After ng Ai finished analyzing the alternative path, she was eager to create another version suited for her.
She had finally decided, but where would she be able to get an empty book and a quill?
Suddenly, the humanoid man scroll appeared in her peripheral vision.
She was carrying an empty book and a quill, surprising ng Ai.
As soon as he arrived beside her, ng Ai asked, "How do you know I needed this?"
The humanoid man scroll, despite having complex facial features, smiled.
He said, "The library inford . You have beco the first person who is about to improve a book created by it. Goodluck! All the best for you!"
He then handed the book and the quill on ng Ai’s jade table under her stunned gaze.
He then bowed and said, "Please don’t hesitate to call if you need sothing. I will take a leave now."
ng Ai was still in shock as she could only nod absent-mindedly.
Watching the disappearing figure of the humanoid man scroll, ng Ai was lost for words.
She then slid her gaze and glanced at the book and caressed the surface.
She sighed.
"As expected of the quality of this book. It’s so similar to the book, Silent Threads of Infinity. I simply wish that whoever reads this in the future will know my na."
She smiled.
She knew that a true immortal lived not on their infinity lifespan but how they inspire the people and for generations to co. For the future to know and rember her na, spreading it around the word, was the testant she truly lived her life.
Inspired by this idea, ng Ai did not hesitate anymore to grab the feather and began to write the title of the book.
"Clear-Eyed Stream Archery thod authored by ng Ai."
Of course, she did not forget to add the reference.
"Inspired by the Insightful River-Eye Archery Canon by the Library."
After she read it, for so reason, a teapot and tea cup manifested in the jade table, startling her.
In the end, she smiled and bowed slightly. "Thank you, Library."
Despite not receiving an answer, ng Ai was certain that the library was a sentient existence.
She even admired her Big Brother Liu Wei even more since he was a librarian of what seed to be an artifact from the immortal domain.
ng Ai took the ti to taste the tea and he was surprised it contained the Dao she needed—Archery Dao and Dao of Knowledge.
Furthermore, what amazed her was the taste.
It was too...
"How soothing." She moaned.
It felt like every part of her body was nourished by the tea, even strengthening it. She would not be surprised if she beca as strong as a Body Tempering Stage Cultivator in the middle stage.
Furthermore, she perceived her mind was clearer than before and her ntal resilience has strengthened.
She mumbled, "With the help of the tea, I might be able to finish writing my own cultivation thod in one sitting."
Strangely, she was hoping that her Big Brother Liu Wei would take so ti to return... take more ti, and only disturbed her once she finished.
...
Without hesitation, ng Ai wrote her personalized technique.
The general concept of the Clear-Eyed Stream thod was built on ng Ai’s natural strengths.
In other words, twelve year old kids below her age and two year olds higher.
Hence, instead of brute force like the Insightful River-Eye Archery Canon, it taught her to move like flowing water.
Smooth.
Precise.
Always one breath ahead.
Hence, as it was a dual path cultivation thod, it focused on sharp observation, calm thinking, and intuitive pattern-reading.
After she wrote her comprehensive introduction, ng Ai then wrote the key components of the Clear-Eyed Stream Archery thod.
She started with the Stream-Breath Alignnt.
The Insightful River- Eye Archery Canon had long, rigid breathing cycles.
Hence, ng Ai shortened them into flowing, natural breaths.
She would inhale lightly, let the breath flow down her spine, and exhale without tension.
She mumbled, "This will keep my mind clear and prevent overexertion during the Body Tempering. Definitely suitable for kids! Hehe."
She was grinning ear to ear.
The Stream-Breath Alignnt would also steady her heartbeat, giving her stronger concentration while shooting.
ng Ai also considered others who would cultivate her technique in case they might not be cultivating it with knowledge intent as she had.
So, despite her personalized technique tailored for her, she already knew what was best for her. In the end, she simply personalized the technique in the situation where the kids must have still begun to learn Dao of Knowledge and even Dao of Archery.
In other words, what she was writing was for the future cultivator who would cultivate her thods, while the very tailor Clear-Eyed Stream Archery thod for her was already in her mind.
She could also read the book as her guide, too.
With this intention in mind, she continued to write the key components of the technique.
She wrote the Clear-Sight Focus Drill, which was her own version of perception exercise.
Instead of staring at flowing water for hours, she simplified it.
She suggested practicing looking at flickering candle light, drifting leaves, and moving shadows to observe the direction of their movent, irregular patterns, and timing between shifts.
This would help the cultivator to progress in the Dao of Knowledge.
At the sa ti, such practice was perfect for archery as it would improve their reaction speed, and let them anticipate tiny movents.
She then added the Three-Point Flow stance.
It was her revised archery posture.
She aid to draw the bow longer and held it steadier, without shaking or strain.
She then added her personalized shooting thod, which was called Ripple-Release Technique.
Instead of a sharp, forced release, she lets the arrow go in a ripple.
She aid for her arrow to fly straighter with less air distortion. At higher mastery, her release beca almost silent.
ng Ai was not aware but she was already in a flow. She did not even recognize she was writing.
She wrote the Flow-Prediction Sense and Gentle Body Refinents while imagining herself practicing the thod, too.
In the end, as she was lost in her own world, the humanoid man scroll had spoken just in ti her hand finally stopped.
"Miss ng Ai, the librarian has returned."
