At this point, Sun Luoyan paused briefly. "However, I must remind you of one thing..."
"The Sword Qi Seed possesses an extremely strong exclusivity. It reigns supreme alone. Once you accept it, you must take it as your core, and all other powers will become mere accessories."
Hearing this, Zhou Zhe did not respond immediately.
The saying about killing and arson earning golden belts really did not work on Earth nowadays.
Someone like Sun Luoyan had become one with his sword.
Even if Zhou Zhe killed him, no secret manual would drop.
Even the Chixiao Sword would "die" along with him.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if a secret manual did drop, without a Sword Qi Seed, it could not be successfully cultivated.
"No need."
After pondering deeply for a moment, Zhou Zhe made his decision. "The text of the secret manual alone will do. I don't need the Sword Seed."
Sun Luoyan had not lied.
Zhou Zhe could sense it.
Besides...
The materials Mentor Lin Ye had left behind also contained some information related to the Sword Qi Seed.
The so-called "Sword Qi Seed" was merely a lower-tier Extraordinary Organ capable of self-replication and propagation. It existed on the same level as the Wind Element Heart.
Compared with the Heart of Heavenly Tribulation, it was inferior by far, and it also possessed extremely strong exclusivity.
Why abandon something better to worship a low-level power core alone?
That was simply impossible.
"Recently, aside from improving cultivation methods, I've also been creating a trump-card killing move. I need some materials for reference."
Zhou Zhe explained, "The more extraordinary knowledge one accumulates, the better!"
"That is why I proposed exchanging cultivation manuals."
"However, since you are sincere toward the sword path, I won't add legs to a snake."
"Let's head back."
