Li Fan was a bit bewildered for a moment. Had his strength not greatly diminished? The fight with Lu Chai wasn't actually that dangerous, but who would have thought he'd directly damage a flying sword!
'Xuantian Sword Spirit says, no need to fret so much. That's the biggest problem with rogue cultivators and small sects: their sights are too narrow. They can't bear to part with this, can't bear to lose that, treating expendables like flying swords as if they're treasured artifacts. To achieve the sword immortal's cultivation, who doesn't break and forge hundreds of fine swords? Just forge another one!
Wait till you've studied arithmetic for a hundred years, alchemy for another hundred, and then spent a hundred years on artifact crafting. By then, your skills will be complete, and I, myself, will personally guide you in sword making. You'll definitely graduate within five hundred years! Once you can craft your own swords, how many would you like to have?'
