Chapter 52 Respected Master, I Understand
Misty Mountain, Wayless Sect.
Inside the Hall of Law Transmission, a serene silence prevailed.
Occasionally, the sound of flipping book pages arose.
In a corner, Zhang Han sat holding a book, quietly reading.
Compared to Zhang Han from over three months ago,
the Zhang Han of this moment exuded a certain charm.
It was hard to pinpoint the source of this charm.
But it rendered the gentle aura around Zhang Han even more pronounced, as if he had transformed into a Confucian immortal, aloof from worldly concerns.
"This advanced Array Mastery Complete Works, I've almost finished reading it. The accumulated energy should be enough for me to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm in one go!"
Zhang Han slowly put the book down and murmured softly to himself.
He possessed an Innate Array Heart.
He needed no cultivation.
Solely by studying and setting up formations, he could snatch energy from heaven and earth to aid in his own cultivation breakthroughs.
The more formations he studied and set up, the faster his breakthroughs naturally came.
However, Zhang Han did not proceed in this manner.
He stored all the energy he had snatched from studying formations within his Array Heart.
He stored without releasing it!
Waiting for the right moment to muster his strength and break through to a higher realm.
Don't ask why he did this.
If you ask, it's because he wanted to give his Respected Master a surprise!
Zhang Han deeply remembered the kindness his Respected Master had shown him.
He thought of repaying his master at all times.
And to repay his Respected Master, the best way was to strengthen his own cultivation and make his master proud!
He still had the appearance of a mortal for now.
But later, with a surge of effort, he would break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, Divinity Transformation Realm, or even the Tribulation Transcending Stage!
He believed by then, his Respected Master would surely be greatly comforted!!
Thinking of that day, Zhang Han's usually calm eyes brimmed with anticipation.
Just then.
A distant and ethereal voice came from outside the hall, seeming both far and near.
"Han'er."
Hearing this voice,
Zhang Han's body shook violently, he came back to his senses, and carefully placed the book back in the corner.
After putting it away,
Zhang Han stood up and looked towards the outside of the hall.
Chu Yuan was seen approaching, walking on clouds, his robe billowing, black hair fluttering, face serene, like an exiled immortal at ease, taking leisurely steps into the hall.
"Disciple Zhang Han pays his respects to the Respected Master!"
With a surge of warm feelings and overwhelming thoughts, Zhang Han deeply bowed to Chu Yuan, offering a grand salute.
Without his master, there would be no him today.
Perhaps he would still be in that mundane family, playing the role of a 'waste.'
Might be after his death, the family would even discuss removing his name from the family records, so as not to sully the family's good name...
Everything he had today was bestowed upon him by his master!
In terms of gratitude, undoubtedly his master ranked first!
Zhang Han declared that in this life, he intended to repay his master properly!!
Chu Yuan, who had just walked into the hall, was unaware of the drama unfolding in his second disciple's heart and entered with a casual demeanor.
"Han'er, no need for such formalities. I have noticed you have been in the Hall of Law Transmission day and night, and came especially to remind you that while reading is good, you must prioritize your health."
"If reading leads to neglecting your body, it would not be worth it."
"Han'er, do you understand?"
Chu Yuan, with hands clasped behind his back, stepped in front of his disciple and spoke in a heartfelt manner.
Upon hearing these words,
Zhang Han felt even more moved.
Look, just look.
What is called a master?!
This is what a master is!
He personally came to check on him, just to ensure that he takes good care of himself.
With such a master, he had no regrets in this life!
"Respected Master! Your disciple understands! It's just that the books in the Hall of Law Transmission are complex and difficult to grasp; I can only comprehend them by giving more thought and attention."
"Your disciple is aware of your concern, Master, and is very grateful for it!"
Zhang Han, suppressing his surging emotions, bowed and spoke with refined grace.
Chu Yuan, standing there, was taken aback at those words.
Books in the Hall of Law Transmission are all obscure and difficult to understand?
Haha.
A book of mere pounds and ounces, and you're saying it's obscure and difficult to understand?
But then again, that's probably right.
Books written blindly, all fakes, would indeed be odd if they could be understood easily.
To say they're obscure and difficult to understand is quite normal, I suppose.
However, what Chu Yuan was concerned about wasn't whether he could understand them or not, but that he feared his honest disciple would be stupefied if he read too many of those 'fake books'.
After much thought, Chu Yuan took out a book from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Han.
"Take this book. Study it whenever you have free time."
The book that Chu Yuan handed to Zhang Han was a treasure to Chu Yuan.
It was precisely the "Basic Cultivation Method Explanation for the Early Stage of Qi Refining Realm".
There was no helping it.
Chu Yuan was really worried that his honest disciple would be stupefied by the 'fake books' here if he read too many of them.
So he had no choice but to give his cherished book to his honest disciple.
Anyway, this honest disciple had no Spirit Root and couldn't cultivate.
Letting this honest disciple study a real book more wouldn't hurt.
Zhang Han obediently accepted the book and glanced at it.
All of a sudden, he was dumbfounded.
What, what is this?
Basic Qi-Refining Technique Explained for Beginners??
There are so many astonishing books here to read, and Master wants me to read this type of book?
Zhang Han wanted to ask something more.
But Chu Yuan simply waved his hand, indicating that Zhang Han didn't need to speak.
"This book, take a good look at it, just look at it more," he said.
"Besides, our sect's Divine Weapon Pavilion has been opened. If you are free, you may go there and observe. The Divine Weapon Pavilion holds some of the incredible divine weapons passed down from our Wayless Sect."
"If you're fortunate enough to earn the recognition and follow of one of those divine weapons, it will greatly benefit your path of cultivation."
Chu Yuan spoke slowly.
After saying this.
He turned and walked towards the exit of the Hall of Law Transmission.
He came hastily and left just as hastily.
But, compared to the joy when he arrived, the mood upon leaving wasn't quite as good.
He came all the way here just to lose a secret manual he had bought with his own money.
A total loss.
Chu Yuan felt gloomy and decided to go lie in the back mountain, bask in the sun, and ease his mood a bit.
As for Zhang Han.
He was still standing there, holding the "Basic Cultivation Method Explanation for the Early Stage of Qi Refining Realm" and staring blankly.
Master...
What was Master's intention?
Inside the Hall of Law Transmission were piles of top-notch secret arts and manuals, some even of the clandestine and rare caliber.
Master didn't want him to look more at those books, instead insisting he study this "Basic Cultivation Method Explanation for the Early Stage of Qi Refining Realm". What could be the meaning?
With a perplexed mindset.
Zhang Han opened the book and read through it once.
For him, reading a book of this level posed no stress, and it took only the time of burning an incense stick to finish the entire book.
But Zhang Han still didn't understand.
What exactly was Master trying to convey?
There was nothing strange about this book.
Oh, the only oddity was that there actually was an explained version of a Basic Cultivation Technique book for the Early Qi Refining Stage.
Isn't reading this sort of book as easy as having eyes?
Is there a need for an explained version?
For one to need an explained version, what kind of talentless person would that be?
Zhang Han puzzled for a moment, his gaze fixed on the cover of the book.
Basic Qi-Refining Technique Explained for Beginners...
Basic...
Basic...
Boom!
Suddenly, Zhang Han's mind was shaken, and he leapt to his feet.
"Master! I've got it!!"
