Temporary Worker Version Sword-Riding Technique
Song Shuhang had just returned from Luoxin District. After parting ways with Tubo, he came to the Medicine Master's place to cultivate during his free time.
Then, I received a call from Sima Jiang.
"Huh? Where were you robbed?" Song Shuhang asked instinctively.
"Shortly after receiving your package, on my way to the Harvest Express headquarters in Jiangnan, I was forced to stop my car, then knocked unconscious, and your package... was also stolen by the robber." Sima Jiang paused.
"..." Song Shuhang.
Shuhang really didn't know how to put together the words to comfort this poor Jiang.
At this moment, Sima Jiang changed the subject, saying, "But don't worry, Shuhang, we just caught the robber. He's on his way here now. I'll get your package back! If you still trust us, I'll definitely deliver it!"
Have they caught the robber?
Although I already knew that Jiang was not an ordinary deliveryman, I didn't expect him to have so much influence.
"Okay, then thank you for your hard work, Jiang," Song Shuhang replied.
Sima Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll call you again after I pick up the package."
"Okay, no problem," Song Shuhang said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Song Shuhang held his phone for a moment, then sent a text message to the senior Medicine Master, reporting what had happened. It wasn't that he didn't trust Sima Jiang —it was just that the flying sword was 'borrowed' by the senior Medicine Master from Master Profound Principle, and such a thing couldn't be kept from the real person involved.
Moreover, according to the senior Medicine Master, the flying sword has a safety measure set up by Master Profound Principle. Even if it is lost, it can be retrieved through the mark Master Profound Principle left on the flying sword.
By the way, let me also complain about the Medicine Master's terrible idea of sending the flying sword back by express delivery!
Long after Song Shuhang sent the text message, he finally received a painstaking reply from the Medicine Master: "Young friend Shuhang, I've sent flying swords dozens of times without incident... Your luck is really bad!"
Senior Medicine Master, you really can use voice commands. Just thinking about you typing makes me feel sorry for you.
"However, speaking of luck, today was indeed a bit of a downer." Song Shuhang smiled wryly, thinking of the hot topic of 'middle-aged men versus young men' circulating on social media... Let's not talk about that!
My liver hurts so much.
After a long while, the Medicine Master finally replied, "I called Master Profound Principle and talked to him about it. The monk practices Mouth-Sealing Zen, and every time I call him, there's no answer. I feel like I'm talking to thin air."
Song Shuhang: "..."
In fact, Shuhang felt that Senior Medicine Master and Master Profound Principle were about the same level. Most people in the group could only guess at how the two chatted.
The strangest thing is that the senior Medicine Master and the Master Profound Principle can sometimes chat using just a word or an expression, and those around them can't understand what they're talking about at all.
Perhaps it's because they're on a frequency that others can't understand?
"Shuhang, someone from Master Profound Principle will contact you in a little while." The senior Medicine Master sent a text message half a day later.
But no sooner had he sent this message than an ID with the nickname 'Three-Day Little Monk' added Song Shuhang as a friend.
This perfectly illustrates the Medicine Master's abysmal typing speed.
Song Shuhang accepted the friend request.
"Are you a fellow Daoist from the Mountain of Books? Your Daoist title is quite strange," the Three-Day Little Monk asked.
"That's just a nickname... Just call me Shuhang!" Song Shuhang felt he should hurry up and come up with a Daoist name, otherwise, before long, everyone would assume that 'the pressure of the mountain of books' was his Daoist name, and then he would be doomed.
"I heard you're still a student? Then I'll take the liberty of calling you Junior Brother Shuhang. I'm the sixth disciple of Master Profound Principle... well, I'm a layman. Master said my worldly ties were severed, and although he had already ordained me, he later made me return to secular life. You know my master is a taciturn fellow; he hasn't spoken for who knows how many years. So, we disciples handle the communication with others." The Three-Day Little Monk chuckled, "By the way, I'll send you a file; please receive it using your chat software."
"What is that?" Shuhang asked, puzzled.
"It's through the mark on Master's flying sword that you sense the method of using the flying sword, a method of applying spiritual power. With your spiritual power, you should be able to sense the mark within a range of ten meters. Try to absorb it and learn it when you have time. It might come in handy," the Three-Day Little Monk explained.
"If the courier company fails to recover the flying sword, perhaps this method can be of some use. Hmm, if the flying sword is not found within a month, junior brother, please let me know, and I'll make a trip to your place to look for it. Anyway, it's just a small sword used for delivering messages; if it's lost, Master will only be heartbroken, so don't worry." The Three-Day Little Monk said, sending a compressed file to Shuhang.
Song Shuhang clicked "Accept".
Some minor cultivation techniques don't need to be leaked; they are transmitted directly online. However, things like martial arts manuals are kept secret by using Flying Sword Messages.
The compressed file wasn't large, so I received it directly on my phone; the transfer was completed in less than ten seconds.
After decompression, three more files appeared on Song Shuhang's phone.
"Mental Imprinting Technique"
"Imprint Sensing Method"
Temporary Sword-Riding Technique
"Why are there so many things?" Song Shuhang, somewhat puzzled, but still replied to the Three-Day Little Monk, "Received."
"Just to confirm, is it the Imprint Sensing Method? I have quite a few compressed files on my computer," the Three-Day Little Monk asked.
"Yes, there's Imprint Sensing Method," Song Shuhang confirmed, then Dao Initiation, "But there's also the Mental Imprinting Technique and..."
Before he could finish typing, the Three-Day Little Monk had already replied quickly, "Okay, then there's no problem. Practice when you have time; it might come in handy. Let me know if there are any flying sword updates; I'll check back every few days."
After saying that, the Three-Day Little Monk logged off and disappeared.
"And Temporary Sword-Riding Technique." Song Shuhang had just finished typing when the Three-Day Little Monk logged off. He could only smile wryly; why was this Three Days senior brother also acting so energetic?
He could only send this last sentence offline to the Three-Day Little Monk.
Then, he opened the three documents and began to read them.
The Mental Imprinting Technique... According to the folder, it was developed by a senior with a bad memory.
Poor memory is a common trait among mortals, but it is absolutely exceptional among cultivators. This is because the memory of cultivators' brains is enhanced, and almost every one of them has a superb memory.
This senior colleague would casually toss his things aside and then often couldn't remember where he'd put them, and it would take him a long time to find them.
After a long period of frustration, he developed this Mental Imprinting Technique, imprinting a Mental Imprint on each of his important possessions. The 'Imprint Sensing Method' is the matching method.
That way, no matter where he throws something, he can find it just by sensing it. It's incredibly convenient!
Later, this method of Mental Imprint was provided free of charge to fellow Cultivator World by their predecessors, and it flourished. Gradually, it formed the current system of 'Mental Imprint'.
Just like Master Profound Principle's flying sword, when paired with a special sensing artifact, it can be easily found no matter where on Earth the flying sword is hidden.
These two spiritual techniques are a set, so it's understandable that his Three Days brother taught him both at the same time. But what exactly is the final 'Temporary Sword-Riding Technique'?
He also knew about Sword-Riding Technique; they were probably similar to skills like Flying Sword Message or Sword Flight.
But the question is, does Sword-Riding Technique have a lifetime contract and a temporary contract?
Filled with curiosity, Song Shuhang opened the folder.
Even if it's just temporary work, it's still Sword-Riding Technique.
