Chapter 22
Offensive Cultivation Techniques
While everyone was dumbfounded, Zhou Yun and Han Shuzi arrived at the Scripture Pavilion.
After entering, Zhou Yun was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.
The Scripture Pavilion was as big as five football fields, and the books on cultivation techniques were spread all over the room.
Seeing Zhou Yun’s shocked expression, Han Shuzi smiled calmly. Every disciple who had just entered would be shocked and speechless after seeing this huge Scripture Pavilion.
The sect used such a large Scripture Pavilion because there were too many books and there was no space for them to be kept.
But it was hard work to be in charge of the Scripture Pavilion.
At this thought, Han Shuzi sighed softly.
The two of them sat cross-legged on a futon, facing each other. Han Shuzi poured Zhou Yun a cup of tea.
After sitting down, Zhou Yun asked directly, “Elder Han, I would like to learn some offensive cultivation techniques. Do you have any recommendations?”
Han Shuzi had been in charge of the Scripture Pavilion for nearly a hundred years, so he was very familiar with the various cultivation techniques in the Scripture Pavilion. Therefore, it was the smartest choice to ask him before choosing a cultivation technique.
After hearing Zhou Yun’s words, Han Shuzi pondered for a moment before asking Zhou Yun a question.
He asked, “Our Scripture Pavilion has over ten million books on all kinds of cultivation techniques. Among them, there are seven million offensive cultivation techniques. These cultivation techniques are all-encompassing. Some techniques use sabers, swords, hammers, sticks, daggers, and bows, and there are also various fist techniques, leg techniques, and so on. There are too many types of cultivation techniques. I wonder which one you would like to learn?”
Zhou Yun said, “Well...”
He frowned slightly. He had not expected the sect’s killing techniques to contain so many types.
Seeing Zhou Yun’s hesitation, Han Shuzi smiled and stroked his beard.
He said, “It’s fine if you want to learn a few more. You’re a glory disciple of our sect, so the privileges you enjoy are different from ordinary disciples. You can borrow any cultivation technique books from our Scripture Pavilion, and there are no restrictions on the type and number. You can think of a few that you’d like to learn, and I’ll recommend them to you!”
Zhou Yun thought, “Can any cultivation techniques be fine? And is it true that there’s no restriction on the type and quantity?”
Hearing Han Shuzi’s words, Zhou Yun almost crushed the teacup in his hand. He could not help but feel shocked.
He knew that he had some special privileges, but he didn’t expect them to be so great.
It was known that even the inner sect disciples of the sect could only choose three cultivation techniques at a time. Moreover, if they wanted to choose again, they had to return the books they had borrowed before they could continue to choose.
As for the outer sect disciple, they could choose fewer, only one book at a time.
However, he didn’t expect that his privileges as a glory disciple would be so great.
He could choose at will, with no restrictions on the number and type.
This simply made others envious.
The two of them talked about this in public, so everyone in the Scripture Pavilion who was trying to choose a cultivation technique heard their conversation.
In an instant, time seemed to have stopped.
Everyone’s expression froze on their faces. They were frozen in place like statues.
An inner sect disciple who was choosing a cultivation technique was stunned on the spot, and the book in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
After what seemed like a century, everyone present finally regained their senses.
They thought, “Is this the glory disciple?”
They all recalled the sect meeting that had taken place a few days ago.
Just a few days ago, the sect held a special sect meeting. Except for those who were in seclusion, all disciples and elders had to attend this meeting.
That day at the conference, the entire venue was filled up, and there was not a single empty seat.
All the inner sect elders of the sect had come. These elders could usually go out once in a few years. But that day, all of them were present, shocking everyone present.
The most shocking thing was that the Grand Elder was personally presiding over the meeting.
It could be said that this meeting was the grandest one Spirit Valley had held in hundreds of years.
And the purpose of such a grand sect meeting was to announce Zhou Yun’s promotion to a glory disciple.
That day, Zhou Yun was like a shining golden star when he stepped onto the stage, and everyone in the sect watched that scene.
After that day, everyone in the sect knew the name of Zhou Yun.
Everyone present was staring at Zhou Yun with deep envy in their eyes.
...
Han Shuzi asked, “Zhou Yun, which offensive cultivation technique do you want to learn the most? You choose one first, and then I’ll match you with a few auxiliary cultivation techniques according to the cultivation technique you choose.”
The two of them were still chatting, not paying attention to the dumbfounded crowd around them.
Zhou Yun said, “I want to learn the sword!”
He said this without any hesitation.
In his impression, sword technique had always been offensive and cool.
Furthermore, he might even be able to ride a flying sword in the future, or kill people with a flying sword from thousands of miles away, and so on. Zhou Yun was extremely excited just thinking about this.
Han Shuzi asked, “Sword technique?”
Hearing Zhou Yun’s words, Han Shuzi immediately searched for a sword technique that was suitable for Zhou Yun in his mind.
Then, he smiled and stood up.
“Wait a moment,” he said.
After saying that, Han Shuzi walked into the depths of the Scripture Pavilion.
After a while, he came out from inside with a thin book in his hand and handed it to Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun picked it up, and his eyes lit up.
He shouted, “Sun-set sword technique!”
After Han Shuzi handed the book to Zhou Yun, his expression immediately became serious.
He said, “Zhou Yun, the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth is decreasing every day, and the spiritual Qi available for cultivation in the immortal cultivation world is getting lesser and lesser. To pursue efficiency, many people have begun to focus on absorbing and cultivating spiritual Qi instead of physical training.
“I’ve been in charge of the Scripture Pavilion for almost a hundred years and have read many books. I believe that only with a strong body can one match a powerful sword technique. With the combination of the two, one can surpass everyone and step onto the true path of using the sword.”
After Zhou Yun heard Han Shuzi’s words, he nodded solemnly.
He agreed with what Han Shuzi said.
It was like a weak child holding a knife and a strong young man holding a knife, but the damage caused by the two is completely different.
A person with a strong body would be far superior to a child in all aspects.
Zhou Yun said, “Elder Han, I agree with your idea very much. I’ll have to trouble you to help me pick a few more suitable cultivation techniques as auxiliary.”
He clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Han Shuzi. He had not met Han Shuzi many times, and they were not familiar with each other. However, since Han Shuzi was wholeheartedly thinking about him, Han Shuzi was worthy of this bow.
Han Shuzi nodded his head and quickly entered the depths of the Scripture Pavilion.
Half an hour later, Zhou Yun walked out of the Scripture Pavilion with dozens of cultivation technique books in his hands under everyone’s shocked, envious, jealous, and other complicated gazes.
Then there came a sound. “Brother Zhou Yun!”
As soon as Zhou Yun stepped out of the door, he heard a familiar and clear voice.
He turned around and saw the slim and elegant Qiao’er looking at him with a smile.
