Swordsman never lie

Inside Li Xian's mind, there was a small universe that possesses thousands of stars each shining with different colors and figures. There was a green sword surrounded by different other swords. It was constantly spurring the green light that fell upon his body.

The green light entered his sea of consciousness out of nowhere and formed a giant green sword. After that, everything stopped. Li Xian opened his eyes. He made his connection with his Destiny Star which was Wind Sword.

It was quite weird yet understandable since he had the contract with the wind spirit and passion for swordsmanship. But now, he can't cultivate. He can only cultivate his soul at night or with soul crystals. He didn't cultivate further and used soul crystals because they are very precious and night is most common.

Finally, he picked up where he left previously. He ran Infinite Dao Scripture in his mind and started condensing the roots at his heart. This root is virtual yet real. It is virtual because it doesn't affect his heart but it is real because it affects his mind and cultivation.

'Dao is infinite, the heart is mysterious, one word, one law, thousand words, thousand laws, nothing is limited, nothing has ended, everything is unlimited, you can't just see it. Universe, life, materials, everything are created and destroyed.'

'But the process never ends. The end is the beginning and the beginning already has its own end. Walk out of the circle, never limit yourself, if you are not bound by anything, you are invincible. But if you are bound by feelings, you are undefeatable.'

'Walk in the path created by others, walk and walk until you reach the point where the journey seems endless. That is infinite. Cultivation is infinite, so walk straight, never walk in a circle, and if you ever fall in a circle, jump out of it.'

'Infinite Dao Scripture- Holds a thousand laws in a single heart, creates a thousand paths that lead to the infinite road. Dao is mysterious yet understandable. Eternity is unreachable, find your heart, heed for immortality, do not seek eternity, and only seek infinity.'

This scripture shocked him to point of being speechless. What does eternity mean? It means time doesn't have any effect on you. But this scripture disdain eternity. Because it mentions cultivation as infinity without any end.

And that is true. But who doesn't want to be eternal? Unfortunately, Li Xian didn't give a single thought to these sentences. He was a swordsman. He has only one concern and that is the improvement of his swordsmanship.

Currently, he has a feeling that comes from his sword. It's like he was going to be promoted. But he suppressed it because he didn't have the luxury of time to spend inside the pagoda when he has to attend Sword School sooner.

He kept his minds checked on the Infinite Dao Scripture, reciting everything single word to condense the tree inside his heart. Currently, he could create two things. One would be his roots, and another would be the stem.

His roots would inherit his cultivation techniques while the stem will inherit Infinite Dao. For him, mediation wasn't boring. He kept meditating for few hours until the root was completed. Finally, he opened his eyes and stood up.

As for the stem, it would be created based on his practical effort. So, he needs a proper fight or training. He instantly walked out of the pagoda but suddenly his expression froze. He didn't find Ling Tan nor Luo Tang.

Instead, he found a letter on the table. He opened the letter and a smile appeared on his lips after reading it. It was Ling Tan who wrote the letter saying three of them have left. They decided to meet again after three days which was surprising.

Ling Tan also thanked him again for rescuing his parents. Surprisingly, Ling Tan spent all the money he gave to him. Of course, he explained the reason behind it. He didn't expect Ling Tan will find a suitable cultivation technique for himself in this auction.

For Li Xian, it doesn't matter too much. If money has a use, he should use it. Ling Tan mentioned that Luo Tang has left something inside the tower. Li Xian wasn't in hurry to check rather he was hurried to leave this auction house.

Kreek!

He opened the door and suddenly, his expression froze. He saw a girl standing next to his door. There was a slight dark circle around her eyes, and the tiredness was flashing in her expression. When she found the door was opened, her tiredness instantly disappeared with a bright smile.

"Young Master Li, you sure took a long time inside. I was waiting for you for a whole day and a night." The girl greeted Li Xian was a slight bow and pouted.

"Ehh! I am really sorry about it. I was busy with a certain thing that I forget about the time." Li Xian rubbed the bottom of his nose with his finger and spoke. He was getting a little ashamed. He was inside the pagoda and didn't even know anything about the time.

Not to mention, he fell unconscious after inheriting those memories. Of course, he didn't know that he was attacked by the true hegemon.

"Young Master Li, my young miss is waiting for you in her room. Please follow me!" The young girl didn't waste her time, letting out a low yawn, she walked away. Li Xian was a little confused but he still followed her.

After passing through the long corridor, both of them reached in front of a door. The young girl opened the door and asked Li Xian to enter. Li Xian entered the room after nodding his head at the young girl. But he was on his guard.

His left arm was slowly moving towards his sword. The room was huge. It was twice as big as his previous room. There was a table with few chairs at the end of the room. There were some equipments scattered on the right side while the left side was completely clean.

Li Xian's gaze fell upon the chair behind the table. A beautiful lady wearing a red dress same as the previous one. But her shoulders were openly bare. Her legs were hidden by the table but that gorgeous face couldn't be hidden.

Seeing her up this close, Li Xian gulped and walked closer. From the memories of the Hegemon, there were two kinds of women who would wear this kind of clothes. One would be a complete slut or someone who wants nothing but benefits from others.

Former would be easy to handle but later might cause some devastating problem for himself. They seduce you, take your possessions and leave you with nothing. If it's the former, then Mac might have issues.

Because from his perspective, if this much of revealing gets the title slut, then the fifty percent of women from his world would be sluts. Of course, there is a vast difference between these two worlds' women. If you can make the entire world fall for you by your gorgeous face alone, why would you reveal other things?

"Young Master Li, don't stare too much! You are making me blush." Xing'er opened her cherry mouth making a slight smile on her face.

"Young Miss Xing, how about we discuss the reason you asked me to visit you?" Li Xian straightened his waist and spoke as he walked near the chair. He pulled the chair and sat on it without asking her which was a little rude in her eyes.

"Young Master Li, you are really cold. But Xing'er likes cold men." Xing'er giggled at his straight face and continued "I was wondering if you would sell me some spiritual stones. After all, Young Master Li is the second rank Junior Swordsman, it won't be much useful for you."

"After all, there might be many thieves and bad guys who might keep their eyes on those stones. If you are not careful, you will never know when you lose everything."

Li Xian could see some threats in her words. If it was previous Li Xian, he would be surprised by her tone. But after receiving those experiences, he smirked and said "I don't think anybody would be an idiot to rob Elder Xing's disciple."

"But you aren't Uncle Xing's disciple yet." Xing'er words made Li Xian's startled. Only then he remembered they had the same surname. Up until now, he didn't even think about it.

"Young Miss Xing, I didn't expect you to be Elder Xing's niece. The world is really small. But, you forget something." Li Xian rubbed the back of his head with a slight misunderstanding and spoke.

"Oh! Did I forget something?" Xing'er jade-like hands held her chin as she tried to think.

"Young Miss Xing, you know that I am not Elder Xing's disciple yet. I know that I am not Elder Xing's disciple yet. But, robber doesn't know that I am not Elder Xing's disciple yet." Li Xian smiled and explained his logic.

"Hehe! Young Master Li, you sure know how to joke. How could a robber know whether you are Elder Xing's disciple or not? You don't expect him to believe your words, do you?" Xing'er slightly laughed at Li Xian's logic and spoke.

"Don't you know? A swordsman never lies."
