Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 570 - 530

The Carefree Taoist Priest in front of him continued to squat in front of the furnace, stuffing wood into the fire. His figure appeared extremely solitary in this forest.

The thoughts of a hermit master are inscrutable to others. Having bid him farewell, Lu Chuan turned and began to descend the mountain.

He retraced his original path and started to walk downwards along the mountain trail.

As he walked, he flipped through the sword manual he had just acquired.

The techniques recorded in the sword manual were straightforward, mostly teaching how to slay evil spirits.

For example, how to slay an evil spirit after it leaves a human body, or when an evil spirit has only partially left its human host.

The manual detailed different techniques for exterminating spirits in various situations, all clearly recorded.

Once he returned, he would definitely have to practice them a bit.

Lu Chuan stuffed the sword manual into his bosom and followed the mountain path back the way he came.

At the foot of the mountain.

Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang were still waiting in front of the waterfall.

Both of them looked at the area below the waterfall with concern, hoping to see Lu Chuan’s figure emerge soon.

"Sister, it’s been almost half an hour since he went up, and he hasn’t come down yet. Could something have happened?"

"Don’t talk nonsense, Lu Chuan will definitely come down safe and sound. After all, he has the protection of two Origin Divine Fires within him, not to mention his extremely robust constitution. There shouldn’t be a problem."

The two continued to wait for a while longer, and finally, through the spray of the waterfall, they saw Lu Chuan’s figure.

Lu Chuan walked out and made his way to the riverbank.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang quickly ran over.

After Gu Xiaosang approached, she immediately began sizing up Lu Chuan.

"You don’t have a single injury on you. You didn’t find some hidden shortcut, did you?"

She asked curiously.

"No, I just braved my way up there."

Gu Xiaorou smiled and said, "Seeing you unharmed puts my mind at ease. It seems your constitution is strong enough to easily handle those challenges."

At that moment, Gu Xiaorou’s gaze landed on the bronze sword that Lu Chuan was carrying on his back.

"Lu Chuan, where did you get that sword from?"

Lu Chuan took the longsword from his back.

"This is a bronze sword. Although it appears ordinary, it contains extraordinary power."

"This precious sword was given to me by the Carefree Taoist Priest on the mountain."

Upon hearing his words, Gu Xiaosang immediately widened her eyes.

"Really? You met the Carefree Taoist Priest? I thought he was just a legend. Is this person even alive for sure?"

"Of course, it’s true. However, he’s a lonely figure, seemingly very solitary."

Lu Chuan drew the bronze precious sword from its sheath, and a faint white glow circled around the blade.

"This sword, although it looks very ordinary, indeed contains mysteries."

Gu Xiaorou continued to examine the longsword in Lu Chuan’s hand.

"Did the Carefree Taoist Priest tell you anything else?"

Lu Chuan said, "I asked him about the evil spirits, and he told me that evil spirits inhabit human bodies, waiting for the right moment to take over their hosts."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaorou became worried, "If that’s true, isn’t that very dangerous? If an evil spirit inhabits someone, we can’t even tell!"

What troubled Lu Chuan the most was that his Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil could only annihilate an evil spirit the moment it left a human body.

For some reason, the evil spirits in the Kunlun Domain were incredibly adept at hiding. Utilizing the Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil, Lu Chuan couldn’t see which people were possessed by evil spirits.

It seems the evil beings in the Kunlun Domain are all extraordinary.

Lu Chuan continued, "However, I just looked at the sword manual, and this bronze precious sword will emit a faint glow when it gets close to an evil spirit."

"So, as long as I carry this sword with me, I will still be able to recognize evil spirits."

"The sword manual also records how to wield the sword to force evil spirits out of the human body."

"If I encounter a similar situation again, I will have a means to respond. All in all, it wasn’t a wasted journey."

This discovery was well worth the effort he had made all along the way.

The Carefree Taoist Priest was getting on in years and needed a young successor to inherit his mantle.

Although Lu Chuan was not a professional at exorcising evil spirits, he was indeed very suited to inherit the mantle.

The three of them started to descend the mountain together, returning to where they had tied their horses.

Mounting their horses, the three began their journey back to the city, with Lu Chuan flipping through the sword manual in his hand as he rode.

"Does the sword manual mention what this sword is called?"

Gu Xiaorou asked curiously.

Lu Chuan quickly flipped through the pages to the end, but he did not see any name.

"There is no name. The Carefree Taoist Priest didn’t tell me, so let’s just call it the bronze sword for now." freewёbnoνel-com

"You haven’t practiced swordsmanship before, have you?"

Gu Xiaorou continued to ask.

"No, but you can teach me."

"No problem, when we get back, I can teach you some basic sword moves."

Gu Xiaorou smiled gently.

The three quickened their pace back to the city, and by evening, they had returned to Carefree City.

At the Gu Family Manor, as soon as Lu Chuan entered the front courtyard, he bumped into the Great Elder, who was in a hurry to leave on an errand.

At the gate, the Great Elder and Lu Chuan came face to face.

"Lu Chuan, you’re back?"

"Did you meet the Carefree Taoist Priest?"

He then looked Lu Chuan up and down, noticing he was unharmed, although the edges of his clothing were somewhat dirty.

He smiled and said, "Did you give up halfway? It’s okay. Knowing when to retreat isn’t a bad thing."

Before Lu Chuan could speak, Gu Xiaorou said, "Lu Chuan made it up the mountain and even met the Carefree Taoist Priest. He even inherited his mantle, obtaining his Magic Artifact and the sword manual."

Hearing this, the Great Elder stopped in his tracks, looked up quickly, and appeared surprised as he looked at the trio.

"Is this true?"

Lu Chuan took the bronze sword from his back and said, "You once had a brief encounter with the Carefree Taoist Priest, why not see what you think of this precious sword?"

The Great Elder hurried over and inspected the precious sword in Lu Chuan’s hand closely.

Suddenly, he took a deep breath, "This is indeed the Carefree Taoist Priest’s bronze precious sword! You really did meet the man himself. How is he doing now?"

"He’s okay, just living a solitary and quiet life."

"That’s not a problem. He’s accustomed to wandering the lands of the nine provinces alone. If he had several companions, he might not adapt well."

"It’s good that he’s alive. I never expected that you would actually meet him. I’m even a bit envious of you. If only I could go up there to see him once more... that would be great," he sighed, shaking his head helplessly.

He patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder and then walked out of the manor.

"Come on, I’ll take you to the back garden to practice swordsmanship."

Gu Xiaorou pulled Lu Chuan’s arm, leading him to the back garden.

Lu Chuan first practiced some basic sword moves with Gu Xiaorou, then began practicing from the very first technique of the Carefree Sword Technique.
