Tianlong: Starting with Mantuo Manor as fertilizer

Is it not the sword technique of the Wuliang Sect?

Xie was prepared for this.

When the Wuliang Northern Sect took over Jianhu Palace, its disciples would go to the Wuliang Jade Wall every day to watch the immortals dancing with swords on the wall.

The so-called immortals are not true immortals.

However, they were Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui, who lived in seclusion at the bottom of Jianhu Palace.

This couple likes to practice swordplay for fun whenever they have nothing to do.

The light reflected off the jade wall, and the sword's shadow fell precisely on it.

Those bumpkins from the Wuliang Sword Sect have never seen such exquisite swordsmanship before.

They assumed it was a supreme sword technique personally taught by a celestial being.

Unfortunately, Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui drew their swords too quickly, and the sword shadows on the jade wall became blurry.

Even with their painstaking efforts to comprehend it, the disciples of Wuliang Sword gained very little.

Xie Bu Ruo pondered this in his heart.

The Immortal Points the Way is a remnant of the Free and Unfettered Sect's technique, which the Wuliang Northern Sect comprehended on the jade disc.

If they had truly mastered the sword techniques, the Northern School wouldn't have been defeated by the Eastern and Western Schools in later sword duels and forced to flee to Shanxi.

Was it because he hadn't yet mastered this sword move at that time?

Or is there something else?

The inside story is complicated and secretive, and there are very few clues.

Xie thought for a moment, but still couldn't come up with any clues, so he simply stopped wasting his energy.

Besides, it wasn't a very important matter to begin with.

He was more concerned about whether the last move of the sword manual, "Immortal Points the Way," was actually a martial art of the Free and Unfettered Sect.

If it truly originated from the Free and Unfettered Sect, its power would likely far surpass ninety percent of the skills found in the Jade Cave of Langhuan.

Xie Ruo turned to look at Wang Yuyan.

"If it's not the swordplay of the Wuliang Sect, then which sect is it?"

Wang Yuyan frowned.

With her extensive knowledge, she could only discern that this sword technique was exceptionally powerful, far surpassing ordinary sword techniques.

The moves and styles were unlike any of the other schools I had ever seen, yet they seemed somewhat familiar.

She paused for a moment before speaking, "This sword technique is somewhat similar to the swordsmanship my mother taught me. However, their intentions are different. The former's killing intent is concealed, and its moves are complex. The latter, on the other hand, is sharp and unrestrained, with simple moves. There is quite a difference between the two."

Hearing this, Xie Buruo became even more certain.

The Immortal Pointing the Way must be a remnant of the Free and Unfettered Sect!

As the biological daughter of Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui, Madam Wang should have been familiar with the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect.

However, the couple had become enemies when she was a child.

Wu Yazi fell off a cliff and became paralyzed, while Li Qiushui went to Western Xia to find a new love.

Although Madam Wang came from a family with a long tradition of martial arts, she was a left-behind child and was unable to receive the true teachings of superior martial arts.

Although she guarded the Langhuan Jade Cave, a treasure trove of martial arts, she devoted more than ten times the effort to cultivating camellias than to studying martial arts.

Otherwise, she could have used force to abduct Duan Zhengchun from Dali and kept him as a mistress.

Wang Yuyan kept staring at that page of the sword manual.

He gestured with his fingers, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head.

After a while, she sighed and handed the sword manual back to Xie Buruo.

"This sword move is too incomplete, with many words deliberately written incorrectly, and there are even omissions. I can't deduce it for the time being."

"Deliberately misspelled it?" Xie Buruo was taken aback.

"It must have been written wrong on purpose," Wang Yuyan said with certainty.

Xie Buruo had great faith in Wang Yuyan's insight into martial arts.

If she said it was intentional, then it must have been intentional.

In an instant, he realized what was happening, and immediately flew into a rage, cursing loudly.

"You old scoundrel! You actually gave me a fake sword manual!"

He understood completely.

The original owner was tricked by her master, You Zizhao.

It's possible that the old man told each of his disciples individually that he had entrusted the True Sword Manual to them.

You old fool! You won't have any paper money for Qingming Festival this year!

Youcao and Wang Yuyan were startled by his loud scream.

Especially Wang Yuyan.

Her face remained impassive, but she was terrified. Like a ghost, she silently slid behind Youcao and gently tried to comfort her.

"That sword technique, though deliberately faked, wasn't particularly sophisticated. The person who faked it seemed afraid others wouldn't believe it, so they deliberately made it appear more real than fake. By inferring the truth from the fake, it's not impossible to replicate. You don't need to get so angry."

Xie Buruo was overjoyed upon hearing this: "You can deduce the real move?"

Wang Yuyan said, "I'm about 70% sure. However..."

"But what?"

"This move is ingenious and complex, and it also contains the principles of Yin and Yang in the Book of Changes. My understanding of the Book of Changes is not deep enough, so I'm afraid I can't deduce it in a short time; it will take some time."

Upon hearing this, Xie Buruo shoved the sword manual into Wang Yuyan's hand without saying a word.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Wang!"

Xie Buruo's generosity surprised Wang Yuyan.

Although she was inexperienced in the ways of the world, she knew that people in the martial arts world valued martial arts manuals very highly.

Especially Xie Buruo in front of him, all he has left is this tattered manual.

Compared to Wang Yuyan, who possessed the Langhuan Jade Cave.

He Xie Buruo was nothing but a complete pauper, a stinking beggar.

But this poor wretch, without any suspicion, stuffed his most treasured possession into her hands.

Wang Yuyan suddenly realized that she had been petty.

But she didn't know.

If Xie Buruo hadn't known she was an honest person and respected her martial arts knowledge, he would never have so easily handed over the secret manual based on just a few words.

Wang Yuyan immediately accepted the sword manual.

Firstly, she is not good at refusing.

Secondly, she had been immersed in martial arts for many years, and even if she didn't like it at first, it had long since become her specialty.

This "Immortal's Guidance" move was exceptionally ingenious, which sparked her interest in studying it.

Seeing that the other party had accepted the secret manual, Xie Buruo seized the opportunity and continued to exploit them.

"Miss Wang, thanks to Madam's permission, I have been able to study in the Langhuan Jade Cave. Unfortunately, my knowledge is too shallow, and I can't understand many of the books. Would you recommend some martial arts manuals that even a monkey could understand?"

After saying that, he added another sentence.

"I have some enemies in the martial arts world. If there were any quick-learning techniques, that would be perfect."

Cannibals have short mouths and short hands.

Furthermore, since recommending books to others was one of the greatest joys of Wang Yuyan's life, she immediately began to talk on and on.

"In Room B there is a book called 'Five Pecks of Rice Divine Skill,' which can be practiced to the point of rapid progress. However, the method of practice is against nature and morality. Although this kind of skill is incredibly powerful in the early stages, it will also create great hidden dangers. If you are not careful, it will backfire and harm yourself."

Xie Bu Ruo is not very concerned about harming the natural order, but he is very concerned about harming himself.

He immediately shook his head, speaking with righteous indignation.

"I won't practice! I won't practice! I, Xie, am a disciple of a prestigious and righteous sect; how could I do something so immoral and unethical!"

Wang Yuyan nodded in admiration of his character, and then said...

"The more profound and superior the martial arts, the harder it is to master quickly. Young master, you should first diligently practice our school's sword techniques. I will also provide you with a list of books for your reference to help you solidify your foundation, so that you can achieve twice the results with half the effort when reading other books in the future."

Wang Yuyan walked to the table in the room, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write as she spoke.

"This book, 'The Profound and Subtle Essentials,' may not be a particularly remarkable internal energy cultivation method, but it is an excellent introductory text. It progresses from simple to complex. If you compare it with the internal energy cultivation of our sect, you will surely benefit greatly."

"Since you use a sword, then take another look at 'The Twelve Essentials of Swordplay' and 'An Initial Explanation of the Sword Classic'..."
