Chapter 567: Cheng Ying Sword Spirit

There were records of the Cheng Ying sword in history. It was said that it was found during the Shang dynasty and subsequently kept by Kong Zhou. It was said that an ordinary person had accidentally found the Cheng Ying sword by a tree trunk. There was nothing unusual about the tree under the invisible aurablade. It was only after the person walked further away that the tree suddenly collapsed with a crash.

Of course, Lu Shu felt that a lot of the things he knew had been passed down by word of mouth. He would still have to find out the truth by himself.

He remembered You Mingyu’s words that the sword recognized its owner by blood. When Lu Shu left, he had even reminded him that he could only do so when day turned to night and vice versa. There were only two chances per day. Thus, the first thing that he did when he reached home was to observe this sword.

Lu Shu sat in the backyard of his apartment. The Cheng Ying sword lay quietly in the wooden box. Lu Shu waited for the arrival of night. He was not afraid that he would miss the chance. Wasn’t it said before? The Cheng Ying sword would only reveal its true appearance when day turned to night and vice versa.

The dusk rays shone like a magnificent jewel. The moment the sun sunk below the horizon, a thin and slender sword appeared in the originally empty box in front of Lu Shu. The sword was semi-transparent, like colored glaze. The streamlined shape made Lu Shu touched. It was just too beautiful.

Even the blade of the Cheng Ying sword was unified with the rest of the sword. Just looking at the exterior of the sword, Lu Shu felt that the money Nie Ting had confiscated was worth it. The Heavenly Network was still somewhat reasonable!

Lu Shu gently placed his index finger on the sword blade. Even if his body was as tough as that of a Class B, the blade quickly created a wound on his finger.

The blood flowing from his finger flowed into the transparent Cheng Ying sword with huge celestial powers. It was like a drop of blood that fell into the water. There was a tinkling sound, before it spread like smoke.

Lu Shu’s senses suddenly linked with the Cheng Ying sword. The twilight disappeared very quickly. The Cheng Ying sword also returned to its transparent form, but Lu Shu could sense its presence very clearly.

Earlier on, Lu Shu was still worried that this sword was too transparent. What would he do if he accidentally misplaced it? Lu Shu suspected that after the Spring and Autumn period, it had disappeared because someone had misplaced it and could not find it…

But Lu Shu now realized that after the ritual of dripping blood and recognizing the owner, the owner of the sword could sense its presence.

He did not have to be worried about hurting himself. Lu Shu was also amused at his overly anxious self.

The blood circulated in the Cheng Ying sword like an ocean current until it had dissipated into every corner of the sword. Suddenly, something strange happened. A figure wearing a white robe floated from within the Cheng Ying sword.

Sword spirit! Lu Shu was pleasantly surprised. This sword was a mythical object that possessed a sword spirit.

Lu Shu finally determined that this sword was worth the money he had lost. But he did not know what function this sword spirit had.

Lu Shu fixed his eyes upon the sword spirit. The sword spirit was a male. The white robe that he wore made him seem like he was not from the modern times. What made Lu Shu surprised was that this sword spirit was completely in human form. Earlier, he had encountered the black dragon from the Black Dragon Spear and the golden snake. This was Lu Shu’s first time seeing a soul sword in human form, besides the Snowy Mountain sword spirit.

The sword spirit was handsome and light-hearted. There was a purple lotus in between his eyebrows. He was very elegant.

“Finally, I see the light of day,” the man said as he looked at the world in front of him.

Lu Shu suddenly asked, “You can speak? What is your name?”

He had seen other sword spirits in human form, but this was the only one who could speak. Didn’t this mean that this sword spirit was very impressive? Lu Shu was overjoyed!

The handsome man turned to look at Lu Shu. He said calmly, “You can call me Hai Gongzi.”

Hai Gongzi? What a strange name. Lu Shu asked, “What abilities do you have?”

Lu Shu did not sense any waves of aura from Hai Gongzi. But Lu Shu knew that Hai Gongzi definitely had some method of blocking waves of aura, like Nalan Que.

Hai Gongzi furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “Are you the current owner of the Cheng Ying sword?”

Lu Shu hurriedly nodded his head. “Yes, yes, yes, I am!”

“You are not suitable.” The moment Hai Gongzi finished speaking, he returned to the Cheng Ying sword like smoke…

Lu Shu was dumbfounded.

Heck!

What a troublesome sword spirit! Showing this kind of attitude to your owner?!

“Come out!” Lu Shu roared in a frenzy. “Did you hear me? Come out!”

Lu Shu’s voice was so loud that his neighbor came to take a look in alarm. The moment he stepped out, Lu Shu turned his head and said, “Not you. Go back!”

His neighbor was dumbfounded.

“From Wang Xiao’s distress, +199…”

Lu Shu once again looked at the Cheng Ying sword. His connection with the sword had not been broken because of Hai Gongzi’s hate. Thus, Lu Shu was very sure that he had become the official owner of the sword. This Cheng Ying sword was his now.

This also meant that the sword’s normal functions would not be affected. It was just that the sword spirit was somewhat troublesome.

This was not a big deal. At most, the sword spirit would not listen to his instructions. But Lu Shu could not bear this humiliation. Sword spirit, who do you hate?

Earlier, he had still thought that Nie Ting was nice enough to give him an ancient mythical object. But it turns out that it was a trick. Ha ha.

No wonder Nie Ting had told You Mingyu to remind Lu Shu that he needed to be patient while refining the sword. What, did he have to persuade Hai Gongzi patiently?

As if!

Lu Shu thought about it for a long time. Suddenly, he decided to drop another drop of blood. Hai Gongzi once again appeared as a result. His gaze was grave and stern. “In the future, do not call me for no reason.”

Lu Shu did not even get to shout at Hai Gongzi before Hai Gongzi returned to the sword.

Haha.

Lu Shu once again dropped a drop of blood and Hai Gongzi appeared once again. This time, Hai Gongzi was visibly suppressing his anger. Lu Shu was unhappy. “Who are you trying to trick? Don’t you know that I’m the owner of the Cheng Ying sword now? Don’t you have any awareness as a sword spirit?”

Hai Gongzi said with a dark expression. “I don’t want to fight you, but don’t provoke me either. It is best that we live in peace with each other. You are still too weak to become a suitable owner of the Cheng Ying sword.”

Hai Gongzi prepared to return to the Cheng Ying sword. But in less than one second, Lu Shu squeezed out another drop of blood. Hai Gongzi had not even fully returned into the sword before he came out again!

Hai Gongzi was confused.

Lu Shu laughed coldly. “I can’t help you now.”

I don’t want to fight you? Didn’t it mean that as a sword spirit, you could not fight your owner?

Hai Gongzi knew that he had been seen through. There was no point threatening Lu Shu. Hai Gongzi was very unhappy with the person in front of him. As Lu Shu had thought, he could not fight the owner of the Cheng Ying sword! This was his limit as a sword spirit!
