Chapter 447: 447,【Ancient Ones】(Thanks to Alliance Hierarch “Ai Ai” for 100,000 points reward for the 7th time)

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 Enlightenment level 8 and the other, Enlightenment 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 came from one person.

At that very moment, even Lu Xun himself could not be one hundred percent certain that this uncle he had never met 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 confirmed by the hammer of Thor.

But at least one thing could be affirmed: If the words in Jade Simplicity truly came from his uncle, then his uncle was at least a person who had created numerous 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 something occurred to him.

“You two can look around here on your own. I have something to verify. I’ll go back to the previous room,” Lu Xun instructed the two girls.

Ji Li and Lin Chan nodded in agreement, 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 Elements Cultivation Method in here!

“The landlord said that although this technique takes a lot of time and effort, it has been previously practised by some 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 me 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 Elements Cultivation Method 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.

“Something’s wrong. Although this is largely in line with the Five Elements Cultivation Method I practised, there are still some 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 some 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 seemed to carry an air of flamboyance.

“This handwriting is definitely the landlord’s!” Lu Xun exclaimed 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 method 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 same graceful handwriting at the bottom of the Jade Simplicity:

“My brother, I have amended three places. It’s almost perfect now. It’s up to you whether to practise it or not.”

Beneath this statement was the modified Five Elements Cultivation Method. Indeed, there were three changes that matched the method Lu Xun was currently practicing.

“So, apparently, the tutor and uncle used to exchange messages through the Jade Simplicity.” Lu Xun commented mockingly.

The feeling was like a letter being sent across, two childish old men persistently leaving messages on this booklet.

As expected, beneath the second generation of this method, Lu Xun saw his tutor’s handwriting:

“My brother, after practicing this technique, I narrowly avoided going berserk. I have coughed up blood in extreme measures. 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 confirmed that the person the tutor mentioned who practiced the mysterious Five Elements Cultivation Method was most likely himself!

Lu Xun found it extremely amusing and continued to read further.

As expected, below was the third generation of the Five Elements Cultivation Method.

Before the method, was uncle’s message: “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 time was exactly the same as what Lu Xun was practicing. There was no difference.

Below the method, the tutor only replied two words:

“My brother, the eldest brother is like a father, I’ll practice for the last time.”

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 became 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 name. I guess most likely, after seeing ‘adequate’, uncle might have been so annoyed that he forgot to name 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 methods.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

That’s why, players are so cautious when they swear allegiance to sects at the beginning of the game. Professional players can hardly wait to squeeze into the Great Sects, using all their means to worm their way in.

Looking at the Jade Simplicity on the shelf, Lu Xun thought:

“So, doesn’t this mean 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 timeline, the legendary powerhouse who created a new basic method did so after Ancient Times.

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 newcomers, 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 time. Otherwise, a minor deviation would have been life-threatening.

From the messages, it seemed that uncle didn’t seem to care too much about seeing the tutor cough up blood…

So, at that time, was the tutor as Lu Xun thought, without cultivation base or with a low realm?

“The tutor and uncle, they indeed survived the Ancient Times.” 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 Times.

Intuition told him, this was highly significant!
