My Profession Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 21: Chapter 11: Unity of Man and Sword!

As the Cyan Glaze Sword gently trembled, clear and melodious sound waves rippled outward like water over the surroundings.

He was the sword, and the sword was him. As the sound waves of the Cyan Glaze Sword spread, Jiang Xuan’s Divine Sense unfurled in all directions, riding along the ripples.

Although the world perceived through the sound waves remained blurry, the area it covered extended far beyond the reach of his own Divine Soul. What made Jiang Xuan’s heart tremble even more was that, as Level Three Spiritual Materials, Clear Sound Bamboo naturally attracted specific types of Spiritual Qi.

As Jiang Xuan’s consciousness expanded along with the Melody of the Clear Sound Bamboo, emanating a faint desire to become whole, the emerald Spiritual Qi drifting in the air actively gathered toward the Cyan Glaze Sword in his hand like birds returning to their nest.

A portion of this Spiritual Qi was absorbed by the body of the Cyan Glaze Sword, nourishing the inherent essence of the Spiritual Materials that had lain dormant for many years. The rest, guided by the bond of the Unity of Man and Sword, continuously flowed into Jiang Xuan’s body in slender threads.

"Exhale... inhale..."

Warm and pure Spiritual Qi flowed through his limbs and bones. Jiang Xuan felt every pore on his body open up, so comfortable he almost sighed aloud.

"Jiang Xuan, it’s time for morning classes."

Before he could fully immerse himself in this wonderful state, his mother’s soft call came from outside the door. Hearing her voice, Jiang Xuan could only open his eyes in helpless resignation. However, he didn’t feel annoyed by the interruption.

"The Unity of Man and Sword is never a fleeting encounter for me; it is the norm. From now on, I can enter this realm anytime, anywhere!" Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan tightly gripped the Cyan Glaze Sword in his hand, his heart filled with excitement.

"Choosing to become a Clear Heart Swordsman was indeed the right decision! This profession is just too strong!"

In truth, there was an element of luck in Jiang Xuan’s current gains. If Jiang Quan hadn’t left behind the Qingyin Bamboo Sword, and if his predecessor hadn’t preserved the Bamboo Sword for its sentimental value, Jiang Xuan’s starting point wouldn’t have been this smooth. Furthermore, without the consecration from the Three Great Spells of the Daoist Acolyte profession, Cyan Glaze wouldn’t have regained its Vitality. And lastly, it was the passive abilities of the Clear Heart Swordsman taking effect.

"But this was also inevitable. Even without Cyan Glaze, I would only have a slower start. Once I find a sword that suits my Heart in the future, I can still harmonize with it, achieve the Unity of Man and Sword, and cultivate by borrowing its Sword Power.

"Of course, the current situation is for the best. With Cyan Glaze helping my cultivation, getting an excellent Evaluation in three days will no longer be an extravagant hope for me."

His fondness for Cyan Glaze made Jiang Xuan carry the sword with him even while eating. Moreover, because the excellent Evaluation was finally within reach, he now had the qualifications to compete on the same stage as the Noble Family’s Descendants and the Nobles from the Lower Classes. This lifted some of the heavy burden from Jiang Xuan’s shoulders, making him exude the relief and high spirits of a person who had cast off their shackles.

His completely different demeanor was naturally noticed by his mother, who was always worrying about him. Seeing his relaxed state, the sorrowful creases between Shen Yuerong’s brows also smoothed out considerably.

"Here, these are the pastries Aunt Liu brought for you. Eat some on your way and save the rest for lunch."

"I know, Mother."

Jiang Xuan didn’t stand on ceremony; right now, he truly needed to make every second count. Taking the pastries, a water skin, and the Cyan Glaze Sword that never left his side, Jiang Xuan hurried toward the training grounds of the Chen Daoist School.

Just like yesterday, upon reaching halfway up the mountain, Jiang Xuan found a secluded spot. Only this time, he was even further away from the crowd, almost at the edge of the square, right next to the adjacent grove of trees.

Cyan Glaze was forged from Clear Sound Bamboo, possessing the wood Attribute, making its absorption efficiency of wood-Attribute Spiritual Qi unparalleled among its peers. Since Jiang Xuan wanted to cultivate by borrowing Cyan Glaze’s power, he naturally needed to be closer to these trees that were brimming with Spiritual Qi.

Although he sat in a secluded spot, because of what happened yesterday, quite a few people still noticed him and secretly glanced his way. Naturally, this included Dong Hao.

Having received strict family teachings, he didn’t care about momentary gains or losses, nor did he even mind whether Jiang Xuan could repay him or not. But this was, after all, an investment. As an investor, and with Jiang Xuan sitting not too far away, he would naturally steal a few more glances at him under such circumstances.

And with this look, his eyes abruptly widened, and his hands, tucked inside his sleeves, suddenly clenched tight.

"Is this... the Unity of Man and Sword?!"
