Chapter 65: Horned Demon
“Junior apprentice-brother Tiandu, did you make a breakthrough?” Ye Chuan sized up Nan Tiandu.
“No, still am Rank 3 Xiushi.”
Nan Taindu answered. Even when he was standing motionlessly, he gave people a threatening sword aura, and with his uncommunicative character, he looked very cold.
“What layer did your cultivation of Heaving Shaking Nine Swords reach? Are you able to condense flying sword out of spiritual power?” Ye Chuan asked again.
Nan Tiandu was dumbfounded, and immediately, his right hand subconsciously held the hilt of his sword, fixedly staring at Ye Chuan.Now he looked just like a unsheathed sharp sword pointing towards the space between the eyebrows of Ye Chuan.
Heaven Shaking Nine Swords was an ancient technique he had accidentally obtained. After successfully cultivating this technique, one could condense one’s spiritual power into flying swords, and with a single thought, one could easily send out myriads of swords simultaneously. The might of this technique was truly monstrous. Other than his Master, Second Elder Nangong Ren, for the past many years, no one inside the sect knew his this secret, but how did Ye Chaun know?
“Don’t be tense, the might of Heaven Shaking Nine Swords is pretty good, but I don’t have any interest in this kind of technique, merely I understand a little about it by chance.”
The tone of Ye Chuan was flat. Facing the pressure of Nan Tiandu, he didn’t feel any discomfort. He just paused for a while and continued on, “The path of cultivation is the path of defying the heaven, unfortunately, many people don’t know that, in fact, the cultivation speed isn’t important, what truly is important is the foundation. One should properly temper body and spirit, and every realm should be cultivated to the pinnacle, only then they could go further and climb higher. To condense flying swords from spiritual power, just truly grasp the essence of Heaven Shaking Nine Swords, Tiandu, continue to strive.”
Intentionally or unintentionally, Ye Chuan gave some pointers, then left.
Although Second Elder Nangong Ren and Nan Tiandu were known as master and disciple, but in fact, Second Elder had taught him nothing. And most of the time, Nan Tiandu cultivate and comprehend by himself. Heaven Shaking Nine Swords had many details which even Second Elder also didn’t understand, but suddenly listening to Ye Chuan speaking about spiritual power flying sword, even Nan Tiandu who was calm as if water also couldn’t help being greatly surprised.
Seeing Ye Chuan was getting farther and farther, Nan Taindu came back to his sense and he hastily chased after him: “Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Great Competition begins tomorrow, so when are we setting out?”
“After fatty returns, we will immediately set out. Tiandu, go to the underground market to meet fatty, then say him to not to delay any longer.”
Ye Chuan didn’t even turn his head and walked away.
Behind, Nan Tiandu bowed, receiving the order, then rushed towards the underground Ghost Market. Formerly, when he had stayed beside Ye Chuan because of the instruction of Second Elder Nangong Ren, although he said nothing, but unavoidably he somewhat looked down upon Ye Chuan in his heart. But now, he suddenly understood that Ye Chuan was far from as simple as he looked on the outside.
He even knows my life technique Heaven Shaking Nine Swords, moreover understands it deeply, was this discerning ability after reading books?
Now, Nan Tiandu couldn’t see through Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother more and more, and gradually he genuinely respected him.
Returning to Purple Cloud Peak, Ye Chuan sat cross-legged in the study, calmly waiting the time to set out.
Meanwhile, inside the dimly lit underground market, fatty Zhao Dazhi however was bitterly laughing while sitting on the ice-cold floor. When each person passed by in front of him, he would raise his head with expectation, then would despondingly lower his head again. In the stall of other people, there were many superb collections of beautiful things, and even the most incompetent among the other stall also had at least several kinds of things, but it was empty in front of fatty with the exception of one piece of paper pressed down with a stone.
Soon, he had to go to participate the Great Competition, but fatty still desperately wanted to make money, and didn’t dare to let any chance slip by.
Before, he didn’t need to worry about the basics, but now was different. The financial situation of his family had declined and his father was seriously ill, so he truly needed the money. Now, not only he had to feed himself, he also needs to purchase cultivation necessities, moreover also had to think of a way to give financial help to his family.
Ye Chuan had written something in that piece of paper pressed by the stone. But what was it, Fatty was unable to understand it, but Ye Chun had said that it was valuable. So he tried his best to sell it in this underground market. He didn’t have any ability to grow medicinal herbs, and also couldn’t concoct the pills, so he placed all his hope in this piece of paper.
