《The One and Only》16. You Left while I Stayed, Two Completely Different Worlds

Flower Burial?
The wood sword became heavier and bore spirit, which was already strange enough. And now the vague inscription also became clear.
Holding the wood sword in his hand and looking at the sword body like a slim woman, Lin Yun lost in his thoughts.
First, it became heavier. Although it was quite heavy, it was no more than 5 kilos.
Now with the sword in his hand, he found it hard to wave it without using his inner power.
Another thing was its spirit. Only with one glance, one could tell it wasn’t ordinary quality.
Lin Yun plucked a hair, and watched it fall onto the edge of the sword. Without any external force, the hair was cut into two halves!
This was unbelievable!
There was kind of astonishment in Lin Yun’s eyes. He never expected the useless wood sword would have had such great changes.
The old master had been used a sword all the time. So he was clear that the Flower Burial Sword in his hand was no worse than any magical weapons of any inner disciple.
But what made it transformed?
Lin Yun was eager to know the answer. The first day he obtained this sword, he had known that it was not an ordinary weapon.
Any sword made from wood should be a quality one. But after such a long time, it had lost its spirit and turned from a powerful sword to an ordinary one.
If he could discover the answer, it meant he could revive its old glory through maintaining it.
“What’s going on? Why do I feel something is not right?”
Lin Yun looked around, looking a little confused, with his eyebrows knitted.
The fragrance!
With his eyes stretched, Lin Yun sniffed slightly and found that there had been no fragrance here before.
The whole Flower Valley was covered with all kinds of flowers, so one could smell the fragrance anywhere.
“Does it mean this sword needs the fragrance of flowers to maintain?”
Lin Yun faintly felt that he got hold of the key problem.
While he was meditating, a touch of mysterious sword light flashed without him noticing.
Suddenly he heard some sound.
Along with the sound, some glittering ancient words flew out of the sword.
“I had drifted like the duckweed for half of my life, the ruthless cold rain buried all the flowers overnight. Have the souls of those flowers turned into the catkins? You left while I stayed, two different worlds.”
Rustle!
While he was still lost in those words, they gradually disappeared with the wind. All flowers on the ground were dancing like they were reborn, and the fragrance became thicker.
“This is…”
Lin Yun was a little stunned. After a moment, he murmured, “The power of this sword is even higher than I expected.”

When he held the sword with his hand again, he felt that his arm became much more powerful.
The feeling of unfamiliarity and rejection was totally gone.
“With this sword, it would be a piece of cake to kill that Bloody Flame Snake!”
He was forced to abandon the sword just because it could not crack the scales of the Bloody Flame Snake. But now with the Flower Burial Sword in his hand, Lin Yun felt much more confident.
The Flower Burial Sword was no worse than any magical weapon of those inner disciples, improving his power by 50% at least.
A few minutes later,
Lin Yun arrived at the place where the Bloody Lily was at, looking quite calm.
The shaking “giant rock” finally showed itself-the Bloody Flame Snake.
The Bloody Flame Snake glared at Lin Yun, with kind of mockery in its eyes, “It’s you again.” The human practitioner who was chased away by it now came back again.
The snake hissed, looking at him defiantly.
Lin Yun was astonished, because he never expected that the evil beast could be so smart.
“It’s all right. Since it underestimates me, it can save me a lot of time.”
Gather Water to Form Streams, Flowing like Wind!
As swift as a rabbit, he sprang to his feet, like the spindrifts splashing out of the water. His Flowing Wind Swordplay was like the flowing streams, totally conforming to the flowers and breeze in the valley.
In an instant, a shadow disappeared right before the Bloody Flame Snake.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
With the sword chopping down, dreadful sword traces were left on the body of the Bloody Flame Snake, with its skins split and blood splashed.
With the hiss, the Bloody Flame Snake who had been mocking Lin Yun now was rolling on the ground, whining.
The indescribable pains stimulated the striking potential of the Bloody Flame Snake. Covered with rampant evil spirit, it opened its giant mouth and jumped onto Lin Yun like the lightening.
“Perfect timing!”
Lin Yun looked concentrated. This blow of the Bloody Flame Snake was like a thunder. He would be dead meat if he got hit.
But its vital part also got completely exposed to him.
Swords Rotating to Form Winds.
One of the three lethal moves of the Flowing Wind Swordplay was displayed by Lin Yun proficiently.
With the palm against the hilt, and the point against the ground, the Flower Burial Sword began rotating fast in Lin Yun’s hand.
The strong inner power he condensed with his Pure Yang martial arts inside his body was pouring into the rotating sword continuously.
Before the Bloody Flame Snake got close to him, Lin Yun suddenly raised the rotating Flower Burial Sword.
Swoosh!
In the instant he raised the sword, he turned around and avoided the Bloody Flame Snake. Then he turned around and pricked its vital part –the blood line on the back of the Bloody Flame Snake.

Bang!
The inner power transferred into the sword completely burst out, along with Lin Yun’s fury.
Click!
He hit the vital part with all his strength, and completely cut it into halves.
After Lin Yun landed, he looked back, finding that the evil beast Bloody Flame Snake was cut into halves, absolutely dead.
Seckill!
This was the real lethality of the Flowing Wind Swordplay. Since the sword had not been sharp enough, he could have done nothing with the snake.
Lin Yun put away his sword and looked at the Bloody Flame Snake who made him suffer indifferently.
He walked forward to check it out and found there was no Internal Elixir.
What a pity! It seemed it was really not easy to obtain the Internal Elixir of an evil beast.
Each part of the Bloody Flame Snake was valuable, pity that he couldn’t take it away since it was too huge.
Lin Yun only took the snake gall, the blood line on its back, and two fangs.
As for the rest, he could only give up.
It was really a pity, since every part of the evil beast was quite valuable. But only the snake gall, the fangs and the blood line were already a big harvest for him.
The most important thing was…he got the Blood Lilies!
“No one can take away what belongs to me.”
With a smile on his face, Lin Yun moved forward and put the Blood Lily for the spiritual stone task into the box.
He didn’t leave immediately, but looked around the living environment of the Blood Lily.
He dared not miss every detail.
And referring to these details, he could easily find more Blood Lilies.
As expected, in the next few days, Lin Yun found six more Blood Lilies easily.
As for those Bloody Flame Snakes guarding the Blood Lilies all died under his sword, and all the important parts were also taken away.
The reason everything went so smoothly all owed to his exploration of the Flower Valley patiently at first.
But everything changed when he found the tenth Blood Lily.
When he tried to pick tit, two shadows blue uninvited showed up.
The Flower Valley was located in deep of Hengyun Mountains. And those practitioners who had the guts to take risks here must have something.
In the past few days, when Lin Yun met other outsiders, he all tried avoid them,
But when he was going to get the last Blood Lily, he was spotted.
“We’re so lucky. Not long after we are here, we find the Blood Lily the young master wants.”
“Hehe, the Bloody Flame Snake guarding the Blood Lily is also rare evil beast. Every part is valuable. We will make a fortune if we can kill it.”
Lin Yun found that those two men were high and strong, middle-aged, who didn’t look like sect disciples at all.
But they were both at the sixth level of Martial Practice.
The pattern embroidered on the clothes before their chests attracted Lin Yun.
On the water waves was carved with the word Yun.
White Water Town, Yun Family!
Lin Yun knew White Water Town was the most prosperous town in Skywater Kingdom. Those who went there to do businesses were all practitioners of Skywater Kingdom. There were also some powerful families in the town, only a little inferior to the four sects.
If Lin Yun wanted to sell the evil beast parts at a reasonable price, he should go to the White Water Town.
“Kid, get lost. This Blood Lily is ours.”
Shouted the man in black on the left.
They knew Lin Yun came first, so this was robbery.
“Sorry, but I found this Blood Lily first.”
He might have given it up if it had been before.
But this was the last one for his spiritual stone task, so Lin Yun didn’t mean to give it up.
On hearing that, the two men from Yun Family looked at each other and then laughed wildly.
“Hahaha, did I hear it wrong? A fourth level junior tries to kill a Bloody Flame Snake?”
“Get out of my sight. I don’t have time talking rubbish with you. Don’t be an eyesore.”
Speaking of which, they were approaching Lin. And the momentum of the sixth level of Martial Practice they were sending out really gave people a lot of pressure.
Lin Yun glanced at them, and then walked away without saying a word.
On seeing Lin Yun leave, they sneered: “I thought he has some guts as a sect disciple. It turns out he is a coward.”
“He knows how to behave. Forget about that crap from Qingyun Sect. We should kill the Bloody Flame Snake first. It has strong defense ability. It’s not easy to deal with it.”
“Hm. Let’s do it.”
Actually Lin Yun didn’t go far away. He was watching on a rock about five kilometers away.
In his hand, one, two, three, four…five precious Body Refining Elixirs.
He meant to break the fourth level of Martial Practice at its original pace, but now it seemed he had to change his plan.
Sometimes one had to fight for something that belonged to him.
