Ye Xiao began to read the healing cultivation technique and quickly learned it. He recorded it into the Golden Book and began to cultivate it.

When it was cultivated to perfection, the ten pieces of paper that were branded with the basic healing cultivation technique emitted a pure golden light.

At that point, it meant that the cultivation techniques were ready to be synthesized.

Ye Xiao, who had already cultivated the healing cultivation technique, could be considered to have heaved a sigh of relief at that stage.

However, he did not rest. Instead, he continued to read other types of books.

That time, Ye Xiao was prepared to look at the movement cultivation technique.

Previously, he had calculated that among the life-saving cultivation techniques, the armament type and the alchemy type had higher requirements for money. Hence, he temporarily placed it on the backburner and cultivated the healing cultivation technique first.

Then, he was prepared to cultivate the movement technique.

There was a good saying that it was better to run than to fight.

In the 36 stratagems, running was the best one!

He did not necessarily have to be able to beat others. If he ran fast and others could not catch up, it was still a good way to save his life.

Ye Xiao himself had learned two basic movement cultivation techniques.

However, the basic cultivation techniques were definitely far from meeting his requirements. Only the top-grade cultivation technique obtained after synthesis would be able to catch his eye.

After he finished reading, Ning Yuhen quickly started reading as well.

However, he quickly frowned.

The reason why martial arts were graded was not only because there were too many differences in the strength of the martial arts, but also to help guide the martial artists who had just started.

If one did not start learning from the low-tier martial arts, it would be very difficult.

High-tier martial arts contained the philosophy of martial arts, which was something that the low-tier martial artists could not understand at all.

Ye Xiao would encounter many martial arts that he could not understand when he read books on a daily basis.

However, he only needed to read it once and the divine soul’s Golden Book would automatically enter it. He did not need to understand it. As long as his Golden Book understood it, he would understand it.

After he understood it, it would be very easy for him to comprehend more.

The two cultivation techniques that he created for Ning Yuhen were both sword arts. Although they were at the transcendent level, they were already infinitely close to the grandmaster level, which was also the lesser grandmaster level.

Even in the library, cultivation techniques of that level had to be placed on the fourth floor and were guarded by guards. Ordinary people were not allowed to read them casually.

Only special geniuses who had made great contributions or had been evaluated and rewarded by the Jianghai city governor were qualified to come into contact with such cultivation techniques.

The incomplete saber technique that Du Changfeng had donated to the Jianghai Martial Arts Academy was also at the lesser grandmaster level.

Therefore, a lesser grandmaster-level cultivation technique was extremely precious and hard to come by. Furthermore, it was not something that could be easily learned.

In reality, Ye Xiao did not think too much about it. The main reason was that the grade of his own cultivation technique was too high. It was already many grades higher than a grandmaster-level cultivation technique. After learning the cultivation technique, his comprehension of sword arts naturally far exceeded that of an ordinary human. He felt that he had already tried his best to write a very trashy cultivation technique.

However, to ordinary people, that so-called trash that he had casually written was also a precious cultivation technique that ordinary people could only dream of getting their hands on.

Just as Ning Yuhen was having a headache from reading, a calm male voice suddenly entered his ears.

“Hello, may I ask, if I’m not from Jianghai city, how can I borrow books?”

Ning Yuhen raised his head and glanced at the other party. He could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

“Eh, why do I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before?”

The other party said indifferently,

“It’s possible that you’ve seen me on the Internet. There seemed to be some posts and news about me before.”

Ning Yuhen suddenly stood up.

“Oh, oh, I remember now. You’re Piao Jiansheng! The Han state sword genius who defeated the Jing province sword geniuses!”

Piao Jiansheng nodded.

“I am indeed Piao Jiansheng, but it’s quite an exaggeration to say that I defeated the sword geniuses of Jing province.

“There are many sword art geniuses in Jing province who are stronger than me. It’s just that everyone is suppressed in the same realm, and my understanding of the sword is slightly stronger.

“If everyone were to fight with their full strength, there are many whose real fighting strength is above mine.

“Their sword art attainments were slightly inferior, but their spiritual energy cultivation was much stronger than mine. It was the rule that suppressed cultivation, allowing me to take advantage of some circumstances.”

“It’s so rare. Everyone says that the Hans are all arrogant and have top-notch bragging skills, but you’re actually so humble. Moreover, you’re so fluent in our language.”

“I actually only have one-eighth of the Han bloodline, and seven-eighth of it is actually the Zhong bloodline of nine provinces. But… Your words are a little rude. Most of the people in the Han state are indeed shameless, but… You don’t have to say it in front of me. After all, I grew up in the Han state.

“Moreover, from another point of view, the people of Han state are originally from nine provinces. It’s just that a small portion of the people of the nine provinces moved to Han state.
