Extraordinary in Reality Through Magic Games

162: Chapter 160 Pay close attention, this is how the Moonlit Sword is used.Early the next morning.

The morning sun peeked out from behind the distant mountains, its soft golden light falling gently upon Luo Xiling’s face.

Her eyelids twitched a few times before she slowly opened her eyes.

”Ha—” Covering her mouth with her hand, she stood up from the blanket and yawned toward the light on the small mountaintop platform.

Feeling a bit more awake, she pulled out her phone. ”Seven-thirty. Why hasn’t Master arrived yet?

Uh, could he have regretted taking me as a disciple?”

Awakened by her movement, Zhao Qi, who had also spent the night on a blanket a few steps away, stood up. ”What, are you scared?”

”What do I have to be afraid of? Hmph.” Luo Xiling crouched down and picked up the moon bright sword and the porcelain bottle from her blanket. ”Even if Master doesn’t want me anymore, this apprenticeship gift is more than enough. Do you have one?”

Zhao Qi, who had once been swindled by a bastard Taoist and a bald monk, felt a bit stung. With a dark expression, he turned away and called Yue Ruo, telling her to come pick him up immediately.

Seeing this, Luo Xiling looked at him smugly through her nose. ”And you say you’ve known Master for a long time? You don’t have a single thing to show for it. Do you have anything?”

”Don’t go too far!” Zhao Qi’s hand trembled with anger as he pointed at her. ”Watch out, or I’ll report you to Immortal Xu!”

”What matter requires reporting to Xu?”

The voice rang out abruptly. Facing each other, the two instinctively looked toward Zhao Qi’s left side.

Immortal Xu stood with his hands behind his back, staring at them with a look of confusion.

”Master!” Luo Xiling’s tears started flowing as she ran toward him with open arms.

”Stand still.”

”Oh.”

Stopping her, Xu looked at Zhao Qi. ”Why have you come here?”

”It’s like this, Immortal Xu. The video of you taking a disciple yesterday has been circulating online. After the Director saw it, he asked me to bring her back for a visit.

It’s not about detention or forcing her to join the Special Investigation Bureau.

As you know, the public’s current perception of immortals is generally false.

We’re thinking of revealing things to the public step by step, so...”

”I understand.” Xu smiled. ”Since you’re here, join us.”

Join? Join what?

Without waiting for him to say more, Xu turned to ask Luo Xiling, ”Have you taken the Crystal Jade?”

Hearing her master’s question, she immediately raised her head. ”Not yet.

Master didn’t tell me how to use the Crystal Jade yesterday. Do I drink it directly, bathe in it, or something else?”

What a strange train of thought.

Zhang Mu, who was using the Transformation Technique, sucked in a breath of cold air and deeply reflected on whether his decision to take a disciple yesterday had been too impulsive.

This girl didn’t seem very bright.

But the gift had been given and the person accepted; it was too late for regrets.

Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Xu said, ”Take it orally.”

”Drink it now?”

”Yes.”

Receiving the instruction, Luo Xiling tucked the moon bright sword under her arm, pulled out the cork, and tilted her head back to chug it down.

There wasn’t much liquid, and it all flowed into her stomach in a few seconds.

After finishing, Luo Xiling smacked her lips. ”Master, didn’t you say the Hour of the Tiger? Why did you only arrive at nearly eight o’clock?”

”I slept in a bit today.”

Slept in?

She was dumbfounded. She had thought some urgent emergency had occurred, but it was just this?

Hiss...

Just as she was about to complain, a sudden heat surged within her body, making her head spin.

”Mas—”

”Sit down.”

The panicked Luo Xiling immediately felt at ease upon hearing her master’s voice and obediently sat down cross-legged.

Her dazed consciousness couldn’t help but wonder if she should be circulating her power now.

But I don’t know how?

”Immortal Xu.” Zhao Qi walked over to Xu’s side. ”She’s...”

”The Crystal Jade can shed one’s mortal body and exchange one’s bones. Her unusual state is the medicinal effect taking hold.”

Catching the keyword, Zhao Qi’s heart immediately surged. Remolding the Body...

”Cough... so, could I...”

”Hmm?” He stammered for a long time without finishing. Xu turned to look at him, confusion in his eyes.

”It’s nothing, nothing.”

Scratching the back of his head with a forced smile, Zhao Qi dropped the subject.

Having calmed down, he secretly patted his chest in lingering fear.

An apprenticeship gift personally given by Immortal Xu was likely precious even among Cultivators.

I actually tried to ask for one... Luckily I didn’t finish...

Once his racing heart gradually calmed, he looked curiously at the cross-legged Luo Xiling.

Novels and TV shows always talked about Remolding the Body; he finally had a chance to witness it.

With that thought, his eyes widened, staring without blinking.

At this moment, Luo Xiling’s entire being began to change.

It wasn’t like the rumors where one’s body would be covered in black, viscous substances.

Her skin simply became gradually fair and smooth, and her hair grew even darker.

An hour passed. When she stood up and opened her eyes, no tangible flashes of light shot out from them.

Zhao Qi scanned her up and down, muttering to himself, ”She doesn’t look like much?”

Luo Xiling was naturally unaware of his inner thoughts. She picked up the moon bright sword from the ground and skipped over to Xu’s side.

”Master, I feel like I’ve become a total badass!”

A rather familiar little girl. Xu didn’t mind her crude language. ”Draw your sword.”

”I can’t draw it.” She made a bitter face. ”I tried yesterday, and look, that investigator tried too, but there was no reaction.”

Xu chuckled twice. ”Didn’t you say you’ve become a badass?”

Stunned for a moment, the recovered Luo Xiling was a bit surprised.

Her immortal master didn’t seem as detached from the world as she had imagined. Instead, he was quite down-to-earth.

The sense of distance shortened. Feeling much more relaxed, she grinned foolishly and gripped the hilt with force.

”Shring—”

The three-foot blade was drawn from its scabbard, and she held it before her eyes to inspect it.

The blade was straight and as clear as crystal, with what seemed like flowing pale green water inside.

”What a cool sword!” Luo Xiling’s eyes really seemed to light up this time.

”Master, is it powerful?”

”A sword with a name is extraordinary.”

She gripped the hilt and swung it a few times in the air, but seeing no miraculous phenomena, she stopped. ”It seems...”

”You dummy... are you stupid?” Zhao Qi, who was staring at the moon bright sword from the side, couldn’t help himself. ”Whether a sword is powerful depends on who uses it.

Is a handgun useful if you give it to a three-year-old?”

”Oh, that’s true!”

Luo Xiling trotted over to Xu. ”Master, Master, can you show me how to use it?”

As if worried he would refuse, she added, ”Give me some motivation so your disciple will work even harder at cultivation in the future!”

”Only this once.”

”Yay!” Luo Xiling hopped up, handed the sword to her master, and then pulled her phone out of her pocket, tapping at it.

The screen lit up, and she looked up. ”Can I start a livestream?”

Zhao Qi opened his mouth to speak but remembered Immortal Xu was right there. He couldn’t make decisions for the immortal, so he kept his mouth shut.

”You may.”

Hearing this, the girl happily opened her livestream. ”Guys, come see something really good!”

Having said that, she turned her phone sideways and aimed it at her master.

Xu shook his head with a chuckle and turned toward the edge of the platform. His right hand, holding the moon bright sword, slanted toward his left shoulder. ”Watch closely, disciple. This is how the moon bright sword is used.”

As he spoke, the transparent blade suddenly emitted a blinding green light, forcing Zhao Qi and Luo Xiling to instinctively shut their eyes.

Realizing Immortal Xu was about to show his divine power, they forced their eyes open just a crack.

Through their narrowed vision, the two saw the right hand slanted at his left shoulder swing down. The moon bright sword shot out a crescent-shaped green sword qi, hurtling diagonally toward the mountain below.
