Chapter 29: The Heavy Sword Has No Edge

  With one final effort, Lu Fan finally managed to pull out the sword.

  The sword is over four feet long and more than a foot wide. The heavy sword body has no pattern, and at the hilt, a small yin-yang taiji diagram can be faintly seen. When it was slammed to the ground, Lu Fan suddenly saw that the ground had actually been smashed into a depression.

  What kind of material is this sword made of, in order to be restored like this?

  Wu Chen's gaze was drawn to the sword. He reached out to grab it, and as soon as his palm touched the blade, Wu Chen quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been struck by lightning.

  "Xuán Wǔ Pò Qì Yán!" -> "Dark Turtle Smashes Air Rock!"

  He let out an exclamation and Wu Chen carefully began to examine the sword.

  A streak of light appeared on the palm, Wu Chen lightly wiped it on the hilt, and instantly the yin-yang Taiji pattern on the hilt emitted a glow.

  On the sword's body, eight large characters appeared.

  "A heavy sword has no edge; great skill is not showy!"

  Lu Fan was completely captivated by these eight words, the huge eight words were like a heavy sword that struck his heart. Looking at these eight words, Lu Fan had an indescribable feeling. Very mysterious, mysterious and even more mysterious.

  "Good sword, it's really good sword."

  Wu Chen burst out laughing.

  "Lu Fan, your luck is truly good. This one sword alone surpasses tens of thousands of Ice Heart Meteorites."

  Lu Fan didn't understand and asked: "Master, what's special about this sword? I just feel that it's very heavy."

  Wu Chen pointed at the sword and said: "Feeling heavy is normal. Look at the hilt, does it feel familiar?"

  Lu Fan reached out to touch the hilt of his sword and indeed felt a familiar sensation.

  Suddenly, Lu Fan thought of it and exclaimed: "Sealing Stone!"

  Wu Chen smiled and said, "That's right, it's a Sealing Stone. The hilt is cast from Sealing Stone, while the blade is made of Xuanwu Broken Air Rock. Two extremely difficult materials to cast, yet they were perfectly forged into a sword."

  Wu Chen gently stroked the blade with his hand. The airflow in his hand was suddenly cut into four or five pieces.

  "The sword has not been unsheathed, but it has a powerful aura. If I'm not mistaken, this sword should be the treasured blade of a martial artist who has reached the pinnacle of their craft. The eight words 'a heavy sword with no edge, great skill without craftsmanship' are probably the lifelong motto of its owner. Lu Fan, you should carefully ponder it, and who knows, you might gain something from it. Anyway, you don't have a treasured blade yet, so why not use this sword as your own in the future?"

  Lu Fan was taken aback and said: "This sword is so heavy, can I use it?"

  Wu Chen smiled and said, "Anyway, you were originally going to continue practicing the Sealing Stone's suppression. I now think that this sword is definitely much better than the Sealing Stone I practiced. From today on, you can bring this sword with you when you practice. When you can wield this sword freely, I estimate your suppression practice will be over."

  Lu Fan felt a cold sweat coming down his forehead. Just now, he had tried it out, and the weight of this sword was truly extraordinary, far surpassing the sealed power stone that his master had refined.

  But since Master said so, he also has no reason to back down.

  Taking a deep breath, Lu Fan said: "Okay, then I'll give it a try."

  Wu Chen smiled and said, "Very well. Before that, I'll just take the sword from you first and add the Ice Heart Meteorite to the hilt as well. With the Ice Heart Meteorite in place, the training effect of this sword will be further enhanced."

  Lu Fan nodded in understanding, and Wu Chen turned his hand over to grab the sword.

  The terrifying heavy sword in Wu Chen's hand seemed to have no weight at all, Lu Fan secretly licked his tongue, and indeed the master's strength was much stronger than his. A cultivator with such strong physical strength made Lu Fan really want to see what the master would look like if he regained his peak form.

  Hand over all the Ice Heart Meteorites to Wu Chen, and leave the Wen Huo Ding behind. Lu Fan understood the hint and walked to one side, starting to carefully examine the treasures they had gathered to see if there was anything else.

  The treasure of Longxue's lair is really pathetic. Apart from the Ice Heart Meteorite and this heavy sword, everything else is just some shiny stones.

  Most of these glittering stones were useless ore, while others had some beast cores and even gold coins. Lu Fan flipped through them for a long time, but didn't find any other treasures.

  With nothing better to do, Lu Fan picked up the little dog that was still paralyzed on the ground.

  The puppy, although exhausted, still stared at Lu Fan with its eyes wide open.

  Looking at the little dog, Lu Fan said: "Don't worry, I won't kill you. Speaking of which, last time you even saved me once. Hehe, if you had sprayed fire like that last time, I'm afraid I would have died long ago. Are you a dog or a dragon after all!"

  The little dog seemed to understand Lu Fan's words and rolled its eyes. At this moment, the little dog's belly made a thunderous sound.

  Lu Fan burst out laughing.

  "Are you hungry?"

  Lu Fan took out the roasted meat he had stored in his ring and handed it to the little dog.

  The puppy sniffed a few times and looked at Lu Fan as if confirming whether it was poisonous.

  Lu Fan had never seen such a clever wild beast before. He smiled, and very decisively tore off a piece of roasted meat and put it into his mouth, swallowing it down.

  Seeing this, the little dog finally felt at ease and took a big bite.

  Although his hands and feet couldn't move, his mouth could still eat, and he didn't see how to chew. The little dog wolfed down a piece of roasted meat, and then Lu Fan saw the little dog's eyes change, like a starving wild beast, with green light emanating from them.

  No need for Lu Fan to say anything else, the little dog started eating the barbecue desperately. While eating, it even regained its mobility, and with its two short front legs, it hugged the barbecue and continued eating.

  Lu Fan looked at it and smiled slightly.

  The little dog quickly finished eating a large piece of roasted meat. Lu Fan put it on the ground and said, "Alright, if you can walk, then go ahead. Don't spit fire at me again. I've had enough of being scorched by you today."

  The little dog was licking its mouth, seemingly in excitement, with a faint black flame emerging from its mouth. Lu Fan hastily reminded it, and the little dog surprisingly listened and lowered its head.

  "Go ahead. Be your own wild beast at peace. With your abilities, you might still be the master of this western mountain someday."

  Lu Fan smiled and said to the little dog. However, the little dog did not intend to leave, staring at Lu Fan with its big eyes.

  Suddenly, the little dog bit down on Lu Fan's arm with a loud snap.

  "Ah! You're at it again? I give you food and you bite me!"

  Before he had even finished speaking, Lu Fan suddenly saw countless scenes emerge in his mind.

  It's all about this little dog and how it grew up in a dark cave, sustained by the energy of the earth spirit flower.

  Until he moved the stone slab, took away the earth spirit flower, the little dog finally came out and arrived in the depths of the forest. Then it was bullied by various wild beasts, after dodging and hiding, it crept into the dragon cave along the smooth stone wall, fell down countless times, but got up countless times again.

  The days in the Dragon's Lair were relatively calm, and the six-winged dragon that tore through the sky didn't seem to come back. It survived by swallowing the crystal cores of the desolate beasts every day, and because it ate so many crystal cores, it gradually gained the ability to spit fire.

  This dog actually used this method to let Lu Fan see all its experiences, and Lu Fan had no idea that the wild beast had such an ability.

  When Lu Fan saw the little dog being bullied by various wild beasts after leaving the cave, he was somehow moved. Every wild beast that saw the little dog only played with it, but did not kill it. They beat it until it was covered in wounds and then let it go, only to come back and tease it again.

  Lu Fan's emotions seemed to be felt by the little dog as well. A large tear suddenly appeared in the little dog's eyes and fell to the ground.

  The screen finally freezes at the moment when the puppy eats the barbecue, and this moment seems to be the best thing that has happened to the puppy in so many days.

  Lu Fan didn't think that a piece of barbecue was all it wanted, just a piece of barbecue.

  The little dog slowly loosened its mouth, and Lu Fan didn't mind the place where he was bitten. He just turned his head to look at the little dog and said, "So you're a poor thing too."

  The little dog definitely didn't know what "poor bug" meant, but it still nodded desperately.

  Lu Fan patted its head and said, "Alright, once is a coincidence, twice is fate. You and I are also fated, so I'll keep you as my pet. Follow me, I don't guarantee that you'll live well, but every day you'll definitely have roasted meat to eat."

  The puppy nodded desperately as if it would just make this one movement.

  Lu Fan smiled as he looked at it and took out another piece of roasted meat. This time, he ate with the little dog together.

  Time stands still at this moment, and the scene is frozen in time.

  It's possible that for Lu Fan, he simply decided to take in this small, wild beast as a pet.

  But for the little dog, this moment is forever.
