Rebirth of MC Chapter 197

“A celestial sword… Yin Liuying…" listening to Long Zhanye's words, madam Ming's eyes widened. Never expected that the reason of this broken sword would be that shocking. She gasped, but with difficulty she found her voice again: "Then… what's the relationship between this broken sword and my son?"

Long Zhanye looked at madam Ming and then at the child in her bosom: "Your birth's day has been very hard, almost losing two lives. This broken sword suddenly appeared, you and your child absorbed the remaining Spiritual qi, which protected the heart and veins. Only in this way the child was born. Pity that this sword was already broken. The sword's qi saved you and your child's lives, thus half of his soul is in a sleeping state. That's why he would show up a dull expression"

"Then… then what to do!, benefactor, you are so knowledgeable, please save my child!" madam Ming stopped talking, dropped on her kneels on the ground and then deeply knocked her head before Long Zhanye.

"This isn't a difficult task neither an easy one" Long Zhanye softly sighed. He combined his fingers to draw, an Isolating Boundary instantly emerged. Facing Huo Zaiyuan he said: "Little Yuan, take that sword case and a Spiritual Resin stone out"

"È, okay" Huo Zaiyuan nodded and waved his arm over the table. An exquisite sword case and a piece of golden shiny Spiritual Resin stone appeared on the table.

Long Zhanye put the broken sword and the Spiritual Resin in the case and closed the case. He waved his hand and a hoard jade pendant appeared within it. He took the case inside the jade pendant and handed it over to madam Ming: "Wear this jade pendant on the child's body. Remember, never take it off"

"Yes" she gratefully accepted the jade pendant and impatiently tied it on her child's body.

When the jade pendant got in contact with the body, the previous dull expression of the baby suddenly showed a clear laugh. Madam Ming was extremely happy!: "My child!… yes!, he can finally laugh!"

"Madam, this won't be a long-time solution. To completely settle your son's problem, you must find the other half of that sword. Only by repairing the broken sword, your son will return to normal. The stone's energy is enough to comfort your son's dormant soul, but the day when the Spiritual qi will be used up will eventually come… I don't need to explain myself"

Madam Ming listened to Long Zhanye's words. Her smile gradually vanished. She bit her lip while looking at her child in the bosom: "I know, no matter how much big the price, I will find the other half of the broken sword… it's just that… I don't know how it looks"

"Take out paper and ink. I will draw it for you"

After madam Ming has called someone to take in paper and ink, Long Zhanye started to paint with the black ink. After wasting his gong fu {kung fu}, he finally finished. When Huo Zaiyuan and madam Ming got closer to that painting, their expressions stiffened.

"This… dear guest… this drawing…"

"What? Are there any problems?" Long Zhanye raised his face and looked at madam Ming with a reluctant expression.

"È… that, no…" looking at Long Zhanye, madam Ming swallowed back in her stomach the words she was going to blurt out.

"Zhanye, you… are you sure that what you drew is… a sword?" Huo Zaiyuan weakly asked while staring at those curved black strokes on the paper. His mouth twitched.

"…" if someone else was the one saying it, Long Zhanye would definitely become mad and break their bones into ashes without the slightest hesitation. But right now the problem was that he {Hzy} was his most treasured person. Let alone putting a face, he wouldn't bear to talk loudly/raise his voice.

"It's better if I do it… describe me how this sword looks like" softly laughing, Huo Zaiyuan took the brush from Long Zhanye's hand.

Madam Ming asked a servant to bring another piece of paper. Long Zhanye described Liu Ying Sword's appearance. Huo Zaiyuan started to paint one stroke after another, he very quickly drew a lifelike sword on the paper.

"Exactly like this" Long Zhanye nodded with satisfaction while looking at the picture and then placed his hand on Huo Zaiyuan's shoulder: "Truly awesome, absolutely perfect"

Madam Ming received the paper from Long Zhanye, looked at it and then nodded: "Thanks dear guests, I will dispatch people to find it"

"Madam Ming is too polite. It's late now, we are leaving"

After the two waved at madam Ming and left the Ming household, they walked on the main street. Huo Zaiyuan turned his face to look at Long Zhanye. His eyes were opened wide. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

"You want to ask me about that sword and child's matter, right?" experiencing three lives, Long Zhanye understood Huo Zaiyuan more than anyone else. From his {Hzy} eyes and action, he {Lzy} already knew the other one's thoughts. Looking at his black eyes blinking, he understood what he wanted to ask.

"En… that child was already dead during the difficult birth… he is still alive because of that broken sword which attached to his soul… because of the broken sword, the soul decreased by half, causing the child to become dull. And you want that madam to look for the other half of the broken sword to find his other half soul" Huo Zaiyuan softly said, pursing his lips up: "And the Taoist of the sword, should be the past me… right? Because when I was painting, there was an impression from the recess of my memories, although very dim"

"Correct, that was your or the past Tianqi's sword, and the soul of your sword is your disciple Yin Liuying. The most powerful Liuying Sword cast by a great master in the Cultivation Boundary, and the materials used were: the most hard stones of the Dragon Clan and your disciple flesh" Long Zhanye explained and then rubbed Huo Zaiyuan's hair: "From a little devil to a sword soul, you always felt remorse and blamed yourself, now he unexpectedly became a person, isn't it good?"

"Although I don't remember the past, but when I saw that baby, there was an unspeakable feeling in my heart… regarding this, I think I am happy" Huo Zaiyuan smiled: "Zhanye, we are going to search for the other half of the sword for madam Ming, right?"

"Without a doubt, although that little devil provoked me and I loathe him, but he is your disciple"

Looking at Long Zhanye nodding his head in agreement without hesitating, Huo Zaiyuan's heart was happy and moved. His face reddened and leading him by hand: "Being able to stay with you is really good…"

Having a person like you, what else can ask for? {note1}

{note1: this is a saying 得君如此，夫复何求}

Because it was too early, the two people didn't intend to return in the guest house and confront Lu Rong and Xu Ruoming. Thus, after stopping in a noddles booth, they went to Groceries Market next door.

Why was it called 'Groceries Market'? Because in this market everything could be bought, there was any kind of stuff, therefore this market would attract a lot of customers.

Although Long Zhanye was very familiar with the Cultivation Boundary, but before he met Tianqi, he only liked to destroy. He didn't spare a glance at this small market in a small alley. Afterwards he fell in love with Tianqi. Giving their special status, he couldn't wander around as he wished, therefore this Groceries Market was something new for him.

Not only there were a lot of shops in the Groceries Market, but there were even more small cultivator's stalls selling Spiritual Grass, cinnabar medicine, spars, weapons… on the street. The number couldn't be counted. The two people would travel back and forth between the stalls. In fact they found many new and strange things.

"Zhanye, next time we set off, let's come here too" scooping out many small toys, Huo Zaiyuan's mood was very good.

Leaving the Taoist Sect was unforeseen. But after stepping in the Taoist Sect again, he was afraid that what was awaiting him was the real 'Spiritual silent period', when he could leave the Taoist Sect for practice {note2}.

{note2: eh… 这次离开道门是个意外，当他再次踏入道门之后，怕是等他真正的"灵寂期"满，可以离开道门修炼的时候了。}

"Wherever you, I will always stay with you" Long Zhanye gently laughed. He combed his scattered hair.

The two continued to stroll in the market. When they prepared to leave, Long Zhanye's step abruptly stopped. Huo Zaiyuan didn't know why so he followed his gaze. He raised his eyebrow and saw a muddy and stained… incense burner?

"Zhanye, what's the matter?" that dirty incense burner… it seemed like it didn't have anything appealing?

"Be good and wait for me" Long Zhanye patted his {Hzy} back and then squatted down to ask the stall vendor: "How much does the incense burner cost?"

When trading cultivators didn't use money, but Spiritual Spars. For example, regarding a cultivator, 5 Spiritual Spars was the same as 5 coins — — extremely convenient.

After Long Zhanye handed 5 Spiritual Spars over to the stall vendor, took the incense burner and then they left.

Things that made Long Zhanye interested were a few, Huo Zaiyuan couldn't help but be curious when he saw him buying a dirty and muddy incense burner. Could it be that that muddy incense burner was a treasure? Very curious ó…

The two returned in the guest house and closed the door. Long Zhanye dragged Huo Zaiyuan in the space. When he was cleaning the muddy incense burner, restoring it to its original form, Long Zhanye smiled: "Little Yuan, we cleaned a treasure!"
