Every single cultivation technique was passed down through the blood, sweat, and tears of countless generations.
Putting everything aside, just the [White Jade Art] that Zhao Chi practiced had been passed down for more than three hundred years. Countless ancestors had practiced it before. If not for the fact that Zhao Ya was a woman, she would have practiced this as well.
He had started to sense spiritual energy at the age of four, and he had been cultivating the White Jade Art for more than forty years. He had never thought that there was anything wrong with it. Yet, this young Miss Zhang actually said that she had modified it?
Was this for real?
Modifying a cultivation technique was something that could only be done when one's understanding of power had reached the Zongshi realm.
Thus, upon hearing Zhang Xuan's words, not only City Lord Zhao Feng, even Emperor Shen Zhui was in disbelief.
Even Royal Ancestor Shen Hong, who had reached Zongshi realm, was unable to modify a cultivation technique that had been passed down for several hundred years. Yet, this young man... could he really do it?
Seeing the doubt in the duo's eyes, Zhang Xuan didn't pay them any heed. He took out a brush and a piece of paper and started writing.
Previously, when he compiled a new cultivation technique for Zhao Ya and the others to practice, they were also behaving in such a manner. He was already used to such an attitude.
It didn't take him too long to write down a cultivation technique.
"This..."
Taking the paper, City Lord Zhao Chi lowered his head to take a look. He realized that Miss Zhang had modified a few parts of the original cultivation technique. However, after taking a look at it, a bizarre expression appeared on his face.
"Is there a problem?"
Emperor Shen Zhui couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, take a look!" Zhao Chi passed the cultivation technique over.
Shen Zhui casually flipped it open. After taking a look, he was also perplexed. "Back then, I had the Royal Ancestor appraise your cultivation technique, and I have taken a look at it as well. It was grand and majestic. However, after modifying it like this, it is completely different from before, and there are even conflicting parts... Can it really be cultivated?"
As a Tongxuan realm pinnacle expert and the emperor of a country, he was knowledgeable. He was able to tell the pros and cons of this modified cultivation technique.
If one were to cultivate according to the cultivation technique, several of the acupoints would clash with one another, causing one's zhenqi to go berserk.
"We'll know whether it can be cultivated or not after giving it a try!"
Seeing the doubt in the duo's eyes, Zhang Xuan didn't flare up.
"I believe in Miss Zhang!" City Lord Zhao hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Even though the White Jade Art before him had been modified into a bizarre and confusing state, he still believed in Miss Zhang.
To be able to see through his daughter's Pure Yin Body with a single glance, and to be able to help the other four students improve so much in just half a month, regardless of whether it was her eye of discernment or her guidance on cultivation, she wasn't someone whom he could compare to.
Thinking of this, City Lord Zhao memorized the changes and sat cross-legged on the ground, cultivating on the spot.
Hu! Hu!
As he calmed his breathing, the surrounding spiritual energy immediately gathered and entered his body through his pores.
As soon as he started cultivating, the crowd was able to see his true strength. Tongxuan realm advanced stage!
Gugugugu!
After cultivating for a short period of time, City Lord Zhao's originally rosy face had turned pale, and he was sweating profusely. His body could not help but tremble slightly.
"This …"
Seeing his appearance, Emperor Shen Zhui couldn't help but ask, "Miss Zhang, did he cultivate wrongly? His breathing is hastened, and his mind is unstable. This is … the sign of his cultivation going berserk!"
Under normal circumstances, when spiritual energy was refined into zhenqi, one would feel more and more comfortable. However, the City Lord Zhao before her was trembling uncontrollably, as though a bizarre force was trying to break out of his body. It was clear that something was wrong.
Unlike Juxi realm and Dantian realm, Tongxuan realm cultivators were bound to suffer from cultivation going berserk!
At best, their cultivation would be crippled. At worst, they would die on the spot.
There was no way to salvage the situation!
"Don't panic. If City Lord Zhao feels that something is amiss, he will stop!"
Instead of replying to his question, Zhang Xuan simply smiled calmly.
"This …"
That was right. City Lord Zhao had cultivated for many years. He wasn't a student who had just entered the academy. He would only blindly follow the instructions of the teacher and cultivate blindly.
If he really felt that something was amiss, he would definitely stop.
Understanding this point, Emperor Shen Zhui relaxed slightly. However, he was still frowning.
He had seen the changes made by Miss Zhang, and it was completely different from the White Jade Art that City Lord Zhao had cultivated previously. In fact, there were even some parts that were reversed. Could it be that … it was really possible to cultivate this way?
One must know that messing with a cultivation technique … could result in one's death!
Furthermore, wasn't City Lord Zhao being too rash?
Even though Miss Zhang had modified it, she hadn't verified it yet. Wasn't he afraid that something would go wrong if he were to cultivate this way?
Pu!
Just as his thoughts were running wild, City Lord Zhao's complexion turned even more awful. Unable to hold it in any longer, he spurted a mouthful of blood.
"City Lord Zhao …"
Seeing him spurting blood, Emperor Shen Zhui was about to help him up when Miss Zhang's voice sounded, "Don't panic. Let's take a look at the blood he spurted first."
Lowering his head to take a look, he saw that the blood on the floor was crimson. It was completely different from the usual crimson color.
Emperor Shen Zhui's face froze.
No matter how foolish he was, it was impossible for him to not realize that something was amiss.
Just as Emperor Shen Zhui was conflicted over whether he should ask about it, he saw City Lord Zhao's aura gathering to its peak.
Boom!
An explosion sounded. It was as though his entire person had changed. His aura surged and his strength grew stronger.
"Tongxuan realm … pinnacle? He achieved a breakthrough? "
Emperor Shen Zhui narrowed his eyes.
No matter how foolish he was, it was clear that City Lord Zhao had benefited greatly from the cultivation technique. His cultivation had risen from Tongxuan realm advanced stage to Tongxuan realm pinnacle.
Even though it was only a minor breakthrough, the fact that he was able to achieve such a feat in such a short period of time was sufficient to show how formidable Miss Zhang's modified cultivation technique was.
"This cultivation technique …"
Emperor Shen Zhui couldn't help but pick up the cultivation technique to study it once more. However, Zhang Xuan casually picked it up and tossed it lightly.
Huala!
The few pages fell into the furnace not too far away and were reduced to ashes.
Emperor Shen Zhui was getting more and more confused.
As the emperor of a country, he had always thought of himself as an intelligent person. However, after seeing Miss Zhang's actions today, he felt as though he was a fool. He couldn't make sense of the situation at all.
She said that she would modify the other party's cultivation technique, but after taking a look at it, it was completely different from before. In the end, it was this cultivation technique that allowed City Lord Zhao, who had been stuck at Tongxuan realm advanced stage for many years, to achieve a breakthrough in an instant.
Since it was so effective, this cultivation technique should be extremely valuable. Yet … it was destroyed by him on the spot …
Since you have already modified someone else's cultivation technique, it is natural that you want him to cultivate diligently in the future. Why did you destroy it?
"As expected of Yang shi's disciple, his actions are unfathomable …"
Just as Emperor Shen Zhui was perplexed, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
Yang shi!
Honestly speaking, this Yang shi's actions were even more bizarre. However, they were exceptionally effective. As expected of his direct disciple, Zhang Xuan already possessed such a disposition.
"Thank you, Miss Zhang!"
Just as Zhang Xuan was deep in thought, City Lord Zhao stopped his cultivation and turned to look at Zhang laoshi respectfully once more.
"You know about it?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
"Yes, I know about it!"
City Lord Zhao nodded his head.
"Alright, you can leave now!" Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
"Un!" City Lord Zhao nodded his head and backed out of the classroom. He didn't mention the burning of the secret manual at all.
"This …"
Seeing how the two of them were behaving oddly, Emperor Shen Zhui felt that it wasn't appropriate for him to probe further. Thus, he stood up and said, "Miss Zhang, I'll be taking my leave too."
After which, he hurriedly chased after the other party.
Walking out of the classroom, he saw City Lord Zhao standing not too far away. He was looking at Miss Zhang's room with a solemn expression.
"What happened?"
Emperor Shen Zhui couldn't help but ask.
The two of them were speaking in riddles, and he was about to faint.
"Your Majesty, you have seen the cultivation technique that Miss Zhang modified for me. What do you think?" City Lord Zhao didn't answer Emperor Shen Zhui's question.
"I feel that … the modifications are messy, making it hard for me to understand …" After hesitating for a moment, Emperor Shen Zhui spoke of his thoughts.
Even though he saw City Lord Zhao achieving a breakthrough in his cultivation technique with his own eyes, he still felt that something was amiss when he thought about the contents of the cultivation technique.
"That's right, it is indeed messy. To be honest, Miss Zhang intentionally modified it …"
City Lord Zhao nodded his head.
"Intentionally modified it?" Emperor Shen Zhui fainted. "You know that it was wrong, yet you still chose to cultivate it?"
Modifying a cultivation technique was no joke. It was easy for one's cultivation to go berserk. Yet, you chose to cultivate it despite knowing that it was wrong. What in the world were these two up to?
Furthermore, if it was wrong, how did you reach Tongxuan realm pinnacle?
What in the world was going on?
