Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 179



Chapter 179: A Visit from Jiang Shuyi (Part 2) When Lu Shu went to the yard to train on his sword again, Li Xianyi sensed that Lu Shu’s chi was much stronger. He wondered why Lu Shu’s chi strengthened so quickly.

As no one spoke about the chi fruit, who would’ve guessed? He could only assume that Lu Shu was talented and that he wasn’t wrong about Lu Shu.

But he still had to remind Lu Shu regarding his control of chi, “Once there are signs of the chi trying to breakthrough, you have to suppress it. Back then, we didn’t even sleep in order to suppress our chi. Our master would make us wake up after sleeping for a moment to continue to control our chi. That was a really painful period of time and I hope you’re mentally prepared.”

These words were still rather simplified. They weren’t just not allowed to sleep, they didn’t even dare exert strength in the toilet in case they lost focus and an exertion of strength would cause the sea of chi to unlock…

According to Li Xianyi’s unreliable master, this was how Li Xianyi’s master opened up his chi… Unlocking one’s sea of chi early would result in huge side-effects. In the history of Li Xianyi’s sect, when his grandmaster unlocked his sea of chi, inside his sea of chi was like an endless ocean and waves of chi were constantly crashing.

Once the sea of chi was unlocked, the sword of will was completed!

In the end, upon the comparison of the disciples and next generations, everyone was rather ashamed… their sea of chi was small and paled in comparison to their grandmaster’s while they adopted all sorts of methods to open up their chi.

Some people unlocked their sea of chi in the toilet, while some achieved it while eating. When the food was too sumptuous, they would lose their focus and lose control of their chi. While some were unlocked when they visited the brothel for the first time…

A sword manual passed down by Li Xianyi’s ancestors was kept inside his house. Written inside the manual were the hard work and experiences of his seniors, such as how to feel the initial chi and if there were any shortcuts.

In then end, all that was written inside were, for example, in the toilet, being a little forceful could cause to sea of chi to open up. So beware of this!

The first time Li Xianyi saw this manual, he was dumbfounded.

Just from this point, it could be seen that the unlocking of sea of chi is very dependent on fate…

Li Xianyi was very curious as to when Lu Shu would unlock his sea of chi? He felt that Lu Shu was not far away from it.

In fact, ever since last night, Lu Shu had been on high alert. He felt that his chi was extremely volatile, a slight miscontrol would result in the collision of his chi. In the end, he could only train and suppress his chi at the same time to stabilize it.

During Li Xianyi’s time, they didn’t have any training methods or magical energy to replenish their vitality. And they would still feel sleepy when it was time to sleep. Some of them would wake up and find their sea of chi already unlocked. In a sense, Lu Shu had been blessed by the magical era- he didn’t need to sleep!

But not needing to sleep didn’t mean that everything would go smoothly. He still had to constantly be on alert.

This process was a test of perseverance. Li Xianyi once said that the highs and lows of practitioners were based on aptitude and perseverance and this didn’t just refer to the sword training, but there’s also tolerance…

To Li Xianyi and the rest, protecting your sea of chi was a nerve wrecking process that could last for months.

Li Xianyi emphasized, “You must be extremely careful. When I unlocked my sea of chi, my chi had been accumulated into a pool of water.”

Lu Shu nodded his head, he always took his training seriously.

For some reason, Li Xianyi felt that Lu Shu was much stronger than him when he was Lu Shu’s age. As to what exactly he would achieve, it would depend on his own progression.

Thinking of what his old ancestors penned down in the manual, “The sea of chi is as vast as the mountains, and flows like water. The manifestation of your will in your swords would rise up the mountains and into the clouds.”

What this sentence mentioned was the magnificence that all the people in this sect looked forward to.

While Lu Shu was selling stinky tofu in the morning, with a sample on display while he browsed the golden foundation’s website, a voice suddenly greeted him, “Lu Shu?”

Lu Shu raised his head and was delighted, “Jiang Shuyi, why are you here?”

“Oh. I happened to pass by and remembered that you sell stinky tofu here, turns out you’re really here,” Jiang Shuyi smiled.

Lu Shu thought for a moment. Where was he going so early in the morning that he had to pass by here?

Jiang Shuyi donned a white tracksuit and looked rather majestic and men who passed by couldn’t stop themselves from looking over. Uncle Li, who was serving a bowl of soup to his customer, bellowed in glee, “Little Shu, is this your girlfriend from school? She’s really pretty!”

Lu Shu felt rather uncomfortable, “Uncle, don’t spout nonsense! He’s a guy!” Recalling how Jiang Shuyi looked when he leaned against his shoulder in the remain while sleeping, Lu Shu shuddered.

Stay straight, stay straight…

Uncle Li was shocked when he heard Lu Shu’s words. Guy?! His hand trembled and he spilled almost half his bowl of soup…

Jiang Shuyi didn’t have much of a reaction to that exchange and just smiled awkwardly before asking Lu Shu, “when are you packing up your stall? I have something to discuss with you.”

“I sold out a long time ago, I’m packing up now. It’s not very conducive to speak here, my house is not that far away, we can get there by walking,” Lu Shu passed the sample of his stinky tofu to uncle Li and walked off after packing his stuff.

Jiang Shuyi followed by his side and said all of a sudden, “The class organized a class chat group last night but didn’t invite you. I’ll invite you?”

Lu Shu was pleased, “Alright.”

When the words ‘Jiang Shuyi invited Lu Shu into the group…” appeared, the number of people in the group quickly dwindled. 51, 49, 45, 42, 31, 24…

“Hahaha,” Jiang Shuyi laughed, “Everyone really avoids you like a plague now…”

Lu Shu didn’t mind at all and laughed as he collected the distress points, “Anyway, my relations with everyone in the past weren’t very good.”

Jiang Shuyi was really curious at this point, “Why do you not want to have good relations with everyone? What if you need help in the future?”

Lu Shu stayed silent for a moment before replying, “I can rely on myself. I don’t need anyone’s help.”

“You never asked anyone for help your entire life?” Jiang Shuyi felt that it was unbelievable. Thinking in Lu Shu’s point of view, Jiang Shuyi felt that he would never pull through if they swapped places in their lives.

Lu Shu joked, “I have never asked anyone for help. I have only asked for a better fate.”

In Jiang Shuyi’s 17 years of living, it was his first time meeting someone so special. It was amazing how he could live so well and happily through his own sheer hard work.
