The two women came to the pile of books with great interest and smiled, "There are two sword manuals, very interesting."
"Sword manuals?" Huang Shirong's interest was immediately piqued upon hearing this.
Wen Qianqian used her sword to pick up one of the manuals and dropped it at Huang Shirong's feet. Xu Mengyu also picked up one and dropped it at Huang Shirong's feet.
Huang Shirong drew her sword and glanced down at the manuals.

"Yin Sha Sword Art."
She softly read out these four words, then looked up at Wen Qianqian, "This sword art sounds eerie just from its name."
"The name is not good," Wen Qianqian nodded in agreement. "But the swordplay is indeed very wonderful."
Huang Shirong gently used the tip of her sword to stick to the cover, flipping it over to look at the sword stance diagram on the first page.
A small figure was holding a sword, striking a strange pose.
The fourth page had eight poses, the fifth page had ten poses, increasing sequentially until the last page, the ninth page, which already had eighteen poses. Chu Zhiyuan found Huang Shirong very interesting.
Everyone had different purposes for practicing martial arts, all for different reasons.
Like himself, he was practicing to achieve immortality. To achieve immortality, one must first avoid dying prematurely, avoid being killed by others. Therefore, one had to desperately practice martial arts for self-preservation, and also, upon reaching the Grandmaster level, one could have a long lifespan. One could even go further and achieve immortality.
Therefore, he was constantly racing against time, wanting to reach a higher realm faster, and find the path to immortality while he was still young.
Some people practice martial arts for fame or profit, to become top experts in the world, gaining both fame and fortune.
Some people practice martial arts to become strong, to bully others without being bullied.
Some people practice martial arts to revitalize their family.
Some people practice martial arts to make a living.
Everyone has their own driving force.
But looking at Huang Shirong, he felt that Huang Shirong herself liked practicing martial arts and liked swordsmanship.
When she looked at the sword manual, her eyes shone, her whole body was shining, so he knew that she herself extremely liked swordsmanship.
Originating from her love, coupled with her top-notch talent, she had her current achievements.
"Interesting... very interesting..." Huang Shirong praised repeatedly, a look of intoxication on her beautiful face.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Yin Sha Sword Art, the swordplay becomes more and more complex, more and more exquisite, killing people invisibly?"
"The later sword stances should be for eliminating traces," Huang Shirong praised. "Concealing all killing intent, murderous aura, and breath, hiding without revealing, and finally unleashing with one sword, severing life and death with one sword."
She gently shook her head, "This swordplay is practiced by oneself. Rather than calling it swordplay, it's more like a mental cultivation method. When facing an enemy, it's just one sword."
It depends on whether one can practice the swordplay to the level mentioned above, whether one can fully grasp its subtleties. The swordplay in the sword manual is almost impossible to practice to an extremely exquisite level.
Because it lacks the most important cultivation experience.
A swordplay has many sword forms and movements, and each movement and posture has several or dozens of key points. The sword manual has limited space and cannot describe them all in detail. It is almost impossible to practice this swordplay to a sufficiently profound level with just a sword manual.
This requires a sufficient understanding of the swordplay and sufficient comprehension to be able to practice top-notch swordplay with just a sword manual. "This swordplay is very wonderful, right?" Wen Qianqian smiled.
Xu Mengyu said, "Senior Sister, this sword art is also very wonderful." Huang Shirong's eyes shone as she looked at another sword manual.
The cover read Da Huan Sword Art.
She used the tip of her sword to stick to the pages, flipping through them one by one. When she finished reading the last page, she let out a long sigh, as if she had drunk a glass of fine wine. She lightly furrowed her brow and pondered, "Like a dream, illusionary, confusing the mind, this swordplay is a bit strange."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Creating illusions for people through special techniques, isn't that a bit miraculous?"
As he spoke, he drew his sword, and the clear sword conjured a soft light, a dreamlike soft light that made it hard for people to turn their eyes away. "..."
Huang Shirong looked at him speechlessly.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "It really works." "What about the Yin Sha Sword Art?" Huang Shirong said.
Chu Zhiyuan thrust out his sword, and the long sword suddenly disappeared. The next moment, the tip of the sword appeared in front of her brow and stopped. Only half a finger's distance away.
"Young Master!" Wen Qianqian was obviously dissatisfied. Xu Mengyu also glared at him.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and retracted his Qingying Sword, returning it to its sheath. "It is indeed a good swordplay." He saw the shadow of the sword art that Cheng Tianfeng had displayed back then.
That was the Tianyin Sword Art, which should be the top sword art of Wentian Cliff. It was most deadly when used with the Tianyin Jue. This Yin Sha Sword Art was naturally far inferior to the Tianyin Sword Art, but compared to ordinary sword arts, it was already extremely powerful.
"...You also practiced it?" Huang Shirong said helplessly, "Young Master, you already knew these two sword arts, right?" Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Perhaps I have a better understanding of swordsmanship."
Huang Shirong gently shook her head and said, "Every time, I always find that I have underestimated your comprehension, Young Master." She felt a sense of frustration at this moment.
Is the gap between people really that big?
Are there really geniuses in the world who are born with knowledge? Such exquisite sword arts, learned at a glance, mastered with practice?
When others said this about themselves, they still felt inexplicable. Now they finally understood their feelings.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Cheng Tianfeng used a similar set of swordplay before, and I almost fell for it. Afterwards, I carefully studied it. When I see something similar again, I will learn it at a glance. If I hadn't seen it before, I wouldn't be able to do it so quickly." "What about the Da Huan Sword Art?"
"It seems you haven't learned Elder Gu's set of swordplay yet," Chu Zhiyuan smiled. "After you learn it, you will know."
Huang Shirong smiled, "Young Master doesn't need to comfort me, I can take it."
The Young Master's comprehension is strong, that is his own good fortune. She is already a rare genius in the world, there is no need to compare with him.
"That set of swordplay is three points more exquisite than this set," Chu Zhiyuan smiled. "Once you learn that one, you don't need to learn this one anymore." Wen Qianqian said, "After this, I want to go back and learn this set of swordplay from Elder Gu."
Xu Mengyu glanced at her with a smile and shook her head.
"Senior Sister Xu, you're laughing at me again!" Wen Qianqian snorted, "What's so funny about that?" Xu Mengyu looked at Chu Zhiyuan.
Wen Qianqian suddenly realized and giggled charmingly, "Young Master, rather than going back to learn from Elder Gu, why don't you teach us?" Chu Zhiyuan laughed.
Huang Shirong said unhappily, "Junior Sister Wen, Junior Sister Xu, hurry up and get back to business!"
They were thinking too beautifully.
Elder Gu insisted on getting this swordplay, and the Young Master has been unhappy about it. How could he pass it on to them again? Chu Zhiyuan said, "Alright, I'll pass it on to Hall Master Huang and let Hall Master Huang pass it on to you."
"Hehe, thank you, Young Master!" Wen Qianqian immediately smiled happily. Xu Mengyu also pursed her lips and smiled to express her thanks.
Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, signaling them to get back to business.
"There's nothing left to search, it's all been scraped clean," Wen Qianqian said, "There might be secret rooms or something, but that would be difficult to find."
Chu Zhiyuan didn't find any secret rooms in this small courtyard, obviously not considering it a real lair, but just a temporary residence.
His gaze wandered over the pile of swords, and finally he picked out two dim long swords from inside, covered in dust. Chu Zhiyuan used the Qingying Sword to pick them out: "Po Gang Divine Weapons."
He felt surprised.
Only the imperial court could take out thirty-six Po Gang Divine Weapons at once. The material is strange and rare, and few martial arts sects have them. Yet, there are two in a Jade Cauldron Sect lair. How many Po Gang Divine Weapons does the Jade Cauldron Sect have in total?
Are Po Gang Divine Weapons not becoming commonplace?
