Chapter 447: 447,【Ancient Ones】(Thanks to Alliance Hierarch “Ai Ai” for 100,000 points reward for the 7th ti)
Lu Xun stood in the corridor, while Ji Li and Lin Chan looked at him with bewildered faces due to his shocked expression.
They could learn normally in the room full of ancient texts, because one of them possessed the characteristic of Enlightennt level 8 and the other, Enlightennt level 9, which made learning not difficult at all.
Moreover, they would not ponder as much as Lu Xun, nor did they possess the ability of Detection, which would allow them to see that all the cultivation techniques on the right ca from one person.
At that very mont, even Lu Xun himself could not be one hundred percent certain that this uncle he had never t was the person of great power that was said to be worthy of the title, “The Holy One”.
Whether or not the new age was created by him was still yet to be confird by the hamr of Thor.
But at least one thing could be affird: If the words in Jade Simplicity truly ca from his uncle, then his uncle was at least a person who had created nurous cultivation techniques!
That’s badass!
“No wonder he was able to educate the Sword Mountain Elder,” Lu Xun admired his uncle.
Until now, he led Ji Li and Lin Chan, and had taken a tour of the first room on both sides.
Next, they were going to visit the room marked “Sword Skills”.
After Lu Xun opened the wooden door, he led the two girls in and was just about to see if there were any skills to learn when sothing occurred to him.
“You two can look around here on your own. I have sothing to verify. I’ll go back to the previous room,” Lu Xun instructed the two girls.
Ji Li and Lin Chan nodded in agreent, without any intention of going against Lu Xun’s plan.
For a Sword Cultivator, it was indeed unbearable to see so many Sword Skill books.
After Lu Xun left the room, he returned to the first room on the right.
There was only one shelf in this room. Lu Xun had only examined half of the Jade Simplicity before and hadn’t looked over all of it.
Now, he returned with a purpose: to find his mysterious Five Elents Cultivation thod in here!
“The landlord said that although this technique takes a lot of ti and effort, it has been previously practised by so people to a very high level!” Lu Xun thought as he searched.
“Could one of these people be my uncle?” Lu Xun wondered.
Of course, he guessed that this sentence might also have been the landlord bragging about himself…
After searching on the shelf for a while, Lu Xun discovered four characters on the final piece of Jade Simplicity— “Gift to My Brother”.
Looking at the Jade Simplicity, Lu Xun couldn’t help but twitch his mouth slightly.
The handwriting of these four characters matched the handwriting he had seen earlier, and it was almost certainly his uncle’s handwriting.
He could almost picture the scene in his mind, where the landlord and his uncle were exchanging words, both of them referring to each other as “my brother”.
[Landlord: “My brother, get a cup of tea.”]
Uncle: “My brother, I decline.”]
As Lu Xun imagined this scene, he couldn’t help but smile. He found it both amusing and juvenile.
Opening the Jade Simplicity, he found it was the mysterious Five Elents Cultivation thod he had been studying!
When he opened it, he found that the contents of this Jade Simplicity were exceptionally long.
Lowering his head, he began to read from the beginning and after a while, he couldn’t help but frown slightly.
“Sothing’s wrong. Although this is largely in line with the Five Elents Cultivation thod I practised, there are still so subtle differences.”
Lu Xun focused on the thirteenth line, which read “the Qi sinks into the Qi Sea,” but in actuality, what he practised was “the Qi disperses into the Qi Sea.”
As he read word by word, line by line, he found seven differences in total.
When he finished reading the whole piece, he noticed there were so words inscribed at the end.
The handwriting of these characters was completely different from the graceful handwriting he’d seen before. This handwriting was much more rough, yet still seed to carry an air of flamboyance.
“This handwriting is definitely the landlord’s!” Lu Xun exclaid in his heart.
He was very familiar with this handwriting and could recognize it at a glance as the landlord’s!
Of course, among all the characters written by the landlord, the one he was most familiar with was the character for “ugly”.
He couldn’t help but read aloud the words the landlord had written: “My brother, this thod is full of flaws. I will not practise it!”
Mockery! This had to be mockery!
He continued to read and found a reply from his uncle in the sa graceful handwriting at the bottom of the Jade Simplicity:
“My brother, I have anded three places. It’s almost perfect now. It’s up to you whether to practise it or not.”
Beneath this statent was the modified Five Elents Cultivation thod. Indeed, there were three changes that matched the thod Lu Xun was currently practicing.
“So, apparently, the tutor and uncle used to exchange ssages through the Jade Simplicity.” Lu Xun comnted mockingly.
The feeling was like a letter being sent across, two childish old n persistently leaving ssages on this booklet.
As expected, beneath the second generation of this thod, Lu Xun saw his tutor’s handwriting:
“My brother, after practicing this technique, I narrowly avoided going berserk. I have coughed up blood in extre asures. You must be careful!”
Reading his tutor’s note, Lu Xun burst into laughter, “So uncle used the tutor as a lab rat!”
However, this indirectly confird that the person the tutor ntioned who practiced the mysterious Five Elents Cultivation thod was most likely himself!
Lu Xun found it extrely amusing and continued to read further.
As expected, below was the third generation of the Five Elents Cultivation thod.
Before the thod, was uncle’s ssage: “My brother, I’ve modified it once again. If your health recovers, you can try it again.”
Pfft! The tutor was indeed treated like a guinea pig!
However, the content this ti was exactly the sa as what Lu Xun was practicing. There was no difference.
Below the thod, the tutor only replied two words:
“My brother, the eldest brother is like a father, I’ll practice for the last ti.”
Below this line was the tutor’s impression after practicing.
His impression only had two words:
—”Adequate.”
Holding the Jade Simplicity, Lu Xun had finished reading everything till here.
It was clear that after receiving the tutor’s reply of “adequate”, uncle had no intention of modifying again.
He didn’t know, whether that was because he was too lazy to modify, or perhaps to him, when the tutor uttered ‘adequate’, it was nearly perfect.
To be fair, once this technique was cultivated to the fifth stage, it beca an Orange Level Technique, which was the best in the world!
Who would have thought that this top-level technique would be introduced in a format similar to family letters?
“No wonder the tutor said that this technique has no na. I guess most likely, after seeing ‘adequate’, uncle might have been so annoyed that he forgot to na it or was too lazy to do so.” Lu Xun speculated in his heart.
Closing the Jade Simplicity, Lu Xun placed it back on the shelf.
After putting it back, he thought of a question.
“Logically speaking, having already practiced a cultivation technique, especially if it is practiced to a certain stage, it is impossible to change cultivation thods.” Lu Xun thought to himself.
That’s why, players are so cautious when they swear allegiance to sects at the beginning of the ga. Professional players can hardly wait to squeeze into the Great Sects, using all their ans to worm their way in.
Looking at the Jade Simplicity on the shelf, Lu Xun thought:
“So, doesn’t this an that the tutor was probably cultivation-less when he was practicing this technique?!”
This was a fascinating hypothesis.
Based on Lu Xun’s understanding of the tiline, the legendary powerhouse who created a new basic thod did so after Ancient Tis.
After surviving catastrophe, the glory of the Heavenly Dust Cultivation World was lost.
It was because of the appearance of this powerhouse that made it easier for newcors, allowing more fresh blood to enter the cultivation world.
Lu Xun didn’t believe that a newbie in the cultivation world, could create so many techniques, let alone unprecedented techniques that benefited future generations!
As for the tutor, who was treated as a lab rat, he must not have been a newbie at that ti. Otherwise, a minor deviation would have been life-threatening.
From the ssages, it seed that uncle didn’t seem to care too much about seeing the tutor cough up blood…
So, at that ti, was the tutor as Lu Xun thought, without cultivation base or with a low realm?
“The tutor and uncle, they indeed survived the Ancient Tis.” Lu Xun paced around the room.
He was now very curious about what story the two of them had during the first invasion of the Foreign Race in Ancient Tis.
Intuition told him, this was highly significant!
