Chapter 80 – Heaven and Earth One-Sword Slash

I want to be such a pushy big brother in the future…Xu Qi’an envied in his heart and clasped his fists:

“Last night, the Earth Sect’s Golden Lotus Taoist Master, came to my door. He didn’t harm me or take back the Earth Book, but instead invited me to join the Heaven and Earth Society.”

“The Heaven and Earth Association… “Wei Yuan turned back and walked into the tea room.

“The initiator of the Heaven and Earth Society is none other than that Golden Lotus Taoist from the Earth Sect, as well as the Earth Sect disciples behind him.” Xu Qi’an saw Wei Yuan assume a serious listening posture and knew that the information he had given was very valuable.

“There are nine core members of the Tiandi Society, who are also holders of the “Earth Book” fragments, and they use the fragments’ serial numbers as their code names, not their real names.” Xu Qi’an roughly recounted last night’s chat:

“At the moment, we only know that One is in the capital, backed by no small power; Two is in Yunzhou, keen on fighting bandits and suspected to be from the imperial court.”

The big eunuch with frosty temples pondered for a long time and asked, “Mutually unaware of the identity of …. What else did Jinlian say to you?”

Xu Qi’an answered truthfully, “He said that something had gone wrong with the Earth Sect and that he wanted to clean up the mess, thus establishing the Heaven and Earth Society.”

Speaking here, he saw the great eunuch opposite him, his eyes with the vicissitudes of life within them snapping to life, gazing at him, his mellow voice translucent with solemnity:

“Carefully.”

“The Dao Head of the Earth Sect has become demonic, affecting almost all of the Earth Sect’s disciples, with only a few staying awake and escaping the sect. This is because of the shelter of the Earth Book.” Xu Qi’an sold Daoist Head Golden Lotus short:

“So he formed the Heaven and Earth Society and gave the fragments of the Earth Book to the Heaven’s Pride who were scattered all over the world, supporting them in order to gain help when they cleaned up their own house in the future.”

The head of the road has become a demon, did the purple lotus become eerie and evil …. Wei Yuan’s elegant and handsome face was missing its expression, and with a tone of examination, he asked, “Do you think that Jinlian told you this, why?”

Xu Qi’an just wanted to say that he didn’t know, and when he met Wei Yuan’s deep gaze and heard the examination in his tone, he swallowed his words.

With Wei Yuan s sophistication, he is certainly not seeking an answer from me …. He is testing my level.

…. If I had blurted out the words “I don’t know” just now, would I have become a subordinate who is not smart enough and has an average IQ in the heart of this great eunuch?

Xu Qi’an’s brain was instantly active, and he smiled with a rather relaxed expression on his face:

“All of the members in the Heaven and Earth Association are well aware of the abnormalities of the Earth Sect. By telling the truth, Daoist Golden Lotus is showing sincerity like I am.”

Wei Yuan nodded his head imperceptibly, “The Earth Sect’s movements are hidden, and the watchman still doesn’t know the inner workings of the meritocracy’s entry into the demonic world.”

….. Xu Qi’an’s eyes widened, “What Duke Wei means is that Daoist Golden Lotus is using me as a medium to try to secretly strike an alliance with you?”

Wei Yuan then nodded his head in satisfaction without answering, and said gently, “From now on, you will be the Spy of the Tien-Di Guild for the Tailor, responsible for spying on the true identities of the other members. When necessary, the Yamen will give you some help.”

Xu Qi’an clasped his fists and answered “Yes.”

If I had behaved more sluggishly just now, would Wei Gong have taken back the fragments of the Book of Earth and replaced me with an extremely clever subordinate to infiltrate into the Tiandi Association to work as a second fiddle?

A big man’s tryst is like a sweeping breeze, and a slip of the tongue can lead to mistakes and omissions ….

Wei Yuan said, ”You are already in the Qi Practicing Realm, it’s time to try to cultivate the Jutsu, go to the Tibetan scripture cabinet and pick one.

“Are you accustomed to knives, or swords?”

“Knife!” Xu Qi’an replied.

When he was still a Suxian, he wore a plain sword, and although he rarely had any use for it, he had carried it with him for many years, and had always had a better affinity for it than for the sword.

Wei Yuan mentioned, “When choosing a Jedi, remember to pick simple and pure sword techniques. Anything too complicated and fancy, don’t want it at all.

“Martial artists are different from other systems, there aren’t many gods, only strange powers. Therefore, the purer a martial artist is, the better, and in the future, when you step into the high grade realm, you will understand this.”

A few simple words were heavier than a thousand pieces of gold. Xu Qi’an was overjoyed, “Thank you, Duke Wei, for your guidance.”

Having his back to a big organization was just the beginning, if he could gain Wei Yuan’s appreciation and approval, his career path and martial arts path, would benefit greatly.

The Commissioner of Heaven only accepts children, not child chickens. It’s not like Confucianism is for me. And neither of the first two is a martial system. If you want to follow the martial path, you can only rely on the government office of the night watchman where martial artists are piled up.

……

Taking Wei Yuan’s handwritten letter, Xu Qi’an arrived at the Tibetan scripture pavilion, accompanied by Li Yuchun.

Li Yuchun looked at the mandarin who was leading the way in front of him and said meaningfully, “When did you embrace the thick leg of Wei Gong?”

“Princess Wei moved to summon me.” Xu Qi’an’s innocent expression.

Li Yuchun nodded slightly, not displeased, and did not pursue the matter.

The qualifications on the armor were assessed by Duke Wei himself, and it was only natural that he intended to cultivate Xu Qi’an.

In this regard, Li Yuchun had long been in his heart, and there was no resentment, or cynicism, that his men had bypassed themselves to curry favor with the top brass.

First of all, the qualifications on the armor were cultivated, and it was inevitable that he would be noticed by Wei Gong. Secondly, Xu Qi’an was a gong under his hand.

With this fragrant love in place, he couldn’t wait for Xu Qi’an to go as high as possible.

The official led them to one side of the bookshelf and said, “There are four hundred and seven sword manuals, all of them are here.”

When Xu Qi’an and the two of them nodded, he retreated.

Li Yuchun glanced at Xu Qi’an and grabbed him before he could speak, smiling, “Is it to ask me which blade technique is the strongest?”

Xu Qi’an smiled “hehehe”.

Li Yuchun deliberated, “There are two types of Jedi, one is technique and the other is Dao. The latter you should not think about. The former, there is no difference between strong and weak, it only depends on the person.”

The two of them slowly began to pick out their blade recipes, Xu Qi’an keeping in mind Wei Yuan’s admonition not to pick out those fancy blade techniques.

After an hour, Li Yuchun was a bit impatient, “No satisfaction?”

…. Guv, I forgot to tell you, I have a phobia of choice! Xu Qi’an nodded with a bitter smile.

Li Yuchun thought for a moment, “Wait for me.”

He beckoned the mandarin and asked, “Have any new jutsu been added to the library lately, I mean the sword manual.”

The official contemplated for a moment and said, “Yes, the other day, the Sithian Supervisor’s side sent a few masterpieces in exchange for a few thousand taels of silver.”

A few thousand taels of silver …. Li Yuchun froze, then a smile welled up, “Xu Ningyan, you’re in luck.”

He explained, “Thousands of taels of silver for a jutsu of better quality than any of the ones inside, and I’m guessing there’s a remnant of a certain way of the sword.”

“Dao?” Xu Qi’an’s eyes lit up.

“Jedi with dao rhythms are usually created by high-grade martial artists and contain their lifelong martial insights. If you want to become a high-grade martial artist, this type of Jedi can’t be touched because it’s someone’s Dao. But the remnants can be learned.” Li Yuchun instructed the mandarin:

“You get it.”

In a few moments, the mandarins came over with a few jutsu, one of which was really a crippled saber dao jutsu.

“One Slice of Heaven and Earth

The person who takes this name is either a middle child or a paranoid maniac …. Xu Qi’an made a judgment in her heart and flipped open the thin booklet to open the preface:

There’s nothing in the world that can’t be cut in one stroke, and if there is, my advice is to run away.

…. Xu Qi’an resisted the urge to throw the secret book of the Jedi School away, and patiently, flipped to the second page.

It took a careful reading of the program to change my mind about this jutsu.

It is correct to say that the master who wrote the book is a paranoid maniac. He believes that anything in the world can be cut off in one stroke, including heaven and earth.

The same goes for the enemy.

Any superfluous moves or sparring is a disgrace to the martial arts.

I’m only going to make one cut, it’s either you or me. Of course, paranoia doesn’t mean losing one’s mind, and the platform mentions that the advice is to run away when encountering an opponent who is too powerful to be defeated.

Xu Qi’an silently finished reading the program and mentally reordered the preface for this mastery: Concentrate on one point, reach the peak!

He closed the booklet, his eyes glowing, “I’ll take it.”
