Two to three thousand martial techniques?
How many brain cells would that consume?
Even creating one per day would require at least seven or eight years, wouldn’t it?
Had this woman been researching martial arts since she was eleven or twelve years old?
Wasn’t that a bit exaggerated!
“However.”
Shangguan Xinyao said with considerable disappointment, “Most of them are incomplete prototypes.”
In researching martial arts, she didn’t fixate stubbornly on one approach. When she encountered difficulties, she would set them aside temporarily, then continue researching along new lines of thought.
Over time, this accumulated into so many different martial techniques.
Of course.
During the research process, she would also gain inspiration to refine her previous techniques.
This method consumed the most brain cells. That she could create two to three thousand techniques and remember them all was quite terrifying.
“I see.” Jun Changxiao understood.
This was more reasonable. Otherwise, a young woman with modest martial cultivation creating two to three thousand martial techniques would be truly shocking to the world.
Shangguan Xinyao said, “Sect Leader has such profound understanding of martial arts. Could you help me improve these incomplete prototypes?”
“No problem.” Jun Changxiao replied.
Even if she hadn’t asked, he would have proactively helped improve them, because it concerned exchanging for secret manuals!
Shangguan Xinyao hurriedly organized the scattered papers.
Sect Leader Jun crushed an Insight Talisman and began improving them one by one.
Relying on himself alone, he absolutely couldn’t create martial techniques independently, but if someone provided the foundational concepts, he could use system items to effectively patch the deficiencies.
Shangguan Xinyao excelled at developing conceptual frameworks, but her abilities were limited in executing them fully.
The two working together made a golden partnership!
…
One day’s time.
Jun Changxiao relied on the Insight Talisman to improve a hundred martial techniques, increasingly marveling at Shangguan Xinyao’s strange and varied ideas.
For example, one elegant palm technique.
Following her concepts, it evolved into several different variations.
Though not high in quality, the underlying principles were different, perfectly suitable for padding the numbers!
Moreover.
Shangguan Xinyao was still very young.
As her age and experience increased, the martial techniques she created would certainly become stronger and more perfect.
In the future, she’d definitely be a martial arts grandmaster!
Having such a high-potential stock in my Tiegu Sect was truly wonderful!
“Let’s stop here for today, we’ll continue tomorrow.”
Jun Changxiao rubbed his temples, his expression slightly weary. Even cheating with the Insight Talisman was very mentally exhausting.
“Mm.”
Shangguan Xinyao left happily.
Having the Sect Leader help improve martial techniques made her understand many things, which would greatly help her create martial techniques in the future.
Swish!
Storing the improved martial techniques in his spatial ring, he opened the Technique Pavilion—all types of martial techniques were matched. Palm techniques alone had increased to 60!
There were also fist techniques and finger techniques, though fewer in number.
This was because Shangguan Xinyao’s created martial techniques leaned more toward palm techniques.
As for sword techniques and evil sect mental cultivation methods, those weren’t within her scope of understanding.
Jun Changxiao was already extremely satisfied.
If all of Shangguan Xinyao’s incomplete prototypes were improved, if not reaching 999 palm techniques, they’d at least come close. Purchasing some inexpensive martial techniques afterward would make exchanging for the Nine Seals of Heaven and Earth Palm within reach!
…
Bang!
In the training room, Li Qingyang and the others tested their strength after taking the Spirit Tempering Pills.
“The pills the Sect Leader gave are too amazing!”
Su Xiaomo said excitedly, “My realm cultivation hasn’t improved, but my strength increased by sixty to seventy thousand jin out of nowhere!”
Spirit Tempering Pills had effects similar to Body Sculpting Pills.
The upper limit of strength improvement was determined by the user’s cultivation level.
The Tiegu Sect disciples who took Spirit Tempering Pills now had spiritual energy intensity and purity at an entirely new level.
Outside martial cultivators simply couldn’t compare.
After testing, Ye Xingchen was also quite shocked, becoming more convinced that Jun Changxiao came from the Upper Realm. Otherwise, how could he have so many immortal elixirs and miraculous medicines?
Spirit Tempering Pills were limited, so many disciples hadn’t taken them yet.
However, there was no rush. Elder Wei was leading the Medicine Hall members in intensive cultivation.
In a few months, everyone having a Spirit Tempering Pill would be perfectly normal.
As high-ranking members of the sect, Jiang Xie and the Ning brothers also took Spirit Tempering Pills. After testing their strength, they too were deeply shocked!
Previously taking Body Sculpting Pills had improved their physique and strength; now taking Spirit Tempering Pills improved them again. They felt they had achieved the most comprehensive enhancement!
Especially Jiang Xie—his gratitude toward the Grand Helmsman flowed like endless river waters.
Without him.
How would he have joined the Iron Bones Clanging Sect!
The Ning brothers felt extremely fortunate about their earlier decision to pledge allegiance to Sect Leader Jun.
“Hall Master Li.”
The next day, Jun Changxiao said, “Go notify Steward Zhao to have him come to the sect for certification.”
The sect advancing to a school-level organization—this step had to be taken eventually.
“Mm.”
Li Luoqiu made the arrangements.
In just a moment, Steward Zhao at the Qingyang City Certification Hall received the message. He stood up with a “swish,” shock spreading across his face: “Another certification!”
His excitement stemmed from the fact that if Tiegu Sect certified again, it would advance from sixth-tier sect to fifth-tier, from a sect to a school!
As a steward of a branch Certification Hall, Zhao Xingming didn’t have this authority, so he hurriedly wrote a letter to contact the Main Certification Hall.
Upon receiving the news, Yi Tianxing gathered the four Great Elders at the fastest speed to discuss the matter, ultimately deciding to have Elder Zhou and Elder Zhen personally go to Tiegu Sect for certification.
…
“Sect Leader.”
Li Luoqiu said, “Steward Zhao says in three days, the Main Certification Hall will send two Elders to conduct the certification.”
“Understood.”
Jun Changxiao continued focusing his mind on improving martial techniques.
In two days he obtained over two hundred more martial techniques.
The Procurement Hall members had also begun traveling through Qingyang Commandery’s cities. As long as it was a martial technique, regardless of quality, they bought them all.
Unfortunately, though martial technique shops in various cities had many techniques, most were duplicates. After screening, only fifty or sixty were usable.
“If not for all the martial techniques Shangguan Xinyao created, to gather 999 palm techniques by myself, I’d have to travel through at least half of Xingyun Continent!” Jun Changxiao murmured.
The next day.
People from the Main Certification Hall arrived.
Elder Zhou and Elder Zhen looked at the Tiegu Sect disciples, feeling quite puzzled. Why hadn’t their aura and cultivation changed since the last visit?
“Oh my.”
Jun Changxiao strode into the great hall, cupping his fists: “Two Elders have traveled from afar. This Jun was remiss in welcoming you. Please forgive me, please forgive me!”
Elder Zhou smiled, “Being able to personally witness a top-three-tier sect advance to a school is also our honor.”
“Sect Leader Jun.”
Elder Zhen got straight to the point: “Advancing from sect to school, you can change the name. Have you already decided?”
Normally this would only be mentioned after a sixth-tier sect passed certification. His asking in advance meant that Tiegu Sect advancing to a school shouldn’t encounter any problems.
Jun Changxiao said, “Let’s certify first.”
“Very well.”
The two quickly entered work mode, setting up various certification tools on the training grounds.
“Sect Leader Jun.”
After the disciples had all gathered, Elder Zhou said quietly, “Your disciples’ auras don’t seem to have changed much. This won’t meet the requirements.”
“All disciples, hear my command.”
Jun Changxiao snapped his fingers: “Display your auras and let the two Elders witness!”
Whoosh whoosh—
Martial auras erupted across the training grounds, instantly gathering into towering waves!
Elder Zhou and Elder Zhen’s eyes widened simultaneously, crying out in disbelief: “All… all are Wushi!”
