This was the result of Xiaoyao casually repairing a book well. After this skill of his was discovered, he was imdiately pulled over by the library administrator to help. Naturally, Xiaoyao wouldn't refuse this, because it allowed him to have more thorough access to all the collected books.
So Xiaoyao resigned from his temporary servant job at the Le family. If he wanted to leave now, no one could stop him, nor did anyone have the ability to stop him. In the end, Le Youran let Xiaoyao keep his na registered with the Le family. Xiaoyao didn't mind this - he still got monthly wages, so why not?
As for the battle between Guxing and Le Youran, even without Xiaoyao, they would continue, because Guxing had to fulfill this condition, she had to formally defeat Le Youran.
Now Guxing had succeeded, but Le Youran was unconvinced. She in turn wanted to challenge Guxing. Today was when she was challenging, and the location had changed. Now it wasn't Guxing coming to find her, but Le Youran going to find Guxing, so the place was at First Academy Under Heaven where Guxing was.
In First Academy Under Heaven, there were quite a few sparring grounds. They casually borrowed one, and they would probably duel and spar here in the future.
Both of them knew that continuing to compete with each other would definitely stimulate their strength to grow, so they had an unspoken understanding about this. Even without a reason, they would continue.
It was only now that Guxing discovered that Le Youran was also from First Academy Under Heaven - she just rarely appeared there before. During this period, Le Youran frequently entered and left First Academy Under Heaven to spar with Guxing and read so books in the academy's library.
Guxing understood that Le Youran was looking for a breakthrough. Her martial cultivation had reached a critical point, and she wanted to break through this critical point. There were many ways to break through this critical point - it didn't necessarily have to be in one aspect, and breaking through from any aspect would have the sa effect.
...
...
Therefore, Le Youran wasn't just reading books in one area - martial arts manuals, internal cultivation thods, notes on insights from masters, and so on!
Competing with Guxing was also one thod. Because of this, recently she had been finding Guxing to spar much more frequently, and Guxing welcod all cors, because this was also beneficial to her.
At the sa ti, Guxing understood that she could improve to her current level so quickly largely thanks to Le Youran in front of her!
"Guxing, your servant runs around everywhere and isn't by your side for more than a few days a year. Don't you mind?"
After one sparring session, Le Youran and Guxing sat back-to-back on the ground. Le Youran asked a question she had always been curious about. She had been in contact with Xiaoyao and Guxing for almost two years now, and always felt this master-servant pair was strange. Their relationship seed very deep, yet they weren't often together.
"I don't mind! Because... when I need him, he always appears by my side. That's enough!" Guxing looked up at the sky, smiling.
"..." Le Youran fell silent. She seed to understand - so that's how it was...
As long as he appeared when needed, what did it matter whether he was around normally? I'd like to have such a servant too, even if just temporarily!
"During the year he was at the Le family, how much ti did you see him?" Guxing asked after a while.
"This..."
Le Youran was stuck. She thought back and discovered that she basically only saw Xiaoyao when Guxing ca. It was difficult to encounter Xiaoyao at other tis, but she hadn't paid attention to this at the ti, so she hadn't taken it to heart.
"Is he at the imperial palace now?"
"Yes! He's quite capable at various things - he knows how to do everything and can find things to do wherever he is. He definitely won't starve."
"Oh..."
...
"Achoo..."
Xiaoyao sneezed, wondering if he was catching a cold.
"Ah! Xiaoyao, how could you sneeze!"
"Co on, is it illegal for to sneeze!"
"Your sneezing isn't the problem, the issue is you can't do it right now. The book pages flew away..."
"..., If they flew away I can pick them up..."
Only then did Xiaoyao realize he was still in the middle of repairing books. He had just removed so pages, and now with one sneeze, all the pages had flown up.
"You make it sound easy - then you pick them up. You need to finish repairing all these books today, otherwise you won't get dinner tonight," The person working with Xiaoyao snorted coldly, then left with a wave of his hand.
"Fine, I'll get it done,” Xiaoyao wasn't angry - this was originally his mistake. At the sa ti, he never complained about work, which was sothing many people liked about him.
Xiaoyao bent down to clean up. With his mory, re-organizing was very easy. This book was already in his mory, and soon he had finished binding the book and repaired the damaged pages.
After finishing his own work, he went to the side to complete what the previous person had left behind. While he was organizing, he suddenly discovered that on one book page there seed to be so very tiny black dots like ants. This spot seed to be within the binding area, if the book wasn't taken apart, these black dots definitely wouldn't be discovered.
What were these black dots? Xiaoyao quickly reached a conclusion, these were characters, microscopic text written on the book using a special technique.
Xiaoyao imdiately took out a magnifying lens to carefully examine the text above. Although he could also use internal energy to enhance his eyesight, that was too tiring. He wasn't afraid of lacking internal energy, but his eyes couldn't handle it.
This wasn't the first ti Xiaoyao had done such a thing. Many tis before he had discovered other text in books. These were all very secret, so were martial arts manuals, so were chanism diagrams, so were dical prescriptions, so were account records, so were miscellaneous notes, and so on.
However, most were martial arts manuals, and generally the manuals preserved this way were extrely profound and rare. Xiaoyao had discovered this type before, but what seed rare when recorded had beco common everywhere by now.
But Xiaoyao hadn't gained nothing, quite a few things had benefited him, and he hadn't destroyed these things. He felt they should be left for those with fate to find them. His own discovery was also due to previous people's preservation.
But previous discoveries were far inferior to this one. This text was a to, a supre martial arts to, a martial arts to that could transform an ordinary person into a peerless master.
Since it was called a to, it must include internal cultivation thods, external martial training, movent techniques, martial skills for the eighteen types of weapons, and even so strange arts like soul manipulation and disguise techniques.
This was simply a fortuitous encounter.
It was also a fortuitous encounter triggered by a sneeze.
If Xiaoyao hadn't sneezed just now, that person wouldn't have left. If he hadn't left, Xiaoyao wouldn't have taken over his work and wouldn't have discovered the to in this book.
So today, Xiaoyao didn't eat dinner.
"Strange, that kid really didn't co to eat. Is there that much work? That's not right, with his ability it should be easy to handle. I was just slacking off a little, the workload wasn't that big!"
The person who had left earlier, seeing that Xiaoyao didn't co to eat, felt sowhat puzzled. But he didn't go check the situation, because he wouldn't disturb his rest ti just because of whether Xiaoyao ate or not.
And he didn't know what he had missed!
Xiaoyao spent the entire night morizing all the contents of this to, then repaired the book and put it back. He still didn't destroy this to, continuing to feel it should be left for those with fate.
As for when this fated person would appear, or whether they would appear at all - this wasn't sothing he needed to concern himself with. He also wouldn't deliberately make any reminder marks for people.
Although Xiaoyao obtained this to, he himself didn't cultivate it, because these things weren't very suitable for him. However, it could increase his knowledge base, give him new insights, and make his martial arts realm more profound. This was the effect this to had on him.
Of course, this was only for Xiaoyao. For Guxing, the appearance of this to was very tily, because Guxing already had a bottleneck. She had finished cultivating the Clear Jade Technique, and unless she went to Bright Jade Palace to get the later parts, she had to find sothing new.
Now she had the cultivation thod, and it happened to be the Clear Jade Technique. This to had several ntal thods that could allow anyone to cultivate. Martial arts tos were different from manuals - tos were comprehensive, allowing anyone who obtained them to successfully cultivate, unless they were once-in-a-millennium supre waste material. Otherwise, everyone would achieve sothing.
From this to, it seed that Bright Jade Palace's martial arts originated from this to, because there were martial skills here that coordinated with the Clear Jade Technique. These seed to be so of Bright Jade Palace's famous ultimate techniques.
But Bright Jade Palace's martial arts were much less than this to. It was unknown whether this was due to loss over ti, or whether Bright Jade Palace was originally a branch of this to's owner.
However, these things seed unrelated to Xiaoyao. He wouldn't care about these matters. He would only give the complete Clear Jade Technique to Guxing. As for those martial skills, he felt they were unnecessary, because Guxing had already ford her own martial skills. Her Lone Star Sword and Lone Star Palm could already match these ultimate techniques.
At the sa ti, having her change her own martial skills to cultivate others would take a lot of ti, and the effects might not necessarily be better than the original. This was also why generally ntal thods could be changed, but martial skills weren't easily changed.
A person's body had already beco accustod to one martial skill style. Changing to sothing else would make the body sowhat unaccustod, preventing the display of maximum power.
Therefore, martial skills weren't better the more profound they were, but needed to be suitable for oneself. Unsuitable ones, even if they were top-level martial skills, were equally useless, or even inferior to ordinary ones that suited oneself.
