Cultivation Online novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38 - Flying Sword

’Mu Qing’s Approval...? Is Mu Qing that man just now?’ Yuan raised his eyebrows in a puzzled manner after seeing the notification.

«Mu Qing’s Approval: Grants you access to certain events»

’What kind of effect is this?’ Yuan became even more puzzled after seeing the description.

Unlike Mo Zhou’s Gratitude that grants him offensive benefits, this Mu Qing’s Approval provided nothing of that sort except a vague description.

’I guess not every effect comes with benefits like Mo Zhou’s Gratitude...’ Yuan thought to himself.

"Xiao Hua, now that I have defeated a monster at the Spirit Warrior level, do you think I am ready to fight other monsters at the same level?" Yuan asked her sometime later.

"Un. But Spirit Warrior level monsters don’t usually roam in this area. The Demonic Spider must have been a special occasion. If Brother Yuan wants to fight Spirit Warrior leveled monsters, we will have to travel further south to the Purple Bamboo Forest. There we can find monsters between the first level and the third level Spirit Warrior."

"How far away is this place?" Yuan asked.

"A few thousand miles," she casually responded.

"A few thousand?!" Yuan’s eyes widened with shock, as that was akin to traveling from one continent to another in the real world! How long would it take for them to get there without a plane or any vehicle?

"Um... And how are we going to get there?" He decided to ask her.

"We fly, of course." Xiao Hua calmly responded. "Unless Brother Yuan wants to run there, which will take a couple of days."

"W-Wait a second... did you just say ’fly’? You can fly?!" Yuan looked at her with wide eyes, completely forgetting about her skills.

Xiao Hua nodded and said, "Once a Cultivator reaches the Spirit Grandmaster level, they can manipulate the spiritual energy within their body and their surroundings and soar in the sky. Of course, there are talented individuals out there who can fly before reaching the Spirit Grandmaster level."

"But since Brother Yuan can’t fly yet, Xiao Hua will carry you with a flying sword."

After saying those words, Xiao Hua retrieved a sword from her storage pouch and tossed it in the air.

One would expect the gravity to pull the sword towards the ground, but the sword actually remained suspended in the air, almost as though there was an invisible hand holding it.

"Oh my god..." Yuan stared at the floating sword with bright eyes.

He has been wanting to try something like this ever since he saw that Cultivator floating in the sky while standing on his sword when he first arrived in this world. However, he didn’t expect that such an opportunity would arise so fast.

"You are the best, Xiao Hua! I love you!" Yuan went to hug her out of sheer excitement.

"Oh..." Xiao Hua’s soft cheeks turned slightly rosy after the hug.

"Anyway, how do I do this? Do I just jump on the sword?" Yuan asked her afterward.

"U-Un." Xiao Hua nodded, and she spoke, "Because Xiao Hua will control the sword for Brother Yuan, you will only need to control the spiritual energy in your legs and feet, or you will fall off the sword in the air."

"Okay, let’s give this a try!"

Yuan immediately turned to face the flying sword with excitement in his gaze.

After preparing himself, he jumped on the sword.

"Ah!"

Yuan immediately fell off the sword a second later due to a mistake in his balancing.
