Chapter 139: Astral Rune

Not long after, the quiet rooms door was opened again. Chen Xiao Han had already brought back some food.

Breakfast was very simple. Two steamed buns, a large bowl of congee, and a dish of pickled vegetables. However, although it was simple, the preparation of it was very fastidious. Just looking at it made a person hungry and start to salivate.

Lu Xuan hadnt eaten for a whole day and night and had long since been so hungry that his stomach rumbled. How could he wait now. Taking the food, he began to wolf it down.

Slow down. If its not enough, theres still more. Chen Xiao Han gleefully watched Lu Xuan eat and couldnt help but give him a reminder. After a pause, she then looked at the books piled at Lu Xuans side and asked: Youve finished reading all these books?

Mhmm. Finished all of them These books were pretty useful I feel like my understanding towards runes has increased a level Lu Xuan continued to answer Chen Xiao Han in between eating his meal.

Everything in his memories had been all rather high leveled rune drawing skills and how to use the runes. Now having looked over the basics, he had filled in that part of the blanks.

Also, these books which he had had Chen Xiao Han get werent only the basic books, there was also books that had recorded high level enchantment runes. These books normally would not be lent out so easily. If Lu Xuan had entered the Enchantment Hall according to the normal steps, he would only become an ordinary middle level enchanter and wouldnt necessarily be able to easily get these things.

However, now he was Hallmasters honorary disciple, and even more, Hallmaster and Elder Fan and others hope. With this kind of raising, he could naturally flip through them any time. Not to mention, with Lu Xuans current strength, ordinary middle level runes werent any problem for him.

Truthfully, the memories that Lu Xuan had received from the sword crystal similarly had quite a few high level enchantment runes which were even more perfect than those recorded in the Enchantment Hall, higher end, but he didnt dare to casually take them out. Those kinds of high level enchantment runes were all ancient enchantment runes. If others were to see it, he was afraid it could become troublesome. It was always wise to play it safe.

Thats why he specifically had Chen Xiao Han find these currently circulating high level runes which he could contrast with the ancient enchantment runes. From there he could remove some of the runes that had long since been lost. This way he could relax and use them in front of outsiders.

After finishing eating and drinking, Lu Xuan felt a burst of tiredness hit. Having read books for a whole day and night, his head had been continuously operating non-stop. While he hadnt felt anything while in that learning state, now that he had stopped, he was feeling tired.

He didnt have to endure it right now. There was a bed to rest on anyway. Ignoring Chen Xiao Han on the side, Lu Xuan directly climbed into bed and sat cross-legged. He hadnt slept in a long time. For him, circulating the Tai Yi Yuan Return Tactic was just as good a resting method for him.

However, before entering his cultivation state, he hadnt forgotten to send Xian Chen Han away: Hey, Xiao Han, help me get bring some materials for drawing an astral rune over. I want to practice on in a while.

The astral rune was a high level enchantment rune. When enchanted onto weapons, it could automatically absorb yuan force, making the weapon stimulate a stimulating qi, and it could even greatly enhance the power emitted by a weapon. Lu Xuan was preparing to draw an astral rune and enchant his xuan iron sword. After enchanting it, the xuan iron sword would be even more formidable.

More importantly, there was already the astral rune from the ancient enchantment runes. As long as he practiced it, once he was alone, he could use the ancient enchantment technique to draw. It would be much stronger than the version of astral rune circulating nowadays.

Hearing Lu Xuan directly saying her name, Chen Xiao Hans eyes grew large as she said: Is Xiao Han something that you can also call me? Call me senior sister.

Hearing this, Lu Xuan curled his lips: What senior sister. Dont trick me. Ive asked master. He told me hes never even accepted you as a disciple.

Oops. I was discovered by you. Chen Xiao Han had surprise in her eyes, but then she recovered: You trickster! You havent even left here. When could you have asked!

Looking at Chen Xiao Hans expression changing from embarrassment to anger, Lu Xuans eyes couldnt help but show a mischievous look. This girl was pretty fun to tease, exposing her lies on her own.

Alright, alright. Yesterday you tricked me into calling you senior sister. Lets call it even. I want to cultivate. Remember to help me find those materials. This was masters command.

Finished speaking, Lu Xuan didnt pay any more attention to her. His hands formed a hand symbol, and he began to circulate the Tai Yi Yuan Return Tactic. The yuan force that filled the air began to slowly enter into his body.

Once again entering the inward vision state, Lu Xuan could still feel the obstacle that prevented him from breaking through to body refining sixth level. It seemed like currently forcefully charging past it would still result in failure. He gave up on any ideas on breaking through immediately.

There was still plenty of time, no rush. It just so happened that he could take this time to closely examine the rune dao. Perhaps at the time, once his spirit force increased another step, it would be like water flowing forming a channel and he would break through. Adding on his martial path strength, it should be enough to take care of Lin Tian.

Seeing Lu Xuan quickly entering his cultivation state, Chen Xiao Han didnt dare to bother him and could only stomp her feet as she exited and went to find the needed materials.

Tai Yi Yuan Return Tactic continually circulated. After an unknown amount of great circulatory cycles, Lu Xuan felt his state had already returned to its peak. The fatigue had been expelled. No longer tired, he began to bring the training to a close.

When he once again opened his eyes, he discovered a slender young lady was currently standing in front of his desk, holding a brush, concentrating as she drew something.

Without question, this young lady was naturally Chen Xiao Han. After Lu Xuan had entered his cultivation state, she had been a bit bored and wanted to leave, but she didnt know when Lu Xuan would wake up. Therefore, she simply began to draw enchantment scrolls here.

Normally she didnt have other recreational activities. Perhaps it was her father and the other elders influences, when she didnt have anything to do, she liked to just draw on scrolls to pass the time. So truthfully speaking, her foundations were more solid than Lu Xuan. If only comparing within the confines of current enchantment skills, she couldnt compare to Lu Xuan, but if Chen Xiao Han also learned ancient enchantment techniques, right now she would definitely be higher than Lu Xuan. After all, she had learned since she was young. How could Lu Xuan who had just picked it up along the road compare to her.

Without anything to do and not daring to disturb Chen Xiao Han, Lu Xuan sat on the bed and sized her up with great interest.

Long bangs flowed naturally down, revealing two delicate eyebrows. Below the eyebrows were a pair of sparkling eyes. The hair that had originally been tucked behind her ear had slipped down as she drew with her head lowered. The delicate side of her face and her white neck were presented fully to Lu Xuans eyes.

Chen Xiao Han, who was currently focused on drawing runes, had a peaceful face, very different from the one she normally displayed. Her eyes were staring at the scroll before her, not daring to a single mistake. Obviously she was extremely earnest, however, in that earnesty, there was some tension mixed it. Watching her cute appearance, Lu Xuan couldnt help but unconsciously smile.

Looking down further, Lu Xuans eyes naughtily stared at Chen Xiao Hans chest and couldnt help but feel surprised. How come todays appearance seemed to be bigger than yesterdays? Although it still wasnt as large as Lin Xin Yis, it couldnt be considered as flat.

Carefully thinking back, Lu Xuan discovered, yesterday, the clothes that Chen Xiao Han had worn seemed to be a bit looser and wasnt as skin-fit. Todays white clothes were hugged the body tighter by quite a bit. Her waist was tightly bound, revealing the waists curves. At the same time, a good outline of her chest was given.

Just as Lu Xuan was studying with relish, he heard Chen Xiao Han suddenly cry out. The scroll on the desk flashed then dimmed back down. Obviously this times drawing had been a failure.

Failing once again, Chen Xiao Han was somewhat angry. Her small mouth pouted and the brush in her hand was placed on the desk. That momentary tranquility was immediately broken, however, her angry appearance had a different sort of charm.

Seeming to have detected Lu Xuans vision, Chen Xiao Han suddenly turned her head and just happened to meet his eyes. This time, Chens big young miss aura had been scattered.

You stupid Lu Xuan. Its all your fault. I almost succeeded. This was my closest try. You owe me.

Lu Xuan was stunned. Then he refused to yield and refuted: What does that have to do with me. Ive been awake for a long time already and have been here not daring to move. Obviously its your own strength thats lacking.

Lu Xuans refute made Chen Xiao Han even angrier. Although she also knew that her own strength wasnt enough, how could she be willing to admit it. She resorted to strong sophistry and said: Obviously it was you stealing peeks at me, which divided my attention, which is why I lost.

Hey, me stealing peeks at you, why is your attention getting divided? Could it be you towards me hehe. Lu Xuan smiled maliciously.

Nonsense. This young miss wont look put you in my sight. Youre thinking too much. Chen Xiao Han harrumphed.

Since Chen Xiao Han had already finished drawing, Lu Xuan stood up. He spoke as he walked: Could this be considered as slapping yourself? I didnt say that you had any intentions towards me. I was saying, do you still hold a grudge against me?

Facing Lu Xuans word games, Chen Xiao Han recognized that she wasnt his opponent. She immediately no longer talked, closing her mouth, making no sounds.

What rune you were just drawing? Lu Xuan proactively asked.

It was the astral rune which you had me grab materials for. Ive practiced many times, but unfortunately Ive never succeeded. Chen Xiao Han replied. Although she had drawn a middle level rune Wild Explosion rune during the assessment, in reality, she had long since began practicing high level runes. However, because she didnt have high enough success rate, she had to change to a middle level rune.

Try again. Ill watch where theres problems. Thatll count as paying you. Lu Xuan said unconcernedly.

However, towards Lu Xuans words, Chen Xiao Han had a face full of disbelief: You only saw high level runes last night. You cant even draw it yourself, how can you spot where there are problems.

She admitted that Lu Xuans talent was indeed pretty good, but to be able to point out her mistakes in one try, that was an impossibility. Even if it was middle level spirit runemaster like Hallmaster, newly making contact with a rune, they would still need to study it a bit before they could point anything out.

How do you know whether or not Im able? How about we make a bet. If I can point out your mistakes, this period of time, you will have to obediently serve me, pouring tea, sending water, finding materials. How about it? Lu Xuan laughed.
