Fu Biqiong frowned, looking at him.
Chu Zhiyuan held out his hand: “Sword.”
Although Li Yuzhen was surprised, her reaction was extremely quick. Her jade hand reached out, drawing the long sword from her waist and tossing it to him.
With the long sword in hand, Chu Zhiyuan lightly shook it and slowly said, “Although the Azure Bamboo Swordplay is wonderful, it is not a top-tier sword technique.” Fu Biqiong's delicate face darkened.
The Azure Bamboo Swordplay was like her own child.
She knew her child had weaknesses and wasn't strong, but hearing others say it made her uncomfortable.
Of course, she knew the Azure Bamboo Swordplay wasn't a top-tier sword technique.
But knowing it herself and hearing others say it felt different.
Before Li Yuzhen and Fu Biqiong, it was as if a vast bamboo forest appeared, with green waves surging in the wind.
When Chu Zhiyuan stopped, the bamboo forest before them still lingered, swaying endlessly.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, holding the sword and looking at Fu Biqiong: “Sect Leader Fu, what do you think of this Emerald Bamboo Swordplay?”
He had obtained this sword technique inheritance from the Soul Comprehension Pearl.
The inheritances left within the Soul Comprehension Pearl were naturally left by Venerables, with extraordinary realms and, of course, extraordinary power.
“Good swordplay.” Fu Biqiong couldn't lie against her conscience.
One set of Azure Bamboo Swordplay, one set of Emerald Bamboo Swordplay, seemingly with similar artistic conceptions.
But whether it was the realm or the charm, the Emerald Bamboo Swordplay was superior.
For those who cultivated the Azure Bamboo Swordplay, practicing the Emerald Bamboo Swordplay would be a seamless transition.
If she could really obtain this set of Emerald Bamboo Swordplay, the Azure Bamboo Sect's strength would inevitably rise to another level.
With stronger strength, she wouldn't have to hide everywhere like a stray dog as she did now.
What about the Remnant Sun Sect? If they dared to kill her disciples, she would kill them without hesitation!
Thinking of this, her eyes burned as she looked at Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “How about exchanging this sword technique for that Clear Heart Incantation?”
“Not enough.” Fu Biqiong hesitated for a moment and slowly shook her head.
Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.
Li Yuzhen said, “Sect Leader Fu, the effect of your Clear Heart Incantation is to prevent the intrusion of demonic arts and maintain clarity.
Besides that, what other wonderful uses does it have?”
“This is already its greatest use, allowing one to practice demonic arts without being harmed by them.”
“That's only effective for those who practice demonic arts. However, those who practice demonic arts may not necessarily need it. Demonic arts only make them more extreme.
This kind of extreme will make cultivation progress faster. Without this extreme, progress will be slower instead.”
Fu Biqiong gently shook her head: “But this kind of extreme will make it difficult to raise one's realm.”
This was precisely the true value of the Clear Heart Incantation.
Li Yuzhen said, “Sect Leader Fu, the difficulty in raising one's realm isn't just a matter of having or not having the Clear Heart Incantation, it's a matter of aptitude and the demonic art itself.”
Fu Biqiong shook her head.
Li Yuzhen said, “No matter how strong a demonic art is, it can't defy the heavens and allow someone with poor aptitude to cultivate and cultivate so quickly. All of this is obtained by overdrawing potential, and by the Transformation Intent realm, the potential will be exhausted.”
Fu Biqiong said: “Practicing the Clear Heart Incantation will still help in breaking through to become a Venerable.”
“Then your Azure Bamboo Sect has all practiced the Clear Heart Incantation, right? How many have become Venerables?”
Fu Biqiong was immediately speechless.
If another Venerable emerged within the sect, she wouldn't have to be so miserable now.
“So the Clear Heart Incantation can't defy fate, but this sword technique, I believe Sect Leader Fu, you've also seen it. Its improvement to the Azure Bamboo Sect's strength is enormous, it's immediate, it can change the fate of your Azure Bamboo Sect!”
She said to here, shaking her head: “If we really exchange, your Azure Bamboo Sect will gain a great advantage, but Sect Leader Fu, you are being too greedy.”
Fu Biqiong frowned and glared at her.
Li Yuzhen said, “If you miss this opportunity because of this, Sect Leader Fu, you will be a sinner of your Azure Bamboo Sect!”
“Alright.” Chu Zhiyuan smiled and waved his hand.
He didn't expect the usually taciturn Li Yuzhen to have such sharp eloquence.
She made it sound like this exchange was a great advantage for the Azure Bamboo Sect and he was taking a big loss.
In fact, Fu Biqiong had indeed hit on the wonderful use of the Clear Heart Incantation.
The erosion of demonic arts, after forming demonic thoughts, has a great impact.
Not only on daily actions, but also on the cultivation of mental techniques, and more importantly, on the comprehension of martial skills.
Like the Azure Bamboo Swordplay, if there was no Clear Heart Incantation, the Azure Bamboo Sect disciples would hardly be able to comprehend it, unable to obtain its artistic conception.
This was the true wonderful use of the Clear Heart Incantation.
Of course, for Chu Zhiyuan, the important role of the Clear Heart Incantation was to promote it and make it a compulsory technique for Demonic Sects and Demonic Clans, thereby eliminating demonic thoughts.
Demonic thoughts would affect cultivation and even affect one's usual temperament, making one extreme and irritable.
It was very easy to start fights, leading to injuries and grudges at best, and deaths at worst.
This had a great impact on the治安 (zhì ān - public security) of the entire dynasty.
Every year, countless geniuses died in meaningless martial arts feuds.
More importantly, with it, he might be able to change the Emperor's mind about banning demonic arts.
He would then have the opportunity to control the Flying Cloud Sect.
The Flying Cloud Sect was his real target, the informant he had chosen for himself.
Although the Flying Cloud Sect was only a Demonic Sect near the imperial city, it was the main force behind the Thousand Machine Pavilion.
He believed that the Thousand Machine Pavilion was not only in the imperial city of the Jade Scene Dynasty, but also in the Phoenix Dynasty.
Once he went to the Phoenix Dynasty and entered the Consort's Mansion, he would be deaf and blind.
If he wanted to be neither deaf nor blind, he would have to have his own informants, and the Flying Cloud Sect was the best choice.
Thinking of this, Chu Zhiyuan slowly said, “This Emerald Bamboo Swordplay is a Second-Rank martial art, which is already the greatest sincerity I can offer. Otherwise, Sect Leader Fu, would you consider it?”
“Second-Rank?” Fu Biqiong busily said.
Chu Zhiyuan said, “I wouldn't lie about this.”
“Okay.” Fu Biqiong bit her lip and said in a deep voice: “Then let's exchange!”
Chu Zhiyuan clapped his hands and laughed: “A wise move!”
Fu Biqiong showed a complicated expression and sighed: “I really don't know if I'm being foolish.”
Chu Zhiyuan said: “Will spreading this Clear Heart Incantation affect the Azure Bamboo Sect's position and strength?”
Fu Biqiong hesitated for a moment and shook her head.
Chu Zhiyuan said: “Will practicing the Emerald Bamboo Swordplay improve the Azure Bamboo Sect's strength and position?”
“Yes.” Fu Biqiong nodded readily.
This was certain.
The Azure Bamboo Swordplay was only Fourth-Rank, not yet among the Third-Rank.
But the Emerald Bamboo Swordplay was Second-Rank, and the difference was huge.
It was rare that the Azure Bamboo Sect could have its current strength with the Fourth-Rank Azure Bamboo Swordplay.
The core secret was that there was a strange bamboo forest within the sect, a sacred place for disciples to comprehend the Azure Bamboo Swordplay.
Comprehending the Azure Bamboo Swordplay in the strange bamboo forest pushed it to a very high level, so it could stand in the world with a Fourth-Rank swordplay.
Now with the Emerald Bamboo Swordplay, the Azure Bamboo Sect could step into the ranks of the Flying Cloud Sect, and it might even be better.
Imagining the future situation of the Azure Bamboo Sect, excitement and exhilaration welled up in her heart.
The original listlessness and anger had disappeared without a trace, leaving only excitement.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: “This needs to be transmitted heart-to-heart, can Sect Leader Fu rest assured?”
“...Yes.” Fu Biqiong said in a deep voice: “Wait a moment.”
She raised her voice and called out: “Xiao Zheng.”
“Master.”
In a crisp reply, a girl in green clothes floated over from above the courtyard wall.
Chu Zhiyuan knew that she had been standing in the next courtyard, listening attentively, and knew what had happened.
This well-proportioned and slender beautiful girl was a top-notch Transformation Intent expert.
Obviously, she was Fu Biqiong's successor, who would inherit the Azure Bamboo Sect in the future.
