Chapter 18: 18

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The person in charge of the Reward and Punishment Pavilion was Han Yaozong, the younger brother of the master.

Han Yaozong looked much younger than Han Yaozu, even though they were about the same age.

“You are Lu Yu.” Han Yaozong sized up Lu Yu and said, “Your whistle sounded just in time. The intruders did not cause much damage to the inner court. It was all thanks to you.”

“Pavilion Master, you flatter me. This is our responsibility as courtyard guards.”

“You’re humble, good! Being humble allow you to improve more. But sometimes, it’s better not to be too low-key. Some resources are only available to geniuses.” Han Yaozong said with a slight sigh.

He suddenly asked, “You’re already at the third level of the body refining realm?”

Lu Yu was shocked, “How did he know?” He sneaked a glance at Han Yaozong’s face and confirmed that this was the first time he had seen him. Moreover, he had just broken through to the third level of the body refining realm not long ago. 

Zhang Lun was very surprised when he heard Han Yaozong’s words. Lu Yu was an ordinary person who had never cultivated more than ten days ago. It was unbelievable that he had reached the third level of the body refining realm in less than ten days.

As far as he knew, it took the young master more than a month to break through to the third level of the body refining realm.

In that case, Lu Yu was even more talented than the young master!

Zhang Lun looked at Lu Yu carefully and thought, “No wonder uncle valued him so much.”

Furthermore, Zhang Lun did not think that Han Yaozong would make such a mistake. As far as he knew, Han Yaozong was the strongest person in the Han Residence.

It was very likely that Han Yaozong had already broken through to the qi cultivating realm. However, Zhang Lun had never seen Han Yaozong fight, so he was not entirely sure if Han Yaozong had reached the qi mastery realm.

“Yes, I broke through when I encountered danger last night.” Han Yaozong could see his level, so he simply admitted it.

However, Lu Yu was a little curious. He thought, “How could Han Yaozong know my level (realm)? Could this be a passive skill of a high-realm martial art cultivator?”

“Hahaha!” Seeing that Lu Yu was so honest, Han Yaozong smiled and said, “Your talent is outstanding, and you have made a great contribution. If I let you stay in the outer court, it would be a waste of your talent.”

“How about this? You move into the inner court now. Zhang Lun, remember to take him to register later.”

“Yes.” Zhang Lun replied.

Han Yaozong stretched out his right hand. He didn’t make any movements, and a blue-covered cultivation technique book, two bottles of pills, and a small cloth bag appeared in his hand.

Noticing that Han Yaozong had a black ring on his finger, Lu Yu guessed that it was a storage ring.

When Zhang Lun looked at the ring, he revealed an envious look. Storage treasures were very rare. Han Yaozu and Han Yaozong were probably the only two people in the Han Residence who had storage treasures.

When he saw the small cloth bag, Lu Yu’s eyes lit up. This cloth bag was the same as the one he had received from the logistics department, which contained money. It was most likely also money.

His mind immediately became active, “Did I have enough money to buy credits?”

Noticing that Lu Yu was attracted by the money bag, Han Yaozong was speechless. Other people would think of ways to get the cultivation technique. However, Lu Yu did not even look at the cultivation technique book. He was obviously more interested in the money.

“Take it. This cultivation technique is the Flowing Water Fist. It can be cultivated to the pinnacle of the body refining realm. The Han Residence also has the advanced spirit class cultivation technique. Of the two bottles of pills, one is the body enhancing pill, and the other is the qi-blood pill. There is a total of 200 gold in the bag. You can go and buy a handy weapon.”

After taking the things and hesitating for a moment, Lu Yu returned the cultivation technique to Han Yaozong.

“Why? Are you not satisfied?” Han Yaozong’s tone became cold. He did not expect that this Lu Yu was someone who would refuse the cultivation technique.

Lu Yu shook his head and explained, “No, I’m very satisfied with the reward that the Han Residence gave me.”

“But in this battle, I found that my fist was at a disadvantage when facing a weapon, so I want to change it to a saber or sword technique.”

He added, “An ordinary saber or sword technique would be fine.”

Han Yaozong’s expression softened, and he smiled again. “Okay! Actually, after cultivating to the qi cultivating realm, the gap between the fist and saber techniques is not as huge as you think.”

“But if you want to change, I’ll change it for you. Let me look… I found it. I obtained this saber technique when I was traveling outside in the early years, but it’s only half of it. It’s not a problem to cultivate it to the peak of the body refining realm.”

Han Yaozong put away the Flowing Water Fist technique and handed a piece of rags to Lu Yu. There was a saber technique recorded on it, but only the first half was torn off.

“I don’t know the name of this saber technique, so I call it the Nameless Saber Technique.” Han Yaozu said.

Lu Yu was speechless, but he still thanked him for helping him.

“Thank you, Pavilion Master.”

“You just have to remember we Han Residence treats you well. There’s no need to thank me,” Han Yaozong waved his hand and spoke.

“Zhang Lun, take him to register.” Han Yaozong said and walked to the second floor of the reward pavilion.

“Yes.” Zhang Lun took Lu Yu away. After the two of them went to the manager of the inner court to register, he took Lu Yu to pack up and move into the inner court.

The place allocated to Lu Yu was much bigger than the outer court. The inner court was the real courtyard, while the outer court was like the corridor used to hang clothes.

There was a green tree in the courtyard that was thicker than Lu Yu’s waist. There was one in each courtyard, but the height of the tree was different.

Seeing Lu Yu looking at the tree in the courtyard, Zhang Lun said, “This is a variant of the spirit gathering tree — the spirit converging tree. The spirit gathering tree is a rare tree species planted in some big families and government academies. It can increase the concentration of the surrounding spiritual energy and improve the cultivation effect.”

“The spirit gathering tree is very rare. Han Residence doesn’t have one either. However, the spirit converging tree, which has a weaker effect, is planted everywhere in the inner courtyard of the Han Residence.”

“Although the effects are much weaker, it’s still better to have nothing. At least it can add some greenery. When I see the vibrant spirit converging tree, my mood will also be better.”

Lu Yu nodded in agreement with what he said. It was indeed beneficial to look at the greenery more often to maintain a good mood.

Previously, Lu Yu had thought that the trees in the inner courtyard were planted to beautify the environment. He did not expect them to have such functions.

However, Lu Yu did not sense any difference between the surroundings of the spirit converging tree and the outer courtyard. The air was not fresher, and he could not feel the spiritual energy that Zhang Lun had mentioned.

After Zhang Lun helped Lu Yu move, he said, “Now that you are the courtyard guard of the inner courtyard, you do not need to continue on duty in the outer courtyard. Moreover, due to the invasion of the black-clothed men, many guards of the inner courtyard have suffered casualties.”

“Therefore, there are some key areas that are lacking in manpower. Butler Zhang wants you to go to Windmill Town and be responsible for the safety of some of the Han Residence’s shops in town. You can also help Butler Zhang.”

“Go to the town?” Lu Yu looked at Zhang Lun and was a little excited. He could finally leave the Han Residence to take a look. He had stayed in this novice village for such a long time.

Lu Yu first waited for Zhang Lun’s notice at his new home. He was not the only one who was going to town.

He counted the things he had obtained today. There was a total of 10 body enhancing pills, 12 qi-blood pills, 230 gold coins, and an incomplete Nameless Saber Technique book.

The pills and the Nameless Saber Technique were the most valuable ones. Their value far exceeded the money he had obtained.

Lu Yu used the scanning function in the system store to search for the Nameless Saber Technique. He found that he could really buy the follow-up cultivation technique of the Nameless Saber Technique.

Because he had a portion of the saber technique, the total price was 30% off, and it required 700,000 points.

The system store showed that the real name of the Nameless Saber Technique was — Edgeless Blade Technique. It was a spirit class third grade saber technique, and its power was even stronger than many spirit class fourth grade saber techniques.

The reason why it was spirit class third grade instead of spirit class fourth grade was because the cultivation direction of this saber technique was too extreme.

The Edgeless Blade Technique emphasized one word — heavy.

The blade had to be heavy, which required huge strength to swing around. It had to be used with indomitable force, breaking through ten thousand techniques with a single move.

The creator firmly believed that attack was the best defense, so the Edgeless Blade Technique did not have any defensive moves. The technique focused on how to unleash the greatest power.

The technique only had one move — Heaven’s Fall.

The first half of the technique focused on how to cultivate qi-blood, using qi-blood to unleash the strongest attack. The second half focused on how to cultivate spiritual energy, using spiritual energy to combine qi-blood to unleash even stronger attack.

The Edgeless Blade Technique was all about explosive attack, which was why it was comparable to a spirit class fourth grade saber technique.

Perhaps one day, after he had saved up 70,000 gold coins, he could buy the second half of the Edgeless Blade Technique.

However, it was better not to think so far ahead now. He was only at body refining third realm and was still far from the qi cultivating realm.

He chose to learn the first half of the Edgeless Blade Technique, and it was quickly loaded.

[ New cultivation technique comprehended — Edgeless Blade Art (first level ]

[ New skill comprehended — Edgeless Blade Technique — Heaven’s Fall (beginner) ]

Edgeless Blade Art required 1,000 experience points, while upgrading Edgeless Blade Technique required 2,000 experience points.

Lu Yu gave up leveling up the new skill, he did not have enough experience points.

Moreover, Lu Yu could not even use the Edgeless Blade Technique either.

His newbie level was not enough to support him to unleash the power of Heaven’s Fall, so even if he used it forcefully, it might not be as powerful as the Fierce Tiger Fist Style.

Looking at the 837 experience points he had now, Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, but still did not use it. He wanted to wait and see if there was a chance to gather 1,000 experience points to upgrade the Edgeless Blade Art.

After learning the Edgeless Blade Art, Zhang Lun had not come over yet, so Lu Yu practiced the Fierce Tiger Fist Style.

Now that he did not have the saber that met the requirements, he could not practice the Edgeless Blade Art, so he could only practice the Fierce Tiger Fist Style first.

Anyway, before he cultivated to the seventh level of the body refining realm, the Fierce Tiger Fist Style still had the effect of increasing his qi-blood.

Cultivating under the spirit converging tree, Lu Yu found that the qi-blood in his body seemed to be more active than before, and the speed of the growth of his qi-blood increased slightly.

“Looks like this spirit converging tree is really useful.”

When Zhang Lun brought the news to Lu Yu’s courtyard, he saw that Lu Yu was actually cultivating in his free time while waiting for the news. He couldn’t help but feel admiration in his heart.

He thought to himself, “It seems that it’s reasonable for him to be able to reach the third level of the body refining realm so quickly. His talent is stronger than others, and he’s even more hardworking in cultivation.”

“I also want to learn from him and cherish every minute of cultivation time!”

After Zhang Lun reflected himself, he waited for Lu Yu to finish a set of fist techniques before coming in to tell him to prepare to set off..
