Chapter 109 – Three Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators at Our Doorstep
“Junior Brother, try to pick something from the top shelves,” Gu Ran said from behind just as he picked up the old book. “Most of the sword techniques down there are low-tier. It’d be a waste of this opportunity to choose one of those.”
Li Guanqi paused. He could not tell Gu Ran that Sword Spirit knew how to complete the missing portions of the book, so he shrugged. “Senior Sister, this technique suits me well. Some of the sword techniques here may have high tiers, but that doesn’t mean they’re the right fit.”
Gu Ran frowned. “Junior Brother, I know you’re gifted, but that’s no reason to squander your talent. Suitability matters, yes, but so does the technique’s tier. Even if a Yellow-tier technique suits you, it’ll still fall short of a Black-tier one on a fundamental level.
“This kind of opportunity doesn’t come around often. Besides, you chose this book the moment you walked in. Why not look around a bit more? You might find something else that suits you just as well.”
Li Guanqi shook his head. “I appreciate the advice, Senior Sister. I understand what you’re saying, but I’ll take this sword technique.”
Gu Ran rolled her eyes without reply and turned to choose her sword technique. Sword Spirit’s voice rang out in Li Guanqi’s mind. “This girl will probably be successful in the future if she specializes in spells.”
Li Guanqi was surprised because Sword Spirit rarely praised anyone.
“Oh, why?”
Sword Spirit continued, “This girl has a special physique. While not especially strong physically, her empathy and understanding are remarkable. Her spirit is more resilient than most. Such qualities make her very well-suited for the study of spells.”
Li Guanqi did not pay much attention to her reply. “Hehe, Sword Spirit, do you know any powerful spells? Could you teach them to me?”
Sword Spirit returned to her usual haughty self and smirked. “Spells? For you? A sword is enough to break ten thousand spells. What’s the use of learning them?”
Li Guanqi felt a jolt in his soul. He could practically hear her pride radiating through her words.
