Chapter 48: Techniques must not be recklessly pa.s.sed

“Thumb drive……” The way Song Shuhang felt right now was almost the same as what the people in the group felt when they learned that he had used an induction cooker and a hot pot to refine pills.

Medicine Master extracted the thumb drive, then threw the shortsword to Song Shuhang, “Here, take the flying sword. Tomorrow I’ll give you Great Master Tong Xuan’s address, find some time over the next few days to send it to him via courier.”

Song Shuhang: “…… Send it back?”

“Duh, am I supposed to send it back myself?” Medicine Master questioned him in return.

Song Shuhang replied, “That’s not what I meant; can’t the flying sword just fly back on its own with a ‘whoosh’?”

“Haha, how can that be? It can’t fly back. When the sword was flying over, it required energy! When it was flying towards us, Great Master Tong Xuan could naturally provide energy to the flying sword. But there is no way for him to transmit energy from thousands of miles away to send the sword flying back, due to the distance between us. Furthermore… this flying sword is Great Master Tong Xuan’s personal flying sword, and other than Great Master Tong Xuan himself, there’s no one else who can use it. Therefore, I can’t pour energy into it either.” Medicine Master explained.

“Why the h.e.l.l does it only follow the law of conservation of energy now?” Shuhang had to release the curses stuck in his throat, “Also, isn’t this sword already a sharpened weapon? Sharpened weapons can’t be pa.s.sed into couriers’ hands, can they? Furthermore, even if it could be sent, wouldn’t it be bad if such a precious item was lost in transit?”

Medicine Master complacently smiled, “Don’t worry, I’ve mailed the flying sword dozens of times, there definitely won’t be a problem. Great Master Tong Xuan’s flying sword possesses a concealment array, other than the ones Great Master allows, no one can see it. Therefore, the only ones who can see and interact with this flying sword right now are you and me, since we are allowed to see it. Furthermore, there’s nothing to worry about even if it is delivered wrongly, the flying sword has the owner’s mark, if it is truly lost, it can still be located. Anyway, don’t worry about it.”

“Despite what you’ve said, I still feel that mailing a flying sword is really weird.” Song Shuhang lifted the flying sword in his hands, feeling stuffy inside.

“Don’t think about it so much. Alright, the seal on the thumb drive is released. Here’s the ?Vajra Foundation Fist Technique? and ?True self Meditation Scripture?.” Medicine Master tossed the jade thumb drive to Shuhang.

Great Master Tong Xuan had placed a seal on the thumb drive just in case, and the correct procedures had to be followed to release the seal. Forcibly removing the seal would cause both the seal and the thumb drive to be destroyed.

When Song Shuhang caught it, he saw the thumb drive’s USB port connector, it truly was a thumb drive!

“Ahem, before learning these techniques, I need to remind you of something. Unlike pills and magical treasures, techniques mustn’t be pa.s.sed to others on a whim!” Medicine Master advised.

As Song Shuhang was a complete amateur when it came to cultivation matters, Medicine Master had to clarify the taboos for him.

“When you have been imparted a technique from someone or a school, you mustn’t pa.s.s it on to anybody else without permission from the source! This is taboo among cultivators! For example, if you want to pa.s.s this technique on to others, you’d have to ask the owner of the technique, Great Master Tong Xuan, for permission, and pay a certain price for his approval. The person you pa.s.s it on to has to abide by this taboo, and mustn’t pa.s.s on this technique without approval either. The approval of Great Master Tong Xuan must be acquired first, just like what I did to impart these two techniques to you.”

“If you were caught having imparted techniques to someone else without permission, then it wouldn’t matter if it’s the Nine Provinces (1) Group or the rest of the cultivation world, n.o.body would be willing to impart any techniques to you.” Medicine Master specifically warned.

Techniques were the roots of a school and cultivators. n.o.body wished for their own or their family’s techniques to be shared everywhere, therefore privately sharing techniques was absolutely forbidden.

However, a technique you made yourself could be shared as much as you wanted, you have the freedom to do that.

Song Shuhang nodded to express that he understood. The techniques that others had expended energy to attain were their personal belongings, for someone to impart a technique to him was already an honor. If one casually pa.s.sed on that technique to others, how immoral would that be?

Receiving the thumb drive, Song Shuhang’s heart couldn’t help but race.

Taking deep breaths, he opened his computer, then disconnected from the internet and did a virus scan on his computer.

There weren’t many things on his computer, so the antivirus took less than a minute to complete the scan.

After that, he carefully inserted the thumb drive into the computer.

Medicine Master quietly stood behind Song Shuhang, nodding with satisfaction. Even though Shuhang was very excited, he didn’t lose his calm. Maintaining this personality would be very beneficial to his future path of cultivation.

Song Shuhang opened the thumb drive and found two folders inside.

?Vajra Foundation Building Fist Technique?

?True self Meditation Scripture?
