Chu Zhiyuan sat in the small courtyard, observing the situation in the Sect Master Hall and shook his head with a smile.
Qu Ying is indeed lively and quick-witted.
Lu Donghu and the others are not bad either, as they actually listened to her words.
At such an age, people tend to be stubborn and not listen to others, especially the young.
He was curious about the Thunderbolt Saber Technique because of the space where the Heavenly Blade was located.
In that space, could he put the Flying Knife or the Bright Moon Saber in there?
If the Flying Knife and Bright Moon Saber could be placed inside and continuously strengthened, they might even draw the Outer Heaven Power into the blade, enhancing its power.
He vaguely felt that this might be the key for the Sword God to advance further.
These thoughts appeared as a flash of inspiration, and the decision to view the Thunderbolt Saber Technique was made on the spur of the mont.
It seems there’s no problem.
Speaking of which, I have to thank Qu Ying.
It was indeed the right choice to bring her along.
"Ding ding ding ding..." The clear ringing was incessant as four flying knives continued their entanglent with two mystical cats.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
A series of clear shadows flew out from his sleeve, and four flying knives appeared above his head once more.
They seed to co to life, eagerly staring at the two mystical cats.
Then they swiftly shot over.
"Ding ding ding ding..." A denser chorus of clear rings sounded.
The mystical cats were repeatedly struck by the knives.
Even though their fur was resilient, they were still in unbearable pain, letting out whimpering sounds.
Chu Zhiyuan’s heart was as hard as iron, unfazed, and all eight flying knives attacked simultaneously.
The whimpering grew increasingly tragic, but it couldn’t shake Chu Zhiyuan’s resolve.
An hour later, they suddenly stopped crying, going limp as if dead, dropping straight to the ground.
Chu Zhiyuan ignored them, and the eight flying knives continued their assault.
"Ee—!"
"Ee—!"
Just as they were about to hit the ground, they flickered and soared into the air again, their calls filled with anger, as if accusing him of having a stone heart.
Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, focusing internally, observing the changes in his body caused by the light emitted from the Golden Tower.
Observing the effects of the Dragon Transformation Technique operation.
The effects of the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique.
The effects of the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique and the Golden Tower seed similar yet had subtle differences.
The light from the Golden Tower affected only the flesh, while the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique seed to also work on the spirit and soul.
Even more profound.
He increasingly realized that the longevity effects of the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique were incredibly amazing, exceeding even that of the Great Grandmaster.
Practicing the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique, even without reaching the Grandmaster Realm, grants greater longevity than a Great Grandmaster.
Unfortunately, not everyone can master the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique.
"Ding ding ding ding..."
"Ee ee ee ee..."
Two different sounds lingered in his ears, both gradually fading away.
He constantly observed the changes in the mystical cats.
The clear ring suddenly ceased.
The eight flying knives hovered in midair, slowly floating above Chu Zhiyuan’s head.
The two mystical cats were suspended mid-air, treading in the air as if walking on solid ground.
They glared angrily at Chu Zhiyuan but did not flee.
Not that they hadn’t tried escaping, but they weren’t fast enough to outpace the flying knives.
Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes and approached them with a smile.
They retreated higher, maintaining a distance from Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head, reaching out to begin casting the Spirit Summoning Talisman.
In his mind, he sensed two emotions of anger and sadness intertwined with a fragile sense of helplessness.
Chu Zhiyuan let out a sigh of relief.
As expected, when using the Spirit Summoning Talisman on animals, one can indeed hear their inner voices, establishing a ntal connection.
This is completely different from using the Spirit Summoning Talisman on the Demon Crystals.
Using the Spirit Summoning Talisman on animals can establish a ntal link.
He expressed goodwill while letting the aura of the Dragon Transformation Technique flow from his palm, slowly approaching them.
The two mystical cats curiously watched him.
Their green eyes reflected doubt and curiosity.
Evidently, they were surprised by the ergence of friendliness and softness in their minds.
Chu Zhiyuan placed a hand on each mystical cat.
The aura of the Dragon Transformation Technique was a great supplent for them.
While puzzled, they were also drawn by the aura of the Dragon Transformation Technique.
Eventually, they were touched by Chu Zhiyuan, and the aura of the Dragon Transformation Technique flowed into their bodies.
They imdiately tensed, kicking away with all four legs.
Chu Zhiyuan continued to release goodwill but did not grab tightly, allowing them to leave.
They kept a distance of about one zhang from Chu Zhiyuan, tilting their heads to look at him.
Although they possessed notable intelligence, it was animal instinct, and their minds were only equivalent to that of a three-year-old child, not even as developed as the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree.
Chu Zhiyuan’s goodwill intrigued them, while the aura of the Dragon Transformation Technique was irresistible, so they were once again touched by Chu Zhiyuan, who started to stroke their fur.
As they were stroked, the aura of the Dragon Transformation Technique was infused into them, quickly making them purr contentedly.
Chu Zhiyuan chuckled silently; even for demon beasts, so habits remain the sa.
...
When Qu Ying arrived at the small courtyard, she saw the cats perched on Chu Zhiyuan’s shoulders, warily staring at her, ready to attack at any mont.
Qu Ying blinked her bright eyes: "Your Royal Highness, these are...?"
"Hmm, they have been tad by ." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
"Can I touch them?"
"They don’t let outsiders touch them."
"Oh..." Qu Ying was disappointed.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Their habit is to fear the scent of a certain strange fruit. When entering the Secret Land, apply the juice of this fruit, and they will avoid you, not attacking."
Qu Ying was overjoyed and quickly expressed her thanks.
Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, took out a painting from his sleeve, and handed it to her: "This is the strange fruit."
The painting depicted a peculiar flower cluster, with chains of fruits hanging from it.
They were as large as longans, with a slightly purple hue, tinged with a hint of yellow.
This kind of fruit is easy to identify.
"Your Royal Highness, please look."
Qu Ying then took out an ancient, elegant long box from her sleeve, opening it to reveal a scroll.
Zou Fang stepped forward and unfurled the scroll.
It was a long scroll, nearly ten ters long when opened.
The painting depicted individuals wielding swords, striking various poses.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at Qu Ying: "It’s actually the sword technique from before Da Jing."
"Indeed so." Qu Ying said, "The Thunderbolt Saber Technique is an ancient legacy."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "To have mastered the ancient legacy, your sect’s ancestor was truly a genius."
Qu Ying smiled and said, "I heard that Your Royal Highness has also mastered so ancient legacies."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "I’ve mastered a few techniques."
Qu Ying clicked her tongue.
To have mastered several ancient legacies, no wonder he’s so formidable.
She then smiled and said, "Then Your Royal Highness could try practicing the Thunderbolt Saber Technique; maybe you can actually master it."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "If I do master it, Sect Master Lu won’t be able to sleep."
"How could that be?" Qu Ying said.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile.
Qu Ying imdiately understood Chu Zhiyuan’s aning.
Mastering the Thunderbolt Saber Technique would indeed cause the Sect Master to lose sleep, for fear of losing the Heavenly Blade.
After mastering the Thunderbolt Saber Technique, one might be able to seize the Heavenly Blade.
Only by wielding the Heavenly Blade and practicing the Thunderbolt Saber Technique can its power be fully realized.
Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, already committing the Thunderbolt Saber Technique to mory.
He then opened his eyes: "Rest assured, Sect Master Lu, I will not seize the Heavenly Blade."
Qu Ying smiled: "The Sect Master will be very pleased to hear this news."
"Since I have started, I’ll go all the way... I’ll head back to Yujing first, and return in a couple of days to enter the Secret Land and help you gather so of these strange fruits." Chu Zhiyuan said.
Repay kindness with kindness, repay kindness with gratitude.
Since I’ve benefited from the Flying Sky Sect, I should give sothing back and not take undue advantage just because I am the Princely Heir.
The Flying Sky Sect’s Secret Land has many treasures, after all, it is a newly developed Secret Land.
Might as well take the opportunity to explore it.
But before that, I need to head back to Yujing to soak up so of Xu Yingying’s luck before returning.
"That would be wonderful!" Qu Ying was overjoyed.
