What a lucky world!

Chapter 132: Please pass this sword technique on to Brother Wei...

"Brother Zhang, please come in!"

Ye Hanzhou led Zhang Mu to his residence and warmly invited Zhang Mu.

This is a small courtyard in the mountains outside Lanling City. To put it nicely, the environment is quiet and peaceful, but to put it bluntly, it is deserted.

"We originally had property in the city," Ye Hanzhou said as he made tea for Zhang Mu. "Then the owner said the city was prosperous and he wanted to focus on martial arts, so he took back the property."

Zhang Mu smiled when he heard this, knowing that it was an excuse.

In Ye Hanzhou's opinion, the owner's uncle was probably worried that his unworthy father would ruin the property. However, since a son should not blame his father, it was difficult to disclose the situation to Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu looked at the courtyard carefully. It was the same courtyard he often saw when he was deducing Ye Hanzhou. The only thing he had never seen before was the couplet in front of the main courtyard.

There are sorrows in front of and behind the mountains, and neither is free with or without wind.

The characters are like they were carved with a knife, revealing the awe-inspiring sword intent.

Seeing Zhang Mu's eyes fall on the couplet, Ye Hanzhou's eyes revealed a sense of melancholy. He sighed softly and said, "Brother Zhang, shall we begin?"

Zhang Mu retracted his gaze, nodded, and said with a smile: "I wonder how to sharpen the knife at Fenglin Villa? Is it okay to fight with you?"

Upon hearing the serious matter, Ye Hanzhou's face became serious. He casually took out a long sword placed in the yard. With a thought, Zhang Mu immediately saw a faint light appear on the sword, covering the blade.

"Blade light?" Zhang Mu was surprised.

He knew that this blade light could only be manifested after reaching the Yangye Realm. To be able to cultivate it at the Tongmai Realm was to be a true genius.

If there really was a sword light, Ye Hanzhou would not have been treated like this in Fenglin Villa.

"It's not the blade's light!" Ye Hanzhou shook his head. "This is the special feature of my Fenglin Villa's Wanmo Sword Technique."

"The Ten Thousand Refining Sword Technique is just an ordinary martial art. The next level up is the Thousand Refining Sword Technique, which is a unique martial art that only the core disciples can practice."

"The special thing about this sword technique is that through a special mental method, we can condense a sword shadow. By fighting with others, we can condense the sword shadow and transform it into sword intent. We can then absorb the sword intent to enhance our own strength."

“We call this process sharpening the knife!”

"Is that so..." Zhang Mu nodded, picked up a knife from the side, and made a stance of concealing the blade, "Then let's begin!"

Ye Hanzhou nodded and immediately stepped forward with his sword.

For a moment, the courtyard was filled with the sound of blades clashing, and crackling sounds sparked little sparks of fire.

……

Inn.

Zhuge Nanxian was holding the still unconscious Xuan Ji and directing the waiter to bring in the medicinal herbs she had just bought.

A donkey slowly passed by the entrance of the inn. Suddenly, a surprised cry came from the donkey: "Zhuge girl, we are destined to meet again..."

Zhuge Nanxian was startled and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw the old man Qin, whom he had met in the roadside teahouse before, waving at him. His face suddenly changed, and he turned around, and his figure turned into several afterimages and disappeared.

Old Man Qin frowned slightly and touched his face with his hand.

"Is this old man so scary?"

As he spoke, Old Man Qin patted the donkey under him. The donkey's eyes immediately turned blood red. The next moment, the donkey took a step forward and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

……

On a deserted street, Zhuge Nanxian stopped and took a few breaths.

"That was a close call! I was almost caught up by that old man!"

But just as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of Old Man Qin: "Zhuge girl, I'm not going to eat you, why are you running so fast?"

Zhuge Nanxian turned around and saw Old Man Qin sitting on the donkey, smoking a pipe and looking at her with a smile.

Zhuge Nanxian glanced at the donkey and said with a pout, "A dignified singing man, riding a dragon to chase a little girl like me, you have no shame in telling others..."

Old Man Qin exhaled a puff of white smoke and said with a smile: "I'm old now, why call me Kuang Gesheng anymore? You should just call me Old Man Qin..."

"Or would you run for another stick of incense?"

Zhuge Nanxian curled his lips, walked up to Old Man Qin, and bowed respectfully: "I am the 36th generation direct descendant of Tiannan City, Zhuge Nanxian, and I am honored to meet the Grandmaster!"

Old Man Qin accepted Zhuge Nanxian's greeting with a smile and said, "If we hadn't met, it would have been fate. Now that we meet again today, it seems our relationship as master and disciple was destined."

"I want to take you in as my disciple and teach you my unique swordsmanship. Why don't you accept?"

"You think your Zhuge family's Dayan Sword Technique is better than my Taege Sword Technique, so you look down on it, right?"

Zhuge Nanxian quickly shook his head and said, "Absolutely not!"

"My second uncle once commented on the world's sword techniques with me!"

"He said, speaking solely of swordsmanship, Dayan is the most profound, Yaori is the fastest, Jietian is the most ruthless, and your Taege sword technique, Grandmaster, is the most elegant..."

"Hahahaha..." Old Man Qin laughed loudly. "I can tell from listening to it that Zhuge Lao Er puts the Taegeuk Sword Technique in the second tier. But this is the most elegant and pleasant to listen to..."

"I will teach you the sword technique, and you won't lose anything. When I die one day, this Taege Sword Technique can also be passed down to your Tiannan City. Zhuge Lao Er will definitely agree."

"No, no, no..." Zhuge Nanxian waved his hands quickly, "You misunderstood."

"Ah?" Old Man Qin looked puzzled. "What's the misunderstanding?" "It's not that my family doesn't allow me to study, it's that I don't want to study." Zhuge Nanxian said with a bitter face, "Why do you think I ran away from home?"

"I just don't want to learn swordsmanship..."

“They forced me to learn.”

“I can’t concentrate on studying…”

"Swordsmanship... is too difficult..."

After hearing these words, Old Man Qin looked confused.

What do you mean?
You are already well versed in swordsmanship, don't you want to learn swordsmanship?
Isn't this a waste of natural resources?

"Then... what do you want to learn?" asked Old Man Qin.

"My mother and her friends' martial arts..." Zhuge Nanxian's eyes suddenly lit up when he spoke of this. "The martial arts of the Nanzhao tribe are no worse than those of Tiannan City. Those little poisonous creatures are so cute..."

"Look, I've learned the Mysterious Yin Finger and the Five Poison Palm now, and next grandpa is going to teach me the Nine Yin Sky Claw..."

"How can I have the time to learn swordsmanship..."

Grandmaster Qin: (￣□￣；)
"But, you have a clear mind for swordsmanship and are a potential sword immortal..."

"I didn't choose Sword Heart, I don't like swordsmanship, you can't force me to like it..."

"But……"

"Master Qin, would you force yourself to like someone you don't like?"

"what?"

"Grandpa Qin, I know the Taegeuk Sword Technique is very powerful, but I just don't like it..."

Grandmaster Qin looked at Zhuge Nanxian and was speechless for a moment.

He thought that the Zhuge family didn't allow him to learn, and he also thought that there was some martial arts conflict.

Unexpectedly, the girl's answer was: I don't like it.

But then again, as the little princess of Tiannan City and the holy lady of the Nanzhao tribe, she is really qualified to say this.

After all, she can really choose the unique skills in the hands of these two forces.

Seeing that Old Man Qin didn't say anything, Zhuge Nanxian rolled his eyes, walked up to him, grabbed Old Man Qin's sleeve, and shook it, calling sweetly, "Grandpa Qin..."

"Don't comfort me..."

"No, aren't you just looking for a successor? What do you think of Brother Wei?"

"Brother Wei? Which Brother Wei?"

"That's the guy who was with me." Zhuge Nanxian said with a smile, "He's not even twenty yet, and he's already broken through to the Yangye Realm. In our Tiannan City, he's considered a genius."

"I see that apart from his spear technique, his other martial arts are just average. Why don't you teach him your Taegeuk sword technique..."

Old Man Qin frowned. "No... you little girl, do you think that no one wants my sword skills? Are you just going to send him away? Is he a master of swordsmanship? If not, why would I teach him..."

"What's so great about having a clear swordsmanship? Isn't it just that you can comprehend sword techniques faster?" Zhuge Nanxian said, "I think Brother Wei is also very insightful. He's almost grasped the essence of that unique spear technique..."

"Oh?" Hearing Zhuge Nanxian's words, Old Man Qin became a little interested. "Then... I can give it a try..."

"But, girl, do you know that you are giving up a great opportunity..."

"Could it be that he is your lover?"

Zhuge Nanxian quickly waved his hands: "Old Qin, even if you are a Grandmaster, you can't speak carelessly..."

"Brother Wei and I are innocent and our friendship is as pure as water. It's just that he takes care of me, and I'm just repaying him!"

Old Man Qin: Yes, yes, yes, you repay me.

"Don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, I will go back and tell my second uncle that you are using me to match people up!" Zhuge Nanxian warned again.

Old Man Qin: (￣ー￣)
It’s hateful that I was threatened by a little girl!

"I'll take you to find him!" Zhuge Nanxian quickly patted the donkey's head, "Dailong, let's go back..."

Old Man Qin sighed: "I was the one who asked it to chase you, and what kind of poison did you give it?"

Zhuge Nanxian was bewildered. "Ah? What kind of poison? How could someone so easily poison a pretty girl like me?"

Old Man Qin looked at Zhuge Nanxian. After a while, Zhuge Nanxian gave Old Man Qin a thumbs up:

"As expected of a Grandmaster, you've figured this out..."

"Nothing much, just some herbs to cleanse the stomach."

"I'll help him when I get back."

Jiao Donkey: (￣ω￣;)
Master, do you really have to go with this little girl?

I'm very anxious...
