I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal Chapter 196 - 158: Seeing the Sword as Seeing Me
The ten sculptural sword-shaped ornants, which were considered for a control experint from the outset, had almost simultaneously established a super visual-range position perception connection.
Basically, a lot of questions had been answered.
First,
different materials didn’t affect the patina process.
Jade Swords and purple sandalwood swords of the sa mass were completed with their patina at exactly the sa ti.
But mass difference did matter, as the larger swords took a few seconds longer to complete their patina.
However, perhaps because the mass gap between these mini sword-shaped ornants was relatively small, the ti and difficulty for the patina also didn’t differ much.
To find out if a larger mass difference would lead to more significant effects, one could wait until Chen Yun finished applying spiritual power to the purple sandalwood Gundam, and then learn about the specific impact of mass on the patina process through spiritual power.
After all, the mass of the purple sandalwood Gundam was much greater than that of the small purple sandalwood swords.
But before pondering over this,
there was another very important issue!
That is, after having both the ten complete connections brought by the carved swords and the two incomplete ones from the handkerchief simultaneously in mind, there was a faint feeling of saturation.
Clearly,
there was an upper limit to mass production.
The current situation was still safe, but any more than that would be a bit problematic.
After much contemplation, Chen Yun beckoned with his hand,
and the ten small swords that had been polished crazily with Telekinesis for two days and had finally established a connection were controlled and danced in the air.
He was like a cultivator who could control swords,
using Telekinesis to command these little Flying Swords.
After playing around for a bit, his Transparent World Perception sensed Bai Shi, Sun Huwen, and Jiang Anping, who were gathering at the entrance of the complex.
"He said he didn’t want to do any farewell routine, but I still felt it wouldn’t be right not to have a al together."
Bai Shi said this while carrying a box of beer down from the taxi.
Sun Huwen and Jiang Anping each carried a couple of plastic bags full of food from the car, nodding in firm agreent with Bai Shi’s words.
Seeing this from afar,
Chen Yun couldn’t help raising his eyebrows.
Then, with a beckoning gesture, he controlled all ten Flying Swords to drill smoothly into his pocket and stow them away.
Next, he moved many of the packed parcels at ho to free up so space, arranging chairs around the empty table.
Soon,
there was a knock at the door.
Chen Yun opened the door to see Bai Shi, Sun Huwen, and Jiang Anping standing there.
The silly dog Bai Jin, slling the aroma of the food, scampered toward the three at the door.
The trio seed to have dressed up purposefully today.
Bai Shi, although not in formal attire, was definitely clean and tidy. Sun Huwen and he wore matching couple outfits with fundantally similar styles.
Jiang Anping, on the other hand, was different than normal.
The cool girl, who always appeared efficient, brought an unexpected surprise to everyone, like an accidental spring breeze altering its path.
Normally, she would be comfortable in a shirt with jeans, her hair neatly tied in a high ponytail or cut short, exuding an air of rebellion and independence. But today, as she slowly ca into view, ti seed to pause. She changed her usual style, opting for a flowing long dress, with the hem gently swaying with her steps like a flower blooming in the morning mist, both mysterious and eye-catching.
Her long hair, no longer restrained, naturally draped over her shoulders, soft as silk in the night, lightly brushing her delicate skin in the breeze, adding an elent of grace and gentleness.
A faint smile played on her face, her eyes still carried the usual confidence, but now there was a softness that had never been seen before. This new attire didn’t diminish her coolness, but rather made her glow with an indescribable charm, like the brightest star in the night sky, quietly twinkling among the crowd.
Although Chen Yun had already seen her through Transparent World, he still couldn’t help but be a bit surprised at this mont.
"Our Sheng Jiang can actually wear a skirt, and today she finally looks like a girl."
"I was really surprised when we shopped together before," Sun Huwen said, playfully pinching Jiang Anping’s cheek as she laughed.
At this,
Jiang Anping’s usually calm face flushed slightly, before quickly regaining her composure, "Just changing styles."
Seeing this, everyone laughed, then proceeded to take their seats while chatting and setting down the food.
Watching as the two won opened all the food they brought, Bai Shi turned to Chen Yun sitting in front of him and said, "Don’t look at , I just felt it wouldn’t be right if you just up and left without a word."
Seeing this,
Chen Yun didn’t say much.
Not wanting a farewell was one thing, but he certainly couldn’t just send away the friends who actually ca.
"Looks like you’ve nearly finished packing."
"You’re pretty quick."
Bai Shi looked around the room, now greatly changed, and comnted.
"I was thinking of having you co over to help, but you weren’t ho at all this morning."
"Were you deliberately avoiding ?"
Chen Yun glanced at Bai Shi and said.
Of course, he never planned to have anyone help; he could handle these matters effortlessly on his own.
His comnt was rely a jibe at Bai Shi.
"What do you an, deliberately avoiding? I went and paid your rent five years in advance this morning."
"Then went to pick them up and buy so nice food and drinks to have a al together."
Bai Shi explained.
Hearing this explanation, Chen Yun was taken aback, "What do you an paid five years in advance?"
"It ans literally that, welco back anyti."
"Otherwise, it wouldn’t be very convenient for you to take these big items with you or dispose of them, right?"
Bai Shi said, pointing at the battle drum’s bronze hamr and the huge barbell in the corner of the room, then glancing at the purple sandalwood Gundam not far from the door.
These items would be a hassle to move.
And it would be a sha to sell them.
Take, for instance, the odd purple sandalwood Gundam; if it were Bai Shi, he would definitely not sell it, as it was practically an art treasure.
He hadn’t expected Chen Yun to carve out such a thing in these past two days, holed up at ho in silence.
If he had known earlier, he would have tried to snatch it... cough, not right.
He would have discussed the trade sooner.
Thinking this, Bai Shi decisively leaned close to Chen Yun’s ear and whispered, "That purple sandalwood Gundam of yours, I’d trade you a genuine Monet for it, and if that’s not enough, I’ll trade you a genuine Da Vinci!"
"In a couple of days, there’s a Gundam exhibition in Shucheng, and I really want to take it there to show off."
Bai Shi’s voice was very low.
Obviously, to avoid being overheard by the two won engrossed in teasing the silly dog Bai Jin.
"Forget it, I have another use for that thing."
"Since you helped renew the lease, can I co over often to polish it and pay homage?"
Chen Yun smiled and declined Bai Shi’s offer.
The purple sandalwood Gundam indeed had its uses.
He planned to experint with how its mass affected the patina.
If it was successfully patinated, it would be perfect for protecting his ho from afar.
Since Bai Shi had helped him with the lease, he might as well use the Gundam as a vessel from ti to ti to have an out-of-body experience and check in here.
"Sigh..."
Hearing Chen Yun’s refusal, Bai Shi sighed.
He didn’t say much more, but it was clear he felt it was a great pity.
Seeing this, Chen Yun couldn’t help but tease, "I already gave you the Golden Winged Roc, and you still want this? If not, just carve one yourself."
After all, Bai Shi was also a top-notch sculpting master.
It wouldn’t be too difficult for him to carve a Gundam model by imitation.
"In front of the spirit and feeling you’ve carved into this, any so-called master sculptor wouldn’t dare to compete."
Bai Shi spoke earnestly.
These words ca from his heart.
He truly believed Chen Yun’s carvings were art, with not the slightest hint of flattery in his words.
Chen Yun just smiled at this.
Then, the two chatted for quite a while.
Until Jiang Anping’s stomach rumbled, and he calmly announced he was hungry.
The group began to eat, joking and chatting as they did.
Throughout the casual conversation during the al, no one ntioned Chen Yun’s impending departure.
They just talked about everything under the sun.
And from how they first t to the present mont.
"So, if I had just held onto that royal flush just a bit longer, the title of Gambling God might not belong to Chen Yun!"
Bai Shi boasted with a flushed face and puffed-up chest about the past.
It was unclear why Bai Shi, otherwise a good drinker,
would get himself slightly confused drinking beer at this mont.
And Chen Yun just glanced over, not saying much more.
You, Bai Shi, might be good at gambling, to the point of almost knowing the cards as if they were face-up.
But Chen Yun, if he wishes, can sense the emotions and know the cards of his opponents, so how could they compete?
No one could!
That’s what I’m saying!
"All right, don’t hurt your tongue with your tall tales."
"Who was it that once claid their heart held only one Sun, which was Chen Yun?"
"Just practice more, you’re green."
Sun Huwen laughed as she passed juice to Bai Shi, taking away his beer.
Bai Shi obediently took the juice, continuing to brag while drinking it.
While Jiang Anping silently sat beside them, nibbling on skewers.
Her eating speed was clearly not what it used to be.
Once, she could calmly consu a large amount of food without showing any sign.
But now she was obviously distracted.
Looking at the three people in front of him, as well as the silly dog Bai Jin gnawing on a bone, Chen Yun pondered for a long while.
Then he fished out the sword-shaped carving accessory from his pocket that he had established a connection with today.
He took out three Jade Swords and handed them to Bai Shi, Sun Huwen, and Jiang Anping.
Bai Shi looked at the patterns on the fingertip-sized Jade Sword with great interest and began to appreciate it.
Jiang Anping silently took the Jade Sword.
Without a word, she tightly clenched it in her palm and kept it secure.
Sun Huwen was a bit curious as she asked, "Is this... a parting gift?"
Her tone was sowhat puzzled, and the other two were similarly emotional.
Seeing their sowhat confused expressions, Chen Yun spoke in an extrely serious tone,
"From now on, seeing the sword is as good as seeing ."
His words were not explicit.
But his earnest tone infected everyone with emotion,
prompting them to nod seriously in response.
And as Chen Yun watched the three of them securely tuck away the Jade Swords, a glint of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
Seeing the sword is as good as seeing !
Naturally, this phrase was not said in jest.
It was not just a parting gift but also a grand opportunity given by Chen Yun to his friends.
The Jade Sword signified a marker that allowed Chen Yun to geolocate, enabling him to have an out-of-body arrival across infinite distances at any ti.
No matter how far apart they were,
he could allow a part of his strength to accompany his consciousness and instantly reach his friends’ side.
Only if these three understood the function of the Jade Sword would they grasp Chen Yun’s intention and the significance of the Jade Sword.
It was a promise given by an Evolver on the path to transcendence to his three friends.
