Chapter 27 - Sword Practice
Chapter 27: Sword Practice
Early morning.
After a storm, the Tianxuan Sect seemed renewed.
The fallen petals fluttered after the rain. Jiang Huai got up early to clean up the peach petals in the courtyard. The yard was planted with only peach and locust trees. Jiang Huai collected the swept petals, which after a thorough wash could be used to make peach blossom cakes later. Then he pruned the peach tree branches so that the peaches would grow big, sweet, and juicy in the summer.
Luo Qingyu had been getting up obediently every morning lately, and today she didn’t need to go out. She stretched lazily at the doorway in her light beige spring dress, her chest seemingly about to burst the seams, while Chu Xianning opened her door punctually every day.
Jiang Huai had already prepared black sesame-filled glutinous rice balls in the kitchen.
These days, the inner sect competition was for those fighting in the revival matches, so Jiang Huai didn’t need to participate and could continue to laze around in his courtyard. He usually didn’t practice swordsmanship, spending most of his free time pondering over talismans, the Way of the Pill, and formations.
And occasionally, he would glance at his tricky system mall.
His system mall was quite cunning, refreshing once a day with a hundred items, including all sorts of strange things. For example, today he saw items like 【Three Hundred Tang Poems】, 【Evil-Repelling Ice Silk Over-the-Knee Socks (color selectable)】, 【Nude-colored Handmade High Heels (size selectable)】, 【Crescent Moon Earrings】 – all of which only required one point to purchase.
Items like 【Winter Storm Magic Scroll】 belonged to the combat consumables category, with this scroll starting at a million points.
【Soul Severing Sword】 was a weapon, which in this world’s ranking would be considered a low-grade heavenly weapon, priced at a million points.
There were also knowledge books like 【Introduction to Magic Technology】, 【Introduction to Alchemy】, ranging from ten thousand to one million points.
