"The disciple accidentally discovered this person in a small town in Songquan Prefecture. This person used fake secret books as bait to induce all forces to fight for him."
"The disciple noticed something was wrong, so he followed the clues to find his hiding place and found these secret books."
Fang Han briefly explained the process of discovering the counterfeiter, focusing on the suspicion of the forces behind the counterfeiter.
"Although this person is a Third Grade warrior, he is extremely decisive in his actions. After being captured by his disciples, he took poison and committed suicide without hesitation, just like a dead soldier."
"The disciple suspects that there must be some force behind him. This force deliberately spreads the false secrets in order to add fuel to the fire and make Songquan Prefecture's already contentious situation even more chaotic."
Chen Tianyuan After listening to Fang Han's narration, the eyebrows that originally stretched out due to the master's secret skills slowly sank again.
He has heard about Songquan Prefecture Grandmaster's Tomb for a long time.
When the news first came, he had thought about sending someone there secretly to see if he could get a piece of the pie.
I was just concerned that the top forces in Songquan Prefecture were extremely sensitive to interference from forces outside the county, and that a little carelessness might trigger conflicts between sects. After careful consideration, I finally chose to give up.
Now it seems that there is still such a conspiracy hidden in this matter.
The decisiveness and secrecy of the counterfeiters' actions are beyond what ordinary Jianghu Rogue Person can do. There must be some force behind it secretly controlling it.
This force deliberately spreads false secrets in order to add fuel to the fire and make Songquan Prefecture's already contentious situation even more chaotic.
As for why that force did this and what its deeper purpose is, there is currently too little information available to judge.
But one thing is certain, this matter is not muddy water that Azure Profound Sect should go into.
He initially decided not to send anyone to fight for it, but now that he thinks about it, he has avoided a lot of trouble.
"The six secret books you brought back this time, especially <Shadowveil>, have filled the gap in the sect's master-level secrets and are of great value to the sect."
Chen Tianyuan came back from his thoughts and his eyes fell on Fang Han again.
He paused and his tone was a little more solemn.
"Remember two Major Merit for you."
Fang Han's heart moved slightly.
Two Major Merit, this reward is not light.
Last year, Deacon found a master-level Horizontal Training technique <Black Tortoise True Art> for the sect. After going through life and death, he only remembered Major Merit.
Although he turned in 6 secret books this time, only one was a master-level technique. He received two Major Merit rewards, which is already a quite generous reward.
"Disciple, thank you sect master for the reward."
Fang Han stood up and solemnly handed over his hands.
With the addition of these two Major Merit, his number of Major Merit will reach 5, making him rich again.
Chen Tianyuan waved his hand and was about to ask Fang Han to leave, but saw that Fang Han had no intention of leaving.
"Is there anything else?"
Chen Tianyuan's eyes fell on Fang Han.
Fang Han took out the cyan gemstone from his arms and held it up with both hands.
"My disciple was traveling this time and got this thing by chance, but I don't know its origin and use. I would like to ask the sect master to help me take a look."
Chen Tianyuan took the gem.
The drop-shaped crystal glows with a warm green light under the light in the hall, and a layer of faint halo circulates on the surface.
The tentacles were slightly cool, and a faint wave came from inside, covering him.
He held the gem in his palm and looked at it carefully for a moment, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Your luck is pretty good."
Chen Tianyuan raised his head, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"If I read it correctly, this should be a Wind Jade, a kind of Mid-Grade Heavenly Treasure."
"Mid-Grade Heavenly Treasure?"
Fang Han's brows raised slightly.
He didn't expect that this cyan gemstone, whose use he had never figured out, was actually a Mid-Grade Heavenly Treasure.
Treasures from heaven, materials and earth are treasured, and Mid-Grade Heavenly Treasure is even more treasured, far rarer than Low-Grade Heavenly Treasure.
"Then what is the use of this Wind Jade?"
he asked.
"Wind Jade can enhance the wearer's affinity for the wind attribute, which is of great help in practicing wind attribute martial arts."
"You are practicing wind-attribute martial arts, and this thing is just right for you."
Chen Tianyuan handed the gem back to Fang Han, paused, and added.
"You only need to wear it on your body when practicing wind attribute martial arts, and you will feel the effect."
Fang Han took Wind Jade, feeling suddenly enlightened.
No wonder he has never been able to figure out the use of this thing. It turns out that he needs to practice wind attribute martial arts to feel the effect.
"Thank you, sect master, for clarifying my disciple's doubts."
Fang Han carefully took Wind Jade into his arms and thanked him.
Chen Tianyuan nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Fang Han bowed, turned around and exited Sect Master's Hall.
Leave Sect Master's Hall, Fang Han and go down along the bluestone steps.
The afternoon sun pours down from the eaves and brackets, spreading a layer of warm gold on the steps.
In the distance, the shouts of the disciples practicing martial arts could be heard faintly, mixed with a few long bells, which made the mountain quieter.
He held the Wind Jade in his hand, and the place where his fingertips touched felt warm and cool, and a vague green light flowed in the palm of his hand.
A strange feeling enveloped him, like an invisible veil surrounding him.
No. 35 Annex's courtyard door is ajar.
Fang Han pushed the door open and walked in. Qui Lan raised his head when he heard the sound of the door and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Senior brother is back."
Fang Han nodded.
"Get me a stronger silk thread."
Qui Lan didn't ask any more questions, turned around and entered the room. After a while, he walked out holding a small ball of light cyan silk thread.
The silk thread is twisted from sky silk. It is as thin as a hair, but extremely strong. It is used to mend clothes in daily life.
Cut a section from Fang Han, pass it through the tiny opening at the top of Wind Jade, tie it with a tight knot, and hang it around your neck.
Wind Jade is pressed against the chest, and the warm and cool touch comes through the fabric, which is a bit clearer than when it is held in the palm of the hand.
He straightened his clothes, hid all the silk threads and Wind Jade under his robe, turned around and walked towards the backyard Cultivation Ground.
The backyard Cultivation Ground was expanded a few days ago, and the obsidian-paved floor glows with a deep luster in the afternoon sun.
The crisscrossing sword marks in the field are still clearly distinguishable, varying in depth. Some are as thin as a hair, and some are as wide as an inch. They are all traces left behind when he practiced <Void-Sundering Sword Manual> day after day.
"Start verifying from Sword Technique!"
Fang Han stood in the center of the open space, pressing the hilt of Cloudsplitter Sword's sword with his right hand.
"Keng--"
Cloudsplitter Sword was unsheathed, and the sword blade of Dark Cyan was flowing with restrained brilliance.
He did not rush to draw his sword, but first closed his eyes and concentrated, slowly going through the mental method of <Void-Sundering Sword Manual> in his mind.
The changes in sword moves that have long been familiar to me, the Internal Qi operation method, the fusion of Wind Concept and Sword Intent - everything is clearly presented, like a picture scroll spread out in front of you.
Then he opened his eyes, and with the blessing of Wind Concept, he stabbed out with a sword.
This sword was neither fast nor slow, just a simple straight thrust.
The tip of the sword cut through the air, making a very subtle tearing sound, and an imperceptible transparent ripple spread out where the sword tip passed, condensing and not dissipating.
When Proficiency Realm's <Void-Sundering Sword Manual> is deployed, its power is quite impressive, but what Fang Han is paying attention to right now is not the power, but something else.
He sheathed his sword and swung it again.
The second sword, the third sword, the fourth sword.
His movements became slower and slower, but his mind became more and more focused, all his attention devoted to sensing the changes in Wind Concept.
A different feeling than before appears!
It was a very subtle feeling, just like a layer of gauze originally covering the eyes was gently lifted.
Wind Concept is still the same Wind Concept, and his control over Artistic Conception is still the same, but he "sees" it more clearly.
When he was practicing <Void-Sundering Sword Manual> before, his perception of the Wind Concept contained in Sword Technique was like looking at a flower in the fog. Although the layer of fog was thin, it always shrouded his eyes, making the outline, color, and texture of the flower a bit hazy and unreal.
At this moment, the layer of fog seemed to be blown away a bit by a breeze.
The outline of the flower is still the same, the color is still the same, and the texture is still the same, but it has become clearer and more layered.
"What is enhanced is not understanding, but perception!"
Fang Han's movements paused slightly, and then returned to smoothness.
He continued to practice Sword Technique, and the sword light crisscrossed Cultivation Ground, like thunder suddenly appearing, so fierce and terrifying that it was terrifying.
He could clearly feel that his perception of Wind Concept had become sharper.
It's not that understanding has become stronger, but that perception itself has become sharper.
Comprehension and perception are two different things.
Comprehension determines how much understanding he can extract from existing perceptions, and perception determines how much information about Wind Concept he can receive from the outside world.
What Wind Jade enhances is the latter. It enhances the natural affinity for wind attribute power and enhances the perception of wind attribute power.
As your perception becomes sharper, it will naturally become easier to understand Wind Concept.
It was like a person whose eyesight could only reach a hundred feet, but his eyes were suddenly opened and he could clearly see the scenery two hundred feet away.
The scenery itself has not changed, but the amount of information he can receive has doubled, and his observation ability has naturally become stronger.
"In terms of Sword Technique, the effect is extremely significant. Let's take a look at Body Movement!"
Fang Han put away his sword and stood up, slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air.
He did not continue to practice Sword Technique, but sheathed Cloudsplitter Sword, stood in the middle of the open space with his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment.
Then he opened his eyes and moved.
"Whoosh--"
<Wind God Step>Expand.
The green-robed figure turned into an invisible stream of light, moving silently through Cultivation Ground.
The criss-crossing sword marks on the obsidian ground flew past his feet, and were left far behind him the next moment.
His figure sometimes flew as fast as the wind, flashing from the east wall to the west corner, leaving a twisted afterimage in the air.
Sometimes it floats like clouds, leaving behind a series of virtual images that are difficult to distinguish between true and false in a small area. You can see them in front of you, but suddenly they are behind you.
The same feeling as when I was practicing Sword Technique just now emerged again.
The perception of Wind Concept has become more acute.
That kind of sensitivity does not come from the thinking level, but from the body itself.
It comes from the skin's perception of the subtlest changes in airflow, from the subtle resonance between Internal Qi in the meridians and the wind energy of the outside world, and from the originally elusive rhythm contained in the counter-shock force when the feet land.
As your perception becomes sharper, you will naturally know how to integrate Wind Concept into Body Movement more subtly, how to make every turn more in line with the flow of the wind, and how to make every rise and fall more in line with the swaying of the wind.
