He took Lin Feng's "Qingyuan Sword Manual" and his own "Flowing Cloud Steps" and went to find the other scholars one by one.

"Brother, how about we copy each other's secret techniques? I'll make two copies, you make one, okay?"

Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up.

Only a fool wouldn't do something so good.

They each only had one copy, but now they can directly copy three copies, which means each person gets three copies, so of course they're happy to do so.

Of course, Gao Yaolin had approached Wu Changning and Wu Jian before, but the two of them coldly refused.

Wu Changning snorted coldly, not even glancing at him.

Wu Jian frowned and said, "Don't bite off more than you can chew. One book is enough for me."

When Lin Feng returned to the house, he walked through the front yard, around the screen wall, and arrived at the main house.

Xueyao, Su Shi, and Su Qin were chatting and drinking tea in the hall when they saw him enter and they all stood up to greet him.

"Young master is back."

Lin Feng nodded, sat down in the armchair, and waved to them.

"Come here, everyone. I have a task for you."

The three women gathered around him, looking at him curiously.

Lin Feng took out his phone from his pocket, opened the video and started playing it.

"Copy all the tips and tricks from the video."

He handed the phone to the three women.

Xueyao took the phone, looked down, and froze.

Inside that tiny "box," there were actually moving images.

The secret manual was laid out clearly and plainly, as if someone were showing it to her in a book.

"Heavens, young master..." Xueyao's eyes widened, her voice trembling, "How can there be images in this box? And the images are so clear, as if I were there, as if I saw it with my own eyes."

Su Shi and Su Qin also came over to look, and were equally dumbfounded.

"Young master, is this a celestial artifact?" Su Shi asked cautiously, her eyes filled with awe.

Su Qin nodded repeatedly: "It must be a treasure from the immortals. How could an ordinary person possibly have such a thing?"

Lin Feng smiled, too lazy to explain, and casually said, "That's right, it's a celestial object."

"For it to operate, it needs the power of the Thunder God."

He didn't explain much, but took the phone and demonstrated to them how to pause, zoom in, and rewind.

"Have you learned it?"

Just copy it like that.

One book at a time, no rush.

The three women exchanged a glance and nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry, young master, we will definitely copy it carefully."

Su Shi and Su Qin were both courtesans, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Copying books was a piece of cake for them.

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

Outside the window, the sun is shining brightly.

A few birds chirped in the courtyard, their calls clear and melodious.

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

Twenty innate cultivation techniques and hundreds of acquired secret manuals were obtained just like that.

I can skip practicing, but I can't skip copying.

Collecting secret manuals is also a kind of fun.

Lin Feng still had many secrets in his mind, and he was thinking about organizing them sometime.

Sometimes when you're broke, you can even exchange secret manuals for money.

But the time when you're short of money will probably be very short.

Lin Feng is now at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, so he definitely has the ability to protect himself.

It's no longer like when we first arrived, when we needed to be extremely careful.

Now it doesn't matter what I want to trade.

When I first arrived, I had no ability to protect myself. If I had tried to exchange glass beads or something for the courtesan, I probably would have been targeted long ago.

The next morning, Lin Feng washed up and changed clothes with Xiao Tao's help, preparing to go out for the banquet.

He had just stepped out of the room when he saw a faint candlelight coming from the direction of the study.

Lin Feng walked over and gently pushed open the study door.

The moment the door opened, the wind slipped in as well.

The flickering candlelight and the scene that came into view made him pause slightly.

Xueyao, Su Shi, and Su Qin were fast asleep, lying on the desk.

Xueyao rested her head on her arm, a trace of glistening on her lips.

Su Shi turned her face to the side, her brows slightly furrowed.

Su Qin simply lay down on the pile of Xuan paper, her face pressed against the still-wet ink of the characters, leaving several faint black marks.

Several candles on the desk had already burned out, and the candle wax had pooled into small mounds on the candlesticks. The newly replaced candles on the candlesticks next to it were also almost burned to the bottom.

The table was covered with neatly copied Xuan paper, stacked up to half a foot high.

Lin Feng approached, casually picked up a piece of paper, looked at its neat and elegant small regular script, and copied down the secret manual word for word.

Looking at the other one, it's just as neat.

The three women stayed up all night copying books.

Lin Feng did not wake them up.

They simply tiptoed out quietly.

After leaving the study, he called Xiao Tao over and whispered, "The weather is getting colder. Go and cover them with thick clothes so they don't catch a cold."

Be quiet, don't wake them.

"Yes, young master." Xiao Tao nodded obediently.

Lin Feng added, "By the way, tell them that there's no rush to copy the book; they can take their time."

There's no need to stay up late.

"Yes, young master." Xiao Tao replied and turned to tiptoe towards the study.

Lin Feng straightened his robes and headed out towards the governor's mansion.

In front of the governor's mansion, carriages and horses came and went in an endless stream.

As soon as Lin Feng arrived at the door, he saw Gao Yaolin standing on the steps, craning his neck and looking around.

Upon seeing him arrive, Gao Yaolin's eyes lit up, and he waved excitedly at him.

"Brother Lin! Over here!"

Lin Feng walked over, and Gao Yaolin immediately took out three secret manuals from his pocket and handed them over with both hands.

"Brother Lin, this is your original copy, and these two copies as well—one is my handwritten copy of 'Flowing Cloud Steps,' and the other is your handwritten copy of 'Azure Origin Sword Manual.'"

I've copied it all down for you, take a look.

Lin Feng took it and flipped through it casually.

The handwriting is neat and the content is complete; it's clear that they put a lot of effort into it.

He nodded, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Brother Gao."

Gao Yaolin quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Lin, you're too kind. We're both from Liangzhou. When we go to the capital, we'll have to look after each other."

This is a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.

He paused, moved closer to Lin Feng, lowered his voice, and spoke with a hint of sincerity.

"To be honest, Brother Lin, don't be fooled by Wu Jian and Wu Changning's high rankings; one is first and the other is second."

But in my heart, Brother Lin is truly number one.

To be unassuming and not seek empty fame—that is the true demeanor of a master.

This wasn't just a compliment.

Although Gao Yaolin's skills were average, his family was wealthy enough to hire experts.

The bodyguard his father assigned him was a genuine late-stage innate master with incredibly sharp eyesight.

After watching a few matches, the bodyguard told him privately, "That Lin Feng is no ordinary person; he's unfathomable."

Gao Yaolin is a shrewd man; upon hearing this, he immediately knew who to cultivate a good relationship with.

Lin Feng glanced at him, smiled faintly, and didn't respond.

"Alright, let's go in."

"Okay!"

The two men presented their bronze badges identifying them as martial arts graduates. After verification at the registration desk at the entrance, they were led inside by guards.

After passing through several corridors, the two were led to the back garden.

The manual had already been handed over.

There were already quite a few people waiting in the park.
