Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.14 - Feng Youxin's

In the second week of practice Fu Chen became increasingly heavy. Even he deliberately reduced his rest time just for exercise. Tang Shu was not too worried about Fu Chen's condition because indeed with the bone quality he had, Fu Chen had at least been worthy of being able to absorb qi.

But Tang Shu did not want that, he remained focused on improving his son's physical abilities so as not to be burdened with the very high quality of bones. He also used the rest of the red ginseng he brought to help Fu Chen develop.

Because it would be fatal if one's physical strength was not too strong to withstand the weight of his high bone quality. Conversely, if a person exercises his physical abilities to a certain degree and has low bone quality, then the bone quality of the person will also develop .

On the sidelines of his practice Fu Chen always asked Tang Shu to teach him to play the flute. Tang Shu was quite amazed by his son's talent in playing musical instruments. In just a few days, Fu Chen had already been able to memorize every note of tone that Tang Shu taught. Even on a few occasions, Fu Chen had been fluent enough to play the first verse of the song he performed.

Currently, the two are cleaning each other's goods because it has been their two weeks in the forest.

Surely there was a sense of longing between them and the family at home, especially for Fu Chen who was impatient to show off his ability to play flutes with his sister. In his mind Fu Mei would definitely be amazed and adore him when he found out he was an expert in flute playing.

As before, their journey home took them two days and one night. Fu Chen told his father when they wanted to go back to bring another horse that he would use.

Although his body was still small, but riding a young horse was not a problem for him. Because while in the forest, he has been training with a horse that is usually on his father's ride.

Fu Chen and Tang Shu were greeted by Fu Mei and Xin Xue as the two arrived home. For Fu Mei the presence of the two was the answer to the expectations she had wanted for the past week.

Xin Xue did not say much, she just smiled gently watching Fu Mei hug her husband and son tightly. But behind the smile is implied a feeling of relief to see the child and her husband in good health.

The next day when he heard that Fu Chen had come home, Sin Lou immediately approached his friend's residence. He had obtained permission from his father the day before Fu Chen's arrival.

"Ahahah... brother, when are you going to take me on an adventure, hm? You know, I've been trying so hard to be free of that blacksmith." Sin Lou hugged his friend's shoulder as the two were near Tang Shu's stables and buffalo.

Fu Chen smiled awkwardly hearing his friend lotus his own father, he then scratched his non-itchy cheek. "I don't know either. said the father he had to take care of some necessities and wanted to rest first." Fu Chen replied with a gentle smile. He did not want to disappoint his friend, but he could do nothing.

"Come on.. Do you want to see my handsome face turn dull from playing with fire every day?" Sin Lou put on his face of compassion hoping that Fu Chen would persuade Tang Shu to leave immediately. Indeed, for the past month he was always side by side with dust and sweat, and the heat from the fireplace made his skin a little dull.

On the sidelines of Fu Chen's confusion in giving an explanation to Sin Lou, a familiar voice in their ears entered the conversation.

"If you want to come, then come here in three days. Carry enough clothes and supplies for you to use." Tang Shu came with a bucket of water to clean up the horse he had ridden yesterday.

"Dad?" Fu Chen said with a wide smile, a fresh breeze as if it was hitting him. He did not need to be confused anymore to give an explanation to Sin Lou.

"But uncle, can't it go any faster?" Sin Lou still maintained his desire to leave faster.

"If you're bored at home then come here, I think Fu Chen needs your help to take care of the garden. It's been two weeks that the apple orchard hasn't been taken care of." Tang Shu was aware of Sin Lou's wishes, but he also wanted to enjoy time with his family back.

But behind the sadness that Sin Lou felt, Fu Chen smiled widely considering that his burden would be even lighter because of the presence of Sin Lou who would help him. "You are the best!" Fu Chen laughed happily while embracing his friend's shoulder.

In the Sacred Sword Sect which was located in a quite vast mountain range. Currently one of the Elders who had previously gone to the Falling Star Village was giving a report on the results of the registration in that Village.

Previously the four Elders had agreed not to report it to the Sect Chief immediately because of the black dantian case that Fu Chen had. Each of them were looking for information related to their newfound Dantian. But after a month of not finding any results, they chose to leave the matter to the Sect Chief.

In a fairly large workspace, one of the four Elders had previously submitted the data of participants who had successfully registered to compete to become Sect disciples. He then explained the black dantian matter to the Sect Chief who was currently reading the names of the participants.

"Andian black…?" The sect head named Feng Youxin frowned. He then noticed Fu Chen the owner of the Black Dantian. He thought for quite a while before finally sighing softly.

"Do you have a little clue?" Feng Youxin asked feeling not knowing anything about the report.

"Sorry Chairman, but in our Sect there seems to be no record of discussing this." The elder replied politely.

"This is very confusing.. Then what about the boy who has the black dantian?" Ask Feng Youxin.

He assumed that the owner of the dantian could be in a row of clues.

"For that reason, I think this brat is quite talented, not many children his age have managed to do the formation of dantian in one experiment," said the elder trying to explain.

Feng Youxin frowned, hearing the answer from the Elder slightly made him shocked and confused. He was getting dizzy to think of such an uncertain thing.

The one who could perform the dantian formation in the first time trial was only those outstanding talents that the Great Sect possessed.

These children had at least received education from their Sect to awaken dantian from an early age and even then only a few were actually able to form dantian in one experiment.

Feng Youxin sighed once more to calm himself down. His order was too much to think about this black Dantian matter.

"Let it be then, let him follow the selection of the new disciple later. I think old man Li knows a little about this." Feng Youxin then allowed the Elders in front of him to retreat.

The reason why they bring up the black dantian problem is because they do not want to take various kinds of risks that may occur. It was not impossible if the person who possessed the black Dantian would mess with their sect or simply defame the Holy Sword Sect later on.

On the other hand, Feng Youxin also did not wish to accept a flawed disciple. Not because he did not want to dirty his Sect, but to keep the child from being bullied by other students.
