Chapter 115: 115, (Five Elements is a Good Thing)

Translator: 549690339

Today, Lin Chan is cooking black rice porridge for Lu Xun.

Little Mute’s overall culinary talent is mediocre, incomparable to Lu Xun’s, but she is indeed skilled at making porridge, be it sweet or savory, she manages

both the taste and heat perfectly.

Lu Xun and her sat across from each other, quietly enjoying their porridge. He didn’t say anything, just simply enjoying his disciple’s care.

During the meal, he watched Lin Chan intently. At the end, Little Mute looked so embarrassed by his gaze that she bowed her head extremely low, almost burying it in the bowl.

“You look a lot healthier,” Lu Xun said with a smile.

Clearly, with the growth of her cultivation base, and the help from her master last night, the strange illness that had plagued Lin Chan since childhood was gradually weakening. Now she started to sleep sweetly every night. Feeling more comfortable physically, even her appetite had somewhat improved compared to before.

Though she is still thin and small, looking much healthier made her appear less sickly, and her whole body finally carried some youthful vigor.

“She’s getting prettier,” concluded Lu Xun in his heart.

It feels like the ugly duckling is gradually becoming a swan, Lin Chan is also continuously transforming. 𝘧𝘳𝓮𝓮𝓌𝘦𝓫𝓷𝘰𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝓬ℴ𝘮

Somehow, a strong sense of accomplishment welled up in Lu Xun’s heart.

Perhaps, this is the charm of grooming!

After finishing the porridge, Lin Chan placed the bowls and chopsticks back into her small bamboo basket.

A young girl carrying a little bamboo basket walking between the trees, was indeed a cute sight.

After his disciple left, Lu Xun sat cross-legged, planning his own leveling path.

He couldn’t leave the cave for now. There are only two ways to go out. Either the master changes his mind, or he tries to figure out some hacks to earn experience points without going out.

Both options are clearly challenging, leaving him in distress.

By noon, Third Brother Zhuge Lai Fu came into the cave with a bunch of cooking ingredients.

Lu Xun looked at his buoyant expression, very doubtful of his claim last night of “I’ll go back to sort out the sword array”. Are you sure you didn’t mean recipes instead?

Apparently, Third Brother’s enthusiasm to explore cooking was greater than teaching formations.

Lu Xun did not disturb Third Brother’s interest and engaged in profound conversations with him. Relying on his superior verbal skills, he was able to address Third Brother’s kitchen puzzles.

As for whether Third Brother’s cooking would improve… Lu Xun found it highly unlikely.

He can naturally cook something unpalatable—unredeemable.

Zhuge Lai Fu is obviously getting hooked on creative cooking. Lu Xun certainly can’t persuade him otherwise.

However, when cooking today, Lu Xun was extremely serious.

He was hoping that with each bite of his food, the master would recall his good deeds and let him out of seclusion.

Such an excellent disciple should serve by the master’s side!

Look at it now, even though it’s just the back of the mountain, even having a meal had to be separated into two areas. Lu Xun and Lin Chan eat in the cave, while others are in the bamboo grove.

Such a lack of warmth!

In the bamboo grove, as he thought, the master indeed felt a sense of compassion when eating the food he cooked in his absence.

His disciple really isn’t bad, at least his cooking is very delicious.

So, the master reminded Zhuge Lai Fu, “Old Three, you must carefully guide Little Five in his practice of the Sword Array. Understand?”

Third Brother nodded seriously with his dark face.

After saying this, the master added, “Have you set up the formation at the mouth of the cave? He… can’t get out, right?”

“Yes, disciple has arranged it. Only he can’t move freely in and out of the cave entrance. Unless Little Junior Brother makes a breakthrough, he won’t be able to break the barrier,” Third Brother replied truthfully. “Very good,” the master nodded, showing satisfaction.

Isn’t this kind of interaction nice just like this!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

The Master picked up another rib Lu Xun had made, revealing a gentle smile on his face.

By the afternoon, the third senior brother arrived at the cave to guide Lu Xun in the training of the Sword Array.

Lu Xun was slightly disappointed as the Master showed no signs of letting him out. He only instructed the third senior brother to tell him to focus on his training, to stay humble and patient, and not to rush for success. It was fine to take things slowly.

Hearing these earnest lessons, Lu Xun thought:

Master, so ruthless!

“Peace, peace, peace…” After repeating the Mental Tranquility Technique in his mind dozens of times, Lu Xun started his study on the Sword Array.

The third senior brother sat next to Lu Xun, both hands in his sleeves as if he were an old farmer, and said to him:

“Little Junior Brother, the oldest brother and second sister trained in the sword, Little Nanbei practices the knife, and I’m mastering the symbols.”

“Symbol Array is what I am good at. Sword Array and Symbol Array are alike in their uniqueness — especially for you, Little Junior Brother, who builds arrays with Sword Qi, which in reality is the same as a Qi symbol.”

With that, he said to Lu Xun, “Come, cast a Sword Qi for me to see.”

“Okay.” Lu Xun nodded, opened his palm, and a Sword Qi emerged in his hand. He didn’t hold back, the Sword Qi he produced was at his full strength.

“Here, give it to me, let me study it.” The third senior brother who loved researching new things said, his eyes shining. He reached out his rough and dark hand.

Hearing his words, Lu Xun transferred the Sword Qi over. Amazingly, the third senior brother was actually able to catch the Sword Qi and easily control it!

“How did the third senior brother do it?” Lu Xun was puzzled and amazed.

Zhuge Lai Fu toyed with the small Sword Qi in his hand for a while. With a gentle squeeze, he… crushed Lu Xun’s Sword Qi!

Then he stroked his fingers as if enjoying the feel of it…

Lu Xun’s mouth twitched slightly, “Are you sure you’re trained in Symbol

Array, not Iron Sand Palm?”

The third senior brother looked rough and tough, turns out he really is tough!

“Little Junior Brother, your Sword Qi has no attribute now. But once you learn the technique given by the master, you will be able to use the Five Elements Sword Qi at will,” said the third senior brother.

This is indeed a very enticing point, mastering all Five Elements not only provides an abundant spiritual power, but also allows one to freely switch between elements.

Although the cultivation process is arduous, the results are absolutely rewarding.

“And with the theory of mutual generation and restraint among Five Elements, paired with your Five Elements Sword Qi… Little Junior Brother, you really are suitable for cultivating the Sword Array!” added the third senior brother.

Indeed, once Lu Xun cultivates the Nameless Technique to the first level, he will be able to freely transform into Five Elements. When he grasps the principles of mutual generation and restraint between Five Elements, there will be numerous possibilities for him!

You cultivate the Fire Technique, which is restrained by water, so I’ll stab you with Water Element Sword Qi!

You cultivate the Wood Technique, which is restrained by metal, so I’ll stab you with Metal Element Sword Qi!

Anyway, a stab for each, right in the heart, guaranteed!

The principle of “mutual generation and restraint” is often considered in the formation. Choosing to learn the Sword Array is indeed the right path.

After some pondering, the third senior brother said, “Then let’s start with the

Five Elements Formation!”

Hearing this, Lu Xun felt his day of leaving the cave retreat would yet be a long way off.

The Five Elements Formation, though seemingly singular, is in reality a series composed of five minor formations.

These five minor formations can be used independently, but can also form the entire Five Elements Formation.

Usually, everyone just learns one minor formation. The Five Elements Formation requires five people to jointly create.

But Lu Xun can do it all by himself!

It sounds impressive, but it also means… it requires a lot of Experience Points to learn it!

What Lu Xun lacks the most now, are Experience Points!
