Seeing Han Yan's look of disbelief, Xie Hu became anxious and said, ”You better believe it or not. It's not a simple matter to get hold of this thing. ”Firstly, this item can only be sold to outer disciples. If it is sold to the human world, it will be a capital offense.”
Speaking up to here, he saw Han Li was listening carefully, and continued, ”Second, we outer disciples, although the empire gives the family a pension, that amount of money is nothing compared to inner disciples, but it's just barely enough to feed them, and the treatment for honorary disciples is also the same. Therefore, many outer sect disciples wanted to get some money to send home. This way, it would form an unwritten rule that as long as they could afford it, they could buy the Cultivation Method. Of course, under normal circumstances, this opportunity would be ineffective against new disciples. Only new disciples who had been here for several years would have this opportunity. ”Think about it, those disciples have come for so many years. As long as they persist in completing the mission, they will have a chance to obtain the cultivation method. Rather than doing this, it's better to earn some extra money!”
When Han Yan heard this, she finally understood and said, ”After the sect knows about this, they won't pursue this matter?”
Xie Hu waved his hands and said, ”What are you looking for? As long as we don't spread out the cultivation method, everyone will understand that we outer sect disciples are too poor, and even if we get the cultivation method, we won't be able to learn anything. Every three years, they would come and inspect the outer disciples to see if there are any disciples that have cultivated to the Qi Cultivating Stage. If there are, then they can break the limit and become an honorary disciple, or be selected by an elder and directly become an official disciple. ”
These words were nothing to others, but to Han Yan, it was a great surprise. She didn't expect such a good thing. But, if that was the case, then why did Tang Xiaofeng keep it a secret in the beginning?
Did he really not know about this situation, or did he not want to say it out loud so that he would feel that he owed him a huge favor? No matter what, Tang Xiaofeng had helped him before, and Han Yan wasn't the kind of person to hold a grudge. As long as she didn't overstep his boundaries, she wouldn't put it in her heart.
When Xie Hu finished, Han Yan asked, ”Have you cultivated?”
Xie Hu nodded and gloomily said, ”Yesterday morning, I cultivated for a while, but I didn't have the slightest bit of spiritual energy in my body. I really don't know how long I'll need to cultivate.” He looked at Han Yan and said seriously, ”Han Yan, I see you as a brother. You should also take a closer look and remember the cultivation method and technique.” He had indeed treated Han Yan as a brother. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to take out such an important item, much less show it to Han Yan.
Han Yan was moved and after a moment of hesitation, she said, ”Xie Hu, this thing is so important, you actually …”
Xie Hu laughed. ”What does it matter if it's heavy or not? Isn't it just a piece of broken paper?” I'll write a few more later and sell them too. ”
Han Yan bitterly smiled. She didn't pretend as she took the cultivation method from Xie Hu's hands and carefully read it. Although she had already known what was written on it, Han Yan still read it seriously, and she also knew that Tang Xiaofeng didn't do anything to it. Of course, there was another important reason to make Xie Hu believe that he had never seen this item before. Although the sect wouldn't blame them for their private transactions, if they gave their training methods to others in private, they might be investigated.
After reading it, Han Yan took a deep breath and said, ”So deep.”
Xie Hu nodded his head in agreement and said, ”I was also confused when I first saw it, especially that breathing exercise. I just felt uncomfortable looking at it.”
In order to adapt to this awkward breathing technique, Han Yan had to persevere for a long time before being able to master it. Seeing Xie Hu's depressed expression, she smiled and said, ”Xie Hu, you have to believe me. ”Now that I have the opportunity to cultivate in the Immortal World, I must cherish it. Who knows, maybe I'll become an official disciple in three years?”
Xie Hu also knew of his talent and bitterly smiled, ”Forget about official disciples. Being able to become an honorary disciple is already an eye-opener for the heavens.”
He paused for a moment and continued, ”I heard that those with good talent can master breathing within a few days and reach Qi Disciple level 1 within a month. I think that it would be good if we could enter the sect within ten years.”
After obtaining the Imperial Jade Seal of the Heavenly Dao, Han Yan was full of confidence as she said, ”Perhaps we won't need that much time.” Xie Hu could take out the cultivation method to share with him, but he couldn't take out the Heaven's Path Jade Seal. This thing could gather spirit energy and be absorbed by cultivators after it was converted. If such a heaven defying thing was found out by an outsider, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing Xie Hu's lack of confidence, Han Yan secretly said in her heart, ”Xie Hu, I'm sorry, I can't help you now.”
Xie Hu didn't know what Han Yan was thinking, he smiled and said, ”Alright, let's go cultivate! Oh right, do not be in a place with people while cultivating. Although this does not violate the sect's rules, it is still illegal, so it is better to do it in private. As long as there's no trouble, no one will pursue this matter. ” Then, he patted his chest and said, ”Brother, if anything really happens, tell others that I gave this to you.”
Hearing this, Han Yan was completely moved, that was why she was called brother.
Han Yan thought, if something really happened, he definitely wouldn't implicate Xie Hu.
The two of them left the room and went up the mountain. Han Yan headed north, and with the help of the morning mist, she could vaguely see a number of disciples running up the mountain at a fast speed. It was not as if she had never encountered such situations before. Back then, she had thought that these people had woken up early because of something else. Now, he understood that they were all going to train like him.
After walking for more than 3 miles, Han Yan chose a remote valley before taking out the Heaven's Path Jade Seal and entering into her training.
