The Thousand-Sided Sword Technique

Nan Shan smiled and pulled him to a secluded corner, explaining in a low voice.

“Actually, I only want this sword. I was planning to give you this sword manual.”

“Ah?”

Liu Changsheng was shocked. “I… It wasn’t… Junior Brother, why are you giving me something out of the blue?”

“Senior Brother, don’t be so formal. It’s just a small gift,” Nan Shan said.

“This isn’t a matter of treating you as an outsider. I treat you as a friend not because of this.”

Liu Changsheng said in all seriousness, “I can’t accept this gift, and I shouldn’t accept it.”

Nan Shan pursed his lips. He had spoken so seriously that he did not know what to say for a while.

This senior brother was too honest.

He didnot even want free things.

The quality of the sword manual was not low.

For Qi layer cultivators, it was already a very good thing.

It was enough to last until the foundation establishment stage.

He did not expect that Liu Changsheng would actually refuse such a great temptation.

‘This…’ How was he supposed to invest in this?!

Liu Changsheng saw that Nan Shan was a little depressed, so he patted his shoulder and comforted him. “Junior Brother, if you also treat me as a friend, then keep it for yourself and cultivate well.”

Nan Shan had an idea. He directly said, “Senior brother, it’s because I treat you as a friend that I gave you this sword manual.”

Liu Changsheng was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, “Why do you say so?”

“I haven’t even mastered ‘Qi manipulation’ yet. It’s a waste of energy to practice it. It’s a waste to leave it with me.”

Nan Shan’s expression was serious. “It’s better to let Senior Brother practice it first.”

“This…” Liu Changsheng hesitated for a moment. “Then wouldn’t I be taking advantage of you for nothing…”

The corners of Nan Shan’s mouth curled up. “What’s wrong with that? Senior Brother, didn’t you also help me pay for a year’s tuition fees?”

“…”

Nan Shan saw that Liu Changsheng still wanted to speak, so he directly stuffed the sword manual into his hands without any explanation.

“If you’re any more polite, this friendship will fade.”

“I…”

Liu Changsheng opened his mouth.

He looked at the sword manual in his hand in a daze, with mixed feelings.

He had been in the reliance sect for many years, but this was the first time he had felt the warmth of a friend.

In the past, when he interacted with others, it mostly involved a conflict of interest and flattery.

However, this time…

“Forget it.” Liu Changsheng smiled. “If you continue to refuse, it would seem like I really don’t know what’s good for me.”

“That’s right.”

Nan Shan smiled even more happily.

Because the moment Liu Changsheng agreed, the system’s response came into his mind.

[Ding!]

[The investment targeting one-star Liu Changsheng has been completed!]

[Investment item: ‘Traceless sword technique’. Now, a tenfold return will be made. Reward: ‘Thousand square sword technique’!

[Thousand-sided sword technique] (High Bronze grade): It originated from the hands of an ancient almighty swordsman, and less than one-tenth of it has been left. Only the first volume is left. When it is cultivated to perfection, its power is infinite. It can fight against ten groups, and one sword can fight against ten swords. It can fight against Foundation establishment cultivators alone and is not at a disadvantage!]

“Thousand-sided swords… One against ten… Fighting a Foundation Stage cultivator alone…”

Looking at this introduction, Nan Shan instantly became energetic.

No matter how powerful the Traceless sword technique was, it was only a Qi layer cultivation technique.

Whether it was fighting one against many or fighting an enemy that was a large tier higher than him, it was impossible.

He could only fight with people of similar strength.

In comparison, the thousand way sword technique was much more powerful.

Even if he cultivated to the foundation establishment stage, it would still be useful.

If he could obtain the latter volume in the future, he might be able to continue improving!

Infinite upper limit!

Without a second word, he received it directly!

Nan Shan put his hands behind his back, ready to put them into his storage bag when no one was paying attention.

Unexpectedly, the expected heaviness did not appear in his hands.

Instead, he felt a sharp pain in his head.

Countless patterns and insights gathered together at this moment and swarmed into his mind.

“This is…”

Nan Shan’s eyes dimmed slightly. ‘The sword is made of ordinary iron. It is psychic when held, moved by the heart, lived by the blood, and died by not thinking. The art of controlling the sword lies in regulating the breath…’

This was actually the content of the thousand way sword technique!

In an instant, every move of the sword technique, as well as the circulation method of spiritual Qi, were deeply imprinted in the depths of his memory.

It was as if he knew how to use these moves.

Nan Shan’s heart skipped a beat and he tried to use it.

Who would have thought.

The spirit Qi in his aperture acupoints was really mobilized by him, and it quickly flowed into the blue Sword that he had just bought.

The body of the sword lit up instantly, and a strong force was released.

However, he resisted the urge to attack and retracted his spiritual energy. At the same time, he also put the sword into his storage bag.

‘I didn’t expect to be able to learn the cultivation technique rewarded by the system directly. It even allowed me to master the Qi control technique!’

Nan Shan was greatly surprised. He really did not expect it to bring such benefits.

Liu Changsheng, who was at the side, was very surprised to see his actions.

“Junior Brother, are you practicing your Qi control?”

“Yes.” Nan Shan nodded and casually said, “Just now, my sword-wielding avatar felt something, so I gave it a try. I didn’t expect it to really work.”

“Your talent is truly monstrous!”

Liu Changsheng’s face was filled with envy. “With my talent, I can only say that I’m far behind. I’m afraid that I’ll have to call you Senior Brother soon.”

“Senior Brother, you’re too kind. We’re good friends. In the future, you can just call me by my name. Don’t worry about how you address me. The most important thing is to work hard together and join the inner sect as soon as possible!”

“Good fellow, you haven’t even entered the Outer Sect and you’re already thinking about the Inner Sect?”

Liu Changsheng laughed and said seriously, “But then again, Junior Brother, you’ve helped me time and time again. I really don’t know how to repay this favor.”

“Ah, Senior Brother, if you ask me, you’re still too rigid.”

Nan Shan waved his hand casually. “This Traceless sword technique is not some rare treasure. You have to drip your blood on it to recognize you as its owner before you can learn it. It’s the same if you let me learn it after you’ve learned it. You can even make a bunch of copies and sell them to others to learn.”

Liu Changsheng scratched his head.

“Wouldn’t that make this Sword Art known to everyone? if everyone knows it, they won’t have any advantage at all. By then, it’ll be easy for others to break or dismantle the moves.”

“So what? we’re only selling in the sect. Even if we’re fighting, we can’t fight to the death, right?”

Nan Shan stroked his chin and pondered. “The sect rules don’t allow disciples to kill each other, right?”

Liu Changsheng came to a sudden realization and smacked his head. “Junior Brother, your brain is still the fastest! Why didn’t i think of using this method to earn spirit stones?”

“It’s not too late now,” Nan Shan’s gaze swept across the place. there seems to be quite a number of outer sect disciples here. “As long as you lower the price and don’t sell them in large quantities in public, I’m sure many people will pay for them!”

“I’ll get it done later! I’ll give you 80% of the profits!”

Liu Changsheng looked excited, as if he could already see the day when his hands would cramp from counting money.

At this time, Nan Shan suddenly smacked his head.

“It’s broken!”

“What’s wrong?”

“I think we’re going to do a spot check on the recitation of the sect rules today. I forgot!”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already told you in advance. I won’t check you.”

“That’s good, that’s good. I don’t want to be bullied.”

“Hahaha, I’m in charge of receiving the new disciples. How could Senior Brother do such a thing?”

As they talked and laughed, the two continued to stroll around.

Suddenly, there was a disturbance in the depths of the dark workshop.

They all looked over.

A figure was thrown out of a broken window on the second floor. Before he could react in mid-air, he smashed into the stall below into pieces.

From Nan Shan’s perspective.

This person…

There was light on his forehead!
