1958 Third Young Master's Swordsmanship
"Congratulations, Elder Lu!"
Hearing someone entering the residence, Dan Xiaotian walked out as well . He quickly noticed that something was different about Elder Lu, so he clasped his fist and offered his congratulations .
"Hahaha, it's all thanks to your blessing!" Elder Lu Yun chuckled . "Right, I have just returned from the Elder Council, and here is the token that represents your identity . With this, as long as you have sufficient Sword Pavilion Coins, you'll be able to access the library and other facilities! It's also a necessity if you wish to undergo any of the trial and earn some rewards .
"As for this storage ring over here, it's my personal gift to you . The gifts from the sect for becoming an inner disciple are within it . There are five Basic Immortal Pills, a bottle of recovery medicine, and a bottle of zhenqi pills!"
Taking the token and storage ring from Elder Lu, Dan Xiaotian's eyes lit up, and he quickly said his thanks .
Seeing that there were so many benefits to becoming an inner disciple, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows twitched a little .
Of course, he knew that those benefits did not come for free . Accepting those gifts meant shouldering the responsibilities that came with them . There was no such thing a free lunch in the world .
He could earn money quickly in the Ethereal Hall anyway, so it was not as if he was particularly envious of Dan Xiaotian or anything .
"This is the sect's cultivation technique and the Ascendant Cloud Sword Formula . You can try practicing them yourself first . If you have any doubts, feel free to come to me!" Elder Lu Yun said as he passed another two books over .
"The cultivation technique of our Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion is called the Art of Ascendant Clouds . It's well- known for its might even across the entire continent . Our swordsmanship is, of course, number one in the world . However, just because the cultivation technique and sword art are formidable doesn't meant that you'll reach the top just by practicing them . What's more important is for you to study diligently and comprehend the essences of those two techniques!"
Dan Xiaotian nodded in response .
A strong cultivation technique and sword art were not enough to guarantee that one would become an expert . It was what came after that truly mattered .
"Of course, the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion doesn't enforce its disciples to strictly follow its regiment . If you have a cultivation technique or sword art that is more suited to you, feel free to cultivate them too . As long as you are able to clear the annual examination, the sect will not restrict your freedom!" Elder Lu Yun said .
That sword toss technique was something that even Huo Jianghe was unable to withstand . In fact, Elder Lu had tried simulating the situation in his mind as well, but even he was not completely confident that he would be able to catch it .
It was clear that Dan Xiaotian had his own secrets .
However, the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion would never force out the secrets of its disciples .
As long as they were able to clear the examinations and did not flout sect rules, the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion was not too picky about what their disciples cultivated .
After all, there was no such thing as a 'one size fits all' when it came to cultivation techniques .
After chatting a little more about the sect rules, Elder Lu Yun finally turned around and left .
He had just achieved a breakthrough to the True Immortal realm, so he would have to spend some time reinforcing his cultivation .
"Teacher!"
After Elder Lu Yun left, Dan Xiaotian passed the Art of Ascendant Clouds and Ascendant Cloud Sword Formula over to Zhang Xuan .
Zhang Xuan tapped his finger on them and collected them into the Library of Heaven's Path . Following which, he swiftly flipped through them .
Fearing that there would be a deviation in Dan Xiaotian's cultivation, Elder Lu Yun had only given him the Ancient Sage 1-dan manual . It was top-notch in comparison to the cultivation techniques of the Master Teacher Continent, but it was still terribly flawed in comparison to the Heaven's Path Divine Art .
In Zhang Xuan's view, something of this caliber was not worth cultivating at all .
As for the Ascendant Cloud Sword Formula, it was indeed a decent move, but it was nothing compared to what he had comprehended thus far .
"For your cultivation technique, you should just practice what I have imparted to you . There's no need to make any alterations . As for sword arts, continue practicing the sword toss . Once you master what you have, I'll impart the next level to you!" Zhang Xuan said .
Yes, Teacher!" Dan Xiaotian nodded obediently .
There was no one in the world whom he respected more than his teacher . Naturally, he was more than willing to do whatever his teacher told him .
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to leave the residence, Dan Xiaotian suddenly asked, "Right! Teacher, what is the name of the sword toss technique that you taught me?"
His teacher had taught him the technique, but the name remained a mystery to him .
Surely, he could not keep referring to this technique as 'sword toss', could he?
This question made Zhang Xuan frown .
To be honest, he had created this technique on the spur of the moment, so he did not put much thought into naming it . Thus, he did not have an answer to Dan Xiaotian's question .
He pondered for a moment before replying, "Since you are the Third Young Master of the Dan Clan, let's just call this move, Third Young Master's Swordsmanship!"
"Third Young Master's Swordsmanship? That won't do! This doesn't seem too appropriate," Dan Xiaotian replied with twitching eyebrows .
That was way too perfunctory!
Who in the world would name their self-created swordsmanship in such a manner?
Not to mention, this technique was created by his teacher, so how could he use his name for it?
"What is inappropriate about it? I'm not too concerned about the name of the technique, so you can call it anything you want . In any case, I think Third Young Master's Swordsmanship sounds fine!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand lazily .
He could not really be bothered to argue about something like this .
His father sucked at naming, otherwise he would not have been named Zhang Diaofei . As someone who had inherited those genes, it was obvious that he would not be any better . If he was, he would not have gone around naming his techniques Heaven's Path Divine Art, Heaven's Path Sword Art, Heaven's Path Golden Body, and such . His nicknames also would not have been limited to Yang Xuan, Xuan Zhang, Tianya, and all those nonsensical names .
"Alright then . . . " Seeing that his teacher had made up his mind, Dan Xiaotian could only go along with it .
Seeing that this matter was settled, Zhang Xuan was just about to walk out when he suddenly recalled something . Turning to Dan Xiaotian, he said, "Pass me your inner disciple token for a moment!"
After acquiring the token from Dan Xiaotian, Zhang Xuan left the residence and headed right for the inner disciples' library .
The library was located on a manmade plain constructed in a valley . It was a majestic tower that Zhang Xuan had caught sight of while he was on his way to the inner disciples' market .
Upon arriving at the destination, Zhang Xuan passed his token over .
The elder in charge of the library took a look at the token before explaining impassively, "Two Sword Pavilion Coins for an hour . You can select a cultivation technique or battle technique during this period and copy it . "
