Lu Xun was raking in Experience Points, so he wasted no time in raising the Skill Level of One Sword to Level 5.
His other primary skills - Sword Cultivating Technique, Ink Painting, etc. remained at Level 5 and did not continue to advance.
It wasn't that he couldn't level it up. Compared to the mystic Five Elements Cultivation Technique which required ridiculously high Experience Points, leveling up skills was relatively economical.
The main reason was that before reaching Level 50, Level 5 skills were sufficient.
Before becoming a Great Cultivator, even if you level up the skill to Level 10, the maximum level, the power it can exhibit would still be limited.
Therefore, overly improving skill levels doesn't bring a high return on investment.
Of course, this doesn't apply to low-quality Yellow Level Skills, it only applies to Blue Level Skills and above.
Once the One Sword was upgraded, Lu Xun wanted to try it out, but circumstances didn't permit!
