Philip chuckled and said to the Bamboo Swordsman, “Sure enough, like master, like sword spirit. Bamboo Shoot
thinks that he’s not good enough, while you share the same thought. As a sword practitioner, you should have full
confidence in yourself. Otherwise, how could you wield a sword?”
“Bamboo Shoot thought you left without leaving a remnant of your soul. He was very excited when he heard that
we had seen you,” Hiram added.
The Bamboo Swordsman patted the shoulders of the two and said with a smile, “I’ve received his heartfelt words.
Thanks, both of you…”
“After this place closes, I’ll return to that stone house and live there in peace. I haven’t had that tea for a long
time.”
After that, the Bamboo Swordsman looked at ease as if he was already sitting at the table in the stone house,

Philip asked, “I wonder how we can get out. These passages are so complicated.”
“Don’t worry. This place is only open for five days. When the time is up, I’ll toss everyone who’s still alive out the
entrance you came in.”
In that case, they still had more than a day left.
Just as Philip was about to bid farewell to the Bamboo Swordsman and continue walking into the depths, the
swordsman stood up and stopped him.
“You don’t have to work so hard. We’re already very close to the entrance, and you’ve explored this area
thoroughly enough. If you go any further, you’ll just end up coming back the same way.”
With a smile on his face, the swordsman continued, “Just stay here with me, and I’ll give you a present each. What
do you think?”
This swordsman usually acted like a tough guy, but he now behaved like a withered old man. It was not his fault. It
would happen to anyone if they stayed in one place without any company.
The two happily agreed.
Philip took out the sword with a dragon’s head he got from the test tablet and handed it to the Bamboo
Swordsman.
The swordsman exclaimed, “You must be pretty talented to have obtained this.”
Next, the Bamboo Swordsman told Philip about the origin of the sword.
This sword had almost replaced Bamboo Shoot’s position and could also be regarded as the Bamboo Swordsman’s
accompanying sword. Truth be told, this sword could not do much in Philip’s hands, so Philip gifted it to Hiram
whether the sword agreed or not.
One day would be over soon, and the swordsman said to Philip earnestly, “You’re one of the rarest talents I’ve seen
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsince I traveled the world. I won’t say too much, but if possible, I hope you can stand out at the critical moment.”
Philip knew quite well what he meant by the critical moment, so he nodded heavily.
After that, the Bamboo Swordsman took out three things and presented them to the two of them, a short robe, a
sword, and a sword technique.
Two items were handed to Philip as he explained, “This was my favorite night outfit back then. Not only does it look
good, but it can also block other people’s detection. I obtained this sword from a renowned family of blacksmiths,
which you can use as a token…”
“If you need any equipment, you can go to the First Continent and look for the Divum Guild.”
The book of sword technique was handed over to Hiram as he said, “Although you’re intelligent by nature, you have
ordinary talents. As long as you can put some effort into learning this technique, even a fool can achieve
something.”
“Thank you, sir!” Hiram gratefully accepted the book.
