Tianlong: Starting with Mantuo Manor as fertilizer

Memorizing a poem can get you promoted to a higher room?

If you memorize a few more of the madwoman's poems, wouldn't that mean you're going to abdicate in

Xie Buruo felt a slight sense of pride and gratitude towards compulsory education.

If my teacher hadn't forced me to memorize it, how could I have remembered this poem?

Even so, it had already used up a considerable amount of his limited knowledge.

If Madam Wang were to press further, Xie Buruo would certainly be unable to come up with a suitable poem.

Fortunately, after the eccentric old woman obtained "A Spray of Plum Blossoms," she busied herself calling for writing materials to be brought out and copying it down.

After finishing writing, he stared blankly at the Xuan paper.

Xie Bu Ruo could tell from her delirious, lovestruck appearance that she was thinking of her adulterer, Duan Er, again.

He quickly wiped his mouth, cupped his hands in farewell, and took his leave to avoid being pestered by her to recite poems.

Madam Wang was completely oblivious, staring at the still-wet ink on the paper and laughing foolishly.

……

Xie Buruo was blindfolded and led by Youcao through many twists and turns until they arrived at the Langhuan Jade Cave.

Pulling back the cloth strip, I looked around and saw the bookshelves piled high with new and old books.

The cave is divided into layers by the moon gate.

The first stone chamber is the T-shaped chamber.

Further in, there are rooms C, B, and one room after another.

However, the location of Room A could not be seen, suggesting that it was a separate, secret room.

Xie first walked around the T-shaped room a few times.

The room was filled with a dazzling array of books, too numerous to count.

He flipped through this book and that, his eyes dazzled by the sheer number of choices.

Thanks to the original owner's martial arts foundation, the introductory moves were somewhat understandable.

You can flip through the pages; either the moves become more complex, or they require a deep internal strength to execute.

He gradually became confused and nodded slightly.

It seems that what the madwoman said made sense.

The martial arts manuals stored in Langhuan Jade Cave, regardless of their quality, are the foundation for the survival of various sects and factions in the martial arts world.

Even if a member of our sect possesses the secret manual, they may not be able to easily decipher it, let alone an outsider.

Xie Buruo couldn't help but sigh at how difficult it was to learn martial arts.

After wandering around Ding's room for half a day, I finally found two familiar books.

On the bookshelf in the northwest corner is a book called "Ding Character Sword Manual".

According to the original owner's memories, this sword technique was a unique skill of the Ding brothers.

A month ago, the two of them followed the Western Xia warriors to attack Wuliang Northern Sect, injuring many of Xie Buruo's fellow disciples.

Not far from the sword manual was a copy of "The Thirteen Blades of the Ghost Gate".

Almost every military leader in the Liao Kingdom's Shan Army knew this sword technique.

Wuliang Northern Sect bordered the Liao Kingdom, so Xie Buruo was quite familiar with it.

He casually flipped through a few pages, nodding frequently.

Although his memories as a time traveler told him that these two skills were quite ordinary.

But my body honestly believes that both of these skills have their unique aspects.

Overwhelmed with emotion, he unexpectedly discovered another copy of the "Wuliang Sword Manual" in a corner of the stone chamber.

Although he had expected it, Xie Buruo was still slightly disappointed and couldn't help but sigh.

"So, it turns out our school's swordsmanship is only fit to be displayed here."

He didn't have much affection for the Wuliang Sword Sect.

Now that he possesses the Boundless Sword Technique, he naturally hopes that his sword moves will be as exquisite as possible.

With a solid foundation, diligent study will provide you with additional skills to rely on.

Looking at this sword manual again, the moves are largely the same as what he learned, with only slight differences in the details.

With a thought, Xie Bu Ruo, referring to the manual, used his finger as a sword to perform the move "Golden Needle Tribulation Crossing".

This is a killing move from the Boundless Sword Technique.

It took the original owner more than three months to barely learn it.

Master You Zizhao also used this move to kill the eldest of the Ding brothers by piercing his heart with a single sword strike.

Just as the move was finished, a voice rang out.

"The 'Golden Needle Crossing Tribulation' technique is incorrect; it should be moved three inches to the left and up."

Xie Bu Ruo turned around and saw that the girl who was speaking was a younger version of Madam Wang.

Without even asking, it's obvious that it's her, Wang Yuyan.

Seeing this, Youcao went up to her and said, "Miss, you're here to read again."

Wang Yuyan nodded and took a step to enter the room.

Xie Buruo was overjoyed to have met Wang Yuyan so soon.

If Duan Yu in the original novel is a living sword manual...

Then Wang Yuyan is undoubtedly a walking encyclopedia of martial arts.

She is a treasure trove of jade in herself, and it is no exaggeration to call her a royal treasury.

Xie thought that he should improve his strength as soon as possible to protect himself. In addition to obtaining martial arts manuals such as the Beiming Divine Art, seeking guidance from Wang Yuyan was the most effective way at present.

Her guidance is much better than me just guessing from books.

Xie Buru straightened his face, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Miss Wang!"

Wang Yuyan was always a homebody and disliked meeting strangers. She nodded slightly and was about to leave.

Want to run?

It's not that easy!

But if they tried to keep Xie, she would be sent to be used as fertilizer immediately, so he came up with a plan.

In the original novel, Wang Yuyan, having read extensively on martial arts manuals, would always point out the shortcomings in the techniques of others when she saw them wielding swords.

It's not surprising that such behavior occurs.

She has put so much effort into studying martial arts. If she can't show off her skills and demonstrate her prowess in front of others, wouldn't it be like wearing fine clothes in the dark and wasting all her talent?

"I'm deliberately using the wrong tactics; I'm not afraid I won't get her!"

Having made up his mind, Xie Buruo once again used his fingers as a sword and employed the Boundless Sword Technique.

As Wang Yuyan took a step, she caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye that he was still using "Golden Needle Tribulation Crossing," and the deviation in his moves was not corrected at all.

She couldn't help but purse her lips, unable to contain herself.

Xie Buruo muttered to himself, "It's much more satisfying to use this move!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan could hardly contain herself.

Even her cousin Murong Fu, who was known in the martial arts world as "using their own methods against them," highly praised her martial arts knowledge and would humbly ask her for advice whenever she had any questions about martial arts.

How dare this nameless disciple of the Wuliang Sword Sect openly question her views?

Wang Yuyan was introverted. Although she had already eloquently refuted Xie Buruo's mistakes in her mind, she didn't dare to say it out loud because the other party was an outsider.

After thinking about it, he could only sulk in silence and turned to leave.

Xie Buruo was unaware of her thoughts, assuming that her provocation had failed, and prepared to add fuel to the fire.

Just as she was about to make a few more mistakes to provoke her opponent, Youcao, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but speak up for her young lady.

"Young Master Xie, my young lady's martial arts skills and knowledge are unmatched in the entire martial arts world! Are you aware of the names 'Southern Murong, Northern Qiao Feng'?"

Xie Buruo replied, "Of course I know! Qiao Feng of the North and Murong of the South are the two most prominent heroes in the martial arts world today."

Youcao raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "Young Master Murong and our young lady are relatives. Even he, when encountering difficulties in martial arts, must humbly ask our young lady for guidance."

His expression was as if he were praising his own child for doing well in school.

Wang Yuyan felt satisfied and nodded vigorously in her mind, but her face remained calm, as if she hadn't heard anything at all.

Xie Buruo showed disbelief and slowly shook his head.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Who is Young Master Murong? Miss Wang is so young and doesn't seem to know any martial arts; how could she possibly instruct him?"

As he spoke, Xie Buruo seemed unwilling to talk more, and used another move, "Flying Swallow Returns to Nest".

His swordsmanship was not good to begin with, and this time he deliberately made his movements go awry.

This move, "Flying Swallow Returns to Nest," has lost all its charm and its structure is completely chaotic.

Wang Yuyan felt this was an insult to martial arts, making her feel like she had a thorn in her side and a fishbone stuck in her throat, and she had to speak out.

"You're using the wrong tactic!"
