Borrowing a sword

Chapter 15 The Spiritual Embryo of Chu Huaixu
Chu Huaixu had a very long dream.

But after waking up, I couldn't remember anything.

When he opened his eyes, he was greeted by an absolutely beautiful face.

Han Shuangjiang, who was not wearing a veil, sat beside his bed, holding a towel and wiping the sweat from his face and neck.

This is a face so beautiful it can leave you mesmerized.

Fortunately, Chu Huaixu is relatively resistant to this.

His line of work is essentially the same as the service industry.

If you do it for a long time, you might actually develop a slight "misogynistic" tendency?
Interestingly, due to her own upbringing and life experiences, this stunningly beautiful woman actually has a slight "misogyny".

This is actually not difficult to understand.

The aloof woman looked down at Chu Huaixu and said, "It was the Sixth Elder who asked me to take care of you."

However, Chu Huaixu's reply was: "It smells wonderful."

This slightly flippant reply made her gaze involuntarily sharpen.

“I wasn’t talking about you!” The fox-faced man frowned and glanced at her.

He sat up from his bed and searched his room for the source of the fragrance.

Soon, he saw a stick of incense stick stuck in the table, which was almost burned out.

Chu Huaixu turned to look at Han Shuangjiang, his face questioning.

"This is calming incense, left behind by the Sixth Elder." Her expression visibly turned cold, and she stood up abruptly.

She left the bamboo house and went straight back to her room.

Chu Huaixu was left sitting on the bed, rubbing his temples.

When playing "Borrowing Swords", players can improve their own realm simply by choosing to level up.

He still kept this cheat code, but the overall experience wasn't good.

"Players can adjust their pain level, but I can't," he thought to himself.

Of course, Chu Huaixu knew very well that the reason he was in so much pain was entirely due to a problem with the technique itself.

For players, leveling up is essentially skipping the step-by-step training process.

Or rather, all these processes are completed in an instant, and then you receive feedback from them.

"So, I must have activated the Sword Refining Technique several times in an instant to cause this pain?" Chu Huaixu asked, puzzled.

He guessed that even without using cheat codes, practicing this technique normally wouldn't be very comfortable.

"It hurts this much, and you still have the nerve to call it 'Sword Refining Technique'? You should call it 'Menstrual Cramps' instead," he thought to himself.

Well, the problem is coming.

"How come it has a 93% compatibility score with me?!"

He doesn't see himself as a "McDonald's".

Although there is a classic saying in his industry: the flower language of steel wool is forbearance and wealth.

But it has nothing to do with him.

He doesn't have any such fetish, and he's also averse to steel wool, that kind of "rich woman's pleasure ball."

His escort profile page doesn't imply anything to his customers, such as labeling his profile with "McDonald's" or "Starbucks".

There's a hierarchy of disdain within their industry: those who do BDSM are ultimately a niche group of casual gamers, unlikely to amount to much!
Therefore, Chu Huaixu felt that the system needed to give him an explanation.

After getting out of bed, he felt his body.

"It seems... he really has become much stronger?"

"Is it because you added 1 point to [Physical Strength] before? That's why the increase in that area is so significant?"

"It shouldn't be just for this reason." He turned his gaze to the jade slips and booklets on the table.

After sitting down, Chu Huaixu picked up the booklet and turned to the first and second pages again.

"Don't practice!"

"Listen to my advice!"

He now understood that these two "predecessors" must have suffered a lot, so they left two negative reviews to warn future generations, which can be considered as painstaking effort.

Chu Huaixu felt it was necessary to write something down for future generations to read.

He picked up his pen and, with a serious expression, wrote in bold, flowing characters on the third page:

"Peerless Divine Skill!"

Train! All of you, get to train!

Chu Huaixu sat sullenly in the chair, closed the booklet, and then realized that he still had important things to do.

"The [Spirit Embryo Attribute Points] haven't been added yet."

The spiritual embryo is also closely related to the cultivator's innate supernatural abilities. This thing is just too, too important.

There's no future in using a pseudo-spiritual embryo.

He opened his character panel and immediately added that 1 point to the [Spiritual Embryo Attribute].

However, the first screen that pops up is—select the type of spirit fetus.

This is easy to understand; each spiritual embryo has its own unique characteristics.

Take the Xuan Yin Body next door as an example. If Chu Huaixu chooses the Xuan Yin Body at this time, his character panel will be marked as: [Xuan Yin Body (Covered in Dust)] in the Spirit Embryo section.

The words "Covered in Dust" will disappear only when the attribute points are increased to 10, and the spiritual embryo will be fully formed!

However, when choosing a spirit fetus, players can only select one major category and then randomly draw from it.

Pure Yang and Profound Yin are examples of the category of Yin and Yang.

In addition to Yin and Yang, the categories of spirit fetuses also include Five Elements, Thunder and Lightning, Dark Night, Divine Speed, and Union, totaling dozens of types.

Each category can be further subdivided.

If you really want to choose, you can be overwhelmed by the choices.

But Chu Huaixu had already made up his mind.

"There's nothing I can do about it. After all, by some twist of fate, I've already entered the Daoist path."

"And that sword is with the Daoist sect!"

He didn't even glance at the other categories, and immediately made his choice—the sword!
"[Ding! You have selected [Sword Spirit Embryo], and the draw is in progress.]"

"Congratulations! You have obtained [Spirit Embryo: Heart Sword]."

Heart Sword?

In his memory, there was no information related to it, and he had not seen any sword cultivator player who possessed this kind of spiritual embryo.

Chu Huaixu felt his body undergo a sudden change in an instant!
He could sense a sword floating in his mind's eye when he closed his eyes.

A sword that is entirely black!

For some reason, he always felt that it was alive, connected to his mind, and possessed a spirit.

However, it seemed lifeless, looking half-dead and listless.

Chu Huaixu was not surprised by this.

Because his character panel clearly displayed: [Spirit Embryo Heart Sword: 1. (Covered in Dust)].

Below, in smaller print, is a description of the system:
"【The sword severs the flesh, the heart severs the soul】."

Medicine Mountain, the steward's courtyard.

Niu Yuanshan sat cross-legged on his bed, feeling restless.

At this moment, the east was turning white, and dawn was approaching.

Just two hours ago, the Sixth Elder, Li Chunsong, came to his door again, asking him where the "Sword Refining Manual" came from.

Niu Yuanshan frankly admitted that he also did not know.

The jade slip was indeed in his possession, but the matter of storing these Qi Refining stage cultivation techniques was not his responsibility.

"Sixth Elder, there should be records kept in the library." He cautiously offered his suggestion.

Li Chunsong nodded and immediately disappeared, flying towards the library, leaving Steward Niu completely bewildered.

"Wasn't the 'Sword Refining Manual' given to the newcomers in that organization?"

"Why did the Sixth Elder suddenly come to ask about this?"

"Could there be something wrong with this Qi-opening technique?!"

"Then this is the Chu Huai Preface."

Niu Yuanshan had several impulses to go to the other party's bamboo house that very night to check on his condition.

He suppressed the thought, but it would resurface after a while.

He spent the whole night agonizing over various thoughts and worries.

Steward Niu's mind was filled with Chu Huaixu.

He's there whether you open your eyes or close them.

"Snapped--!"

Inside the courtyard, an even louder slapping sound rang out.

Niu Yuanshan hit even harder this time than last time, slapping himself until his face was swollen.

"The third precept: One must not have excessive prying thoughts about those who share the same path!"

"loyalty!"
