In his impression—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This junior of his had always been calm and thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, something felt a bit off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yu’er explained, “It’s not exactly an idea. More like a guess I made after meeting with Elder Bing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s hear it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Free Sword King didn’t expect to take the guess seriously, but since Yu’er brought it up, as her ancestor, he at least had to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yu’er said, “I think Elder Bing is planning to learn from Chief Chu—she wants to adopt his method of training disciples and apply it to her own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Free Sword King was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha… Yu’er, that’s a bold guess indeed. If Elder Bing heard that, she’d scold you for sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, don’t say such things again. If you have time, go visit Elder Bing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She promised her disciples she’d return to teach, so she likely won’t stay in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute for too long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yu’er nodded slightly and didn’t say more. After all, the gap between her and Elder Bing was far too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Granddaughter takes her leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youqian returned to Wendao Academy, fully loaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t head to the Miscellaneous Dao Institute right away, but instead went to the Alchemy Institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He currently had eighty-one jade slips in hand—still nineteen short of his target of one hundred techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew his own comprehension and talent weren’t anything extraordinary. These eighty-one techniques might not be enough to help him master fist intent or grasp the essence of fusion within Taiji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he decided to ask the Alchemy Institute to help him spread the word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Cao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Cao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, disciples from the Alchemy Institute greeted him one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike before, the way they looked at Cao Youqian now held a bit of reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youqian knew they were wary of his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, people only respect a man when he earns it with his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first person he sought out was his old nemesis, Cao Youde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qian, what brings you to me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Cao Youde saw him, he shivered instinctively. A single thought sprang into his mind—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This guy isn’t here to settle old scores, is he?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If he punches me, this skinny body won’t hold up.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he was now a cultivator at the True Fate Realm, he had only awakened a Royal Body and wasn’t good at fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was nowhere near the same league as someone like Cao Youqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever request Cao Youqian had, if it spared him a beating, Cao Youde was ready to agree to anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youqian stared at him with a teasing look and smiled. “Brother De, I still prefer your arrogant, cocky face.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youde forced out a bitter smile. “Brother Qian, let’s not joke like that. I was in the wrong back then, and I apologize now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how cautious he was, Cao Youqian couldn’t even be bothered to lecture him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’m not here to cause trouble. I just want your help with something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phew…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youde let out a long breath of relief and asked cheerfully, “What is it, Brother Qian? As long as it’s within my ability, I’ll do it without a second thought!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t make it sound like I’m asking you to walk through fire or leap off a cliff.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youqian said with mild annoyance, “I want you to help me collect twenty fist or body-refining techniques that are priced between one and ten spirit stones each.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youde’s forehead filled with question marks when he heard that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had imagined that one day, Cao Youqian might come looking for trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe extort some spirit stones from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this situation—was something he had never considered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This little errand won’t trouble Brother De, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youqian asked unhurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s nothing. Give me three days—within three days, I’ll have twenty manuals ready for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youde then added, “By the way, Brother Qian, do you have any other requirements?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youqian looked thoughtful and pulled out a pile of low-grade jade slips from his storage pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to collect any of these. Save us both the time and avoid duplicates.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qian, do you mind if I take a look at what’s inside the jade slips first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youde asked tentatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter nodded slightly, showing a nonchalant expression of indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youde immediately injected his divine sense into the jade slips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After browsing through all eighty-one of them, he was completely numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qian… what the heck are you doing with all these trash-tier techniques?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youqian smiled. “I want to put a bookshelf in my room. Planning to fill it with these manuals for decoration.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t stupid—of course he wouldn’t tell the real reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youde didn’t show any unusual reaction. He was already used to this kind of thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Qian was still Brother Qian. Even if he had gotten stronger—and gone bald—his reckless, prodigal nature hadn’t changed at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then… can I tell others that you’re the buyer? That might make things easier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem. Once you’ve bought them, just tell me the cost in spirit stones, and I’ll pay for them when we exchange.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youqian said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re both direct descendants of the Cao family. Talking about money? Come on. I’ll cover the spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youde spoke with full confidence, like he and Cao Youqian were as close as brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright. I’ll be staying in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute these days. Come find me once you’re done collecting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youqian said, then turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take care, Brother Qian.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youde watched his broad-shouldered figure disappear into the distance, and the heavy stone in his chest finally fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to a few disciples nearby who were still stunned with fear, he barked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you all standing around for? Hurry and get to work like Brother Qian said!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or do you want to personally test how hard his fists are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That snapped them out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them said, “Senior Brother De, at the price Brother Qian mentioned, the manuals we’ll be able to buy are mostly mundane techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where are we supposed to find that kind of thing in Wendao Academy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Youde scolded them, “Are you all idiots? Just because our academy doesn’t have them doesn’t mean the outer disciples don’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They go out on missions, and some of them might have such things at home. Just gather from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as you say Brother Qian is buying, those guys will jump at the chance to curry favor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the group’s eyes lit up and they responded in unison, “Don’t worry, Senior Brother De—we won’t let you down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That very night, news that Cao Youqian was buying large quantities of low-grade mundane techniques spread like wildfire among the outer disciples of Wendao Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was left wondering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was Senior Brother Cao collecting all this junk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>====================================================================================\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get access to 20 chapters in advance and enjoy 2 daily updates by supporting the series.
