"Thank you, Sun shi!"
Despite their shock, they knew that this wasn't the time to be thinking about such matters. Thus, they quickly turned their gazes to the cultivation technique manual and memorized its contents.
Everyone was able to cultivate this cultivation technique, so they were well aware of what it entailed.
If the other party had obtained the heritage, he could have kept it a secret and not told anyone about it. With that, he could have easily gathered countless followers and established a powerful organization. That way, he would have been able to obtain boundless wealth … In fact, he could have even used that as leverage to make demands of them … In order to obtain the heritage of their ancestor, they would have been willing to agree to any conditions.
But the other party didn't do so.
Instead, he tossed it aside as if it was nothing more than a weed … That magnanimity was something that they could only look up to.
It was laughable that they had actually doubted such a figure …
Their faces reddened, and they wished that there was a hole in the ground that they could just bury themselves in.
All along, they had thought that it was impossible for a person to be truly selfless … But after seeing the young man before them, they realized that there was really such a person in the world!
Only such a person could truly live up to the title of 'teacher'.
"Sun shi, our Qingyuan Empire Combat Master Hall is indebted to you for imparting your heritage to us. In other words, you are half a teacher to all of us. From today onward, the Mingshi Tang Empire Combat Master Hall is willing to do anything for you!"
Hall Master Xing looked through the Vitreous Heart Tempering Sutra several times to ensure that there was no problem cultivating it. Thus, he stepped forward and clasped his fist.
Even though the Vitreous Heart Tempering Sutra was a cultivation technique left behind by the founder of the Heart Division, it had been modified by the young man before him, so it could be considered as his own cultivation technique.
Learning the other party's cultivation technique meant that he was indebted to the other party for imparting his heritage to them. This was a relationship that couldn't be shirked.
No matter what, the Qingyuan Empire Combat Master Hall had signed a huge debt to the young man before them. It wasn't something that could be erased with just a few words.
"Hall Master Xing, there's no need to be so serious …"
Not expecting the other party to be so serious, Zhang Xuan hurriedly waved his hands.
"No matter how you look at it, this debt isn't serious at all! With this Vitreous Heart Tempering Sutra, the overall prowess of our Combat Master Hall will be raised significantly. It'll be much easier for us to deal with that troublemaker! "
Hall Master Xing said with a smile.
There were two main reasons why the Combat Master Hall had been able to convince the Xuanxuan Faction to join them so quickly. Firstly, the Xuanxuan Faction's grasp of combat had indeed reached an unfathomable level. Secondly, most of the combat masters had yet to cultivate their Soul Depth.
Now that there was this cultivation technique, everyone could cultivate it. As long as one's state of mind improved, one's strength would definitely increase as well. In the exchange meeting three days later, it was really hard to say who would win and who would lose!
"If you practice this cultivation technique seriously, your mind will be clear and you won't be affected by your inner demons. You'll be able to improve your understanding of martial techniques and battles by a large margin!"
Nodding his head, Zhang Xuan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Oh right, I have some students who are extremely weak in terms of mental state cultivation. Can you pass this cultivation technique to them?"
No matter what, the Combat Master Hall was still the Combat Master Hall's Combat Master Hall. As such, he still had to discuss with the members of the Xuanxuan Faction before imparting them to Wang Ying.
"Of course you can. This is something the founder imparted to Teacher Sun, and Teacher Sun has modified it. Everything will be up to you!"
Hall Master Xing burst into laughter.
It's just a few students, not a big deal!
Division Head Liao and Division Head Wei also nodded with a smile.
This is already considered your cultivation technique, so it's not a big deal for you to impart it to your students.
It wouldn't affect their Combat Master Hall in the slightest.
"Allow me to thank the Combat Master Hall on their behalf then!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Wang Ying, Liu Yang, and the members of the Xuanxuan Faction were still young, and they were bound to be at a disadvantage when facing the many life-and-death combat masters of the Combat Master Hall. If they were to learn the Vitreous Heart Tempering Sutra, they might be able to resolve the flaws in their state of mind, thus making the exchange smoother.
"Sun shi, you're too polite!"
The crowd quickly clasped their fists.
After chatting for a while longer, Zhang Xuan suddenly recalled what he had said earlier, and he couldn't help but ask, "What is the problem that you were talking about?"
This was the second time he had asked about it.
The other party had agreed to impart the secret art to his students and the members of the Xuanxuan Faction, and this was a huge favor to him. If he could help the other party resolve the problem, it wouldn't be a big deal at all.
It just so happened that Zhang Xuan was also a little perplexed as to what kind of problem could leave the formidable Hall Master Xing at a loss.
"We'll be troubling Sun shi with this Vitreous Heart Tempering Sutra. With this Vitreous Heart Tempering Sutra, we're confident that we'll be able to resolve any problem that comes our way."
Hall Master Xing said with a smile.
The other party had already done them a huge favor by imparting the Vitreous Heart Tempering Sutra to them and simplifying it so that everyone could cultivate it. If they couldn't resolve the remaining problems as well, how could their Combat Master Hall face the world anymore?
It would be a huge embarrassment to them!
"Hall Master Xing …"
Shortly after those words were spoken, Division Head Liao suddenly turned to Hall Master Xing and sent him a telepathic message. "That Sun shi is able to evade the combined attacks of the three of us with just his Saint 1-dan pinnacle cultivation … His fighting prowess is truly frightening! If we can get him to offer our combat masters some pointers, won't our combat masters be able to raise their fighting prowess significantly within a short period of time? "
"This …"
Hall Master Xing was taken aback.
Even though the young man before him was only at Saint 1-dan, his battle experience and comprehension had already reached an unfathomable level.
Even as the head of the Combat Master Hall, as well as the other division heads, they wouldn't be a match for him at all.
Given how formidable the young man before him was, there was no doubt that he was significantly stronger than the Xuanxuan Faction. If he was willing to offer them some pointers, the overall fighting prowess of the Combat Master Hall would surely rise significantly within a short period of time.
At that time, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to defeat the Xuanxuan Faction and regain their dignity.
"That's a good idea, but our Combat Master Hall has already received such a huge favor from him. It's really unbecoming of us to ask for his help again!"
Hall Master Xing said.
Division Head Liao's idea was sound, but … he didn't want to trouble the other party too much.
Besides, the Combat Master Hall was unable to deal with a Tier-1 Empire Master Teacher Academy, and yet, they had to turn to a spirit awakener for help … How embarrassing would that be?
"You're right."
Understanding Hall Master Xing's thoughts, Division Head Liao nodded.
"It's good that you're able to handle it."
Seeing how confident the other party was, Zhang Xuan knew that asking too many questions was equivalent to not trusting the other party. Thus, he scratched his head and said, "To be honest, I do have a request that I need your help with."
"Sun shi, feel free to speak!"
Hall Master Xing said.
"Can I have a look at the Saint 1-dan and above cultivation technique manuals of your Combat Master Hall? The more, the better. I have recently reached a bottleneck in my cultivation, and I need to learn as much as I can. "
Zhang Xuan.
It had been a month since he had reached Saint 1-dan pinnacle in the Qiu Wu Palace, and his zhenqi, strength, and soul had all reached their limits. It was about time for him to make a breakthrough.
For such a long time, he had been stuck at Saint 1-dan pinnacle. Just thinking about it made him feel ashamed.
"The Combat Master Hall does have Saint 1-dan and above cultivation technique manuals, but there aren't too many of them."
Hearing that Zhang Xuan wanted to borrow a cultivation technique manual, Hall Master Xing was taken aback.
"Not too many of them?" Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
Normally, the Mingshi Tang Pavilion would have thousands of cultivation technique manuals, so what did he mean by not too many of them?
"It's like this. Unlike the Mingshi Tang Pavilion, the cultivation technique manuals of the Combat Master Hall can't be obtained just by reaching a certain level. Instead, one has to clear the minimum requirement of one's cultivation before one can obtain the cultivation technique manuals of the next tier. "
Seeing the perplexed look on Zhang Xuan's face, Hall Master Xing explained.
In the Mingshi Tang Pavilion, as long as one had reached a certain level or accumulated sufficient Contribution Points, one would be able to obtain the cultivation technique manuals of the next tier. However, the Combat Master Hall didn't have such a rule.
Combat masters had an extremely high requirement on one's fighting prowess. Only after one had reached the pinnacle of one's cultivation realm would one be able to obtain the cultivation technique manuals of the next tier.
Otherwise, if one's fighting prowess were to be lacking, one's fighting prowess would become unstable, and it would be impossible for one to become invincible among those of the same cultivation realm.
"Furthermore, our Combat Master Hall is built for battle, so the cultivation techniques we practice are more uniform. This makes it easier for us to use them to set up formations or exchange zhenqi with one another. As such, the number of cultivation technique manuals we have is significantly lower than that of the Mingshi Tang Pavilion!"
Hall Master Xing explained.
Zhang Xuan nodded in realization.
In truth, the Combat Master Hall was the army of the master teachers, and it was most suitable for them to practice the same cultivation technique. This way, they would be able to reinforce one another's zhenqi even if they were to sustain injuries in battle, thus making it easier for them to set up formidable formations.
"Of course, even though we don't have as many cultivation technique manuals as we do, they are of high quality. I believe that they should be of greater help to you. Besides, even if we don't have as many cultivation technique manuals as we do, we still have several hundred of them!"
Even though he had no idea why Sun shi wanted to have as many cultivation technique manuals as possible, there was bound to be a reason behind it. Thus, he decided to make things clear in advance so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Several hundred cultivation technique manuals are fine too. May I know where I can view them and how I will be assessed?" Zhang Xuan asked.
He was rather curious about the assessment of the Combat Master Hall. Since he could only view cultivation technique manuals during the assessment, he might as well head over to take a look and test his strength.
He had been cultivating diligently all this while, so he hadn't tested his strength yet.
"The cultivation technique manuals are all in the Inner Breath Division, and I happen to be the head of the Inner Breath Division. If Sun shi would like to take a look, I can bring you there."
Division Head Wei replied with a smile.
"I'll be troubling you then!"
Zhang Xuan nodded with a smile.
Since the other party didn't want him to interfere in their personal affairs, he couldn't be bothered with them. Since he was already at the Combat Master Hall, he should at least raise his fighting prowess a little.
"Sun shi, you're too polite."
Division Head Wei bade farewell to Hall Master Xing, and the two of them left the Inner Breath Division.
After the duo left, Division Head Liao turned to Hall Master Xing and asked doubtfully, "Hall Master Xing, have you heard of the saying that one would be able to trigger one's spiritual perception by browsing through multiple cultivation technique manuals? Isn't the more cultivation technique manuals one reads, the harder it is for one to discern truth from falsehood? "
"I have never heard of such a saying before … However, Sun shi is a true genius! Most likely, he's on par with the Master Teacher Academy's Zhang Xuan and Zhang Shi! "
Hall Master Xing remarked. However, all of a sudden, he was taken aback. "Hmm? Zhang Xuan, Zhang shi! Shortly after arriving at Qingyuan City, Sun shi suddenly appeared. Furthermore, the two of them seem to be around the same age, and they are both geniuses as well …
"Division Head Liao, I recall that Zhuo Qingfeng brought Zhang Shi's portrait with him back then. Where is it? Can you pass a copy to me? Back then, I thought that he was just the head of a small academy, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
