Chapter 189: I Didn't Add to Myself(2/2)
A voice came from inside: "Come in."
Jin Ziming walked in, closed the door and greeted Elder Sheng with a smile.
The other party was sorting out documents and sundries, looking depressed and less interested.
He looked at Jin Ziming listlessly and asked in surprise:
"Elder Jin, I didn't expect that now that my place is deserted and all my previous 'friends' are gone, you are actually here to see me. Is there anything wrong?"
"It's okay. I was originally going to see you last month, but I had to go to Nanfengzhou for something unexpected and was delayed.
I just returned to Fuying yesterday, and I came to see you today."
Elder Sheng looked at him with interest and said:
"Elder Jin, don't you know yet? I will be demoted back to the headquarters soon.
If you want to talk to me about business, it's best to come back in a few days. The person who picks me up will be here by then, and you can talk to him."
"Oh, you misunderstood, I'm not here to discuss business.
At such a young age, you are already a swordsman in the combined stage. I have always admired you very much.
Privately, I also regretted that if it hadn't been for the mundane things like the branch office that delayed you, how amazing would your achievements in kendo have been?
In fact, the complex affairs of the sect can just be left to the Golden Pill or Nascent Soul like me, and we really shouldn’t disturb the great power of integration.”
Elder Sheng's bitter face showed a little sparkle and asked:
"You really think so?"
"Yes, I have a grudge. I want to ask you a favor."
Elder Sheng thought he was going to talk about official business again and immediately became alert.
"What's up?"
"It's like this. My ancestors were a wealthy cultivator family, but unfortunately they declined later. My ancestors were also sword cultivators and were as obsessed with swordsmanship as you are."
What Jin Ziming said was barely a lie, but what followed was all nonsense:
"The ancestors handed down a set of 'Ethereal Killing Swords'. Unfortunately, I am a swordsman and have never been able to understand its true meaning and its power.
I burned a sword manual and wanted to ask Elder Sheng to help me see if this sword technique has any value.
If not, I will simply trade it with the sect for a sword technique."
After speaking, he took out a jade slip and handed it to the other party.
Elder Sheng hesitated for a moment, then felt relieved. Why don't you just help others check it out? He is about to leave, so why should he cherish the feathers as before?
After taking it, I soaked it with my soul, and my expression soon changed drastically.
He put down the jade slip and said solemnly:
"Elder Jin, your ancestors are extraordinary.
This sword technique is extremely powerful, the moves are light and sharp, and the killing is decisive but unpredictable. I guess it is the sword manual of a late Mahayana monk."
"Ah, it's really valuable? That's great.
I'll burn a few more copies when I get back, and when I see my sword cultivator friend in the future, I'll give him a copy, but it won't be of much use if I keep it here anyway."
The other party was surprised and said:
"Elder Jin, I'm afraid you don't understand its value. This is definitely a top-notch swordsmanship."
Jin Ziming sighed:
"I'm a swordsman, so it's useless for me to give you a brilliant sword manual. It can only be used as a reference at most."
His eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"Elder Sheng, how about this? You can practice this sword technique first.
Then tell me the essence, and preferably give me some suggestions, how can I integrate it into the knife technique?
I am just a small cultivator of golden elixirs, and the things you can sum up are tens of thousands of times better than what I can guess.
Hey, I finally figured out how to use this sword manual, great!" Jin Ziming showed an extremely "excited" look.
Elder Sheng was a little moved, but also a little hesitant.
"Isn't this not good?"
