Chapter 59

Ye Xiao began to study the healing technique, quickly mastering it and recording it in the golden book, then started to cultivate it.

When he cultivated it to the Great Perfection stage, the ten sheets of paper inscribed with the basic healing technique would emit a pure golden light.

At that time, they could be synthesized.

After cultivating the healing technique, Ye Xiao felt somewhat relieved.

However, he did not rest but continued to read other types of books.

This time, Ye Xiao planned to study movement techniques.

Previously, he had considered that among survival techniques, those related to forging weapons and refining pills required a lot of money, so he put them aside temporarily and first cultivated the healing technique.

Now, he planned to cultivate a movement technique.

There is a saying, "It's better to run than to fight."

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing is the best strategy!

He didn't necessarily have to be able to defeat others; if he could run fast enough that others couldn't catch him, it would also be a good way to save his life.

Ye Xiao had already learned two basic movement techniques.

However, basic techniques were far from meeting his requirements; only the top-tier techniques synthesized from them would be satisfactory.

After he finished reading, Ning Yuheng also started to read.

However, he soon frowned.

Techniques are graded not only because of the significant differences in their power but also to accommodate beginners.

It is very difficult to start learning from high-level techniques.

The martial philosophy contained in high-level techniques is something that low-level martial artists cannot comprehend.

Ye Xiao often encounters many techniques he can't understand when reading books.

However, he only needs to read them once, and the divine soul of the golden book will automatically record them. He doesn't need to understand them; as long as the divine soul understands them, he understands them.

After he understands them, creating new techniques becomes very simple.

The two techniques he created for Ning Yuheng were both sword techniques. Although they were Extraordinary-level, they were actually very close to Master-level, or Sub-Master-level!

Techniques of this level are usually kept on the fourth floor of the library, guarded by guards, and cannot be casually read by ordinary people.

Only those who have made great contributions or special talents reviewed and rewarded by the City Lord's Office of Jianghai City have the qualifications to access such techniques.

Like Du Changfeng's family's incomplete saber technique, which he donated to the Jiangbei Martial Arts Academy, it was also Sub-Master-level.

Therefore, Sub-Master-level techniques are quite precious and hard to come by, and they are not easy to learn.

Ye Xiao didn't think too much about it. Mainly, his own technique level was too high, far exceeding Master-level techniques. After learning the techniques, his understanding of swordsmanship naturally far exceeded that of ordinary humans. He felt he had already tried to write them as poorly as possible.

But for ordinary people of a different dimension, what he wrote casually was still a precious technique that ordinary people could only dream of.

Just as Ning Yuheng was feeling a headache from reading, a steady male voice suddenly caught his attention.

"Hello, may I ask, how can I borrow books if I'm not from Jianghai City?"

Ning Yuheng looked up and saw the other person, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"Hey, why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"

The other person replied calmly,

"Maybe online? There were some posts and news about me before."

Ning Yuheng suddenly stood up.

"Oh, I remember now. You're Park Jeong-saeng! The sword genius from Hanzhou who swept through the sword geniuses of Jingzhou!"

Park Jeong-saeng nodded.

"Yes, I am Park Jeong-saeng, but saying I swept through the sword geniuses of Jingzhou is an exaggeration.

Jingzhou has many sword geniuses stronger than me. It's just that when everyone is suppressed to the same level, my understanding of swordsmanship is slightly better.

If everyone were to fight at full strength, many people's actual combat abilities would be above mine.

Their swordsmanship is slightly inferior, but their spiritual energy cultivation is much stronger than mine. The rule of suppressing cultivation gave me some advantage."

"That's rare. Everyone says that the people from Hanzhou are all arrogant and boastful, but you are so humble. And your Jiuzhou language is so fluent."

"I actually have only one-eighth Hanzhou blood, and seven-eighths of my blood is from Zhongzhou in Jiuzhou. However... your words are a bit rude. Most people in Hanzhou are indeed shameless, but... you shouldn't say it to my face, as I grew up in Hanzhou.

Moreover, from another perspective, the people of Hanzhou are also descendants of Jiuzhou. It was just that a small part of Jiuzhou people migrated to Hanzhou.

The people of Hanzhou are also descendants of Jiuzhou.

The culture of Hanzhou is basically a copy of the Han culture of Jiuzhou, which should make you understand."

Ning Yuheng's face suddenly turned red.

"It was impolite of me. I apologize."

"I accept your apology."

Ning Yuheng sighed in relief and then said,

"I actually wanted to be your fan before, but because you are from Hanzhou, I have strong patriotic feelings, so I didn't become your fan. Now that you have seven-eighths Hanzhou blood, I think I can be your fan. Can I ask for a signed photo?"

Park Jeong-saeng was silent for a moment and then nodded.

"Great, I'll go get my instant camera. Please wait a moment."

Ning Yuheng quickly ran to his locker. He liked photography, so he always carried his instant camera, which allowed him to print photos immediately, making it very convenient.

Park Jeong-saeng stood there waiting, and his eyes swept over the techniques Ning Yuheng had spread out. Suddenly, his pupils constricted.

"Hmm? This is...?"

He took a step forward and examined it closely, then took a deep breath.

"Excellent sword technique! As expected of Jiuzhou. Although it's only an Extraordinary-level technique, its subtlety is almost at the Master-level, making it a Sub-Master-level sword technique.

This is just a small library in Jianghai City. What kind of world-shaking techniques might be on the upper floors? How many more are there in all of Jiuzhou?"

"Here I come. Mr. Park, I'm here."

Ning Yuheng quickly returned with the camera, but Park Jeong-saeng asked first,

"Is this sword technique from the library?"

Ning Yuheng was taken aback and then pointed to Ye Xiao nearby.

"No, this is a technique my supervisor gave me in exchange."

Park Jeong-saeng looked at Ye Xiao, somewhat surprised. Using a technique of this level for an exchange?

He must be out of his mind!

He immediately picked up the technique and walked over to Ye Xiao.

"Sir, are these two techniques yours?"

Ye Xiao looked up, recognized him as Park Jeong-saeng, and just nodded.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to know, did you create these two techniques yourself, or...?"

Ye Xiao paused. Why was Park Jeong-saeng so concerned about these two techniques?

They were just Extraordinary-level techniques. He had tried to write them as poorly as possible. Could it be... he had leaked something?

He shook his head.

"Not me. I haven't awakened my divine soul yet; I'm only at the Second Rank of the Postnatal stage. How could I write techniques? I bought them from someone else."

"I see."

Park Jeong-saeng understood why Ye Xiao would exchange such a precious sword technique. It was because his cultivation was too low, and he couldn't understand the value of the technique. Otherwise, he would never have traded it.

"Then... from whom did you buy this technique?"

"Um..."

Ye Xiao thought for a moment. It seemed he had overdone it. Well, time to use the scapegoat tactic!

Thinking this, he immediately said seriously,

"His name is Zhang San!"

"Zhang San?"

Park Jeong-saeng frowned.

"That doesn't make sense. How could someone who can write such a technique have such a common name? He should be a renowned senior in the martial world!"

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and then said,

"He has a nickname, 'Lawless Rogue'!"
