"No gift."
Chen Tianyuan's voice is calm, but naturally carries a sense of majesty.
His eyes stayed on Fang Han for a moment, and he slowly spoke.
"Fang Han, I remember that two months ago, when you were first promoted to True Disciple, you were rewarded in this hall. I never thought that just two months later, I would call you here again."
There was a hint of emotion and admiration in his tone.
"The speed of your progress really amazes me."
"The sect master praises you so much that the disciples are ashamed of themselves. The slightest progress is all due to the sect's cultivation."
Fang Han lowered his head and spoke in a humble tone, neither humble nor arrogant.
Chen Tianyuan nodded slightly, with a trace of imperceptible satisfaction in his eyes.
A young man who succeeds in his ambition, but is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and has a calm mind. This boy is indeed a rare gem.
"It is a great joy for our Qingxuan Sect to have a disciple on the list of geniuses. According to the sect's practice, every disciple who is on the list of geniuses will be given a generous reward by the sect as encouragement."
Chen Tianyuan No more details, let's get to the point directly.
Fang Han's heart moved slightly, waiting for the next words.
"I know that you have been rewarded by the sect and have taken Earth Heart Stone Milk, which has improved your root and bone qualifications."
Chen Tianyuan looked at Fang Han with deep eyes.
"Although Earth Heart Stone Milk is good, this type of natural treasure has the best effect when taken for the first time. If taken again, the effect will be greatly weakened."
He paused and continued, "Therefore, for this reward, I have decided to take out a 'Sword-Shaped Grass' from the sect's collection and give it to you."
"Sword-Shaped Grass?"
Fang Han heard this, even with his character, his breathing could not help but stagnate slightly, and his eyes burst out with an uncontrollable light of surprise.
He was still regretting a few days ago that rare treasures like Sword-Shaped Grass, which can directly improve Sword Art Talent, are hard to come by. Even if they appear, they are definitely beyond his current financial resources.
He never expected that the sect would use such a precious treasure as a reward for his ranking!
"Disciple... Many thanks to the sect master for the generous gift! I will continue to practice diligently and live up to the expectations of the sect and the sect master!"
Fang Han bowed again, with a hint of heartfelt excitement in his voice.
Chen Tianyuan had a panoramic view of Fang Han's reaction. Seeing that he was surprised but not losing his composure, he felt even more satisfied and said warmly.
"These things complement each other exactly. I hope you can make good use of this treasure and go further in the art of swordsmanship."
He changed the topic, his eyes became a little distant, and asked.
"Fang Han, do you know why the sect values Prodigy Ranking so much? Why does the sect give extremely high treatment and resources to every disciple on the list?"
Fang Han's heart moved slightly, realizing that the sect leader's question seemed to have a deep meaning.
He pondered for a moment and answered cautiously.
"Returning to the sect master, I believe that the presence of disciples in the sect at Prodigy Ranking will greatly enhance the sect's reputation and intimidate all parties."
"In addition, those who can be on the list are all the future pillars of our Azure Profound Sect, which means they have great potential and are worthy of the sect's efforts to cultivate."
Chen Tianyuan After listening, he did not comment, but simply said, "Reputation and potential, these two are indeed the reasons, but they are not the main reasons."
Fang Han showed doubts in his eyes and said respectfully, "Please make it clear, Master."
Chen Tianyuan's eyes seemed to penetrate the dome of the hall, looking towards a distant and unknown place, and his voice was ethereal and solemn.
"The main reason is that Prodigy Ranking... is not just a list, it is about a mysterious and mysterious thing - luck."
"Luck?"
Fang Han's heart was shaken, and the shock in his eyes could not be concealed.
The theory of luck, even in this world of martial arts, is mysterious and elusive.
Unexpectedly, the sect leader actually said that Prodigy Ranking is related to luck.
Chen Tianyuan said slowly.
"The way of destiny is mysterious and unpredictable. Whether it exists or not, even with my level, I dare not make any unreasonable judgment."
"However, throughout ancient and modern times, those who climb the Prodigy Ranking often encounter extraordinary situations, often get a glimmer of hope in dangerous situations, and often find amazing Opportunity in ordinary places. This is a common fact."
"The ancestors of the sect have speculated that landing on Prodigy Ranking may be able to trigger and gather the energy from the underworld."
"Those with strong luck can also benefit from the sect and complement each other. Therefore, the sect treats Prodigy Ranking disciples favorably. It is also in compliance with this principle and encourages its momentum."
Fang Han was very excited. What he heard today really overturned his previous understanding.
Prodigy Ranking is related to such mysterious things as luck?
But if you think about it carefully, martial arts itself is an existence that breaks common sense. Things like Identity Token and General Ranking Martial Dao Stele are already beyond the scope of ordinary martial arts understanding.
Since these exist, it seems that the existence of luck is not completely unacceptable.
"Disciple... has been taught."
Fang Han took a deep breath, suppressed the waves in his heart, and said solemnly.
Chen Tianyuan saw that Fang Han was shocked but not confused, and could quickly accept and think about it. The admiration in his eyes became stronger, and he waved his hand and said.
"Go, Deacon Zhao will take you to the treasure house to get Sword-Shaped Grass. Practice diligently and don't let this Opportunity go down."
"Yes! Disciple resigns!"
Fang Han bowed again and slowly exited Sect Master's Hall.
It wasn't until he walked out of the palace door and felt the skylight and air outside again that he let out a breath of turbid air, with a trace of shock still remaining in his eyes.
Luck...Prodigy Ranking...
What he learned today opened a new door for him and gave him a deeper understanding of the world.
"Fang True Disciple, please come with me."
Deacon Zhao, who was waiting outside the hall, stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Thank you Deacon Zhao."
Fang Han gathered his thoughts and nodded.
Under the guidance of Deacon Zhao, the two did not go down the mountain, but turned to Azure Profound Mountain, a huge stone palace directly dug into the mountain.
The stone palace is closely guarded. Not only are there many guarding disciples, but also many Elder are stationed there. The security is extremely tight.
This is where Sect Treasury of the Azure Profound Sect is!
Deacon Zhao took out the suzerain token to verify his identity, and after several rounds of interrogations, he passed the verification.
The heavy stone door slowly slid open, revealing the deep passage behind it.
Deacon Zhao entered the treasure house alone. After about a stick of incense, he came out holding a Cold Jade box that was about a foot long and half a foot wide.
"Fang True Disciple, this is Sword-Shaped Grass given by the sect master, please check."
Deacon Zhao solemnly handed over the jade box.
Fang Han took it with both hands, and felt a chill creeping into his skin. The jade box was unusually heavy.
He carefully opened the lid of the box.
Suddenly, a cool and sharp breath hit his face.
Just a slight sniff made me feel refreshed, and all the thoughts about Sword Technique in my mind seemed to become clearer and more vivid.
Inside the jade box, it was covered with soft silver velvet, and a strange plant lay quietly in it.
This grass is about one foot long and has a pale golden color. Its shape is not an ordinary blade of grass, but looks like a miniature sharp sword.
There are nine symbiotic leaves, the leaves are long and narrow, the edges are as sharp as razors, and there is a faint flicker of light in the veins, as if there are countless tiny Sword Qi flowing.
It is the legendary kendo treasure--Sword-Shaped Grass!
"Correct, thank you Deacon Zhao."
Fang Han suppressed his excitement and carefully closed the lid of the box.
"True Disciple You're welcome."
Deacon Zhao Gongshou Dao.
Leaving the heavily guarded treasure house, Fang Han and Deacon Zhao parted ways.
Holding the jade box containing Sword-Shaped Grass, Fang Han no longer had the time to enjoy the scenery along the way. He used <Flowing Wind Shadowless Step> to the extreme, and returned to True Transmission Courtyard No. 35 Annex as fast as possible.
"I want to retreat, no one can disturb me!"
Qui Lan gave a hasty instruction to the approaching Qui Lan, and Fang Han went straight into Quiet Room and bolted the door with his backhand.
Inside Quiet Room, Sandalwood Incense curled up, blocking out all sounds from the outside world.
Fang Han sat cross-legged on the futon and placed the Cold Jade box in front of him.
He took a few deep breaths to completely calm down his agitated mind and adjust himself to the best condition.
Then, he opened the jade box again and took out the Sword-Shaped Grass.
The fingertips touched the grass blades, and a cool and sharp breath faintly spread along the meridians of the arms.
He no longer hesitated and put Sword-Shaped Grass into his mouth.
The entrance of Sword-Shaped Grass does not melt like Danyao, but seems to be transformed into countless subtle and cool Sword Qi.
It pours into the body along the throat, disperses to the limbs and bones in an instant, and finally flows into the sea of consciousness between the eyebrows like all rivers returning to the sea.
"Buzz--!"
Fang Han I felt as if there were thousands of swords ringing at the same time in my mind, and there seemed to be thunder exploding.
A cool but majestic strange energy, like a torrent that bursts from a dam, washes through his sea of consciousness and cleanses his soul.
Under this strange energy, his affinity, perception, and deduction ability for the sword increased crazily at an unprecedented speed.
What's even more exaggerated is that just like when Earth Heart Stone Milk was taken to improve the root bones, the talent improvement effect brought by Sword-Shaped Grass can also be multiplied by Sword Art Talent Amplification of System Panel.
Time passes quietly in profound transformation.
More than an hour later, Fang Han, who was sitting quietly, slowly opened his eyes.
Deep in his eyes, there seemed to be two extremely condensed sword lights flashing away, so sharp that one dared not look directly at them.
He gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, and this breath actually had a hint of sharpness.
"I wonder how much improvement a Sword-Shaped Grass strain can bring to me..."
With his mind moving slightly, Fang Han tried to deduce <Void-Sundering Nine Swords>'s moves in his mind.
In an instant, all kinds of changes in sword moves and all kinds of Sword Intent transformations appear naturally like clear streams, and you can understand them clearly.
Even though <Wind-Splitting Nine Swords>, as the top Sword Technique, is extremely difficult to practice, it is now a matter of course and there is no stagnation anymore.
"The effect... is amazing!"
Fang Han gently clenched his fist, feeling the deeper Insight power and control over the essence of kendo, and his heart was filled with shock and joy.
The magical effect of Sword-Shaped Grass, combined with the terrifying gain brought by 128-fold Sword Art Talent Amplification, has made his talent in swordsmanship reach an incredible level.
At this moment, he seemed to be born for the sword!
"Don't waste this God-given opportunity!"
Fang Han suppressed his turbulent emotions, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
He stood up, pulled out the Flowing Wind Sword from his waist, and began to practice the <Void-Sundering Nine Swords> that was already Beginner stage within the Quiet Room.
Wherever the sword light originates, it rotates freely and its meaning arises spontaneously.
Every sword swing carries a sharpness and mystery that pierces the void.
The speed of cultivation is at least several times faster than before taking Sword-Shaped Grass.
Within Quiet Room, sword shadows were flying, Sword Qi was solemn.
Fang Han was completely immersed in Sword Technique's practice, and his knowledge of the way of the sword climbed to a higher level at an unprecedented speed.
