Chapter 91: Dumb Apprentice
Lin Chan has had a strange disease since she was a child. She was clearly born on the summer solstice, but her body is icy and extremely cold.
When she was ten years old, she almost didn't survive the winter.
In the deep winter of that year, heavy snow was falling in Qingling City. Lin Chan was bedridden and almost mentally ill.
Her grandfather listened to the fortune teller in the city and walked backwards outside the house in the middle of winter in the heavy snow and cold wind. With every step he took, he shouted Lin Chan's name loudly. He had to walk backwards 7,000 steps and shout 7,000 times for seven days in a row.
The fortune teller said that this is "calling the soul". Lin Chan will hold on and will not leave when she hears your call.
The old man, who was over 60 years old, walked in the snow for seven days.
Walking backwards is not easy, especially with snow on the ground. The old man fell several times and got frostbite on his body. After walking 7,000 steps, frost formed on his beard and his voice was hoarse.
Lin Chan later heard these from his neighbors.
A few months ago, when Grandpa was mentally ill, Lin Chan also imitated Grandpa and walked backwards outside the house.
But she was a mute and could not speak. With every step she took, she opened her mouth wide and desperately called out her grandfather's name in her heart.
He has a thin body and a timid and cowardly character, but he also has his own persistence and stubbornness.
She didn't just walk for seven days. She walked every day, every day, just hoping that her grandfather could be woken up.
But grandpa’s soul may not have heard it.
A useless mute.
Lu Xun glanced in the direction of Lin Chan, and seeing that she had almost buried her head in the bowl, he picked up some more dishes for her.
After Lin Chan secretly wiped away her tears with her little hands, he asked, "Little Lin Chan, can you write?"
Lin Chan, holding the bowl of rice in her little hands, raised her head slightly and nodded gently.
There was a teacher who lived next door to her house for a period of time. He taught her to read and write when she was a child, and she could basically recognize all of them.
"It's good that you can write. If you have anything to say to Master in the future, just write it down. If you have a pen and paper, write it on the paper. If not, write it in the palm of Master's hand." After saying that, he stretched out his left hand and spread it out.
Lin Chan looked down at her palm, then looked at Lu Xun who had a gentle face. After hesitating for a moment, she stretched out her small hand, slowly approached Lu Xun's big hand, and then began to write on her palm with her fingers.
What she wrote was – “Master”.
Since he had become a disciple, he had to call him Master. But the little mute couldn't speak, so he wrote on Lu Xun's palm.
The little hand stroked across my palm and it felt quite itchy.
Lu Xun had to feel it carefully before he could know what Lin Chan had written, after all, his reaction was not that fast.
When he realized that it was the word "Master", he felt inexplicably happy.
"Yeah!" He responded happily.

…
Normally, a master should show some appreciation to a new apprentice.
But Lu Xun didn't have any treasures on him now, so he asked Ji Li and Murong Yan to take Lin Chan out to buy some simple and comfortable new clothes.
When they came back, Lu Xun was surprised to find that... all three girls had changed into new clothes .
It's a normal woman's routine, and it's understandable.
Lin Chan still looked thin in her new clothes, but she looked more like a beautiful girl. But her complexion was still quite bad, and she needed to take care of it.
Once she starts practicing formally, things should get better. By then, her whole body will be full of energy and her complexion will definitely improve.
Lin Chan felt a little embarrassed to appear in front of her beautiful master wearing new clothes.
Moreover, she was used to a hard life, and she was afraid of getting such good clothes dirty when she put them on all of a sudden.
The Demon Sect actually treated outsiders like them quite well, and gave her a lot of money every month, but she had been sick since she was a child, which was very expensive, so her family still lived a tight life.
Before the formal practice, Lu Xun asked Murong Yan to cast a spell to detect Lin Chan's aptitude for practice.
One fat and one thin standing together formed a strong contrast.
Murong Yan's fat hand lightly tapped Lin Chan's brow, and nine translucent ripples spread out in the air!
This represents understanding 9!
“Comprehension 9! Sword aptitude 10!” Lu Xun couldn’t help but say in his heart: “As expected of a role model, it makes people envious just by looking at him!”
Ji Li, who traded her brain for breasts, didn't think too much about it, but Murong Yan was a little confused before: Why did the junior uncle want to take this girl as his disciple when he saw her for the first time? Could it be that he felt pity for her?
Now it all makes sense. My junior uncle-master has a keen eye and must have seen through some clues long ago, and found a good candidate for my Demon Sect!
Junior Uncle-Master is worthy of being Junior Uncle-Master!
At this moment, she didn't know that Lin Chan was a natural sword fetus. If she knew this, the expression on her fat face would definitely be very interesting.
Speaking of cultivation, Lu Xun suddenly remembered the booklet given to him by his second senior sister. It was the " Qi-Eating Art" exercise method, and it was also filled with annotations from his second senior sister when she was practicing.
I had lent this booklet to Ji Li for study before, and now she has memorized it by heart, so I returned it to Lu Xun. Now it is a good opportunity to use it again, as a gift from me, the master, to give to my mute apprentice!
Well, reuse, worthy of me.
When the little mute took the booklet, although he still lowered his head, his little face was tense and he looked a little serious.
This was the booklet that allowed her to officially step into the world of cultivation. It was also the first thing given to her by her beautiful master. It had a different meaning and she had to take it seriously.
"I don't know if I can cure my strange disease after practicing?" Lin Chan thought to himself.
It is not appropriate to teach the sword-cultivation skills to the little mute for the time being. After all, she has not formally started practicing yet. It will not be too late to teach her after returning to the back mountain.
At this moment, Lu Xun wanted to see the legendary natural sword fetus, so he asked Ji Li to teach Lin Chan a set of earthly swordsmanship. Unexpectedly, Lin Chan learned it immediately, just like a player spending experience points to learn.
Even the scabbard was very close to her, as if she had a natural affinity for swords.
"So this is the true natural sword embryo. The legendary monstrous genius turns out to be like this." A certain cheater sighed in his heart.
Lu Xun has begun to look forward to the moment when his beloved disciple climbs up the Cangshan Mountain!
"I can't get any of the swords, but my apprentice will definitely be able to get them!" Lu Xun felt that Lin Chan could help him make up for his regrets.
As for himself, he just follows the path of "man is the sword" and is content to be a swordless person.
Compared with the "real sword embryo", this "fake sword embryo" who is the sword itself and looks extremely good, let's call him the "seductive sword goods".
