Chapter 1338: Chapter 1358: Sincerity? Useless_1

Su Wu had finished picking up all the bamboo leaves before he brought the bamboo branches together and began binding them with vines.

It was obvious that he had made countless brooms before, his movements were incredibly proficient. They weren’t particularly fast, but there was an elegant fluidity to them. It was as if what he was making wasn’t just a broom, but a remarkable piece of craftsmanship.

In no time, a sturdy, elegant, and durable big broom was ready.

Su Wu stood up, looked at the broom a few times, nodded in satisfaction, and then used it to sweep all the leaves he had picked into the courtyard.

Returning to the house, Su Wu leaned the broom against the wall and finally rested his eyes on Lin Chen, examining him up and down.

"You’re not from the Baihe Immortal Sect?"

Lin Chen gave a polite bow: "Hello, Master Su. I am Lin Chen from the Barren Wilderness. Currently, I am merely a guest at the Baihe Immortal Sect, not a member."

"Barren Wilderness?"

Su Wu looked slightly surprised and dusted off his hands: "Are you here for the Heavenly Sword?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "For the past three months, I have been studying in the Book Collection Pavilion. Now that I’ve finished studying, I came to pay my respects to Master Su and learn more about his legendary deeds."

Su Wu remained indifferent: "This is just a desolate mountain, all is not what it used to be. There’s nothing to see."

Having said this, Su Wu no longer paid any mind to Lin Chen, he turned around and entered the house.

Lin Chen gave a polite bow and asked, "Master Su, may I look around?"

Su Wu halted, his voice cold as he threw two words at Lin Chen: "Sure."

Lin Chen thanked him politely: "Thank you, Master Su."

Although Su Wu was cold, Lin Chen didn’t mind. He even thought it was normal.

It is incredible that someone lived alone in these mountains for thousands of years without going insane. If he’s a bit cold and aloof, that’s hardly a problem.

Moreover, Lin Chen isn’t even a member of the Baihe Immortal Sect, and he showed up without an invitation. Why should Su Wu be polite to him?

After obtaining Su Wu’s permission, Lin Chen began to wander around the barren mountain peak.

He wandered for two to three hours.

He visited all the possible places and felt nothing special.

Lin Chen wasn’t disappointed at all.

In thousands of years, countless chosen ones and powerhouses came here seeking legacies but none were successful. If he were to find it just by taking a stroll, that would be bizarre.

It was now afternoon. Lin Chen returned to the front of the wooden house, did not waste any words, bowed towards the house, left some prepared gifts, and then turned around and left the mountain.

He still chose to go by foot.

This round trip up and down the mountain, along with the leisure time spent walking around the mountain, took up the whole day.

Without any gains.

In the following days, Lin Chen made a daily trip up the mountain, stayed for about an hour, and then returned downhill, occasionally presenting Su Wu with treats like fine wine and spiritual fruits.

"It won’t help giving me things, I am only a sword servant, of limited talent, and I do not know the Heavenly Sword. I’ve been here for thousands of years, and I still don’t know where their legacy lies..."

Lin Chen replied with a laugh: "I know, I don’t send you these things to learn from you or to get guidance. It’s just because I disturbed you uninvitedly and this is my way of apologizing."

Su Wu didn’t say much: "Up to you. No matter what, they’ve turned over every stone on this mountain, dig around all you want."

Lin Chen looked at the immaculately clean, dark stone stairs and smiled: "Thank you, Master Su."

Su Wu noticed where Lin Chen’s gaze had landed, and his eyes slightly squinted: "Others fly up, why do you choose to walk? You think it makes you seem more sincere? There’s only me on this mountain, no matter how sincere you are, it’s useless. As I’ve said, I don’t know the Heavenly Sword. Even if I appreciate you, I can’t help you."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "First, it’s out of respect for the two masters. Secondly, I am not preparing for cultivation right now, it’s just like a workout, to promote circulation and exercise my body."

Lin Chen hadn’t cultivated, partly because he was calming his heart, feeling that he could take it easy. On the other hand, the Seed of Abnormality was absorbing nutrients every day, making Lin Chen’s heart uneasy. It was obviously not suitable for cultivation under these circumstances.

Climbing the mountain was barely any exertion for Lin Chen, who possessed the Immortal Physique. However, it could promote blood circulation to a certain extent and divert his attention. Besides, Lin Chen felt comfortable walking on the long, black stone stairs, though he wasn’t sure if it was an illusion.

Before the full integration of the Seed of Abnormality, Lin Chen planned to live like this.

Relaxed, content, and nurturing.

As for dwelling in the Baihe Immortal Sect, Lin Chen would naturally keep this favor in mind.

A month flew by in the blink of an eye. Every day, Lin Chen would climb up the mountain and chat with Su Wu for a while.

Su Wu’s attitude had changed quite a bit, from ignoring Lin Chen at first, to speaking a few lukewarm words, then to chatting casually.

One day, as was his routine, Lin Chen wandered around the mountain. Seeing that it was about time to leave, he prepared to go downhill.

Suddenly, Su Wu spoke up: "Aren’t you tired from climbing up and down every day? There is an empty house here. If you wish, you can stay here to have more time to look around..."

Lin Chen was surprised: "Even though I’m not a sect disciple, I can stay on the Heavenly Sword Peak?"
