?Chapter 665: Chapter 665: Acquire Sword_1 Chapter 665: Chapter 665: Acquire Sword_1 Xu Fan said with a faint smile, “The opportunity for my breakthrough came from you; this is the fortune you deserve.”
Qin Qinglong said with clasped hands, “Patron Xu is really too polite; such words make me feel ashamed.
If it wasn’t for Patron Xu’s rescue earlier, I’m afraid I would have died already.
I haven’t even repaid the life-saving grace; how dare I accept any further kindness from you?”
Xu Fan said, “Don’t be in a hurry to refuse.
I have sealed some martial arts knowledge in your mind, with a total of three locks.
Once you reach the King level, the first lock will open, granting you the corresponding martial arts knowledge.
Afterwards, when you reach the Heavenly Venerable Realm and the Dongxu Realm, the second and third locks will open in succession.
With this martial arts knowledge, I believe your cultivation path will be much smoother, reducing difficulties.”
Although Xu Fan spoke lightly, how could Qin Qinglong not know the immense value of this?
Coming back to his senses, Qin Qinglong couldn’t help but flush with excitement and agitation.
“Patron Xu’s words…
are they really true?” Qin Qinglong stuttered, even struggling to speak clearly.
Xu Fan nodded with a smile.
?????.??
Shen Jianting, standing at the side, felt a heart full of envy and jealousy at this moment.
The opportunity that Qin Qinglong had received even made him turn green with envy.
What status did Xu Fan have?
With his strength, he was someone that countless people of this world looked up to.
The martial arts knowledge from such a powerhouse was not something that could be measured by value; it was truly a priceless treasure.
Without a doubt, this was going to make Qin Qinglong’s future cultivation smoother.
Especially those cultivation breakthroughs that halted countless others, these would no longer be a problem for Qin Qinglong.
Qi Drawing, Grandmaster, King, Heavenly Venerable, Dongxu—each breakthrough was a massive threshold.
From ancient times to the present, countless ancient martial artists have fallen at these thresholds.
One of the greatest difficulties among these was the lack of accumulated martial arts knowledge to understand the next realm.
And this martial arts knowledge could only be comprehended but not explained; even a master could only teach you some combat techniques and skills at most.
Even if they tried to explain forcefully, without the requisite realm, you simply could not understand.
However, the method Xu Fan used was going to allow Qin Qinglong to perceive the imparted martial arts knowledge without any barriers.
In fact, breaking through to the Dongxu Realm was a process of forming the Golden Core, but nowadays, cultivators had not summarized the methods to condense the Golden Core, which is why Dongxu-level powerhouses were so rare.
But now, with Xu Fan’s gift, it goes without saying that Qin Qinglong’s probability of reaching the Dongxu level was at least several times easier than others.
And once someone broke through to the Dongxu level, it meant becoming one of the top powerhouses of the current age.
Such a rare opportunity was something you could only stumble upon and not seek.
How could this not make Qin Qinglong feel excited and agitated?
“Thank you Patron Xu; I will definitely remember this in my heart!” Qin Qinglong bowed deeply and said earnestly.
Xu Fan waved his hand, lifting Qin Qinglong with a surge of force.
He said with a faint smile, “There’s no need for this; this is, after all, the reward you deserve.”
Qin Qinglong’s heart was filled with immense gratitude that he could not express in words; he could only secretly vow to repay Xu Fan if there was a chance in the future.
Shen Jianting beside him was equally envious.
If this news were to spread, who knows how many people would scramble for a similar opportunity from Xu Fan, sparing no expense.
This was far beyond the realm of measurable value.
Shen Jianting looked towards Xu Fan, his gaze becoming extremely fervent.
Xi Fan could seal martial arts experiences into Qin Qinglong’s mind, so similarly, it must be possible to seal them into his own mind.
Moreover, with the support of the Sword Heaven Sect behind him, they should be able to offer a price that would satisfy Xi Fan.
At that time, he would be unstoppable.
However, he immediately suppressed this thought.
“This is a path laid out by others, no matter how easy it is to follow, it is not my own!”
“I, Shen Jianting, am not an ordinary person.
I will naturally forge my own path!”
“Even without relying on anyone else, I can still reach the pinnacle of martial arts.
I am who I am, never seeking help from anyone else!”
In Shen Jianting’s heart, a storm surged, tumultuous and relentless.
And then, enlightenment dawned upon him.
As enlightenment emerged, Shen Jianting’s gaze became unprecedentedly bright, and his presence suddenly rose, with his temperament undergoing a transformation as if heaven and earth had been overturned.
The sword on his back seemed to respond to this change as well, emitting a series of resonating sounds, trembling continuously.
Qin Qinglong couldn’t help but look at Shen Jianting with surprise.
If before Shen Jianting were a Peerless Treasured Sword sheathed within its scabbard, then now, this Peerless Sword seemed to have been drawn from its sheath, its momentum astonishing!
Xi Fan also looked at Shen Jianting with some surprise.
He clearly understood Shen Jianting’s transformation; he did not expect that Shen Jianting would possess such potential and, in that sense, he considered him to be a promising talent.
To abandon the path created by predecessors, to pave one’s own through thistles and thorns, takes a resolution not just anyone would have the courage to make.
If Shen Jianting were to succeed, his future achievements could be said to be bright…
Immediately after, Xi Fan’s gaze left Shen Jianting, and with a flash, when he returned to his original position, he held a sword in his hand.
This sword, over half a meter long, seemed to carry an ancient desolation when held, as if a breath from ancient times was rushing forth.
This sword was indeed the Treasured Sword guarded by the Thunderclap Strange Serpent swarm.
“This sword…”
Upon seeing the sword in Xi Fan’s hand, Shen Jianting’s breathing suddenly became rapid.
The sword he carried on his back trembled even more fiercely, as if responding in kind.
“This is a fine sword, and now, it belongs to you!” Xi Fan appraised the Treasured Sword in his hand for a moment, then threw it to Shen Jianting without any reluctance.
Shen Jianting caught the Treasured Sword, inspecting it over and over, drawing it from its sheath and then sheathing it again, growing fonder with every look.
His hand gently caressed it as if caressing the flesh of his heart, his eyes brimming with obsession.
Often, those who appreciate good swords can create greater achievements in the Sword Dao.
