Some of the super experts in the Great Yan Prefecture might be able to do the same with their Primordial Spirit. However, this young man did not use any Primordial Spirit at all. He relied entirely on the means of an ordinary person …
That was terrifying!
Not only was his eyesight, movements, speed, and grasp of timing extremely accurate, but his control of his muscles and reflexes had also reached an unheard of level!
So many slashes were completed in the short span of a few breaths. Even if there was a slight error, the result would be a thousand miles off. Yet, the young man did not make any mistakes at all!
That kind of control was beyond imagination!
More importantly, not only was he not excited after doing all that, he even shook his head in disappointment … This meant that it was nothing to him.
This … was too heaven-defying!
When did such a powerful expert appear in the Immortal Subduing Sect?
"Could it be … that elder?"
Even in the Great Yan Prefecture, a peerless sword immortal was rare. It was impossible for two of them to appear in the same place. Perhaps, he was the expert who taught her swordsmanship but did not show up!
As for the young man's appearance … Many experts who had lived for hundreds of years looked young as well. Legend had it that The Great Demon had lived for thousands of years, but he still looked like a child.
Thus, appearance could not represent one's strength and age.
"If it's really that person, that's great …"
She was still thinking about how to enter the residence and what kind of methods she could use to make the other party accept her as his disciple. She did not expect to be so lucky to meet him here.
This was the best opportunity she had ever had. She could not miss it!
With that thought in mind, she hurriedly took two steps forward and knelt on the ground. "Disciple of the Immortal Subduing Sect, Liu Yi. I'm fortunate to have been imparted with your swordsmanship, and I've comprehended a lot. I hope that you can accept me as your disciple!"
Su Yin was shocked.
When did this fellow … come here?
How terrifying!
It seemed like he should not wander outside before he became stronger. Otherwise, he would not even know how he died!
Suppressing his shock, Su Yin waved his hand. "Friend, you must have mistaken me for someone else."
He did not have any cultivation at all. What was there to impart?
Liu Yiyi was also stunned.
The voice of the person who imparted the swordsmanship last night was sharp and piercing, but this young man's voice was gentle and warm. They were two different people.
"I have already comprehended a portion of the swordsmanship that Elder imparted to me last night …"
After pausing for a moment, Liu Yiyi asked tentatively.
"You must be mistaken. I've never seen you before, let alone your swordsmanship …" Su Yin smiled bitterly.
To be able to acknowledge the wrong master...
This guy was really something!
Liu Yiyi was a little confused when she heard how certain he was.
It was impossible for an expert of his level to lie to a nobody like her. There was no need for him to do so, and he disdained to do so as well. If that was the case … was it really not the one from yesterday?
The Immortal Suppressing Sect was hiding two peerless Sword Immortals?
As expected of a sect that had been passed down for ten thousand years, its foundation was indeed profound!
But … if that's the case, who should I acknowledge as my master?
For a moment, she was in a dilemma.
She had no idea how powerful the elder who had taught her the previous day was, but the fact that he was able to break through his bottleneck and defeat Zhou Yuan with just a few words was enough to show how powerful he was.
As for the other party, even without using Zhen Yuan, Spiritual Perception, or cultivation, he was able to control his muscles with such precision. His swordsmanship had reached an unfathomable level as well …
It could be said that no matter who she acknowledged as her master, she would be able to reach greater heights and become a true expert!
However, she could only choose one master. Otherwise, if she were to be half-hearted, she could very well be disliked and even expelled from the sect.
"I was being too rash …"
Knowing that she had gotten the wrong person, Liu Yiyi bowed deeply once more. "Elder, I saw how you were able to chop down a tree without using your strength earlier. Is that … an unparalleled swordsmanship?"
Su Yin didn't think that Liu Yiyi would be so imaginative. It was just chopping wood, but swordsmanship … Swordsmanship your head!
Shaking his head, he explained, "It's just some techniques. It's not worth mentioning at all!"
Liu Yiyi's eyelids twitched, and she gasped in astonishment.
The realm of an expert was indeed different!
What she found to be incomparably profound and difficult to accomplish was nothing more than an ordinary technique in the eyes of the other party. In fact, she even felt a little embarrassed when she spoke of it …
This kind of understanding … was admirable.
"Then … Elder, can you teach me?"
The more she thought about it, the more agitated she became. Liu Yiyi looked at Zhang Xuan expectantly.
To an expert of Zhang Xuan's level, what she had just witnessed might mean nothing at all. However, to her, if she could learn a move or two from him, she might be able to exact her vengeance!
"You want to learn how to chop wood?" Su Yin was taken aback.
How wonderful was it to cultivate? One could soar through the heavens and burrow through the earth, achieving immortality … How crazy would one have to be to not learn this? Learn how to chop wood?
Liu Yiyi hurriedly nodded her head.
"It's easy to learn, but if you want to reach my level, you'll need at least several months of hard work. How about this, I'll impart some of the basics to you!"
Seeing that Liu Yiyi was serious about learning, Su Yin shook his head. Recalling the scene when he was learning from her, he asked with a smile, "What do you think is the first thing one should practice in order to learn how to chop wood?"
Knowing that this was a test, Liu Yiyi pondered for a moment before replying cautiously, "The way one holds a sword … No, the way one holds a hatchet?"
In order to practice swordsmanship, one had to first practice the basics. How one held a sword, how one drew a sword, and how one wielded a sword were of utmost importance. The Thirty-six Immortal Subduing Forms began from such basics.
"Wrong!" Su Yin shook his head. "You have to practice your eyesight first! If you don't know where the wood is, how are you going to chop wood? Even if you know where it is, if you can't pinpoint the exact location, how are you going to chop wood properly?
"Eyesight is extremely important. Only by seeing the location of the wood, finding the structure of the wood, and calculating the movement trajectory of the wood will you be able to chop wood properly.
"It's just like how you cut meat. If you don't know where the bones and joints are, you can only rely on brute force. Not only will you not be able to dismember an ox, it will even backfire on you!"
This was what the fragmented soul of Li Qiaofu imparted to him on the first day he learned how to chop wood.
In order to practice his eyesight, he went through a lot of pain.
"Eyesight?"
Liu Yiyi's body jolted. She felt as though the door to a new world was slowly opening up.
Indeed, in order to practice swordsmanship, one must first practice one's eyesight!
Only by seeing through the other party's moves and what they are going to do can one predict the other party's movements and react in advance!
In just a short sentence, Zhang Xuan had revealed the most profound essence of swordsmanship …
As expected of an expert. Using chopping wood as a metaphor for swordsmanship, he was able to explain it so thoroughly.
Boom!
Understanding this point, the parts of swordsmanship that Zhang Xuan didn't understand previously were instantly enlightened. Her aura surged once more, and soon, she broke through the shackles of Juxi 5-dan and reached 6-dan.
With a flick of her wrist, the sixth and seventh forms of the Immortal Subduing Swordsmanship were executed smoothly.
In an instant, sword qi filled the forest, and the air was bleak. The surrounding plants were suppressed to the point that they couldn't even raise their heads.
"Incredible …"
Su Yin was filled with envy.
This is what an immortal cultivator is like!
At most, he would chop wood, and the other party would tremble slightly, and the plants would lower their heads … They were both eighteen or nineteen years old, but why was there such a huge difference between them?
How embarrassing, how embarrassing!
Just as Zhang Xuan was feeling embarrassed, Liu Yiyi, who had just finished executing her swordsmanship, bent her knees and kneeled to the ground. The gratitude in her eyes couldn't be concealed any longer.
"Elder, thank you for enlightening me! I, Liu Yi, am deeply grateful … "
She was truly impressed!
The reason why she was able to achieve a breakthrough so quickly wasn't just because she had comprehended the essence of swordsmanship. She had also absorbed some of the saint ki that the other party had left behind when he was chopping wood.
As such, she was indebted to him!
“？？？”
Just as he was feeling envious of the other party, he saw the other party kneeling down. Su Yin was dumbfounded.
Is there such a huge difference in etiquette?
What … did I enlighten you?
I only told you the most basic way to train your eyesight, and you managed to comprehend it …
What did you comprehend?
Could it be that … this fellow knew that he was Senior Granduncle, and just like Chen Yu and Wu Yuan, he came here to put on an act?
If that was the case …
Isn't the Immortal Subduing Sect … a little too hardworking?
