Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 889 - 823: It’s You Who Got Fooled, Not Us!

Zhang San entered the Sword Storing Pavilion through the formation and was completely stunned.

From outside, the Sword Storing Pavilion seemed vast, but Zhang San merely thought it was a massive building, like an extraordinarily spacious library.

However, once inside, Zhang San realized that the entity of the Sword Storing Pavilion was not the building seen from the outside, but a small mountain completely surrounded by the structure.

Perhaps initially, it was the Qing City Sword Sect who discovered this mountain, and maybe there was something special about it, or inserting a blade into it could result in an enhancement or some kind of blessing.

Thus, the Qing City Sword Sect constructed a massive pavilion to cover the mountain, then laid a winding staircase around it on the inside.

From the outside, the Sword Storing Pavilion appeared to have nine floors.

However, from the inside, it was much more than just nine stories.

Because along the walls between each floor’s staircases, there were numerous sword technique manuals as well.

There were even many swords embedded on the side close to the mountain.

"Spear, is there a way to find the most powerful sword technique manuals here?"

The Spear inside the Mo Blade quipped, "I haven’t read those manuals. How would I know which are powerful and which aren’t?"

Upon hearing this response, Zhang San immediately thought of another angle and asked, "Can you locate any manual that recently has the most human aura on it?"

Although Zhang San didn’t know which sword technique secret manuals in the Sword Storing Pavilion were the strongest, only the insiders of the Qing City Sword Sect would know such details.

However, those who want to learn sword techniques would surely come to look at the sword technique manuals.

And the three main core sword techniques of the Qing City Sword Sect must be the ones most frequently studied.

Therefore, the sword technique manuals with the most human aura naturally would be those.

"That’s simple!"

The Spear released its perception, quickly locating seven manuals.

Clearly, some manuals were mainstream ones, while others might be quite popular.

"Speaking of which, there are quite a few swords here with Sword Intent. Although these Sword Intents are different from Blade Intent, absorbing them could slightly enhance my Blade Intent. But can I really absorb these Sword Intents?"

Zhang San looked at the countless long swords embedded in the mountain inside the Sword Storing Pavilion.

"There’s a restriction in my formation that I can’t take anything from here, so I can only memorize what I see. But you’re different; you’re not me. If you absorb the Sword Intent, it becomes your Blade Intent. What problem is there in taking your own Blade Intent out?"

Spear agreed with Zhang San’s reasoning and immediately started rushing towards the blades with Sword Intent on the mountain, swiftly circling and absorbing, refining the Sword Intent.

Indeed, the Sword Intents here also enhanced and improved my Blade Intent, although the Sword Intent from that last sword merely reached the Second Stage, after absorbing it completely, my current Blade Intent above the Fourth Stage only improved by one thousandth, but an improvement is still good.

Spear excitedly flew towards the next sword.

Meanwhile, Zhang San, guided by the locations marked by the Spear, started searching for the sword technique manuals.

After all, the three main core sword techniques of the Qing City Sword Sect were very famous.

As long as he could find the secret manual and flip through it, he would know whether it was the right one.

The first one Zhang San found was the Eight Tones Sword, one of the three core sword techniques of the Qing City Sword Sect. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The biggest feature of the Eight Tones Sword is combining sound with swordsmanship. Amidst the sword’s resonant hum, immense power can erupt.

Next, after Zhang San found a manual about body technique speed, he discovered another sword technique called the Bright Moon Pine Sword Technique.

This sword technique emphasizes stability, unmoving like a pine, calm as the moon.

It is a sword technique that uses the unchanging to respond to all changes.

It seems simple and is extremely easy to start, though as one cultivates and progresses in the sword technique, its power can be significantly enhanced.

It can even achieve both offense and defense in one, truly exceptional!

Soon, Zhang San found all the sword technique manuals of the Qing City Sword Sect.

He silently memorized every sword technique manual within them.

Then, Zhang San began practicing the three main core sword techniques of the Qing City Sword Sect.

While this was happening, the Spear was continuously seeking out sword after sword with Sword Intent, absorbing and assimilating the Sword Intents to strengthen its own Blade Intent.

Unfortunately, at first, the Spear’s Blade Intent could increase by one thousandth, but later, many Sword Intents were very similar to those it had previously absorbed, resulting in almost no increase in its Blade Intent.

Not knowing how much time passed, Zhang San, having just completed the cultivation of the Bright Moon Pine Sword Technique, slowly opened his eyes and noticed the Spear had returned to his side without him realizing it.

"Spear, why did you come back? Did you absorb all the Sword Intent?"

Spear sighed and said, "I feel the time is almost up, it should be dawn, and we need to leave. I’m afraid that if you’re leaving and I fly out separately, I might get spotted by the people of the Qing City Sword Sect, which wouldn’t be good."

Zhang San looked puzzled at Spear and said, "Didn’t you listen when I talked to Hu and the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums about it earlier?"

"I was resting at the time, why?"

"Nothing really, don’t worry. It won’t be dawn."

Hearing this, Spear was full of doubts.

"Why?"

Zhang San glanced outside the Sword Storing Pavilion and said, "Because I let the Immortal Monarch Who Treads Snow in Search of Plums and Hu whip up a storm outside. At this moment, the sky above the Sword Storing Pavilion is filled with dark clouds. So the question arises, my condition for leaving the Sword Storing Pavilion is dawn, but now, is it really dawn?"

At this moment, Spear realized, indeed, it had been too naive.

No wonder the human race could dominate the world and occupy such a vast territory.

Back when it followed Chi You, many areas in the Central Plains weren’t even under the human race’s control, not to mention many surrounding regions.

Yet now, everywhere is human territory.

No wonder it’s this way; the human race is truly intelligent and cunning!

Thus, Spear immediately went to find other treasured swords.

This time, Spear began concentrating on choosing, ignoring swords with mere Second Stage Sword Intent.

If it were to absorb, it would choose swords close to Third Stage Sword Intent.

As for Zhang San, he continued to practice the next sword technique.

Although Zhang San wasn’t particularly skilled in swordsmanship, the similarities between blade techniques and sword techniques made the learning process quite fast.

And at that time outside the Sword Storing Pavilion.

Lin Wenshan, who initially felt he was taking full advantage, gazed at the dense dark clouds and the sudden downpour over Qing City Mountain.

But the heavy rain soon turned into a fine drizzle.

Lin Wenshan vaguely sensed that something seemed to be amiss, so he asked his old comrade beside him, "Old Brother Zhuge, have we been tricked?"

Zhuge Longyin shook his head.

Lin Wenshan felt a bit reassured.

Zhuge Longyin spoke up, "You were tricked, not us!"
