Basic Insight Talisman

To make disciples stronger, a sect leader doesn't necessarily need to be strong himself, but he must at least possess a wealth of martial arts knowledge to provide guidance during the cultivation process.

Not to mention sects, even families and academies have their own martial arts mentors.

Since this Iron Bone Sect leader boasted that he could make Li Qingyang's achievements even higher, the Cangshan Sect Elder had to step forward to inquire.

It was indeed a trap.

If Jun Changxiao answered that he had martial arts experience, the elder would certainly take the opportunity to ask for advice.

If he answered that he didn't, Patriarch Li would inevitably be even angrier, thereby firmly deciding to make his son withdraw from the Iron Bone Sect.

Ginger really is spicier when it's old.

What seemed like a polite conversation was actually filled with hidden malice, intentionally meant to embarrass Jun Changxiao.

The martial artists from various sects cast looks of disdain.

A trash sect leader without even a cultivation realm, how could he possibly have martial arts experience!

Jun Changxiao habitually rubbed his nose and said, "This Seat dares not claim to be arrogant, nor will I belittle myself. If we are talking about martial arts experience, I should be a bit stronger than anyone present here."

"This guy is bragging more and more outrageously, it's getting ridiculous!"

"If fighting weren't forbidden in Qingyang City, I would have kicked him over already!"

"I have the same urge!"

The martial artists from various sects couldn't listen anymore. They swore that since they started practicing martial arts, they had never seen such a pretentious, full-of-it guy!

"What a bold claim, saying you're stronger than anyone present!"

Patriarch Li said in a cold voice, "Li would like to ask for some advice on Sect Leader Jun's martial arts experience today!"

The Cangshan Sect Elder smiled without a word. This was exactly what he had intended to ask, and now that Patriarch Li had said it first, it was clearly for the best.

Jun Changxiao asked, "What does Patriarch Li wish to ask for advice on?"

Don't let his calm expression fool you; he was actually nervously opening the system mall, searching for items related to martial arts.

He had only just transmigrated, and his realm was only at the fifth stage of Pulse Opening; he certainly didn't have any martial arts experience!

At this moment, Sect Leader Jun could only pin his hopes on the Strongest Sect System, praying that the mall had items related to martial arts.

Patriarch Li said indifferently, "In our Qingyang City, there is a sword technique passed down for a hundred years called the Nine Wave Sword Style. According to its description, it has nine forms, but in reality, it only has eight. The final form must be deduced by the practitioner themselves."

"Since Sect Leader Jun has martial arts experience, you should be able to deduce the final form, right?"

"Hahaha!"

"Patriarch Li's request for advice is truly ruthless!"

The martial artists in Qingyang City began to gloat.

The Nine Wave Sword Style was a highly famous sword technique in their city. As long as one had the strength of the fifth stage of Pulse Opening, they could purchase it from any major martial arts shop.

The first page of the manual stated it very clearly.

The sword technique had nine forms, but only eight were recorded; the final form had to be evolved by the practitioner.

Over the past hundred years, there had been at least nine hundred thousand people who had practiced the Nine Wave Sword Style, yet from beginning to end, no one had ever been able to comprehend the ninth form.

There were rumors that the Qingyang City Lord had comprehended the final form years ago! But because he had never used it, everyone remained ignorant of the ninth form.

"Nine Wave Sword Style?"

The Cangshan Sect Elder muttered to himself. He had heard of this sword technique and had once considered buying it to evolve the final form, but gave up after learning it was only a low-grade technique.

In the Starfall Continent, martial techniques and cultivation methods were also classified by grade, just like spiritual root aptitude: low-grade, mortal-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, saint-grade, and god-grade.

The Cangshan Sect Elder's cultivation had reached the peak of Martial Master, and the techniques he practiced in his sect were all above mortal-grade, so naturally, he looked down on low-grade ones.

After all.

If the grade were high, how could it have become a sword technique popularized among all the people of Qingyang City?

"Sect Leader Jun."

The Cangshan Sect Elder smiled and said, "I have also heard a little about the Nine Wave Sword Style. If you can comprehend the ninth form, it will prove that you have real substance."

This old guy was very good at fanning the flames.

Jun Changxiao said proudly, "What is so difficult about comprehending a mere sword technique?"

The crowd sneered incessantly.

Few people had comprehended it in a hundred years; if a loser like you could do it, that would be truly bizarre.

Li Qingyang was very expectant. He had also practiced the Nine Wave Sword Style but was stuck at the eighth form and could never comprehend the ninth. If his sect leader could do it, it would prove that he had joined the right sect and followed the right person.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Jun Changxiao was repeatedly scrolling through the Initial Stage Mall, searching for items related to sword techniques, but he found nothing!

It's over, it's over.

Without items in this area, how am I supposed to act cool... pui! pui! pui! How am I supposed to evolve the ninth form of this Wave Sword Style!

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Jun Changxiao's gaze rested on an item called the Insight Talisman, so he hurriedly clicked to open its detailed description.

This feature, which allowed him to view the detailed descriptions of items, was something he had discovered by pure chance.

Item: Primary Insight Talisman.
Effect: After use, it can provide insight into an opponent's Martial Technique or Secret Manual moves, allowing for rapid comprehension.
Duration: 60 minutes.
Price: 10 Sect Contribution Points.

Rapid comprehension?

Jun Changxiao was secretly delighted. This should be able to help me comprehend the ninth style of the sword technique!

"Swish!"

He clicked directly on the Insight Talisman.

"Ding!"

"Host has spent 10 Sect Contribution Points to obtain 1 Insight Talisman, which has been transported into the Spatial Ring."

"Ding!"

"Sect Contribution Points: 10/100."

Jun Changxiao said, "Patriarch Li, I have never practiced the Nine Wave Sword Style you speak of, so how am I supposed to demonstrate the ninth style?"

"Pfft, haha! The best-selling sword technique in Qingyang City, and as a sect leader, he hasn't even practiced it!"

"Although the Nine Wave Sword Style is a Low-grade technique, it still costs one hundred taels. With his poverty-stricken appearance, he definitely couldn't afford it."

"Makes sense, makes sense!"

"This kind of sword technique requires comprehension style by style. By the time he demonstrates the ninth style, who knows how many years it will take."

The crowd whispered among themselves.

Patriarch Li's expression darkened once again.

At that moment, he felt as if he were being toyed with like an idiot by this guy.

Suppressing his anger, Patriarch Li said with a forced smile, "As it happens, I have a copy of the Nine Wave Sword Style manual with me. Sect Leader Jun can take it to study."

With that, he took a blue-covered Secret Manual out of his Spatial Ring.

"Many thanks."

Jun Changxiao reached out to take it.

Patriarch Li said, "However, I will say this upfront: if Sect Leader Jun cannot demonstrate the ninth style, please expel my son from the Iron Bone Sect."

If his son wouldn't leave?

Then he would make this sect leader expel him voluntarily!

Patriarch Li was convinced that for someone who had never practiced the Nine Wave Sword Style, let alone comprehending the ninth style, even reaching the fifth or sixth would be extremely difficult.

"No problem."

Jun Changxiao agreed readily.

Patriarch Li was still uneasy and said, "Sect Leader Jun, you must keep your word."

"Rest assured."

Jun Changxiao said, "The motto of our Iron Bone Unyielding Sect is to be unyielding people and do unyielding deeds; naturally, I will not break my promise to anyone."

Having received a satisfactory answer, Patriarch Li tossed the sword manual over.

With so many sect martial artists watching at the recruitment venue, he didn't believe the other party would try to welch on the deal.

"Of course."

Jun Changxiao took the manual and said, "If This Seat comprehends the ninth style of the sword technique, what will Patriarch Li do?"

In the last hundred years, only the legendary City Lord had managed to comprehend it. Did he really think he could do it?

Patriarch Li sneered inwardly, but on the surface, he cupped his hands and said, "If Sect Leader Jun comprehends the ninth style of the sword technique, it will be my son Qingyang's good fortune to be able to cultivate in the Iron Bone Sect."

With those words, Jun Changxiao felt at ease.

"Hoo!"

He took a deep breath and flipped through the manual. Upon seeing the intricate incantations and the illustrated sword stances, he immediately felt dizzy and overwhelmed.

Although he had inherited the original owner's memories and had some understanding of the martial arts manuals in this world, seeing such a complex sword manual for the first time still felt like reading a heavenly book.

I hope the Insight Talisman can help me quickly comprehend this sword manual.

Jun Changxiao thought to himself, and with a thought sent into his ring, he "popped" the talisman he had just exchanged for.

"Shoo!"

A stream of invisible energy surged from the ring into his Sea of Consciousness.

Jun Changxiao suddenly felt the world spin. That unpleasant sensation vanished as quickly as it had come. When he regained his focus and looked at the incantations and sword stances in the manual again, everything was suddenly simple and easy to understand!
