Although Xiang Shaoyun had good opinions of Du Xuanhao, it did not mean he would offer a big help for nothing. After all, Du Xuanhao was not Hua Cheng. Neither was he a part of Cloud Margin Pavilion, which had suffered great losses because of him.
”I know. I only wish Young Master Xiang could give me an opportunity,” said Du Xuanhao solemnly.
All these years, he had traveled far and wide, trying to look for some fortuitous encounters. Unfortunately, luck never seemed to be on his side, as he had never been able to get a tier-6 cultivation method. He did not wish to join a tier-5 organization and slave away there either. After all, even if he did so, there was no guarantee he could get the tier-6 cultivation method he wanted.
It was a different story with Xiang Shaoyun. Since he was willing to give the Cloud Margin Pavilion a tier-6 cultivation method and Hua Cheng a top-tier zither composition generously, it could only mean that giving those out did not mean much to him. That was why Du Xuanhao believed Xiang Shaoyun would be able to provide him with the fortuitous encounter he sought.
Looking at Du Xuanhao, Xiang Shaoyun replied, ”I can do it, but the price might be a little bit high. Are you willing to pay it?”
”I am willing to pay whatever price to obtain a tier-6 cultivation method!” declared Du Xuanhao resolutely.
”Good. I want you to become a saber, a saber to kill for me! Can you do that?” asked Xiang Shaoyun seriously.
”If that is what you want, I can agree to it right this moment!” said Du Xuanhao, his voice deep and sonorous.
”Ok. Just for this promise, I will provide you with a tier-6 cultivation method. In fact, even a tier-7 cultivation method won't be a problem,” said Xiang Shaoyun. ”But before that, can you first tell me the reason for you to give up so much just for a cultivation method?”
”I must repay the grudge of having my wife killed!” replied Du Xuanhao with a seething hatred in his voice.
Xiang Shaoyun raised his brow. Evidently, the answer was something he had never expected. A sense of respect started rising in his heart toward this man. A man willing to commit such sacrifice for his wife was a real and loyal man.
”Looks like your enemy is very powerful. Otherwise, you wouldn't have resorted to this,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a slight sigh. ”You cultivate the power of fire. I will give you a tier-7 cultivation method, the Scorching Sun Manual. I hope it can help you reach the Soul Foundation Realm as soon as possible. As for whether you can climb higher than that, it will depend on yourself.”
Tier-7 cultivation methods were extremely rare, and even an organization like Ziling Sect would only have a few of them in their collection. This Scorching Sun Manual was a cultivation method suited for those cultivating the power of fire. It was clear how highly Xiang Shaoyun looked upon Du Xuanhao to give him a cultivation method this valuable.
”T-t-tier-7 Scorching Sun Manual?” Du Xuanhao cried out in shock.
”That's right. This cultivation method is also paired with a tier-7 battle technique, the Eighteen Scorching Sun Sabers. This is a perfect pair for you,” said Xiang Shaoyun generously.
”Y-you have so much trust in me? This pair of cultivation method and battle technique is enough to cause even Sovereigns to spill their blood!” said Du Xuanhao in disbelief.
”There is no point in using someone if I am going to place no trust in that person. I believe in your character, Senior Saber Emperor,” said Xiang Shaoyun. ”In any case, although you might think that these two are extremely rare, they are really nothing for me. If you really do abandon me after reaching your goal, it won't be that much of a loss for me anyway.”
Looking at Xiang Shaoyun's nonchalance, Du Xuanhao sighed, ”Young Master Xiang is indeed a person of extraordinary vision. No wonder you cared so little when I had offered to take you as a disciple.”
