After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 101 100. Granny Meng, Mysterious Sword Scripture (2.9K words - please subscribe)
There are two libraries in Jianmen, Nanwu, one in the Su family in Piaomiao Haixi, and the other in the Sun family.

Because the Great Elder was a member of the Sun family, and the ancestor of the Su family died in the battle of Thorn Fox, all the important books in the Su family's library were moved to the Sun family.

The island where the Sun family lives is called: Tongque.

On the Tongque Island, a sword rainbow was hanging down. After Song Yan showed his identity token and the token given by Master Kuye Swordsman, he walked into the island smoothly.

He looked left and right, and saw pavilions and towers standing like a forest, nestled in the mist. It was truly as beautiful as a fairyland.

Guanwu Island is the first island upon entering Nanwu Jianmen, while Hongye Island and other seven or eight other large islands serve as the middle barrier. There are only three islands in the back: the Sun family's Tongque Island, the Su family's Goldfish Island, and the Luoxiazhu Island.

In terms of size, these three islands are not as big as the previous ones, but their importance and the masters they contain far surpass those of other islands.

Therefore, when Song Yan walked in, he was extremely cautious and low-key, fearing that he might bump into the Great Elder or other mid-level experts of the Crimson Palace.
Fortunately, the location of the Sun family library is also very secluded, and there are flags placed on all sides to isolate it from detection.

When Song Yan walked into the formation, all the noise outside disappeared.

In the library, many disciples were coming and going, borrowing books.

Books are divided into two types.

One is a jade slip.

The magic spells sealed in jade slips are usually complete systems.

The other is books.

Most of the books contain the experiences and insights of predecessors.

Because magic and cultivation are different. The latter only requires time accumulation and is only related to innate talent and resources; the former requires understanding, so these books are particularly important.

The experience of others, especially the successful experience left by family ancestors, can help future generations avoid many detours.

Song Yan looked up at the five-story library and stepped inside.

Some of the disciples along the way seemed to recognize him, and some even smiled and saluted, but said nothing.
The keeper of the library is a very strict old woman. If anyone makes a loud noise in the library area, the old woman will drive them out directly.

Few of the younger generation probably know the old woman's name, and Song Yan only vaguely knows from his memory that the old woman does not seem to be a member of the Sun family.

He is not a member of the Sun family, but he is looking at the Sun family's attic, which shows that his identity is quite special.

The readers here all call it.
"Mrs. Meng"

Song Yan bowed respectfully and presented the token given by Master Kuye Swordsman.

The old woman had her head down and looked sleepy, but when she saw the token, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Song Yan with lightning speed. She looked at him for a long time, then snorted coldly, and with a snap, she threw out a jade slip from her sleeve and said in an unquestionable tone: "Here, take the secret technique inside!"

Song Yan was stunned.

Granny Meng frowned and said, "You're so nagging. You're just like your teacher.

One wants to give me the secret technique of Jianmen but is so secretive, and the other is still so hesitant.
I am making this clear today, old lady, you must have this secret technique whether you want it or not!"

Song Yan was greatly shocked. He raised his hand and pressed it on the jade slip. He sensed it slightly and the information in it was transmitted.

for a long time
A new piece of information appeared on his [Kung Fu] column.

[Kung Fu]: "Xuanjian Sutra"

While receiving the information, he also roughly understood what the "Xuan Jian Jing" was.

This is the real secret technique of the Nanwu Sword Sect. It is a subsequent technique based on the "Xuanhua Yijian Dian". It is a technique that can only be practiced by those who have seen "my sword" and comprehended the "unity of man and sword". It is also a technique that can be practiced to the late stage of the Crimson Palace.

As a practice, this has a lot of uses, and teaches three things:
1. Convert all your profound energy into sword energy.

What is sword energy?

This energy's five elements tend to be gold, but it does not require innate gold roots. It is extremely sharp, and carries innate offensive power. Once it is exerted, it is far superior to the mysterious energy. If it is matched with a sword-like mysterious treasure, its power will be doubled.

Of course, learning sword energy does not make you lose anything. The spells that you could cast with Xuan Qi in the past can still be cast normally in the future.

2. Condense special sword energy.

Although the Crimson Palace realm is based on the "Nine Palaces Blood", the Nine Palaces Blood is also fixed in the Crimson Palace through the mysterious energy.

And the mysterious energy turned into sword energy.

The sword energy is nurtured by the blood of the Nine Palaces, and it will form a "special sword energy" that is "extremely special and even unique".

The more special the Nine Palaces blood is, the more difficult it is to nurture the sword energy, but its "specialness" is also stronger.

3. Forge a special flying sword.

Although the "special sword energy" can be used alone, if it can be displayed with the corresponding "special flying sword", the power it can exert can be doubled or even several times.

As for how to forge the "special flying sword", it is also described in the "Xuan Jian Jing".

Song Yan didn't know whether it was difficult to form the "special sword energy", but he was very happy in his heart. This was the kind of sword technique he was looking for, which was something that a cultivator in the Crimson Palace Realm should practice. Then, he hurriedly took the "pharmacology" book and left.

Return to Red Leaf Island.

The withered leaf swordsman asked: "Smelly boy, do you have any?"

Song Yan said: "Meng Po Po gave me the Mysterious Sword Scripture."

Master Kuye Swordsman was stunned.

He asked Granny Meng to put out some books of secret techniques, but he didn't let her put out the "Xuan Jian Jing".

The "Xuan Jian Jing" can be said to be the core technique of the Nanwu Sword Sect. Although it is a technique, it can evolve into thousands of methods. Although it is not the supreme and unique skill of the Nanwu Sword Sect, the supreme and unique skill is evolved from this "Xuan Jian Jing".

It can be said that "Xuan Jian Jing" is the trunk of the Nanwu Jianmen sect, and the supreme skills are just the most fruitful fruits on the branches of the trunk.

There are only a few people in the entire Nanwu Jianmen who have the authority to teach the "Xuanjian Jing", and Granny Meng is one of them.

But the number of "teaching places" is also limited.

Unless there are unexpected events, only one person can be awarded the title in three years.

Granny Meng passed it on to Song Yan this year, and she cannot pass it on to anyone else for three years.

Considering the special situation now, which is wartime, it is possible that Song Yan is the last person she will teach.

To some extent, Granny Meng can be called Song Yan's "mentor".

Sword Master Kuye asked, "Did she ask you to call her Master?"

Song Yan shook his head and asked again: "Teacher, you know Granny Meng, right?"

The withered leaf swordsman's eyes showed memories, the corners of his lips curled up with bitterness, he sighed repeatedly, and then said in a cold voice: "Who doesn't recognize her? Stubborn, bad-tempered, strict wife!"

After that, he continued, "Tomorrow, I will give you two boxes of low-quality Xuan tea. You can take them and call her Master."

Seeing Song Yan was stunned, he said again: "The old lady has passed the "Xuanjian Sutra" to you, so you deserve it. Go."

Song Yan said: "Then, teacher, shouldn't we bring some good tea?"

Sword Master Kuye said, "What a waste of words! Anyway, when you see her, you must tell her that I just took the tea casually and I don't want to drink it anymore!"

Song Yan:.
this.
Isn't this old-fashioned?

That night
Master Kuye Swordsman took out two boxes of black tea that he had treasured for many years and was reluctant to drink, and hung them up carefully with silk ropes. He looked left and right before he stopped.

After returning to the bamboo house, Song Yan closed his eyes and flipped through the contents of the "Xuan Jian Jing". The more he read, the more exquisite it seemed to him. It was obvious that the contents were created by a certain force with extremely deep roots, after a long period of time and several generations of geniuses.

Thinking of the broken sword of the ancient teleportation array and the north-south transmission path of the ancient teleportation array, Song Yan couldn't help but wonder: Could this Nanwu Sword Sect be a branch of some sect in the north? But with the disappearance of the ancient teleportation array, has the connection been completely cut off?
But he immediately shook his head. This speculation was groundless and meaningless.

Tonight, he did not plan to practice the Mysterious Sword Scripture for the time being, because he had set his eyes on a copy of the Hidden Sword Art in the Library.

It is a spell for gathering energy, but the entry threshold is much higher than the popular spell "Energy Gathering Spell".

The realm requirement is only the sixth level of Lianxuan, but the implicit requirement is still "the unity of man and sword".

For sword cultivators, if a person cannot integrate with the sword, then all their magic skills will be superficial. Without even getting started, they will naturally not be able to practice the advanced techniques of the corresponding system.

His restraint of Qi, even with the help of talismans, has already reached saturation.
He needs a new method to gather his energy.

The library in Jianmen, Nanwu, gave him the opportunity.

The next day.

Song Yan reappeared in the Tongque Island Library with the Xuan Tea in his hand. He bowed respectfully to the old woman and said, "The teacher said that if you pass on the technique to me, you will also be my master. This is... a gift of tea to you."

Granny Meng snorted coldly, glanced at the tea leaves, and asked, "What kind of tea?"

Song Yan said, "Teacher Kuye has kept this for a long time. He couldn't bear to drink it himself, so he brought it to you. He thought that his disciple didn't know, but in fact, his disciple knows everything."

Granny Meng:
Song Yan slapped his head and continued, "Oh, that's right. Teacher Kuye also specifically asked me to tell you that he took the two boxes of Xuan Tea casually and he didn't want to drink them anymore."

Granny Meng:
Song Yan coughed lightly, imitating the tone and demeanor of Sword Master Kuye, and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Anyway, when you see her, you must say that I just took the tea casually and I don't want to drink it anymore!"

The expression on Meng Po's face began to become strange, and the lines on both sides of her mouth that often drooped began to tremble. Then she couldn't help it and burst into laughter.

She was in a good mood and said, "Boy, go in and borrow some. I'm in a good mood today. If you bring me another spell, I'll pass it on to you."

"Thank you, Mr. Meng."

Song Yanwei bowed and placed the tea leaves on the table. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a look of reminiscence in Granny Meng's eyes.

He walked in quickly, pretended to flip through the pages, and finally chose "The Art of Hidden Swordsmanship". He then took it to the front to register it for his mother-in-law.
