting, unmoved.
"Lin Xiaozhi?!"
Shu Hongyi immediately became suspicious and questioned Luo Sifan coldly. What happened to the promise of gifting the sword to the beauty? Why is he hiding some ulterior motive?
Sword cultivators are straightforward and honest; they wear their hearts on their sleeves.
Luo Sifan smiled and pretended to be stupid, his soul urging the horned dragon to return to its sword sheath.
The white light flowed like a shuttle, and the horned dragon obediently controlled the dragon-slaying sword to return to the scabbard tightly held in Shu Hongyi's hand.
Shu Hongyi snorted and let Luo Sifan go. She took the Dragon Slayer sword and examined it carefully. For the first time, she felt a little unsure about the sword in her hand.
This was the first time Shu Hongyi had ever encountered such an unruly and self-willed longsword!
A sword with a spirit? That's too high-end; Shu Hongyi didn't dare to even dream about it.
Besides, at Shu Hongyi's level, she has never had the opportunity to learn how to tame a sword spirit.
"Here you go!"
Shu Hongyi angrily handed over the dragon-slaying sword, feeling that Luo Sifan had ulterior motives, and simply refused to accept it.
Luo Sifan was taken aback by her action, then shook his head:
"Once something is given away, there's no reason to take it back."
Little did Luo Sifan know that although she possessed the skill to draw swords, she was unable to subdue the spirit within them.
Now I understand.
"Senior Shu, there are some tricks to this sword. Let me tell you! If you follow these instructions, you will be able to use it as you wish!"
Luo Sifan earnestly moved to sit next to Shu Hongyi, leaned over, and wanted to whisper something to her.
Shu Hongyi was startled, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and turned away in disgust.
"Let's talk this out! Why are you sitting so close?"
Luo Sifan was stunned:
"A unique skill, not to be passed on to more than six ears, senior!"
Shu Hongyi gritted her teeth and pondered silently, but in the end, she could not resist the temptation of the dragon-slaying power. She nodded slightly and straightened her body.
Luo Sifan covered his hands and ears, carefully explaining to Shu Hongyi the techniques and procedures of his own method of concealing spiritual energy within a vessel, which he had compiled into a simple operating method.
"The weapon's core? The sword spirit?"
Shu Hongyi's eyes widened in surprise and delight, but she became increasingly confused about Luo Sifan's intentions.
After Luo Sifan finished speaking, seeing that Shu Hongyi did not seem to understand, he smiled and withdrew his hand.
Shu Hongyi closed her eyes and digested what Luo Sifan had said for a while. She had never heard of it before, but after several deductions, it still made sense.
"Why would you give me such a divine object so easily?"
Shu Hongyi's eyes suddenly snapped open, her clear gaze fixed on Luo Sifan, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Luo Sifan had clearly done a good deed generously, but now he seemed somewhat guilty, his eyes darting around, and even his speech was not very fluent.
"This sword is destined for you, senior, but I am not quite compatible with it. So I'll just give it to you. Besides, only someone of your cultivation level is worthy of it. In this strange realm, it can ensure everyone's safety a bit more. This is my selfish calculation."
"is it?"
Shu Hongyi held the dragon-slaying sword in her hand, a half-smile on her face, seemingly enjoying Luo Sifan's bizarre state.
"Truly! Absolutely the truth! If I have uttered any falsehood, may I be struck by lightning!"
Luo Sifan put on a stern face and swore an oath.
"Alright! I'll trust you for now, and I won't return the sword to you!"
Shu Hongyi straightened her expression and spoke with dignified bearing.
Before grasping the Dragon-Slaying Blade, Shu Hongyi instantly entered a state of ecstasy. Clearly, she had followed Luo Sifan's instructions, breaking through with her divine soul and beginning the process of controlling the weapon's core.
Luo Sifan had personally handled this matter and summarized it concisely and accurately. Shu Hongyi was experienced and could apply what she learned to other situations. In just a few breaths, Luo Sifan's soul trembled slightly, and the projection of the Dragon-Slaying Weapon Heart was gradually erased.
The connection between the horned dragon and Luo Sifan's souls faded from strong to weak amidst the horned dragon's weeping and wailing, until the string broke silently.
Luo Sifan breathed a sigh of relief. The horned dragon kept acting cute deep in his soul, like an orphan who had been reunited with his child after a long separation, which really annoyed him.
Now we've finally gotten rid of Xiaoyi's pranks.
Shu Hongyi sat firmly, but her aura suddenly surged, startling Jiang Wanfeng.
Luo Sifan's eyes narrowed slightly as he was also stung by the sudden burst of fierce sword energy.
From its peak to its waning, Shu Hongyi instantly restrained the out-of-control sword energy, opened her eyes, and glanced at Luo Sifan with a somewhat strange expression.
"This horned dragon..."
Shu Hongyi was still trying to find the right words, finding it difficult to speak.
Luo Sifan knew what she wanted to ask, and waved his hands repeatedly:
"This guy has nothing to do with me! He's crazy, senior, you don't need to listen to his nonsense."
Shu Hongyi nodded, a look of understanding on her face.
"That should be the case, otherwise..."
Otherwise, it would be too outrageous! Shu Hongyi thought to herself: No matter how frivolous and lecherous this person is, he wouldn't even spare a dragon beast, would he?
Come to think of it, the Horned Dragon is a weapon spirit, so the Dragon-Slaying Sword is of extremely high quality. If it weren't for some flaws, why would Luo Sifan be willing to give it to her for nothing?
The more Shu Hongyi thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and the strange, blushing thoughts that had made her lose their appeal.
With sword in hand, Shu Hongyi's heroic spirit soared, and she stood up proudly:
"continue!"
He headed towards the desk and bookshelf by the window, taking larger steps than before, showing more caution.
Luo Sifan and Jiang Wanfeng exchanged a glance and tactfully followed behind.
With no further obstacles along the way, Shu Hongyi and Luo Sifan each found a bookcase and began to browse.
There are books in rolls, booklets, boxes, and even books with animal hide pages.
The oppressive force remained undiminished. Luo Sifan and Shu Hongyi focused their attention on examining the items one by one, their brows furrowing slightly.
The vast collection of books was indeed tempting, but when they picked them up to look at them, neither of them recognized a single word.
The drawings are numerous and complex, some even resembling graphic depictions; it's unclear whether they are secret codes or foreign scripts.
Jiang Wanfeng also excitedly moved closer, flipped through a few books, and his face fell.
Shu Hongyi and Jiang Wanfeng both came for Xu Yuanxiang's treasure. The room full of books had raised their hopes, but after putting in a lot of effort, they couldn't read a single word of it, which inevitably disappointed them greatly.
"Senior Shu! How about it?"
Jiang Wanfeng steeled himself, cupped his hands together, and made a gesture.
Judging from his expression, he seemed to be suggesting that Shu Hongyi loot everything here, pack it up, and take it away for future reference.
Luo Sifan was unaware of Shu and Jiang's ambitions. The two men's undisguised actions and expressions startled him, and a sense of unease began to rise in his heart.
Shu Hongyi hesitated, her beautiful eyes lingering between the two rows of bookshelves, unable to decide whether to choose the most imposing ones or simply take them all.
