Pirated Books Are Unacceptable

Humans possess five virtues: "warmth, kindness, respect, frugality, and humility," as well as five excellences: "wisdom, trustworthiness, benevolence, courage, and strictness."

Dynasties also have virtues and moral conduct. The interaction and succession of dynasties represent each dynasty embodying one virtue, following the cycle of mutual generation or mutual overcoming according to the Five Elements.

Therefore, this palm strike can be said to be the representative move of Heaven's Mandate Academy.

The five colors represent the five virtues, rotating and intertwining like the rise and fall of dynasties. A pillar of five-colored rotating light fiercely struck towards Blessing Monk.

Blessing Monk also knew that this palm strike was no small matter. His Golden Light Dharma Form, which had transformed into Amitabha, turned its head, revealing a pitch-black face.

It was precisely Mahakala, the wrathful Dharma Form of the Buddha during the subjugation of demons.

Blessing Monk flipped his hand and formed a Demon Subduing Seal. The six arms of the Mahakala Dharma Form then grasped a trident and thrust it towards the palm strike!

Shi Feizhe, standing far away, only saw the two people exchange blows. Boom! His eyes lit up, followed by a wave of air that made him unsteady on his feet!

The lake also churned with a giant wave due to their exchange, splashing those standing nearby with lake water.

Then the two exchanged blows with bang bang bang, making it almost impossible for people to stand by the lake!

Is this the Qi Sea expert of the Escaping Mundane Realm?

It truly makes one yearn for it!

Shi Feizhe watched the two people exchange blows on the lake, their figures almost indistinguishable, only seeing the collision of five colors and golden light. He couldn't help but feel a sense of yearning.

He didn't know when he would be able to reach such a realm!

"You two have come a long way as guests, why not give our Three Talents Manor some face!" A very powerful voice came from Three Talents Manor. A middle-aged man, wearing a green robe, was seen flying out from inside Three Talents Manor.

Strangely, as he flew in the sky, one side of his body emitted red flames, while the other side emitted blue cold air.

"Manor Lord Zhan!"

"It's actually Manor Lord Zhan!"

The onlookers immediately recognized who this imposing middle-aged man was and shouted one after another.

"Today, I will give Manor Lord Zhan some face! Otherwise, after three moves, I will definitely break this bald donkey's turtle shell! If this bald donkey has the guts, why not fight again another day!" Bu Cunren saw Manor Lord Zhan, who was half ice and half fire, and withdrew his moves, landing lightly on the surface of the lake and said.

"Immeasurable Longevity Buddha! It is precisely because Manor Lord Zhan has come forward today that Heaven's Mandate Academy has not lost a person!" Blessing Monk also said in a noncommittal tone, and he also landed on the surface of the lake.

"You two!" Manor Lord Zhan came to their side and said, "You two are both dragons among men, having already entered the Qi Sea Realm at such a young age. In the future, you will surely be True Persons among True Persons! Why hurt the harmony over a small matter?"

"As the saying goes, you don't know someone until you fight them. Why not come to my manor for a chat?"

Although Blessing Monk and Bu Cunren both wanted to kill each other in their hearts, they also knew that they couldn't fight now.

"How difficult is the True Person Realm? We don't know when we will be able to encounter the True Person Realm! On the contrary, Manor Lord Zhan's Yin and Yang are converging, I'm afraid he is close to the True Person Realm!" Bu Cunren bowed to Manor Lord Zhan and said.

"In this humble monk's opinion, Manor Lord Zhan is probably only half a step away from the True Person Realm!" Blessing Monk also said.

Manor Lord Zhan had praised the two of them in front of so many people, and it wasn't the first time the two of them had been in the Jianghu. They still understood these unwritten rules of the Jianghu!

As for Manor Lord Zhan's cultivation, they naturally couldn't understand it. But their teachers had said so!

"Far from it! Still far from it!" Manor Lord Zhan said humbly, walking in front, cupping his fists and bowing, "Please come to the manor for a chat!"

"Thank you for your hospitality, Manor Lord!" The two returned the bow one after another and entered Three Talents Manor with Manor Lord Zhan, leaving behind a good story in the Jianghu.

Shi Feizhe stood among the crowd, like an ant, watching the three of them enter the manor.

The sky was gradually darkening now, and Shi Feizhe couldn't afford to be sentimental. He had more important things to do, which was to find a place to stay!

He had arrived at Three Talents Town in the morning, and now it was getting dark, and he had no place to stay.

So, he quickly went into Three Talents Town and inquired about the price of lodging at inns.

The prices at the inns in town were indeed extraordinary. A shared room was ten copper coins, and a single room was a hundred copper coins, which was three times the price of inns on the road!

This was understandable, after all, it was a tourist area, and the prices in a scenic area were definitely different from regular prices.

Fortunately, the residents of this town were quite shrewd. They cleaned up their idle rooms and rented them out to people from the Jianghu to supplement their household expenses. It only cost one tael of silver a month!

Outside of Three Talents Town, one tael of silver could also pay for a month's stay at an inn, but who made this Three Talents Town?

"This room has a taste of home!"

Shi Feizhe searched for a long time and found a family, renting an idle empty room. Looking at this room with bare walls, only a bed, a table, and two chairs, and nothing else, Shi Feizhe commented humorously.

He lit the oil lamp and took out a copy of the True Origin Sword Finger Technique from his bosom.

This copy of the True Origin Sword Finger Technique was not the one he had before, but one he bought for five copper coins when he passed by an Orchid Grass Bookstore while looking for a place to stay. He went in to buy yellow paper to use at Three Talents Manor tomorrow. He had sharp eyes and saw the shopkeeper stuffing this book under the table leg to use as a footrest.

"Customer, you've made a great deal, even toilet paper isn't that cheap!" The shopkeeper heard that Shi Feizhe actually bought this book and beamed with joy, taking the book from the corner of the table and stuffing it into Shi Feizhe's hand.

He was afraid that Shi Feizhe wouldn't want it!

The previous copy of the True Origin Sword Finger Technique could only be seen up to the halfway point, only describing the stage of condensing True Qi and bursting forth True Qi to form sword energy. The latter part was completely illegible. This copy was the complete True Origin Sword Finger Technique.

Under the oil lamp, Shi Feizhe flipped through the second copy of the True Origin Sword Finger Technique. He needed to know the content of the latter half of this secret manual.

But after only a few pages, Shi Feizhe frowned. After reading a few more pages, his frown deepened!

He couldn't help but take out the previous copy of the True Origin Sword Finger Technique and compare the two, finding many differences.

Some were purely copied incorrectly, and some were completely wrong in meaning, like a cow's head not matching a horse's mouth!

This... how could it be like this?

Why is the one others are selling different from the one he picked up?

Is the other one wrong? Or is his copy wrong?

Or are both wrong?

In an instant, Shi Feizhe's mind raced with many thoughts, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead!

It shouldn't be like this!

He refused to give up and, using the faint light of the oil lamp, compared the two books word by word. He found that in the initial part, which was only a few thousand characters, there were dozens of errors!

Shi Feizhe also roughly looked at the later parts and found them confusing, with significant contradictions to the beginning!

Damn it!

Shi Feizhe cursed inwardly!

No wonder it only cost five copper coins. This must have been copied by some bored person. Although the handwriting was easy to read, the errors were ridiculous.

It would be strange if anyone could cultivate with this!

Pirated books are deadly!

After figuring this out, Shi Feizhe wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had been so afraid that he had practiced the True Origin Sword Finger Technique incorrectly and would somehow become a lunatic one day.

Although it's not uncommon to go mad while practicing martial arts, going mad because of a pirated book would be too foolish!

Actually, proving that the second copy of the True Origin Sword Finger Technique was pirated was simple.

He needed a third copy of the True Origin Sword Finger Technique!

Shi Feizhe: Pirated books are deadly!
