Chapter 1053 Dragon Taming
"What do you want most, sir?" Hu Yunni asked with a charming smile.

"My swordsmanship is alright, and my lightness skill is also good, but my mental cultivation is a bit lacking," Leng Tieya thought for a moment, "Do you have any ancient Dragon Subduing Sect mental cultivation techniques?"

Hu Yunni chuckled and said, "It seems that you have thought it through very clearly, sir."

Leng Tieya laughed and said, "If we have the opportunity to study these remains, they might be compatible with the cultivation method of the Dragon Subduing Sect."

Hu Yunni said, "The mental cultivation methods of ancient sects are often very difficult to master."

"Oh--?"

“In the ancient times of the sects, the world was said to be different from what it is now. Cultivators had higher aptitudes and the threshold for cultivation methods was also higher.”

"Can't train?"

"Very few can master it, just like the Qingwei Mingxin Technique... However, since you, sir, have mastered the Qingwei Mingxin Technique, your talent is astonishing, and you may not be unable to master the ancient sect's mental cultivation method."

Miao Qingjie agreed: "Mr. Sun's qualifications are indeed amazing."

The same sword technique, practiced by different practitioners at different levels and with different realms, will have vastly different power.

Mr. Sun's swordsmanship is so powerful that he should have become famous throughout the world long ago.

It's obvious that its original power wasn't that strong; it was just that Mr. Sun trained it to this extent.

Moreover, even a prodigy like Junior Sister Hu couldn't sense the aura of the remains, but he could.

All of this proves that Mr. Sun is a once-in-a-millennium genius.

Unfortunately, he was unable to become a disciple of Zhaixing Cliff, and that is no longer possible.

Leng Tieya asked, "Miss Hu, does Zhaixing Cliff possess the ancient Dragon Subduing Sect's cultivation method?"

“…Yes.” Hu Yunni nodded gently, “But there’s no way to master it.”

Miao Qingjie laughed and said, "Junior sister, perhaps Mr. Sun can master it."

Hu Yunni said, "Then I'll give it a try."

She turned and left.

Miao Qingjie hurriedly followed, and before leaving, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Their extrasensory perception was constantly shining upon them.

Miao Qingjie asked, "Junior Sister, would the sect agree to pass on the Dragon Subduing Sect's cultivation method to Mr. Sun?"

“It’s difficult,” Hu Yunni said.

“Then…” Miao Qingjie hurriedly said, “Why not just tell Mr. Sun directly?”

"I'll try to persuade the elders again," Hu Yunni said. "After all, they've helped us a lot; we can't let them down."

“That’s right, that’s right.” Miao Qingjie nodded hurriedly: “Without Mr. Sun, we wouldn’t have been able to find the remains, and the Dragon Subduing Sect’s cultivation method wouldn’t be valuable. Now that we’ve found the remains, the Dragon Subduing Sect’s cultivation method has become valuable, but instead we’re not giving it to Mr. Sun, that’s just too unfair!”

“Tell the elders this.”

"I wouldn't dare."

"Look at your audacity."

"Hey, the elders' eyes are so bright that I can't even breathe. How could I dare to do anything reckless?"

Junior Sister Hu has the confidence to be willful, and is doted on by both the elders and the sect leader.

But I am just an ordinary person, and if I dare to say something out of line, I will be scolded at best and punished at worst.

Hu Yunni rolled her eyes at him: "Fine, I'll go tell the elders!"

……

Leng Tieya smiled and shook his head.

Because of the remains, the ancient Dragon Subduing Sect's cultivation method has become highly sought after.

In the past, this ancient Dragon Subduing Sect mental cultivation method would not have been worth much.

As the tide rises, so does every boat; in the end, you hurt yourself.

He had a feeling that Zhaixing Cliff would be generous this time, after all, the Dragon Subduing Sect's mental cultivation method was not so easy to learn.

An hour later, Hu Yunni returned, carrying a dark green box about a foot square.

The dark green box has intricate patterns and exudes an air of antiquity; you can feel its chill even from a few steps away.

She walked to a stone table under some pine trees and placed it on the table: "This is the Dragon Subduing Sect's mental cultivation manual."

Leng Tieya examined the dark green box, feeling that the material was like ice jade: "Is the name 'Dragon Subduing Technique'?"

This black jade is made of the same ice jade that Chu Liezhao stole from the demon realm.

"The sect is named after the Dragon Subduer, and its core technique is said to be the Dragon Taming Technique. You may not be able to recognize the characters on it."

She gently pressed her palms on the dark green box, each palm pressing a different spot.

A flurry of button presses, and with a "snap," the dark green box opened.

Suddenly, the icy aura intensified.

Leng Tieya glanced at the thin gold book stored inside.

Under the influence of extrasensory perception, the material of this golden book is special; it is neither gold nor bronze, but a denser and brighter material similar to gold.

It looks bright yellow, brand new and shiny, without any signs of age.

He turned to look at Hu Yunni. Hu Yunni said, "That's right, it's that one."

"This isn't a copy, is it?" Leng Tieya laughed. "Actually, just showing me the copy would suffice; I trust Zhaixingya."

“It’s not that I don’t want to show you the copy, it’s that I can’t copy it,” Hu Yunni said. “This mental cultivation method is very strange.”

Leng Tieya suddenly realized.

He had indeed seen secret manuals that were impossible to copy, and there was more than one.

This further illustrates the extraordinary nature of this object.

Hu Yunni said, "Let's see. The first step is to see if you can open it."

Leng Tieya raised an eyebrow: "Can't open it?"

Hu Yunni said, "Not everyone can open it. You can try, but if you can't open it, you can't cultivate."

Leng Tieya asked with a smile, "Miss Hu, have you opened it?"

"Well, I managed to open it and saw the cultivation method inside, but I don't recognize the words, so I can't practice it."

Leng Tieya laughed and said, "If you don't even recognize Miss Hu, I'm afraid I'm even less likely to recognize her."

The super-sensory perception can only see the material of the golden book, but not its contents.

The content was shrouded in an invisible force, a hazy, empty space.

This convinced him that the manual was genuine and not a deception.

Hu Yunni said, "That's not necessarily true. Why don't you give it a try, sir?"

Leng Tieya nodded slowly, reached out and took the golden book out of the jade box, which felt heavy in his hand.

The actual weight is more than ten times what it appears to be.

He had just picked it up and was about to hold it in front of his eyes when he noticed that the golden book was rapidly becoming heavier and more cumbersome.

With each inch it moved away from the jade box, it became heavier, until it reached him and had become a hundred times heavier.

If it weren't for his immense strength, he would have been crushed and unable to hold onto it.

Hu Yunni looked on with a smile, her eyes sparkling. Seeing Leng Tieya's nonchalant expression, she asked with a smile, "Sir, can you open it?"

Leng Tieya smiled as he turned the pages of the book.

The pages, however, are a single piece, as if welded together and inseparable.

He knew what to do after a moment's thought, and channeled his energy into the pages of the book.

The pages began to glow, growing brighter and brighter, and the weight rapidly decreased.

Leng Tieya continued to exert his power, and it eventually became as light as a feather.

But I still couldn't open the book; it remained a single, solid page.

Leng Tieya suspected that this might be something that couldn't be opened, or that it required the infusion of spiritual energy.

He then focused intently on the pages of the book.

Suddenly, a series of paintings appeared before my eyes, each depicting a strange pose.

Beside the strange posture were a few words written in a language he did not recognize.

Leng Tieya was astonished.

He now possesses a profound understanding of writing, comparable to the most learned scholar in the Demon Realm, given the vast amount of Soul Bead memories he has accumulated.

But I still don't recognize these characters.

It was neither divine script nor any ancient script he had ever seen.

He closed his eyes and slowly put down the golden book.

The golden book regained its luster, no longer shining like the morning sun.

Leng Tieya seemed to be thinking, then shook his head and opened his eyes: "I really don't recognize him."

“The elders don’t recognize it either,” Hu Yunni said. “The breakthrough might lie in the remains.”

Leng Tieya pondered: "Remains..."

Hu Yunni said, "With the spiritual power of the remains, we might be able to recognize the characters on them."

Leng Tieya nodded slowly: "That's possible... So, regardless of the text, what about simply practicing those postures?"

“No.” Hu Yunni shook her head: “Practicing it would lead to qi deviation, which is extremely dangerous.”

Leng Tieya pondered, "Have we tried a few more?"

"Many senior students have tried it, including me, and it was very painful for them."

Leng Tieya frowned.

"Sir, you must find a way to understand this text before you start practicing. You cannot start practicing rashly."

“Yes, I understand.” Leng Tieya nodded.

Hu Yunni gave him a deep look, guessing that he would be unconvinced, and secretly tried to cultivate herself.

You'll know what it's like when the time comes.
