Chapter 24

"Lu Xuan, you are truly a prodigy of heaven!" Xia Chenxi exclaimed, praising him without reservation. "May I ask who your teacher is?"

Teacher? Lu Xuan was slightly taken aback, but then he understood. Clearly, Xia Chenxi believed that he must have a very powerful teacher to have reached such a level.

Speaking of which, Lu Xuan's teacher was indeed incredibly powerful and mysterious. The sword crystal, up until now, Lu Xuan still had no idea about its origin.

Seeing that Lu Xuan had not answered for a long time, Xia Chenxi thought that Lu Xuan did not want to say and then smiled apologetically: "I was a bit abrupt, Chenxi. The ancient enchantment technique, was it taught to you by your teacher?"

Ancient enchantment technique? Lu Xuan heard a new term. Could it be that his technique was the ancient enchantment technique, which is why it was different from the enchantment techniques used by current enchanters, allowing him to use pure beast blood to draw enchantment scrolls?

Without much thought, Lu Xuan followed Xia Chenxi's words and replied, "Yes, my enchantment technique was indeed taught by it. However, what is this ancient enchantment technique?"

This time, it was Xia Chenxi's turn to be puzzled, and she asked in return, "Didn't your teacher tell you?"

Lu Xuan thought to himself, I wish it would tell me, but unfortunately, it can't speak. So he shook his head.

"The ancient enchantment technique has been lost for a long time. It is said that the enchantment techniques we use now evolved from the ancient enchantment technique. Even many current enchanters don't know about the existence of the ancient enchantment technique. I only learned about it by chance when I was flipping through an old book at the Enchanter's Guild," Xia Chenxi explained slowly.

"The most significant feature of the ancient enchantment technique is the ability to use beast blood directly to draw enchantment scrolls without using specially prepared potions. As is well known, using potions to mix can neutralize the potion's properties, making the drawing process easier, but it also destroys the potion's properties, preventing them from being fully utilized."

"However, the ancient enchantment technique can use beast blood directly, making the drawn enchantment scrolls far more effective than those drawn using current enchantment techniques."

Xia Chenxi picked up the successfully enchanted yearning sword from beside Lu Xuan, waved it a couple of times, and said, "It's the same with the frenzy rune. I'm sure your frenzy rune can cause a higher critical hit rate than the average one! Similarly, the power rune and others are the same. The power rune drawn using the ancient enchantment technique can significantly enhance the weapon's attack power, far more than a regular power rune."

Hearing this, Lu Xuan's face showed increasing joy. He never expected that anything the sword crystal produced would be extraordinary. Even the enchantment technique was the ancient enchantment technique. This meant that the sword crystal was at least from the ancient era?

Just as Lu Xuan was excited, Xia Chenxi poured cold water on him, "However, a man without sin is not to be blamed, but a man with a precious gem is. If people knew you could use the ancient enchantment technique, you can imagine the outcome... That's why I'm surprised your master didn't warn you about this."

Lu Xuan smiled awkwardly. It seemed that Xia Chenxi was convinced he had a master. But then, Lu Xuan thought, this was actually good. His recent changes were too drastic, not only in his rapidly improving strength but also in learning the enchantment technique. If he had a "master," it would be reasonable, and everything could be attributed to the "master." Perhaps, when others had ideas, they would have more reservations.

"He didn't tell me. I guess, with his strength, he doesn't fear anything like 'a man with a precious gem.' However, I do thank Miss Chenxi for the reminder. If someone with ill intentions found out, it could indeed be troublesome," Lu Xuan began to bluff.

"What level is your master?" Xia Chenxi asked curiously.

"Uh... I'm not sure. My master said he was traveling the world and just happened to pass by here, staying for a while."

"Traveling the world, so he must be a great martial artist. This is your good fortune," Xia Chenxi said with a hint of envy. Although she was born into a distinguished family, good fortune was unrelated to birth, especially since she herself was an enchanter. She naturally yearned for the ancient enchantment technique. Now that Lu Xuan had a "master" who could teach him the ancient enchantment technique, she couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

"Lu Xuan, although you can use beast blood directly to draw enchantment scrolls, I suggest that if you are selling them, it's best to use specially prepared potions. This way, even if your technique is different, others might not notice," Xia Chenxi advised again.

"Sure, I'll be careful. I hope Miss Chenxi can keep this a secret. If there's anything I can do for you in the future, I will do my best," Lu Xuan said. Since Xia Chenxi chose to talk to him privately, she wouldn't easily reveal it. Moreover, Lu Xuan had a natural trust in her.

"Of course, but Chenxi has a request..." Xia Chenxi said somewhat embarrassedly, "I've been studying the frenzy rune recently, but I haven't succeeded. I hope Lu Xuan can give me some guidance."

Although she yearned to learn the ancient enchantment technique, she knew it couldn't be taught casually, let alone with Lu Xuan having a powerful "master" nearby. She just wanted Lu Xuan to give her some pointers.

For Xia Chenxi's request, Lu Xuan naturally agreed wholeheartedly. This was a piece of cake for him. The ancient enchantment technique was his, and he could teach anyone he wanted. Given Xia Chenxi and Lin Xinyi's kindness to him, he would definitely agree to this.

Upon receiving Lu Xuan's agreement, Xia Chenxi was overjoyed. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and Lu Xuan noticed that Xia Chenxi's previously empty hand now held a high-level blank scroll and a bottle of enchantment potion!

Seeing Lu Xuan's surprised look, Xia Chenxi smiled and extended her jade-like hand in front of Lu Xuan, wiggling her finger with a ring on it and said, "This is a storage ring. It has its own space inside. It was a gift from my father on my tenth birthday, and it's very convenient."

Lu Xuan naturally praised it, amazed by such a magical item. He wondered when he could get one, but he knew it would be extremely valuable.

After setting up the blank scroll, Xia Chenxi prepared to draw the frenzy rune. Before starting, she turned her head and said, "Lu Xuan, watch me first. I always fail, so see where I go wrong and point it out to me."

Lu Xuan nodded. Xia Chenxi then took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and extended her delicate fingers, using her essence energy to draw a bit of the potion and began to draw.

As Xia Chenxi started, even with her beauty before him, Lu Xuan's attention immediately focused on the blank scroll. He was entrusted with a task, and Xia Chenxi wasn't there for him to watch her but to guide her.
