Chapter 486: Annoying Young Disciple
Having decided on what he was going to do over the next few days, Xuan Hao didn’t stand around outside his pavilion for long. Soon jumping into the air before heading towards the pagoda of enlightenment to see if he could find some new skills and techniques that he could teach his disciples.
In the first place, Xuan Hao had already realized just how bad it was for him to only have learned around a dozen or so different techniques given his current cultivation realm!
Take Feng Chen as an example, the sheer number of sword techniques available to him numbered in the hundreds, if not thousands!
On the other hand, Xuan Hao only knew around five or so sword techniques…
Even if they were way higher level than the ones Feng Chen had learned, it still didn’t change the fact that Feng Chen was far more experienced and would have a far easier time compared to him when it came to teaching anyone the way of the sword.
Having a sword domain did not really provide any assistance when it came to teaching his disciples the fundamentals regarding the sword and that was not even mentioning the fact that one of his disciple’s was using a spear. Not a sword…
With such a small number of techniques available to him. How in the world was he possibly going to be able to properly teach his three disciples…?
What in the world have I been doing up till now?
Smiling wryly as he remembered just how little he had done for his three disciples during the time he had taken them in, Xuan Hao steeled himself to become a better teacher and at least be able to help them out more when it came to improving the skills, they excelled in.
Learning spear techniques to help Chu Yang improve his spear techniques, learn blacksmithing to help Bai Ning forge high level artifacts and weapons, and finally, increase his alchemy so he could help out Qing Yi when she inevitably reached the Artisan Realm in the future!
Thump~
Landing on the ground in front of the pagoda of enlightenment, where the different techniques of the Flying Sword Sect were stored, Xuan Hao directly entered after greeting the elder standing guard in front of the pagoda.
“I should look around the first floor first and try to pick out a few of the lower-level techniques first…”
Muttering this to himself as he entered the first floor of the pagoda of enlightenment, Xuan Hao suddenly came to a stop upon noticing a few disciples passing by in front of him.
It was only at this moment that Xuan Hao realized that the first floor of the pagoda was almost completely filled up with the younger Qi Condensation Realm disciples! Not only that, but a quick scan with his divine sense also revealed the fact that disciples were present on the floors above him.
“…”
Not saying a single word, Xuan Hao quickly disguised himself as a young disciple before any of the disciples had the chance to recognize him. The last thing he wanted, was for a swarm of young disciples coming over to disturb him while he was busy reading…
“Hey, have you guys heard about the recent events at the tempest sect?”
“Haha, you talking about the thing that happened to their supreme elder? That was indeed hilarious, a senior brother of mine was present and recorded the entire thing with a special technique!”
“Really!? You have to show me!”
Listening to the small talk from the nearby disciples standing close to the entrance of the pagoda talking about recent events happening inside the Flying Sword Sect territory, Xuan Hao could not help breathing out a sigh of relief. He had not been spotted by any of the young disciples before disguising himself!
I should look for some spear techniques first. After all, what I’m lacking in the most when it comes to teaching Chu Yang, is the fact that I haven’t really learned any spear techniques. At this point Chu Yang should have far exceed my level when it comes to the spear…
Shaking his head as he thought about this, Xuan Hao decided to first go and find the foundational low level spear techniques located on the first floor of the pagoda of enlightenment.
First, he would learn a few spear techniques on the first floor of the pagoda before moving on to the higher floors, where the more complex techniques would be located.
“Hello! Are you new? I don’t think I have seen you before…”
“Yes.”
Hearing the voice of a young girl from behind him just as he was about to pick up a spear technique from the bookshelf in front of him, Xuan Hao casually answered without bothering to turn around. Picking out the spear technique as he began reading through it.
“I thought so! If you need any help, just say it! I know where all the techniques on the first floor are located! I even know where the higher-level techniques hidden away on the first floor are located! Not only that, but-”
“…”
Not bothering to answer the young girl talking behind him as she began talking about all sorts of different hidden techniques and their location on the first floor, Xuan Hao continued reading through the spear technique he had taken out.
[Foundational Spear]
A simple spear technique suited for cultivators between the Qi Condensation Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm. The reason why Xuan Hao had chosen this spear technique, was because it helped one lay a solid foundation to improve one’s comprehension of the spear in the future.
The Foundational Spear technique allowed one to transition to higher level spear techniques more easily in the future.
From what he knew, Chu Yang should also have trained a similar spear technique before he had been handed over the Soul Spear Divine Mantra. Back then, due to his mastery of his foundational spear technique, he had easily managed to adapt to the Soul Spear Divine Mantra and learn it within a short period of time.
Because of this, Xuan Hao also planned to learn a spear technique that would help him establish a solid foundation before beginning to comprehend the Divine Soul Spear Mantra that Chu Yang was practicing.
This way, he would be able to easily help out Chu Yang whenever he encountered any trouble regarding his cultivation mantra, or the spear moves inside of it.
“-after the divine spirit mantra, there is also the- Ah! Your leaving!?”
Having already picked out the spear technique that he was planning to learn, Xuan Hao was about to take his leave, when the young girl who had been talking for the last 10 or so minutes straight suddenly stopped him by placing herself in front of him with a sad expression. Tears threatening to fall at any moment.
“…”
Not knowing what to say when confronted with something like this, Xuan Hao just looked speechlessly at the young girl in front of him looking like she was about to start crying at any moment.
In the first place, he had barely even talked to her, yet she appeared like she was about to cry the moment he turned to leave…
What in the world is with this girl…?
Thinking this to himself as he looked over the young girl, Xuan Hao could not help showing a slightly surprised expression upon noticing how unique her appearance was.
Outside of her pure yellow cat like eyes, the young girl had long flowy dark hair that almost reached down to her feet. Looking quite funny given her short height.
“Hm…? Fang Yu?”
“Ah!? Do you know me!?”
“Yes, I think I saw you when visiting the Formation Hall in the past. It’s just… You looked taller back then…”
Not revealing his identity, Xuan Hao just mentioned that he had visited the Formation Hall in the past and had seen her there. In the first place, she had already become a member of the Formation Hall, so it would not be too weird if he had seen her there before.
More importantly, Xuan Hao was curious about why Fang Yu suddenly seemed to have shrunk in size… Well, most her had shrunk in size. For some reason, her hair seemed to have not been affected at all and was still the same length that he remembered…
“This… Ahm! I-I had a small accident during an experiment when trying to set up a new formation… Ah! No, it’s not like I’m bad at setting up formations or anything like that!”
“No need to worry, I’m not saying your bad with formations or anything like that, I was just a bit curious about why you seemed to have shrunk in size…”
Shaking his head as he watched Fang Yu look like she was about to start crying at any point once again, Xuan Hao could not help thinking that whatever had reduced her size, also seemed to have decreased her mental age in the process…
