Chapter 855: Beyond Ninth Grade Martial Arts Techniques
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Xu Fan naturally saw their desire for a martial arts technique above the ninth grade and understood why Shen Jianting declined.Xu Fan smiled, waving his hand, “Little Ting, there’s no need for such formality.”
“When we resolved the crisis at Sword Tomb, it wasn’t just a favor for your Sword Heaven Sect, but it also allowed my sword to advance a level.
It was a mutually beneficial situation.”
“The news of me exchanging a martial arts technique above the ninth grade for the Crimson Profound Fruit is also of great significance to me.”
“You’ve been waiting for three years, and if I were to take them away directly, it would neither be fair nor reasonable.
Besides, these martial arts techniques are of little use to me, so please accept them.”
Knowing Xu Fan was not a man for empty courtesies, Shen Jianting no longer delayed and stood up to bow with his fists, “Then I thank you greatly, Brother Xu!”
The third Elder also stood up excitedly, bowing with his fists, “Thank you, Mr.
Xu.”
Xu Fan smiled casually, “Don’t mention it.”
Then he stood up, “You two sit here for a bit while I go get the martial arts technique.”
Shen Jianting and the other nodded hastily.
After that, Xu Fan went upstairs and copied a martial arts technique above the ninth grade, marking out the sections that were abstruse and difficult to comprehend in detail.
This greatly reduced the difficulty and time for cultivators to practice.
...
A few minutes later, Xu Fan came downstairs and handed the freshly copied martial arts technique to Shen Jianting.
“Blade Storm, a sword technique above the ninth grade, is extremely domineering.
Once mastered, one can conjure up thousands of blade storms.”
“A crucial note during cultivation: remember not to be impatient for quick success and to avoid rash advancement.
You must remain down-to-earth and advance steadily, or at the least, you might regress in your cultivation due to an unstable foundation, and at worst, you could lose your power and sustain serious injuries!”
Xu Fan made his point very clear, what they would ultimately achieve in their cultivation was no longer his concern.
The higher the level of the martial arts technique, the more careful one must be during cultivation, advancing steadily, otherwise, it’s not just about failing in cultivation.
Blade Storm!
Just hearing this name makes one feel its dominance and might.
Shen Jianting’s face showed an expression of surprise and excitement rippled through his heart.
He held Blade Storm in both hands, which trembled slightly.
Great swords are bestowed upon heroes; Blade Storm given to a swordsman like Shen Jianting, who is exceptionally talented and diligently cultivates, would certainly not gather dust.
Every swordsman dreams of possessing divine weapons and peerless martial arts scriptures, and now Shen Jianting has obtained them.
Shen Jianting, thrilled, thanked him again, “Thank you, Brother Xu!”
Xu Fan smiled nonchalantly, “There’s no need for such formality; it’s what you deserve.”
At that moment, the third Elder also took out a roll of sheepskin parchment from his sleeve, and with a flick of his wrist, it floated in mid-air and slowly unrolled.
“Mr.
Xu, this is a map I drew myself.
The place marked in red is where the Crimson Profound Fruit can be found.”
The map on the sheepskin was very clear and Xu Fan immediately noticed the place marked in red.
The third Elder elaborated, “The map depicts the Valley of Nine Deaths, a desolate area spanning hundreds of kilometers without any inhabitants, and the environment is extremely harsh, devoid of rain throughout all seasons.”
“At the very center of the Valley of Nine Deaths, there’s a raised platform, and the Crimson Profound Fruit grows right at the center of this platform.”
“The Vermilion Bird is located around the Crimson Profound Fruit, never more than fifty meters from it.”
“Within the Valley of Nine Deaths, there are also other fire-type beasts, but their strength is much weaker than that of the Vermilion Bird, posing no threat.”
Xu Fan listened quietly, nodding his head.
The Crimson Profound Fruit itself is a fire-type spiritual fruit with tremendously violent energy.
The Vermilion Bird guarded the surroundings, which were bound to be scorchingly hot, and not a trace of mist could be in the air, having long been evaporated completely.
Thus, for hundreds of miles around, there was nothing but a red, desert wasteland.
The third Elder volunteered to help, saying,
“Mr.
Xu, that fierce flame beast’s fire is extremely violent and not easy to deal with.
Does Mr.
Xu need the assistance of the powerful members of the Sword Heaven Sect to lend a helping hand?”
Xu Fan shook his head nonchalantly and said indifferently, “It’s just a Vermilion Bird; no help is needed.”
Upon hearing this, the third Elder didn’t feel it was arrogant or presumptuous, but rather took it for granted.
After all, the divine powers Xu Fan had displayed convinced him thoroughly, as Xu Fan had faced three Supreme Elders of the Sword Heaven Sect without falling short.
Moreover, he had effortlessly resolved the Sword Tomb, which had completely stumped the entire Sword Heaven Sect.
At equal levels, mystical beasts are stronger than human cultivators.
The Vermilion Bird is a king among mystical beasts, not only possessing violent abilities and domineering attacks but also being exceedingly difficult to kill, with even inflicting injury on it being no easy feat.
Originally, the Sword Heaven Sect’s plan was to let the Vermilion Bird guard the Crimson Profound Fruits for free for a few years.
Once the Crimson Profound Fruits were ripe, the Sword Heaven Sect and a few other allied forces planned to confront the Vermilion Bird together.
They would gather four Dongxuan powerhouses and then a dozen or so Tongtian powerhouses to act together and seize the Crimson Profound Fruit.
But even then, the Sword Heaven Sect was not fully confident, and there was even a possibility that many strong members of the Sect would fall.
One could trust that the Vermilion Bird’s strength was truly formidable.
However, Xu Fan’s expression remained as calm as ever, as if seizing the Crimson Profound Fruit under the protection of the Vermilion Bird was as common as carrying an umbrella when it rained.
The third Elder thought to himself that Xu Fan must have some Treasure Instrument or divine power that could evade the Vermilion Bird.
And then silently steal the Crimson Profound Fruit.
As for the idea of Xu Fan dealing with the Vermilion Bird alone, the third Elder still didn’t believe it.
If the third Elder knew that Xu Fan’s goal was not just the Crimson Profound Fruit but also the Vermilion Bird itself, he would probably be shocked to the point of dropping his jaw!
After exchanging pleasantries for a while longer, Shen Jianting and the third Elder said their goodbyes, taking the “Blade Storm” with them and leaving the sheepskin scroll about the Valley of Nine Deaths behind.
Xu Fan was very tempted at that moment, but he didn’t immediately set out.
Because Tongtong would get out of school at five o’clock in the afternoon, and the Valley of Nine Deaths was more than a thousand miles away.
Considering the round trip and any unexpected events that might happen inside the valley,
he decided to set off tomorrow instead.
Since tomorrow was the weekend, Tongtong did not have to go to school and Xu Yixue did not have to work either.
He would then have plenty of time to spare.
As soon as it struck four o’clock, Xu Fan immediately jumped up from the couch.
He took the car keys and drove to Beile Kindergarten to pick up Tongtong from school.
What could be more important than picking up Tongtong from school this day?
Today, picking up Tongtong went without incident, but due to yesterday’s events, many people still stole surreptitious glances at him.
After picking up Tongtong, Xu Fan kept his promise from the day before.
He took her for ice cream, though Tongtong did not play on the trampoline today, probably because yesterday’ s incident had cast a shadow over her heart.
After dinner, Xu Fan’ s family of three and Xu Xuanyi and his wife sat on the couch as usual to watch TV.
Tongtong was lying askew in Xu Fan’ s arms, her cute little feet restlessly moving about, and in her arms, she held a fluffy toy.
