Chapter 25: The Idea of Creating a Sword Technique

At this moment, the voice of Qingling echoed in Ye Lin's mind, "Good lad, you have ambition. I just admire that cocky attitude of yours."

Over the past ten years, through constant tempering and with Qingling's help, Ye Lin had also mastered Sword Intent.

Han Shi had reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, and Wang Yuyan had reached the fourth level. Unlike Ye Lin, they were not constantly on the path of Cultivation.

They would Cultivate when they felt like it and go out to play when they wanted to. The two of them often traveled to enjoy the mountains and rivers, witnessing many different landscapes and cultures.

Now, they also had an additional task: raising their daughter.

The three of them chatted for a while longer before leaving.

At this time, Su Yu was preparing to go to the Utility Disciple area to give a lecture; he only came to lecture once a month.

There weren't many people attending the lecture, but it wasn't exactly sparse either, which made him quite satisfied.

After all, he wasn't the only one giving lectures, and among the lecturers, his strength was only at an average level; naturally, people preferred to listen to those with higher strength.

Soon, Su Yu arrived at the area for Utility Disciples. Walking along the way, he saw the looks of anticipation for the future in the eyes of the newly entered Utility Disciples.

Each and every one of them looked high-spirited.

When it comes to Cultivation, everyone is basically like that when they first encounter it, believing they can achieve anything.

However, while some people are like that, others are different.

As Su Yu walked along the road, quite a few people greeted him.

Arriving at the place where the Elder of Miscellaneous Affairs gave lectures, many Elders were lecturing today, and most of the Disciples had come.

As the lecture began, Su Yu stepped onto the podium and looked at the Disciples below; today was decent, with about half the seats filled.

In contrast, the lectures by others with higher cultivation levels were basically packed with people.

As Su Yu's lecture progressed, the Disciples below were listening attentively, but there were still some who fell asleep while listening—it was exactly like him in the past.

However, most of them were listening very seriously. Among them, one Disciple particularly liked his lectures; the way that student looked at him during class made him feel a bit uneasy.

After finishing the lecture, he basically had nothing else to do. At this moment, Su Yu prepared to collect some more sword techniques, as he intended to create a sword technique of his own.

That would be "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin." In the novels of his past life, this Cultivation Technique was extremely prestigious. Who wouldn't want the spectacle of shouting "Sword, come!" and having ten thousand swords fill the sky?

Su Yu also wanted that, even though this kind of move didn't really suit a Passerby like him.

But knowing how to do it and actually using it are two different things.

As his understanding of swordsmanship grew deeper, Su Yu wanted to realize this dream more and more. Since such a Cultivation Technique didn't exist, he would create one himself.

He acted immediately. Over the years, he had read through every sword technique available in the Sect, and he already had some inspiration.

But he always felt something was missing.

Then he realized that the sword techniques he had read were basically those used by cultivators.

Because "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin" encompasses the sword techniques of all things, his current version lacked a bit of mortal aura.

That's right, it was missing the mundane Martial Skills that hadn't reached the level of Cultivation sword techniques.

Therefore, Su Yu decided to go to the mortal world to learn some Martial Skills to perfect "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin."

After Su Yu gave some instructions, he hired a few Disciples who knew how to tend the Sect's spirit fields to look after them for him.

As for the lectures, an Elder could apply to be excused if they had matters to attend to or were going into seclusion.

Su Yu stepped onto his longsword, transformed into a streak of light, and disappeared within the Profound Heaven Sect.

Su Yu arrived at a place very far from the Profound Heaven Sect. There were no cultivators here, but there were many Martial Artists.

This place made him very satisfied.

Su Yu changed his attire and entered the city. This city was named Fengyang City, and it was laid out with many martial arts halls.

But Su Yu did not intend to join a martial arts hall; he first bought a house in this city.

Just after arriving at his new house, his neighbor came over.

He enthusiastically invited Su Yu to his house for a meal. Looking at his demeanor, Su Yu couldn't refuse; besides, it was a good chance to gather some information.

Arriving at the neighbor's house, he learned the neighbor was named Liu Hang. He had a wife and a son, and it seemed he lived a very happy life.

Liu Hang looked at Su Yu and said, "Brother Su, you must have just arrived here, right?"

"That's right, I just arrived here and don't know anything."

Liu Hang said happily, "Brother Su, you've come to the right place. This is a great place. Do you know about cultivators?"

Su Yu scratched his head, "I've heard people in my village say that there are cultivators in this world, but I've never actually seen one, and I don't know if it's true or false."

Liu Hang looked smug at this moment, "To tell you the truth, an Immortal passed through our Fengyang City a hundred years ago and even took a Disciple back with them."

"Oh, is that so? It seems I've come to the right place."

"But then again, Brother Su, encountering an Immortal fate is extremely difficult. Who doesn't want to step onto the path of immortality and ascend to the heavens in one step?"

Su Yu nodded, "I never had that intention. I came here because I took a fancy to the martial arts atmosphere here."

Liu Hang laughed, "Then you've come to the right place. Although there are no Immortal fates, martial arts are prevalent here, and basically everyone knows some martial arts."

Su Yu had also come to Fengyang City precisely for this reason.

"Brother Liu, do you have any methods for learning martial arts? Or any leads?"

Liu Hang thought for a moment, "As for that, you can buy most Martial Skills with money, but the core ones are basically controlled by the martial arts halls, or they are with the City Lord."

After understanding the basic situation, he returned home.

Su Yu thought, finally he would have to join a martial arts hall to learn Martial Skills. He was already at the Nascent Soul Stage; what could he not get?

He could know everything in this kind of city with a single sweep of his Divine Sense; he could just look at them and learn them at home.

With that said, Su Yu used his Divine Sense to scan and find some sword techniques he deemed useful, and then he began to learn them.

The next morning, Su Yu had already mastered various sword techniques. With his current learning efficiency, it wouldn't take long before he finished learning them all.

But he wasn't the type to just Cultivate blindly; he believed in balancing work and rest.

Over the past few days, Su Yu had opened a small shop in Fengyang City.

He now spent his days in the shop, or went fishing, and practiced sword techniques at night.

Life in Fengyang City was quite comfortable, and his relationship with Liu Hang's family was also quite good.

Especially Liu Hang's child, Liu Hao, who loved coming to find Su Yu to play, because Su Yu ran a small shop, and the things in the shop fascinated him.

Su Yu let the child play freely, and occasionally told him little stories.

Liu Hao was currently learning Martial Skills at a martial arts hall, and his father hoped he would achieve success and be able to land an official position in Fengyang City in the future.

However, Liu Hao's talent for martial arts was not high, and Su Yu had also probed Liu Hao and found that he had no Spiritual Root.

But he was more than capable of guiding Liu Hao, which made Liu Hao run over here every day.

Because what Su Yu taught was much more useful than what the martial arts hall taught. But Su Yu couldn't stay here forever; it wouldn't be long before he had to leave because he had almost finished learning the sword techniques of Fengyang City.

His ideas for "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin" were becoming deeper, and he had a premonition that it was almost complete.
