Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 51 – The door of the Scripture Pavilion is open for
The next day, ng Fan, with Elder Lin's token in hand, arrived at the Scripture Pavilion.
Elder Lin had ntioned he'd already notified Old Wang of the Scripture Pavilion, so with the token, ng Fan should have unhindered access throughout the pavilion.
Just not the fifth floor!
Indeed, it was as Elder Lin said. Once ng Fan presented the token upon entering, no one bothered him as he perused the scriptures within.
ng Fan wandered through this ocean of knowledge, spending an entire day imrsed in the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion.
Comprehending the Sword God Stele was, after all, understanding the insights of others.
But here in the Scripture Pavilion, observing the sword techniques, ng Fan was studying and researching sothing of his own.
The Shu Mountain Sword Sect's Scripture Pavilion housed countless sword techniques, yet ng Fan had no intention of learning any specific one.
Instead, he planned to study these techniques to create his own "Myriad Swords Returning to One."
This idea had been with ng Fan for so ti, especially under the encompassing nature of the Primordial Dao, which ensured his decision would yield twice the result with half the effort.
For the average disciple, it might be possible to study only a few sword techniques in a day.
But ng Fan, with the bug that was Sword Dao Transcendence, could grasp the essence of any sword technique with just a cursory glance.
He didn't need to master these techniques thoroughly; a single look and a lasting impression were enough.
The key was to learn by analogy!
By the end of the day, ng Fan had reviewed hundreds of sword techniques.
In a corner of the first floor of the Sword Pavilion, an elder had been observing ng Fan ever since he entered the Scripture Pavilion.
This was the Old Wang that Elder Lin had spoken of.
Old Wang's status in the Scripture Pavilion was equivalent to that of Elder Lin in the Sword Pavilion.
He and Elder Lin were old friends, and lately, Elder Lin had been boasting about his excellent new disciple.
So when ng Fan ca to the Scripture Pavilion, Old Wang was very curious!
He wanted to see what kind of disciple Elder Lin had taken on that made him so insufferably proud.
After watching ng Fan for a day, he was sowhat disappointed.
Because the young man had spent the whole day looking at sword techniques.
But he had rely skimd through them all, hastily and ssily!
Such a cursory review of the sword techniques was aningless, a sheer waste of ti.
Was this young man here just to look at the nas of these techniques?
Elder Lin, who never bowed his head to him, had actually softened this ti just to give this youngster a chance to enter the Scripture Pavilion.
Yet, this youngster didn't cherish the opportunity, which made Old Wang feel a hint of anger.
With a bit of anger in his heart, Old Wang approached ng Fan.
He looked at ng Fan coldly and said, "What's the point of flipping through the sword techniques so carelessly, young man?"
ng Fan looked up, clearly startled, as he hadn't sensed anyone approaching.
"Senior, I am studying and researching these sword techniques, not flipping through them aimlessly!" ng Fan replied to the elder.
This elder had an extraordinary presence, certainly not a paper tiger like Senior Disciple Luo.
Such a senior deserved respect!
"Studying? If you're studying, then study properly! Flipping through the books so frantically, what can you learn? Do you even rember a single word?"
"Do you know how much effort your master put into getting you this opportunity to study in the Scripture Pavilion?"
"Wasting ti like this, unfocused and half-hearted, you're really squandering soone else's kindness!"
Hearing the old man's angry words, ng Fan realized that this was Old Wang, the one Elder Lin had ntioned.
"Old Wang, please don't be angry," ng Fan said with a helpless wry smile.
", angry? Why should I be angry? You're not my disciple!" Old Wang looked at ng Fan with disdain.
ng Fan smiled. He understood what Old Wang was angry about.
If anything, it was because he was too outstanding!
"Old Wang, do you think I'm not taking these sword techniques seriously and wasting ti?"
"What else could it be?"
"Then why don't you test , Senior? The sword techniques on the shelves behind you are the ones I've just gone through. Pick any one."
"Heh, still stubborn when you're clearly in the wrong!"
Old Wang randomly picked a sword technique from the shelf.
"Golden Yuan Sword Technique"
"I ask you about this Golden Yuan Sword Technique..."
...
...
Monts later, Old Wang stared at ng Fan, dumbfounded, as if looking at a monstrosity.
He had tested ng Fan with more than a dozen sword techniques, and ng Fan had managed to rember sothing about each one.
What was terrifying was that the more they discussed the techniques, the deeper ng Fan's understanding seed to be.
It was as if he had grasped the essence of the techniques with just one look.
This was simply impossible!
But if it were just one technique, Old Wang could have dismissed it as a fluke, perhaps ng Fan had studied that technique before.
But the sa was true for over a dozen techniques in a row.
This...
Only proved that the kid was a monstrosity, a complete and utter monstrosity.
No wonder Elder Lin was so insufferably proud when he talked about this disciple!
If he had such a disciple, he too would be over the moon.
Alas, he was a step too late!
At that mont, Old Wang even pondered whether there was a way to snatch ng Fan as his own disciple.
After much thought, he gave up.
Because he couldn't beat Elder Lin!
If he could, he would have shalessly snatched ng Fan for himself.
"The Scripture Pavilion is closing, you can go back now," Old Wang suddenly said to ng Fan.
"Huh?" ng Fan looked at Old Wang in surprise and said, "Old Wang, my master said I could study here for ten days and nights. Does that an I can stay here at night too?"
"Ten days and nights without sleep? How can you have the energy to read like that?
Starting today, you can co to the Scripture Pavilion whenever you want, there's no ten-day limit.
Even if you stay in the Scripture Pavilion for a month, I won't chase you away!
Go back and rest now. Only with proper rest can you be in the best state to read."
Old Wang's words left ng Fan sowhat stunned.
He had thought that being allowed to study in the Scripture Pavilion for ten days and nights was a great fortune.
But now, out of the blue, it had turned into unlimited access?
The doors of the Scripture Pavilion would always be open to him?
ng Fan stared at Old Wang, dumbfounded, wondering if the old man was really so capricious.
But, I quite like it!
Once ng Fan recovered, he quickly thanked Old Wang with excitent and gratitude.
"Thank you, Old Wang!"
Monts later, as Old Wang watched ng Fan leave the Scripture Pavilion, he let out a soft sigh.
How had he not encountered this monstrous genius earlier, allowing Elder Lin to get the jump on him!
Although ng Fan wasn't his disciple, he truly had taken a liking to him.
A place like the Scripture Pavilion should indeed be fully open to prodigies like ng Fan.
For soone like him, destined to beco a pillar of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, it would be the sect's biggest joke if he couldn't rise due to lack of access to the scriptures!
