Zuo Shuming was startled, he drew back but still answered honestly, “I... I want to become a sword cultivator!”

“Really?” Lonemoon was even more agitated and grabbed his collar, questioning word by word. “You’re sure it’s a sword cultivator and not a body cultivator?”

“It’s sword cultivator?” What the hell was a body cultivator? “Is there any problem?”

Lonemoon suddenly stiffened, an odd, inexplicable expression instantly appeared on his face, while it seemed like something was about to spill out of his eyes. He released his collar a while after and said solemnly, “No! No problem at all! Sword cultivator is the best, you’re very suitable to be a sword cultivator, especially suitable!”

So many years had passed, finally... finally there was a disciple who wanted to practice the sword, he really felt like crying!

“Re... Really?” Zuo Shuming was delighted but his expression changed a while after when he seemed to have thought of something. “But our sect does not have sword cultivators, there are also very little books regarding sword dharma in the library, but...”

“I have them!” Lonemoon cut him off, completely excited. “Sword dharma is it? What kind do you want? I have everything within the ranks of Heaven, Earth, Mystic and Yellow. Oh yes, you’re a triple spirit root of elemental water, wood and fire, then learn the Mist Sword Technique first, you’re most suitable, having just entered Foundation Establishment. Also, you’re getting older, so your fitness must catch up quickly too, only then will you be able to maximize the potential of your sword dharma, of course you cannot overdo it too!” Too much and he’ll end up like those steel barbies in Invincible Sect that became body cultivators. “Also, you can try finding an intrinsic dharmic artifact now, it will help you to master the sword qi...”

He babbled on and said a lot that left Zuo Shuming dumbfounded. He only wanted to practice the sword, why did Brother Lonemoon look even more excited than him.

“By the way, I recall I seemed to have gotten... um traded for a piece of red fiery mystic iron from Xun Shu back in the days. It happens that you have an elemental fire spirit root, after some forging it would be perfect for your intrinsic dharmic artifact.” With that said, he brought out an entirely fiery red crystal as big as one’s palm that resembled an azure stone. Then also took out a jade slip of the Misty sword technique and handed both over.

“This...” Zuo Shuming’s eyes widened abruptly as he looked at the things in his hand. Although he had never seen them before, just by the rich and seemingly solid Spirit Qi around it, he could tell it wasn’t something ordinary. He hurriedly shook his head and said, “No! Brother Lonemoon has already helped me a lot, how can I casually take your things. Moreover, this thing looks extremely precious, it must have taken you a lot of effort to obtain it.”

“It’s alright, we’re all sword... all friends, it didn’t take me a lot of effort too.” Just conveniently put it in my bag.

But Zuo Shuming shook his head even more firmly. “Simply because we’re friends, the more I should not take advantage of Brother Lonemoon.”

Lonemoon surveyed him from top to bottom and grinned even wider. “Look at what you’re saying, you call me Brother Lonemoon, then there’s no need to calculate everything so clearly.” He directly shoved the slip into his hands and patted his shoulder. “Come come take it, if there’s anything you don’t understand, ask me anytime.”

“But...” He still looked hesitant.

“No buts!” Lonemoon cut him off and said earnestly, “Don’t worry, on the account that we’re friends, how could I put you in a difficult spot? I know your difficulties, these techniques and artifacts, I will... put them on credit first!”

His tune changed as he brought out a thick accounts book and started flipping through it. The words ‘Fatty’ could still be vaguely be seen repeatedly flashing out in the front.

Zuo Shuming: “...” Turns out all these had to be paid for?

“Oh yes, you’ve yet to learn casting, I don’t think you can forge this red fiery mystic iron. I know a friend, his forging skills are not bad. Why don’t I get him to forge it into a spirit sword for you first, then have you warm it into your intrinsic dharmic artifact!”

“Ah? Ah!” Zuo Shuming was dumbfounded, completely out of his senses.

“That’s set then!” Lonemoon put that crystal away. “The forging cost, materials cost, techniques cost and middleman cost etc, I’ll give you a one percent discount, rounded to a whole, it’ll be 2.5 million supreme-grade spirit stones, we’re all friends right! Don’t worry my brother who does forging is very reliable!”

The bankrupt friend Zuo Shuming: “...”

The reliable forging friend Yi Qing: “...”

Zuo Shuming looked at the jade slip containing the technique in his hands and was stunned for a long time.

Hold on, what just happened? Why was he suddenly in a debt of 2.5million and it’s even supreme-grade spirit stones? Things were developing too quickly, he totally couldn’t react in time.

“The weather today is great!” On the other hand, Lonemoon’s smile was as warm as spring beside him, it was rare that his eyes weren’t filled with disdain but more of admiration. “There’s no time like the present, let’s start practicing your sword now!”

“Ah! Ah?” Zuo Shuming was still dazed and subconsciously replied, “But I don’t have a spirit sword now, and...” He had yet to read the contents of the jade slip!

“It’s fine I have it.” Lonemoon pulled out a spirit sword with a whoosh and shoved it into his hands. “Take it, I’ll rent it to you for now, not expensive, just one spirit stone a day! We’re friends!”

“...” He was close to not knowing the word ‘friend’ already!

“Junior Brother Zuo!” A clear and melodious voice came from the doorway, a pretty lady dressed in pink walked in and smiled gently at the two of them. “Congratulations Junior Brothers on entering the inner sect, how has it been at the main peak? Are there any difficulties?”

Zuo Shuming turned back for a look, a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes and he turned and bowed. “Greetings Senior Sister Shu Yi!”

The visitor was that invader Shu Yi, no one knows what’s wrong with her, but ever since that incident at the spirit field, she would come over from time to time and move around in front of Zuo Shuming, her attitude gentler with each time as she showed great concern. The way she looked at Zuo Shuming was all sorts of bashfulness, as if she as deeply in love with in, anyone could tell. Such acting was considered excellent already, pity Zuo Shuming seemed to be a little blind!

“No need to be so courteous Junior Brother Zuo.” Shu Yi’s smile became even softer. “You can just call me Shu Yi.”

“Etiquette cannot be abandoned!” He replied in all seriousness.

Shu Yi could only sigh, looking around, her gaze swept across Lonemoon before saying meaningfully, “Are you good staying here? There are many disciples in the main peak, that steward of the Disciples’ Hall searched for a good while before he managed to put the both of you adjacent to each other.”

“Turns out Senior Sister had helped to arrange our living quarters.” Zuo Shuming’s eyes brightened and he said gratefully, “Thank you Senior Sister for your help!” Being able to stay close to someone he knew had saved him a lot of trouble.

“Don’t stand on ceremony, it’s a small matter.” Shu Yi beamed gently. “By the way, I came to inform you that the peak master of Dan Chen Mountain will be personally teaching a lesson tomorrow. My father hasn’t done so in decades, don’t miss it.”
