Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 137 - 111: The Wordless Golden Page; Sword Nurturing Spell_2

You Su put down the book again and asked, "What else is needed?"

"Your name will be publicly announced tomorrow. If there are no objections from the entire sect within seven days, you will become a true True Disciple."

You Su couldn’t help but frown, "Why is it so troublesome?"

"True Disciples are the true core of the Profound Sky Sect. To obtain this status, one must put in the effort that matches it and demonstrate the strength it requires. Taking in disciples as you please might seem like a matter of fate, but it leads to endless troubles. On the Divine Mountain, nothing is that simple. If you wish to get closer to the Divine Mountain, naturally, there will be more rules and regulations." Mr. Liu patiently explained.

You Su nodded and said, "Junior understands."

"Boy, don’t be fooled by him. It’s not that troublesome," Mr. Zhu approached with a benevolent smile. "Normally, as long as you have no grudges from the past, none of those outer sect disciples or registered disciples would dare to trouble a True Disciple. You, being the True Disciple of the Grand Elder, are different from us small elders. No one would dare not to give your master face. So, just wait for these seven days to pass calmly."

Mr. Liu glanced at his old friend, who was smiling foolishly, and shook his head secretly. It’s true that most of the Grand Elder’s True Disciples rarely encounter problems during the public announcement period, but this unexpectedly risen Thirteenth Elder might not be the same...

You Su put away the scroll, cupped his fists, and returned the courtesy, saying:

"Thank you for the guidance, Elder. May I know your name?"

"Just call me Mr. Zhu."

Mr. Zhu smiled and patted You Su’s shoulder, his facial fat jiggling. He handed You Su a special silver talisman, saying:

"I am an Elder from the Ancient Moon Residence. With this talisman, you will be a guest of honor at the Ancient Moon Residence. You can choose any dish below Tier A for half price!"

"I’ve done nothing to earn such a generous gift from Mr. Zhu," You Su hurriedly tried to return the talisman Mr. Zhu had offered.

Intent on building a good relationship with this boy destined for greatness, Mr. Zhu’s smile remained unfaltering as he increased his grip slightly, saying:

"How can this be considered extravagant? You are handsome and carry the demeanor of my youth. Moreover, you are the second True Disciple of the Thirteenth Elder. When you come to dine at the Ancient Moon Residence, you will surely bring others along, which would be considered a contribution, wouldn’t it?"

Looking at You Su’s bright and handsome face, Mr. Zhu thought to himself that the disciples You Su brought might likely include many females. He would need to quickly instruct his disciples to come up with new dishes that women would love.

You Su looked helpless and was about to decline again when Mr. Liu interjected:

"Accept it. It’s not really a big gift. This talisman is something almost every True Disciple of the Profound Sky Sect has. The Ancient Moon Residence isn’t some Immortal Family restaurant; it’s a dining hall for the Profound Sky Sect disciples. With it, dining becomes more convenient."

Though the Profound Sky Sect is the largest sect, most disciples are only in the Meridian Channeling or Spirit Platform Realm, and they need to eat. Reaching the Condensing Water Realm allows them to rely on their substantial Profound Qi to abstain from food for long periods. Only upon reaching the Feather Transformation Realm can one truly practice Fasting.

Therefore, to the Profound Sky Sect, the Ancient Moon Residence is like a cornerstone. The dishes are divided into four categories: A, B, C, and D, becoming more ordinary and cheaper as you go down.

Mr. Zhu was infuriated by his old friend’s interruption, puffing and glaring, saying:

"Nonsense! How could what I give to You Su be the same as what I give to others? I even forgot to mention that with this talisman, all dishes below Tier B are free!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the talisman in his hand became much more complex, shining even more brilliantly than before.

Mr. Liu just smiled nonchalantly, thinking to himself that this chubby man was indeed generous. Even Tier-C dishes aren’t something ordinary disciples can afford.

You Su naturally couldn’t detect Mr. Zhu’s slight alterations to the talisman. Since both elders persuaded him, he stopped refusing, reached out, accepted the talisman, and said thank you:

"Then I’ll humbly accept it. Should either of you require anything of me in the future, I will do my utmost."

"Why involve him in what I’ve given you?" Mr. Zhu patted his belly, asking discontentedly.

You Su laughed and said, "Mr. Liu has also helped me greatly, so I lazily said it in one go."

Mr. Zhu, of course, wasn’t truly angry, muttering, "What help? That’s what he’s supposed to do."

Mr. Liu didn’t bother arguing with his old friend and said to You Su:

"This Postscript Pavilion is called the Book Mountain Pavilion. It’s no ordinary place, possessing spiritual nature. It often provides visitors with the most suitable or necessary book. I benefited greatly from the ’Wind Stabilizing Profound Skill’ I obtained back then. You should carefully ponder the book bestowed by the Pavilion."

Mr. Zhu’s eyes twinkled as he added, "That’s right, exactly right. I’m using the ’Rootless Breathing Skill’ I got from back then to this day!"

You Su chuckled softly. These two elders seemed to be sharing their book experiences, but in reality, they were curious about what book You Su got. Out of respect for privacy, they refrained from directly asking.

You Su didn’t think there was anything secretive about the book he received. Being both a Mandarin Duck Sword Inheritor and a disciple of the Lotus Sword, learning a new sword technique might scatter his focus. However, the Sword Nurturing Spell was different. It referred to nurturing the sword with spirit and Qi, emphasizing the connection between the sword and one’s soul. The Sword Nurturing Spell was the most suitable Sword Dao book for him at this time.

He then raised the ancient book to show the two elders.

"The ’True Yang Sword Nurturing Spell’?!"

Mr. Liu read the words, and his expression instantly became intriguing. Mr. Zhu’s was similar, and he looked You Su up and down.

Though unable to see their expressions, You Su could sense Mr. Liu’s surprised and playful tone, so he asked:

"Is there something special about this book?"

Mr. Liu didn’t answer directly. Instead, he asked:

"Do you have a Dao partner?"

You Su sensed something amiss. Why was this proper old man suddenly asking about that? If he were to count... his junior sister should be considered a Dao partner.

"Indeed, I do."

The two elders both showed expressions of predictability. Mr. Liu’s gaze swept oddly over You Su’s lower body, and he said:

"Do you know who the author of your book is?"

You Su shook his head.

"It was written by the renowned Zhengyang Venerable, seven hundred years ago."

A Sword Nurturing Spell from the Venerable of the Void Realm should be extraordinary, so You Su replied:

"I didn’t expect to be so lucky to receive a sword formula from the Venerable."

"Don’t be too quick to celebrate. Do you know who Venerable Zhengyang was?"

You Su still shook his head.

"Since you have a Dao partner, you should understand that today, dual cultivation isn’t openly celebrated. Some even view it as an evil path. However, seven hundred years ago, dual cultivation was a normal cultivation method. The change in perception was due to Venerable Zhengyang."

"What did he do?"

Shaking his head regretfully, Mr. Liu said, "Venerable Zhengyang was exceptionally talented. His self-created Zhengyang Sword was unbeatable in the same realm, vanquishing countless Evil Cultivators. Unfortunately, he was deeply lustful. In his old age, unable to break through to the Celestial Awakening Realm, he turned to dual cultivation, leading to numerous tragedies. Many male cultivators even mimicked him, spreading fear among female cultivators. Just as he was about to break through to the Celestial Awakening, he was executed by female cultivators he’d previously tainted. After that, dual cultivation could no longer be openly practiced."

"Can a person’s cultivation technique like his be kept in the Book Mountain Pavilion?"

"His character was problematic, but the Zhengyang Sword wasn’t. That’s why the ’True Yang Swordsmanship’ and the ’True Yang Sword Nurturing Spell’ were preserved here."

You Su nodded. Before being troubled by obsession, Venerable Zhengyang was indeed worthy of being called a righteous cultivator. His later madness and earlier accomplishments should indeed be separated.

However, You Su still didn’t understand the source of Mr. Liu’s strange tone. Finally, Mr. Liu revealed:

"The reason why I’m astounded is because this Sword Nurturing Spell has some other uses."

"What uses?"

Clearing his throat, Mr. Liu answered, "Venerable Zhengyang, in his old age, still managed to engage with several high-cultivation female cultivators, thanks to this True Yang Sword Nurturing Spell. It not only nurtures the sword but also nurtures the ’sword’..."
