In a room in the Hidden Immortal Residence, Su Yin rubbed his glabella.
Not long after he returned from chopping firewood, Chen Yu and Zhao Ruoxu sent over the transcribed secret manuals. There were more than a hundred of them in total.
《Four Extremities Heart Sutra》, 《Violet Aura Inferno Art》, 《Five Elements Battle Art》, 《Six Meridians Sutra》 … With the accumulation of ten thousand years in the Subjugation Immortal Sect, there were nine Xuan realm secret manuals, and one of them was even at Xuan realm pinnacle!
After studying the secret manuals for twelve hours, Zhang Xuan finally realized that … he was unable to cultivate any of them.
Once he tried to drive the secret manuals, all of his acupoints would close automatically, making it impossible for him to open them!
If he couldn't absorb spiritual energy into his body, how was he supposed to cultivate Zhen Yuan?
"Is my talent that bad?" Su Yin was on the verge of tears.
The main characters of novels were able to cultivate faster and stronger than ordinary cultivators once they came into contact with cultivation techniques. What was going on with him?
Xiantian Constitution and Celestial Bloodline … These must be fake!
At this rate, not only would he be unable to soar into the heavens and burrow into the earth, he might even be beaten to death if he was careless …
This was too tragic!
"I have to change this situation!" Su Yin's eyes glinted.
Seeing others soar into the heavens and burrow into the earth while he was unable to cultivate, he felt indignant.
"It would be best if I could find someone to answer my questions …"
He had learned many cultivation techniques and secret manuals, and he was able to form his own understanding of them. However, he had never cultivated them before, so there might be some problems with his understanding.
"It would be best to find Wu Yuen and the others to answer my questions, but they know my identity. How awkward would it be for me to ask them some simple questions … I have to find someone who doesn't know who I am and has a unique understanding of cultivation techniques, as well as someone who is extremely talented!"
As he pondered, a figure appeared in his mind.
"That Liu Yiyi was able to achieve a breakthrough in her cultivation and swordsmanship with just a few words from me. This shows that she is extremely talented. She might even be one of the top talents in the entire Subjugation Immortal Sect!"
"I should be able to gain a lot from asking her …"
As the saying went, birds follow phoenixes and phoenixes soar into the sky.
There was only one way for someone like him to improve quickly, and that was to … get close to geniuses and learn from them.
To put it bluntly, he was riding on the other party's luck.
In novels, whether it was a fat man, a blind man, or a cripple … As long as they followed behind the main character, their cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds, reaching the pinnacle of life. You could also use this as a reference.
"Tomorrow morning, we'll go there and wait. Maybe we can still wait! When the time comes, we must not miss the opportunity … "Su Yin heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he finally understood. The other party probably didn't know his identity. Otherwise, he wouldn't have disguised himself so well. He probably didn't have any intention of killing him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have addressed him as "senior" and be so polite.
She probably misunderstood him as someone else. Since that was the case, he could make use of it.
"Coo coo coo!"
Now that he had a solution, he relaxed his mind. Only then did Su Yin feel his stomach rumble.
After chopping the firewood, he began to study the secret manual. He had not eaten for more than ten hours, and he was starving.
"Get something to eat!"
Su Yin stood up and walked out.
… …
After returning to the sect, Liu Yiyi once again transformed into a man.
This time, not only did her cultivation and understanding of swordsmanship increase by leaps and bounds, she also succeeded in becoming the disciple of a teacher.
"I should settle the matter teacher instructed me to do first …"
As one of the Ten Great Sects of the Great Yan Continent, the Zhenxian Sect had quite a large stockpile of demonic beast meat. As long as one was willing to spend money, one could buy it.
Finding the market, Liu Yiyi bought some tasty beast meat that was rich in spiritual energy. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
Even though she didn't know what her 'teacher' liked, the more the merrier. There was bound to be one that he liked.
Returning to the Martial Arts Hall, just as she was about to reinforce her cultivation and continue practicing her swordsmanship, her vision blurred and she was stopped by another person.
Two young men, one of whom was an old acquaintance — — Zhou Yuan, whom she had just defeated this morning!
"You lost to him?" The young man beside Zhou Yuan looked at her doubtfully, seemingly in disbelief.
As a disciple, he was only at Juxi realm 3-dan after cultivating for three years. In the sect, he was publicly acknowledged as a trash! Losing to him was a huge humiliation.
With a reddened face, Zhou Yuan explained, "I don't know what happened to that lad, but he managed to break through two realms in a single night. His swordsmanship also improved tremendously. It was due to a moment of carelessness that I lost …"
"A loss is a loss, there's no need to find excuses!"
Interrupting his words, the second young man looked at her coldly. "Since you were able to defeat Zhou Yuan, it means that you aren't weak. Do you dare to have a duel with me?"
Liu Yiyi frowned.
She recognized the person before her. His name was Liu Chang, and he was on good terms with Zhou Yuan. Even though they had both been in the sect for three years, his standing was much higher than the latter's. It was said that he had a chance to become the direct disciple of an elder.
The disciples were divided into: ordinary disciples, direct disciples of elders, and direct disciples of the sect leader.
"What if I don't want to?" Liu Yiyi shook her head.
She only wanted to cultivate peacefully and exact her vengeance as soon as possible. She didn't want to get involved in the conflicts between disciples.
"The sect encourages disciples to fight among themselves. Since you injured my friend, it's only right for me to challenge you! If you refuse, I'll send a letter of challenge to the elders! "
Liu Chang's lips crept up.
Under normal circumstances, one's cultivation would be done step by step. Yet, this disciple who was ranked at the bottom was able to defeat even Zhou Yuan in a single night. This piqued his curiosity.
Liu Yiyi narrowed her eyes.
A fight between disciples wasn't much. The Zhenxian Sect would host hundreds of such fights every day. However, once a letter of challenge was sent, the nature of the fight would be different.
Not only would it be more formal, there would also be elders personally presiding over the duel, and it would attract the attention of many disciples.
"Alright then!"
Without hesitating for too long, Liu Yiyi whipped out her sword.
Since she had already said so much, it would be detrimental to her mentality if she were to reject the duel.
"Straightforward!" Chuckling lightly, Liu Chang drew his sword as well.
Weng! With a hum, sword qi burst forth. As expected of a direct disciple who had the potential to become an elder's direct disciple. His cultivation had already reached Juxi realm 6-dan, and his understanding of swordsmanship was deeper than Zhou Yuan's. At the very least, his mastery of the Thirty-Six Immortal Subduing Forms was at Fifth Sword pinnacle!
Knowing that the other party wouldn't let her off easily if she didn't exert her full strength, Liu Yiyi's Zhen Yuan burst forth, and a sword qi burst forth from the tip of her sword.
"Juxi realm 6-dan?"
By the side, Zhou Yuan widened his eyes in shock.
He had just sparred with the other party yesterday afternoon, and the other party was at Juxi realm 3-dan … To reach 5-dan in a single night, I'll admit it!
It wasn't impossible for one to achieve instant enlightenment after accumulating sufficient strength.
But … to advance from 5-dan to 6-dan in just half a day, how did she do it?
If she had such talent, what had she been doing in the past?
While Zhang Xuan was still in shock, the swords of the two parties had already clashed.
Ding ding ding ding!
Liu Chang's expression became more and more solemn as he heard the pitter-patter of rain.
"It's not the fifth form, but … the sixth form!"
With his palms sweating profusely, the genius disciple was no longer as composed as before.
Zhou Yuan told him that the reason why the other party was able to win was because he had comprehended the fifth form of the sword art. Furthermore, he executed a bizarre sword art, resulting in a moment of carelessness …
This wasn't the fifth form of the sword art, but the sixth form!
Each of the 36 Immortal Subduing Forms was harder than the previous. Even with his talent, it took him half a year to comprehend the fifth form. How could this fellow, who had always been at the bottom of the rankings, possibly learn it in a single day?
Gritting his teeth, Liu Chang pushed his Zhen Yuan to its limits.
Tzla!
The sword qi tore through the air, as though breaking through the shackles of time and space, and headed straight for Liu Yiyi's throat.
This was no longer an ordinary spar. If the other party couldn't withstand the attack, she would be severely injured or even killed!
Not expecting the other party to be so vicious, Liu Yiyi didn't hold back anymore. Gritting her teeth, she executed a Sword Art.
Peng!
Before Liu Chang could even react, he felt a powerful aura crushing down on him. His purlicue hurt and he was forced to retreat more than ten steps.
Pu!
A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.
"You … actually comprehended the seventh form?"
Liu Chang's body stiffened in disbelief.
There was a dividing line between the sixth form and the seventh form of the 36 Immortal Subduing Forms. Those who comprehended the sixth form under twenty could easily become the direct disciple of an elder …
In other words, Liu Yi, who had always been at the bottom of the rankings, not only did her cultivation soar, her understanding of swordsmanship also surpassed his.
What in the world happened?
"You've lost!"
Liu Yi exhaled in agitation.
All along, she had been looking up to and envious of the other party. Who could have thought that she would be able to defeat him so easily after just two pointers from him?
Regardless of whether it was the teachers in the academy or the wood-chopping youth, their understanding of the Way of the Sword was too profound. They had probably long since reached the stage of simplifying the complicated and returning to the natural state. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to improve so much.
"I have to work hard. I mustn't let this opportunity go to waste …"
Knowing that this opportunity didn't come easily, Liu Yiyi cherished it even more.
…
While Liu Yi was in agitation, Yao Zhan, who had left the Windlightning Sect on the Silver-winged Azure Serpent, had already arrived at the Immortal Subduing Sect under the cover of the night.
"Elder Azure Serpent, let's stop here. If we get any closer, we might come into contact with the other party's Guardian Formation and be noticed … "
Yao Zhan said.
Hearing his words, a green dragon with huge wings under him nodded and flew straight to the primeval forest at the foot of the mountain.
