After watching elder Kong and the rest leave, only then did Yu Wanli turn to elder Gu Qingyang beside him. His expression was somewhat puzzled as he said, "Master, that brat just now is called Yi Xuan. He became an inner sect disciple last year and his talent can be compared to others. If my guess is correct, that brat may have already reached the mysterious Martial King stage."
Without a doubt, Yu Wanli was worried about Du Shaofu. There weren't many rules in the Tianwu Square. If there was a chance, Yi Xuan wouldn't let it go so easily and would take revenge for his fellow disciples.
As for a mid-grade Dao Artifact and two King Grade Mystical level medicinal pills, if he were to lose them, their value would still be astonishing and not a small amount.
"That kid isn't just in the Martial King Realm. He's really in the Martial King Realm."
After hearing Wan Li's words, Elder Gu Qingyang's expression didn't change much. He didn't seem to care much about Wan Li's words. He even smiled and looked at Du Shaofu, "Shaofu, what do you think? Is there any problem?"
Du Shaofu smiled and looked at Gu Qingyang, "No problem."
"That's good. If you need any help, just look for your third senior. Although your third senior isn't very good, he can guide you for now."
Elder Gu Qingyang looked at Du Shaofu. Why would he care about Yi Xuan who had just reached the Martial King Realm? In Fertile Field City, he had seen Du Shaofu kill Martial King Realm cultivators with his own eyes. Three days later, he just showed the people of the Munchū that he, Gu Qingyang, had taken in another good seedling.
"I see that your weapon is a sword. Here is a sword manual called the Bright Saint Sword Manual. It's a bit different from ordinary sword skills. It was created by an expert of the Ancient Heaven Sect who spent his entire life in a secret place. Unfortunately, I've only cultivated for a hundred years and I think I've only scratched the surface. Take it and cultivate. If there's anything you don't understand, come and look for me."
After saying that, Elder Gu Qingyang handed an ancient scroll to Du Shaofu. There were mysterious engravings on it and an ancient aura spread out.
"Bright Saint Sword Manual!"
Looking at the ancient scroll in Gu Qingyang's hand, Yu Wanli was surprised. Wasn't his youngest junior brother a Spirit Talisman Master? He was wondering why his master had taken in a Spirit Talisman Master as a disciple.
Seeing his master give his junior brother the Bright Saint Sword Manual, Yu Wanli was even more surprised. This was a treasure of the Ancient Heaven Sect. It might be a bit exaggerated to call it the sect's treasure, but in the Munchū, this Bright Saint Sword Manual definitely had a high status. Ordinary inner sect disciples didn't have the qualifications to cultivate it. He didn't expect his youngest junior brother to be given the Bright Saint Sword Manual by his master as soon as he entered the Munchū.
Du Shaofu didn't stand on ceremony and took the ancient scroll from his master, Gu Qingyang. He could feel the aura of the Bright Saint Sword Manual. It seemed to be from ancient times, but its aura was extraordinary. It shouldn't be an ordinary item.
"Also, I have a piece of bad news for you. Becoming my disciple will be relatively troublesome, so you must win in the Heaven Martial Plaza. I've talked to the sect master. If you want to become my disciple, you must pass a test. It just so happens that you're going to the Heaven Martial Plaza in three days. If you win, you can also take the test. At that time, the sect master won't have anything to say." Elder Gu Qingyang said to Du Shaofu.
Du Shaofu nodded. Then, under Elder Gu Qingyang's arrangement, Du Shaofu could choose a room on the Heaven Eye Mountain or choose a mountain peak nearby as his cultivation ground.
In the Ancient Heaven Sect, only a few inner sect disciples had the qualifications to have a mountain peak as their own cultivation ground.
Du Shaofu didn't hesitate. He thought that it would be safer for him to cultivate in the future. Naturally, he chose a mountain peak as his cultivation ground.
Then, with Third Senior Brother Yu Wanli's introduction and guidance, Du Shaofu chose a mountain peak not far from the Heaven Eye Mountain as his cultivation ground.
The mountain peak was called Ancient Rock Peak. It originally had a courtyard built with rocks and wood from ancient trees.
Although the courtyard was clean, it took Du Shaofu a day to clean it inside and out.
On this day, Du Shaofu didn't just simply tidy up the place where he lived.
For safety reasons, Du Shaofu even set up some formations and seals around the mountain peak.
In any case, Du Shaofu was publicly known as a Talisman Master in the Ancient Heaven Sect. He wasn't afraid of people knowing that he cultivated both martial arts and talisman arts.
In a colossus like the Ancient Heaven Sect, there were definitely many people who cultivated both martial arts and talisman arts.
At dusk, on the mountain peak, Du Shaofu looked at the courtyard that he had personally cleaned and the surrounding scenery. In particular, in front of the courtyard, on the cliff of the mountain peak, there was an ancient camphor tree that was probably over a hundred years old. Under the illumination of the sunset, its lush leaves shone brightly. A smile appeared on Du Shaofu's face, and a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.
A moment later, Third Senior Apprentice Brother Yu Wanli personally delivered a lot of daily necessities. When he felt the traces of the formation and restrictions on Ancient Rock Peak, he was secretly moved. He enthusiastically explained a lot of things before leaving.
Third Senior Brother was extremely enthusiastic. In the morning, Third Senior Brother was extremely protective of him, which made Du Shaofu feel quite warm in his heart.
At night, on the bed in the room, Du Shaofu sat cross-legged. In his hand, he took out the 'Bright Saint Sword Manual' that his master Gu Qingyang gave him in the morning.
"Hula …"
An ancient aura rippled as the sword manual opened. Du Shaofu's mind peered in, and a dazzling talisman rune immediately spread out.
In a short moment, a dazzling light enveloped Du Shaofu. Waves of dazzling talisman rune fluctuations condensed into sword shadows, and then swept into the space between Du Shaofu's eyebrows like a spirit snake.
The dazzling talisman rune was dazzling. Du Shaofu had already closed his eyes. At this time, his mind was in a misty place. There was a hazy illusory figure holding a long sword in his hand.
The illusory figure condensed a sword technique, and the sword was slightly pushed forward. The tip of the sword trembled, and it seemed to be stabbing left and right. The sword light swept out, sometimes slashing straight, sometimes slashing horizontally, and sometimes lifting up the sword.
The long sword trembled, and sword light scattered in all directions, enveloping the space.
The sword light swept out, and there was no energy fluctuation. It was just a move, but the sword technique was extremely exquisite and mysterious.
Du Shaofu's mind observed the sword technique, and he was immediately attracted and immersed in it.
At night, the sky was covered by the curtain of night, and the moon was bright and the stars were few.
In a courtyard on a mountain peak, Elder Kong was sitting upright. He looked at a young man in short clothes in front of him and said, "You've already seen the one called Du Shaofu. What do you think?"
The young man in short clothes had a cold temperament. Hearing this, his eyes slightly raised on his handsome face, and he said to Elder Kong, "Master, that Du Shaofu shouldn't be weak. He's just a talisman master. As long as we don't give him any chance, it won't be too difficult to defeat him."
"That's good. This time, Elder Gu took out a mid-grade Dao Artifact and two King Grade Mysterious Elixirs. Yi Xuan, you can't be careless."
Elder Kong looked at the young man in short clothes, Yi Xuan, and smiled faintly. He said, "That kid's talent is extraordinary. At such a young age, he's already a six-star talisman master. However, in the hands of Elder Gu, I'm afraid that he won't be able to accomplish anything in the future. Elder Gu is famous … Haha …"
The bright moon hung in the sky, like a jade plate. The moonlight shone in the sky, illuminating the mountains.
In the courtyard, the mysterious light of the talisman that enveloped Du Shaofu's body gradually disappeared. The scroll of the Bright Saint Sword Manual in front of him also dimmed, and the ancient aura disappeared.
"Chi chi …"
After a moment, Du Shaofu's slightly closed eyes slowly opened. Light flickered in his eyes, and there was shock in his eyes.
From the Bright Saint Sword Manual, Du Shaofu could be said to have the most direct understanding of the Bright Saint Sword Manual. The sword skills in the Bright Saint Sword Manual were extremely different from ordinary sword skills.
The sword skills in the Bright Saint Sword Manual did not have any ranks. There were a total of six sword skills, and within the six sword skills, there were countless small moves.
The six sword skills were all pure sword skills.
In a battle between cultivators, generally speaking, when there was a great disparity in strength between the two, the stronger side would be able to suppress and kill their opponent with their tyrannical strength. Strength can defeat ten. That included.
Absolute strength was enough to sweep away everything. Absolute strength was also the most fundamental.
However, if there was not much difference in strength between two people, and even the level of their weapons were not much different, then the final deciding factor would often be martial skills.
To any cultivator, Martial Skills were extremely important.
The higher the rank of a martial skill, the stronger its might would be. However, if one's cultivation was low, it would be difficult to cultivate a high rank martial skill.
At that moment, the six sword skills in the Bright Saint Sword Manual did not have any ranks. They were only six simple sword skills, but they were infinitely profound and had a myriad of variations.
Du Shaofu even had a faint feeling that the six sword skills seemed to give him a hazy feeling of deja vu. However, when he thought about it carefully, he could not think of anything.
"Comprehend and train."
Thinking about how his weapon had always been the Tyrant Shadow, and how he had not practiced any sword skills for quite some time, Du Shaofu felt that the Bright Saint Sword Manual was very suitable for him. Thus, he immediately continued to comprehend the Bright Saint Sword Manual.
The next day, the Ancient Heaven Sect was as usual. However, there was a piece of news that spread through the sect. It shocked many disciples, and even the upper echelons of the Ancient Heaven Sect.
It was said that Elder Gu Qingyang had recently accepted a new disciple. Three days later, he would fight Yi Xuan on the Heaven Martial Plaza.
This battle was not simple. It even made Elder Gu and Elder Kong both take out a mid quality Dao Artifact and two King Grade Profound level medicinal pellets as wagers.
