Chapter 139: Astral Rune
Not long after, the quiet room’s door was opened again. Chen Xiao Han had already brought back so food.
Breakfast was very simple. Two stead buns, a large bowl of congee, and a dish of pickled vegetables. However, although it was simple, the preparation of it was very fastidious. Just looking at it made a person hungry and start to salivate.
Lu Xuan hadn’t eaten for a whole day and night and had long since been so hungry that his stomach rumbled. How could he wait now. Taking the food, he began to wolf it down.
“Slow down. If it’s not enough, there’s still more.” Chen Xiao Han gleefully watched Lu Xuan eat and couldn’t help but give him a reminder. After a pause, she then looked at the books piled at Lu Xuan’s side and asked: “You’ve finished reading all these books?”
“Mhmm. Finished all of them… These books were pretty useful… I feel like my understanding towards runes has increased a level…” Lu Xuan continued to answer Chen Xiao Han in between eating his al.
Everything in his mories had been all rather high leveled rune drawing skills and how to use the runes. Now having looked over the basics, he had filled in that part of the blanks.
Also, these books which he had had Chen Xiao Han get weren’t only the basic books, there was also books that had recorded high level enchantnt runes. These books normally would not be lent out so easily. If Lu Xuan had entered the Enchantnt Hall according to the normal steps, he would only beco an ordinary middle level enchanter and wouldn’t necessarily be able to easily get these things.
However, now he was Hallmaster’s honorary disciple, and even more, Hallmaster and Elder Fan and other’s hope. With this kind of raising, he could naturally flip through them any ti. Not to ntion, with Lu Xuan’s current strength, ordinary middle level runes weren’t any problem for him.
Truthfully, the mories that Lu Xuan had received from the sword crystal similarly had quite a few high level enchantnt runes which were even more perfect than those recorded in the Enchantnt Hall, higher end, but he didn’t dare to casually take them out. Those kinds of high level enchantnt runes were all ancient enchantnt runes. If others were to see it, he was afraid it could beco troubleso. It was always wise to play it safe.
That’s why he specifically had Chen Xiao Han find these currently circulating high level runes which he could contrast with the ancient enchantnt runes. From there he could remove so of the runes that had long since been lost. This way he could relax and use them in front of outsiders.
After finishing eating and drinking, Lu Xuan felt a burst of tiredness hit. Having read books for a whole day and night, his head had been continuously operating non-stop. While he hadn’t felt anything while in that learning state, now that he had stopped, he was feeling tired.
He didn’t have to endure it right now. There was a bed to rest on anyway. Ignoring Chen Xiao Han on the side, Lu Xuan directly climbed into bed and sat cross-legged. He hadn’t slept in a long ti. For him, circulating the Tai Yi Yuan Return Tactic was just as good a resting thod for him.
However, before entering his cultivation state, he hadn’t forgotten to send Xian Chen Han away: “Hey, Xiao Han, help get bring so materials for drawing an astral rune over. I want to practice on in a while.”
The astral rune was a high level enchantnt rune. When enchanted onto weapons, it could automatically absorb yuan force, making the weapon stimulate a stimulating qi, and it could even greatly enhance the power emitted by a weapon. Lu Xuan was preparing to draw an astral rune and enchant his xuan iron sword. After enchanting it, the xuan iron sword would be even more formidable.
More importantly, there was already the astral rune from the ancient enchantnt runes. As long as he practiced it, once he was alone, he could use the ancient enchantnt technique to draw. It would be much stronger than the version of astral rune circulating nowadays.
Hearing Lu Xuan directly saying her na, Chen Xiao Han’s eyes grew large as she said: “Is Xiao Han sothing that you can also call ? Call senior sister.”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan curled his lips: “What senior sister. Don’t trick . I’ve asked master. He told he’s never even accepted you as a disciple.”
“Oops. I was discovered by you.” Chen Xiao Han had surprise in her eyes, but then she recovered: “You trickster! You haven’t even left here. When could you have asked!”
Looking at Chen Xiao Han’s expression changing from embarrassnt to anger, Lu Xuan’s eyes couldn’t help but show a mischievous look. This girl was pretty fun to tease, exposing her lies on her own.
“Alright, alright. Yesterday you tricked into calling you senior sister. Let’s call it even. I want to cultivate. Rember to help find those materials. This was master’s command.”
Finished speaking, Lu Xuan didn’t pay any more attention to her. His hands ford a hand symbol, and he began to circulate the Tai Yi Yuan Return Tactic. The yuan force that filled the air began to slowly enter into his body.
Once again entering the inward vision state, Lu Xuan could still feel the obstacle that prevented him from breaking through to body refining sixth level. It seed like currently forcefully charging past it would still result in failure. He gave up on any ideas on breaking through imdiately.
There was still plenty of ti, no rush. It just so happened that he could take this ti to closely examine the rune dao. Perhaps at the ti, once his spirit force increased another step, it would be like water flowing forming a channel and he would break through. Adding on his martial path strength, it should be enough to take care of Lin Tian.
Seeing Lu Xuan quickly entering his cultivation state, Chen Xiao Han didn’t dare to bother him and could only stomp her feet as she exited and went to find the needed materials.
Tai Yi Yuan Return Tactic continually circulated. After an unknown amount of great circulatory cycles, Lu Xuan felt his state had already returned to its peak. The fatigue had been expelled. No longer tired, he began to bring the training to a close.
When he once again opened his eyes, he discovered a slender young lady was currently standing in front of his desk, holding a brush, concentrating as she drew sothing.
Without question, this young lady was naturally Chen Xiao Han. After Lu Xuan had entered his cultivation state, she had been a bit bored and wanted to leave, but she didn’t know when Lu Xuan would wake up. Therefore, she simply began to draw enchantnt scrolls here.
Normally she didn’t have other recreational activities. Perhaps it was her father and the other elders’ influences, when she didn’t have anything to do, she liked to just draw on scrolls to pass the ti. So truthfully speaking, her foundations were more solid than Lu Xuan. If only comparing within the confines of current enchantnt skills, she couldn’t compare to Lu Xuan, but if Chen Xiao Han also learned ancient enchantnt techniques, right now she would definitely be higher than Lu Xuan. After all, she had learned since she was young. How could Lu Xuan who had just picked it up along the road compare to her.
Without anything to do and not daring to disturb Chen Xiao Han, Lu Xuan sat on the bed and sized her up with great interest.
Long bangs flowed naturally down, revealing two delicate eyebrows. Below the eyebrows were a pair of sparkling eyes. The hair that had originally been tucked behind her ear had slipped down as she drew with her head lowered. The delicate side of her face and her white neck were presented fully to Lu Xuan’s eyes.
Chen Xiao Han, who was currently focused on drawing runes, had a peaceful face, very different from the one she normally displayed. Her eyes were staring at the scroll before her, not daring to a single mistake. Obviously she was extrely earnest, however, in that earnesty, there was so tension mixed it. Watching her cute appearance, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but unconsciously smile.
Looking down further, Lu Xuan’s eyes naughtily stared at Chen Xiao Han’s chest and couldn’t help but feel surprised. How co today’s appearance seed to be bigger than yesterdays? Although it still wasn’t as large as Lin Xin Yi’s, it couldn’t be considered as flat.
Carefully thinking back, Lu Xuan discovered, yesterday, the clothes that Chen Xiao Han had worn seed to be a bit looser and wasn’t as skin-fit. Today’s white clothes were hugged the body tighter by quite a bit. Her waist was tightly bound, revealing the waist’s curves. At the sa ti, a good outline of her chest was given.
Just as Lu Xuan was studying with relish, he heard Chen Xiao Han suddenly cry out. The scroll on the desk flashed then dimd back down. Obviously this ti’s drawing had been a failure.
Failing once again, Chen Xiao Han was sowhat angry. Her small mouth pouted and the brush in her hand was placed on the desk. That montary tranquility was imdiately broken, however, her angry appearance had a different sort of charm.
Seeming to have detected Lu Xuan’s vision, Chen Xiao Han suddenly turned her head and just happened to et his eyes. This ti, Chen’s big young miss aura had been scattered.
“You stupid Lu Xuan. It’s all your fault. I almost succeeded. This was my closest try. You owe .”
Lu Xuan was stunned. Then he refused to yield and refuted: “What does that have to do with . I’ve been awake for a long ti already and have been here not daring to move. Obviously it’s your own strength that’s lacking.”
Lu Xuan’s refute made Chen Xiao Han even angrier. Although she also knew that her own strength wasn’t enough, how could she be willing to admit it. She resorted to strong sophistry and said: “Obviously it was you stealing peeks at , which divided my attention, which is why I lost.”
“Hey, stealing peeks at you, why is your attention getting divided? Could it be you towards … hehe.” Lu Xuan smiled maliciously.
“Nonsense. This young miss won’t look put you in my sight. You’re thinking too much.” Chen Xiao Han harrumphed.
Since Chen Xiao Han had already finished drawing, Lu Xuan stood up. He spoke as he walked: “Could this be considered as slapping yourself? I didn’t say that you had any intentions towards . I was saying, do you still hold a grudge against ?”
Facing Lu Xuan’s word gas, Chen Xiao Han recognized that she wasn’t his opponent. She imdiately no longer talked, closing her mouth, making no sounds.
“What rune you were just drawing?” Lu Xuan proactively asked.
“It was the astral rune which you had grab materials for. I’ve practiced many tis, but unfortunately I’ve never succeeded.” Chen Xiao Han replied. Although she had drawn a middle level rune Wild Explosion rune during the assessnt, in reality, she had long since began practicing high level runes. However, because she didn’t have high enough success rate, she had to change to a middle level rune.
“Try again. I’ll watch where there’s problems. That’ll count as paying you.” Lu Xuan said unconcernedly.
However, towards Lu Xuan’s words, Chen Xiao Han had a face full of disbelief: “You only saw high level runes last night. You can’t even draw it yourself, how can you spot where there are problems.”
She admitted that Lu Xuan’s talent was indeed pretty good, but to be able to point out her mistakes in one try, that was an impossibility. Even if it was middle level spirit runemaster like Hallmaster, newly making contact with a rune, they would still need to study it a bit before they could point anything out.
“How do you know whether or not I’m able? How about we make a bet. If I can point out your mistakes, this period of ti, you will have to obediently serve , pouring tea, sending water, finding materials. How about it?” Lu Xuan laughed.
