Chapter 129: Sword God Hidden Light (2/2)

”Little fox, my monthly allowance for this month has not yet arrived. Can you accommodate me and let me have my sword case back first?”

”In that case, you will have to write a certificate of indebtedness and take the certificate back when you have the money.”

...

…

Hu Ling'er finished dealing with the sword cases and grabbed a few certificates of indebtedness back into the house, ”Young master, can you check if these certificates of indebtedness are written correctly? I can't read.”

Qin Mu seemed to be smiling yet not smiling at the same time, ”You can't read and you dared to accept certificates of indebtedness? These certificates of indebtedness are correct, you'll just have to keep them well.

Hu Ling'er was very happy and hurriedly kept the certificates of indebtedness in a hole in the wall.

Qin Mu called her over and said, ”There are still two days away from the start of school so I shall teach you Spirit Creation Technique.”

Hu Ling'er immediately sat down properly and Qin Mu began to explain Spirit Creation Technique. Spirit Creation Technique was the last writing among the Seven Creation Writings. This technique could be both cultivated by humans and by demons. After studying Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures for these few days, Qin Mu discovered Spirit Creation Technique was more suitable for demons to cultivate.

Learning from Deaf, he had read a copious amount of books and literature. What Deaf had taught him was not only Ruism, there was also all kinds of ancient poems and was extremely hard to pronounce. However, because of this, it was much easier for Qin Mu to comprehend other scriptures.

Qin Mu tried his best to simplify his explanation and make it easier for the little fox to understand the scripture. Seven Creation Writings belonged to the top tier techniques in Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures and Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures was a technique that could turn one into god or devil, and it was the supreme holy bible of Heavenly Devil Cult. Spirit Creation Technique was included in it, so the marvel of this technique was evident.

For the next two days, Qin Mu simplified the complicated technique and taught it to Hu Ling'er. In two days, Hu Ling'er was already able to master the basics of this technique and to try to refine her spirit embryo.

The original purpose of this creation technique was to change the spirit embryo. If one was a Black Tortoise Spirit Body, his spirit embryo would be a Black Tortoise Spirit Embryo, and by cultivating the Spirit Creation Technique, one could change their Black Tortoise Spirit Embryo into White Tiger Spirit Embryo or other spirit embryos, even the attribute of the vital qi would change accordingly as well. Thus this technique was thought as a top class technique in Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures.

Of course, every technique in Seven Creation Writings was incomparably magical and it was not only limited to Spirit Creation Technique.

The reason why Qin Mu had felt that Spirit Creation Technique was more suitable for demons was mainly because demons and strange beasts like Hu Ling'er and devil ape had no spirit embryos nor divine treasures.

Since they didn't have them, they could only create them by themselves.

Now that Hu Ling'er was cultivating Spirit Creation Technique, she could have her own spirit embryo and even change the form of her spirit embryo.

Two days later, Imperial College finally started.

Qin Mu and the other newly entered scholars follow the directorate to the warehouse to pick up their own sword cases, pills, attires, pill furnaces, jade, brushes, ink, and tablets. There was also a sack of money which was said to be the official's salary; however, Qin Mu heard from the scholars that it was the monthly allowance and could be collected once every month. Even though it wasn't much and only had a dozen coins, it was substantial to the commoners.

As long as one became a scholar of Imperial College, he would already be an eight ranking official, therefore, the imperial court had to pay him salary.

Qin Mu picked up his items and then came to the front of Hall of Supreme Learning. The young patriarch was giving a speech which was nothing more than to motivate scholars to cultivate and study hard.

Qin Mu placed items back into his room and followed the other new scholars to the Hall of Hidden Light for a lecture. There were also royalties that had come to seek knowledge. As Qin Mu looked around, he saw a familiar young lady who was winking at him. However, when she met other people's gazes, that young lady would become aloof.

”Seventh sister, what are you doing?” That young lady was Ling Yuxiu and a prince beside her frowned slightly and asked softly when he saw her looking towards Qin Mu from time to time.

Hall of Hidden Light. A man wearing long and black garment knelt with a horizontal sword in front of his knees. He was the directorate of Hall of Hidden Light. His gaze was as sharp as a sword and he gave all the scholars a look. When his gaze landed on Qin Mu, the corners of his eyes twitched. He gave a speech that was neither too slow nor too fast, ”Hall of Hidden Light is the Hall of Sword Learning. What is Hidden Light? The saint had said: I have three swords, you can choose any one of them, however, they can't kill. The first one is called Hidden Light, hidden from sight, hidden from use. Even when you touch, you can feel nothing, passing through objects without objects noticing. This is the origin of Hidden Light. When one reaches this realm, he would become sword god.”

Qin Mu was astonished and he muttered in his heart, ”This directorate is the Sword Hall Master of our sacred cult…”

Sword Hall Master was in black and had a towering figure and looked very arrogant. When he was blown away by a stab from Qin Mu, he couldn't even execute his moves.

However, Qin Mu felt odd. This Imperial College was the sacred place of Eternal Peace Empire after all, how did they even recruit the hall master of Heavenly Devil Cult?

After Sword Hall Master talked about the origin of Hall of Hidden Light, he continued, ”Sword, when is cultivated to the realm of Hidden Light, it has reached an excellent realm, the supreme realm, therefore it is known as Dao sword. And in the world today, only one or two people have reached this step and there's only one who is known as Hidden Light Sword God. I'm not nearly as good as him. All of you are scholars from all over the land. You should set the highest realm of sword skill as your goal and shouldn't even slack a day. Today I will teach you the foundation of sword skills, the most basic sword moves like stab, flick, smear, and wave.”

The scholars in the hall were all incomparably astonished. Instead of teaching profound sword moves, The Hall of Hidden Light in Imperial College was going to teach the basic foundation of sword skills. Was there a need for them to come to Imperial College to learn the basic foundation of sword skills?

Sword Hall Master said solemnly, ”Don't despise the foundation of sword skills. If your foundation isn't solid, all the fancy and marvelous sword moves you learn will be useless. Three years ago I met a little child who was only eleven to twelve years old. He had an incomparably solid foundation and when I contested with him in Spirit Embryo Realm, he defeated me with just a wooden sword. It was then I realized the importance of the foundation of sword skills.”

A commotion broke out within the scholars in the hall and a scholar muttered, ”To be able to defeat teacher with a wooden sword, is this child a sword god?”

Sword Hall Master shook his head, ”Not yet, this child is only fifteen years old now. It's impossible for him to reach the realm of sword god.”
