After taking the jade slip, Xiao Yu sent his divine sense into it and examined it carefully.
The jade slip began with the words "Heaven-Supporting Demon Art" in large, glittering golden characters. What followed were passages of cultivation instructions. Xiao Yu read through them carefully and found that this was indeed a powerful art, one of Body-and-Magic Dual Cultivation. However, it only went as far as late Core Formation; the portions for the Nascent Soul stage and beyond were missing.
As for whether any sentences had been omitted or any instructions altered, Xiao Yu could not tell just yet. Still, it read quite smoothly. He wondered whether Man Huzi had tampered with it just as he himself had done.
But Xiao Yu did not particularly care. Whether it was falsified or not, once he returned and optimized it with the Heavenly Book, he would certainly obtain an art suited to him. Heh, when the time comes, I'll fuse it with the Brahma Saint Body Refining Art and see what happens.
When Xiao Yu finished reading, he put down the jade slip and glanced at Man Huzi, who also looked delighted. The two laughed in unison.
"My disciple, why does this only go up to late Core Formation? Where's the part for the Nascent Soul stage and beyond?" Man Huzi asked after his laughter subsided.
"Please allow me to explain, Master. This art is imprinted in my mind, and I can only view the corresponding portions once my cultivation reaches the required level. I cannot see the later instructions. Please forgive me, Master!" Xiao Yu immediately adopted a helpless expression.
Like hell I believe you! Man Huzi inwardly cursed the little fox. The brat had definitely done it on purpose. But now was not the time to call him to account.
