Chapter 24: Ancient Enchantment Technique

“Lu Xuan, you’re a real prodigy genius!” Xia Chen Xi loudly exclaimed with undisguised praise, “Can you tell Chen Xi who your teacher is?”

Teacher? Lu Xuan hesitated a little and then understood. Xia Chen Xi assumed that in order for him to have reached this level, he had to have had a powerful teacher.

Speaking of which, Lu Xuan’s teacher really was incomparably powerful. Up until now, Lu Xuan still didn’t know the origin of the mysterious sword crystal.

Seeing that Lu Xuan didn’t reply after a time, Xia Chen Xi assumed that Lu Xuan didn’t want to speak. She then apologetically smiled and said: “Chen Xi was a bit abrupt. This ancient enchantment technique was taught to you by your teacher right?”

Ancient enchantment technique? Lu Xuan once again heard a new phrase. Could it be that the reason his was different from present enchanters and use only the main animal blood component be because he had the ancient enchantment technique?

He hadn’t thought for too long before Lu Xuan replied to Xia Chen Xi: “En, my enchantment technique was indeed taught to me by ta, however, what is this ancient enchantment technique?”

(TN: The words of pronouns in Chinese for he, she, and it are all pronounced ta. Lu Xuan uses the pronoun for it here. If Lu Xuan is talking about “it”, he is using that pronoun)

This time it was Xia Chen Xi’s turn to be puzzled. She returned his question with a question: “What did your teacher say to you?”

Lu Xuan secretly said to himself, I want it to talk to me, but it’s a pity that it can’t talk. He shook his head.

“The ancient enchantment technique has been lost for a long time. Rumors say that the enchantment techniques that we use now was evolved out of the ancient enchantment technique. Even now, many of today’s enchanters don’t know of the ancient enchantment technique’s existence. Even I had only accidentally stumbled upon an ancient book in the enchanter guild before I learned of the ancient enchantment technique’s existence.” Xia Chen Xi slowly explained to Lu Xuan.

“The ancient enchantment technique’s greatest feature is that it can use animal blood to directly draw on enchantment scrolls and doesn’t need the special product. It is well known that using the product can help neutralize the potency and make drawing easier, but at the same time it damages the potency, making it so that the full extent of the potency can no longer be drawn out.”

“As for the ancient enchantment technique, it can use animal blood to directly draw. This way, the drawn enchantment scroll’s result will be far better than something drawn by the present enchantment techniques.”

Xia Chen Xi picked up the recently successfully enchanted Lovesick sword that was by Lu Xuan’s side, waved it around a couple of times and said, “I am confident that your Wild Explosion rune can increase the explosive attack multiple times compared to an average Wild Explosion rune! It’s the same for the Enormous Power rune. Using the ancient enchantment technique to draw the Enormous Power rune will raise the attack power for your weapon by much more compared to a normal Enormous Power rune.”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan’s face became more and more concentrated. He hadn’t thought that the stuff that the sword crystal had given him was not only uncommon, even the enchantment technique was actually the ancient enchantment technique. Doesn’t that mean the sword crystal was at least something from an ancient era?

Just as Lu Xuan was getting excited, Xia Chen Xi poured a pot of cold water on him, “However, the flesh is innocent, the treasure is guilty. If it is known by others that you know ancient enchantment skills, then you can already guess the ending… Thus, I just thought it was strange that your master actually didn’t tell you about this matter.”
